THE Southampton, Long Island. n.
", Seaside editorially says: 'In the
Mexico (Missouri) Ledger Of Sep
tember 16, the editor, Robert M.
White, states that it was thirty seven
years ago last week that he became
the owner Of that newspaper. Editor
White is native of Southampton,
and was born at Wickapogue, being
the son of the late Albert White. He
went West about forty-five years ago
and made good in the newspaper bus
mess. The Mexico Ledger is one OF
the ablest and most Influential jour
nails in the Middle West and an i'm
portant factor in moulding public opiu
ion for the best interests Of all the
people. Editor White has never yet
been known to show the white feath--
. er when he goes into fight for the
right--he certainly has the sturdy
backbone and spirit of his forefathers
who founded Southampton in 1910. r
itor White has not by any means
forgotten his old friends in SouthamI
ton, for be comes here nearly every
summer to ming1e with them ant
talk over those good times of long
ago."

D. A. R. IN FAVOR
OF A DRY TOWN

The Mexico Missouri Chapter Of
the Daughters of the American Reyo-
luton at the last meeting unanimous
ly adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, the coming LOCAL Option
election is the most vital. as well as
the most immediate project for the
betterment Of conditions in our city,
we wish to put ourselves ON record al
follows.
We believe
1. The elimination of the saloon
would add inexpressibly to the de-
STABILITY Of our city as residence
community, by enhancing the com
fort, welfare, and safety of those
who are now living here and by a
tractlng new residents Of the better
class.
2. We recognize that every soul
possesses some influence and the
combined influuece of the members O
this strong organization must necessa
rily affect the situation in no small
degree.
3. We feel morally bound to pledge
ourselves to support unreservedly
and unequivocally the temperance
measure to be submitted to the vote
Of the people October 81.
4. We hereby instruct our Regent
and delegates to vote for the ad
vancement of the temperance cause
nd against the restoration Of the car
teen in the army at both State and
National Conventions.

THE committee on Fire Prevention
appointed by Col. C. A. Norris, OF

cleanup be made by Thursday Oct. y.
The Committee requested the Clubs

terest. This is being done. Our citl--
zens are apparently in accord IN ex-
pressing their belief in tho plan as
outlined in acting Gov. Painters pro
clamation, setting Oct. 9th as Fire
prevention day. Many Of them ex-
pressed confidence in the results
that will be obtained this year ana
IN the future. Many persons have
had their insurance rates reduced
by making certain changes and cor
recting faults in buildings, such E
shafts defective fire doors, open OF
broken windows. etc., etc, much 70

WHY should we arrest and fine
thedrunks In Mexicq2 If the people
are in partnership with the saloons
to raise money to pay the expenses
of the city, the drunks are a part oil
the proposition. Why should they
not be encouraged? Why should NOT
the "kids" be educated to drink so
that we might even have another sa-
loon, paying $4,000 more to the reve-
nue.. The girls might be educated to
participate. AS matter of fact, we
understand that about a block from
three of our churches arrangements
have been made so girls can secure
booze without trouble. Arrange
ments might be made to encourage
the drink habit SO that enough rev
enue could be taken in from the sa-
looms in addition to our city's e1-
penses, to pay a dividend. Every man
in the city might get a dollar or two
a year in this way. Really from a
business standpoint this is the logi'
cal result of the arrangement where
by ali sorts OF things are countenanc'
ed for revenue.

My dear Colonel:
We left New York August 2nd. ar
irving in La Paz on August 23rd.
From New York the sea was very
smooth until we reached Fortune Is
land; from there all the way to Sam
tiago and through the Caribbean sea,
rough. Mrs. O'Rear and myself wers
both sea-sick and tried TO extract
some comfort from the fact that a
majority of the passengers were in
like condition. We stopped at For
tune Island, Santiago, Kingston, and
were glad indeed to step ashore at
Panama and to embark the same
day on the more peaceful Pacific.
On the second day from
Panama south we ran In
near the shore and could see the An.
des Mountains almost all the way
down-some places they rise from
the waters edge 1000 feet straight
up. In the sea We saw flying fish,
several sharks, one whale, porpoise,
and many strange fish and birds.
On account of the Humbolt Current
running North along the West Coast
of South America from the Antarctic
Ocean, the weather is always cool
even under the Equator you need
wraps If you stay on deck.
We landed at Mollendo, in the
Southern part of Peru and happened
to strike one of the the few times,
when the surf there is running high,
so we could not step out Of the
boat, but a chair Is lowered by the
steam crane, and the passenger sits
in this and is carried aloft by this
very novel elevator. Mrs. o'Rear
when in the chair, closed her eyes
and, think, mentally bade farewell
to this vale of tears. and was much
surprised to be gently landed on a
solid wharf in two seconds.
Leaving Mollendo we at once be
gan the ride up the mountains, and
in six hours arrive at Arequipa, Pc

Arequipa we ran close to the river
which is seen 500 feet below a beau

tains all around painted every color
of the rainbow. Travellers stop al
