THE PRIVATE SOLDIER
His Trials, Hardships, and What We
 Owe Him.
(Contributed)


 It was with a spirit of loyalty, love of liberty, reverence for the consti- tuition, and respect for the law, that made the volunteer soldier and sailor of '61-'65 the models of all time. They followed the stars and stripes through sunshine and storm, victory or defeat, and when others faltered, laid their lives upon the altar of lib- erty and union, that "a government of the people, by the people" should not perish from the earth. Their trials and hardships were far beyond our realization.
 As the civil war recedes, the men who shared together the privations of the frozen camp, the hardships of the forced march, the dangers of the bat tlefield, the sufferings of the field hos pital and untold agonies of the pris on pen. long for the touch of com rades' elbow as of old, and seek the Post room where they feel that they are at home, as in the house of theil friends.
 It is there-that the general and the private, the merchant and the clerk the millionaire and the laborer, sit side by side as comrades, bound eacf to the other by ties the tenderest, vel the most enduring of any in the world. outside the family circle Who but a veteran can tell the joy of meeting one who in years gone by had shared his tent, his hardtaek anc his canteen.
 Comrades who have not met since the struggle, meet there and at the reunions. and clasp hands once more like brothers. These champions oi civil and religious liberty, recognize the dignity of labor, but have nc sympathy with anarchy; recognize nc flag but the stars and stripes, and ex alt all that pertains to and honori this great union, believing loyalty i' a virtue and treason a crime.
 The future citizens of the Republic are being educated in the public schools and the flag of our country should ever be before them as an ob feet lesson.

the administrations of Govern
ors Folk, Hadley and Major has
been paid in two years by Gov
ernor Gardner's administration.
At the beginning of his admin
istration, Gov. Gardner was fac
ed with this deficit and made ar
rangements with some st. Louis
bankers to borrow the money
and pay all creditors. He and At
torney General McAllister,
Treasurer M%iddlekamp and Au-
ditor Hackman promising to pay
the indebtedness before the close
of 1918.
During the time the indebted
ness had been decreased to
$473, 716.02. On December 81, it
was found that with all accounts
against the state paid the bal
ance could be paid and leave a
good balance in the treasury.
Auditor Hackman did not want
to pay the account according to
agreement but for some reason
desired that the balance be al
lowed to hang over. The account
was paid however by Governor
Gardner and his associates on
the Fund Commission without
Hackman's consent.

JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
Doing of the Legislature and
State Officers Told as Terse-
~ as Possible.
By Means Ray

The Fiftieth General Assembly
has commenced its organization
and is now ready for business
with the exception Of committee
assignments which will be made
the last of this week.
The organization TINS year
was quite interesting and kept
everyone guessing as to the final
outcome. In the Senate there
was quite a contest between
Senators Walter c. Goodson and
Wallace Greene for President
Protein and it looked for a time
that the feeling between the OPP
posing factions might wax warm
but before the election all diff
ferences were ironed out and
Senator Goodson was selected.
In the House the Republican
contest was more spirited with
considerably more feeling. The
ambitions of Representative
Sam O'Fallon, Of Holt county,
Camnbell of Cedar and Becker
of Polk clashed. After O'Fallon
had been selected by the Repub-
lican majority in caucus over
Campbell seventeen members Of
the House walked out of the or
ganization session and refused
to take part in the proceedings
until some arrangements had
been made with them. What the
arrangements were is not gen
orally known but it is expected
that it was a shake down for
committee assignments, Al
though the election of 0'Fallen
was affected the feeling is run
ming high and resembles very
much the Republican deadlock
some years ago in the Neidring-
haus-Keren contest for the u,
nited States Senate.

be his forty-foot motorcycle leap across

that this was only a mere incident.
MISS Thornton, too, had the most
thrilling experiences. She was shot
through the rapids in canoe with
Hutchinson, as we'll as being swept
through a whirlpool and over "a falls,

made his way over the precipice, with
the rapids far below, going over a thin
log that swayed and bent beneath his
weight; she climbed hand over hand
down rope from q ninth story Win

which the best local athletes baked.
