Missouri, says that the main reason
for desertion according to the uni

commissioned and n0n-commissioned
officers was the small pay, seconded
by the lack Of the canteen and result
ant trouble in dives surrounding the
army posts and "the low standard

cruits." The moral deterioration Of
the recruits is characterized as a
corollary Of the small pay given the
men.

In Missouri remarkable situation
exists under the new state primary
law, whose first application will oc-
cur August "a next. The Missouri
law provides: "The person receiv-
ing the greatest number Of votes at q
primary as the candidate Of party
for an office shall be the candidate Of
that party for such office, and his
name as such candidate shall be
placed on the official ballot at the
following election" The Republicans
of Missouri have one conspicuous
candidate for governor, but for the
Democratic nomination over twenty
candidates have been mentioned, and
many are likely to qualify. One
might get the most votes, and yetless
than q tenth cast BY his party. Such
u situation in regard to different
Offices may como about In any party
In the contest. ThiS plurality prob
lem requires thought from all who
take an active part in Missouri poll
tics. -TGlobe Democrat.

IL Thia the Reason?

III Stubs is q candidate for gov
erhor. why doesn't he say SOP" de-
mands the Abilene Reflector. Well,
there is no law either In tho moral code
or the statutes that can compel o man
to declare his designs upon any polit-
ical office, and therefore Stubs is ex-
ercising his own proper privilege.
He is, willful about 1t perhaps, but 1t
may be that the Lawrence statesman
has not yet decided just what he will
take. There Is always the governor
ship which the square dealers"
stand ready to give him. There is
also 3 senatorShip in prospect and
then there are a number Of other
possible political jobs. Among SO
many it is not hard to understand
that Stubbs would have some diff
Guilty In choosing, and 1t is doubtless
due to this hesltsncy that be has thus
far failed to make any deiinate state

The Leavenworth Times comment
| ing on the RETLBCToR's remarks CON
corning the tendency in Kansas TO-
ward smaller farms says:
eastern Kansas is not concerning
itself seriously with the question as
to whether farms are too large. With
the iucreasing population, the value
Of farm property has gone higher and
higher, and under those circumstances
the inclination has been to cut 0f an
eighty or a forty here and there and
to dispose Of It. In the past ten
years there has been o very marked
increase In the number Of farms In
Leavenworth county and this process
of distribution promises to continue.
But in particularly the wheat belt,
the owners Of vast tracts Of land may
well ask the question, are farms too
larger This year more strongly than
ever before there has been brought to
these property-holders q realization
of the fact that they can not depend
upon 1t that the labor necessary for
the harvest will be available at the
time when they want it and must
have 1t to save the crop. Improve
ments in machinery have made 1t
possible for one man TODD what would
have required the services Of several
q few years ago, and therefore the
farms will not 30 subdivided to the
extreme they would have been II the
harvest hand difficulty had been as
acute Eve or ten years ago as 1t was
this year and will always be hereafter
in prosperous times This uncertainty
Of labor, however. will make 1t neces-
sary for the wheat farmers to reduce
their acreage to q point where they
can themselves take care Of 1t In an
emergency"
