DEATH OF GEORGE KING.
The death of George King was a
sad blow to his many friends. Follow
ing a brief Illness he passed away last
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. A
wife, mother, father, four sisters and
five brothers survive him. The fun
eral was held from the Vine Street
Baptist church last Tuesday evening.
Rev. Morris officiated. The remains
were sent to Weston, Mo., his old
home. Lena Busch, Mrs. Willie
Thomas, Minnie Moss, Marie Arling

Weathers and Lewis Woods, accom
panied the remains. The pallbearers
were James Holllns, Jas. Henry, Wm.
Maupin, Tom Mathews, Henry Birch

DOWN THE PIKE.
The Grand will have a return of
Johnny and Emma Ray In their musi
cal satire, "Down the Pike." Johnnyj
as the despotic janitor or a New York
apartment house, has a role particu
larly well suited to his style of come
dy. The merriment runs through two
acts, the first of which is placed in
New Vork and the second along the
famous pike of the World's fair In St.
liouis. The Rays now are busy dodg
ing memories of "A Hot Old Time,"
yet the Rays should not turn their
backs toward the absurd farce which
did them years of good service.
A new musical comedy the best
that ever came "Down the Pike."

Arrogance and Impudence.

EDITOR SATISFIED WITH HAND.
Why Hs Proposes to Stand Pat on a
Protection Ace Full.
A bright and brainy Missouri editor
who shapes the policy of the Central
Missouri Republican of Poonesvllle.
and shapes It well Indeed, displays a
clear comprehension of the doctrine
and- workings of protection, along
with an expert familiarity with the
elementary principles of the game of
poker, In a recent article headed. "We
Stand Tat." This entertaining writer
Is not without high authority nd
eminent sanction in Ms use of the
euphemistic technology of the great
American game. For example we find
that In his speech at the dinner given
to the Russian peace envoys at the
Metropolitan club In New York on
the evening of Sept. 7. President Hart
ley of Yale college, tapred the same
fonntnln when he said:
"The great deeds of history In the
past In whlrh Russia and America
have been associated have hern ex
pressed much better than I could put
them. I wish to express my personal
appreciation of Mr. Wltte and Mr.
Rosen, who have brought things to a
definite conclusion.
"Their task was difficult, their suc
cess surprising. It was pt rhaps best
summed up In the words of a man on
the street who remarked: 'I admire
above everything else n man who
dares call on n pair of two spots.' The
remark was not quile true, for Rus
sia had at Portsmouth at least a pair
of kings, but It takes nerve to call
when one's adversary has all the evi
dence of holding a straight flush.
"We admire the man who can see
that that straight flush is tinged with
the suspicion of n bobtail."
While somewhat bewildered with
the sequence of scl olustic slmnes em
braced In the allusiens to the "call on
a pair of two spots." "a pair of kings."
"holding n straight flush." and "the
suspicion of a bobtail." we fo .l bound
to conclude that the ds!' igr. shed
educator knew all about '-m and
used them advisedly.
We Infer similarly as to Mis
souri man's unflinching determination
to "stand pat" on "an are full." Ac.
cording to information from rel.nble
Bources we are convinced that an ace
full Is a good hand to stand pat on.
and that none but a very foolish man
would think of asking for more cards
when In possession of such a collec
tion dealt to him (he first time around.
To the fortunate holder or three aces
and a pair of tens right off the reel
there could be, as we are advised,
no temptation to discard nnu dally
with the draw. Serene eomplai ency
and entire content would be his. what
time the other gentlemen were Indi
cating to the dealer their require
ments, t'nder such circumstances
none but a raw amateur, or chump,
so to speak, would do otherwise than
stand pat.
So It Is with the editor of the Cen
tral Missouri Republican. Being
neither an amateur nor a chunp ho
positively and peremptorily stands
pat nn the protection see full. This
Is how he rates his hand:
Ace of clubs: High wages In all
Industries.
Ace of diamonds: The great home
market.
Ace of spades: Increasing domestic
and export trade.
Ten of diamonds: Savlncs hunk de
posits of over $.t.(ioo.fHiii,ii(i(i.
Ten of hearts: Sound money and
plenty of It; unlimited credit; busi
ness stability.
Holding such cards as these the
Boorevllle editor may well exclaim:
"We stand pat on the Republican
protective tariff. It's n full hand,
dealt us by old Nelson Mingley, God
bless him! And It's good horse sense
In polities, as It Is In poker, to siand
pat on a full hand. .
"We are standing p-it and playing
these cards for a country unsurpassed
for prosperity. Intelllgmrp and wealth
by any country In the world; for a
people free, happy. prorr sslve and In
dependent, enjoying a civilization
ahead of any ever known before: for
a future brighter and belter thnn man
ever dreamed of.
"'Standing pat?' Yon bet we nre."
Reciprocity and Trusts.
"Reciprocity menus you patronize
me and I will palroni'e vin. How
much better than the selfish t iniiple
of a high protective tariff fostering
trusts." Lincoln (111.) Courier.
But suppose the other (!',( w has
nothing to sell except thine which
you are making for yonte)f In abun
dant quantities. Would you buy things
you did not want Jn-1 for ti e sake of
patronizing the other fellow? Of
course you wouldn't. You'd lie a fool
If you did. As to trusts. th-y flourish
as well without as with a protective
tariff. Free trade Great Tlrllnln has a
large number of trusts. The biggest
trust In the world. Sis inlaid fil. has
no tariff protection. lleelpioclfy
would help the trusts, not hurt them.
Our only existing reciprocity dicker,
that, with Cuba, Is midline many mill
ions of dollars to the already swollen
profits of the sugar trust and the to
bacco and cigar trust.
No Foesiliiation.
The New York Sun wastes words
In using a column and a quarter to
argue for "tariff stability, hut no fos
slllxation." Nobody Is asking for tar
iff fosslllzallon. What the producing
Interests Including American labor
ask Is that .cranks, reformers and
scheming politicians shall not be per
mitted to play monkey tricks with a
tariff that Is doing for the conn try far
more good than a "reformed'' tariff
would be likely to do. Better stand
pat for what we know Is good than
take chances on the sort of patch
J work tariff that the ''reformers" have
I always cursed the country with.
