VICTORY OF NATIONAL IMPORT
ANCE.

In the election of former State
Senator G.. G. Dickinson to succeed
the late David A. De Almond in the
Sixth congressional district of Mis-
souri, the democracy has won the
first great victory in this years cam
paign for the rescue and reformation
of the house of representatives at
Washington.
1t has from the first been conceded
in both parties that this election
in the west upon the questions of re-
publican pertidy on the tariff and of
republican persistence in supporting
Mr.. Speaker Cannon's gag rule of the
house. 1t has been we'll understood
that the election in the Sixth would
give trustworthy index to the drift
of popular sentiment in the congress
sional elections that are to follow
later in the year in every one of the
391 districts.
In view of the magnitude of the
result both parties put forth their
best efforts to win. In their solicit
tude to escape rebuke the republic
cans were especially active. Secretary
Nagel, representing President Taft
and the national administration,
came from Washington to plead the
cause of the republican standpatter
candidate and of the republican
party. Missouri republican congress-
men were called back to the state to
do all they could for republican sue
cess. Hadley, the republican COVER
nor, in his tours of the district ex-
hausted all the arts of republican
guile and deception in the effort to
win votes for Griffith.
And after all has been said and
done the result is crushing rebuke
to republican leaders, measures and
methods. 1t was not expected that in
this special election, held in midwin-
ter, the vote would be so large as it
was in the presidential election,
when De Almonds plurality in the
district was 2,160 and his majority
1893.
Nevertheless the totol vote cast
fell only about 10 per cent short of
the count fifteen months ago, while
Mr.. Dickinson's majority, indicated by
the returns, is something over 300,
or about twice as large as the major
ity by which De Almond was return
ed to congress.
The election in the Sixth means
but one thing: 1t means that the
people of Missouri and the west are
not satisfied with what the republic
can president and the republican con-
gross have done since the 4th of
March last and that they are going
to vote this year to take control of
the house of Representatives away
from the republican party.-St
Louis Republic

NO bad" NATIONAL BANKS.

There is practically not national
bank in all the United States at the
present time whose condition is re-
garded as unsatisfactory" according
to the monthly circular of the Nation
al City Bank of New York. This is
the important declaration which was
made by the comptroller of the cur
rency in recent informal address to
a group of treasury officials and bank
ers. 1t is all the more important in
view of the fact that it was also de-
clared that a year ago there were sew
eral hundred banks out of the 1000
associations doing business under
national charters, which were re-
,garded, and had for many years been
considered by the officials of the
comptroller's office, as either unsound
or poorly managed
by persistent pressure from the
comptroller's Office, and with the CO.
operation of bank officers and direc-
tors, the status of these banks has
been so improved that there is not
now any bank on the bad list This
is a noteworthy achievement. 1t has
UNNECESSARILY benefited the general
banking situation and will add much
to the prestige of the national system.
1t has demonstrated very clearly the
benefit of government supervision,
zealously and intelligently directed. y

One thing is forever good;
That one thing is success.


Mr.. Woodstock, of Graceland Col
lege, favored the pupils of the High
School with a very interesting talk
last Wednesday morning. He gave
an outline of the work as taught at
Graceland, and gave some interest
ing points on manual training.
Visitors last week were Miss Bur-
lingim, of Lamont, who is teacher in
music at Graceland, and Mrs. Olsen,
of Leon.
Friday morning high school exer-
cises consisted of a beautiful solo by
Georgia Hurst, and then Mr.. Voelker
entertained us with some deep ques-
tions such as, eff hen and a half
lay an egg and a half in a day and
half, how many eggs will six hens
lay in seven days?" Some of us found
that even these simple little conun-s
drums contained more than we first
thought. 1t is needless to say that
we all enjoyed the morning very
much.
The preliminary contest has been
changed from March 1lln to March
18th. The representatives from the
classes are as follows:
Seniors Minnie Harris, Nina Still,
Victor Ogilvie. Juniors-Brown
Caster, Fanny Hazlet, Louise Card.
ner. Sophomores-Ruth Farquhar,
Lester Gardner, Grace Bowman
Mildred Avery, Nellie
Cain, Charles Pullen.
The U. S. History class have been
having some very interesting lesson
Special topics are given almost every
day, and debates add to the interest.
Mr.. Wiesley's pupils are enjoying

tionary.
An athletic meeting was held last
Friday evening. Ralph McGinnis was
chosen captain of the base ball team,
and Maurice Grogan of the track
team. Both boy are very enthusiast
tic and work will begin just as soon
as the weather becomes more favor
able.
Last Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Voelker, Misses Sears, Parrish and
Hurst and the boys of the senior
class were royalty entertained at a
o'clock dinner by Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Ginnis. Games and music occupied
the time until late hour.

AS to the Primary.

We suppose it is nigh on to
treason to advocate the abolishing
of primaries yet we are convinced
that the primary method does not
yield the best government, because
it does not secure the best officers.
AS has been remarked by some
one, it makes politics a fight for
persons instead of for principles.
There can be no dispute that it
makes corruption more wide
spread than does the convention
system. The convention is in ac-
cord with our fundamental plans
of government. The primary is
an unnecessary and inordinate
expense, especially when it is
state wide. Even in our own coun-
ty all have seen boys under voting
age bought and thus caused to
commit two crimes at once. 1t is
a hap-hazard way of selecting
candidates and affords no oppor-
tunity for an intelligent review of
the men or a distribution of the
candidates throughout the district
they are to serve. We know this
is not orthodox but it is the truth
and had as we'll be told. The
larger the territory covered the
less feasible it becomes and the
expenses increase to that degree
that only wealthy men can con-
test for the offices, especially in
the state. We are convinced that
if the primary law was off the
statute book it would not soon be
put on again. This, of course, is
our individual view and we are
not expressing it as partisan, but
in the interest of better govern
ment, better officers and better
service in Office. The primary
puts a premium on perjury and in
most instances gives the party a
minority candidate. At any rate
we believe it would be good for all
to try the convention again at
least for a few years. MoberIy
Democrat.

Alabama's Returning Sanity.

Alabama's primary has done
more than give set back to state
wide prohibition. It has called a
halt on the anticorporation folly
which has ragged there, as we'll as
in some of the other southern
states and in few of those of the
west in recent years. The man
who has carried the state for the
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor, Emmett O'Neal, is a local
option advocate. He has over
whelmingly beaten Mallory, the
statewide liquor exclusionist.
O'Neal stands also for fair treat
ment for the railways and the
other corporations.
Nine states have statewide pro-
hibition. Three of these-Maine,
Kansas and North Dakota are
northern states. The others
North Carolina, Georgia, Alaba-
ma, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Oklahoma-are southern states.
Alabama is one of the states which
became "dry" on January 1st.
1909. After an experience OF a
little over a year that state has
turned against the exclusionists
and intends to let the counties
and the big towns deal with tht
liquor issue independently. II
the coming election public senti'
ment is expected to express itsel
concretely on this question, witt

Tennessee, which shut out th'

Thanksgiving.

Gratitude Is one Of our fairest
graces. A "thank you" does not rem
der any compensation to the giver, but
it enriches the gift and enobles the
receiver. Thanksgiving is an attitude
of the soul. 1t is an attitude from
which one gets wide view and beholds
how beautiful the world Is. From the
heights the little unsightly spots that
may be here and there, are lost In the
beautiful prospect, and one looks out
on a scene that is full Of harmony and
JOY.
To-day we celebrate another "Thanks-
giving Day" and all of us have many
things to be thankful for. Let us to-
day go up the heighths, leaving below
the little pains, trials and troubles
which come into our lives and there
with an unclouded vision view the
wonderful blessings and mercies which
have come into our lives. Let us look
over the past and compare our mis-
fortunes and griefs with our happiness
and good fortunes We will find our
troubles were largely Of our own max
ing and then too how infinitely small
they are when compared with the
blessings.
We should today rise above the
iungles and the swamps, to the fair
SUBMITS, under the blue skies, and
looking out over the broad earth, and
up at the countless stars, TO see the
actual fact the Eternal Goodness
everywhere And this not as theory
or a creed but in that spirit of faith
and trust, the soul needs to thrive on
as the body needs the air.
