President Wilson has written Il

session, and expressing the belief
that the voters in every congressional

Republican party is not; ii is strong

LEAD AND POLITICS

President Crane of the st. Joseph
and Doe Run Lead Companies has
issued statement to the effect that
for the present the output of their
mines would be reduced % per cent;
that to do this it has been decided to
run only five days each week at all
their mines except No. Q Doe Run
and No. II Hunts, which two latter
will be closed entirely. The reason
given for this is the prevailing dull
market for lead, accentuated by the
European war; that during the past
six weeks it has been impossible for
the companies to sell their product
and they have been accommodating n
stock of unsold lead This action Of
these companies is deplorable in
more ways than one, and throws out
of employment hundreds of men in
the lead district Of our county, so that
much want and deprivation are sure
to follow
Coming just rs this does, on the
eve Of a general election, there are
suspicious in the minds of many
that the action has been taken for
political effect; and perhaps there
may be some excuse for these suspi-
cions, as such things have been done
in the past, or rather reports have
been allowed to be set afloat that in
the event Of certain results of an
election the mines might be shut
down and the men thrown out of
but conditions are so
different now that the companies are |
entitled to the benefit of the doubt
in the present case. 1t is unfortun-
ate, however, that it should have come
lust now, for however groundless and
FOOLISH the inference there are those

WARNING AND ADMONITION

Only eleven days till the election.
hut if these eleven days are not quite
different from the usual few DAYS
preceding most elections, there are
going to be set ahoat many underlined,
insinuating and prejudical stories
against this candidate or that for
which there is no foundation in truth.
These fakes are usually designated
by shorter name, and as they fly
like chaf before the wind, the leaden
feet of truth has little opportunity to
overtake them before they have blind
ed not Il few otherwise clear eyes.
The only safe way is to shut your
eyes against such chaff. Be slow,
very slow, to believe anything against
your fellowman which an enemy NAV
say, especially those who have re-
ceived the Endorsement of so large a
number of reputable voters in all
parts of the county as to honor them
with nominations for offices of public
trust. While we speak especially in
behalf Of the men named for the var
ious county offices on the Democrat
&c ticket, we would not withhold such
need from our political opponents.
They are all entitled to honest and
courteous treatment. Abuse or sub
tie insinuations against the character
and uprightness Of candidate started
with sinister intent, does not make
him less good man and citizen
worthy your confidence. We should
be quick to resent the mean sefishness
Of such tactics as these eleventh-ho
ibels that would assassinate the good
name of any candidate in a desperate

Republican friends would like to mai,

mines alone produce 30 per cent o..
the worlds lead That is rather %
startling statement. but We are a..
sured by one posted m lead statistic
that it is true
The price Of lead in London TO-
long prior to the opening Of the f..
ropeau war was always d little in al
vance Of the quotations here, so tha'
foreign produced lead had no induce
mcnt to seek Il United States mark,,
to compete with our mining interest
For several years the troubles in McN.
leo have closed its mines and there
nave been no importations of lead
from that direction to menace our
lead industry. And yet, notwith-
standing the high price Of lead IN
London and the shutting off all i'm
portations from Mexico, the price Of
lead IN these years has continued to
90 down in the United States, from
which it is plain that the tariff had
no influence in regulating the price.
As we have said the United States
is the largest producer of lead of any
country in the world, and it naturally
follows that the export and not the
import Of this commodity, taken to-
gether with the home consumption,
regulates the price here. And now
comes the European war and puts a
stop practically altogether on its ex-
port, for while Europe because of the
war may have greater use for lead
than ever, it is contraband of war.
and any cargo Of this metal is liza

Disabuse your mind at once of such
an idea, if it has ever entered your
head, that the downward revision of

dent WiIsou't Administration is re-
| sponslbic for the diminished demand
and low price of lead, or for any ne
ccssity Of the lead companies of this
county reducing their outputs

The issue Of the Woman's Journal

progress Of the suffrage movement
in Missouri and a discussion of the
prospects for the passage of the 18th
Amendment, giving the Missouri
women the vote.
Among other things, it says: "On
the west of Missouri is Kansas, which
in 1912 voted full suffrage, and on
the east is Illinois, which only last
year gave presidential and municipal
suffrage. If woman moves from
either Of these states into Missouri,
she Immediately becomes disfran-
chised; for there is not even school
suffrage in the Show-Me state. Mis-
souri, men are beginning to realize
this situation, and if the work can
continue to 90 forward as rapidly
within the next few weeks as it has
within the last few, the leaders are
confident of victory. The women are
determined that their state shall be
the first of the Southern states to
grant full suffrage"
