Yesterday the Palatka base ball
Tub won a one-sided game from the
Hastings team on the home grounds
There was a good crowd sresent but
the game was too one-sided to be na-
teresting. Palatka won by score Of

This was Palatka's forty-second
for the season. out Of whth
number the club has won SO and lost
As an average this leads any club
in Florida, therefore it is perfectly
safe to say that the Palatka base ball

a party victory, the papers that
have labored persistently to
that end come in for little credit
for any reversal of public opinion
from those who have benefited
by it. In fact, the paper is not
even thought of in the jubilation
over a victory. A candidate. on
the other hand, gets out among
the voters for few weeks pre-
ceding the election and seeks to
influence the individual voter
how far is he successful? In
nearly every instance he cannot
show that he has made any gain
for himself or other candidates

the election figures. But in the

what it says in its last weeks is

not this confession that the

have had and still have good rea-

Missouri in 1913 was valued at
SO, ,494, ,064, against S34,82O,248 in

A Reflection From the South.

The national election for 1914
has become history. The all
important fact which politicians
are now laboring to explain
from their opposing view points,
is that the Democratic party in
the national House of Represent
atives has lost III votes. Its
overwhelming majority has
shrunk from 141 to the bare
working majority of "a.
We are neither surprised nor
disappointed. We are unequivo-
oally pleased. We are pleased
because we want to see real
Democratic principles triumph
antly perpetuated. This warn
ina-this foundation shaking
shock-was indispensable to fu-
ture success. If party leaders
heed the warning administered
by the people all may yet be well
with Democracy. II they do not
heed, they and their party 60

Sweet Charity.

With charity for all and malice
toward none, and merely in the
interest of distribution of gen.
eral good feeling, can some one
whisper into the ear of the young
er Rockefeller in a convincing
way that itwould not be a bad
idea to keep some of the funds OF
the Rockefeller Foundation, OF
which he is president, for relief
work in the United States this
winter-say in Colorado? Re-
lief of foreign non-combatants to
which the Rockefeller Foundation
has already begun to devote in
come is work of mercy of the
utmost Importance. There are
millions in Europe threatened
with starvation. Relief work
had been started before the
Rockefeller institution reached
the threshold of activity, but it
was apparent that vastly more
aid would be needed than was in
sight. 1t may strain the re-
sources of the foundation to cope
with it-doubtless will if it
should be left to itself.
At the moment in the United
States, the cry is for help for
Europe, and as there is much
opportunity for spot-lighting in
that connection it may be antici-
pated that responses will be OF
the nature termed generous. But
let it not be forgotten that it is .
time of unemployment and dis
tress in the United States and
that there will be poor here re-
curing aid throughout the win
ter and for whom some one will
have to sail Christmas ships if
they are to have food at Christ
mas. It is often quoted that
charity should begin at nome,
and it is almost as often said in
reply that the charity that be-
gins at home too often gets no
farther. But the good people
who habitually are charitable are
aware of the possibility of pre-
serving a balance of humanitari-
an effort. The need at this time
is to guard against neglect OF
our own poor in an excess of zeal
for the people of Europe who are
reduced to distress by the Grim
inal folly of European rulers

the Republican candidate for U.

but this scratching vote did not
go to Stone, who also fell behind
the vote of his party on Supreme
Judge. Reppy, the Republican
candidate for Congress was also
somewhat in disfavor with the

making bad m alters worse-and
themselves ridiculous-by claim
ing a Democratic victory on the
theory that the marked replac-
ing of Progressive votes by Re-
publicans makes this a two party
contest, so that the Democrats
really won against a solid oppo-
sition.
They are welcome to this
doubtful consolation. What sat
isfaction can they find in the
breaking Of the solid South by
the election of . Republican to
Congress from North Carolina?
Then explain the bearing Of the
election of a Progressive Con-
gresham in Louisiana, and the
victory of Progressives in thirty
counties and ono senatorial dis
trict in Georgia.
One more such victory and
the solid south is smashed to
smithereens. One more such
victory and the only national
Democratic administration in q
generation goes down under the
verdict of failure written by the
American people.
These reflections are inspired
by no desire to criticise. We
ore moved only by sincere inter-
est in the real welfare of the
country, which we conceive As
being inseperable from true De-
mocracy. Nothing can be gain
ed by equivocation. The more
quickly and candidly we acknow-
ledge the real facts the greater
the possibility of correcting mis-
takes and successfully appealing
for renewed confidence.
The correctness of our asser-
tion that the present admins
tration has never been strong
with the farmers" is more than
proved true by the result Of the
election. It was largely the far.
mer vote in all parts Of the coun-
try which turned against the
Democratic party of broken
promises. It was country dis.
tricts in New York, Illinois and
Kansas that bade Democratic
congressman to stay at home. II
was farmer counties which went
against the old party in Georgia,
The issue and the verdict were
not sectional. They were ceun.

Missouri Leads in Lead and Zinc.

Missouri leads all other states
in the production of two import
ant metals, lead an zinc, and in
the production of two relatively
unimportant minerals, barytes
and tripoli, according to a state
ment made public by the United
States Geological Survey in CO.
operation with the Missouri
State Survey. The State also
ranks second in the production
of mineral paints. The mining
and marketing of lead and zinc
ores in Missouri is of a character
peculiar to the State, in that the
ores themselves, or rather the
concentrates, are marketed pro-
ducts, and strictly speaking, the
basis of production is the output
and value of the concentrates, as
that is the condition in which the
product is first sold. In most of
the metal producing states, how
ever, the only method of deter
mining the value is On the metals
themselves, principally because
of the complex character of the
ores, which carry two or more of
the metals, these being separat-
ed in the smelling and refining
process. The lead ores of Mis-
souri, and of the other states of
the Mississippi Valley carry so
little silver that it is disregarded
in the assay and sale of concen-
trate. and the lead produced
from them is known to the trade
as soft lead" The total value
of the lead and zinc concentrates
sold in 1918 was $21, ,199, 35a,
against $24, ,937, ,161 in1912. Based
