HUGHES - FAIRBANKS VICTORY ASSURED Conservative forcasts give Missouri's electoral vote to Hughes, with 7 Congressmen and G.O.P. control of the lower house of the next Assembly The Sun Goes to 36 States and Canada. Are Your Relatives and Friends Getting It? VOLUME IX. NUMBER 9. HUGHES HUGHES - FA VICTORY A Lamm and Sweep Mi Conservative forcasts give vote to Hughes, with and G.O.P. contro- er house of the Assemb As the end approaches, of one of the most remarkable campaigns in the political history of Missouri, the outlook for Republican success looms most satisfactorily to those who have been charged with the responsibility for its management. Huckriede Predicts Republican Success. Judge T. K. Hukrie, chairman of the Republican State Committee, who has been in personal charge of the management of the campaign, at the committee headquarters, in the International Life building, at 8th and Chestnut streets, St. Louis, gave out the following forecast of probable results of the election in the state: "It is my opinion, based upon reliable and authentic information from all parts of the state, that Judge Lamm and the entire state ticket will come to St. Louis with a majority from the interior counties of the state, and if the City of St. Louis meets the expectations of the local management of the campaign, the Republican state ticket will be elected by at least 30,000 majority." "Unless all political signs fall, Missouri will give its electoral vote to Hughes and Fairbanks. Indications also point to the certain election of at least seven Republican congressmen and enough Republican representatives to control the lower house of the next General Assembly." "The people of Missouri have never shown such enthusiasm as has been manifested in the present state campaign. Overwhelming crowds have greeted Judge Lamm everywhere. The people are thoroughly aroused throughout the state and everywhere, the Republican candidates meet an enthusiastic reception. "Advices from reliable sources in the East presage an overwhelming victory for the National Republican ticket, and I confidently look forward to a return of the Republican party to power in the nation and the dawn of a new era of prosperity." Crouse Says Hughes Will Carry State Crouse Says Hughes Will Carry State H. P. Crouse, head of the publicity department of the Republican State Committee, says: "I believe that the American people, having had another serious lesson on the result of a low tariff in the impovtitvism of the people previous to the resumption of partial protection under the war conditions, are going to overwhelmingly return the Republican party to power and opportunity in the national government. I confidently expect that Missouri will contribute its electoral vote to this desirable result and will other wise permanently throw off the yoke of mossbackism and bourbonism by electing Walter S. Dicked to the United States Senate and Judge Lamm to the governorship. The election of the Republican state ticket and a majority of Republican congressmen will follow naturally." DePriest Says Missouri is for Hughes Oscar DePriest, a Negro member of the Board of Aldermen of Chicago, who has been touring western Missouri under the direction of the Republican National Committee, in a speech last week before a conference of 200 Ngro Republican workers, gave it as his opinion that Hughes will capture the electoral vote of Missouri and that the entire state ticket will be elected. He said sentiment in the state is overwhelmingly in favor of Walter S. Dickey for the United States Senate, and that Senator Jim Reed, whose Negro-baiting activities in the 63d Congress earned him the ill-will of every Negro in the United States, will be ignominiously defeated in Jackson County, where the Negro voters are thoroughly organized and making a special fight against him. Republicans Reunited in Missouri One of the results of present campaign has been the wiping out of all factional differences among the Republicans, who are now reunited and working harmoniously for party success in the state. Practically all of the Progressives have realigned themselves with the Republican party and many Democrats, disgusted with the Major administration have declared their purpose to vote for the Republican candidates at this election. That Missouri under normal conditions is a Republican state has been clearly demonstrated in recent years. Republican candidates carried the state in 1904 by pluralities ranging The Kansas City Sun from 5000 to 25,000, and again in 1906, when Taft received the electoral vote of the state and Hadley was elected governor by a plurality of 16,000. Republicans won again in 1910, when a supreme judge, railroad commissioner and superintendent of public schools were elected. With the ranks of the party reunited and with such candidates as Charles E. Hughes, Judge Henry Lamm and Walter S. Dickey leading the ticket, the Republicans ought to win the state by a record breaking majority. St. Louis Republicans United. Voters out in the state who have been told that the Republicans in St. Louis are divided; that the German Republicans, who form an important part of the party strength in the city were planning to knife Hughes at the polls, would have been disabused of that idea if they had attended the opening meeting of the state campaign at the Odeon, when the crowd filled that immense hall and Hilbern hall half a block away, and still overflowed into the streets in such vast throngs that traffic was blocked. The Republicans of St. Louis are not only united, but enthusiastic in their support of both the national and state tickets. The Germans of St. Louis have always been loyal to the Republican party, and there are no reasons why they should be displeased with Hughes, but on the contrary there are many reasons why they should be opposed to Wilson, them they have frequently charged with being strongly pro-British in his sympathies. The German Catholics, most of whom are Democrats, are strong in their resentment against Wilson because of his refusal to protect Americans from outrage in Mexico. BEWARE THE MODERN JUDAS ISCARIOT. Judas Iscariot betrayed the Son of God with a kiss for thirty pieces of silver. Let the Negro voter at this election beware the modern Judas Iscariot. In this election campaign there are many of our race who are emulating the example of Judas. They will come to you with the coveted blood money jingling in their pockets, and with pleasant smiles and honeyed words, seek to seduce you into taking the fatal step that will enable them to betray you into the hands of your most deadly enemy. Thousands of Negro voters were seduced four years ago by leading men of our own race to vote for Woodrow Wilson for president. They made the most alluring promises of rich rewards that would come to htm from the president if he was elected. We all know to our sorrow, the result of the deal. Both the innocent victim and the betrayer were betrayed by President Wilson, who has become famous for his broken pledges. No occupant of the White House was ever so false to all American ideals. No president before Wilson ever stooped to the level of a Negro balter. No other president ever debased that high office by putting the stamp of official approval upon the meanest and lowest of human passions, race hatred, by introducing the practice of segregation in the departments of the government to insult, humiliate and brand as inferior, the employee of the government, of the Negro race. Wilson has nothing but the utmost contempt for every member of the Negro race, but he is not too proud to ask for votes from those whom he has so signally wronged. He believes and has always believed in the doctrine that, "the Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect." But in his hypocritical self-righteousness he acquits himself of any wrong doing. He acted in accordance with the ideals of the slave holding regime, under which he was born and nurtured. Wilson believes that his persecution and elimination of the Negro accords with the popular sentiment of the day. Wilson is so saturated with race prejudice that he not only approves of his own reprisals against the race, but has deliberately inspired the heads of every arm of the government service to follow his example, and we may look for much worse persecution of the same kind if he is re-elected. Early in his present administration, when a protest went to Washington against the unjust discrimination made in the Postoffice Department in the promotion of Negro clerks, the reply KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1916. came in unmistakable language to the effect that. "Not only would the promotion of Negroes to position where they would be the official superiors of white men, be discontinued, but that henceforth the policy of the administration would be to decrease the number of Negroes in the service." This means the gradual elimination of the Negro from the postal service. Four years more of Wilson will mean the complete destruction of all the rights the Negro now has. Bills were introduced during the last congress by Democrats to strip the Negro bare of his rights, and rest assured that they will be revived and passed if the Democrats are returned to power. Beware of Gift-Bearing Greeks. Let the Negro voters "fear of Greeks bearing gifts." The betrayer makes his approach in many forms. One of the most seductive forms of approach is the gift in the form of "easy money." Unless you are very firm you may fall a victim to this bait. Don't bt deceived by flattering promises and easy money, by selling your birthright for a mess of pottage. It may look easy to you to take some of this easy money to work for a (friendly) Democrat without sacrificing your principles, but thousands of the most intelligent men lose their vote at every general election by scratching their ballots. The Negro voter has too much at stake to take the slightest chance with his ballot at this election. Scratching a ballot is dangerous work. Party principles are more important at this election than men. Take no such chance. A straight ballot is easily counted and gives no excuse for being rejected. HUGHES IS JUST TO THE NEGRO Charles Evans Hughes has always been just and friendly in his attitude toward the Negro. His actions as governor of New York and associate justice of the United States supreme court have always been in accord with the traditions and policies of the Republican party. He has been bold and outspoken in his decisions as a supreme court judge, and the Negro has received more favorable decisions from that tribunal since he has been on the bench, than during the previous fifty years. The Negro's cause was in safe hands when he was on the supreme bench and the interests of the Negro race will be in same in his hands as president. The election of Hughes and Fairbanks will mean the restoration to the Negro of all of which Wilson and his associates have robbed him in the last four years, and give him an equal opportunity with other classes of citizens in the struggle for advancement. In the celebrated peonage case of Lonzo Bailey, Justice Hughes wrote a decision in which he interpreted to thirteenth amendment as, "A charter of universal civil liberty for all persons, of whatever race, color or estate, intended to abolish slavery of whatever name or form, and all its badges and incidents; to render impossible any state of bondage, to make labor free, by prohibiting involuntary servitude. In any emergency Hughes as President could be relied upon to act with a high and noble purpose and decide justly, if our interests are at stake. He would not be controlled by any kind of prejudice, but would consider and weigh the evidence without regard to the race or color of the parties involved. As Negroes we ask no more than justice, and this we are sure of under an administration presided over by Charles Evans Hughes. It is up to every Negro voter to decide for himself whether he would prefer to have Hughes, who will protect his rights or Wilson, who will destroy them, as President for the next four years.

KANSAS CITY'S THREE NEW PRINCIPALS BECOME ADJUSTED TO NEW ENVIROMENTS Teachers in Hearty Co-operation and Pupils Show Benefit of Strict Discipline Mr. Cox is a graduate of Talladega College in the state of Alabama, and of Howard University, Washington, D.C., receiving the A. B., and Ed. B. degrees from the latter institution in the class of 1910. Immediately after graduating from Howard University, Mr. Cox was appointed to principalship of the Douglass High School, Columbia, Missouri, which position he filled with ability and distinction until he resigned, last July, to accept the principalship of the Wendell Phillips. THE BEST OF THE WORLD PROF. HENLEY L. COX, Principal Wendell Phillips School. He comes highly recommended, and with a splendid record for successful school work in Columbia. The board of education and the superintendent of the Columbia schools say that Mr. Cox is by far the best school man they ever had in their colored schools. The State University, whose high school inspector frequently checked up the work and progress of the Columbia schools, reports "that for organization, management and teaching ability Mr. Cox is not surpassed. He has cer-Prof. Thompkins is one of the few colored teachers of Kansas City school's system who finished here and after rounding out his education succeeded in being appointed a principal. He finished the ward school in Kansas City in 1883, attended the high school at Lawrence, and in 1901 was graduated with A. B. degree from Kansas University of the same city. After three years as principal in Oskalosa, Kansas, where he rendered most satisfactory services, he was elected principal of the Bruce school in Kansas City, Kansas. He was promoted after two years at that school to the principalship of the Dunbar school on North Sixth street. Here Mr. Thompkins served for seven years until he received his appointment to the Douglass principalship. When called upon a few days ago for an interview, he was very reticent about talking about himself, saying that if he did anything worth while "the people will know, and if I don't they will soon find out." But about his work, he was enthusiastic. He PROF. M. H. THOMPKINS, Principal Douglass School. told us that he had already held one community meeting, which was very largely attended by the parents. This, he said, forebode a most successful cooperation between his teachers and the parents. His plans include a deal of personal work that will extend beyond the class rooms. Prof. Thompkins was also very much elated over the enrollment of night school pupils, most of them being grown-ups who show an inclination toward industrial-studies. He has his eyes wide open, and we found the pupils orderly, his teachers at tainly given this community a front rank school." Bringing into his new field a broad and thorough training, a large experience and a successful record as a school principal, Mr. Cox is bound to succeed. Although entirely new in the Kansas City schools, he has organized his forces along progressive lines and is pushing ahead. Hard work, high standards of teaching and scholarship and good discipline are his slogans, and he is making every w h t s c e a o w w s h h n l o v day's work count in that direction. Mr. Cox has the c-operation and respect of his seventeen teachers and seven hundred and fifty-nine pupils, and is endeavoring to give to the community his best service. He has made survey of the work in his school district and has outlined a program of work for the improvement of the school and community and solicits the support and so-operation of the patrons and citizens in the work which he hopes to accomplish. tentive to their duties, and everything moving in a methodical manner that presages to the parents of that district a most successful year for their children. Prof. Harrison comes to us well recommended from Independence, Mo., where he has been principal for the last 14 years. There he built up an enviable reputation and it was his good work that recommended him to the school authorities of Kansas City. Mr. Harrison possesses peculiar ability, besides being a splendid school man from an intellectual point, he is also able to and has taught Manual Training and Domestic Science. Some of the furniture from the cabinet department of the Young School of In dependence may be seen in his office at the Attucks. He is a graduate of Lincoln Institute, Valedictorian of Class of 1900. Won four medals for oratory and scholarship; delivered three orations before the legislature of Missouri. And PROF. W. H. HARRISON Principal Attucks School, was the representative of Lincoln Institute to the World's Fair in 1904, delivering his famous oration, "Missouri," to thousands of hearers in Festival Hall. Attucks is moving along nicely under his leadership, and the pupils and teachers have taken on new life. The enrollment, above 600, is being cared for by only eleven (11) teachers. Mr. Harrison keeps in close touch with the work of teachers and pupils. His pupils are encouraged to love school and never get the habit of loafing on the streets. Many of them Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter have adopted this motto: "Seldom tardy and never absent." Some idea of the esteem in which Prof. Harrison is held in Independence, may be gleaned from a statement in one of the evening papers commenting upon his resignation: "The vacancy caused by the resignation of Prin. Harrison of the Young School will perhaps be harder to fill than any other position in the entire school system." EDITORIAL HOTSHOTS. The Negro who casts his vote for the Democratic ticket in this election commits political suicide. A vote for Hughes, Lamm and Dickey is a vote for the highest American ideals—liberty, justice and equality. A vote for Wilson, Gardner and Reed is a vote for the ideals of the ex-slaveholder—race prejudice, segregation and elimination of the Negro. The Democratic party is the party that upheld slavery; the party that tried to assassinate the government; that segregated the Negro, and if given another chance will disfranchise the Negro. President Wilson told the Negroes who supported him four years ago that if they didn't like the way his administration was treating them and thought they had made a mistake in supporting him they would have a chance to correct their mistake at the election in 1916. Some of the leaders are taking him at his word, and are out making speeches against him and working for the election of Hughes. Wilson fooled a lot of people into voting for him four years ago by his smooth talk and false promises, but he can't fool anybody this time. He has deceived everybody and pleased nobody, not even himself, by his false promises and hypocritical pretenses. Senator Jim Reed is the arch enemy of the Negro in the Senate. He is worse than Ben Tillman and Jas. K. Vardaman. Every Negro voter in the state ought to work and vote to defeat him ignominously. The Negro voters of Jackson county ought to pile up an avalanche of votes for Walter S. Dickey, the Negro's friend, who will make a United States Senator that every citizen in the state can be proud of. They ought to bury Reed so deep that he will never be resurrected again in politics. Wilson does not expect the Negro vote this time, but if he gets it he will have more contempt for those who vote for him, because he will realize that they have no self-respect. No one can respect a man who does not respect himself. A vote for Gardner will be a vote to diminish Judge Lamm's majority. The Negroes who are flirting with local Democrats are indifferent to their own interests and to those f the race. Wilson is not to be trusted. He has deceived his best friends. The people of his own state have turned against him. His closest friend, who nominated him for president in 1912 aid in 1916, was defeated in the New Jersey primaries by a two-thirds vote for United States. The Republicans cast six times as many votes in the recent primaries in that state as the Democrats. This means that Wilson will be ignominiously defeated in his own state. In the state campaign for the governorship Judge Lamm is making Co. Gardner look like an amateur. Lamm has silenced all of Gardner's guns and the St. Louis coffinmaker has nothing left to recommend him but his generous distribution of campaign funds. Don't sell your birthright for a mess of pottage by flirting with Democrats at this election. Vote for the party of freedom, franchise and progress. Vote against Wilson and the party of Slavery, segregation and disfranchisement. "Lest you forget, remember yet, Abe Lincoln set you free." The Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea."

The voters of Missouri should investigate the record of the candidates for Governor. They should know if these candidates have honestly performed the duties of citizenship in the past and if they have borne their share of the public burden in the form of taxation. We submit for the consideration of the voters of Missouri two affidavits: Mr. Taxpayer, the above hits you. How do you like the comparison? The taxes somebody else dodges you help to pay, especially if you own land, which never escapes taxation. The Governor of Missouri is a member of the State Board of Equalization. Is a wholesale personal tax dodger fitted for this place? Millions of dollars of personal property escapes taxation in Missouri every year. This puts the tax burden on the land, which means Single Tax. The personal tax dodger is a menace to the state. Will you elect one as Governor? Candidate Gardner's BOND Affidavit IN FEBRUARY, 1913.

THE COFFIN TRUST A Prominent Linn County Democrat Asks His Party to Oppose Gardner. A Prominent Linn County Democrat Asks His Party to Oppose Gardner. George W. Bailey, a well-known Democrat of Brookfield, while discussing the November election and the various candidates, said: "There has never been in the history of Missouri Democracy the time when the voter had as 'arduous' duty to perform as he will have at the next November election, for he has so many things to consider if he be a consistent, law-abiding citizen. He must remember that Democracy has always stood against trusts, and the anti-trust plank has been considered the strongest plank in the platform, but in reviewing the candidates he is confronted with a new deal on the very start, for he finds at the head of his ticket the head of a coffin trust—the most infamous of all trusts. "During the last campaign one of our Democratic orators in his speech-making tour of the state said: 'There is an octopus throttling the throats of our people in the way of a coffin trust which has grown rich by its tolls taken from the poor people of the state wherever death has entered a home.' This distinguished Democratic orator doubtless never dreamed he would in the short space of two years be called upon to defend the head of a coffin trust, the candidate for Governor, whose friends boast of the amount of money spent to secure his nomination. We wonder if death has OPEN THE BOOKS. "I if I am elected Governor of this state the first thing I will demand under and by authority of the law is a searching investigation of the state penitentiary from cellar to garret. "I assure you of one thing: If I am elected any responsible committee of men or women may inspect every nook and cranny of the penitentiary, and their report upon conditions, if unfavorable, will receive serious consideration."—Judge Henry Lamm.

CANADIAN IMPORTS Some Facts of Great Interest to the Farmers of Missouri. Imports from Canada to the United States during our fiscal year 1916 were 28 per cent greater than for 1915 and 78 per cent greater than during the last fiscal year under the Republican tariff law. This notwithstanding the fact that Canada's exports to Great Britain during the Canadian fiscal year 1915-16 were more than double those of the two previous fiscal years. For the 12 months ending with June, 1916, imports from Canada amounted to $204,000,000, or $17,000,000 a month. For the same period of 1915 we imported from Canada $159,570,000 worth of goods, or $13,297,000 a month, and for 1913 we imported $120,570,000 worth, or $10,047,000 a month. The Canadian Department of Trade and Commerce reports that the total exports of Canada to Great Britain for the Canadian fiscal year 1915-16 were valued at $452,000,000, compared with $187,000,000 the year before. Had it not been for the war these exports, with the aid of the Underwood free trade bill, would have been dumped in this country. Imports under the Underwood free trade bill and since the outbreak of the European war are larger than ever known in American history. These imports will largely increase when the war ends, and the need of protection was never greater. NOT READY FOR THE UNDER- TAKER. Mr. Gardner, the Millionaire Coffin Maker and Democratic candidate for Governor, bases his claims on the ground that he is a business man and could give Missouri a business administration. Mr. Gardner's business experience has been in supplying the needs of the dead. What Missouri needs is one who can supply the needs of the living Supplement to the Sun, Kansas City, Mo., Saturday, October 28, 1916. HENRY LAMM. Given by Dr. Clayton Keith Why Young Men Should Support Charles E. Hughes. Given by Dr. Clayton Keith Why Young Men Should Support Charles E. Hughes. Young men who are undecided as to how they shall cast their first ballot for President will welcome a word of advice. The next four years of American history will be affected as the voter thinks and acts now. If we mistake the cause of America's good fortune for the past two years we have lean and difficult years just ahead of us. To prevent them from being lean and difficult it is necessary that the voters do some thinking just now. If we try to go through the next four years in the fashion we have gone through the last four we will suffer, and that severely. To avoid that, let us think on the following as reasons for the election of Charles E. Hughes to the presidency: 1. Because he stands for protection of our home industries. This secures labor for our workingmen. The past 100 years amply demonstrates that protection has uniformly brought blessings to our people. Patrick Henry was right—the safest rule is to judge the future by the past. In 1892, under Harrison's Republican administration, the per capita was $24.44. Under Cleveland and free trade it declined in 1896 to $21.10 per capita. But in 1897 McKinley, the Republican, came in, and behold! In 1900 the per capita was $26.73, an increase in three years of $5.68 for every man, woman and child of the 75,000,000 of our people. We have just passed through two sheltered years. Our people have not had to meet competition, because our competitors have been too busy killing each other. When this stops the protection which has guarded us for 26 months will be down and we will be pulled into a world of competition again, against all the nations of the world. Whether prepared or unprepared, we will have to meet it. Mr. Hughes stands for the kind of a tariff that will hold us safe in any emergency. 2. The close of the European war will result in untold injury to our commercial, agricultural and business interests unless legislation is adopted preventing the dumping of foreign manufactured goods into our markets. Mr. Hughes stands for such a law. 3. The policy of the present administration with regard to Mexico has been indifferent, unstable and unsatisfactory. Mr. Hughes in his campaign foreshadows his policy. It would mean stability, determination and fair treatment toward Mexico. We have but to refer to his career as Governor of THE WILSON BRAND OF PEACE. Senator Reed, in an address recently delivered in St. Louis, after praising the Wilson administration for maintaining peace, dramatically declared that there were "no widows' walling, no mothers' sighs in the nation." These remarks will sound strange to the widows, mothers and families of the hundreds of Americans who have been murdered in Mexico under the "peace" which Mr. Wilson has maintained, and will seem strange to the families of our soldiers who were massacred at Carrizal a short time ago. The "peace" which Mr. Wilson has maintained with Mexico has cost more American blood and more American treasure than the war we carried on with Spain. When the war with Spain was over it was over, while the "peace" with Mexico still rages in all its fury. New York during two terms in vindication of this promise. 4. Our attitude toward the belligerent nations of Europe has not been fair. Hundreds and thousands of our American citizens have been alienated by the vacillating course of our present administration. Mr. Hughes stands for a fair and square dealing with each of the countries of Europe in the present war. 5. We have, through the indifferent, hesitating and vacillating attitude of the present administration, lost our standing as a nation of consequence among the peoples of the world. In order to restore our country to lost prestige, we must tighten up our government. Get out from under the control of a party which does not believe in a strong and efficient government as did Lincoln, and Garfield, and McKinley. Mr. Hughes would give us an administration that would restore lost confidence and restore us to our former position among the nations of the world. 6. The present administration has failed to redeem its promise—the main issue in the campaign of 1912—to reduce the high cost of living. And the laboring man will continue to look in vain for relief unless he decides to go back to prosperity and casts his ballot accordingly. Mr. Hughes, if elected, as he should and will be, will give us a determined, straightforward, honest, intelligent administration which will restore confidence among our own people, gain the respect of foreign nations and result in general business prosperity.

Under the Payne-Aldrich protective tariff, a tariff of 25 cents a bushel was maintained on wheat, while under the Underwood free trade bill wheat is on the free list. The farmer is interested to know how this affected his market, and it can best be seen by comparing the imports under the two bills when conditions were normal and before the European war commenced. In July of 1913, under protection, 4,618 bushels of wheat were imported, while in July, 1914, under free trade, 45,159 bushels of wheat were imported. In the first seven months of 1913, under protection, 270,987 bushels of wheat were imported, while for the first seven months of 1914, under free trade, 1,526,962 bushels of wheat were imported. This shows how the Underwood bill affected the product of the farmer just before the war, when it was meeting the conditions for which it was framed. These increased imports are especially significant when it is remembered that in the year 1914 the largest wheat crop then known was harvested in this country. If the farmer wants the tariff removed from his product and permit all nations to dump their products into this country free, let him vote to return Jim Reed to the United States Senate. But if he wants a protective tariff on his products and on the product of the factory and thereby keep labor employed let him send Walter S. Dickey to the United States Senate and a Republican Congressman from his district. SEEING THINGS. The staff correspondent of the St. Louis Republic, in his report of a Democratic meeting held in Caldwell County, said that 900 Progressives were present and half of them came forward and pledged themselves to support the Democratic ticket this year. In the recent primary 10 Progressive votes were cast in Caldwell County. The staff correspondent of the Republic had evidently received one or more of Col. Gardner's celebrated canes and had consumed their contents.

Louis Coffin Co., Owned by the Democratic Candidate. Following are conditions prevailing at plant of the St. Louis Coffin Co., as related by an old employee: Employees, of whom there are more than 200, are forced to buy their own ice for drinking water purposes during the hot months. Employees who are called out at night to get out coffin orders are paid at the same rate per hour they receive in the day time. If a workman is called out at night does not report for duty at the regular hour the next day he is doaked. Very few union men are connected with the factory. The only union men are the steam engineers and two wagon drivers. Several young girls work in the factory at ridiculously low wages, some receiving as low as $5 a week. They are engaged in the task of lining coffins and sewing. Says the Democratic campaign book of Frederick D. Gardner: "When he found his city suffering from bad government because of a crude and archaic charter he gave freely of his time and means to accomplish this needed civic reform, and much of the new organic law of St. Louis is the result of his work." Comptroller Player's denunciation of the new charter, from a Democratic standpoint, is at variance with this self-inflicted eulogy of the Democratic candidate for Governor. Again, this eulogy of Gardner's in the campaign book says: "He is an authority in business and a master in the world of finance, and his views upon this and kindred subjects, unlike the quibbling technicalities of a country lawyer, are founded in deep study, wide observation and broad experience." We leave this to the reader. A man who thinks this much of himself should have plenty of time to strut before mirrors. Taking away four years of his time to make him Governor would be an imposition upon his vanity. The Democratic campaign book has this to say, among other things, of the Hon. John P. Gordon, twice State Auditor, and who now has his wife, Mrs. Oma Gordon, on the payroll at the rate of $150 a month: "He was deputy clerk in the county court of Lafayette County for eight years, and was postmaster of Corder for four years under the Cleveland administration; was for four years a member of the board of managers of the Missouri School for the Deaf at Fulton." Evidently Mr. Gordon is a simon pure Democrat. He not only believes in a perpetual livelihood from the state, but thinks his family as well should share the spoils. Mrs. Gordon, by the way, has never been seen to be engrossed in work around the state capitol. She has been prompt, however, in receiving her pay at the first of every month. DICKEY SURPRISES THEM. His Recent St. Louis Speech Shows Him as an Attractive Public Speaker. In commenting on the big Lamm and Dickey meeting at St. Louis Oct. 16, the Globe-Democrat says editorially: "The opening of the Republican campaign in St. Louis was a surprise to the committee that arranged it. Not only was the Odeon packed with the most representative gathering a political rally has brought out locally in 20 years, but the Hibernian Hall was During the primary campaign the opponents of John P. Gordon vigorously attacked him upon his record as a State Auditor. They attacked him on the ground of nepotism, as he virtually has his entire family on the payroll, their combined salaries and fees amounting to about $12,000 a year. They attacked him on account of the extravagance of his office, on account of his unfriendliness toward the State University and his public abuse of the president of that institution. They attacked him because he was one of the parties that took over $500,000 away from the funds of the school. They attacked him on account of questionable dealings when he acquired real estate from some heirs under misrepresentation, and they were compelled to file suit against him in order to bring about a reasonable settlement. When the primary was over and Gordon won one of his opponents sent him a wire of congratulation, saying: "I did not say anything about you in the primary THAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE BACK." In other words, his Democratic opponent still maintains that all that he said about John P. Gordon during the primary is true. In the language of James Cowgill, Democratic state chairman, Gordon is unfit to hold any public office. similarly jammed and the overflow in the street blocked traffic. The stories of apathy among St. Louis Republicans which the Democrats have peddled throughout the state, to revive the drooping hopes of disconsolate workers, were proven groundless. The supposed factional divisions of St. Louis Republicans were shown to be imaginary, at least so far as the present campaign is concerned. St. Louis Republicans are united and courageous. "While there were other able speakers, the crowd was impatient to hear Mr. Dickey and Judge Lamm, whom they gave ovations and whose utterances they frequently cheered with spontaneous enthusiasm. There was an element of surprise in Mr. Dickey's speech, for, while he was known as a man who has made a great success in business and one who for 30 years has been an active Missouri Republican, ready to make any personal sacrifice for the advancement of causes he believed essential to the public welfare, he was not reputed to be an orator. But he has developed into an effective speaker. Not only was his speech appropriate, graceful, well-balanced and unanswerable, but it was delivered in an attractive, forceful manner. Mr. Dickey's personality impressed the vast audience as much as his speech, and every Republican present felt proud of the senatorial candidate. "Judge Lamm, owing to his place on the long program, spoke but briefly. He captivated the crowd, as he has every gathering he has addressed the last few months. His hearers delighted in his masterful treatment of subjects, his vigor, his fairness, his witt and his earnestness. Those who heard him could understand why ex-Gov. Hadley has called him the greatest figure that has appeared in Missouri politics since Benton. His demands for efficiency, economy, sincerity and justice in state affairs had a ring of truth in them and there was not a listener who did not feel that the speaker was fitted for the Herculanean task of straightening out affairs at Jefferson City. He will make a splendid Governor." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright, 1915, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 29 LESSON TEXT-Acta 27:1-38. GOLDEN TEXT-Commit thy way unto Jehovah; trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass.-Pa. 27.5. Paul sailed from Caesarea August, A. D. 59 (Ramsey), a few days after his address before Agrippa. He reached Malta about November 15. Paul knew how to meet mobs, but none of his adventures are more outstanding than the one we are studying today. Luke, his physician, was a companion, and the historian, Josephus, states that on board the ship there were more than 600 people traveling with Paul. Paul was a man of distinction, a Roman citizen. He had his own hired house in Rome, Aristarchus may possibly have been his servant to furnish comfort for the journey. Ramsey believed Paul had received hereditary property, thus making him a Roman citizen of rank, of learning and of standing financially. 1. Fair Weather and Contrary Winds (vv. 1-12). Sidon was on about 70 miles north of Caesarea on the coast of Palestine. Here Paul received liberty to go ashore and visit his Christian friends. Myra is in Asia Minor. It requires 14 days to reach this point from Sidon, a distance of about 400 miles. Here, instead of going up the Aegean sea route, often used in going to Rome, the centurion found a grain ship bound from Alexandria to Italy, and put his prisoners on board. September 1 they started for Italy. The direct course would have been westward, but the wind was contrary, and the progress was slow. On the 23d they were opposite Culus, the southwest point of Asia Minor, 130 miles from Myra. September 25 they entered the harbor of Fair Haven, near the middle of the south shore of the island of Crete. The fast day, October 5, the day of the great atonement, was observed in this place. The question of going farther was a debatable one, yet the commander persisted, and about the 10th of October they sailed for Fair Haven. II. The Hurricane (vv. 13-20). Taking advantage of a gentle wind they put out of Fair Haven, and almost immediately encountered the hurricane. It was perhaps hard for Paul during those 14 days to discern the wise, gentle hand of God. (Jonah 1-4). God's most faithful servants do not always find smooth sailing. (Phil. 4:6; 7; Isaiah 26:3; John 16:33), but they may, no matter how fiercely tempest tossed, know that God has not ceased to look upon them with favor. Sometimes the best thing for us to do, when thus tempest tossed, is "to lighten the ship" (v. 18). Many of us are carrying too much cargo for such a stormy voyage as this world presents, and the tempest is often God's call to unload (Heb. 12:1; Phil. 3:7-8; Math. 16:26). Their greatest danger was lest they should fall into quicksand. It was indeed a dark and doubtful situation. III. The Message of Cheer: "I Believe God" (vv. 20-26). Neither sun nor stars having shone for many days, and all hope that any should be saved seemingly taken away, yet God is able to save in the darkness as well as in the sunshine, in the tempest as well as in the calm, and there was in that boat one man at least whose hope was not gone, for God had said to him, "Thou must bear witness at Rome also" (23:11). Paul's message of cheer in the midst of this despair and after they had been so long without food, immediately stamped him as a leader of wisdom and power. In the presence of passengers and sailors he began his message by saying that they had come into this disaster by neglecting his advice two weeks before. He refers to this in order to inspire confidence in his message, that there should be no loss of any man's life among them. Paul could make this promise because "an angel of God whose I am and whom I serve" had come to him and assured him that God would redeem the promise made two years before. This implies that Paul had given himself to prayer. Observe how one godly man can save many ungodly men (Gen. 18:22-33). God's vision came to Paul, but Paul used it for the comfort and cheer of the whole ship's company (II Cor. 1-4). A modern illustration of a similar experience was that of Mr. Moody and General Howard, returning from Europe on the steamship Sprege in 1892. General Howard relates that Mr. Moody did a great deal to cheer the passengers, by both his words and his actions, during those days of stress and storm. The darker and stormier the night, the more likely are the angels of God to appear if we are indeed his (v. 23: Cf. Ch. 18:9-29:11). Sometimes these angels stand beside us and we do not see them, we are taken up with the darkness and the howling of the storm. It is a great thing to be able to look up to the infinite God and say, "I am his." To make this statement intelligently, and with a deep realization of its meaning will give significance and solemnity to all. IV. Paul, the Life Saver (yy. 27-37). Paul did not stop with simply saying that God was his, but went on to say, "Whom also I serve." Many say they are God's but do not prove it by their lives of service. Paul loved to think and speak of himself as the servant of God (Rom. 1:9; II Tim. 1:3; Titus 1:1). Some of the sailors thought to launch the boat, leaving the passengers to their fate. All the hurricanes that ever struck the sea or the ships of the sea could not prevent the fulfillment of God's promises, and Paul fully accepted the significance of God's word "fear not." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In a communication to the New York Times, Charles W, Thomas, president of the Teachers' Association of the District of Columbia, makes the following remarks: It is surprising to find the editorial columns of the Times, usually accurate, right and fair, making a vulnerable and flippant statement about such a social issue as is involved in "The Colored Migration to the North." In a recent work of great merit by Huntington, "Climate and Civilization," it is indicated how the migration of people from warm and enervating climates to cool and stimulating ones releases pent-up energy and spells achievement. From that viewpoint alone the migration of the colored man to the North is to be judged, not by its effects upon that section or upon the South, but by its effects upon the colored man himself, as an American citizen, thinking to work himself to the highest unit value in the civilization and by its creation of a social surplus. The facts are, in this migration, the colored men are not being misled as on some occasions, but they are, as students in southern schools, aiming to complete their education by working in the North under contract, personal teacher-foreman supervision, and medical attendance, and, as heads of families, they want better educational facilities for their children with greater security for their lives and their families. The Times statement that the South knows how to manage the colored man better than the North is the same dangerous half-truth which delayed the abolition of slavery and increased the cost. It seems strange that men should be unwilling to believe in the efficiency of contact, sympathy, and co-operation to produce the true democracy which they claim to want, and thus to realize the intent of the fathers who aimed to found a home of justice, freedom, and opportunity for the oppressed of all the world, yet the colored man finds that unwillingness to prevail in some sections of this country, and in some social groups in all sections. The fact that the colored man consents to leave a section to which he is already so well adapted and in which he is "the possessor of a near-monopoly of the labor franchise," shows his aspirations for the fullness of life and his willingness to pay the price. Already 300,000 of Virginia's native colored people can be found in other states in the Union. The North will have no regrets for this new migration to the extent that it continues under the auspices of social agencies which aim to adjust the colored man to his new environment so that he may not separate opportunity and responsibility, and so that he may conduct himself in such a manner as to gain the respect of and live at peace with his white neighbors. The Fifteenth regiment of infantry, New York National Guard, the first Negro regiment to be organized in the state, received its colors from Governor Whitman, and passed in review before him in front of the Union League club, at Fifth avenue and Thirty-ninth street. Thousands of Negroes lined the avenue above and below the club, and applauded the marching of the soldiers, the addresses of the governor and Col. William Hayward, the incidents of the ceremony of presenting the colors—and Bert Williams' impromptu equestrian act. The first annual session of the National Negro Travelers' Protective association was held in the parlors of the Dunbar hotel, with C. E. Howard of Jacksonville, acting president, in the chair. The session was very enthusiastic. The action of the temporary organization was adopted and committees were appointed as follows: Local membership, R. A. Blount, J. B. Long, Atlanta, and R. K. Tucker of Mississippi. On law, G. W. Powell, George E. Taylor, B. K. Tucker, J. B. Long and A. L. Green of Alabama. An open meeting was held at First Congregational church and among the speakers were: Bishop Camphor, C. E. Howard, G. E. Taylor, and others.—Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. That the white man is "wearing himself out" and killing his own race off, and soon, if the Negro will only keep quiet, the colored race will have the world to itself, was the belief expressed by Rev. S. L. Carrothers in an address before the annual race conference at Mount Carmel Baptist church at Washington. He added, New lines of Japanese steamships are to be established between Japan and South American ports in order to obviate the necessity of trans-shipping cargoes either at London or Marselles. A new service employing five new ships of 7,500 tons each is to be begun between Japan and Brazil, and it is probable that another company will also enter the new field. The wreck record of the Baltic sea is greater than that of any other part of the world. In the Woman's Home Companion a woman writes: "Comparing our boys with those of the present warring nations, our boys seem to lack culture and physical training. Beside the thrifty European peasants our lower classes of boys are shiftless and lazy. Even one year's enforced military training would make real men of the thousands of poolroom hangers-on and the budding criminals that infest our juvenile courts. It would mean enforced education for boys between six- THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1916 Williams, the darky comedian, is also inspector of small arms in the regiment, with the rank of captain. He is on the staff of Colonel Hayward, the public service commissioner, who is commander of the regiment, and, as such, he was privileged to ride behind the colonel at the head of the marching men. The regiment came down from its armory at One Hundred and Thirty-second street and Seventh avenue, to the Grand Central on the subway, and there formed in line, the staff officers mounting horses to lead the regiment west in Forty-second street. Bert's horse, a light gray charger, began to waltz about the street the moment the captain-comedian got into the saddle. Colonel Hayward gave the command to march. The band struck up "Onward, Christian Soldiers." The long column moved—and Williams' horse, ears straight back, tail out, and feet flying, dashed ahead. The rider was taken by surprise, but clung to his saddle and succeeded in stopping his charger as soon as the animal had put a satisfactory distance between himself and the band. The horse even consented to wait, though rather impatient, at Fifth avenue until the regiment had caught up, and Bert was in his place when his line turned south in the avenue. Colonel Hayward and his staff, as they turned into Fifth avenue, were applauded by thousands in front of the Union League club—and Captain Bert's temperamental mount once more abandoned the parade. Down the avenue the animal rushed, Bert staying in his seat, but apparently his self-confidence had been left with the regiment. He did not even notice that the runaway was dashing straight at four active motion picture cameras set to record the approach of the regiment, and eagerly putting on film everyone of the multitudinous movements and expressions registered by himself and the horse. Two mounted policemen at Thirty-ninth street stopped the runaway and saved Bert—the whole action also occurring in the focus of the cameras. The policemen held the animal's bridle until he seemed quiet and then let go. The rescue accomplished, the applause broke out again, and Bert's horse made another dash. But a traffic policeman at the corner caught him at his fourth leap—and Bert didn't stay to continue his act any longer. He slid from his saddle to the ground and planted the well-known Williams feet on the pavement with more emphasis than he ever waved them over the footlights. Governor Whitman, in presenting the colors to the regiment, spoke to the men on their duty as members of the National Guard. The regiment was authorized by recent legislation. Most of its staff officers are white men, but its line officers are Negroes. With the Panama canal open and direct steamship lines between the Atlantic coast of the United States and Australasia, New Zealand should be a splendid field for American exports, and the steamship service is assured, for there are now agents of a strong American shipping company looking the field over with a view to establishing a regular monthly service both ways to begin with, and doubtless more will follow. The government of Chile has authorized the erection of a technical industrial school. however, that he hoped the white man would "wake up" before he reached this depth of destruction. Rev. Milton Waldron urged that concerted efforts should be made to have the Negro race as a whole better its condition. He also insisted that colored persons should not regard themselves as a race apart, but rather as an integral part of the great human family. Prof. C. M. Thomas, a teacher in the Miner Normal school, made a plea for race solidarity. Several of the speakers who followed him congratulated him upon his talk, including its discussion of problems and their solution. A plan is being considered to create a nation-wide plan for the betterment of the colored race. H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the house representatives, is scheduled as one the afternoon speakers. A graphophone nearly eight feet high and correspondingly powerful, although only the usual records are used, has been built by a Tacoma musician for concert purposes in public parks. "Let the Negro remember that the color line vanishes in the presence of real greatness." So says Rabbi Wise of New York city, speaking of the late Booker Washington. "Let the Negro ever bear in mind that while an entire race cannot seek protection under the shadow of one great name or ten great names, a race, like a man, must stand upon its own feet and not upon the shoulders of a single man." New fields of calcium borax have been discovered near Iquique, Chile. teen and twenty, and preparedness either for war or life's battles.

And the articles she prepares for us are written with a view to meeting the needs of the community. The tawdry and extravagant H THE LITTLE GIRL FASHIONABLE COAT FOR LITTLE MAID. After reviewing coats made for the small girl it seems that they range through as great a variety of materials, and almost as great a variety of styles, as coats for grown-ups. All the soft, woolly goods, several fur-fabrics and plushes, velvet in various colors, and all-fur coats promise a season of rich and comfortable outdoor wear for the little miss. It is a fad of the season to have a hat or bonnet and a tiny muff made of the same material as the coat. From top to toe almost everything small ladies wear is of one kind of cloth. For trimming, narrow bandings of the shorthaired and least costly furs are used. Smocking and shirring play important roles in making coats of wool velours, Bolivia and similar cloths, and they are at their best on velvet. But coats of fur-fabrics or plush, like that shown in the picture, must be made on the plainest lines. They have added coiffé of hair to other high nails and are showing other puffs and several show at the crown of the hair for those who like a love.

Rabbit is frankly rabbit this year, and costs money, at that. There are fascinating coats of white broadcloth trimmed with bandings of brown fur, and they are quaint replicas of models made for grown people. The coat shown in the picture is a practical model of brown plush very durable and warm. It is so simple that there is almost no reason for a description of it. It has a turnover collar and cuffs of the same material as the belt. The belt slips through straps at the sides, and odd silk buttons provide the means of fastening. Now that the waved and puffed and otherwise elaborated collar has come back, hairdressers appear to be working under the spur of new inspirations. fastened with a sheet one of many styles, part on the forehead touch.

Tartan time is here once more. It seems to come as regularly as the fall of the leaf, and is always welcome, for to the woman of taste in clothes, tartan, with its sombre background and gay stripes, is irresistibly fascinating. The French woman discovered its becomingness ages ago, and the love of it seems ineradically planted in her bosom. She nearly always has a tartan skirt or blouse in her wardrobe, and she is fond of dressing her children in it. At present the vogue is are taboo with her. Leading wholesale and retail dealers and manufacturers of fashion, she is an author and the editor of the Ladies' Home Journal has consulted her frequently. She is at present associate executive director of the Ladies' Home Journal is a regular contributor to another and is fashion editor for an important newspaper. She went annually to the Paris fashion center, and since then has kept in touch with personal correspondence, publish them and arrange engagements. H They have added coiffures with loops of hair to other high and stately styles, and are showing others with small puffs and several short curls pinned at the crown of the head in the back, for those who like a lower hairdress. Among high coiffures there is one design in which a band of waved hair is wound about the head like a wide band of ribbon, near the forehead. It allows a few orderly waves and ringlets to escape about the face, and the back hair is arranged in puffs at the top of the crown. This is an unusual and very finished-looking hairdress. A similar coiffure is shown in the picture. In this design all the hair is waved and the front hair is combed back over a foundation which raises it at the top of the head. At the back a cluster of curls is pinned below the crown and a band of waved hair is brought across above the nape of the neck. It will be seen that ornamental pins are an essential part of this coiffure—they finish and support it. The coifure at the left is much simpler. All the hair is marcelled for it and combed toward the top of the crown. It is finished in a small coil 1 fastened with a shell comb. This is one of many styles to which a side part on the forehead gives a youthful touch. Julia Bottomley Jersey. Paris likes it. America likes it. So it will go merrily on. It will not pass with the summer. Silk jersey is expected to remain all winter. It makes a smart and useful all-round rig. In a coated belt dress it is altogether modish. for wearing the plaid skirt arranged in plaits as much like the kilt as possible, and strung from a beautifully modeled yoke. Brogue shoes are, of course, a sine qua non with it, and tartan stockings, too, if you would be absolutely en suite. Little coats with square-tabbed basques in dark green or blue are the natural allies of the tartan skirt. Some of the smart between-season frocks of serge are trimmed with sou-tache braiding. HOUSEHOLD HINTS OF VALUE Small Things In Themselves, but They Will Be Found Well Worthy of Consideration. To make house ferns grow rapidly, place four or five pieces of charcoal on top of the soil. Keep the flower pot in a jardiniere, with plenty of water, and its rapid movement will be astonishing. Try rubbing your stove well with vinegar before applying the blackening and you will be surprised at how much brighter your polish will be and how much longer it will last than if the blackening were applied to the uncleaned iron. To clean the white kid shoes now so much in vogue make a paste of cornstarch and gasoline, keeping the mixture away from the fire, preferably out of doors. Rub the shoes thoroughly and leave in the sun to dry, when all superfluous powder may be rubbed off with a dry cloth. This preparation is also excellent for cleaning white felt. The raveled threads from old linen will be found best for darning tablecloths or napkins. Save all tea leaves for about a week and place them in a pail, over which may be poured boiling water. Allow them to stand for one hour; then strain and bottle the liquid. This, when applied with fannel to mirrors, windows and plature glasses, makes them shine like crystal. FOR PART OF DINNER MENU Dish That Experts Have Recommended as a Welcome Addition to the Table. Little Chicken Aspics.—Line some plain individual molds with cool aspic jelly, decorate this with cooked peas and put them into a cool place until they are required. Put a quarter of a plint of thick mayonnaise sauce into a basin and mix it with a quarter of a plint of whipped cream. Then add by degrees a quarter of a plint of cool aspic jelly (which is still liquid). Have in readiness some of the white meat of a cooked fowl cut into small dice-shaped pieces, mask them quickly with the mayonnaise cream and fill the individual molds. Turn out the little individual aspics as soon as the mixture is quite firm, arrange them close together around a small platter which has been covered with chopped aspic and fill the middle of the dish with a salad composed of young peas (cooked) and lettuce. Bran and Graham Biscuit One cupful sterilized bran, two cupfuls graham flour, one cupful milk, one egg, two teaspoonfuls sugar, one teaspoonful salt, two teaspoonfuls butter, four teaspoonfuls baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients together, beat the egg slightly and add to the milk. Stir the liquids into the dry ingredients the same as for cream biscuits. Turn upon a slightly floured molding board and roll to one-half inch in thickness. Cut into shape with the biscuit cutter and bake in a hot oven. Lastly, here is a very nourishing nut and raisin bread that is particularly good for the children's school luncheon, but it is well to chop the raisins so as to make them more easily digested. French Pickles. One colander of sliced green tomatoes, one quart sliced onions, one colander of cucumbers, pared and sliced; two good handfuls of salt. Let all stand 24 hours, then drain through a sieve; one-half ounce celery seed, one half ounce allspice, one teacupful of white mustard seed, one teacupful of black pepper. Use a little less pepper, if you don't like yours too hot. Use one-half cupful pepper, one tablespoonful turmeric, one pound of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of mustard, one gallon of vinegar. Stuffed Cucumbers Make a force meat of one cupful of veal or lamb, and half a cupful of bread crumbs; season with butter, salt and cayenne. Scoop out centers of six large-sized cucumbers, cut in halves. Take a slice off the bottom so that they will stand upright. Arrange them in a deep pan, pour in a cupful of stock, let simmer in this, in oven until tender; take them out, arrange on a hot dish; thicken the gravy with brown flour; let it boll up once and serve round cucumbers. Stuffed Cherry Salad. Use large black cherries; canned cherries can be substituted, but red cherries are generally too tart. Pit the cherries and stuff with hazelnut kernels. If cherries are small, cut kernels of nuts in small pieces. Heap a tiny mound on crisp lettuce and serve with mayonnaise or boiled dressing. This is a very attractive salad. Ham Loaf for Cold Supper Put one-half pound of boiled ham through a meat grinder, then one-half pound of cheese and six large soda crackers. Mix all these together; add one teaspoonful Worcestershire sauce, three beaten eggs and one-half pint of milk. Mix thoroughly and bake in a slow oven for half an hour.—Mother's Magazine. Air Pudding. Beat the whites of two eggs very stiff. Put through a sieve two cupfuls of sweetened apple sauce, turn the sauce into the dish with the beaten whites of eggs, and a little lemon flavoring and beat all together. Put it in a dish that you will serve it from and set away to chill. Some say it tastes like sheerbet (lemon). Chocolate Bars. One cupful granulated sugar, one-half cupful butter, two eggs beaten light, one-half cupful flour (full measure), one and one-half tablespoonfuls of milk, two squares chocolate melted, one-half cupful walnuts chopped fine. Flavor with vanilla. Bake in dripping pan. Cut into bars when done. To Restore Silk's Color. If the color has been taken out of silk by fruit stains, a little ammonia will usually restore it. SAVES MANY STEPS IDEA FOR HOUSE CONVENIENCE WORTH WHILE. Combined China Closet, Serving Table and Roller Tray That Costs Little and Is Quite Easy to This convenience comprises a china closet, serving table and roller tray all in one. This device was built by using a box five inches deep for the top and placing four wooden posts for legs. Dimensions: Top of table, $31\frac{1}{2}$ inches long by $16\frac{1}{2}$ inches wide and 29 inches high, and a serving compartment 5 inches deep. The top of the table is put on hinges and straps or small chains fastened to it to keep the top from falling back too far when opened. The bottom of the serving compartment is 5 inches below this top. Around the sides of this compartment are little screw hooks on which the cups may be hung. In the compartment, which may be lined with white oilcloth, is space for serving dishes for six. Below the serving compartment is a drawer which is divided in the center by a one-half-inch strip. Combined China Closet, Serving Table and Roller Tray. One side is used for the linen and one side for the silver. The side used for the silver is lined with blue outing flannel because this serves the same purpose and is cheaper than felt. A spool was cut into halves to make the knobs for the drawer and a pair of these knobs was placed on each side so that the drawer could be used from either side. The legs were square pieces of wood $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches square with rollers. Old rubber-tired wheels from toy wagons or discarded baby coaches may be used. This is an improvement because the tray rolls noiselessly. In some cases the legs from old tables can be used in place of having these made. At each end two brackets were placed so that the table could be pushed or pulled. When the soiled dishes were taken to the kitchen and washed, they were placed in this serving compartment with one handling only, the lid placed down and the roller tray rolled into the dining room, with the dishes and silver ready for setting the table at the next meal. It is not necessary to put them away because they are out of the dust when the top is down. The estimated cost of this convenience is: To Eliminate Housework. To make the house beautiful and livable and at the same time easy to care for, try what elimination and organization will do. One would think the bedroom would be difficult to simplify, but it will bend to the will as readily as the sitting room. Keep in mind just two things—with good outline a bedroom is furnished once in a lifetime. Then remember color. It is astonishing what can be done in the most economical fashion in the world with color in the bedroom. One does not need a single bit of white from start to finish except in sheets, pillow cases and towels. Plunge into color for the window draperies, for the outside spread for the bed and for the rugs. Cocoanut Dainties. Boll one cupful of sugar and one half cupful of water until it threads, then beat into the frothed whites of two eggs just as for boiled iceing. When it is just ready to spread on cake (at that stage, that is), stir in enough long-thread coconut to make stiff enough to handle. Drop by teaspoonfuls on buttered tin about the size of an English walnut, and shape with fingers into little haystacks. Brown lightly in oven. Pineapple Reel Juice Cut the peel of the pineapple in small pieces, weigh and take the same weight of sugar. Make a sirup by adding one cupful water to each pound of sugar, then boil fruit in the sirup, 15 minutes, slow, steady boiling. Let stand overnight, then strain and squeeze in a sugar bag. Bottle and put on ice. This makes a fine pudding sauce and is delicious on boiled rice. Entire Wheat and White Flour Bread. Use same ingredients as for entire wheat bread, with exception of flour. For flour use $3\frac{1}{4}$ cupful entire wheat and $2\frac{1}{4}$ cupful white flour. The dough should be slightly kneaded, and if handled quickly will not stick to the board. Loaves and biscuits should be shaped with hands instead of pouring into pans, as in entire wheat bread. To Brighten Carpets. Wipe them with warm water to which has been added a few drops of ammonia. To Whip Thin Cream. When cream is too thin to whip easily, add the white of an egg to each pint of cream. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Political Views Divide Many Washington Families WASHINGTON.—Meredith Nicholson, the author who was offered a post in the diplomatic service by President Wilson, and his wife have agreed to differ on a most important question. It is that of the candidacy of Mr. Wilson for re-election. Mr. Nicholson is for him and Mr. Nicholson is against him and for Mr. Hughes. A number of other equally well-known families have divided within the last few weeks over the presidential campaign. Among the couples which have agreed to differ as to presidential candidates are Representative William Kent of California and Mrs. Kent, Mr. and Mrs. Fremont Older of California, Mr. George Mid daughter of Senator La Follette of Hopkins of New Jersey, and Mr. and Mr. Wis.

Rapid Work on the Beautiful Lincoln Memorial Rapid Work on the Beautiful Lincoln Memorial NOTHER step in the building of the Lincoln memorial in Potomac park has been taken—that of letting contracts for construction of the terrace walls of the beautiful monument and of the masonry approaches to the gigantic pile. An appropriation of $309,500 is available for the building of these features of the memorial, which, according to specifications, are to be of the best granite obtainable. Indications are that the imposing monument to the martyred president of the sixties will be completed months ahead of the time stipulated in the contract. The contract time is March, 1918, but work is progressing at such a rate on the memorial that the more optimistic of the officials in charge of the construction are hazarding the belief that the structure will be standing as a complete tribute to the immortal Lincoln by the end of 1917. the construction are hazarding the believe as a complete tribute to the immortal Li Already the colonnade and the out-pleted.

Post Office Department Running a Big Laundry Post Office Department Running a Big Laundry T MAY not be generally known, but Uncle Sam is today running a laundry. By this means he is combating the high cost of living. A couple of years ago, when the post office department asked for bids for the washing of towels for the department in Washington, the prices seemed to be abnormally high for the great number to be laundered. Someone in the department suggested that it take over the towel-washing business itself as an experiment. The suggestion sounded good to the officials, who purchased a small washing machine, and it was soon found that the towels were being washed at a rate much below that the past few weeks, decided to go into scale.

A new and larger washing machine has been purchased, and it now proposes not only to wash the towels of the post office department, but also those used at the Washington city post office. This will mean that the post office laundry will wash on an average of about 4,000 towels each day. The department has found that it can wash and iron these 4,000 towels at a cost of not over 18 cents per 100 towels. It is said that the bids received by the department were in the neighborhood of 50 cents per 100. It can therefore be estimated that the department is saving approximately $500 a year by doing its own laundry work, and not only has its towels on hand at all times, but is sure that they are thoroughly washed. Rat Proves Prediction on Fashions is Correct THE latest fashion note that skirts will be higher this season was more than vindicated the other night, when a large rat, in his efforts to escape two bulldogs, ran toward a crowd of women who were watching the chase near the corner of Thirteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue northwest. Through some mysterious agency of "ratdom" a huge rodent escaped sentries and meandered toward the white light of the avenue. As far as can be learned it was but a sightseeing trip, but Sir Rodent had not counted up the carnivorous capacity of other members of the animal kihgdom. Two bulldogs simultaneously spied the tourist and both claimed him for their own. Two sets of teeth closed upon Mr. Rat about the same time, and a guttural argument ensued as to rightful ownership. Becoming incensed at the futility of this argument, both dogs loosened their hold upon the rat, who scampered toward what looked to be a wall of protection, but which was really a flock of skirts whose owners had stopped on the corner to witness the struggle. him for their own.

He attended the first practice shoot and showed the students that he is no slouch with the rifle himself. HINDUS WED WITH BRAHMIN RITES Strange Ceremony in New York Marks Romance Begun in Faraway India. BOTH ARE COLLEGE STUDENTS Incense and Flowers Are Most Important Feature of the Ceremony Instead of Ring, Bride and Groom Exchange Garlands. New York.—A romance which began in faraway India culminated here in the marriage of two young members of the Hindu priestly caste, both students at Columbia university. The bride was Miss Radhabal Pawar, a Brahmin, who lives at Whittier hall, and the bridegroom was Shankar M. Pagar, a Brahmin, both sent to this country by the government of Baroda to complete their education. The ceremony was celebrated at the Vedanta society's meeting place, 236 Central Park West, and lasted about 20 minutes. A formal Brahmin ceremony takes up three days, but Mr. Pagar and his bride have adopted many of the American customs and they welcomed the shorter ceremony. To be married in an orthodox Brahmin temple they would have been obliged to travel to Boston or to San Francisco, so they decided to be wedded by a member of the Vedanta society. About 50 persons were present, including some of the bride's classmates, and a group of young Hindu students who are finishing their education at Columbia and New York university, all friends of the bridegroom. The ceremony was impressive, and for a short time it seemed as if the mysticism of India, the spirit of Veda, had settled upon this quiet corner in Central Park West. Wear Native Costumes. The couple wore their native bridal costumes. The bride, who is twenty-six years old, was dressed in a white silk sart, while the bridegroom, her senior by one year, wore a turban, shawl, and dhoti. It was a ceremony of love, of flowers, of incense. In all East Indian ceremonies incense is a most necessary thing, and it hung in purplish clouds over the young couple who sat while the priest, Swami Bodhalandra, read verses from the sacred books of India, the Mantras of the Vedas. Instead of the ring ceremony, the bride and bridegroom exchanged garlands of flowers. There were flowers everywhere, it seemed. Hindus have married American women, but this is the first marriage on record in this country where a Hindu youth married a Hindu maid. After the ceremony the bride and bridegroom, followed by their intimate friends, were whisked off in American style to the Hindustan Association of America, which occupies a plain brown-stone house at 364 West 120th street, where a supper of Indian dishes was served. But before the wedding feast the guests assembled in the large meeting room and blessed the bride with speeches. There also the mysticism of India and the materialism of America intermingled. On a small table, a soft golden light fell from a Buddha lamp, and in another corner an electric light glowed through an urn of alabaster, casting a white light upon the bride. She was surrounded by fragrant flowers, and upon her ears fell the songs of her native land, mostly love songs. And some of them came from a phonograph, and other love melodies were sung, accompanied by a parlor organ. All sorts of rare and highly spiced dishes relished by the Hindus were prepared by a Hindu chef for the feast. The bride and bridegroom sat at the head of the table, the bridegroom, meantime, having changed the robes of his land for American dress. Later the newlyweds left on their AVIATION SCHOOL IN EGYPT British Forces Are Establishing Big Institution for Instruction of Pilots. Cairo, Egypt.—At a place which can be designated only as "somewhere in Egypt" the British forces are establishing what will be one of the largest and most completely equipped aviation schools in the world. An Associated Press correspondent who recently visited the site found the school near honeymoon, and like other American bridal couples, they tried to keep their destination a secret. The bride took the degree of Bachelor of Science last year, and is now trying for the degree of Master of Arts. She is specializing in pedagogy. Mr. Pagar is a graduate of Wisconsin university, and has already taken the degree of Master of Arts at Columbia. This year he expects to take the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Both were born in the state of Baroda, India, and they have known each other since childhood. Their childish friendship ripened into love, and four years of separation did not lessen their affection. Mr. Pagar came here six years ago after winning a scholarship at the University of Bombay, and his bride has been a student at Columbia for two years. They plan to return to Baroda next summer, and will take up educational service for the government. To the uninitiated in a wedding in Sanskrit, it was impossible to determine whether the word "obey" was a part of the ceremony. One of the Hindu students present at the wedding, however, explained that the sacredness in which the ceremony was held by the Hindus obviated any emphasis on this point. So sacred is the ceremony, in fact, that only to those for whom the ceremony is being performed are its secret canons revealed. CHINESE WOMAN REGISTERS 4 Mrs. See Tong King Chong is shown here registering in San Francisco primaries. She is the widow of the late Senator Chong, the first senator of the Chinese colonies of the United States to the Chinese republic.

PRINTING INSIDE AN EGG Massachusetts Woman Finds Small Piece of Newspaper in Boiled Hen Fruit. Quincy, Mass.—Rivaling at least, if not transcending in importance, the famous question asked by a former king of England as to how the apple got inside the dumpling, is the question that Mrs. Sarah C. Williams of Cross street would like to have scientists, ornithologists or anybody else answer. Mrs. Williams broke open an egg, after the egg had been boiled. Inside she found a piece of newspaper about half an inch long and an eighth of an inch wide. There were a few lines of print on the paper, and Mrs. Williams could make out the three words, "To be known," and, underneath, "go to." The egg was in good condition. Frog in Ice Cake. York, Pa.—Edmund Senft found a frog recently frozen in a cake of ice. When taken out and placed in a bucket of water the frog was revived, and is now apparently healthy. It is believed that the frog was frozen in the ice many months ago. completion, and he was told that at least seven thoroughly qualified pupils in the art of flying will be graduated each week so long as the war lasts, for service not only with the British forces in Egypt, but elsewhere if demanded. This part of the world was chosen for the school mainly because it is adapted climatically to flying the whole year round, and because it is haudy to the various theaters of war. Incidentally an observer here might remark that the sands of the desert CAMP ENLIVENED BY SCOUT TALES Soldier Life Dull Now That Picturesque Guides Have Gone Away. TELL OF WEIRD EXPLOITS Considerable Swift and Accurate Shooting Seems to Have Been Experience of Most of Them—Call Villa by First Name. Field Headquarters, American Punitive Expedition, in Mexico.—There are not so many scouts now as there were in the first days of the punitive expedition. One by one, with many a scoutlike whoop and much business of twirling six-shooters on the fingers, the greater number of them have departed in a cloud of dust and a great clattering of hoofs. That they were allowed to depart may lay the commanders of this expedition open to some criticism. It is difficult to entertain an army in camp and those earlier scouts were entertaining. Those that are left devote an awful lot of time to scouting and very little to conversation. For instance, Jack Boyd, scout chief, was in this tent but a few minutes ago and an effort was made to draw him out on his experience with the rifle. "Shucks!" said Jack Boyd, glancing in embarrassment at the gold watch on his wrist. "I'm not a good shot. It just happens when we're out for game I'm lucky." Strong on Spotlight What can one do with a scout like that? Now the earlier scouts were just the other way around. Take the chap they called "Mail Order." The name was given him by the soldiers, who seemed to feel that his wide-brimmed hat, vivid neckerchief, embossed holsters and other "props" had been acquired by the system invented in Chicago. Mail Order had been detailing a killing in which he had played the spotlight a good deal. There had been considerable swift and accurate shooting, it seems, and Mail Order had come out of the blue smoke with two hot revolvers and three dead men on his conscience. "In course, I had to shoot," said Mail Order. ""Cause these here homines were fixin' to wipe me out. But I don't care none fer killin' men. Every time I kill a man it gives me the shivers." Nearly all those early scouts seemed to be personally acquainted with Pancho Villa and referred to him almost exclusively by first name. One of these sighed heartily upon hearing an official report of the expedition's engagement with a band of outlaws. "That ninty really no fun," he yawned. "When I was with Pancho some of them greasers tried to run off my cattle over to Sonoran. I gets up and, while my breakfast coffee is a cookin', I goes out and kills fourteen of 'em.' Dressed in Trophies. Another claimed to be dressed entirely in trophies and relics. He was forever glancing at an enormous silver watch. "See that watch?" he would then ask. "Took that off Suierro the Sutcher after I killed him." Then he would call attention to his boots, claiming that they were the mentoes of another bloody encounter. His pistol was highly prized, inasmuch as he declared it was a gift from Panoch Villa on the occasion of the scout's assassination of eight personal enemies of Villa. Thus ran the stories of the scouts who have departed. Their tales are sadly missed in camp. Reviewing some of them the writer questioned Jack Boyd closely. "You must have a remarkable shooting story somewhere about you," he was urged. "Yes," said Jack. "I have. Day before yesterday Lieutenant Patton and I were out shooting and we ran into a herd of 75 antelope. We got one apiece." Jack Boyd is a very discouraging sort of scout. HAS HERD OF WILD ANGORAS Farmer's Pet Goats Forgot Domesticity in Oregon Mountain Home. Hood Elver, Ore.—For the last several weeks mountainers who have made the ascent of Mount Hood have been contradicting the statements of authorities on Northwestern natural history by reports of having sighted wild sheep or goats high on the snowfields of the peak. A drove of the animals near the summit of the snowpeak, huddled under the shelf of a glacial precipice, was recently seen by Hans and Paul Hoerlein, William Marshall, W. B. Arens and Ned Crawford. The mystery was explained by P. H. Mohr, a young upper valley homesteader, who was in the city on business. "It's my herd of Angoras run wild," said Mr. Mohr. Catches the "Hugger."

Sunlight, which we call white, is composed of light rays of different colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. It can be broken up into its constituent colors in various ways. If it passed through a transparent prism (like the crystals that hang from a chandelier), or if it falls on a surface which has almost invisible minute irregularities (like mother of pearl or the wing of a butterfly), we see the rays into which sunlight has been separated. These phenomena are observed when light is not absorbed, says Popular Science Monthly. Hold a piece of red glass in front of flame and we see only red. Rays of all other colors have been absorbed. The natural colors of the objects we see about us, leaves, flowers, books and chairs, depend upon absorption. A green leaf throws back chiefly green rays; the rest are absorbed. So, the natural color of everything in nature is the unabsorbed residue from full white light. There is no such thing as color by itself. A swarm of minute particles, scattered in the path of white light, will break it up, like the surface of mother of pearl. If the particles happen to be of just the right size and the spaces between them just the right distance, they will absorb rays of one color only and throw off the rest. The atmosphere is filled with countless dust particles, and their size and spacing is such that they scatter rays which we call sky blue. Nearer the horizon, larger particles turn the blue into white; this happens above a dusty town and when mists or clouds hang above us. All that is left of white sunlight, after passing through many miles of blue scattering air, appears in the hues of sunset. The size and spacing of dust particles as well as the angle at which sunlight strikes them determines the color of the sky. Lithography. The first successful example of the lithographic art was produced 120 years ago by Aloys Senefelder, a Bavarian, who produced a piece of music printed by this process. Senefelder was a composer, but he was too poor to bear the cost of having his works published. He then began to experiment with the hope of discovering some cheap method by which he could do the printing himself. The lithographic process was suggested to him by his having made for his mother a memorandum of clothes to be sent to the washerwoman. He carelessly wrote this memorandum on a slab of stone, intending to copy it. As the stone lay before him he thought of trying the effect of applying printer's ink to the lines and thus take an impression. The experiment led to others, and in 1796 Senefelder produced a piece of music from lines drawn in slight relief on a slab of stone. The inventor obtained a patent for his process in several of the German states, and labored to extend his art throughout Europe Everywhere it met with favor, especially in France—New York Mall. Tiber Towing Paths. The navigation of the Tiber has been one of the first considerations of Signor Bonomi, minister of public works, who has initiated a project to re-establish the old towing paths, following upon the study of the question made by a commission nominated by his predecessor in the ministry. Prior to 1842 vessels were towed up the Tiber by men or oxen as far as Ponte Felice about 144 kilometers from the mouth of the river, then steam tugs were used for the purpose, running from the sea to Orte, but the towing path was still maintained for the unloading of goods along the route as well as for towing. With the development of railways, however, the river transport fell into disuse, as both the bed of the Tiber and the towing path were no longer kept in proper condition, but now that works have been executed to facilitate the navigation of the Tiber from the sea to Rome and from Rome to Orte, it has become a matter of necessity to reopen the towing paths. Chance for Good Work. Fathers and grandfathers may talk longingly of "the good old days," but what laid of a generation ago was ever given a transcontinental trip as a reward for excellence in agriculture? Yet more than 30 California boys are to be so recompensed this autumn, and though the main purpose of the trip is to bring them into contact with almost every prominent type of agriculture in the United States, it will naturally bring them in touch with much else worth seeing and knowing. For instance, while in Massachusetts, the boys are to visit, not only farms and markets, but also universities and historic buildings. What state will first arrange such a trip for the girls who excel in household economics? Satisfactory. "Hey, Doc!" called a citizen of Grudge to a professional appearing stranger who was passing the house. "Come in and see if you can fix up my brother-in-law. He's having a fit or something." "But, my dear sir, I am a veterinary surgeon—" "Aw, that's all right! Didn't you hear my say that this is my brother-in-law?"—Kansas City Star. Be Careful What You Tell 'Em.

Two dollars or six months, maybe." Home Town Helps Streets in Many Small Cities Worse Than Country Roads—Farmers Have Better Public Spirit. It is high time that the rural sections of America called to the towns to mend their ways and their streets, says a writer in the Country Gentleman. This is our conclusion after a recent tour of hundreds of miles through a prosperous country. We found highways in rural sections well kept and comfortable, but there was a far different story in the small cities and in the numerous towns and villages through which we passed. The main country roads were smooth boulevards compared with the streets in the average town or city. In some places where the homes were handsome and the factories busy the streets were full of holes. It was a striking illustration of the greatest roads failure in America. Small cities and towns have lagged. A roads expert, who recently has traveled over most of the country, says the fault is general. In the past five years the rural situation has improved vastly, but the small city and town showing is sad. When you near a settlement you begin to bump. For this the explanation is that the town or city has too much local indifference. A banker said to us: "We have two factions and each is so busy fighting the other that nothing is done for the town." It is a great pity. The very communities that ought to be ahead on good thoroughfares are behind. Perhaps farmers might jog them into right action by taking their patronage to towns and cities that provide good streets to travel over—Chicago News, THE WAY TO PLAN YOUR HOME Each Room Should Have Favorable Exposure—Here's How to Make Things Comfortable. No more important question confronts the homebuilder than the exposure of the rooms in his prospective home, for no matter how charming a house may be nor how convenient its interior arrangement, it cannot be entirely successful unless each room has a favorable exposure. A living room having windows on its east and west side may capture both the morning and afternoon sun, and if, in addition, it opens out on a porch facing the south, no more satisfactory arrangement is possible. A porch facing the south makes a pleasant open-air living room in warm weather and a cheery, glassed-in sun parlor in winter. For the dining room, an easterly exposure is desirable, thus giving one a cheerful amount of sunshine for what is apt to be in many households the most trying meal of the day. The model kitchen will have windows facing both north and south. This makes for comfort in summer and admits the late afternoon sun, which considerably lengthens the hours of daylight. South and west for the chambers is the correct exposure, with windows facing both ways, if possible. Trees for the Streets The city forestry department of Cleveland, O., plans the setting out of about 5,900 trees, chiefly in the streets, during the autumn. The use to be made of them has been definitely decided. It is a public improvement which is especially welcome after much extremely hot weather, says the Cleveland Leader. Shaded streets plead their own cause when the temperature is not far below blood heat or even a little higher, at the worst hours of the day. And in a long drought, when it is almost impossible to keep lawns green and flowers blooming, healthy trees, fairly treated, resist the adverse weather conditions better than any other verdure and do more than their share to save the streets of cities from the dreariness of masonry unbroken by nature's fresh tints and unfailing life. Cleveland is not the "Forest City" in the sense that it used to be, but there are still hundreds of thousands of trees inside the municipal limits and many of them are fine specimens of their kind. All that can reasonably be done to improve these conditions and make the streets still more shady and attractive ought to be the constant aim and care of the city government and of public-spirited citizens, also. Put Bones Under Ground Most people do not suspect the great fertilizing value there is in bones. To the ordinary amateur gardener there is a wide difference between the bone he holds in his hand and the soluble plant food so necessary to plant development. But the fertilizer companies know that bones are the highest-class fertilizers (not counting war prices of potash) except dried blood, Ground bones sell at over $30 a ton wholesale, when other fertilizers sell around $20 to $25 a ton. The scientific farmers use large quantities of ground bone, even in the growing of such crops as wheat, corn and oats. Remember this next spring.

EGBERT Perhaps Dunn should never have joined the Northwestern mounted police, for of all types of men who are out of their element there, the moody, introspective, unaggressive man comes easily first. But Dunn had had a hankering after the military life when he went out to Calgary two years before. Now he was in for several years, and cursing his luck daily. What he liked best was the lonely patrols up in the Big Lake country. He had met Marie Dufour there, the daughter of an old trapper who had retired, like his fur-bearing beasts, before the march of civilization. He had seen her three times during the past two years, and it had been understood that when he became a corporal he was to speak to her father. But the coveted stripes would never be his so long as Sergt, Mitchell remained in the squadron. A hard-featured, service-bitten man, Mitchell made Dunn's life wretched. He inspected his uniform with an angle eye that discovered the smallest speck or flaw, he hauled him before his officers on trivial charges; in short, he did his best to break Dunn or force him out of the service. It was a long time before Dunn discovered that Mitchell had met Marie in the Big Lake country the year before and coveted her beauty. When Dunn understood this he privately resolved that some day he would even up the score between them. For the present he remained quietly in bar racks, doing his duty and suffering under Mitchell's ill-treatment. The quiet life was interrupted by one of those periodical excitements that descend upon the barracks. Black Doe, in a state of drunkenness, had shot a police officer at Neverport, and was making for the Big Lake country. Mitchell was ordered to take two troopers and get him. It was a journey of two hundred miles, in the slusy period of spring. A man in a uniform stands over a dead man lying on the ground. "You Were in the Nick of Time." But the police never postpones its vengeance when it can avoid it, and never abandons it. Dunn could not imagine what it was that impelled Mitchell to select him along with Crum. Perhaps Mitchell wished to see the man he most hated in Marie's presence, so as to be more sure of his bearings. Whatever the motive, he selected Dunn, and he gibed at him all the way. He found fault with him during the long and painful day marches, with his equipment, his care of his horse, his manner of riding. He detailed him on one-man fatigues in the daytime, and gave him all the difficult work. Dunn's rage smoldered, but the idea in the back of his mind that he would get even with Mitchell hardly assumed any tangible form. In due course they reached the store at Big Lake. Their visit was a complete surprise. Black Doe had been seen in the neighborhood, and evidently was off his guard. Mitchell ascertained that he had made no purchases, without which it would be impossible for him to continue on his way northward into the barrens. "We'll spend the night at Johnny Dufour's," he said to Crum, as the three rode away toward the shack. Dunn's heart sank when he off-saddled. Marie was already in the doorway to greet the visitors, and her eyes wandered with wonder from Dunn's face to Mitchell's. "Take my horse to the stables!" commanded Mitchell curtly. "And, say! Take Crum's, too. And see that they're well groomed before you come in to supper." Dunn went away obediently, riding his horse and leading the two others. Now he began to understand, he thought, the reason why Mitchell had selected him. He wanted to humiliate him in the eyes of the girl. At supper Mitchell kept up a cross-fire of chaff, banter, and spitefulness, directed at Dunn. Dunn's acuiescence seemed to enrage him. He would have welcomed a chance either for a brawl or for punishment for indiscipline: but Dunn only sat silently, watching Marie furtively, while the sergeant's eyes were alight with triumph. He felt that he had won, had shown Marie his superiority over Dunn. They retired to their bunks. They were to start up the trail at daybreak, on the quest for Black Doe. Dunn slept fitfully; he was thinking of Marie, and his heart was full of passionate resentment SAVING FRUIT FROM FROST ONE BUSINESS END OF FROST ALARM, THE THERMOMETER How up-to-date orchardists protect their crops and laugh at the ghost of bankruptcy by using smudge pots to drive away killing cold during the blossoming period : : : : : ITHIN the last two years another and a greater triumph of scientific horticulture has arrived; another natural enemy of the things that grow and bring forth fruit has been vanquished. Jack Frost, long king of the fruit crop, has been dethroned. Fruit growers have literally built millions of fires under him, and burned him out. Scientific orchard heating has made it possible to raise the temperature of a 200-acre orchard ten to fifteen degrees with as much certainty as the janitor can heat the city man's flat. It takes somewhat more labor than the last mentioned process, but the satisfaction and the profits of "heating all outdoors" are surpassingly greater. Frost insurance for the fruit crop is now just as practicable, just as certain, and vastly more profitable for the money expended than either fire or life insurance Insurance by fire for the fruit grower makes vastly greater profits at a much smaller expense than insurance against fire does for the merchant or manufacturer. The little outdoor oil stoves and cool furnaces that have been sold by the millions to orchard owners in the last year; and a half have banished from the fruit grower that annual early spring nervous prostration from fear of frost; that periodic, paralyzing fear that he may go to bed at night and awaken to find his whole year's labor chilled to death by a sudden frost. The cumulative despair of losing three or four fruit crops in succession that has put fruit growers out of business and made them dependent on charity or day labor is past. An orchard with a reasonably industrious and provident owner can be made to yield an average crop every season so far as the frost is concerned. Scientific frost fighting with fire is as much a fact as seed testing, irrigation, fertilizing, spraying or pruning. It is the last and greatest advance in systematic horticulture, and has placed the fruit grower abreast of the scientific farmer. Since the beginning of commercial horticulture, the fruit grower has been at the mercy of the elements. He made all his calculations, all his plans, all his business arrangements contingent on the hope that the frost would miss him. And before the development of orchard heating the chances against him were getting worse in the frost belt. In the modern, commercial orchard, the land, machinery, labor, spraying equipment and cultivation total as heavy an investment as many manufacturing enterprises. And when two or three crops in succession were wiped out by frost, the average grower was completely bankrupt. Smudging, or the formation of a dense blanket of smoke over the orchard, had been practiced with varying degrees of success in some parts of Europe. Orchard heating proper was first used in California, and the original California smudge pot is still successfully employed in many orchards. In the spring of 1910 several growers in the Grand valley of Colorado experimented with the burning of oil in simple pots of the "lard pall" type, with the result that they saved their entire crop on the heated areas and lost it on the unheated tracts. The spring of 1911 saw the adoption of the smudge pot on every fruit section of the state, and they reached the experimental stage in several other states. In the spring of 1912 there was not a fruit growing state without them, and many sections of several states were as fully equipped as Colorado. Frost fighting is not an easy job. It is necesary to have a force of men, industrious and careful and observing to the last degree. And it is no pleasant task to rush out into the still, cold darkness to drudge the better part of the night to save your own or your neighbor's orchard. In the early days of orchard heating, a man was detailed to watch the tested thermometers that were hung in different parts of the orchard and at the farm house some distance away from the fruit trees. If the temperature was not sinking fast, perhaps the rancher went to bed for a brief nap, setting his alarm clock to wake him at intervals through the night. Nowadays he can go to bed with a feeling of security, leaving the frost alarm thermometer to watch for him. This electric watchman has for its business end in the orchard a specially made thermometer, with a fine platinum wire fused into the mercury at the freezing point or at whatever is considered the danger point. As soon as the mercury sinks below this wire, the circuit is broken and the alarm at the head of the orchard boss bed rings out its warning. Any interruption on the current causes the bell to ring so that if the apparatus should be put out of order it automatically tells on itself. But the orchardist is usually forewarned, ever before he goes to bed, and makes ready for the fray. Late in the afternoon he notices great fleecy.

Russia's cross of St. Andrew has a remarkable peculiarity attaching to it. All who are decorated with it have the right once to demand pardon for a Russian subject condemned to death. In the early days of the American He was the first up, and went to groom the horses. As he came back to the shack he heard Mitchell's voice and the girl's behind the open door. Mitchell had his arm round her waist and was drawing her toward him. Crum was nowhere in sight. Then Dunn knew what he meant to do. He crept back very softly to the stable and loaded his rifle. He took it in his arms, carrying it as a mother might her first born, and approached the door again. Mitchell held the girl in his arms now, and she was struggling as he tried to kiss her. Dunn, aiming deliberately, was conscious of the open door at the back of the shack, and a clump of dwarf fir about a hundred yards distant. Then he concentrated his attention upon Mitchell. Carefully he drew a bead on him so as to avoid hitting the girl. Mitchell leaped into the air, flung out his arms, and pitched head foremost. Dunn stepped into the shack. There was no need to look more than once at the dead face, or the blood oozing from the heart. Marie ran to Dunn, sobbing wildly. "You did right, the beast!" she cried. "Come with me," said Dunn. They raced to the stables, and in a moment he had freed the horses, saddled them, and placed her on the sergeant's. In another moment they were galloping across the barrens. At the time Dunn was conscious of wondering where old Dufour and Crum were. But a moment later they heard shouts behind them. They galloped frantically forward, anywhere, so long as they could win free. Crum was a man of resolution, and Dunn knew that he would take up the chase and never leave it. He reckoned on the fact that Crum's horse was the slowest of the three. The freshly falling snow would hide their tracks if they could win the country across the river bed, where a series of hummocks swelled into the Big Lake mountains. Far behind him Dunn heard a shout. He turned and looked back as he rode. Crum was standing at the door of the stable, waving his arms to him. A few minutes later Dunn, looking back, saw Crum mounted and in pursuit of them, a tiny figure upon a tiny horse. They rode madly for the dip toward the river. "We must be careful," said Marte, as they began the descent. "The rocks are dangerous." Even as she spoke her horse tripped on a projecting bowler, stumbled, and flung her face downward upon the hard bed of the frozen stream. Dunn leaped from his horse and kneeled beside her. She had been stunned by the fall; she opened her eyes and looked about her half-conscious. The horse scrambled to its feet, ran up the bank, and raced back toward the stable, followed by Dunn's horse. And Dunn, kneeling at Marie's side, knew that chance had settled his particular problem. And in the distance Crum came on inexorably. Dunn shrugged his shoulders as one who has played his last card. He carried the girl up to the top of the bank and waited for Crum, who came galloping up on his blown horse. He flung himself to his feet, panting, like his steed. "What's the matter with you, to play this crazy trick after killing him?" he shouted. Dunn smiled. "I guess you're right, Crum," he said. "Take the girl on your saddle; I'll walk. You can trust me." Crum, staring at him in apparent perplexity, lifted Marie to the saddle before him. She had fallen into a swoon again. Then he rode slowly back toward the cabin, with Dunn walking a little distance in front of him. He turned his horse away when near the stable, and went toward the little patch of stunted trees that had struck upon Dunn's attention at the moment when he raised his rifle. Dunn saw the motionless body of a man lying hidden among them. It was Black Doe. "How did you get him, Dunn?" asked Crum, dismounting and turning the body over. "See! He had just fired. You were in the nick of time." The dead man's fingers were clutched about the trigger; the rifle had been discharged; over his heart was a bullet wound. Dunn, unable to speak, accompanied Crum back to the shack. Mitchell lay where he had fallen, and old Dufour was muttering in the corner, as if he did not understand. "He got poor Mitchell a second before you fired," said Crum. "Over the heart, too. See!" Dunn looked in horror now mixed with agitation. He saw that track of the bullet through the breast and out under the rib. The missile lay upon the floor beside the inert man. It was a battered .45, such as the Indians use. Dunn's bullet had been a .303. And it had been Black Doe whom he had killed, not Mitchell. Remembering Names. If you are introduced to a stranger and don't catch his name, just call him Brown, and he'll make the correction himself. Invariably he will reply, "not Brown—Smith is my name," unless it happens to be Jones, Zim writes in Cartoons. Anhow, the odds are in your favor that it's either Smith, Brown or Jones. It is decidedly embarrassing to have a fellow step up to you with outstretched paw, a broad grin, and the expectation that you will fall on his neck. You stare at him in bewilderment, and he says: "Don't know me, do you?" You say: "Yes, I don't." "Well, well," says he, "can't guess? Now guess hard,"—meanwhile gripping your hand so that you can't skip off. "All right," say you, "I believe it's Smith." "Nope," "Brown, then?" "Nope." "Oh, I know you, you rascal. You're Jones!" "There, I knew you hadn't forgotten me," he says, the gentlelar. Paper From Grape Vines As a result of some recent experiments, it is asserted that a good grade of paper can be made from grape vines.

By seven o'clock the government thunderometer is at 37 and falling fast. As 7:30 o'clock the telephones the weather man and gets the reply "Bitter cold all over the country; temperature is already down to thirty-seven in many parts of the valley and will drop to twenty degrees on the western slope of Colorado tonight." By eight o'clock it has fallen to 32, his alarm begins to ring and he knows that King Frost with his ice-fingers warriors is marching on the camp. Steam whistle are beginning to shriek all through the valley to warn the growers of the all-night siege.

Already the early ones and firing heavily. Clouds of smoke hang low over the trees, and the little spots of fire beneath puncture the blackness with rays of hope. The orchard firemen dash for the trees, a torch in one hand, and a gasoline can to aid in quick lighting in the other. Dashing a few drops of gasoline on the oil, they apply the torch, and the blast is at work. The lighting is done as fast as the men can walk through the orchard, leaving a trail of smoke and fire behind them. In fifteen minutes each man has his tract of orchard transformer into a sea of fame under a cloud of smoke. Then comes the first period of rest. The magician in the packing house or barn, for lunch, smoke, making occasional trips to the orchard to see that the fire is doing its work. By nine o'clock the thermometers outside the orchard reorder 28 and those in the area of heat show a comfortable 37. Then the frost fighters know that the battle is half won, for keeping up the temperature is a good deal easier than raising it when it has once reached the limit. The rest is a matter of vigilance. If the heater is of the regulated type with enough fuel to burn through the night, longer, a few men are left to watch and open the burners wider if a later sudden fall of temperature shows that more fire is needed. If the heater are of the uniform single-burner type, they need to be reflamed when they are nearly burned on if the frost battalion should come back for another charge. The outside thermometers drop to 24, and those in the orchard stand at 30, the danger man of the orchard frost fighter. The heaters are opened wider, or refilled if burning low, and the mercury shoots up to 33. The eight degrees of frost has been driven away, and if the oil supply is plentiful, and the labor unflagging, the orchard may now consider the battle won. When the sun has shed his rays over the trees long enough to make the outside temperature more nearly that of the orchard, the heaters are shut off by mere putting on the covers. Heating in the spring of 1911 was much easier than that of the year before, and proved more collatively than ever the effectiveness of the fire. The crop in the Colorado fruit area for 1911 averaged about 55 per cent.

The lighting is done as fast as the men can walk through the orchard, leaving a trail of smoke and fire behind them. In fifteen minutes each man has his tract of orchard transformed into a sea of flame under a cloud of smoke. Then comes the first period of rest. The men gather in the packing house or barn, for lunch or smoke, making occasional trips to the thermometers to see that the fire is doing its work. By 9:30 o'clock the thermometers outside the orchard register 28, and those in the area of heat show a comfortable 37.

PAN TYPE OF RESERVOIR HEATER yielded from 20 to 75 per cent of a crop, while the yield of the protected orchards was from 95 to 100 per cent, so heavy that thinning was necessary in many of them. Individual testimony to the efficiency of orchard heating in every fruit growing state could be multiplied indefinitely. Fruit crops valued at $250 to $750 an acre were frequently saved at a cost of seven to ten dollars an acre. One Colorado grower, for instance, with 50 heaters to the acre raised the temperature of his 40-acre orchard from 18 to 28 degrees and produced 41 carloids of apples. One of the most remarkable stories of heater success comes from Missouri. A 240-acre orchard located in a deep valley had suffered severely from frost every year and had not produced a full crop for 14 years. Against the advice of all wise-acres, two brothers from Kansas City bought it, and equipped it with 5,000 heaters of the controlled or graduated type. With 35 or 40 pots to the acre, the firing was done for four nights at the time the apples were in bloom. They harvested a crop of 15,000 barrels, valued at $45,000, and it was the only crop in that fruit-growing territory. The net profit on each acre approximated $200. The first cost of installing an oil-heating plant is higher than for a coal or wood outfit, but the results in time saved and efficiency gained have made it the most popular fuel. Oil can be obtained in quantity at prices ranging from four to seven cents a gallon, and it makes a quick, strong and easily controlled heat. One man can care for from three to five acres of orchard for four or five hours and this is about as long as it will be necessary to burn under ordinary frost conditions. The prices of the oil heaters range from twelve cents for a simple "hard-pail" type to 45 cents for one of the controlled fire-area type, holding there gallons and burning at full capacity for ten or twelve hours, or even longer if regulated for a smaller blaze. yielded from 20 to 75 per cent of a crop, while the yield of the protected orchards was from 95 to 100 per cent, so heavy that thinning was necessary in many of them.

Too proud to beg, and finding himself on the verge of starvation because of the impoverishment of his noble family in Europe, Count Franz Lazarini, a remittance man well known in Central America, went to a jungle near Managua, Nicaragua, and kept himself alive for five months by eating monkey flesh and roots and berries, according to reports to marine corps headquarters there. A party of United States marines while on a big game hunting expedition discovered the titled foreigner and took him back to the Nicaraguan capital. The count, half starved and nearly mad because of the privation he had suffered, fought his rescuers and begged them to let him remain in the jungle, the reports say. The marines overpowered him, however, and are now attempting to nurse him back to health and reason at their commodious barracks in the American legation.

In a Pasadena, Cal., front yard there stands an old sycamore stump about ten feet high. Near the top are the stubs of two branches. The owner of the property lately conceived the idea of using the stump for a lamp-post, and in the top at the end of each branch he has placed electric light bulbs, connected with the powerhouse in the usual way. The result has been picturesque in the extreme, especially on a very dark night. In a Pasadena, Cal., front yard there stands an old sycamore stump about ten feet high.

Realizing that bass feel the hot weather, Hibbard Raymond placed a cake of ice in a rocky cove in Lake Keuka, N. Y., and soon caught eight fine fish DESSERT OF MERIT CHARLOTTES EASY TO,MAKE AND WILL BE LIKED. Sponge Cake the Foundation of Delicacy That Is Worthy of a Place on Every Luncheon or Tea Table. Charlottes are easily made, and as they can be varied widely, they are worth serving often. The foundation of a charlotte is a case of sponge cake filled with whipped cream. Lady fingers or small sponge cakes cut in two, or slices of sponge cake cut in narrow strips, can be used for the case. The sponge cake, in whatever form, can be placed as a lining to a glass dessert dish, or it can be placed in individual dessert glasses. Lady fingers can be split and piled log-cabin fashion and the cream put into them. Or the sponge cake can be put around the sides and bottom of a mold and held in place with a little liquid gelatin. When the gelatin hardens the cream is put in. This combining gelatin and sponge cake and whipped cream leads to much variety. Lemon, orange, wine and grape-juice jelly are delicious used in this way. As for the charlotte filling of whipped cream, that, too, can be varied. Stiff egg whites can be folded into whipped cream to increase the bulk and make the mixture Eighter if desired. The cream should not be sweetened too highly. It can be flavored simply with vanilla. Candied fruits can be cut into tiny shreds and mixed in the whipped cream. Orange pulp cut into bits can be mixed with sweetened whipped cream. Stewed figs can be cut into small bits and mixed with the filling for a charlotte. Fresh berries of any sort almost, especially strawberries and red raspberries, can be mixed into the cream for a charlotte russe. A big sponge cake can be hollowed out inside and the charlotte filling piled into the cavity. Many desserts have interesting histories. This is one of them. But nobody is sure of its history. The French claim that Charlotte de Medici either originated this dessert or that it was named for her, and the English say it is a namesake of Charlotte, queen of George III. Hungarian Tongue. Take a fresh beef tongue, put in stew pan with a carrot, an onion, a clove of garlic, a bay leaf, a teaspoonful of salt, a dozen pepper-corns, half a fresh lemon, sliced, and as much water as will cover it. Let it boil, then draw saucepan to the side of the fire, simmer gently until the tongue is quite tender. Take off the skin and trim the tongue neatly; strain and reduce gravy. Mix a table-spoonful of flour very smoothly with two ounces of butter. Keep stirring over the fire until it is lightly browned, and steam a bruised clove of garlic in the browning. Add gradually three-quarters of a pint of gravy and when quite smooth and thick stir in the juice of half a lemon. Pour a little of the sauce into the dish with the tongue, and send rest to table in a tureen. Garnish the dish with parsley and sliced lemon. Two hours to simmer tongue. Sufficient for eight or nine people. Crullers. Make a stiff batter of one cupful of lukewarm milk, one yeast cake dissolved in one-quarter cupful of lukewarm water, one teaspoonful salt and flour. Let rise one hour, add one cupful of sugar, one-quarter cupful butter melted, three eggs well beaten, one-half nutmeg grated, and flour enough to make a stiff dough. Let rise again, toss on a floured board, pat and roll out. Cut in strips, three-quarter-inch wide and ten inches long, let rise again on a floured board, then twist and pat into deep fat. Fry until delicately browned, drain on brown paper and sprinkle with sugar. Herring and Cheese Canapes. Prepare the canapes by cutting slices of bread half an inch thick, then stamping out two small rounds from each slice. Fry a light color and spread with the herring paste. Meanwhile put about a cupful of leftover cheese in a small saucepan and stand it in a vessel of boiling water on the stove. Add two tablespoonfuls of milk and a piece of salatender the size of a small bean. Stir frequently until it is quite smooth. Then put the prepared canapes on a bakepan and divide the melted cheese equally over them and put in the oven about five or six minutes to heat. Serve immediately on hot plates. Duck With Peas. Put the duck in a deep steewan with a piece of butter (single at first), flour it and turn it two or three times, then pour out all the fat. Put the duck in a pint of good gravy, the same of peas, two lettuces cut small, sweet herbs, pepper and salt; cover close and stew half an hour. When well done thicken with a little butter and flour, shake all together three or four minutes and serve in a dish, the duck with the sauce poured over it. Plum Whip. Cut blue plums in halves, stew in sirup until tender, drain and rub through a coarse sieve enough of the pulp to make one cupful. Beat the whites of four eggs to a standing froth, add the plum pulp gradually and beat for 20 minutes. Serve with a custard sauce flavored with vanilla. To Remove Egg Shells. If, when breaking eggs into a bowl, a piece of shell gets into the egg just touch it with the half shell and it can be easily removed. Mustard for the Handa. Ground mustard is excellent for cleaning the hands after handling ontons and other strong smelling things.

THE SHAMEFUL RECORD OF DEMOCRATIC il ag Millions of Dollars Appropriatéd Which Can- not Be Paid—Gardner Land Bank Scheme Impractical ; Vols Gardner BAS Spoken Approving: Jy of the record of the present Demo- ¢ratio administration, but I under- stand that ho spoke in a very low tone of voleo, apparently hoping that he would not bo heard. ‘Will Col. Gardner and his Demo- cratic assoctates stand up before the People of Mixsourl and tuto exactly What there. is In the record of the Major adminiwtration that they rogard -BtAvine, capable and efficient"? Do ‘they so regard the bankrupt condition of the state treasury, with {ts millions ot dollars of appropriations'for which there is no revenue? Do they so ro gard the increase of useloss offices and the appointment of mombors of families and relatives of Democratic ftato officials? Do they so regard the attempted rald upon the school fund of the state which tho depletion of the general revenue fund necessitated? Do they 20 regard the conduct of the po- lice and excise affatrs in St. Josoph for tho last four years, or the action of the Kansas City police department in the last clty election? Do they ap- prove of the manner in which the Biio- ‘ouri penitentiary has been run for the last four years? Does Col. Gard- ner, who poses as a great friend of organized labor and who once signed tho appeal bond for some con- victed dynamiters, approve of the cow- ardly failure of the present adminis- tration to enact a workmen's compen- sation law in thfs state? If Col. Gara: ‘ner asserts that it is the “construc- tive and progressive laws” enacted during the last four years of which he ‘approves, I challenge him to tell the people of Missouri if it {s not true that the Democratic members of the Legislature defeated, during my term of office, a Dill establishing a board ft pardons and paroles, the Pubitc Service Commission act, an act au- ‘thorizing commission form of govern ment for the cities, an act establish ing a state reformatory for juvenile offenders, and then which they pro ceeded to pass, with an emergency clause, as soon as I was out of office I would also Iike to have the distin guishel Colonel tell the people wheth er he approves of the act of the pres ent administration tn passing a homé rule measure for the city of St. Lout: and then directing a successful figh against {t on a referendum vote wher St. Louts elected a Republican Mayor Nor am I going to discuss in detai Col. Gardner's land bank measure, be cause it 1s, at the best, but a mino fssue in this campaign. I will say however, that if Col. Gardner had dis played no better judgment in the man ufacture and sale of coffins than he 1 displaying in urging this measure o1 the people of Missourl he certainl; would never have made a million dol Jars in his business. For if there it ‘ny merit in or demand for a system of rural credits in this country, whic I very seriously doubt, the nationa law on this subject will supply al that is likely to be needed by the pres ent generation. I remember that 1912 President Taft called a confer ence of governors at Washington t consider this question. Myron B. He: rick, Ambassador to France, who hai made a study of the question, wa ‘asked to explain how it had worked continental Europe. Tho Presiden ‘also made a short address; a fow go ernors who had investigated the sut fect also spoke. “And then someon happened to notice that James Wilsor ‘who for 16 years had been at tho hea of tho Agricultural Department of th nation, was present, and he was aske to give the meeting his opinion as t the practicability of a system of rar A Re PEN MISSOURI FARMERS.

During the first three years of the Wil- son administration there was an average of 18,824 commercial failures @ year, this being an in- orease of 86 per cent." During tho last three years of the Taft administration the lia- bilities of commercial failures averaged $198,045,384 a yoar, During tho first three years of the Wilson administration the Habilities of commercial failures averaged $810,955,765 a year, this boing an increase of 66 per cent, How does this compare with the claims of Democratio parti sans regarding the “prosperity” ‘they so loudly boast of?

Ho stated that he had lt» tened, with interest, to the able dis cusstons on the subject, but that he feared the speakers had fallod to com sider,the difference in conditions tn this “country and in continental Europe; that complete co-operation on tho part of the farmers who sought to avail thomselvos of such a system of cpedits was neoossary; that in Europe this was possible, because the farm era did not live upon thelr farms, but Hived in farm villages and wore in dally communteation and intercourso, while in thts country the farmers live on widely separated farms and onch wes accustomed, for generations, to attend to his own business and look after his own intcrosts, That when an American farmer wanted to bor Tow money he did not and would not go to bis nolghbors and get up an as soclation by which he and thoy could do 80 on a lower rato of interest; that would take too much timo and trouble. Ho would go to a bank or a loan agent and ho would oxocute his loan upon his own porsonal credit and re- sponsibility. After these observations of this hard-headed and experienced old Scotchman the audience sat quiot for a while, somebody started to make Bome remarks on some other question, the meeting gradually dissolved and nothing more was hoard upon fural credits until the academic and theo- retical mind of Woodrow Wilson caused him to urge this monsure for adoption on Congress. ‘What is the situation confronting ust The stato treasury 1s hopelessly bankrupt if the obligation of out standing appropriations and available revenue are considered.

Jefferson City, Mo—While such peerless statesmen as Vest and Ben- ton go unhonored, D. C. McClung, present warden of the Missouri state penitentiary and formerly chairman of the Democratic State Committee, bas erected to himself a permanent monument at Jefferson City, This brazen piece of unmitigated effront- ‘try has shocked the sense of propor ton of the thinking people of the whole state, although the park ts pop- ular at Jefferson City, especially among #8, “royal families” who fre- quently ise it for private parties. Al- though the park is erected on state property belonging to all the people of Missouri, it is understood that per- mission from McClung is necessary before the general public may use he improvements there, The park includes a splendid batb- ing beach of concrete approximately 100 by 160 feet. Some of the cement for this was pald for by private sub- scription in Jefferson City. Near by {a a stone bathhouse built with con: vict labor with the words “McClung Park” across the porch. Across the Stone entrance to the park McCluns has again placed his name permanent ly, and also on the dance hall, The dancing pavilion {s the only state dancing pavilion in the United States It is of stone and it has been est! mated that It cost between $20,000 anc $80,000. McClung permits the public to dance there, the music being fur nished by a convict orchestra, Gov Major and his friends participate fre quently. Where McClung got his authority t exercise complete control, or fron whence the money came to build th improvements of McClung Park, {s no definitely known, An obsolete sys tem of accounting places the manage ‘ment of the prison finances solely 1 the warden’s hands. Reporters hav been refused admission to the publi records time after time, McClung fre quently breaking into oaths when pet mission to seo the records 1s asked Hence, when McClung refuses admis sion to the records there is no plac the detailed information concernin penitentiary expenditures can be ol tained. While this Is going on the stat penitentiary 1s thousands of dollars bi hind in running expenses. In Noven ber, 1913, $25,000 was borrowed fro1 the National Bank of Commerce an in April, 1914, $50,000 was borrowe from the samé bank It is underetoo too, that the penitentiary is heavily | debt to Jefferson City banks.

Reed’s attack of Jones of the Har vester Trust, also his attack of the Clayton law, are in the Congressional Record and would make good reading at this time, especially to refute his claim that he hus been a supporter of ‘Wilson. Reed, as a member of the Judictary Committee of the Senate, told fellow senators that he would fight the con- firmation of Justice Brandeis to the bitter end and {t was largely because of his opposition that the long fight against Brandets was started. But Reed capitulated, with election in sight, just as he has reversed bimself on hundreds of other questions.
