Statistics show that prohibition
Maine sent to the penitentiary in

souri, in the same year sent SS7 to
the penitentiary. Have you boy

Liquor costs US one boy out oil
every five families. Saloons can
no more run without boys than
can a grist mill run without gtist.
Liquor costs the state OF Missou-
ri 81, 600, 900 more than we get in
revenue, and the consumer pays
for the drink besides. Can you
calculate the cost in souls?
THE Citizen" edited by Judge
Wallace, of Kansas City, says, in
speaking of the great lght in St.
Louis:
1T must not be thought from
the tons of literature sent out thru
Missouri by the st. Louis brewers
that they are the only ones who
are doing any fighting in St. Louis.
They have more money, but the
temperance people0there are fight
ing just as hard as they are.
st. Louis will make as grand a
fight for prohibition as Joplin did.
Joplin was thought to be wetter
than St. Louis. The temperance
forces in the Joplin fight received
As per cent of the vote,in that city
and we believe that they will re-
ceive fully as large a. per cent OF
the in St. Louis.
There are several hundred
thousand patriotic, liberty-loving
home-loving, citizens in St. Louis
just as good and true as the
world contains.
The fight to save St. Louis tol
temperance and civic righteous
ness is just as intense as the fight
to save it for ruin, beer and drunk
ennesS."

Prohibition will not sweep over
grand old Missouri as do the gen.
tie zephyrs over the Ozarksl in
springtime. Prohibition has not
come. to our sister states without
an effort on the temperance forces.
Victory will not come to us the Sth
of next November if we sit in arm

toasting our feet and dreaming of

Farm Products Exports.

Exports of farm products from the
United States have increased from an
average Of $15O,000,O0O a year in the
five-year period from 1851 to 1855 to
more than s1,OOO,OOO,OOO in 1908. &C
cording to the Department of Agricul-
ture. The increase in exports has
been greater than the increase in pop
ulation In 1876 the average value
per capita of agricultural exports was
$685.; in 19O1-O5 it was $1O88 Ex-
ports of packing house products have
increased from s10,000,000 in the
1875 period to s196, 100000 in 1908.
the principal items in this group be-
ing pork, beef and oleo oil. Since
1905 there has been a decline in the
exports of beef, but the balance Of
trade favors foreign countries by near
ly s20O,000,000 in the year ending
June 80, 1909, according to the ad-
vance sheets of the report of the New
York Chamber of Commerce. The re-
port will show that imports into the
United States increased $18,O85,245
over 1908, while exports for 1909 fell
off s175,35S,326.

CONFERENCE REPORT PRESENTED
TO THE SENATE LATE TO-
DAY BY ELKINS. ..
TAFT TRIES TO SOLVE TANGLE
Situation Which Has Arisen Over Con-
servation Bill Threatens to
Delay Congress.
HOLDS CONFERENCE WITH LEADERS

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 16.-
The conference report on the railroad
bill is expected to be taken up by the
Senate late today. Senator Elkins said
he hoped to be able to get the report be-
fore the body at o'clock this afternoon.
See Legislative Tangle.
President Taft, several senator's and
the Republican members of the House
ways and means committee wrestled
today for more than an hour with the
legislative tangle that has arisen in con-
nectlon with the conservation bill just
passed by the Senate, and which threat
ems to delay the adjournment Of Con-
gress. The Senate put on the bill as a
rider a provision for the issue of $780,
100000 of certificates of Indebtedness
to cover the cost of completing irrigation
projects already under way or planned
in the west
A bill carrying new legislation involv-
ing a charge upon the treasury cannot
go through the House without refer
ence to committee and being placed on
the union calendar. Bills on the union
calendar are not privileged and under
ordinary circumstances the conserva-
ton bill carrying the $3O,0OO,OOO appro-
priation would not be reached this seS-
sion.
No Conclusion Reached
1t was to devise some means of get
ting both the conservation bill and the
irrigation appropriation through the
House without bringing about a legsla-
tive snarl that the President summoned
members of both houses of Congress to
the executive offices today Later he
called in Attorney General Wickersham.
No definite conclusion was reached.
