NEW MISSOURI SENATOR

John c. Mckinley is going to be the next
United States senator from Missouri To the av-
erage reader of the newspapers during the re-
cent campaign this announcement will be some
thing of surprise. That is because none of the
able editors political dopesters ever figured
Mckinley in the running at any STAGE The
fight seemed to be all between Gov. Joseph w.
Folk and Senator w. J. ("Gumshoe') Stone.
The latter running for reelection and the
former for the toga. Both are Democrats, and
as nobody thought of the possibility that Re-
publican legislature might be elected it seemed
as if the Democratic vote in the primaries would
settle the affair.

We opened the campaign by invit-
ing the public to cooperate with us
in the improvement OF the delivery
system and asked for suggestions
and complaints. We tried to make

cause of delay in delivering and show
ed that many complaints were based

ditions under which We were oper-

lie in a spirit of goodwill. and met
with a hearty response.
The practical results were shown
in a marked decrease OF complaints
and criticisms. in fact they dwindled
into almost none as the season pro-
crossed. We feel well repaid for the
expenditure and | would advise other

campaigns next season. shall be

President Cantril Says They
Will Pool Own Crop.
He Gives Out Long Interviews in
Which He Gives Equity
Society's Side.

II all goes well there will be two
Burley tobacco pools-one by the Bur-
ley Tobacco association, and one by
the American Society Of Equity.
President Campbell Cantril, Of the
Equity society, says his society will
present a pooling plan 10 the Burnley
tobacco growers and that it will be
more satisfactory than the present
1909 pool pledge.
Mr. Cantril declines 70 go into
personal controversy with Miss Lloyd
Closing a long interview. he says:
Il have tobacco in the pool, and
feel as a member of the Burley so
ciety that | was entitled TO that in
formation. The information was re-
fused by the attorney apd the Bur-
ley board present; but it seems to me
that the Burnley board is taking an in
iefensible position when il refuses
even TO tell TO members for what
general purpose their money is being
spent. The Burnley board can never
hope TO succeed unless IL is frank
with it's membership. We have been
told recently that the members of the
board were very successful men, and
we're entitled to large salaries.
They are a fine body of gentlemen
without exception but as a matter of
cold business We see the sorry spec
tacle OF a sale going on az Winches-
ter of tobacco that every man in the
pool thought was sold long ago and
the sale being made for the purpose o
beginning long and costly litigation,
when had the first sale been made on
business principles. the money for this
tobacco would have been in the hands
Of the growers long ago. yet the to-
bacco growers are paying salaries
to $4,000 per year to be
made in the end a party to a lawsuit.

only again ask that the contract be so
changed that a majority of the tobac-
co growers Of the Burley district will
sign it so that We may have pool
strong enough to sell the tobcaco when
It is ready for market, and not a
weak pool that We will have to hold
for two or three years and then have
cut out another crop to sell II.
When these changes are made
will cheerfully support the pooling
pledge and trust to change myself
from an undesirable into a once
more desirable one in the minds of
the Burley board and It's press bu-
reaus.
in conclusion beg TO say that
il Is apparent that the Burnley society
will never concede a point to the
people in It's contract. The Society
Of Equity believes in pooling tobac-
co and will shortly present a contract
% the tobacco growers Of the Burnley
district for their consideration and
adoption which will leave 20 the peo-
pie in the pool the power 20 manage
in their local boards their own affairs
and keep the organization close TO
the people. propose to take the field
for this contract If it is adopted by the
tobacco growers. will advocate the
pool along this line, Urging all to-
bacco growers to sign it. have stat
ed at all times that ! believe in the
pooling idea and the eLs5<e coGtro-
versy has been over the terms of the

ming was shown in the recent exhibit Of
the Chamber Of Commerce. There are
numerous villages and cities in the Unit
ed States where public spirited people
have turned unsightly back yards into
scenes OF beauty. so that public eye
sores have become public sources Of en-
joyment.
It may be that, as our English critic
has said. something may be lost in the

and It is a satisfactory and artistic way,
