A Republican Threat
and O Broken Promise.


The working men of Madison
county will remember, says the Fred.
ericktOwn Democrat News, how four
years ago they were told II Demo
cratic President was elected how the
North American would close down
and they would be out OF job; how
prospecting and mining work would
be down and out, and they would
have to seek work elsewhere. You
were told how different II would he, ,
should Taft be elected President A
local Taft newspaper told you that
If Taft and Elvins were elected
smoke would continue TO belch forth
from the "ponderous smoke stacks"
of the North Americn Lead Com
pany, but If the Democrats were
elected all would be changed, the
North American would close down
development work would be stopped,
work would he scarce and general
apathy would prevail in Madison
county.
Taft and Elvins were elected
The NORTH American Lead Company
passed into control of one of the
most gigantic trusts in the country
a trust composed Of the Guggenheim
and Standard oil interests. The
plant was Immediately closed down
smoke ceased to "belch," hundreds
of men were thrown out OF employ
ment and had to leave their native
city To seek employment to keep
their loved ones from want. Family
ties were broke by the greed of the
trusts that had sprung up under the
protection and care of n Republican
President.
Are conditions any better ut this

the price OF lead is high, the mine
owners are protected by the tariff

Kiulcy's record is necessary To
prove the iusiucerity and falsehood
of this claim. We turn to the Sen
ate journal, Forty-secoud General
Assembly, 1909, and, on page 312 find
the following record:
"House bill No. 81, entitled,

DEDICATION OF SCIENCE
HALL. CARLETON COLLEGE

HALL, CARLETON COLLEGE.
The most important event con-
nected with Carleton College for
years was the dedication of Science
Hall, Thursday evening, October
nth, Although the weather was
threaenting many people gathered for
the occasion. A most interesting pro-
gram had been prepared. The exer.
cises began with the hymn, Faith of
Our Fathers" DR.. w. 7. Wright OF
st. Louis, President of the Board of
Trustees, offered prayer. After an
instrumental solo by Professor f..
l.. McFadden, instructor In piano,
and Scripture reading by Dean T..
NJ. Smith, Dr. Hagerty, a lifelong
friend and supporter of the college,
delivered few well chosen remarks.
The main speaker Of the evening
was DR.. Thomas Nicholson OF New
York, Secretary of the Board of Edu-
cation of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. The speaker set forth the
great value of higher education in
our modern life In scholarly and
masterful way. Following the adj
dress vocal solo was rendered by
Miss Jean Demuth. teacher In voice
at Elmwood Seminary, Pennington.
DR., Wright, as president OF the
Board OF Trustees, IN well chosen
words then presented the building
to DR.. Nicholson to be dedicated to
the work of Christian education. Az
ter words OF greeting by President
Gilliland to the friends of the col
Nlege assembled, the Carleton song
was sung by the students and DR..
Hagerty pronounced the benedic-
ton.
Perhaps no one was SO rejoiced
on this occasion as Miss Eliza A.
Carleton, and it was source of
pleasure to every one that she was
able to he present at the exercises,
although In her eighty-seventh year.
Science Hall is n thoroughly modern
and up to date building in every
way, 81 by los feet, three stories
high. The basement Is composed of
cement and the superstructure of
pressed brick. Wide corridors TX
tend the entire length Of the first
and second floors, upon either side
Of which are laboratories, class
rooms and library. The third floor
is occupied principally by the audi
forum and literary society halls.
The assembly room is the largest In
Pennington and will seat six hum
bred people. The building Ii heated
with steam, has sanitary drinking
fountains on each floor and has first
class furnishings and equipment
throughout.
1t is generally accepted by every
one that with this splendid building,
the able faculty aud the high stand
ard of work done in the school, Garlic
College looks forward to growth
that she has never known. AS an
indication of this larger future II
should be noted that the enrolment
In the academy and college classes
is about forty per cent higher than
last year at this time.
AS proof of the high standard
of work done a recent letter from
Northwestern University states that
students from Carleton College may
take advanced courses at North.
western and that they will receive
full credit for all work done at Garlic
ton without examination. All these
things mean that Carleton College
will continue to exert an increas'
ingly larger influence on the intel
lectual and moral life Of the people
of Southeast Missouri.

SOMETHING TO AN AUTO
BESIDES FINISH-WILCOX

"Too many people forget to look
underneath a car when they buy,
says Asst Gen. Mgr. George ID. VIII
cox, OF the Regal Motor Car Co.
There is something more to a good
automobile than it's beautiful appear
ance, luxurious upholstering and the
mechanical efficiency OF It's motor and
parts. That something is the dis
lance between the lowest point Of the
car and the road. 1t is called road
clearance.
Scores OF people buy cars without
ever thinking OF the day when they
will be out on some rough or rocky
by-road where every inch by which
the car clears the highway will be

curity and the safety Of It's occupants.
They forget that unfortunately
America does not boast OF as fine
roads as we wish 1t did and that
every car which has low, hanging
rods or dust pan is sure, sooner or
later, to meet with difficulty.
"In examining a car with view
to obtaining ample road clearance
there are two things which should
be borne in mind. First, the pros
pective purchaser should remember
that car is no higher than its low

look high IL may have low hanging

COLD WEATHER IS WHAT
DETROIT ELECTRIC LIKES
Tests of Trucks Made In Mani
toba Are Pleasing to
President Anderson

Cold weather is what w. z. Ander-
son. president OF the Anderson Elec-
trio Car Co, dotes on and for q
strange reason
Mr.. Anderson's company manufac-
lures the Detroit Electrics and he
thinks that the cold weather shows
up his style of trucks especially TO
advantage in comparison with the
gasoline cars.
II have received news from Win
nipeg. Manitoba, where the weather
has been frightfully cold that our
trucks are standing the frigid tenn
perature without any trouble what
ever.
Tests have been made which are
most favorable. The Winnipeg Paint
& Glass Co., for instance, were skep-
teal. So they allowed their Detroit
truck to stand for three hours straight
without running when the thermomet-
er stood 80 below, Ii order to see IL
there would be any effect on the bat
teries. They nave reported that az
ter standing for three hours they
loaded up and ran off as usual. They
got thirty miles out OF their truck on
that day.
Other tests made by various COM
panies in that cold country made by
the John Leslie Furniture Co., and
the A. Macdonald Grocery Co. showed
that while the trucks were used in
weather ranging from 20 to 80 below,
zero, after drives of from fifteen to
thirty miles the temperature OF the
electrolyte at the end of the run was
always from SO to So above zero.
"The Larlmer Co., Ltd, also or
Winnipeg. has written me a letter
In which they say:
1--WE are very much pleased at Sthe
way these trucks are working, and II
not only means great deal to the
Detroit Electric, but also TO the Edi-
son company, as it answers for good
and all our competitors criticism
that the Edison battery will not stand
extremely cold weather
"For your information, we might
say, that the battery compartments
in the trucks in question are all lined
with one-Quarter inch asbestos along
the sides and bottom. The top of the
battery compartment Is lined only
with ordinary metal top. with the
ventilator which our people are now
putting on all trucks which they are
sending out. We might also add,
that on account of the severe test
which these trucks have been put to
In the last two weeks, due to the very
severe weather we have had, that we
will place here in Winnipeg, fifteen
trucks by spring. as we are proving
out every day that the electric truck
with the Edison battery is the only
truck that will stand the terrific win
tiers such as we experience in Mani
toba. and we have daily experiences
of the gasoline trucks being towed
in, by reason of the frozen engines
and radiators
