Big interests and special privileges
are finding that there is a president
ut the helm different from Taft,
Roosevelt, or any Of their kind. For
mcrly all that was necdful to put a
stop to Legislation or policies unfav-
Orable to these was to cry hands off,
and the Legislative mill stopped. Not
50 now. 1t is not so much that the
interests have objected to the meas
urcS that areup for enactment into
laws regulating and controlling the
antitrust situation, as they are de
sirouS Of having the matter postponed
just to let the matter rest. They
are claiming that il will be better to
wait time. etc. Never "A better time
existed than right now, and while the
matter is partly done, let the work
go forward. Just as the St. Louis
Star says, the same arguments were
used against the tariff and currency
bills, but they were passed and there

on both the quantity and quality of

ents were exceedingly emphatic, one
man in Alabama stating there were

Increase in Milk Production
The owners of dairy cows in the re-
gion cleared of ticks are evidently
well satisfied with the results of the
work, since 95 per cent of the replies
admit that there was an increase,
usually very substantial, in the yield
of milk. The lowest estimates were
from Alabama and Georgia, these
two States averaging 10 per cent in
crease in each, while the highest av-
erage, % per cent increase, was from
North Carolina. closely followed, how
ever, by "a per cent each in Mississ-
ippi and Oklahoma, The average for
the J States is % per cent,which is
a gain of nearly one-fourth in the to-
tai yield.
1t is easy to see what great al
vantage this would be if it could be
applied to all the ticky cows in the
South. The additional milk would in
the aggregate be worth many millions
Of dollars.
Increase in Feed Crops and Silo
Building
That the eradication of the tick has
acted as strong impetus to the cat
tie and dairy industries is clearly ev-
idenced in the answers received. A
general movement in the line growing
feed crops and building silos is ind-
Gated. The affirmative replies to this
question numbered 9Si, or 90 per cent
Of all received.

FINISHED ABROAD"

A few years ago much stress was
laid upon that class of education
which was finished abroad" but
abroad" appears to have been moved
from Europe to the United States. 1t
is shown by official figures that the
United States furnished only 35l
students for German finishing schools
and other educational institutions in
1912. OF course these 1898 were from
northern states end twenty three
from southern states. The number
of foreign students enrolled at PTS
American Universities, colleges and
chronological schools in the year of
1913 not only reached the surprising
total Of 4,222, but this was an actual
increase Of 577 over 1911. Travellers
upon the boats going to, or coming
from, South America, are impressed
with the number of young men whose
mission to the United States concerns
the matter of their education. These
young men after graduation, have
proven their benefit for the American
articles to which they have become
accustomed, and in their business and
official life they quite universally
specify American equipment for for
clgn enterprises.
There are 1900 foreign students en-
rolled in the Undergraduate and grad
uate classes of art and sciences in the
United States. The next largest num-
Der is in courses in engineering, sol.
Medicine follos with 339; 300 N dent
istry, 275 in agriculture, and 25G in
theology.
Canada sent G35 students; China,
59i; Japan, 1886; Mexico, 232; Great
Britain and Ireland. PIP; Cuba, 209;
India, l62; Finland, 124; Germany,
l22. Every Latin-American coun-
try except French has representatives
in this group of foreign students. The
numbers range from two in the case
of Uruguay and Paraguay through
- for Argentina, ll3 for Brazil, to
the Mexican total of 223.

patcd would be his life work. Mr.
Bryan says, Il commenced with dcs-
ire to he Baptist preacher Before

his earlier life, Mr.. Bryan says that
he got into politics by accident and
stayed there by design" He says that
when he was first nominated for Con-
gress that there was no thought that
he would be elected. His comment
was to the effect that circumstances
rule our lives" Bryan says he has
gotten along so far in his languages
that he is able to dream in Spanish.
incidentally the Secretary has prac-
tically completed arrangements for
an active season on the Chautauqua

r. W. Martin

One Of the older and most loyal
Democrats Of st. Francois county is
Thomas w. Martin. Early in the
opening Of the present contest for
nominations for county officers, Mr.
Martin declared himself for the Office
Of Recorder Of st. Francois county
He is still in the race and asks the
support of his Democratic friends that
he may land the nomination.
Mr.. Martin was horn in the vicin-
ity of Libertyville, and was raised
here in the county. This has been his
home. He is one of those fellows that
is proud to call himself a Missourian,
and always glad to be shown. In
times past he has asked the county to
give him an office twice and came
within thirteen votes of landing the
office of Assessor sometime past. He
asks the Times editor to state that he
will most heartily appreciate what
ever support is given him, and hopes
that that support will be adequate TO
bring to him the nomination and also
the final election to the office to which

HOPE FOR CONSERVATION BILLS

There is hopeful prospect that the
five conservation bills, including the
radium measure and the Alaskan coal
lands measure, will be passed at this
session Of Congress. Secretary Of
the Interior Lane and Representative
Henry, chairman Of the House Rules
Committee, have been in consultation
with President Wilson, and have urg-
ed that the conservation measures be
added to the House program. The
people of public lands states have
long patiently waited for the govern
ment to act favorably upon their
measures, and it may be that the next
Democratic caucus will decide to put
these measures up to Congress.
