The local option election held
in Joplin ON Thursday of last
week resulted in a victory for
the VETS" the majority for
them being S14 out of a total
vote of 6,5O4. While the major
ity is entirely too big, yet the
agitation will prove a good thing
for Joplin. There are entirely
too many saloons in our sister
city, there being 81, and the city
council will no doubt soon pass
an ordinance increasing the city
license from $40 per year to not
less than $500. The ordinsuce
will no doubt provide for the
very strictest sort of regulation,
and will also probably provide
for a limit to the number of sa-
looms. Both the newspapers,
the News-Herald and Globe, are
advocating high license and
strict regulation; and their atti-
tude is bound to win ont. 1t

January is matter of history,

a few days ago at the age of 81 re-
calls the splendid work she inaugu-
rated in nursing the thousands OF
sick and wounded soldiers during
that sanguinary struggle.
Everyone knows that the hospital
arrangements in the British army
were in a deplorable condition and
that soldiers died off like flies be-
cause of the lack of surgeons, nurses
and hospital supplies. 1t was Flor
ence Nightingale who brcugh order
out of chaos and who, with her eq-
ually devoted assistants saved the
lives Of thousands who otherwise
would have perished.
But the blessed influence of Miss
Nis.htengale was not confined to the
Crimea. The system she inaugural
ed and the example she set produced
everywhere in all succeeding wars
more humane and intelligent treat
ment of sick and wounded soldiers.
And this was strikingly seen in the
four years of our civil war when
hundreds of devoted women did such
noble and blessed work as army
nurses on both sides in that great
struggle.

Here is the Plank.

A subscriber requests us to give
the plank in the Democratic plat
form demanding free lumber. and
we hereby comply. 1t reads as fol-
lows:
I'VE demand the immediate re-
peal of the tariff on pulp. print
paper. lumber. timber and logs"
The subscriber who requested the
publication of the plank said Mr.
Lever in a speech made the state
lnent that the demand Of the Dem
ocratic platform did not include
building lumber or timber, but only
referred to such woods as were used
in the manufacture of print paper
In the face CT the above demand We
do not see how Mr.. Lever could have
made any such claim. 1t will be
noticed that the demand includes
pulp, out of which print paper is
made. print paper itself, lumber, tim
ber and logs. If lumber and timber
is not used for building purposes we
would like to know what they are
Used for Mr.. Lever ought to read
over the demand again.

Every man in high public posi-

may at any moment be compelled to

under the most deSpotic form, where
every precaution is taken to guard
the life of high officials, assassina-
tionS are by no means rare. AS
proof We have but to instance mod
ern Turkey and Russia. But what
ever palliation may be offered for
such crimes in countries where po-
litical and civil injustice are domi-
nant, none can be found for them in
our own land.
And yet strange as it may seem
the very freedom which prevails in
America affords the easiest kind of a
chance to the Misguided man on

Farmers No Longer Fooled.

That the Republicans are scared
is no Democratic fiction. The organ
of the Protective League, the Amer
ican Economist, tells US so and ad-
mits that even that safe, solid, inn
pregnable wall of defense, the
United States Senate, cannot be re-
lied on after March, 1911. ''At
best" says the Economist" it is not
an easy matter to figure out a ma
jority of regular Republicans after
March 4, 1911 But the Economist
sees ray of hope if the jloyal pro-
lectionists, exert themselves to pre-
vent the catastrophe and stop talk
ing about schedules they fear are too
high and saying that they are will
ing to see every schedule, excepting
their own reduced. 1t will not do
to say that the tariff ought to be
taken from all food articles for if
they do say this the farmers are
sure to have something unpleasant to
say about the tariff on manufac-
lures"
The Economist then advises the
benefciaries of each schedule that
they must" hang together for all
the tariff duties however unjust or
unreasonable and declare war
against any and, ali enemies of pro-
lection, whatever their station in
life, whatever party name they call
themselves by" This appeal to the
tariff barons will doubtless be need
ed by them and they will pour out
their ill gotten gains to try and pre-
serve the tariff tax they collect from
the whole American people.
The three or four hundred mil
lions Of tariff tax which the govern
ment collects does not affect the
Tariff Barons they get no increment
from it. 1t is the ten times greater
tax which they collect, which the
tariff allows them to add to the price
of protected domestic products that
must not be abated one jot or title.
Free food would break down the
protective theory and lead to reduc-
ed taxes on clothing and other nee
essities and to do that would reduce
the profits of the Tariff Barons.
The protectionists pretend that
the farmers would rebel against the
tariff, if food products were placed
on the free list, but they know that
all the farmers ask for is chance
to buy in the cheapest market and
sell in the dearest The tariff on
wheat, on corn, on oats or any 9TH
er ceareal does not add a cent
bushel to the farmers profits because
the surplus products must be sold
abroad and the prices are fixed there
by competition with the surplus of
such products of other countries.
The tax was put on corn, wheat.
oats and other cereals to fool the
farmers into the belief that they
were being protected. But they, like
the consumers in the towns and cit
ices, have already discovered they
are not receiving any share of pro-
lection and have given notice that
they intend to protest vigorously by
refusing to- renominate many stand
pat congressman. No wonder the
Protective Tariff League is scared
and even fears its heretofore i'm
pregnable citadel, the United States
Senate, is in danger OF being cap
tured.
