Weelis as follows:

Sol Wexier of the Whitney Central

this point in part as followS:

There were other kilograms and letters
all furnishing the same line of testimony
that bank credits were not being CON
tracted In any section of the country as
a result Of the long consideration that
had been given TO the currency bill.
Senator Weeks avowed himself In favor
OF central bank and approved the bill
reported by the Hitchcock wing Of the
committee except the guarantee Of bank
deposits. TO which ne said he was unalter-
ably opposed.
The FIRST two hours OF the Senate ses-
sion were devoted TO another acrimonious
debate over tho Kern resolution introduced
last Monday by direction of the party
caucus, providing for daily ment!ngs at
10 o'clock and night sessions. The reso-
fact the Senate is working under tho
same limitations AS are imposed by the
Kern resolution. but the Republicans say
that no long as Democratic leaders are
Disposed to attack them they will reply
and the resolution will not ha passed.

not maliciously negligent, he is whipped
or put in dark and bare cell 10 sleep
on the stone f>or. The best labor in
the prison goes to the contractors,
some OF whom have amassed great fei-
tunes in the manufacture Of shoes,
clothing, saddlery, etc.
But the root OF the whole nasty
prison matter, the source Of nearly all
Of the evils complained Of, and the
hindrance. TO all the reforms proposed
is the parsimony Of democratic law
makers and state officials for the last
fifty years. In the name Of economy
they have maintained the convict labor
system; they have permitted $500
prisoners 10 be crowded into cells tnat
cnnnot properly accommodate 200;
they have maintained old, antiquated,
dirty and filthy cell houses; they have
not provided room or facilities for out
door exercise; they have refused to pro.
vide educational facilities, though many
of the convicts could neither read or
write and most OF the illiterate have
craved teaching; they have refused to
provide ordinary water and sanitary
conveniences; they have compelled the
incarceration Of youthful convicts and
first offenders" with older and crime
hardened prisoners. They have always
sought to make money for the state
out Of the prison equipments and the
labor Of convicts and have avoided, as
far as possible, the appropriation Of
public funds for improving and mod
ernizing the institution and the penal
system under which the manhood and
moral and physical health Of the pris-
oners are seriously affected. They
have made the penitentiary dumping
ground for democratic party workers
seeking public employment, SO that
the guards and many Of the employees
have been appointed and retained for
political reasons rather than on account
OF adaptation to the duties to be per-
formed.
1t is bourbonism-it is The ultra con-
servatism, the slow going, poky, parsi-
monious policy of the democrats that
has made the Missouri penitentiary in
humane, shameful and intolerable.

Insects get S3O,OOO,OO0.

Columbia, Nov. 24.-That Missouri
farmers are setting aside $4,000, 900
annually TO feed lis cts is the estimate
Of Leonard Hasemar, chiet orchnd
and nursery inspector at the University
Of Missouri. Mr.. Haseman hopes
through the cooperation Of the farmers
Of the state, together with the aid
OF the orchard and nursery inspection
law passed at the last session OF the
legislature, to materially reduce this
amount.
A campaign Of education in com
batting orchard insect pests is part Of
Mr. Haseman's plans, Demonstration
spraying work will be carried on in
those sections where information is
needed; lectures will be given, and
printed reports distributed.
During the winter moths the San
Jose scale will receive much attention.
Nh. Haseman desires the cooperation
OF all farmers, fruit growers, nurserymen
and florists in the state.

Good Friends to PrOgressiVes.

The democrntic legislature Of 1918
passed an act intended to prevent re-
publicans and progressives from com
bining in the support Of candidates ac-
ceptable to both parties. The act is
clearly unconsii utional but a little
thing like that will not prevent the
democrats from using it, unless the
supreme court may be induced to
knock it out before the August primary
election next year. Meanwhile the
democratic press is lauding progressive
leaders, the democratic governor is
treating the new party as the second
in legal privileges, and the democratic
politicians are ready to supply money
literally to promote the schemes Of
the progressives. As long as the new
party can be used BY the democrats as
a bumper it will encounter no opposi'
ton from democratic party leaders.

Cold Potatoea.

In summer we will find II very con-
venlent to have cold boiled potatoes
for use In potato salad or for frying
for breakfast or lunch or for creamed
potatoes.
We now find bacon and eggs so
agreeable and also so easy to cook
with little heating of the house that
we can easily dispose OF the cold
potatoes by frying in bacon fat. This
will save using of meat while giving
a good tendency to balance the lighter
diet so desirable In hot weather.

The determination Of our govern
ment not to recognize any new gov
erament not established by the people
to be governed is approved by the
American people and by the friends Of
representative government all over the
world. 1t is notice to ambitious and
bloody men like Huerta Of Mexico
that the seizure OF authority will not be
tolerated by the United States. It
will doubtless put an end to selfish up
risings in Central and South America,
and will strengthen the force Of con-
stitutional government wherever estab'
lished.

A c eat Day at Protein.

The Protein local educational meet
lag was held Thanksgiving day and
was attended by al least 800 people.
The program, conducted by Vernon
James, president Of the meeting, was
very interesting TO all present. The
opening address was By Karl Marsh,
who ably reviewed the thanksgiving
story from the time Of the Pilgrim
Fathers TO the present day. Following
this were recitations By the children.
At noon free for all dinner was
spread out OF doors, consisting Of all
manner Of good things to eat, from
roast turkey to cherry pie. After all
had gathered round the table Rev.
John Crockett returned thanks-and
you may easily guess what followed.
At one O'Clock the bell rang and
the afternoon program began with Rev.
John Crockett's Dreams of Child
hood" After this came reci,ations,
songs and dialogues, closed by a talk
from the, county superintendent, who
took for his subject: From What
Source Comes Our Wealth."
Protein has the best school building
in the county except the S. of c., and
is located in one of the best farming
and stock raising sections in the
county, and within reasonable reach Of
a large population, which should natuI-
ally make Protein a good school towr.

GOVERNOR RAlSTOA SHIRTS WELL

Governor Ralston, Indiapa's new governor, starts in we'll. He insists upon carrying out the pledges of the platform-not to carry out the pledges of the plat form would, The declares, be a betrayal of the peoples conf- dence. He recommends an eff cient primary law, public utility law, an inheritance tax, a law against the sale of Watered stock and a workman s compensation act. Itis a good beginning. Ind jana Is a little behind some of her sister states but it looks like Governor Ralston intended to bring her up to the line.
 The season of bad roads Is on us again. What have the farm CTS in our community done about dragging the roads? What have they done b ou t substituting wide tires for narrow ones?
