To the Merchants and Business Men

shall. What does this mean? Simply
that the legitimate business world
knows that the election Of the Demo
cratic ticket means continual and un-
:preoedented prosperity, yet In spite of
this the Republican managers make
this wicked attack, which. II 1t has
any effect at all. can be only to fool
the voters and to create worry and
hardship in the minds Of some of the
people where there Is no basis for any
feeling except that of happy anticipa-
ton Of better things to come when our
candidates are elected.
Give special attention to this line Of
attack In order that you may meet it
and overcome its effects. They are
writing these letters, putting their ad-
vertisements In the papers and maga-
xines and on the billboards with the
unholy purpose of falsely soaring peo.
pie into voting the Republican ticket.
, Please let me know at once II these
attacks are rehaving any influence among
the people or in any of the communi-
ties where you have had occasion to
observe.
myself and the national committee
want to cooperate with you. and we
want you to help US bring about the
greatest Democratic victory this coun-
try has ever seen. We do this with
the full knowledge that Democratic
victory will mean greater business
prosperity. greater demands for wage
earners and greater opportunities for
every person In our nation. with the
exception Of those who are now enjoy

people now 10, Who will give them
the downward revision for which they
made q new demand in 1910, when q
Democratic congress was overwhelm-
ingly elected? It is clear that the
only man In the race who will staEd
for an intelligent revision downward
is Woodrow Wilson and the only party
which will give 1t is the Democratic
party.
Now, II Mr.. Wanamaker is correct
in his assertion that prosperity de-
pends wholly upon Republican rule
and the maintenance Of a high tarin
policy. how does he explain the in
controvertible fact that with every
body demanding tariff revision down
ward the whole business Of the coun-
try today ia. in anticipation of this
very revision and the certainty Of
Democratic success, in better condi-
ton, more stimulated and more ag-
gressive than it has been in many
years? Does he not know that our
shrewd merchants. business men and
bankers almost infallibly sense i'm
provement in business conditions. or.
as they say in the vernacular. dis
count it," Democratic success Is on
all sides conceded.
10 Not to Destroy.
Finally, 1t bears strongly on Mr..
Wanamaker's statement to note that
the Democratic campaign Is largely in
the hands of business men. / can
not claim the distinction of being a
merchant yet l hope l can qualify as
a business man. Certainly l should
hesitate to advocate the adoption Of
any policy or to ask my friends to
follow the leadership Of any man or
party likely in any way to bring harm
to the people OF this country. 1t would
be easy to add the names Of distin-
guished manufacturers all over the
land who are In active cooperation
with the Democratic national commit
tee in this campaign. These men. hav-
ing great business interests at stake.
are not likely to be deceived into pro-
noting their own destruction. They
feel. as do many others Of our leading
manufacturers. that the Democratic
Of the tariff is helping and not hinder
ing our industries. Governor Wilson
has frankly said:
II am not interested In disturbing
the great course Of business in this
country. but I am interested In en-
riching it." W. G. MADoO.

Mr.. Roosevelt proposes In his plat
form not to abolish monopoly, but to
take 1t under the legal protection of the
government and to regulate 1t, to take
the very men into partnership who
have been making 1t impossible to car
~ out these great programs by which
all Of Us wish toihelp the people.
We don't want to disturb the indus
try Of the country. but to destroy the
control over the industry of other peo-
pie which these men have established
and which makes 1t impossible that We
should give ourselves . free field Of
service.
Tariff schedules have been made for
the purpose Of keeping as large
number as possible of the rich and in
fiuential manufacturers of the country
in a good humor with the Republican
party which desired their constant
financial help.
The Republican party has practical
ly fostered the trusts. The Democratic
party proposes to prevent monopoly,
and the third party proposes to take
monopoly into partnership with the
government by accepting 1t as an in
evitable necessity and bringing 1t un-
der the regulation Of law, making it q
institution.

West Plains, Mo.--Three masked
men entered the Citizens bank

al noon and robbed the bank, while
two others stood guard outside. The
robbers wore masks OF 'possum hides.

For 10 days the bank officials have

Fulton county and Deputies T. A.
Sharp and J. B. Hodges were hidden
in the back room of the bank when
the robbery occurred. AS the rob-
bers were leaving the officers opened
fire on them with Winchester rifles.
One of the robbers was identified as
Ben Jones, the son of Dr. II. NJ. Jones,

Fuel company entombed 10 men.
1t is not known what caused the ex.

The miners were entombed $500
feet from the mouth Of the tunnel
The explosion is believed TO have
been caused by a windy shot which
set off a pocket OF gas and dust. So
terrific was the blast that II is be
lieyed the men in the shaft must
have been killed instantly or suffo-
Gated soon afterward
George Papes, a Greek, the only
man to escape, is burned probably
fatally. He was unable to tell any
thing about the disaster, and is ex-
pected to die.
That more men were not entombed
is due to the fact that the explosion
came after the night shift had gone
of duty and before the majority of the
day shift had started.

(By r. l.. wEBsTER)

Nearly every year cherry and plum
trees in the central states suffer a
large amount OF damage on account
Of the common pear slug, or cherry
slug. While the control of this insect
has not been considered very diff
cult problem, yet It often happens
that foliage is greatly damaged before
the owner is aware that any slugs are
on his trees.
The pear slug, or cherry slug, is a
dark, almost black, Shiny slug, about
two-fifths of an inch long when full
grown, which feeds on cherry, pear
and plum leaves.
These slugs feed on the upper sides
Of the leaves, eating out all the tissue
except the veins and the lower surface.
The injured leaves become dry and
brown and fall from the trees, which
pre sometimes left entirely bare OF
foliage in midsummer.
Trees are often killed as a result OF
repeated defoliation. A short crop Of
fruit follows severe attack by this
Mexico Missouri message., 1912-06-27

insect, on account Of the weakened
condition Of the tree.
Trees that have been damaged by
the slugs appear as IL they had been
damaged by fire. The leaves turn
brown, curl up and finally fall. Cherry
trees, under such conditions, are
forced to put out a new growth OF
leaves, weakening the tree and re
ducing the crop Of fruit the following
year.
The slugs appear twice during the
year, and trees should be sprayed as
soon as they appear. They first make
their appearance about the middle OF
June, and the second appearance is
about the third week in July.
Insect powder can be used against
these slugs by merely busting it over
the leaves.
Hellebore may be used either In a
dry or liquid form. 1t must be fresh
for effective use. For a dry applica.

would also be OF value in disturbing
the cocoons.
According to DR.. L. O. Howar,
chief of the bureau of entomology at
Washington, the slugs may be easily
washed off of small trees by a strong
stream of water applied from a gar
den hose under heavy pressure. When
washed to the ground they are unable
to regain their places on the leaves
Such measure as this would be quite
feasible on a small scale in cities, or
where water pressure is available.
Spraying is undoubtedly the bes.
remedy for the pear slug Of the Two
generations the first Is the harder 10
combat, especially on cherry trees
since the fruit is present on the trees
at about the same time that the slug
are abundant. Consequently due care
must be taken in the use of arsenical
poisons at that time. Arsenical pol
sons may be used freely for the sec
ond generation in the late summer
The pear slug Is rarely destructive
in any locality for many years at 3
time. This alternating abundance and
scarcity OF the insect is due for The
most part to the activity of its natural
enemies, the most abundant OF which
are two small egg parasites.
