CITY TO PROTECT PROPERTY
Municipality Proposes to Prevent Sales
Under Bcayengar law Too Low.
WILL DEMAND FAIR PRICES ON ALL DEALS
Real Estate Mn Fear "that I Mess
Such Itepa Arc Taken Trans
action Mar' InoTe a
- Losing; One.
The city will taKe treasures to prevent
the sale of property for less than a fair
proportion of its value at the tax, sales
under the scavenger law, : beginning No
vember 16. It has been feared by real
estate men and others that If steps were
not taken by the city and county much of
the property would be sold for prices so
low as to make the deal a losing one.
Saturday afternoon Mayor Moores called
the councllmen together for a short con
ference with City Attorney Wright. It
was decided to adopt a resolution authoris
ing the appointment of an Individual to be
present at the sales, and in case the bid
ding did not go above a certain percentage,
of the valuation, to bid In the property
for the city. The law provides that this
course may be followed. The percentage
of value is to be determined by the coun
cil. It probably will range from DO to 76
per cent, according to the expressions at
the conference, and a scale may bo fixed
making the proportion loss on lots of small
value. Tax Commissioner Fleming has
been directed to prepare a list of all prop
erty to be sold, giving the 1904 assessment
valuation on each piece, dt property. This
will bo used as a basis from which to
calculate.
The resolution will be presented Tuesday

Two large audiences welcomed this mclO'
drama enthusiastically yesterday. It was
originally written by Hal Reid, whose name
Is now kept off the bills for some reason,
and had William McKlnley Involved in tho
cast. The late president, however, has been
cut out and a mere governor of Arkansas
suffices to grant his pardon. The play has
many critical situations worked out In un
expected ways and keeps the audience guess
ing all the time. The cast Is strong and
works In a live, ablebodled, healthy man
ner the treatment melodramas should al-
ways have by right. The scene Is laid In
that part of the country where the illicit
making of whisky Is esteemed no sin and
has to do with some very bad and some
very good people. Right triumphs and the
persons with the bad motives get It where
It is not at all pleasant to receive It.

ST. LOUIS STATE EXHIBITS
Report of Work of Securing Appropri
ations for Buildings No Passes
or Patronage I'aed.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10.-Charles M. Reeves,
chief of the department of domestic ex
ploitation, lias completed his report of the
legislative work of the World's fair for
submission to President Francis. " It shows
that the states of America have expended
about $4,000,000 on their buildings and ex
hibits at the exposition. The expenses of
carrying on this work aggregated over $40,
000, or a fraction over one-half of I per
cent Forty-four states, territories and
possessions are represented by buildings,
some of them having a number of buildings
devoted to various purposes.
Mr. Reeves began this work more than
three years ago In connection with his work
as secretary of the committee on state and
territorial exhibition.
In speaking of the work he said:
Not one penny of the money obtained
was corruptly expended in the accomplish
ment of these splendid results. Kvery cent
that was paid out is accounted for on
the books of tho department of domestic
exploitation, and a duplicate record Is kept
by the auditor of the Louisiana Purchase
exposition.
I am proud to say that what seems to
be a popular Impression that corruption Is
commoa in our legislative bodies is not
correct. Let It be said to the credit of
the American elective system and the
men who have held honorable positions in
our representative bodies r,at they are
honest and upright and that departures
from this Ideal are not only exceptions,
but very rare exceptions to the rule. In
spite of all we havo heard -to the con
trary In Missouri.
In only one etute out ef the fifty-one
states., territories and possessions having
buildings and exhibits on the exposition
were we approached with a corrupt propo
sition and made to me direct. A clique of
about seven men who declared that they
controlled the legislature of the state In
question, and .they demanded considera
tion for passing a bill appropriating money
for the state's participation in the fair.
This was not considered for a moment, and
the bill was defeated. We at once arranged
a private subscription plan, which worked
well, but the people, without a hint from
St. Louis, surmised the reasons for the fail
ure of the bill, and I have been told that
every one of the seven was defeated for re
nnmlnatlnn or re-election st the subsequent
frlmarles and elections. The next leglsla
ure made a rather liberal appropriation.
Few promises were made. Neither pat
mnage nor passes were held out to legis
latures as Inducements to them to support
our bills, and yet but three states wers
without representation when the exposition
opened Delaware. South Carolina and
Florida. A bill was passed by the. South
Carolina legislature of 1902, but representa
tion failed for other reasons. Florida has
since swung Into line with an exhibit.

"GOOD OLD TIMES" A HUMBUG
A Study of Actual Conditions tn
Former Times Destroys the -Glamour
of Arc,
"Good old times" Is a popular subject.
There probably were good old times and
there probably were bad old times. Oood
and bad were doubtless mixed In about the
same proportion then as now. If there Is
any difference there Is perhaps now more
good and less bad. The world has spells of
riotous living, extravagance and artificial
ity, but It has spasms of morality, reform
and economy, very much as the stock mar
ket has periods of Inflation and panic even
though the permanent trend of values is
higher.
Just as there are men who live so ex
tremely In the present that they have no
patience with the past, there are those who
quarrel with everything that is and laud
everything that was.
In the current Fortnightly Review a
writer Is so much dissatisfied with the
world generally and society specifically
that he would turn back the hands of the
clock to the days of Louis XVI. It may
be that the writer has as Intimate personal
acquaintance with society today as of the
-days of Louis XVI. ' it there Is some doubt
about this. He sa
"Ten thousand people In the days of
Louis XVI were housed under the roof at
Versailles during the royal fetes. Let us
assume that, take It all round, three ser
vants waited on each. What hostess or
host of today could make anything but &
hurly-burly out of over 2,000 guests?"'
For shame upon the hostess or host of
today who could not give a little dinner
party to 2,000 guests with 6,000 or 8,000 ser
vants to wait upon them I We have so de
cayed in the art of wholesalo hospitality
that a good many housewives would have
to borrow a few spoons, cups, plates and
chairs from the neighbors to entertain a
cozy, sociable little bunch of 2,000 guests
attended by 6,000 or 8,000 servants.
The magazine writer says "they were
the flower of an old and noble civilization."
A good deal of foolishness has been written
about this "old and noble civilization."

pine, and in unwise and unfair taxation.
The beneficiaries of the loot and their de
scendants refined themselves by soft living
and good food and called themselves cul
tured because they learned to play the lute,
j dance the minuet and wear a powdered
i wig.
i The Fortnightly Review writer becomes
positively Indignant at the American mil
lionaire who buys pictures, books and tap
estries. It is likely that some rich person
buy these things without proper apprecia
tion of them, but a very good way to learn
appreciation of them Is to own them. The
very fact that a man is willing to be ex
travagant for these things Indicates that
he suspects there Is something In them
somewhere or somehow.
It Is useless to berate the American mil
lionaire. He is here to stay. Every sane
American who can become a millionaire is
going to do,so. The average American mil
lionaire Is a good fellow. He may In some
of his types be a little loud In his clothes,
a little boisterous about the mouth or a
little strutty In his walk. He may smack
his lips at table and In rare Instances eat
with his knife, but he Is more of a man
than the pale, sappy, languid creature who,
because he had a hardworking grandpa,
never created a dollar's worth of value,
never Invented a machine, or a process,
never thought of a way to direct the ener
gies of other men, never dug for gold or
Iron never did anything but sit around
with the women, talk nice and look neat.
When a poor man by hustling makes a
million dollars It Is almost a certainty that
In addition to the factor of luck he has

Too Much Talk.
One day as a magpie had taken a seat
on a limb near the highway two travelers
came along and halted under the tree to
rest. They soon observed the bird, and,
never having seen one of its species be
fore, one of them called out:
"Behold the eagle! What a noble bird!"
"How beautiful! How grand!" added the
other.
Filled with conceit, the magpie began to
chatter her satisfaction at the words, but
she had scarcely opened her mouth when
one of the travelers exclaimed:
"What fools we are! I know from what
I have read that this bird Is only a com
mon magpie."
"And let her begone," added his friend, as
he picked up a atone and sent It whining
at her head.
A crow which had seen and heard all
without being noticed himself now
scratched his ear and murmured:
"If some folks would only keep their
