Hadley Again Shown Up.

In a recent speech at Jackson,
Mr.. Cowherd made the charge that
the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Asso-
citation made a contribution of
S12,500 to the Missouri Republican
campaign fund in 1904. Mr.. Cow
herd also said that this matter had
been investigated by a committee
of the Missouri senate and proven
to be true. He asserted that this
contribution violated the laws of
Missouri; that this violation had
been brought to the attention of
Mr.. Hadley, the attorney-general,
but that that the latter had refused
to prosecute the AnheuSer-Busch
Brewing Association.
A few days latter. in a speech at
Poplar Bluff, Mr.. Hadley attempted
to reply to Mr.. Cowherd's charge
and asserted that the $12,500 con-
tribution had been made by Mr..
Adolphus Busch and not by the
brewery corporation. Unfortunately
for Mr., Hadley, the sworn testimony
of Mr.. Busch, given before the SEN
ate investigating committee in 1905,
is a matter of record. His testl-
mony, printed in the Republic Oct.
list, shows that Mr.. Cowherd's
charge is true and that Mr.. Hadley's
denial is untrue.
The record, therefore, shows that
Mr.. Hadley was the beneficiary, in
1904, of the contribution thus made
by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
Association to the Republican state
campaign fund.
In the present campaign, Mr.
Hadleys St. Louis manager is Mr.
Otto Stifel, the head of another big
brewery association, and the voters
of Missouri are well informed as to
that fact. Carthage Democrat.

Senator Stone.

While ambitious and egotiStical
politicians claiming to possess all
the virtues, and to have discovered
the Ten Commandments, are boast
ing of what they have done for the
people of Missouri, and on this &C
count asking for political perfer-
ment, and at the same time decry-
ing the claims of all those who may
oppose them, the friends of Senator
Stone may justly and with conf
dence invite the attention of the
Democratic voters of Missouri to
his splendid public record as Con-
gresham, Governor and Senator, in
all of which he has rendered con-
spicuous public service to the peO-
pie of the state and nation. Joplin

For Teachers.

1t is interesting to note that the
slide rule, which but lately has be-
come universally used for calcula-
tons, was invented nearly 800 years
ago. An article in Zeitschrift fur
VermeSSungsWeSen calls, attention
to the fact that Gunter, shortly af-
ter his bringing out the trigono-
metric logarithm tables in 1920,
placed logarithmic scales on wood
ell rules, and used pair of dividerS
to add or subtract the logarithmS.
In 1927 these logarithmic scales
were drawn by Wingate on two
separate wooden rules, sliding
against each other, so las to render
the use of dividers unnecessary and
in 1857, or over $50 years ago,
Partride brought out the slide rule
in its present form. Scientific

NEGROES TO
FIGHT TAFT.
Declare Against Him In Conven-
ton.


Pittsburg, Oct. 16. The eastern
and interstate negro press conven-
ton being held here adopted a dec
laration Of principles and a set of
resolutions yesterday in which SEN
ator Foraker and Governor Deneen
of Illinois were lauded, while the
administration of President Roose-
welt and the attitude of Candidate
William II. Taft are censured
Foraker's defense of negro soldiers
and Deneen's course in the Spring
field riots are especially commend
ed. Negroes are urged to support
Foraker for any position to which
he may aspire, and to defeat Taft
because the resolutions say not on
ly on account of objections to him
self but because Roosevelt will
virtually be the power behind the
throne if Taft is elected"

Hadley's Campaign.


of which should cause him to be
repudiated OF the polls by every
Missourian who loves his state. Mr..
Hadley has abandoned his party's
platform and posing as a reformer,
proclaims from the very housetops
that corruption and crime are run
ming rampant in Missouri.
Herbert S. Hadley is not the first
candidate who has attempted to
win votes from the people of Mis-
souri, by maligning them, but he is
the most viciously persistent.
1t is very evident that the Re-
publican nominee for governor cares
nothing for the honor and reputa-
ton of the commonwealth which
has honored him with a high Office
and is furnishing him a livelihood.
His personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT is of
more Importance to him than any
affection he might hear for his
adopted state, says the Kansas City
Post.
And this man, who would blast
the honor of his state for an office,
poses as a reformer and proclaims
that he is the one man that can
lead the people of Missouri out Of
the wilderness of crime by which
he declares they are surrounded
What is his record as a reformer?
Has he effected any reforms that
have redounded to the good of the
people? His predecessor in Office,
Mr.. c. E. Crow, collected $4,000
in fines from trusts when he was
attorney-general of Missouri. This
is just $4,000 more than Herbert
S. Hadley has collected.
A leading St. Louis brewer teSti-
fled upon oath before a senate in
investigating committee that his
brewery gave $500, that he per-
sonally gave $4,000 and that
another St. Louis brewer gave &c.
600 to the Republican campaign
fund in 1904, when Mr.. Hadley was
a candidate for attorney-general.
Has Hadley prosecuted this brew
cry corporation as it is his duty tc
do under the law? No, indeed. He
needs such corporations in his bust,
ness of running for office and run,
ming for Office has been his principal
occupation since he came to Mis-,
souri, from Kansas.
Herbert Hadley has been going
into the small towns and country
districts of this state and shouting
holy denunciation of the liquor
traffic while at the same time he
has been holding in tender clasp
the hand of Otto Stifel, a St. Louis
brewer, who is one of Hadley's cam
paign managers.
Yet Hadley is standing upon his
record as reformer. The voice i;
the voice of Hadley, the self-pro
claimed purist, but the hand is the
hand of the selfish politician whose
name will be a byword in Missouri

RAYS AND SKATES.
They Are Known to Fishermen as the
Jokes of the Sea.

They Are Known to Fishermen as the
Jokes of the Sea.
The rays and skates are the jokes of
the sea. Their bodies are as fat as
the pancakes made by the man in
white on griddle in the window of a
beef and" restaurant. Their eyes
look upward, and they have tails as
slender and tapering as the whip of
a ringmaster of circus.
In the United States the most com
mon rays are called skates" The
whip tailed rays because of their long,
slender tails with their erectile spines
at the end, capable of inficting severe
and dangerous wounds, are frequently
called sting rays. The common sting
ray feeds on oysters, CLAIMS and other
valuable mollusks and in the Atlantic
waters is known as the "clam cracker"
OF the skates the commonest as well
as the smallest species on the Atlantic
coast is known as the tobacco box;
the largest is aptly called the barn
door, On the western coast of the
United States is found the big skate,
which reaches a length of six feet,
two feet larger than its eastern rela-
tive.
Because Of it's habit of rolling itself
up when caught the common skate has
been called bonnet skate" 1t is also
known as the hedgehog ray"
On the New Jersey coast the trawl
fishermen cut off the broad, feshy
wings" and they are sold for sad
dies" sometimes bringing 8 and even
10 cents a pound These men call the
fish "possum,' "sea possum" and bob
tailed skate" AS a rule. anglers throw
the fish back into the water as being
of no value.

Its forms of life must be not only ter

as opposed to terraqueous ones. 1t

embrace them, but that further point
Of pinching poverty where brain Is

The struggle for existence in the
planets decrepitude and decay would
tend to evolve intelligence to cope with
circumstances growing momentarily
more and more adverse. But, further
more the solidarity that the condi-
tons prescribed would conduce to a
breadth of understanding sufficient to
utilize it. Intercommunication over the
whole globe is made not only possible,
but obligatory This would lead to the
easier spreading over it of some domi-

a friend of the sitter came to look at

was nearsighted and not particularly

nervous at the approach Of the finger
