To The Democracy.

with Wilson we will VIM
Oh Democrat, Oh Democrat,
Come from behind the hoe,
And get behind the ballot
Or up Salt River go.
A Republican on election day
Always gets there and votes;
"Under the weather" other days
That day ''He feels his oats"
From early dawn It'll set of sun
Along each rural pike,
Republicans to cast their votes
In eagerness will hike.
There be no Alps to such as he
When Time that day unfolds-
Tho blind or deaf or manned or halt
He'll surely reach the polls.
Aftho' High Tariff long has made
Life's burden hard to "tote",
Yet "Epraim welded to his gods"
Will still for Tariff vote.
So Democrat, So Democrat,
Let not the evening sun
Go down on you on lection day
Without your duty done. N=
Proclaim the slogan Ger the land,
To all your kith and kin,
And let its echoes loud resound:
with WILSON WE WILL VIM.
Come sing again as once you sang
OF Old Democracy
"'Twas-good enough for Daddy and
IT'S good enough for.me".
Be not deceived, "Truth is not mocked'
Let not the Sopbists say:
"Discard Democracy and we
Will show better way"
Long, long ago the Scriptures gave
This counsel to us all;
: "The house divided 'gainst itself
4 Shall surely one day fall"
n The G. 0. P. is rent in twain;
On this Roosevelt's intent
Z That never more again shall Taft
Become our President.
So, Democrats, now is your time;
Z Strike while the iron is hot
And when the polls are opened, you
"Be Johnny on the Spot"
Come rally round the ballot box
Your Party's choice to save
Let those who praise High Tariff ride
Salt Rivers chilling wave.

l
gle-tax Hadley is a closed incl
dent.
The farmers champion and la.
boris friend-that's Major.
Ma aior, Roach, Gordon, Deal and
Barker will keep your taxes down.
The Democratic party is the on
ly party that has gone on record
against high taxes.
November End has been set
apart as Wilson and Major Day.
And so has November 5th.
Mckinley still stands with Had
ley for high taxes, and he has
never denied it.
"Wilson will cause panic,"
screams Republican spellbinder.
Wilson has already caused pam
ic-among certain Republican
politicians.
The Republican politicians are
making a campaign of slander
against State Auditor Gordon.
And why shouldn't they? He
kept them from robbing the treas
ury.
No one familiar with the legis-
lative record of John T. Barker
needs any further assurance that
the legal business of the State
will be entirely safe in his hands.
The campaign is over and Nc
Kinley has not yet explained his
vote against the anti-trust law,
but this fact alone should ex-
plain a $4,000 majority for Ma
jor on November 9th.
Conceding the truth of what
Taft says about Roosevelt and
what Roosevelt says about Taft,
the only sensible thing any sen
sible man can do is to vote for
Wilson.
James T. Brs dshaw, Democratic
nominee for railroad commission
er, may have aroused the hostility
of the corporation interest, but he
is a mighty safe man for the
Missouri farmer to tie to in this
campaign.
With every Democratic candi-
date committed to policy of low
taxation, and every Republican
candidate committed to Hadley's
300 per cent increase, it will not
take the average voter very long
to reach proper conclusion Mo-
vember 9TH.
Missouri holds not within her
borders three better, greater, clean
er lawyers than G. B. Faris, Henry
w. Bond and R. F. Walker. They
are ideal men for the Supreme
bench and the Democratic ticket
is strengthened by their candidacy.
The Honorable John Chicken
coop Mckinley, who voted against
the law making chicken stealing
a felony, will retire to Putnam
County after November 5th, and
the imperial Missouri hen will re-
main on the job another four
Years.
The Democratic party lowered
the Missouri tax rate thirty. five
cents on the $4,000 valuation.
Hadley tried to increase the taxes
three hundred per cent, and the
Republican State candidates are
all endorsing Hadley and his re-
cord.
The difference in the cost of
Democratic and Republican rule
in Missouri for period of "A
months, as shown by the State
Auditors books. is y S871, ,812.16.
The Democrats have saved exact-
ly that much to the taxpayers Of
the State in less than four years.
While Hadley is going about
the State attacking Major, Roach
and Gordon, he takes pains to
never explain, nor even mention
the fact Of his veto Of the bill re-
ducing express rates.

Commissioner Of Internal Revenue by
President Roosevelt, and who as the
South Caroline member OF the Republican

steadfastly stood for and endeavored to
bring about the nomination of Col.
Roosevelt, stated to-day that he did not
expect to bolt the Republican nOmina-
ton at Chicago.
When the temporary roll was made
permanent" he said, It accepted It as
the final action Of the representatives OF
the party in convention ASSEMBLED.

Why Less Meat.

Leading Chicago packers recently have
made statements showing that the in
crease in live stock has been far less
than the increase of population, and
that, while there has been no increase
in the supply of meat. the number of
mouths TO be fed is more by 100000
This is intended as proving that sta
tionary supply and a growing demand
are responsible for higher meat prices.
1t is not to be taken as meaning that
less money is spent; it shows that as
much is spent for the lesser amount.
This being so, there must be an in
crease in other food, which is found to
be the case with wheat In less than
a generation it has grown from four and
a half bushels per capita to six. Very
little coarse grain bread is eaten in this
country, as is the case in Europe. Ours
is practically all wheat bread. And in
addition there has been a great deal
more of cereals used for the breakfast
table which, added to an increase Of
one-third in wheat, should point to a
lesser use of vegetables as well as of
meat
On the other hand, it is believed that
the use of vegetables has grown. Mar
ket gardening has been expanding rap
idly, because there are far more vege-
tables used, not in special seasons, but
the year around, than heretofore. The
change in our bill OF fare is the choice
OF necessity, and it is plain that we are
using more wheat, cereals, or vegeta-
bles, and less meat, especially in large
families. This from a purely scientific
point of view is better for US. The vast
herds formerly filling our prairie5 gave
us the opportunity to have plenty of
meat to cat, but later scientific discov-
cries have concluded that this was not
beneficial Therefore, we should feel
that we are going a better way when
we hear of an increased use of wheat
50 long as it is converted into whole
some bread.

An Ill.timed Visit.

No sooner had the Ministry on the
Quai d'Orsay, in Paris, through its of
fetal organs, notified the Powers that
the French Premier, Raymond Poin-
earre, would pay an official visit at the
Court of ST. Petersburg on August 10
than the latter. let it be known that
Gar and Kaiser would meet the second
week in August, in one of the Finnish
Fjords of the Baltic, during the north
ern cruise in which both these monarchs
indulge each summer. The object was

although Russia is the ally of France

he is the absolute secular and religious
head of his country-continues TO be
tie kiusman Of the Kaiser and friend
of Germany, and that he will allow
nothing to come between them. This is
pleasing to German ears. It shows the
great influence welded by Emperor VII

INSULAR CHIEF
Succeeds General Clarence r. Ed
wards, Recently Appointed
Officer Of the Line.

Following the recent appointment OF
Brig Gen. Clarence r. Edwards, Chief
Of the Insular Bureau, to be brigader
general Of the line, President Taft yes
terday sent to the Senate the nominal
Edwards successor.
Col Mcintyre is recognized as one OF
the most efficient executive, administra-
tive and tactical officers in the infantry
branch OF the service. with which he has
always served. During the last seven
years he has been acting chief OF the
bureau numerous times, several months
in succession. He has had considerable
experience in both Porto Rico and the
Philippines
Col Mcintyre was born in Alabama
In 1863 appointed to the Military Acad
envy in 1882 graduated well up in his
class in laS6, and was assigned to the
Nineteenth Infantry. For four years he
was stationed at posts in Texas, and
from 1890 10 1894 was instructor smathe-
matics at the Military Academy. He
spent four years at posts in Michigan,
and went with his regiment TO Porto
Rico during the Standardization war.
There he was on the stan Of Gen.
Henry. the military governor OF the ISL

regiment. which had gone to the Philip
pines. where he served for two years
He participated as company command
er in the Aguinaldo campaign, and was
in several engagements. He was made
adjutant general OF the Cebu district
where he served for year. He was
selected for detail on the General STAN
upon the organization Of that body in
1919. He was the honor graduate Of the
Infantry and cavalry school at Fort
Leavenworth IN 1889.
The appointment OF Gen. Edwards as

helm in the very face of the entente
created to Offset his Dreibund policy.
But as regards the visit of Mr.. Poin-
carre to the Cars court. the French
Foreign Office could hardly have hit upon
a more inauspieious date or period for
a visit of friendship and good will.
When the Premier shall have arrived at
the Neva capital, hewill find the court and
people in the midst of preparations for
the centennial festival to celebrate the
retreat of the first Napoleon and
the remnants of his Grand Armee,"
after having been lured into the snow
and ice fields of Northern Russia, to
see his unsuspecting grenadiers perish
in the rigors of a climate which their
southern blood could not withstand.
And no sooner shall the official rep
resentative of his good friends of
France have departed than the Gar
shall repair to the holy Kremlin Of Mos
COW and thence to the battlefield of
Brodinow, there to unveil a monument
dedicated to the delivery of Russia
from the remorseless French enemies,
and to hold thanksgiving services, while
"Te Deums" will be sung throughout
the empire in churches and monasteries.
Add to this that it was a predecessor
of the Gar who, after Furnishing the
Corsican invader so summarily, gave
succor to the hard-pressed King OF
Prussia, his near relative, and helped
free that country from the yoke of
the same oppressor. and it can be un-
derstood readily enough why Gar
Nicholas, though allied with France by
reasons of expediency, religiously keeps
the traditions of the house of Roman
off in regard 10 Prussia and the Ho-
henzollerns.

LET'S MOVE SUMMER
CAPITAL TO VALPARAISO;
HEAVY SNOW IN CHILE

While the asphaIted streets OF Wash

sky yesterday. dispatches were received
from Valparaiso. Chite. stating that heavy
SHOWS had completely blocked all traf-
nc on the trans-Andean Railway be
tween that city and Buenos Ayres. Some
officials as they sweItersd at their desks
took the view when they learned OF this
report that the United States Consul
at Valparaiso was trying TO kid the
stay-at-home diplomats
II is stated that the present winter
season in chile is the most severe in
years and that 1t now seems imprOb-
able that the Trans-Andean Railway will
be opened before August or September
In the meantime, mail, passengers, and
freight from Peru and Chile must 90 to
Buenos Ayres by way OF the Straits OF
Magellan.
