BOARD OF ARBITRATION
FAILS TO MEET

The Mo. State Board of Arbitra-
tion failed to convene on Tuesday,
Sept. 22nd, as was the supposition.
The differences at present between
the employees and the employers in
the Great Lead Mining District of
Southeast Mo are Of such trivial ma
turc that it is the general opinion
among officials that there was not
sufficient subject matter upon which
to base mediation.
1t seems to be the general consen-
sus of opinion at present, that, mas
much as the severe drouth Of last
summer and the European wars Of
the present have caused a radical
raise in the prices Of nearly all pro-
ducts, and an uncertainty in business
circles, it would be better to let eco
nomical conditions remain undisturb-
ed as much as possible for the present
time being; or at least, until certain
conditions develop in the industrial
and economic affairs of the Mining
District which would imperatively ne
cessitate intervention.

DEMOCRATS MAKE GREAT
GAINS IN MAINE

The Democrats have made wonder
full strides in the Rock-ribbed Repub-
lican State Of Maine over on the At
lantic coast where it has been figured
a republican certainty of a majority
at all times previous to now.
These conditions in the vote of
Republican stronghold indicate at
once that President Wilson has en-
trenchcd and strengthened the public
confidence in his leadership rather
than weakened it.
Such a course, such a policy as that
Of President Wilson's with reference
to all phases of economic industrial
rational and governmental administra
tion can only be calculated to inspire
the confidence, trust and admiration
of rational, responsible and pa
triotic people.
We are not surprised at the 10000
gain in votes in NR re for the Dem
ocratic party.

Mr.. Robert c. Chalk, who for sever
al years made his home in Farming
ton but for the past four years has
been in Arkansas, was married on

Arkansas. Mr.. Chalk is now agent
for the Wells-Fargo Express Co. at

two years located in Morrillton in the
interest Of this company, and 1t was
during this time that he became ac-
uuainted with his bride. Mrs. Chalk
is the youngest daughter, and only
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Wyatt left in
the parental home, and is a very cul'
tured and talented young woman.
On the fifteenth Mr.. Chalk was ex-
cused from his duties in Paragould

PRESIDENT WILSON
Informs Colorado Fuel and Iron Co.
That Peaceful Settlement Must be
Made.

The Colorado Fuel and Iron Co.
recently told President Wilson that
his plan of settlement was not salts
factory whereupon the President in
formed the company that there should
be Il peaceful settlement of the griev-
anccs and that Judge Wilborn should
reconsider his finding and told him in
no mistaken terms that in view of the
present crisis in that state he
should not refuse the offer Of settle
ment definitely.
Judge Wilborn promised to confer
with the operators in Colorado and
have an answer in the Presidents s
hands in few days.
From the above it can be seen to
whom President Wilson is friend in
time of need and despair. These
Colorado companies have simply per-
mitted those dependent on them for
employment to suffer want just out
of tyranny and not out Of necessity.

FARMERS GAIN MILLIONS
AS RESULT OF WAR

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Farmers Of the
United States will receive more mon
ey for their crops this year than eV-
er before in the history of the coun-
try. Not only is the wheat crop by
far the largest ever raised, but the
returns that can be counted on safely
for this crop will exceed the greatest
expectations of few weeks ago.
In virtually every important wheat
raising section Of the country the
producer can now obtain 81 a bushel
for his wheat Two months ago
wheat prices were about 40 cents
lower than at present, and in many
sections farmers were not getting
more than 60 cents bushel for their
wheat.
Considerable wheat was sold at low
prices, but of the 900,000O00 bush
els that will be raised this year ii is
not Likely more than 2OO,OOO,OOO
bushels mas been sold at this time
from the farms.
A forty-cent advance in the price
of wheat means on 700,000,0O0 bush
els $3.50, 100000, and from present
indications in regard to the export
demand n reduction of farm prices
for wheat below the dollar level does
not appear reasonable. In fact, judg-
ing from the way Europe is buying
both wheat and flour, farmers may
not be willing to sell freely at 81.
Oats prices have been enhanced
about 30 per cent in the heaviest part
of the crop movement. On the basis
of present values for oats compared
to what they were at the beginning
of harvest there has been an increase
in the value of the crop of about $l75.
100000. Corn prices were high al
the beginning of the war, and while
there has been no export demand as
in wheat and oats to stimulate spec
ulative activity, prices are now th'
highest in years.

Charles P. Wilson, popularity
known as Pink, our energetic, sys-
tematic and pleasant Circuit Clerk,
who resides in Pennington and is a
candidate for the office of Circuit
Clerk of this county, was in to pay
us a short visit Wednesday evening
in conjunction with Hon. W. l.. Hen
sley, Legislator in Congress from
this district.
We predict that Mr.. Wilkson will,
when elected County Clerk Of this
county, institute the same systematic
and economic policy of administra-
ton that has so certainly marked his
management of the office he now
holds.

LAWYERS MEET IN SESSION

The annual meeting of the Missou-
ri Bar Association was held at the
Planters Hotel in st. Louis on Sept.
22nd to discuss matters pertaining to
the legal profession in this state.
There were about three hundred
leading lawyers Of the state in at
tendance and an interesting ant pro-
fitable meeting resulted from n legal
point of view.
The Missouri Code Commission,
which was appointed by Governor
Major some time ago to overhaul and
simplify the Missouri Crimina! and
Civil Code consists of twelve members
of which E. ]. White of Kansas City
is leading member.
Our Civil Code, and more especially
our Criminal Code, needs much sim
plifying and the many obsolete and
encumbering technicalities need eX-
punging as these have tendency to
hinder rapid progress in the admin
istration of our laws.
When the Commission has com.
pldted it's labors we have every rea.
son to believe that the way will be
paved for n thorough revision of ouI
code of procedure in this state
which will be very satisfactory tt
both plaintiff and defendant in civ
and criminal actions.

AN EFFICIENT PROSECUTOR

st. Francois County's Prosecuting
Attorney, Francis A. Benham, was
called to Marble Hill, the county seat
of Bollinger county. this week to aid
in the prosecution Of certain cases
pending in the Circuit Court there.
The fact that his services are de-
manded in other counties than his
own Indicate beyond doubt that he
is sufficient to the occasion and that
his ability as a public prosecutor has
been thoroughly established, not only
in his own county, but in the adjoin-
ing counties of this state.

HON. WALTER l.. HENSLEY
RETURNS FROM ST. LOUIS

Last Tuesday evening Hon. Walter
L. Hensey, our popular and renown-
ed Representative in Congress from
this district, returned from st. Louis
whittier he had gone about two weeks
ago to have slight surgical opera
tion performed.
Wednesday evening he made pleas
ant call at The Times office in con-
junction with Mr.. Charles T. WIKI
son, St. Francois county's able and
influential Circuit Clerk
Mr.. Hensley is very optomistic as
to the outcome of the November cleo
ton and made a few pertinent and
truth-laden statements as to the past
and present management of our Amer
lean Government.
In the course of his conversation
Mr.. Hensley stated that under the
former administration the committee
rooms of our National Capitol were
infested by powerful lobbies which
would connive and contrive every
conceivable scheme and plan to intim-
idate and hinder our committees in
their work, and prevent measures OF
benefit to the general public from be-
ing reported favorably, thus causing
the propagations of our Congress to
lay in transition, in Sunderland, as
it were, to sleep the sleep of death
in the pigeon-holes Of the committee
rooms.
That under Republican rule and
Cannonism and lobbies hourished, be-
ing able to dictate practically the
kind and volume of legislative en-
actments, that under the former re-
gime more than billion dollars were
spent for naval and military construc-
tion and equipment, i. e.--for war
preparation, and that this immense
sum when divided among tha states
would be $500, 100000 for Missouris
part of this expense and more than
$20,000.00 for st. Francois county
alone, which sum would be sufficient
to build many miles of rock road in
our county.
Mr.. Hensley opposes such whole.
sale waste of our public funds which
could be used for many other more
worthy and beneficial purposes.
He further stated that the present
Democratic Administration had cur
tailed this immense outlay by reduc
ing the amount of naval and militar!
construction, thus putting the gov
ernment on more economical basi
as TO expenses and yet not approach
ing the point of parsimony; that tn
business outlook of this country wa
never better than now, if we coult
only steer clear of entanglingl al
liances with European nations an,
maintain our neutrality.
He spoke words of approval an
warmly commended the actions an
policies of our illustrous President
Woodrow Wilson, stating that tn
Presidents policies in Mexico and i
the Orient had been productive o

LIGHT WANTS A SEAT IN
THE NATIONAL LEGISLATURE

Our friend Light, the sawed-off
solon, who now helps to represent
Marion in the Florida House of Rep
resentatives, was in to see us Satur-
day afternoon, and showed us let
ter from Congressman L'Engle, ad-
vising him to make the race for
Congress.
Mr.. Light is a farmer statesman,
the principal plank in his platform
is that 1.-The farmer feeds them all, :"
and the prosperity of the farmer is
the basis of all national prosperity.
II Light can win and hold the farm
err vote of the second district, he will
have a walk-over and cinch.
Its the Stars opinion that gen.
uine, well-informed, broad-mfnded
farmer would make the best sort of
a representative, either in state or
national legislatures. The farmers
of America, however, are not given
to voting as a class, and we should
not like to prophesy that any far
mer who becomes candidate is
sure of receiving even the majority
of their votes.

who could arouse sleeping banquet

Goodman, a business man of Balti-
more, at the Raleigh. Representa-

exception he continued. Last
Monday night in Baltimore, Mr..
Clark was programmed as one of the
speakers at the annual dinner of the
Society of Confederate Veterans of
Maryland. For more than 40 years
since 1S71-the late James l..
Herman of Baltimore, gave an annual
dinner to commemorate Lees BIRTH
day. Mr. Herman died last year, but
his executors, carrying out his GUS
tom, repeated the banquet this year.
There were numerous speakers, and
as is usual on occasions Of this kind,
there were some speakers who took
no heed of the feeting hours, and
they talked and talked.
when in the early hours Of the
morning, Mr. Clark was called upon
to speak, he demurred, because he
believed that the rest of the diners
were as tired as he was. The toast

about the farmer who plants corn

Duval is a very popular man, and
has all the qualifications of gen.

the Star knows of his views, it thinks
he would not be willing to enter the
race. If he does, he can carry his
home county with a rush, and if the
people of the other counties knew
him as we'll as those of Marion, he
could win in a walk.

1t has been carefully impressed on
the people or America and Europe
that the Japanese were so intensely
patriotic that their public service
was entirely free from graft. The
arrest of several Japanese army Off
GERS the other day, for selling sup
plies entrusted to their care, goes to
show that the yellow heather are no
better than other people. The dis
honesty of Japanese tradesmen is a
by-word in the East, and the extra
ordinary patriotism of their soldiers
and sailors has probably existed
principally in their own boasts and
the credulity of those not very we'll

o Robert Burns, We miss you not!
Though many years ago
Death struck his fatal blow and laid
The Pride of Scotland low;
Yet all he could take of you
Was but your mortal part
Have we not still your spirit, Burns?
Have We not still your heart?
Death cannot touch what is divine;
Nor would he ever dare
To rob the world of what was best
In Robert Burns of Ayr.
Deaths part of you, your dust, he hid
Beneath your native sod,
But we will keep the best of you,
That came direct from God.
'Tis an eternal heritage,
Which to the world belongs,
This spirit and this heart of yours,
In all your deathless songs.
