SENATOR STONE ON TOLLS
Lines Up With President Wilson on
Panama Canal Proposition

Il Senator Stone has been i'll for some
time in the United States Senate until
recently. He made speech in the
Senate, however, few days ago, in
favor of the Panama Tolls Bhl The
ers. He made an able argument for re-
tration on this question as well as 9TH
ers. He made an able argument for re-
peal bill. AS much has been said on
Z this subject with view of turning the
Irish-American against the admins
tration by appealing to their preju-
dices against England on account of
some pretended advantage the English
government is said to get out of the
Panama Canal business, the Senator
gave this phase of the anti-adminis-
tration Argument some attention We
extract from the speech the following:

afresh the ancient and justly inherit

England for wrongs sucered through
centuries of oppression. Whatever
the effect might be on others, it was

A DISMAL FAILURE

The few remaining leaders of the
one-time powerful standpatters met
in st. Louis last week for the main
purpose Of effecting reconciliation
between the routed and beaten stand
patters, and the literally inclined wing
known Is "Progressives." For the
past twelve months every standpat
paper in Missouri from the sainted
G. d. down to the little insignificant
bowler over on the corner, have as
sured their readers, that the 10000
Progressive voters in Missouri had
all returned to the standpat camp,
and that all was peace and harmony
once more and everything lovely in
the stndpat camp, with the standpat
goose conking way up high in the pure
and clear air.
Well. the still dazed standpat lead
crs met in st. Louis last week and
what did they accomplish? Answer:
Nothing! Absolutely nothing!
The standpat leaders brought from
Indiana, man by the name Of Jmes
Eli Watson, who was to do the con
ciliating and with his old-time elo-
quence of oratory so charm the Pro.
gressives tht all would come tumbl-
ing back into the standpat camp.
This man Watson was on hand and
was duly presented and introduced to
the convention by Mr.. Bablcr, the
present head of the remnant Of Mis-
souri, standpatters, and for one hour
and half this man Watson pleaded
with all the eloquence ut his command
for a reconciliation. He sounded the
old tocsins and beat the old tom-toms;
he assured the progressives that all
the past would be forgotten and for
given he patted them on the back,
cajoled and begged them to return to
their first love and extended the olive
branch Of peace with both hands; he
shouted, waived his arms, shed tears
of sympathy, until overcome with
patriotism he tainted and had to be
removed from the hall and revived.
But alas and alack! The Progress.
sives refused to be mislead by this
man Watson, and not n single pro-
gressive in that convention Cf there
were) accepted the invitation to re-
turn.
And now kind reader, you may feel
disposed to ask the question:: who is
this james Eli Watson. who was
brought to st. Louis to bridge the
chasm that yawns between the stand
patters and progressives in Missouri?
Well, listen, and We will tell you.
This man james Eli Watson is
standpat politician. (or rather was)
in Indiana until two years ago.
He is the man who two years ago
led the Taft forces or the Chicago
Convention; the man who oiled and
cleared the way for the Taft steam
roller in use in that convention; the
man who became lobbyist for the
great manufacturers combine when
the people of his congressional dis
trict refused to re-elect him to Con-
gress.
1t is to be wondered ut, that this
man Watson or airy ore like him failed
in his attempt to coax, induce or per-
suade Il single Progressive to return
after leaving the party as they did
on account of such men as Watson
and his kind ?--Perryville Sun.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
THING FOR A GIRL

William Allen White, in Emporia
Gazette: That some dress you've got
on little girl-lt sure is. That deli.
cate, clinging, crinky stuff is the pref
test cloth on the store counters that
silk Persian sash of many colors so
gracefully swathed about the center
section of your anatomy would knock
the spots of Of Joseph's coat. You arc
corseted and tailored according to
the most extreme mode in the advance
fashion books.
But your neck is too low and your
sleeves are too short, and your skirt
is far away tighter than skirts ought
to ever be. And the graceful slit ex-
posing your dainty left ankle shows
Il stocking above your pump that is
almost transparent enough to read
through, and you havnt any more
petticoat than rabbt-you know you
haven't.
Oh, you are some swell. you are
Have you noticed how the loafers
around the streets rubber at you as
you strip demurcly on your way to the
uplift lectures? And have you been
thinking, little foolish one, that they
are rubbering out Of pure admiration?
Ask your brother about it. If he's
got any sense he'll eth you some
things that will be hard on your vanity
and good for your soul. And if you've
got any sense he'll tell you some
for it; you'll lay that dress away and
don something that's wide enough
around the bottom to allow room for
two petticoats and one pair of legs.
For there never was n dress design
ed, little girl, that is half so beau
tiful as young girls modesty.

ICING PLANT TO AID
MISSOURI APPLES
Storage House In New Orleans, Pro-
jected by T.. G. Simmons, to Re-
b., lay Canal Shipments

A cold storage and ice refrigera-
ting plant to take care of Missouri
apples for shipment through the Pa
mama Canal to South and Central Am
erica will be constructed in New Or
leans by the Federal Fruit and Cold
Storage Company, of which f. G.
Simmons, formerly of Macon, Mo-, is
the head.
This will put Il new complexion on
the apple industry of this state and
materially boost the orchard districts.
The company will Acquire orchards
throughout the United States, but
most particularly in Missouri and
Arkansas. The first step in this dir
ection was the requirement of vast
orchard properties at Macon.
The plans embrace 10000 apple
trees. Simmons was reared in the
Missouri apple belt and has owned and
operated many orchards.
Everywhere the big Missouri" APP
pies are in demand. This demand has
been largely in the East. because Of
better shipping facilities.
Many places in South and Central
America have refrained from buying
the best apples because of the pro-
hibitive rates and lack of adequate
shipping facilities.
The storage plant and access
through the Panama Canal removes
the barrier.
The Federal Fruit and Cold Stor-
age Company will be able to handle to
financial advantage not only the best
Missouri offerings, but also the sec
onds and thirds, of which by-products
are made.--St. Louis Republic.

law of Mr.. and Mrs. Theo. d. Fisher
of Pennington, and in an other col
umn is found an account of their

His protection is not NECESSARILY a
revenue raiser. The tariff can be so
levied rs to burden the people and
raise but little revenue. II creates
wall so high that a bulk Of foreign
goods are shut out of the country and
the traiff tax merely enrichcs the
manufacturers and impoverishes the
people. The English people expert
enced this result when English pro-
ducts were forced up to famine prices
and the people saw the deception in
protective arguments, and became SO
vicious Corn Laws, but the entire pro-
tective system, never again to return.
Our country has prospcred since
the war not because of the protcc-
tive tariff, but in spite of the tariff,
and the arguments against protec-
ton in 1861, are still sound TODAY as
the principle itself is vicious when
investigated in the light Of history
and without bias.
The problems of all governments
has been, and still is, how to protect
the masses Of the people who are ST.

DON'T FORGET ARBOR DAY.
Flowers May BE Scarce But Looking
Will BE Fine-April "a.

Regarding Arbor Day, Superin-
tendent Devoe says: "Arbor day
takes on added interest and impor-
lance with the Introduction of agri-
culture and kindred subjects to be
studied in the public schools. The
rapidly increasing number of con-
solidated districts with their greatly
enlarged school grounds are afford
ing ample opportunity for scientific
soil and plant cultivation, landscape
gardening, and horticulture. Here
are special opportunities for Arbor
day observance but the need of such
interest is universal. Let Arbor
day be coupled with Bird day in a
concise and fitting programme, and
follow this with outdoor exercises,
the planting of trees, shrubs, and
perennial flowers, and the general
cleaning up of the premises. A pic
mic dinner for patrons and children
would add interest to the day, and
a stroll for the study of nature as
noted in trees and Towering plants
and birds which dwell among them,
will afford both pleasure and profit.
