II was thus the couple mst for

ment that IL shortly TO be con-
summated by the union OF these
two ardent young people VINO
learned to love each other in the
shadow Of great danger In the
troubled times Of their native land
CAUGHT BY BRITISH.
From the time the young slri
became the intelligence officer OF
IN. fugitive, and through all tho
long months when he was on the
rim II was she who kept watch
ana ward over him, she who was
ou,ck to detect movements threat
.n,nx his safety. and prompt to
warn him and guide him to SAFER
hiding places.
Once she found II necessary TO

n A. for the death Of comrads
killed in an ambush.
1t 10 happened that in her dis
,,,,se she bore a strong resem-
blance to the youngster for whom
the patrol had been looking with
tn. object Of making him pay
for the death OF their oomrade'
and in spite of protests he" was
hound and was told that he was
going to be shot.
The position of Miss Herman was
then a desperate one. She could
only escape fate threatened by re-
vealing her identity. thus In all
probability betrayins the presence
of the chief in the neighborhood.
for at that time 1t had become
known that there was a romantic
attachment between the two and
that Collins owed many OF his
marvellous escapes to the young
girl.
READY TO FACE DEATH.
Without hesitation she decided
to face death rather than speak
out, but fortunately for her the
arrival of patrol Of regular
troops led to her reprieve. and
she was taken to the town. where
she ultimately disclosed her iden-
tity and satisfied the authorities
that she had had nothing to do
with the killing Of the Black and
Tan referred to.
Before disclosing her sex. how
ever, she had managed to secure
the passage of . message to Col
Inns, who got away from thu dis
trict before the usual search for
him was ordered by the author

Thus from the trials and troubles

Ireland, In shortly to marry Miss
Kitty Herman, . charming young
Irish girl. who has lately come into
prominence in Sim Fein circles
Whereby hangs q tale Of romancA.
Miss Herman II . native Of

came into prominence among the
adhsrents of Sim Fein It was un-
derstood that she was all but en-

strong opposition to ratification
Of the treaty. 10 that In securing
a triumph over this antagonist on
the ratification issue. Mick" was
duplicating the triumph al
ready made a. rival lover.
The meeting of Collins and his
future bride was romantic enough
for most people, for 1t took place
In the days when he was q fugi-
tive with q price on his head and
large parties Of troops and police
securing the country for him.
Late one night there came by
accident to the ears Of tho Sim
Fein chiefs in county Longford
information that made 1t clear that
the hiding place OF their leader
had been discovered. and at the
same time 1t was obvious that It
was useless trying to send . warn
ing in the usual way. for police
and military patrols were every
where in evidence, and all men
attempting to leave the town were
turned back.
It was then that o woman mes
senger was sought and Miss Kier-

would gladly risk the dangerous
journey into the darkness Of night

Fair and Impartial Redistricting %

The promise of a fair and impartial redistricting was no
more respected than the promise of economy. Instead of re-
districting on a population basis the Hyde administration re-
districted the State into judicial, Senatorial and Congress
ional districts upon the most notorious partisan basis that
could be conceived. Not content to let circuit judges of the state
serve out the terms to which tehy had been electde, the Leg
isature passed a bill, which, had it gone into effect, would
have removed seven circuit judges from the bench; left three
judicial circuits without a Judge and permitted all of these
places to have been filled by executive appointment.
When we consider the fact that the bill that was passed
would have set aside the expressed will of the majority of the
voters in thirty -nine counties Of the State, containing a pop
ulation of over 100000 people, we have some conception of
the magnitude of this despotc attempt to usurp the rights
of the people and set aside the verdict of ballots. Never was
there a more unholy thrust at the judiciary of this State, nor
a more contemplate attempt to make this branch of our Gov
eminent subservient to the executive.
But little less reprehensibe was the attempt to SO gerry
mander the State into con resional and senatorial districts
in such a way that it would have given to the Republicans
twelve congressional districts and twenty senatorial districts,
regardless of the way the majority of the people voted.

Think a Minute. Democrats

The Republican State Committee, Republican newspapers
and the Republican candidate for United States Senator
R. R. Brewster-are all working hand-in-glove to divide the
Democratic host Of Missouri into warning factions. Are you
going to let them do f2 Are you going to be their sucker
and take the cork under with the bait they are dangling be-
fore you?
They are working to defeat Reed. Why? Because they
recognize in him the strongest opponent in the United States
Senate against the big interests the Republican party repre-
sents.
Republican Senators voted to relieve p~rOfteers of the ex-
cess profits tax. Senator Reed voted to make them pay.
Republican Senators voted to tighten the load on the big
income taxpayers. Senator Reed voted against it.
Republican Senators voted for the Fordney-McCumber
Tariff Law, that will cost the American consumer over five
million dollars annually, Senator Reed voted against it.
Now, be frank and honest with yourself, Mr., Mrs. or
Miss Democrat, and answer this question: Isn't it better for
our party to be represented by one who is in hearty accord
witt what our party stands for on the great fundamental
principles Of taxation and tariff than to have one who is OPP
posed to these principles?

Here are some bills that we're passed by the last Legisla-
ture that tend to show to what extent the present a%dministra-
ton has gone in an effort to build up a great political machine.
These bills, together with a number of Others have been sub
mitted to a referendum vote and it is the duty of every voter
who does not want too much Capitalization of power to vote
against these measures.
One of them is an act creating an Office to be known as
the DEPARTMENT OF BUDGET, to be under the direction
and control of a Commissioner who is appointed by the Gov
ernor and who viii draw a salary of $5,OOOOO a year, together
with travelling and office expenses. He will also have an I'M
limited number of clerks, stenographers, accountants and
other help.
Another act seeks to create a department to be known
as the DEPARTMENT. OF LABOR, with a man at the head
of this department to be known as the Commissioner of La
Dor, who win be appointed by the Governor and viii draw a
salary to be fixed by the Governor. He win also have a num-
her of h~igh-priced employees under his control
Another act seeks to create a department to be known
as the DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE, with a SUI
pervisor of this department who will be appointed by the Gov
ernor at a salary of 100000 per year, together with trav-
cling and Office expenses, clerks, stenographers, etc.
Another act seeks to create a DEPARTMENT OF AGRI-
CULTURE that would be under the direction, control and
management of a Commissioner appointed by the Governor,
who would draw a salary named by the Governor. This de-
partment would, under the act passed, abolish the bipartisan
State Board of Agriculture that has functioned efficiently for
many years.
These are only a few of the number of bills that were
passed by the Hyde administration, that have as their Interior
aim and purpose, Government by Boards not directly respon-
sible to the people. They should all be defeated at the polls on
November z.
In order that the voter may get some idea of what it
would cost to run the Departments that the Republican adj
ministration has sought to consolidate and c~entralize in the
hands of one man, attention is called to the appropriation that
was made by the last legislature to support these various de-
partments. The appropriation for a period of only 1879
months was $1927, 10000. This would be at the rate of 49,,
4~Os,9OOyO0 for a biennial period, or almost one million dollars
more than it cost to do the same work under Democratic rule.
Don't overlook the consolidated program, the attempt to
throw out circuit Judges who were elected by the people; the
attempt to remove justices of the peace and constabes who
were chosen by the people the attempt to gerrymander the
State on a partisan instead Of a population basis. Vote mo"

Mr.. Brewster Then and Now

The fulsome words now being heaped upon Ex-President
Wilson by Mr.. Brewster are in striking contrast with his
statements about the great ex-president made few weeks
when Mr.. Brewster was seeking the Republican nomina
In a speech made in st. Louis July 18th, last, before 9
meeting of the Republican Women's Club of ST. Louis, MIR
Brewster is quoted in newspaper reports as saying:
Lie No. 2-*** do not mind much being sc-
cused of murder or highway robbery, but | do mind
the charge of having favored the League of Nations.
The truth about this matter is, that in the last Nat
ional campaign, when the League of Nations was the
principal issue. | spent 8 weeks at my won expense
campaigning for the Republican National and State
tickets. was one of the most o~utspoken and bitter
opponents the League of Nations had. So drastic was
my criticism of President Wilson and so bitter my
attacks upon the League that newspaper reporters
who travelled with Governor Hyde and myself told the
Governor that they felt / was entirely too drastic in
my criticism of the President.
"Iie No. is to the effect that during the war
said in speech that Wilson was a greater President
than Abraham Lincoln. No man who is not abso-
lutely devoid of sense or patriotism could make such
a statement. never at any time said anything that
remotely resembled this language, for in my own
opinion, Lincoln was the greatest man that ever walk
ed the earth, save One"
