"A Barren Record.
tst. Louis Post-Dispatch.)


The present session of Congress,
which will expire in two weeks, will
leave behind barren record. 1t is
now the opinion at Washington that
revenue legislation that would at
least correct some of the blundering
which Kitchin's obstinacy wrote into
the wartime act cannot be passed.
1t has been predicted that many OF
the appropriation bills will have to go
over to the special session which MIR.
Harding had planned to convene in
April, but which he is now being
urged to call as early as March 15.
This is the Congress which Mr.
Harding, in his farewell senatorial ad-
dress, besought to be working ses-
sion. It has failed Mr.. Harding. Il
has failed the country. The reason
for the failure is obvious--lack o.
character. Insincerity oozes from it
every pore.
This Congress has squandered Tins
and energy in investigating the con
duct Of the war which should hay'
! been devoted to reconstruction. !

and the despair of our enemies. 1t
has sought to find dishonesty and in
competence and has run into facts of
splendid accomplishment. 1t has
listened to irresponsible tattle and
muckraked with wretched enthusiasm
ans mean expectation, but it has
foand no guilt.
The whole investigation program
has made plain the fact that the
codntry was fortunate in not having
the conduct of the war in the hands
of the present Congress-; for il it had
conducted the war with the incapacity
it has demonstrated in the matter of
reconstruction the present address OF
Wilhelm Hohenzollern would not be
Doom.
No more flagrsnt instance of con-
greseional insincerity can be found
than the hoax the present session
has attempted on the farmer. 1t is
apparent now that the emergency
tariff bill, which was to bring pros
perity to the farmer by increasing the
cost of living simultaneously with
widespread Industrial depression and
by making it still moro difficult for
other countries to buy our goods, was
never intended to pass. Possibly to
save it's face Congress may get this
| bill to the President, but if it does it
will present a measure requiring a
veto, which is precisely what Con-
gress wants.
The impression prevails at Wash
ington that the bill to regulate the
packing industry will probably pass,
for the reason that the farmers, who
are becoming restive and are de-
manding new leadership, must be ap-
peased. The farmer vote cannot be
too seriously affronted. So, for
political consideration, an expert
ment is to be made which is bound tc
lead us deeper into the morass oi
bureaucracy in which we are already
foundering.
/ For political consideration this Con
gress has done the things it ought
not to have done and has left undone
the things it ought to have done. /
has inflicted untold hardships upor
the American people, but the on'
man above all Others who must lool
upon this record with fear and mis-
giving is Warren Gamaliel Harding
For him the record of Congress is al
unhappy augury.

Miscegenation in Missouri?

missouri State Journal.)
1t has remained for Mr.. Dyott Of
Howell County, Republican House
leader, to offer the most pronounced
insult to the citizenship of Missouri
through the medium of bill present.
ed TO the legislature. This measure
in question strikes at the vitals of our
social system in Missouri and is at
variance with all Missouri ideals. 1t
proposes to make possible inter-
marriages of whites and persons of
less than one-eighth negro blood, in
the face of the well-known physical
fact that negro blood of any degree
may develop into more pronounced
racial characteristics in any succeed
ing generation. The Missouri law
heretofore has prohibited altogether
marriage between whites and persons
OF negro blood, whatever the degree.
House Bill 156, proposing modifica-
ton of the marriage laws of the state,
defines negroes by the use of the
phrase, "persons having one-eighth
part or more of negro blood" II
this bill should become law, through
the action of this Republican General
Assembly, with the approval of the
Governor of Missouri, our Republican
fellow citizens may find themselves
confronted with real issue in Mis-
souri,, which would be determined to
their humiliation and everlasting
disgrace.
IL is almost impossible that Mr.
Dyott or any Of bis colleagues-eve
Walther Hall Moore-will undertake
to defend this bill. Certainly, it will
find no favor with the masses of the
people. If there be white persons in
Missouri who Wish to intermarry with
persons of negro blood, of whatever
degree, let them go to some other
state where the purity of the white
race is less respected than it is ir
Missouri. There is no place in Mis-
| souri, for such by brids.

THE Baptist Home.)
Eggs will help. Let every Baptist
in Missouri who has hens give all the
eggs his or her hens lay on the last
Sunday in March, and the first, second,
third and fourth Sunday in April, five
Sundays in all. This is only five days
eggs out of three hundred and sixty
FIVE. Heretofore we have asked for
one Sundays eggs each year. This
offering goes far towards meeting the
running expenses of the Home for the
year. But we have a larger task this
year, and different from any we have
ever had or may ever have again.
We are building for the future. We
can afford to make the sacrifice, dear
friends, if indeed, it be sacrifice, for
the sake of providingan abiding place
for the aged, inirm, penniless and
helpless old people whose keep is in
trusted to us. "But if any provideth
not for his own, and especially his
own household, he hath denied the
faith, and is worse than an unbe-
lever"
In addition to the five Sundays
eggs, we are asking that every church
take cash offering and supplement
the egg offering Herewith. In some
churches the mem bers do not have
hens. The cash offering is their OPP
portunity to cooperate with US. In
every church there are some mem
bers who have no hens. They can
give money while others give eggs
Many who have hens will want tc
supplement their gift of eggs with q
little cash. Let there be given in
every church an opportunity for the
cash offering. Let this be done al
some wellattended meeting of the
church, and followed up by a com
mittee's canvass, il that seems de-
sirable. Or, let the matter be eel
forth before the congregation by the
pastor, or by some one else, il the
pastor is not present, and followed uI
by public offering or by persona
canvass, or in both ways. Do it il
whatever way seems best in you
/ church, but by all means, in SOM
way give the people an opportunit,
to make cash offering.

entertained at Fort Hill Church last
Tuesday evening when a history of
the Methodist Seminary and Fort
Hill Church was presented in the
form Of dialogued pageant, all very
impressive.
Some of the principal scenes repre-
senting the Founding of the School
by Rev. J. @. Bergman, Building of
Fort Hill Church, Meetings Of the
Trustees where the original church
subscription list was read, The Civil
War Period, The Women's Circle,
Destruction of the Church by soldiers,
Closing of the School, Rebuilding OF
the Church, Dedication Ceremonies,
and Re- opeuing of the School. These

interspersed with explanatory notes,
the use OF quaint furniture tprop-
erty of former Arcsdians) and the
characters who personated the found
ers and prominent pioneer citizens
big, little, old and young, arrayed in
civil war costumes depicted all the
past Of these two institutions from
1846 to 1870 in an interesting and
pleasing manner.
The scenes closed with "Rem-
iniscenses of the Past" told in story
form and pleasing scene, "Forget-
me-nots for Remembrance" by the
Sunday School pupils.
All participants in this sacred his
torie sketch gave excellent renditions
Space forbids personal mention but
the children did exceptionally well.
This was given by the Arcadians af
covenant to perpetuate Fort Hill
\ Chnrch on which needy and neces-
Isary repairs will soon be made. Many
fvolunteers are expected to enroll or
the subscription list. This is 8 mis-
1 sionary movement as without church
many children in and near Arcadia
would be reared without the advant-
age of Sunday School.
This occasion was the one hundred
and eleventh anniversary birthday o.
Jerome @. Bergman, to whom thi'
sketch was dedicated. x.

Editor Iron County Register see
by your paper of the 18th that the
Village Knocker has dropped his

sent the statement of mine that he
knows nothing, absolutely nothing, OF
the overhead expenses of my bakery
and of what it costs me to produce a
loaf of bread. Irepeat the statement
with emphasis. He states that the
cost OF every Ingredient, as we'll as
the cost OF baking loaf of bread, is
accessible to him as it Is to me. |
agree with him that the cost of every
ingredient is accessible to him as to
me. That is, if he knows the quality
of the ingredients am using; for e2-
ample; he knows not whether | am
using high grade first patent -four of
S11.0O value, or low grade second
clear of So 90 value. He knows not
whether I am using one pound of
yeast per barrel or twanty. He
knows not if am using s pounds OF
shortening per 100 loaves or fifty
pounds per hundred. He knows
nothing Of the fuel cost, OF firing my
bake oven day by day. His kitchen
range is no comparison. He knows
nothing of the expense Of running
my dough mixer, nor the cost of re-
pairs to the machine or engine used
TO propel same. His kitchen mixing
bowl is no comparison. He knows
nothing of the wages pay a. baker,
q driver, bakers helper or a lady
bread wrapper or store clerk.
He also says that all the st. Louis
bakers deliver their bread. Now
seven years Of my life were spent
working in various bakeries OF st

he says they make two deliveries tc
