1t is a characteristic fact that, al
though several of the Spanish prov
inces, as, for instance, Malaga, Al
meria and Xeres, are admirably suited
for the growth Of tobacco, nevertheless
its culture is strictly forbidden. This
state of things, which may have had
some excuse in the days when Spain
owned Cuba and the Philippines and
desired to assist their industries, nova
days not unnaturally leads to consid-
cradle discomfort.

MISSOURI.

The Result in This Democratic state
Is in Doubt.
st. Louis, Nov. Sat 1916 o'clock
only scattering returns had been re-
turned from all portions of the State,
and the result in Missouri, both in the
State and national tickets was still in
doubt. At that time the Democratic
State committee claimed State ma
jority of $4,000, while the Republican
State committee persisted in a Re-
publican State majority of 10000.
Out of 405 precincts in st. Louis,
243 gave Parker 30,426, Roosevelt 3d.

The present Situation in Eurone

The present situation in Europe may
wholly upset the great historic alliance
and plunge the continent into devas-
Eating war, or it may lead to a sudden
solution of wars problems, restoring
even Japan and Russia to pa
citic terms. That it will be the latter
all the world hopes, but hardly dares
go so far in belief. The war clouds ap-
pear rather dense just now, but a
bright sun shines behind them.

The sledgehammer blows recently de-
livered by Judge Parker in his ad-

papers calling the attention of the
country to the Cortelyou scandal have
aroused the president to the danger to
his presidential campaign and he con-
templates taking vigorous measures to
answer them. Probably the answer
will be made by the president himself
-an unprecedented course in American
politics. Recently the president urged
Chairman Cortelyou to reply, but Cor
telyou advised ignoring. everything.
This angered the president and he
declared he would answer himself He
is said to have declared that he would
take the stump himself, but so undig-
nified a course was decided against,
and the president finally agreed to be
content to write to some well known
Republicans and permit the letter to
be given to the press.
Senator Lodge has been selected as
one of these, and it is understood the
president is now at work on the letter,
although many of his friends are urg-
ing him not to pursue this course. In
this letter the president will reply to
attacks on the fiscal policy of the ad-
ministration.
