The Federation of
Mo. Commercial Clubs.

. This organization embraces prac-
/ tically all the Commercial Clubs in
the State. In general, its purpose
and aim is the up.building of the
7 State, the development of it's re-
/ sources, and the advertising To the
world that Missouri is the best State
in the Union In which to live and
move aud have one's business. The
Commercial Club In each particular
city, town or village endeavors to
create public sentiment for the
building of good roads, the erection
of fine public schools, the beautify-
ing and improving of towns, and
making the homes, whether In towns
or on the farms, sanitary and at
tractive. These Commercial Clubs
also urge upon each county in which
they are situated the engaging of
what is known as Farm Adviser"
He Is first Of all graduate Of the
state Agricultural College and
scientific farmer, and in addition to
that a practical farmer, who has
worked oil the farm and knows his
job. His salary Is paid, one-half by
the county that engages him, one
quarter by the United States Govern
ment, and one-quarter by the State
Agricultural College at Columbia
from a special appropriation made
by the Legislature for that purpose.
His business Is to help the farmer
and to counsel with him as to the
best and latest methods of farming,
such as the selection of good seed,
the proper fertilization of the soil,
the proper rotation of the crops, the
care Of live stock, and everything
that goes to make farm management
attractive and profitable.
1t Is the aim of the Federation to
bring about these things In every
one of the III counties of the State
of Missouri, and then to talk about
them all over the country, SO as to
bring In desirable immigrants. We
want more people on the farms, we
want more people in the towns and
villages, we want to develop the re-
sources of the State, not only in
agriculture, but In manufacturing
and in mining. First of all, there
must be creation of the proper
State pride, the pride that wants to |
stay at home and help develop its
own State rather than chase rain
bows in some other part of the Union
where all sorts of fantastic and dis. |
promises are held out. |
Those who want to bay farms can
do so at reasonable prices in desir-
able neighborhoods where there are
public schools, churches, and good
roads. Missouri has today the
cheapest farm lands for sale, quality
for quality, of any State III the Union.

~ tants, who seem to imagine
that defiance of law, arson,
smashing windows and doing all
sorts Of wOmanlike things, is
the way to secure woman suffrage,
have much to learn from their sis
ter sutfragettes of America. The
latter are working along sane
lines with the result that in several
of the States women are voting
and holding office, and have at
this time the attention of Congress.
Last Thursday five hundred sup
porters OF vOtes-fOr. women, from
every State in the Union, visited
Washington and were courteously
received by the Senate, the only
body Of Congress in session that
day, to each member of which pc.
tlons were presented urging the
support of the Chamberlain's reso.
luton to amend the Federal Con.
stitutiOu to confer the right to vote
on women. 1t is said that pract.
cally every petition was presented
to the Senate. This does not
mean that every Senator who re.
ceived and presented the petitions
favors the resolution, but it does
mean that they are ready to treat
this movement with respect and
consideration. The women of
America are pursuing this subject
in reasonable and logical way,
and many good reasons and argu-
ments are advanced by those ia
vOring woman suffrage why they
are entitled to the right to vote.
Reforms Of this kind are slow of
contamination, but the success of
woman suffrage in those States
where the right of women to vote
has been conferred, shows that the
movement is gradually but surely
gaining ground. 1t is true that
there areKmany good and intelli-
gent women who do not favor it,
but the sentiment is spreading. not
only among the women, but among
men, that they are entitled 10 the
right, and that as rule their in.
fluence as voters, as it has always
been as wives, mothers and sisters,
will be on the side of public purity |
and integrity. The day is not far
distant when the prejudice against
woman suffrage will have died
away and the right constitutionally |
guaranteed them.

LEAD BELT MINERS VOTE
TO STRIKE BY ALMOST
UNANIMOUS BALLOT


UNANIMOUS BALLOT
Last Tuesday the members of The
several Miners Unions in the Leac
Belt, including Elvins, Flat River
Desloge, Bonnie Terre and Lead
wood, voted for general STRIKE
throughout the lead district. TIL,
vote is said TO be practically unani
nous, only Il few votes being cas-,
against the policy. The unions haC
made a demand upon all the com
panies for u raise of 30 cents day
In wages and "A recognition Of III,
union. The companies were giver
to August LIST to determine what az,
ton If any they would take. The
several lead companies took no ne,
| ton on the demand made, but H.,
managers gave out that they would
not or could not concede to the de,
mands OF the unions, and hints Of
| shutting down the mines and clos.
ing the mills II strike were insti
tuted were given out. OF coursC
such II policy would entail heavy
loss on the companies, for unles.
the mines were kept going with suf.
ficient force at least to prevent then
being flooded with water, there is no
telling when active operation could
again he started.
Bad and deplorable as n strike or
the necessity for a strike may be,
the closing Of the mines would be a
calamity that would be far reaching
Twenty thousand people or more in
the lead districts Of the county are
directly or indirectly dependent up
on the mines, all lines Of bushes 5
az well as the miners themselves,
and the bad effect would be felt by
the farmers, for whom the lead
towns furnish ready market for
everything they produce. Even re-.
mote parts of the county would feel
the depression. So that there is "A
general uneasiness throughout the
Lead Belt over the situation, and "A
hope that something may intervene
to ward off the impending trouble.
The vote of the unions last Tues.
day does not mean that the miners
VIII walk out at once. II only sig
niiies their willingness and read
mess to strike in an attempt to gain
their point. The action of the I'M
ions ii seems must be referred to
the Western Federation of Miners,
with which the Lead Belt unions are
affiliated, and which will determine
whether the strike shall be ordered
What action the Federation may
take is of course conjectural.
The companies claim that the
price of lead has gone down and
give that AS one reason why they
cannot comply with the demand for
an increase in wages, and the pro.
posed lowering of the tariff on
lead Is advanced as another reason.
Recognition of the union is not
touched upon. But the miners have
long been asking for II raise and
several requests have been made
70" IA new scale Of wage. The pres
ent scale is said to be the poorest in
the country. The price of lend has
been steady and fair, and as TO the
tariff, lead is usually quoted higher
in London than it is in this country,
so that the tariff can hardly be said
to affect the price here.

Objectionable on the ground that 1t is

before the fire." but in his instructions
to the jury plainly and clearly told
such jury not to regard any such testt-
mony or to allow any damages what
soeVer for the injury to such grass or
to the growing capacity of the land,
the introduction of such testimony is
deemed cured by the instruction, and
not ~prejudicial.

cost of building materials and labor
connected Herewith in relation to the

foot barn, and raised up nine feet in

toned on for a granary about ten feet
square in the northeast corner of the
barn" A Hypothetical question was
asked of q witness as follows: "'Now,

grow after years OF badness, and is
also un0Qualled for restoring gray
hair to It's original color, stopping hair
from falling out, and destroying the
