Pertinent Political Points.
Under the present administration
the State will pay the farmers of Mis-
souri, $225, 600 during the next few
months in payment for dragging thu
inter-county seat roads. The road:
will be greatly improved by this drag
cling and the farmers benefited b,
the distribution of this large sum o1
money. This is another thing that
distinguishes the Major administration
from its predecessor.
In the elections held last week, the
Wilson administration received a
handsome endorsement at the polls.
The people like President who is
concerned for their welfare and re-
fuses to look at affairs through specs
furnished by the moguls of finance.
Every state, save one, went Demo-
cratic at the elections held last week.
In New York the. Tammany-Sulzer
fight demoralized the Democratic party
and the Republicans elected a portion
of the state ticket. The Progressives
held their vote in Massachusetts, and
polled a heavy vote in New Jersey,
Maryland and other places. It gave
the standpatters pain in the region
of the abdomen and caused chatter
ing of their teeth and a knocking OF
knees. The result is really greater
blow to the old Republican organiza-
ton than the election of last year, be
cause it establishes the fact that the
Progressive party is permanent-has
come to stay.
Champ Clark and every Democrat
in the lower house of Congress from
Missouri loyalty and enthusiastically
supported the administration currency
bill. Senator Stone is standing by the
measure in the Senate. Missouri
Democrats are with the President in
this fight and are proud of every
member of Congress who has been
loyal to the administration and the
party in this great fight.
1--WE have made half of the Jour-
ney," said President Wilson when he
signed the tariff and income tax bill.
1.-THE revision of the currency and
banking laws will take us over the
other half of the road and free bust
ness" he added. Missouri is ready
to make the last half of the journey.
Governor Major is the central fig
ure at the United States Good Roads
convention in session in St. Louis this
week. He placed Missouri at the
head of the good roads movement in
the Nation and wherever and when
ever good roads are mentioned Gov
ernor Major and Missouri instantly
come to the mind and our grand old
State is pointed to as the one that
Showed 'em" instead Of havingto be
shown. Good advertising for Mis-
souri,.
"A conservative with move on"
is the concise way in which President
Wilson defined his position more than
a year ago. The people are satisfied
with the gait the President and the
House under Speaker Clark hits, but
would like it better if the Senate would
pull more on the tugs and less on the |
breeding.
Our Republican neighbors refuse to
sell us any of those Scent hogs, 20
cent corn, SIS cows, $25 horses and
S calves. We do not understand it,
but we know it isn't right. They're
dicted such figures if Wilson should
be elected.
The police board Of Kansas City has
abolished the red light district, sup
pressed the immoral houses and made
a cleaner city. The St. Louis police
board has ordered the chief Of police
to rid the city of the vice districts and
immoral houses. Under this admins
tration the laws Of the State are being
enforced without parade and buster,
but with sincerity and earnestness
that gets the best results.
