Duties required of the marine are not

quartered at some station. Aboard the ship
he takes no part IN manning the craft; but
acts in the capacity of a policeman. He is

FAvoRs FOLK FOR GOVERNOR.
Fulton Gazette Says Circuit Attor-
ney Is Entitled to Place.

kEEl Bl.lt SIEtlAib
Fulton. Mo. June 26.-The Fulton Gazette.
Democratic. in an editorial published to-
day. commits itself to the candidacy Of
Joseph W. Folk for Governor OF Missouri.
The editorial commends the work of Mr..
Folk and urges his nomination az IAN
earnest of the Democratic party'S SYM
pathy with the cause of boodle-crushing.
Concluding. the editorial says:
The people are for him. They would
rather give him the Office than have him
seek it They are a-weary with the self
seeking place-hunting tims-serving poll
ticians. They are sick and tired of chicanery
and intrigue. They want 4 man of the law
brave enough to use the law. They would
like to see the caravan of political vam-
pires that marches regularly up to the cap
ital dissipated 10 the four winds They
would like to have the whole of the mis-
cradle tale of official corruption unfolded
50 that every guilty man might be pun
ished They would like for the Legislature
of the State to De something more than
market-place. where votes are bought and
sold. They want man to clear off the
mud. to purge the State of its felons.

Recommendation has been made by Lieu
tenant ]. ". Broatch. who is in charge of
the Marine Corps recruiting station in the
old Post Office building at Third and Olive
streets, that a permanent office for receiv-
ing applicants be established here. When
the matter has been given consideration hy
Charles +. Haywood. Major General Com
mandant, it is expected that favorable ac-
tion will be taken.
Since the station was opened one month
ago in ST. Louis" said Lieutenant Broatch,
I'VE have secured larger number of APP
pliCants thar at any other recruiting place.
The class of applicants is better than that
which usually applies for positions in the
service, the men seem to be better adapted
10 the duties and more suitable, physically.
than we find, as n rule. elsewhere.
1T may be that the competition of the
Merchant Marine prevents the corps from
getting good material in the sea-coasr
towns. but it is a fact that in the inland
cities we get our best marines. They seem
to be not only of satisfactory quality, but
are mbued with a certain quality of pa
triotic interest that makes them specially
desirable.
SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES
FOR MARINE RECRUITS.
Just now splendid opportunities are Of
fered TO the young man who enlists in the
Marine Corps, which, while part of the
naval service, is separate in Its organiza-
ton. The marines are the soldiers of the
navy, or the naval police. They fight on
land and sea. and see service everywhere
the flag goes.
Not many persons know" said Lieuten-
ant Broatch, with considerable pride, that
the marines are older than the navy. They
fought with Washington. in the Revolution,
with jackson at New Orleans, with Taylor
in Mexico. with the Union Army at the
battle of Bull Run. with the Americans in
Cuba and the Philippines. and defended the
legations at Peking, when besieged by the
Chinese troops.
owing to the expiration of the terms of
enlistment of n large number of men who
entered the service in 1925, and owing to the
fact that Congress has provided for in
creasing the corps. chance is afforded
nearly every American boy who wants
few years of experience on the seas to Join
the marines at this time. Stations are open
in nearly all of the large cities of the
United States and no applicant who comes
up to the requirements is rejected

BACKWARD CROP CONDITIONS
OPPKESSES RETAIL TRADE,
Uncertainties of the Situation
Causes Conservatism in Placing
Orders for the Future.

New York June OR. G. Dun & Co s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say
No definitely unfav orable element is APPARENT In
the business situation, but there several un-
certainties that engender conservatism. In re-
gard to distribution OF merchandise the long
period of low temperature has curtailed trade IN
dry goods. clothing and other seasonable lines
Stocks have accumulated and prospects for
semiannual inventories are not altogether en-
couragine. Railway earnings thus far available
for June surpass last years by lO.2 per cent and
exceed those OF 1901 by IA per cent.
After further moderate concessions in prices of
iron and STEEL especially in pig iron and partly
finished shapes. the market has steadied. and
there indications that no additional Teduc-
tons of consequence are probable for the pres
ent. Buyers are still uncertain as 10 whether the
bottom has been reached. and there is no eager
ness to place contracts.
Concessions are no longer readily obtained.
however and the tone is improving. While It is
well known that a large amount OF new ma
chinery is specified in plants in course OF erec-
ton. or contemplated. there is an inclination 10
delay the placing contracts as long as possible.
Much Of interest has developed during the last
week in regard TO the foreign situation.
Contracts for steel rails placed abroad,
presumably because OF early shipment required
while rebate OF duty on materials for manufac-
ture and export encouraged foreign trade. which
has begun 10 revive as the domestic market
ouiets.
Manufacturers Of cotton goods have again ad-
vanced quotations in several lines. notably sheet
;nGs. although there is no attempt to secure
prices in proportion 10 the present position of
the raw material Production is being steadily
curtailed and supplies OF goods will soon be alb
normally liSht. No improvement is reported in
chief points OF distribution. except that mod
crate success has attended the semiannual clear
! ance sales by local tobbeTs.
New lines of lghtweght woolens for next
spring are still confined to narrow and low-grade
goods Only fair supplementary demand is
noted for mems heavyweight woolens.
Wool is unchanged and quiet. New England
shoe shops are busy on fall footwear, with sut-
fcent orders on hand TO assure activity some
time.
Failures this week were 213 In the United
States against 800 last year. and 10 in Canada.
