"To send thousands of such trained

STOLEN VICTORIES
POSSESS NO SWEET

Legislation just to legislation DEM
ocrats out of office may be higher
politics, but we have our doubts about
it. Unquestionably the seven Demo-
cratic Circuit Judges who had the
skids put under them by the last ses-
sion of the Missouri Legislature feel
much the same way about it.
When Alexander the Great was
urged by his friends to attack the ar
mics of Darius under cover Of night
he replied by saying, Il WILL NOT
STEAL A VICTORY"
If the Missouri Democracy can be
5eaten--and it can--in open and hon
orable battle, the victory is worthy of
celebration in song ana story, but to
overcome them by trick or artifice or
unfair means Of any kind, is not play
Ing the game as it should be played.

Europe. No wonder the faith not
founded on the rock is swaying to and
fro and wondering in the darkness
whether this be Gods world or the De-
wills.
Civilization after civilization has
gone down into the pit. But faith has
not died. 1t has always emerged with
clearer vision and more radiant hope.
So shall it yet again. We, too, we of
this modern world. may vanish into the
night like the empires of the past, and
leave not wrack behind of all our
busy, rushing life. But what of that?
This still is the faith of some of US,
that through the ages one eternal
purpose runs" and that truth and
right and love do now sit somewhere
