Election Laws.
<-1

The lastlegislaturepassed Z new
election law, which has caused
consider rable comment over the
state as it's first application will
be made this year. The bill will
be found on pages 3245 of the
laws Of l91a, and is i4 reterence
to travelling men, railroad EN-
ployes and students voting on
election day wherever they may
be. The bill is rather cumber-
some and am oiguous to the ex-
tent that its work in force prob
ably will not amount to very
much, The title reads that s.b.
sent voters from St. Louis Coun.
ty ard St. Louis City only will
be permitted thus privilege, hut
surely the intent was for the rest
of the state as we'll. Every ab-
sent voter Offering to vote any
other place than his home must
first make al affidavit before the
election judges that he is . quail.
fed voter at his home ward or
precinct. The ballots of such
voters are not put in the ballot
boxes nor entered on the poll
books, but together with the affi
davit must be placed by the
judges in an envelope and sealed
and sent to the county clerk who
forwards it to the voters home,
Thus if a drummer out of St.
Louis happens to be in st. Fran.
co.'s County on election day he
casts his vote here for his choice
of officers at home and his ballot
is returned to his home and
counted there, of course his bal
lot is not counted in this county
for local officers as he does not
live here. The law also reads
that this is permitted only as q
general election. The working
of this law will not increase the
vote of this county on account OF
its large transient vote as the
ballots do not go in the ballot
boxes but are sent to the voter s
home.--Farmington Times.

a heavy loss? The executors of
the estate of the late Adolphus
Busch, who was the largest
stockholdor in the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Associotion, and
who acquired an immense for
tune therefrom, in making their
first settlemnt with the probate
court, gave some fignres which
answers this question and shows
that those who invested in the
stock of this concern get re-
turns that cannot fall under 100
per cent per annum, and may
easily be double or treble that
amount, There is none of the
stock on the market, but it is
stated thatas high a. $50, 900 per
has been asked for it. We may
assume that no one is buying
the stock at that prohibitive
figaxe and that the shares have
remained almost entirely in the
hands of the original holders.
There are 480 shares in all of
this stock and the book value per
share is given at $500 by the
Busch / executors. This would
make the total original capitali-
zation of the concern only
$4,000. The cost of the plant,
of course, far exceeds this capt.
alization, but whatever addition
al sums have been expended up
on it have evidently come out OF
the profits of the business.
Now what are the earnings on
this capitalization of $24O,NO?
The executors report that the
earnings of the Busch share for
the last six months was 81 ,O78, 600
indicating that all the sharehold-
ers were getting profit OF over
50, 100000 year out of the bus.

are making such a hard fight a

business. No investor in An
heuser- Busch stock would lose a
penny of his money, he has had
it back a thousand-fold. What
he would lose, is the enormous
profit he has been getting on the
investment. When that has
been cut off by Prohibition the
money will stay in the pockets of

The situation in Mexico is growing extremely interesting and cmbarrass ing to the mediators at Niagara Falls While the mediators are trying to reach some solution for the Mexican situation which has developed the last few months between the United States and Uucrta. the constitutionalists are putting q new Ihase on the whole situation. They have captured one d.awing their armies closer around the City of Mexico and seems certain that Huerta while now held in Mex ico City is within the grasp of Car ranzas forces, is fast being eliminated as factor in Mexican affairs.
 No wonder Huerta's representatives are anxious for tho mediators to has ten their work and save Mexico City from capture and all the horrors that would follow such capture. If Car ranZa would fail or refuse to recognize the mediators in the final settlemen: of the troubles of his country but should take that matter in his own hands it then would raise the ques- tion whether or not he can safely bt trusted to bring peace to his country cut of the discordant clements which has brought the country to it's pres ont chaotic state. The fear that If Carranza should be successful and Huerta he crushed that the eXcesses which has characterized him in former instances would be repeated in the capital Is not assuring tO the people of the Tnited States and the rest of the world that Mexico has made much ad- vancc towards bringing about a last irg peace among the warning factions of that country, The United States has put its hand to the blow and now has the aid and advice of the great South American republics and if Is hardly conceivable that they will turn back till conditions are changed for the better in Mexico and a form of government is established which is stable and policy inaugurated which will insure a greater degree of justice to the masses of Mexican people with out which revolutions. mediators or American intervention would but ag- rrevate the present evils with which

 Many of those who have given time and thought to the advancement of the peace movement are interesting themselves in the suggestion that a bureau of international statistics GOV ering the facts of industry, commerce and other international relations might be of great service to the cause of international peace. Il is believed that the standardizing of the census of the leading nations would he of incalculable service to any one inter ested in studying the comparative and practical facts. International statis. ties, especially those connected witt the census of each nation might wei be taken under the supervision of ont international body preferably at Tho Hague. This organization would nat uraly publish international reports.
