northwestern Missouri have not met
with very good results. Now, in or
der to reduce the number of failures
as far as possible, the drillers have
asked the advice of the Missouri
Bureau of Geology and Mines and the
United States Geological Survey,
which not long ago completed joint
examination of the region. In re-
sponse the geologists have prepared
an advance statement to the effect
that conditions specially favorably for
the occurrences Of strong pool have
not been found in the Leavenworth
and Smithville region, though the
geologic structure at several points
which they mention is considerably
better than at others. According to
their statement there would appear
to be fighting chance of finding oil
or gas in small quantities in the re-
gion, though far from finding another
great Glenn pool the driller must not
be surprised if he gets nothing more
than showing of oil and gas.

John P. Gordon State Auditor in 1916.
He should have no opposition in the
primary, for he is stronger to-day
than ever before with the voters. The
people know good thing when they
have it and are slow to let loose,
John Gordon has stood by the tax
payers and saved money for the state
every day in the year. Always on the
job, always at his desk, nothing gets
by this watch dog of the treasury. He
has saved more than SsO0,0OO in prun-
ing illegal and padded accounts
against the state, the people like this
way of doing business. He has saved
more than $780, 900 in the collection
of collateral inheritance tax. The
people like this kind of service. There
is no way to measure the enormous
amount he saved the tax payers in
preventing Gov. Hadley's attempt to
increase taxes. Missouri never had a
more painstaking, careful and ac-
commodating official than this man.
He will be reelected but should be
without any opposition.

If one of you boys ever run across a

would make the song of an angel
seem discordant, and she says, as she
comes to the door:
"I can't go for few minutes I've
got to help mother with the dishes" !"
Don't give her up. Stick to her like
a burr to a mules tail. Just sit down
on the doorstep and wait. If she
joins you in two or three minutes, SO
much the better; but if you have to
stay there on the door step for a half
hour, or an hour, you just wait for
her. If YOU don't sombody else

For you'll realize what you have lost.
Wait for her, boy. She's worth it.

A Regular Sahara.

DURHAM, N. O The executive COM
mittee OF the Anti-Saloon League Of
this state is preparing to introduce q
bill into the next Legislature which
will make ita crime for any resident
Of the State to have any sort Of liquor
in his possession or in his home. It
will not be necessary to show that
the citizen attempted to give away to
his friends or to sell the liquor. The
very fact that he has it in his posses
sion or in his home will be sufficient
to send him to the penitentiary.
Therefore the new bill will be the
most drastic ever offered for pass
age. The present prohibition law of
North Carolina is extreme in its pro-
visions, but there is said to be more
bootlegging in the state than in any
other dry state. 1t is in the hope Of
destroying this bootlegging and the
keeping Of blind tigers that the Anti
Saloon League will work hard for the
passage of the new bill.

personal rather than on party lines.
But, whether it ever becomes a Ma
tional issue or not, we should think
that Mr.. Byran had enough important
duties to attend to without assuming
charge Of prohibition propaganda.
There have been Secretaries of State
who would find in the Mexican situa-
tion and in the greatest war known to
human history sufficient field for all
their energies and activities They
would be SO absorbed by their difficult
and responsible official duties that
they would neither know nor care
whether the liquor interests were "on
the defensiven or on the offensive.
A Secretary Of State in the present
circumstances who was doing his full
duty by his Office and the country
would have no time to bother about
prohibition or any other sumptuary
regulation. Mr.. Bryan seems capable
Of arousing himself to high pitch Of
enthusiasm about everything except
the functions OF Secretary Of State.

Our Secretary of State.
New York world.l

Mr.. Bryan is again greatly excited
about liquor. In this weeks issue of
the "Commoner" he issues proclama-
ton to the Democratic party, in which
he says:
ssThe Democrats Of the nation have
an issue to face, and they may as well
prepare for it. The liquor interest are
at bay; they are on the defensive.
They realize that they have but few
more years in which to fatten upon the
woes Of their victims, but they are
fighting desperately.
"The Democratic Party cannot af-
ford to shield the brewery, the dis
tillery and the saloon from the rising
wrath Of determined people.
Democracy is the Nations hope on
political and economic questions-let
it not, by taking sides with the liquor
interests, repel those who put moral
issues first.
ssThe liquor interest are a milestone
about the Party's neck'
We are not awarea that the Demo-
cratic party as whole is more close
ly allied to athe liquor interests" than
the Republican Party. The prohibi-
tion sentiment in the Democratic
South, is much stronger than In the
Republican North. Virginia, . Demo-
cratic State, adopted prohibition this
fall, while California, Progressive
Republican State, overwhelmingly re-
jected it. Senator Penrose, In Penn
sylvania, owed his victory for re-
dictionary Republication in no small
part to the support Of what Mr.. Bryan
would call the saloon crowd.
Prohibition is State issue, and is
likely to remain a State issue for
many years, with voters dividing on

A Libel Suit.

(From the Hillsboro Record, edited by Jno.
H. Reppy, late Republican Candidate for
Congress.)
Fridays st. Louis Republic contain
ed an article purporting to give the
expenditures of the various candidates
for Congress and for s}ate office. Con-
gressman Hensley's campaign e1-
penditures were reported as between
five and six hundred dollars and it was
stated that Reppy's expenditures
were $19o6.25. The report on file with
Secretary of State shows $106.25 as
the amount of Reppy's expenses, Un-
der the Corrupt Practice Act the
amount authorized to be expended is
something under 100000. In view of
the fact that our local contemporary
has charged us with having a slush
fund gathered from Trusts and Cor
porations we felt impelled to write to
the Republic asking correction. In
Wednesdays Republic the following
appears:
A CORRECTION.
To the Editor of the Republic In
your article relative to expenses in
congressional race, you say John H..
Reppy, defeated candidate, ETC.,
Thirteenth District expended 81 ,906.2 20,
which includes filing fees. Inasmuch
as this is just 81, 10000 in excess of
amount reported and in excess OF
amount spent, I would thank you to
make the correction.
JOHN Fl. REPPY.
Hillsboro, Mo-, Nov. 2S.
We do not, however, wish to reply
to the charge of slush fund made by
the Jefferson Democrat. Our reply
to that article will be suit against
our contemporary for libel and If he
or any other man can show that we
ever got cent from Trust or Trust
Company, or Corporation, as con-
tribution toward election purposes,
he and they will be given an oppor-
tunity to do so. If they cannot, and
we know, and they know they cannot,
then it will be up to the court and
jury to say whether it is any damage
to mans reputation to charge him
with crime as is imputed by the
article.

War Weary.

The obligation that rests upon de-
cent newspapers to tell the truth is
ever sacred and responsible one. AT
no time should it be more honored in
observance than during the continue
tions of the tragedy that is being en-
acted upon the European continent.
A period like the present stiffens the
demand for veracity made by public
that takes journalism seriously.
Right-minded people have wearied
of the unending procession of tales Of
horror, cruelty and destruction. They
are eager, even anxious, to address
themselves to the constructive policies
of peace. The distorted perspective
presented them by many newspapers
gives them just offense. The plain
truth is, the reading public is sick and
tired Of the montony Of the war diet
served up to them.
Yet how many sensational news
papers disregard their duty to theil
readers, and careless Of their obliga'
ton, deliberately invent horrors fol
the sole purpose OF claiming suprem-
acy in the publication OF exclusive
news.
Never in the history Of the news
paper has Truth beSnv so barelessly
handled.
No wonder the reading public Ii
