There's usually some good in
most things and when we last
week condemned the piano contest
we. Adid not mean that it was all
bad-it has a few redeeming points
One of them is that people will
get careless about their reading
matter and drift from the home pa
per, then to the cheaper city paper,
followed by a free story paper or
none at all. A piano contest us
ually starts them right again. We
frequently find families with 10
thing but a story paper or none
at all who are in good circumstan-
ces. Such conditions are not con-
ductive to good citizenship and
usually lead to a loss Of interest in
local affairs as well as a kindly in
terest in ones neighbours.

ISOLATION May 1914.

The Missouri Drummers Associa-
ton will hold its annual convention
in this city on May 1918 and IA, and
this mean three big days for Mar
shall and Saline, for the drummer
boys will be here in full force and
out for a good time.
Judging by their previous meet
ings there will be a big crowd here
from the surrounding country as
we'll as the visiting statesmen.
An elaborate program is usually
carried out and this year will be no
exception as parades are planned,
also a minstrel show the first
night and a big dance the second
night. The program viii be pub
lished later.
A preliminary meeting was held

Uncle Sam is not running any
penny-in-the-s.ot machines. Such is
the substance OF an order received
at the p~ostoffice from Fourth Assis
tant Postmaster General P. V. De-
Graw at Washington. The order
states users OF the rural free deliv-
cry routes must be instructed not
to put pennies for postage in the
boxes with their mail, but must pur
chase stamps and affix them to
their mail before depositing it.
Although the rural route carriers
carry stamps for sale, in addition to
selling money orders, registering
packages and collecting and deliv-
ering the mail, many route jewellers
have found 1t much more conven-
lent to leave the pennies for the
postage in their mail boxes instead
OF meeting the carrier TO purchase
stamps.
This has given the carriers much
additional work, and during the
cold weather kicks began to pour
in. The carrier could take the mail
out OF the box without removing
his gloves, but not the coins. Snow
drifts into the boxes and renders
finding OF the pennies difficult.

Joplin Went "Wet"

BY a majority Of s14 out of 1854
votes the city declared against pro
hibition. At the special election,
held under the local option law,
the "dry" supporters cast 2S45 votes
the "wets" 1859.
Eight thousand women gathered
in the various churches of Joplin
at S o'clock this morning, having
made their way there unaccompan-
led and through the dark. For 80
minutes they prayed for a dry Jop-
lin.
Then hah of them went to their
homes, the other half to the nine
teen voting precincts. The first re
lay was on duty until noon, when
they were relieved by those who
had gone home in the morning.
Their motto was "a word of cheer
and a white ribbon for the dry
voter, a word OF cheer and a pray
er for the VETS" They worked in
three divisions, the field workers,
the mothers band and the lunch
committee.
AS the voter neared che polls
women approached respectively
and begged permission to pin on
him the white badge of temper
ance.
"And may you vote FER dry and
save the boys" was the parting
shot OF the campaign inaugurated
in Jasper county six weeks ago by
the Rev. "Bily" Sunday, baseball
evangelist, who preached nightly
for six weeks to $500 persons.
Society women dismissed their
chauffeurs for the day and drove
their own machines to and from
the polls with the voters. In the
dinners served all day to voters,
1000 pounds of beef were used,
II, 1000 buns, 1000 doughnuts, 1000
pies and 100 pounds Of coffee. At
several precincts they served a few
extras such as the women brought
from their homes.
The mothers band headed para
des of school children. 1t is esti-
mated 5000 children carried Amer
lean flags and wore white badges.
Among the banners displayed were
"Save us boys" "Shoe, not BOOZE"
"Bread, not beer in the home,"
"Vote Ter dry"

High Tariff
Robber Caught!
In Hiding a Long Time, but
now Under Condemnation

The Republicans have been found
out and must now face the charge
OF having wiilfuily and m~aliciously
caused the present high prices and
national prosperity. We have al
ways been tod that the tariff has
n o effect on high prices but either
we or our Democratic statesmen
have been in error, for look at the
following statement published in
Saturdays Democrat-News by
Matt w. Hall, ex-State Prison War
den and high-up politician:
"The man who studies the cost
of producing wheat and corn can
not deny these facts. The day
has passed when the farmer can
grow 20 cent corn, SO cent wheat,
3 cent hogs and S cent cattle.
"Many have bought farms at
the present high prices, and dis
turbance in business conditions
now would result in their having
to give up their farms and join
the great class OF consumers
which would mean an injury to
agriculture and an increased
shortage in production.
"For the last forty years all the
powers OF the national govern
ment have been used to shut out
competition and build up a "home
market" "Home Market" "Home
market" has been the cry OF the
high tariff men all this while,
They have gained their point and
we have the "home market" and
10, our high tariff Republican
friends Immediately and with con-
spicuous haste, prepare to destroy
the work OF their hands.
mo doubt they would like to
muddy" the waters and obscure
the true issue-the tariff, but it
behooves the Democratic party to
prevent the fooling Of the peo-
PIE any longer or any further.
The enormous increase in the out
put OF gold, and the shortage in
the production OF live stock have
their legitimate effect on food
prices, but the high tariff is in
strumental in raising the prices
OF all n~ecessaries and we should
not allow ourselves to be lured
away from III guns"
The Marshall republican., 1910-02-04

The farmer is az the bottom OF
the high prices. He gets a good
price for food products and every
thing else goes with it. OF course
the "robber tariff" protects the
mechanic and makes him a good
customer. But the idea now seems
to be to knock down the price OF
cattle and produce, a very fool
ish act, as it viii either be a failure
or cause a panic. The farmer de-
serves al he is getting.

The newly elected officers of the

a prosperous year in 1909. The
annual report Is as follows:
The Marshall republican., 1910-02-04

Are our merchants prepared to
meet the competi constantly
growing more attractive TO the UNI
thinking, Of those alluring spring
cata,ogs from the metropolitan de-
partment stores? OF course the
bargains at home are better when
you consider that the home mer-
chant gives you personal attention
and the chance to return goods
that are not what was represented,
But the public forgets this, trade
has to be drummed, and the only
efficient drummer for the home
merchant is the local newspaper.
The Marshall republican., 1910-02-04
Where the Increase is Going

The high cost of living is attract
ing universal attention. The in
crease has been assigned to various
causes-among which are the tar
if, control OF production by trusts
short supplies OF food and other
things, and an overproduction Of
gold.
1t is impossible to assign to each
Of these influences the exact part
which it may have had, but the De-
partment Of Agriculture has gath
cred some figures which seem to
show that the farmers, at any rate,
have benefited by the rise In the
prices. :.
Taking the average prices of
farm products between the year
1896 and 1900 as a basis, it 10 found
that the cost OF all commodities
has increased nearly one-quarter.
Farm crops and hive stock, on the
other hand, have increased more
than three-quarters during the
same period. Horses have advance
ed in value two and one-half times
and mules nearly as much; swine
and sheep, n and one-half times;
cattle, n and one-quarter.
In cereal crops there has been a
like increase. Corn has more than
doubled in price-a,fact which, OF
course, has an important bearing
on the increased cost OF beef and
pork, Potatoes have almost doub-
led, and wheat has advanced to n
and one-half times its value ten
years ago. Cotton, q fair price Of
