WAS IN OLD SETTLER
Deceased Leaves a Large Num-
Der OF Relatives and Friends
Buried March io

Impressive funeral services
were held at Old, Appplecreek
church after which all that was
mortal of this grand old mother
in Israel was tenderly conveyed
to our Silent City, where, by the
side of a devoted husband she
now rests in peace.
The deceased was the mother
of a large and gifted family,
many of whom now have "silver
threads among the gold" as a
reminder that they, too, are
nearing life's sunset.
None ever entered her home
without a warm welcome nor
left without feeling the warmth
of a genuine hospitality, so
characteristic of the people of
her ancestry. Disease did not
destroy the charm of a kind in
dulgent disposition, nor old age
diminish her unselfsh solicitude
for her friends and loved ones.
Adhering to the faith of her
fathers, she united with the
Presbertern church and
loved to attend its services
when health permitted. While
she has continued to enjoy the
society of her friends and
children. she has for several
years, realized that her active
life was over and with resigna-
tion awaited the Divine call
from death unto life.

GREETED BY LARGE CROWD
National Lecturer for W. c. 7. u.
Makes a Good Talk ip Favor
Of Local Option

On last Sunday night as was
previously announced Miss Roena
Shaner lectured in the Methodist
church of this city. She was
greeted with a full house,
the church was crowded to listen
to one of Jackson's best young
ladies. Every one knows Miss
Shaner and they respect and love
her. 1t was gratifying to her to
see so many of her friends and
former pupils in the audience.
She said words could not express
the appreciation that she felt.
Her address was good, full of
wisdom and thought and the
speaker was at her best ard
made a lasting impression on her
hearers. This fine audience
proved conclusively that one who
really deserves honor in her own
country gets it when the proper
times comes, and this time came
for Miss Shaner last Sunday
night. The speaker said that she
regretted very much that she
could not be in this country dur
ing the present local option
campaign as her time is engaged
for the next three months in
three different states. She hst
here for Maryland, Wednesday.
The best wishes and fond re-
memberences of her many
friends here go with her where
ever she may labor.

the HOME G0MERS
What This Association Will Do
For Jackson and Cape
County

The Home-commers .associa-
tion, what is it? This associa-
tion organized at jackson a few
months ago, and of which every
inhabitant of Cape Girar6eau
County, past and present, should
become a member, has now ,be-
come a fixed, and we, believe, a
permanent institution. 1t is the
object of this association to have
each year in the last week of
August a meeting of three days
duration at Jackson, the County
seat of Cape Girardeau County.
The object of these meetings is,
to bring together as many as
may be induced to come of the
former residents of this County.
that are now scattered all over
the United States, and to make
this affair more enjoyable one,
this association has undertaken
to furnish a series of entertain
ments for the people that will
come. These entertainments will
consist of several attractions and
exhibits. The encampment of
the 9th Regiment, N, G. Mo.
will be held at Jackson during
that time, and that within itself,
with its $50 to 500 men drilling
and parading, and it's target
practice, its splendid 9th Regi-
ment Band and its sham battles,
will be worth miles coming to
see and hear.
This being a campaign year, all
of the political parties will have
their best speakers on the
grounds. Besides the Governor
of the state, who will come to
review the 9th Regiment, there
will be men of national reputa-
tion, candidates for the several
state offices for congress, and,
perhaps, those for the United
States Senate.
The business men of Jackson
will have a street fair, the farm
ers a stock exhibit, and other
attractions will be added as they
can be obtained, among them
being an exhibit of relics, which
have bearing on the history of
Cape Girardeau County, and
South East Missouri, such as
rare old coins, indian relics,
souveniers of the Civi War, etc.
There is no doubt but that there
will be enough attractions to
keep every visitor busy every
hour of the three days, and part
of the nights. So everyone had
better make up his mind to at
tend. Jackson is, a good place
to go to anyway. Fine streets,
waterworks goodlights and the
most hospitable people in the
State.

Wallace Republican Convention.

The delegates have returned to their homes, and
sufficient time has elapsed to estimate the intentions
of the republicans of the state who are in control of
that party.
In the first place matter what else happens Sen
ator Hepburn is not to control the federal patronage

the senate. And in he is defeated for the SEN

certain. He and his friends fully understand this
Unfortunately for Hepburn he is not in good
position to urge the nomination of senator. Again,
it was known two years ago that the democrats
would nominate senator in state convention. Borah
made effective of this knowledge
1t is known now, that the democrats will not nom
mate senator this time. All signs point to an
open field for the senatorship.
Our sympathies are with Hepburn but unless he
makes terms with the Mormons pretty soon he will
not be in the running The republicans of the state
powerless to help him and we cannot see how he
can help himself
We like Barney ONei personally, and will advise
with him. Do not take the word of Bishop Hart,
Barney as token of what the Mormons will do
Bishop Hart doesn't know what he himself will do in
regard to the senatorship His orders will come to
him in due time from Salt Lake. Go to Salt Lake,
Barney, and find out definitely and positively and
govern yourself accordingly.
Senator Smoot knows Senator Hepburn had
better have his understanding with Smoot Joseph
F. will accept the advice of Smoot as to whether or
no Hepburn will be satisfactory. Hepburn has not
been subservien enough to suit the hierarchy in the
past He has done and said things indicating i'm
patience with their methods. The Mormons would
elect Brady senator, provided suitable candidate
could be found for governor to take his place
as governor when he promoted 1t is difficult
to find a suitable Gentle to into this arrange
ment Each fears the ticket will be defeated,
if an open campaign is made on this plan.
The Mormons and the machine may conclude that
the state is strongly republican that any program
they may make will be ratified by the people
In that case, Bishop Hart might be nominated for
with the understanding that
Brady to be elected to the senate and the Bishop
thus to become governor. This arrangement would be
entirely satisfactory to the Mormons. We hardly
think times suspicious for this bold move, how
ever 1t is quite evident that the Mormons are get
ting uneasy and more arrogant They object to crit
cism by those whom they elect AS they themselves
are completely subservient to their rulers they de-
nand the same subservency from those whom they

Chamberlain is very popular and the Oregonian says
that he most likely will receive more votes than
Mr.. Cake, and that great outrage will be perpe-
trated if the legislature elects him to the Senate.
1t is conceded that large ma ory of the members
of the Oregon legislature to be elected next month
will be republicans but under Statement No. these
republicans will be required to vote for the demo-
cratic candidate Governor Chamberlain if he should
receive majority Of the votes cast by the people at
the election.
From viewpoint if the majority of the people
of the people of Oergon vote for Governor Chamber
lain for Senator the direct issue between him and
Mr. Cake, he should be elected 1t will be evident
that the people of Oregon desire Governor Chamber
lain for their senator The people of Oregon gave
Mr.. Chamberlain a majority in two elections for gov
ernor his republican opponent, thus indicating
that they desired the democratic Mr. Chamberlain to
be governor of Oregon rather than his republican
competitor
The people throughout all this section of the
United States in favor of the election of senator's
by direct vote The Oregon Primary Election
Law together with Statement No l. brings about this
result. This Oregon Primary Election Law certain
ly destroys the machine"
The democratic party of Idaho is on record in its
demand for a primary election law for this state
The republican party of Idaho put plank in their
platform in their last state convention, pledgng that
party to the enactment of this legislation. When the
legislature met, bills framed and introduced,
providing for primary elections; but the members of
the dominant party could not agree to the kind of
a bill it should pass, they split the details. 1t
seemed impossible for them unite in favor of any
one BILL and in consequence when the legislature adj
ourned they had failed redeem their pledge to the
people regarding this particular kind of legislation
1t may be that if the democrats again pledge the
people that they will enact primary law, and if they
come into power, they may be confronted with the
same difficulty which met the republicans and may not
be able to agree to the terms of the bill
We submit to the members of the party in the state
and also to the members of the republican party in
The state, the Oregon Primary Election Law, with
Statement No. l. 1t seems to work admirably in
Oregon The people like it because it gives them the
lirect choice of their highest official, and has de-
troyed the machine" in Oregon, which has been
most pernicous and active and powerful for many
ears
The people of Idaho would like to elect their SEN
tors by direct vote They will be offered an oppor-
unity of doing so if they adopt the Oregon plan.
t being almost certain that the democrats will de-
lare again for primary law, why not be perfectly
onest and frank with the people and tell them the
ind of primary law they will enact if given the
over.
The Scmitar expresses itself, after having with
ome examined the primary laws in number
