HIGH PRICES AND WAGES
FARM PRODUCTS AND LABoR,s
PAY STAND TOGETHER.

The Democratic party can not
change, revise, or repeal the funda-
mental law that makes our industries
and our labor idle when, by low tariff
or free trade, we permit the indus
tries and labor of other countries to
supply u markets with products we
make. We have a market of our own;
1t was created by the fathers for our
own people. They had a right, and it
was their duty, to place 1t on a high
plane for the welfare of our people,
and we should protect 1t and keep it
on that high plane.
1t Is the best market in the world.
Every producer, wherever he may be,
looks longingly to the American mar
ket. We live in a commercial age.
1t Is the ambition and the hope of ali
to succeed In the market. The activ-
ity and stability OF our market and
the prosperity OF our people depend
on two things-high prices to farmers
for their products and high wages to
laborers for their work.
A farmer can not get high prices
for what he produces, from laborers
who get low wages. Laborers en-
ployed in GU industries can not get
high wages II they compete In the
production of like commodities for
our consumption with men who get
low wages. That is q fundamental
law that my Democratic friends have
never yet been able to see or under
stand.
II the products used for our neces-
sity and comfort are supplied to us
by foreign manufacturers, our own
manufacturers and our own laborers
will be idle, end, as stated by Presi-
dent Fillmore, to that extent the farm
or will be deprived of q market in
which to sell the products OF the soil.

UNFETTER the SENATE
THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE AN op.
PoRTuNiTY TO DO 1T.

The Globe-D Democrat of June 20 con.
tanned an editorial that ought to be
read by every citizen Of Missouri. 1t
hits the nail on the head" at every
stroke. II You have read II read It
again and preserve It. Here 1t 10:
rs any voter in Missouri willing to
accept less than half the representa-
ton given another voter7 Is any
honest voter satisfied with a system

senate IN the control Of one party no
matter how large the popular major.
The Marshall republican., 1910-07-01

ity against that party7 The legisia-
ture OF this state, by unequal district
fng. is tied up against the verdicts OF
the people. For thirty-eight years the
state senate has been continuously
Democratic, and Is Democratic now
by more than two to one. Missouri
gave It's electoral vote to Roosevelt
and Taft, and has twice since 1904
elected a majority in the lower branch,
but the state senate has remained
immovably Democratic by two to or y.
This situation Is q deliberately con-
trived trick. The thirty-four state SEN
atorial districts are a studied juggie.
In voting population the districts vary
from IL, 800 to 29,900, by which method
some voters get less than half the
representation Of others, and the leg
islature is always at the mercy OF an
old partisan scheme.
in the state campaign ~ This year
the Republicans propose 10 bring
about fair districting, and airs laying
before the people the plans to accom-
plish this end as fast as they can be
prepared. Democratic polite ans and
organs that are plastered all over with
the outrageous gerrymander tha. has
been doing its evil work for mora than
a third Of a century denounce the new
proposition with the cry: "It is q ger
rymander!" What fools these moss
back m%anipulators imagine the people
of Missouri to be. The juggltrs are
gripping with both hands the Jerry
mander now In force What the Re-
publicans propose la distrtcting Is not
In force, and can NOT be until approved
by the people at the polls. II Is sub
mitted for the closest scrutiny. It's
purpose is to establish districts equal
In population and compact in terri
tory. But the hackers of the scheme
that has been working a gerryman-
dered senate for more than thirty
years, with many scandalous episodes,
shout: ANY change will be a gerry
mander. Our gerrymander is perpet-
nally sacred" They will be made sick
Of this hypocrisy. The people Of Mis-
souri, intend to have fair representa-
ton, and a real legislature in both
branches"

Hadley at Home
Especial Correspondencs)

Jefferson City June 2s.-After a
most delightful trip to Indiana and
Kentucky Governor Hadley and
Mrs. Hadley returned to the CAPT.
tai OF Missouri last Tuesday night
and on Wednesday began prepar-
atoms for occupying their new log
cabin summer home on the Cover
nor's farm. For nearly a month
Governor Hadley had been making
short trips and responding to calls
for his presence at various points.
The trip to Indiana and Kentucky
wound up the strenuous going and
coming Of the governor for the
present and, excepting a few
engagements at intervals, he will
now be at the capital or at his
farm near by, where he will spend
the summer with his family.
Governor Hadley and Mrs. Had
ley enjoyed a trip through the
famous Blue Grass region of Ken
lucky in an automobile. From
Lexington to Versailles, a distance
of 10 miles, they travelled over one
of the smoothest and best turn
pike macadamized roads in Ken
lucky, through a region as rich,
productive and beautiful as can be
seen anywhere in the world. At
Versailles they encountered ter
rifle storm of thunder, lightning
and rain, but they sped through it
traversing the famous county of
Woodford and a portion of Frank
fort, the fair capital of Kentucky,
where they were royalty enter
tanned by Governor Wilson, a
popular Republican.
Monday the executive committee
of the National convention of Gov:
ernors, of which committee Gov.
ernor Hadley is a member, met
with Governor Wilson to fix the
time and place and to arrange
a program for the next meeting of
the convention. Governor Had
ley wanted it held at Jefferson
City but a majority of the gov
ernors who had been consulted
prior to the meeting of the COM
had expressed a preference
for Kentucky. Governor Hadley
had good claims TO present for
Missouri, but Kentucky won. The
governors will be entertained at
and Louisville, Novem-
Der 20, when President Taft, Col.
.Roosevelt and Justice Harlan of
he Supreme Court and Governor
hughes OF New York will be their
Ipecial guests. It will be a REL
meeting.

In Regard to Good Roads
Marshall Republican;

/ deem it Of Importance to make
a few remarks through your pa
| per concerning u public roads,
| as everyone knows that the ex-
cessive rains the past three month
have caused in places an almost
impossible condition. Having work
ed upon the roads as a laborer
during the past month ] fully un-
derstand the conditions.
There are several reasons why
u roads are in a bad condition (;
list, They have been neglected the
past several years for the want
of funds on account of a decision
of the Supreme Court whereby
the county did not have the power
to raise money by taxation to be
devoted especially to road and
bridge purposes. 2nd, W. are not
expending enough money, that is
to say, we are not allowing enough
wages for teamsters and laborers.
The wages being 80 cents an
hour for teamsters and Is cents an
hour for laborers. Where is the
man who is going to work on the
public roads with his team for ten
hours at the hardest kind Of labor,
being necessary at times to work
in mud in the draining and fixing
of the mud holes, when the aver
age wages paid for teamsters at
the present time is $3.50 to $500.
And for laborers on farms $1.O0
per day and board in many cases
with other privileges which is
equal to more than $3.50 where a
laborer boards himself, besides you
get your money on demand and
when you work for the county
you have to wait from n to two
months before you receive your
pay. If the farmers Of our county
would pursue this policy of hiring
their help and would expect them
to wait from one to two months
for their pay we would consider
them bankrupt and they would
not secure the help needed. Can
it be said that the grand county
of Saline is a bankrupt
Again the farmers on account of
the lateness of the season and
their inability to secure proper
help from year to year cannot
themselves work on the roads.
Under the above conditions the
roadoverseers are almost power
less to keep the roads in repair
and as long as there is a scarcity
OF help on the roads we can not
expect much better roads. Iwould
recommend that the county court
have the power to pay better
wages to teamsters and laborers
on the roads and the wages SO
earned to be paid at least once in
every two weeks or on demand,
thus to enable the roadoverseers
to have sufficient help at all times
and help that a be depended on.
Teams that become accustomed to
working on the roads will move
more dirt in ten hours than some
farmers teams unaccustomed to
the work will do in fifteen hours.
Thus while higher wages will be
paid per day but no more in pro-
portion to the amount of work
done as at present. i would futh-
er recommend that all main travel
ed roads should at an early date
al possible be well graded and af-
ter 81 done the farmer be prevail
ed to keep them dragged often
and SO done there will be much ex
pense saved in the future besides
enjoying much better roads. II
have written the above intending
no %criticisism whatever to any
official and especially the county
court but to show the cause of
the bad roads and in the hope that
in the future they may be over
come. T. OIL

There is no question but that
the Byrne, Simplified Shorthand is
the greatest system of shorthand
in use today. 1t holds the worlds
record for speed in a given length
of time, is the most simple, legible
and rapid system in use, as is
shown by the following remarks

II spent q months trying to

ands of word and phrase signs, l

After studing six different Pit
manic system I was unable to hold
an ordinary office job, but with
five weeks study of the Byrne L
went into the District Court and
did reporting successfully, and was
appointed regular Court Stenogra-
pher."
Why study any system of short
hand other than the Byrne, when
the Byrne can be learned in half
the time, read with greater ease
and written at a. higher rate OIL

as much to complete a course in
