twenty years had waited to be put in
operation. The finding of a ground
upon which business could be con-
served and prosperity expanded, yet
both be made subordinate to the maj
esty of the law, was goal which had
been sought in vain, ever since the era
of the modern growth Of trusts and
monopolistic combinations had its in
ception in the last years of the pre-.
ceding century, and the first years of
this.
All these necessities have now been
met. All these problems have been
solved. The Wilson administration
inaugurated new epoch-the epoch
of reform, achievement, and the an
swer to questions of which the most
modern had racked the country for
more than Il decade, and the Oldest
for a century and quarter.
We have entered upon the period
of fruition. The business Of the coun-
try is to reap the harvest it has
grown, to garner it so that it shall
be safe. That duty is the task for
which the Democracy is the chosen ip-
strument in the Congressional cleo
tons of 1914. Democratic success in
those elections means that the great
benefits the country has gained, shall
be preserved for it without let handi-
cap or hindrance and that the way
shall be left clear for preserving the
durability and extending the scope of
the work which the Democracy typi-
fee and by whose performance it has
made its admirable record of achieye-
ment.

Some people have been impatient
with the administration for not rush
ing into war with Mexico. The Presi-
dent has followed for this long period
of time "a watchful waiting" trust
ing that it would not be necessary to
sacrifice American money and lives in
that war-ridden country. Patience has
ceased to be a virtue, or near so. The
insult that has been offered to the
American flag, the Stars and Stripes
that every true American citizen loves
and is willing 20 spill his life's blood
to save, is sufficient TO provoke this
nation to action.

gress has been rather slow in placing

It is not the intention Of this writ.
up TO enter into a general discussion
Of the many points that might hr
made BIO favor Of Mr.. Moothart a. %
candidate for tbi, ycry responsible
legislative position, but TO emphasiz.
briefly thai he Is cmincntly qualified
to nl the Office with distinction to
him elf and his constituency.
Nh. Moothart's name has been be-
fore the public Of st. Francois Couu
~ for the past nine years, duriur
which time he has been president of
the Moothart Business College in.
Pennington. In fact, Mr.. Moothar'
has been president Of high-gradc
chain Of business colleges throughout
Southeast Missouri, during the fifteen
years he has been resident OF thi
territory and he informs US that he j.,
now finishing his twcnty-fourth sue.
cessiyc year rs conductor Of cuisines
schools in the States of Ohio and Ms
souri,, having previously taught three
years in the Public schools Of Illinois.
The many features connected with
the successful operation Of these
schools, have served as the best pos
siblc developers Of executive force and
hoan observation Of the great publ.
questions that are constantly bcfor
the business and profcs ioual world
hence these years nf experience have
broaunncd Dis views $50 as to max,
him afc man to guard the interest
and welfare Of the citizens Of our i'm
pcrial county.
Mr. Moothart is a man Of sterling
habits. Interested in all questions that
tend to elevate his fellow men, and
being man virtually IN his prime,
backed up by the years Of experience
in dealing vita the various problems
that have confronted him and the com
munities in which he always took an
active part, assures him to be in cv-
cry way equipped as a lawmaker of
this great Commonwealth.
His making the campaign, and be-
ing elected to the General Assembly
will not interfere with the operation
of his schools in Pennington and
Bonnie Terre In fact, as n member
of the State Legislature, such will give
him and his schools added prestige so
as to be of great benefit to his gradu-
ates, many of whom are young men
and young women of st. Francois
County.
The Times particularly wishes to
encourage the candidacy of men like
Prof. Moothart. The position carries
with it very little compensation, such
that il is seldom a man of affairs win
neglect his business and seek the Of
fee. Thus when men of sufficient cap
ability are willing to make the sac
rifice they ought to be encouraged.

Iowa Falls, July 2. The much
touted Little Glidden automobile tour
Of northern. and western Iowa, which
was to have started from Des Moines
yesterday, under the auspices Of the
Des Moines Auto Club, seems to have
blown up before it reached this city,
where the members Of the tour were
to have taken dinner, and then pro-
coed to Clear Lake for the night. The
pilot blew into town an hour ahead of
schedule time. but stated he did not
know how many started from Des
Moines. A little after noon. Secretary
A. E. Nissen drove into town and
seemed to constitute the tour that was
doped to consist of from twenty five to
forty cars and an aggregate of hun
dred people. Mr.. Nissen stated that a
number Of cars showed up for the tour
at the designated starting place, and
had their picture taken. But when
Ankeny was reached the would be
tourists seem to have had severe case
Of cold feet and retraced their steps
Des Moinesward. Mr.. Nissen pulled
out of here for Mason City but said he
would abandon the tour there, as It
was rather lonesome travelling alone on
a trip with such a big name and so
much advance billing and advertising.
