THE KEARNS SYNDICATE IN MISSOURI.
Some of the leading journals of Missouri are
discussing the possibilities and probabilities of one
Hon. Richard Kerens being elected to the United
States Senate from that State. There are insinua
tions in some of the papers that the great rail
roads of that State, while ostensibly opposing his
candidacy, are really for him.
That all seems to have a natural sound in Utah.
There seems to be some charm connected with the
name of San Pedro & Salt Lake railroad. So far it.
is not much of a railroad. Some little grading has
been done in Nevada, a few miles have been built
at the Los Angeles end, but the prosecution, so far
as railroad building is concerned, has been limited
to less than twenty miles per year for the three
years, a rate which will require until 1944 to
complete the line to this city.
But Mr. Clark has seemed to do pretty well, so
has Mr. Thomas Kearns. Mr. Whittemore has
begun to acquire a residence in Nevada and why
should not Mr. Richard Kerens be making hay
while the sun shines in Missouri?
We have not heard whether Mr. Kerens has en
gaged the services of any church as yet to forward
his plans, but it is still early. The member of the
firm from Missouri is an expert in finance, and
while having full faith in the honor of his fellow
Missourians, it is a clear case that he is determined
never to be obliged to purchase any of them more
than once in a single campaign, no matter in what
church they may be communicants. Mr. Kerens
has many very splendid Senatorial attributes. He
is a shrewd, alert business man, a capable and
experienced politician; he adheres strictly to his
principles even when a good deal of principal is
required to carry them out; he knows the needs of
Missouri, one of the chiefest of which he believes is
her need of him for Senator; he believes, too, in
rewards and punishments and would make a ster
ling business Senator. There would be a contrast

between him and the stately, scholarly Cockrell,
or the impetuous, eloquent Vest; but old things
pass away, the forest of oak gives place to a forest
of pines, and Missouri is in the procession.
In one respect Mr. Kerens resembles Missouri's
greatest Senator. Benton wanted a railroad to con
nect the East and West and reveled in thought
over the glories which would follow its construc
tion. Mr. Kerens wants a railroad in the West and
dreams of the time when the road will, by free
passes, somewhat simplify and reduce the cost of
electing Senators.
The committee on fireworks for the Elks' con
vention might get some valuable suggestions from
one G. Sutherland.
THE FOUNTAINS OF ST PIERRE.
An account of St. Pierre after the great cata
clysm, says: "Amid all the desolation the foun
tains continue to play." The houses were all de
stroyed, every tree was blasted and half con
sumed; the beautiful foliage was all gone; the
bright-plumaged birds that had sung in the trees
were all extinct; the dreadful place was utterly an
nihilated and soundles, save the murmur of the
fountains that continued to play. All their outer
works had been smitten by the fiery gases and
fouled by the ashes and scoria that the explo
sions of the mountain had hurled upon the doomed
city, but the fountains continued to play as when
the happy children played around them and the
birds sang their love-songs in the trees above them.
Being fed from beneath the ground, the pipes that
supplied them escaped the catastrophe that smote
everything upon and above the earth's surface. It
was as though they were saved that pity might
shedier tears through them.
The account reminds one of an old man that is
sometimes seen on the streets of this city. He
totters rather than walks, every trace of comliness
has disappeared from him; his hands are gnarled

"Look Out
for the
Little Things
and you needn't worry about the big ones."
That is the Burlington idea.
Adherence to it has placed theBurlington in the
front rank of American railroads absolutely with
out a rival in point of good service. B
The Chicago Special leaving Denver at 4 p. m., the St. Louis WA
Special leaving at 3 p m and the Vestibuled Flyer leaving at 10 p. fjf
m., are offered as good examples of the Burlington idea. jH
