While the contest was raging in
New York State bitter fights were
being carried on in all sections of
the country. In Massachusetts,
where. from the national point of
view the most important combat
was being waged, Gov. Foss, from
the best report obtainable tonight,
had been reelected over Lieut..
Gov. Louis A. rockingham.
Early reports indicated that Mr..
Foss had been defeated. and while
th shouts of jubliation emanating
from the Republican camp were
still echoing throughout the State,
the word came from the western
part >of the Commonwealth that Gov
Foss had made an unprecedented ru
there. The latest reports were to the
effect that Gov -Foes had been
reelected by 10000.

ate custom that has come down to u
from the beginning of our national
life, has designated Thursday, Nov
30, as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer, | feel that the people OF
Missouri can appropriately join IN
the observance of this occasion.
During last year nature has
brought to us bountiful return
from farm and field. labor has been
generally employed at fair wages bus
mess has been both active and pros
porous. We have enjoyed a free
dom from lawlessness and public dis
order, our laws have been satisfactor

or unusual efforts.
"Our public service has been eff
ciently conducted and free from
scandals or abuses, the public health
has been safe-gnarded and improved,
our public schools have furnished ad-
eduate opportunity for an education,
while the conditions of life have fur
nished an equal opportunity for sue

II, therefore, request that the peo-
pie of Missouri cease their usual avo
cations, and on Thursday, Nov, 80,
return thanks to Almighty God for
the blessings they enjoy"

STAND by Your Colors," the Fur
ton Gazette editorially says;
at is unfortunate that the cleo
tions to organize the Fulton Spec

900 worth of bonds have to be helt
over. The winning of those two elet
tions were distinct achievements fol-
progress. The vote in favor of both
propositions showed beyond question
that an overwhelming majority o.
the people wanted both, and, so fal
as the past can assure the future
make certain the result of the cleo
tions to come. But
"There must be no faltering. Ever!
man who favors organizing the dis
trict and issuing bonds must be aler'
full. Inactivity might result in botf
propositions being defeated. The peo
ple want the road district organized
and they want bonds issued so tha
the roads can be improved. 1t is VI

BOONE COUNTY lis not satisfied
with Just having rock roads in the
Columbia eight-mile district, but is
arranging to have rock roads all owe
the county. Along this line the Co
mmbia Times says; when the coun,
ty court meets Monday there will
be two new road districts seeking or
ganlzation which will be looked after
The Harg and Deer Park people wish
to form road districts and will take
the, matter up with Judges WI E
Johnson, benjamin Tate and John +.
Rowland. The citizens of the Harg
and Deer Park 'neighborhoods are en-
upon the question Of good
roads and will make the roads In
their district as good as any in
Boone county A large number Of
road incorporators in both cases will
be before the court Monday and with
in al few days the court will name
the commissioners in the new dis
tricts. Whether the districts viii
have rock roads or simply improve
those that they have is a question
which will be left to the citizens of
the district.

THE Fulton Sun. referring to the
fight for permanent good roads IN
the Mexico Eight Mile District edl'
torially says. Mexico had not voted
n bond issue and there was some op'
nosition to it, strange to say, one OF
the newspapers not being enthusias
tic over the proposition, Inc
only way to have good roads is te
nut up the money and pay for them
The only equitable way to get the
money is to issue bonds and bet ever
one pay in proportion to his wealth
'ueretofore when roads have been
improyed the business mem were
called on to pay large subscriptions
to gep them, while often the man
who had large real estate holdings
which were greatly enhanced LII
value by the roads, paid nothing

there were no funds to keep them III
and in a few years they were llotle

General News.

Aviator G. p. Rodgers, who passed
through Mexico on his transcontinen
al trip several weeks ago, landed at
Pasadena, Cali, Sunday afternoon
at 4:10. This virtually completed his
ocean-to-ocean flight. He left New
York September II.
Official figures given out by Rodg-
ers' manager place the total dis
tance Travelled at 4.231 miles and
the flying time 1924 minutes.
Including detours to avoid danger
GUS places and mileages not counted
in schedule because the aviator had
wandered Off his course, it is estim'
ated that Rodgers has flown about
4500 miles since leaving New York.
In other words, the actual time he
has put in from Sheepshead Bay,
lN. Y, to Imperial Junction is three
days,six hours and twenty three min
utes, which is much faster than the
| time of the fastest express train.
