OF promoting prosperity and a remedy
for hard times?"
What question: Don't you know
that the democratic ticket of Montana
is headed by Toole and Pemberton, OF
Missouri? And don't you know that
that means democratic victory, not
only for the state .ticket, but also for
the Legislature? Wcll-you know the
rest. Two of the new United States
senators will not "iavor high taxes and
extravaganza as means of promoting
prosperity aud a remedy for hard
times"
Editor John w. Jacks prints the fol-
lowing paragraph in his Montgomery
Standard:
"August Standhardt returned from
Europe few days ago. He was nine
ana one nall days crossing the ocean
gong and nine days returning. Mr..
otandhardt found corn selling at 81 rs
per hundred pounds and oats at about
three times the price here. He saw no
crops anywhere on his travel through
the states or Canada as good as thew
are right here in Missouri, and seems
to think this as good as any place he
has found"
Friend Standhardti is right. He didn't
have to go to Europe to find that out,
but we arc glad he went. Travel is a
great educator for those Who can afford
it, and it is sign of prosperous times
that 80 many Missourians have seen
Europe this year.

The HarrisOnvilIe Democrat gets
right up on its pastern joints to say:
"Some one connected with the signal
| service corps recently said, New York
City is commercially hog, socially a
pig, and politically a colony of corrupt
and mercenary aliens.' The real pith
OF this remark is the truth OF if. and
the same might be said of Chicago,
truthfully, with the additional remark
that 1t Is the head-center of all the
socialists and anarchists of the country
st. Louis is the antithesis of these,
The best civilization of these United
States, commercially, socially and
politically, can be seen by the foreigners
visiting this exposition at the heart ol
the country, in the midst of its densest
population-at st. Louis, and at nc
other city on the continent"
We hope this will reach the combined
eye of Gov. Francis and Col. Jones
A man who can hit like that ought tt
be honored with place on some com
mittee, where he can hit officially.

Bob White, of the Mexico Ledger
has only time TO say:
eff the west will stick solid, 81. Loui
will get the Worlds fair"
Needn't worry, Bob. The west will
stick.
The Gallatin Democrat has the fol
lowing editorial observation, which i
well worthy of perusal as being an i'm
portant fact:
"The republican farmers last fall b
/ their ballots declared that the 'mor
, toll the miller takes the more meal j
left,' but i'll the light of present sur
roundings the farmers have change,
their views and are now very carefr
{ as to the amount of 'toll' exacted b
the miller"

The Carthage Democrat, in the dis
charge of its public duties, prints th
! following:
"The county court of the great re
} publican county of Jasper allowed
bill OF 1925 for services rendered by
l man and team six days and a secon
d. man five days. This is at a greater rat
5 than $50 per day for two meu and
5 team, allowing 50 day tor team ths
gives each man so per day. Taxpayer
how do you like it?"
. Like it? They don't like it, and the
g will tell you it isn't right; but the Jas

. way of forgetting what they suffer (
q the hands OF the republican party, an

They will know better, by-and-by.

: Editor Bradshaw, of the Leblanc
Rustic, says:
J, "The Endorsement by the Farmer

Is conclusive reasons why the farm

and they never will. Such reasons {

, OF course they do not, and of cour

the toy balloon of protection will cor
to earth with hole in its side.
