bund Of federation of German Aid So
cieties will hold IL annual convention

Fred F'cin. is i'm Saginaw representing
the Hancock society at the convention

eighty-throe affiliated societies with

teen thousand and the attendance at

from two hundred delegates upwards.
besides their wives and others. making
the gathering one of much Importance
numerically. The state convention has
never been held north Of the straits
heretofore and the honor of securing IL

and particularly by the German resi-
dents of the copper country who will
make next years convention a mem
orable one to those attending. a pro-
gram of entertainment will be worked
out and trips to various points will be
planned in order that the visitors from
lower Michigan may be given every

1t does not seem reasonable to be-
lieye the people Of Missouri favor
classes or hold that there are some who
should have greater ad, altages than
others. Whether or not this is true
will be determined after the November
election according to the fate that will
be accorded to the school mill tax
amendment. This amendment gives
the opportunity to give to the rural
children good schools, high grade
teachers, and, in fact, everything for
the making Of a first class education
equal in all respects 10 that offered in
the big cities. II the rural voters Of
the state defeat this amendment il will
be equivalent to saying we don't
want good schools for our children, we
are inferior 10 the city folks, our boys
and girls out here in the country do
not deserve a good education, they
are lunkheads, anyway. Let the city
children grow up and grab everything
/ they haye-that's what we are working
ior-to leave our earnings 10 be COB
bled up by those Of superior advan
tages." Are the people OF this grea
state in this frame of mind? Tht
school mill tax amendment will be OF
the November ballot and the question
! will be answered.

This Paper Day Early fancy County

Of our lands, ard back Of the Equitable
Taxation League are men whose Tor
tunes ave are invested in bonds aud
securities, who care nothing for patriot
ism and good citizenship with whom
the love Of the dollar comes before
manhood and counlyl
The silver lining 10 the cloud, how
ever, is the spirit Of fair play which
has always characterized the mass OF
the people Of Missouri irrespective Of
class or station. We cannot deal this
staggering blow TO Missouri agriculture
without bringing down upon our heads
the whole super structure Of our com
mercial prosperity in the large cities OF
the state and | feel confident if we
make the proper appeal we will find
the banker, the merchant, the manu-
tacturer and the highminded laboring
man side by side with US in this con-
test. There is, however, no time to
lose. Every county in the state should
at once perfect an organization which
will reach into every school district,
The issue is so great that we cannot
afford to take any chances. The op-
position has campaign fund amount
ing 10 many thousands Of dollars and
will leave nothing undone to accom-.
plish its ends. They are thoroughly
organized and we must organize if we
expect TO defeat them. Remember it
requires only bare majority Of those
voting upon the amendment to pass
it. As evidence of my earnestness in
this matter | propose from now until
the first Of November to donate 40
per cent Of all the subscription receipts
OF The Missouri Farmer, which is the
only farm paper in the state that has
fought the single tax, to a campaign
fund against this outrageously unfair
measure. There are in round numbers
| 277, 900 farmers in Missouri. The
subscription price OF The Missouri
Farmer is SOC, and il $4,000 out of
these 277,000 farmers will send us
their subscription it will enable US to
turn over $4,000 to the State Anti.
Single Tax League, which is sorely in
need Of funds for literature, etc. By
reading The Missouri Farmer, which
WAS specifically commended in resolu-
tions adopted by the State Anti Single
Tax Convention which met at Jefferson
City, Aug, 80, you will be kept in
close touch with this measure which
seeks TO confscate the farm homes and
realty values Of our great common
wealth.

No, Roosevelt didn't carry Vermont
and he will not carry it in November.
About $4,000 voters who might have
voted the republican ticket had Roose-
yelt gone to heaven a few weeks ago
voted for Bull Moose candidates for
state Offices but the republicans elected
the Legislature which will elect a re-
publican governor, nc candidate fer
that Office having received majority
Of all the votes cast, as required by the
constitution Of the state. Vermont,
like all the other states, will vote for
president in November and is sure to
20 for TAFT.

1t is really wonderful how the Amer
ican people sober up and become sens
ible in November after the iussing and
tuning in July and August and Sep
tember. October is a ripening month
in politics. Everything plucked green
before that time is apt to prove rotten
when the good fruit is garnered. Don't
get plucked too soon.

Judge Nortoni ran for Judge of the
St. Louis court o! appeals at time
wheu it was not believed the district
would elect republican, but it did,
and Nortoni got good, soft snap for
twelve years. Having six more years
10 serve it is now a matter of guessing
whether he will give up such a good
thing Tor the very doubtful prospect of
being elected governor on the pro-
pressive ticket. He will probably hold
on to the bird in hand while trying to
throw salt on the tails Of the two birds
in the bush.
