ure responsible. She has contributed
in still another way. The dairy cow
teaches kindness. Her owner soon
learns that only by treating her kind.
ly can he ecure the highest possible
returns from her, and she responds
quickly to the kind works and proper
care Her disposition is one that the
human family might well emulate.
She is patient and long suffering,
acquiescing mutely in the arrange

ing on dairy business, striving at all
times to repay him for every effort
made for her care and comfort.
The members of the family, as they
come in contact with her and her
kindly disposition, are influenced for
good As they appreciate the financial
benefit to come from caring for her
well they take a deeper interest in
her. In doing SO they unconsciously
cultivate those qualities which make
them better citizens.
The dairy cow-the prototype of
mans best friends welding a
greater influence than she is generally
credited with. She has always been
found in the front ranks in the march
of civilization and no agricultural
country can long prosper without her.
She is a potent factor in the up
building of such a country, financially,
and socially, and a wise people will
appreciate her and encourage the in-
of which she is the foundation.

The amendment that carried In the
thirty-one counties was in regard to
leasing of school lands for agricultural
purposes. OF the purposed laws the
county option and military bills were
pretty generally discussed. The
military bill received only about half
the favorable votes that the other
measures received. The campaign on
county option was pushed hard by
the Anti-Saloon League and in
dividual workers in every county,
That it did not receive a larger favor
able vote is a surprise as after so much
agitation it is fair to suppose that
every nan in favor of it voted for the
measure. Looking at it from this
standpoint the people of this state are
"a long way from favoring any such
system of handling the liquor traffic.
If it cannot do better than the returns
show after four years of education
upon the subject it is reasonable to
believe it is a hopeless issue in this
state. State wide prohibition would
secure a greater favorable vote any
day.
Any man will tell you that these
are days of great things if you engage
him in a general conversation for five
minutes. But how great are the
things accomplished in these DAYS

Hon. David r. Francis

Hon. David R. Francis spoke to
large audience in the circuit
court room Wednesday night. Mr.
Francis showed his ability as a
speaker and statesman and made
great impression on his hearers.
1t can be said that his following
here is not small even though this
is considered Reed county, and
we predict almost with a certainty
that if the Democrats control the
legislature Francis will be the next
U! S. Senator.
The subject of his speech was
conservation of our resources, tar
iff and his plea for votes for SEN
ator. He recalled the fact lin 1890
the Mckinley tariff law went into
effect and the people became so
enraged that they overwhelmingly
defeated the Republican party in
1892 and thus the .Wilson-G orman
law was enacted. He admitted it
was true that there was panic but
he gave the old subterfuge that
the Republicans had the dies made
ready to issue bonds but waited
until after the 4th of March for
the duty to fall on the Democrat
party. He recalled the fact that
the Republicans were successful in
the election of 1895 and every
election since.
In 1897 the DINGHY law was en-
acted. He said this carried a
higher duty than the McKi ley law
and after a few years the people
came to demand reduction in the
tariff. In 1908 the Republican par
ty promised revision and upon
this promise they were again sue
cessful. And thus the late tariff,
the Payne-Aldrich law was en-
acted which as he says carries a
higher duty than either the DINGHY
or Mckinley laws. He said he
thought a revision of the tariff
meant downward not upward. We
wish to state her Mr.. Francis has
made statement that is not rrus
or President Taft has made one
that is not true in his letter to
the chairman of the Republican Goa
gressional committee when he
says there has been substantial
reduction in duties, especially the
necessities of life and raw mater
ial except imported wines and
liquors.
While recalling the history OF
the various tariffs Mr.. Francis for
| got to tell his hearers that under
the Dingley, and Payne-Aldrich as
well as the Mckinley laws our
country has reached a state OF
prosperity never before equaled
No idle and hungry men as under
"a low tariff.
He said further that party OIL
an individual that was dishones;
should and would go out of power
To this we truly agree with Mr.
Francis. We remember the frauds
committed in lSt. Louis, the ballot
box stuffing, Cowherd with his
tainted nomination and his defea;
Also Mr.. Francis said Missouri
was a Democratic state, but if h,
will look at the election returns
since 1896 when the Democrat
vote reached the high water mari
he will find that it has declined il
: the face of an increasing popuIa
ton while the Republican vote ha
steadily increased. See editoria

ten years.
