Just What Was Expected.

Senator John Sharp Williams,
Of Mississipri, who was the
Democratic leaG~4 Of the House
before Underwood, and who be
rated his colleagues in the Sen
ate recently for quarreling over
the selection of reserve cities
and other matters, declared the
party was beginning to do just
what it could be counted upon
doing every time.
The poor, dear, old foolish
Democratic party" said the
Democratic leader, is going
through the same game that she
can be generally trusted to go
through soon after she gets in
to power"
That is the Democratic
party true enough" he contin-
ued. That's it's history. That
is what led Speaker Tom Reed
to say in 1894 and 1895: You
can't last long because you are
not accustomed to governing any
body or anything; you cannot
govern the country because you
cannot govern yourselves You
are incompetent. "-Washington
Post.

IT LOOKS GOOD.

In our local columns we pre-
sent the proposed plan of our
county officers to raise an addl-
tiOnal ten cents on the one hun
dred dollars va uatiOn for cOun-
ty reuenue purposes, to be act
ed upon at the May term OF the
county court, as a means OF get
ting the county out Of debt in
two or three years. We don t
know whether tie plan would
stand the test Of the courts in
case a fight we've made against
it on Legal grounds. we can only
hope inat f it is adopted that
it VIII Ic accepted by all the peo-
pie n Tie same >.p:rit in which
it is projec(eo-thst it would
prove the quickest and cheapest
way of getting the county out Of
it's financial difficulties. Some
local legal authority claims that
the plan is lawfully feasible. By
this plan there would be no ad-
ditional tax burden except for
the single purpose of getting the
county out of debt, and that bur
den will be borne by all the tax
payers, in proportion to the as
sessed valuation of their proper
ty. There is only one way for
the county to get the necessary
money-from the people and, the
sooner it is done the better it
will be all round. In giving the
county debt question the pub,
licity we have, we have sought
to put no county official in a
hole politically nor in retaliation
of any personal grievance, but
for the purpose of awaking both
officialdom and the public to the
the urgency of the need of more
revenue. With this purpose
still before us, we give endorse
ment to the projected plan, trust
ing it will be found both feast
BILE and sufficient.

Who Pay. For the Ads.

1t is comm on to hear a on-ad
vertising merchant say that he
does't believe in advertising, but
gives the customer the benefit Of
the money he saves by not adver-
tising. Let US examine this
statement and see how much
truth it contains. Judicious adj
vertising sells more goods FOR
the merchant, turns his stock
quicker and makes it possible by
increasing the volume of busi-
ness, to buy.at bigger discount.
Increasing the volume of busi-
ness decreases the selling cost.
A merchant will sell cheaper, if
possible because he will thus
gain customers from his compet-
itors, and also increase the de
mand, as lowering the price of
an article places it in the reach
of larger per cent oil the people
and is thus a stim ulant to trade.
The price of a commodity is
bettered through the medium of
advertising. Take the automo-
bile as an illustration. Advertise
ing has made the automobile bus
mess. 1t overcame the prejudice
that existed against the machine
and created demand that en-
abled the factories to increase
output and cut the selling price
to less than 50 per cent of what
it was few years ago.
1t is readily seen that the con-
sumer does not pay for advertis-
ing, as the advertiser sells cheap
er than the non advertiser.
IT the consumer does not pay
for the advertising, who does
pay: 1t cannot be the advertis
er, as advertising increases his
sales, decreases his selling cost
and increases his profits. The
advertiser doesn't pay because
advertising pays him.
Then who pays for the adver-
tising: The non advertiser paws
for the advertising done by his
advertising competitor. All
business that he loses to his ad
vertising competitor is part of
the price he pays. The non -ad
vertiser and the poor advertiser
each in proportion, pay for the
ads of the good advertiser.

What are we going to do with
Mexico after we have licked her!
We will either have govern her
ourselves or put some Mexican
in authority who will rule that
country different from what it
has been ruled in the past, and
as all Mexicans are pretty much
alike and hate US with the same
cordiality, we would probably
have had our trouble for nothing
if we leave the government of

Is the Wilson administration
trying to bolster itself up with
foreign war? The sudden change
from policy of "watchful wait
ing" in handling the Mexican
situation to active armed ag-
gression and the seizure of one
of Mexico's seaports has follow
ed remarkably and suspiciously
close on the heels of the special
election in the Seventh Congress
sional district of New Jersey,
the returns from which struck
the Democrats with a shock and
aroused them to the peril the
party is facing-general discred-
it of the administration at the
elections next November Can
that peril have driven the lead
era of the party to the awful re-
sort of attempting to recover
it's fading political prestige and
popularity by war-on the dead
bodies of the young men of the
land and the grief and sorrow
in a hundred, yea, a thousand,
homes, it may be, of our people.
Our young men will rush to the
call of the flag, needless of the
causes that may have inspired
the call. If the soldiers of Pres.
ident Huerta were guilty of an
indignity to the American flag
in the Tampico incident, what
have not both the soldiers of
Huerta and of General Villa
been guilty of in their repeated
crimes against American citizens
in Mexico? Is an indignity to the
EN- blem of our nation a greater
offense than the numerous
murders of American men, WON.

ately into war over the other.

Our troubles with Mexico have
overshadowed the little civil war
within our own boundaries. Out
in Colorado the fighting between
the state militia and the strik-
ing coal miners is brisk, and fe-
rocious on part of the state sol
diery, who have spared neither
women or children in firing on
the camps of the striking miners
and more innocents than COM
battants have been slaughtered.
Capitalism is fighting labor out
there with savage fury and the
blot of blood and shame put on
the states escutcheon by the
governor in using the power of
the state to aid the Rockefeller
interests, which own the coal
mines of Colorado, to drive the
miners back to work or out of the
state will stand out in ignomy
while history lasts. More peo-
pie have died in this fight than
fell on our side at Very Cruz
in the recent izure
of that port by our ma
tional forces, yet the Colorado
casualties have received scant
mention in the columns of the
daily press, and the little that
has been said about it was color
ed as decently as possible for the
mine owners and the state forc-
es. We talk about the anarchy
and brutishness of labor, but its
offenses against civilization are
as naught compared with those
of wealth organized for human
exploitation. We are building up

kock File for Bootleggers,
3ooze Druggists and Dcctars

What to do with a certain class
of low down toot,leggeIn who
would about as leave board in
Jail as outside is a problem III a
few Missouri counties. Some
places have partly relieved the
situation by placing a large fine
and imprisonment against them,
then giving them the option of
leaving the county. This only
sends them elsewhere, and since
the wet towns are now crowded
with that fraternity until the
business is not profitable the on
ly thing left to do is to take a
chance in some other dry terri
tory.
But the r sal remedy has been
found in a number OF counties
and cities in the form of a NUM-
cipal or county rock pile. It is
almost pathetic to see the respect
amounting almost to reverence
the average worthless bootleg
ger has for a we'll stocked rock
pile, He may regard the moral
suasion of the Sunday school or
the humane and fatherly admon-
itions of the Judge only as pearls
cast before swine," but he GER
tainly has sublime respect for
a rock pile. 1t might be well for
the city or county to remember
that it's road material factory will
not be a large success IN itself,
for it won't be six months until
the real bootlegger will be scare
er than the proverbial hens
teeth. He just won't stay around
when he finds you mean busl-
ness. This is not joke nor an
experiment for it is working now
in a number of Missouri com
munities.
Then, too, there are a few
druggists and whiskey prescrip-
ton doctors that would stop
their foolishness over night if
they thought the booze business
would get them on the rock pile.
And there is no reason why the
sympathies of the community
should be extended to that vari-
ETY. of criminal outlaws. For the
doctor or pharmacist who will
take advantage of the profession
al right vested in them by the
state to debauch the citizenship
and defy their will as expressed
at the ballot box deserves to be
treated as a common and danger
Gus criminal.
In the main Missouri has made
vast improvement in the matter
of liquor law enforcement in dry
territory, but there are a few
places that need to clean house.
In this house cleaning two i'm
portant things must be consider.
ed-first, select and elect men
for every Office that has to dc
with the enforcement of the law
that not only have conscience
that will guide them right bu,
with a backbone instead of d
twine string that will insist that
the right be put into operation.
| Don't forget to begin early tc
organize your moral forces for
this purpose for you may be as
sured that the liquor gang have
their slate about arranged by
this time. The second elemen,
necessary is for the people tc
strongly back up your officers
who do their duty. II the moral
forces do not take care of those
who have risked all of their poll
tical future to do right you can
not expect strong men to even
run for these Offices when il
means only sacrifice followed by
certain defeat.-The American
Issue.
