his party did, or. he is wilfully emitting
this very important fact from his state
ment.
johnson, in his capacity as senator
from Maine, was in just as strong a posi-
ton to help his State as was Senator Hale
while he wasi representing the State Of
Maine; and yet, no one believes that Hale
would have quietly sat by and allowed his
State TO be injured without strenuous
fight-party or no:party allegiance.
johnson undertakes to belittle the
general business depression, and it should
be made strong point against him and
his party that he.has no answer to show
why there isia million and and half more
men idle at the present time than there was
in 1912, and.the number is still growing.
And it is not public service corporations
only, but all lines of industriais that are
curtailing and discharging their en-
ployees.

Canada the markets OF the United States

A CORRECTION

What was thought to be the entire
list of candidates that have filed for
nomination on the different tickets
in st. Francois county, have been run
for an issue or two in the Times. Up
on a close examination of the list
this week it has been found just lit
tie defective. Inadvertently the names
of the two DEMOCRAT Candidates for
nomination on the Democratic ticket
for Prosecuting attorney were omit
ted. They are Francis A. Benham
and R. c. Tucker. We would like to
remind the voters that these two
gentlemen are in the race, and that
they have not quit at all, and that it
is simply the printers mistake that
the names were omitted from the list
They will be foundin the proper place
in practically the entire issue this
week. ua,g,.

COUNTY COURT HOLDS
SHORT SESSION

Judge Marshall, Mitchell and Moore
were in the county seat Monday and
Tuesday holding County Court. 1t
seems that an effort is being made to
have a settlement with one Otto Huitt
constable of Randolph township. How
ever, the matter was continued to July
9Th.
Some agitation has been going on of
late to get the Farmington-Flat River
road oiled. In looking toward this the
road should be improved, needing re.
surfacing. A company from st. Fran
co.'s County Automobile Association
went before the Court asking the
Court to give this matter some at
tention. The Court has been lust
as lenient as il has been possible all
the time it has seemed, and have all
the while endeavored to respond to
every call so far as possible, when
presented properly, and they could
hardly turn down so good a PROPOSE
ton, The move is goodone, and no
doubt the Court will take advantage of
the offer made by the Automobile
Association, as they proffer to oil the
Farminpton-F Flat River road IL tha
Court will put ii up in good shape. The
approximate cost Of oiling this sec
ton of road will amount to near
thousand dollars, it is estimated. The
association proffers to raise the mon
ey for the oiling. The Court having
the road put in good shape.

EDITOR TIMES:

EDITOR TIMES:
Without wishing to commend on
condemn an article that appeared iu
a recent issue of your local contempor-
airy relative to certain conditions cx.
listing in our Court House yard and on
the side walks, it has occurred to the
writer that surely Pennington, with
its residents cultured and refined
and church going people, in other
words, city recognized as school
church and college town should not
find it necessary to have prevailing
conditions which will cause and un-
favorable comment by the strangers
or travelling public coming into our
little city. This has caused great
deal of discussion by our citizens,
pro and con, and the writer hoped that
material good may result.
For a starter the undersigned here
with most earnestly suggests that
our city council and commercial club
get busy, and if such can be done at
all legally, have what is now known
as Our Court house yard, or lawn de
clared a Public Park, to be utilized
not only for the people Of Pennington
but of st. Francois county, and straug-
ers within our gates.
Every city our size needs q public
gathering place out Of doors; it needs
a park; it needs resting place out
in Gods pure atmosphere; here our
good country people may spend few
hours resting before taking their
journey back through the heat Of the
day; here the women may spend one
or more hours on the lawn, while
waiting for 'her husbands vino are
transacting other business; while now
they are compelled virtually to spend
the time in soma grocery store or OIL
some street corner.
The writer wants to see this beau
tiful local lawn bedecked with a wat
er fountain which will give to all its
pure, cool city water, free Of charge.
There should be ample benches placed
all over the grounds and Of course
there would have to be some one for
proper supervision: doubtless the Jan
itor of the court house could be Sc
cured for this at n nominal expense.
Certain rules and regulation would
probably have to be in force but if
these minor features would easily
suggest themselves, ii the project is
once assured.
Mr.. Editor, the direct object Of this
article is to cause lnls Public Park
question to be properly discussed, and
if the writer has been the means of
up that which will finally re-
suit to the good of both city and cour-
~ he shall be gratified indeed
Yours for Public Park,

A wholesale indictment of the citi-
liens Of Pennington for idleness is
without foundation in fact. There
are few folks truly, who choose to
loaf rather than work. who are both
able and need the work, if they would
earn an honest living. But it must
be kept in mind that there are quite
number of retired farmers living in
our city, and as well there are q num-
Der of folks who are retired capital
lists, having sufficient funds to keep
them the rest Of their days, and who
do not need to work. 1t is well that
both Of these classes can find it plea e.
ant to rest under the shade of the
trees of the Court House yard Some
of these men are past that age that
calls for labor; they are passing dow
the steep Of time far on the other
side. How pleasant it is to know
that they have earned a competent
and that now they can enjoy the f..
lowship and compauiouship Of fricn.

The good women of our land are to
be counted upon as leaders in the
forefront of every good work Of re-
form. In the sessions Of the conven.
ton of the General Federation Of Wo-
mems Clubs held in Chicago last
week, they took their stand on the
"dry" side. The account of the meet
ing as given in the daily press fol
lows:
The General Federation of Women's
Clubs went dry" to-day with n roar
that shook the convention building
In a resolution presented by the Res
olutions Committee and backed by the
second of the Kentucky delegation
the federation convention put itself
on record as follows:
Whereas, the liquor traffic is re-
sponsible for three-fourths of the
crime, vice and misery in this coun-
try,
"Be it resolved that the women of
the General Federation place them
selves on record as opposed to the
liquor traffic"
AS the resolution was read a storm
of applause broke from the convex
ton. The delegation from Kentucky
arose to its feet at the chairman's
call for second. Other states clam
ored for recognition, but Kentucky
won.
Not single dissenting vote was
heard. After the liquor resolution had
been passed there was more applause.
Singing broke out in three parts Of
the house at once and thus the women
drew their convention to an end.

A man named Bill Austin at Shell.
byville. ILL.,, died and his family and
neighbors tell strange tale about
his illness. He was about 20 years
Of age and had been in bad health
he had a severe spell coughing and
during one of the paroxyisms vom-
tied up a small snake. 1t was thought
he would at once begin to improve
but on the. contrary he speedily grew
worse and continued on the down
grade until death closed the scene.
1t is supposed he swallowed the
snake when 1T was quite small. He
was insthe habit OF drinking from q
spring on the place, lying down and
drinking from the spring itself and
it is supposed that is the way the
reptile got into his stomach.
