A WARNING.

It has leaked out that the
brewery combine in St. Louis
has organized for the campaign
next year. 1t is reported on
good authority that the brew
ers have already arranged for a
fund whereby st. Louis will be
turned over to the Republicans
at the next election by not less
than 10000 majority.
The majority of us who re-
side in the rural districts of
Missouri have been inclined in
recent years to- let st. Louis go
her own way, and are somewhat
interested in the results. AL
though the Democratic party
has been liberal almost to a
fault, we find the big brewery
machine organizing this early to
ride rough shod- over, the people
of Missouri in the next general
election, just as they did in
1910. They openly announce
that St. Louis is 70 60 Republi-
can by 10000 in the next cam
paign. The votes, no doubt, are
all cast and counted now, and
the election will be merely
matter of complying with the
outward forms of the law.
The stupidity blind and fatu-
Gus policy Of financing Republi-
can campaigns appears to be an
instinct with the St. Louis brew
cry crowd. They will make
prohibitionists of us all, wheth-
er we will have it so or not. No
self-respecting people will long
submit to such dictation after
they find it out, and they are
finding it out this time in time
to prepare for it.
If the dry Republicans in
the country are as honest as
they claim to be and as intelli-
gent as they ought to be, they
will not permit their party to be
sold out to the brewery machine
again. The brewery combine is
a menace to good government
and an insult to the decent citi-
zenship of the State. 1t has no
right to dictate the government
of this Commonwealth. 1t may
hold the scepter of authority in
st. Louis. But there it's rule
should stop. There it's arrogance
should end. It should not rule
Missouri. The majority Of the
people of Missouri are not pro-
hibitionists, but they will be if
that is the only way whereby
the rule of the brewery machine
may be overcome. There are a
few dry counties in the State,
but they have become so because
of the lawless element of the
saloons and the brewery. COM
bine. While the majority are
not prohibitionists, they will
vote that way if the brewery
combine will keep up it's tactics.
A 10000 Republican majority |
in St. Louis, under control of !
the breweries at the next cleo
ton, means prohibition in Mis-
souri, at the first election there.

The body, barefooted and
clothed only in prison trousers
and shirt, was found two miles
from Marietta at 80 o'clock

lynching occurred about day
light.
The scene of the lynching is
near Frey Gin, on the Roswell
Road, short distance from
Mary Phagan's birthplace.
The dead mans wrists We're
locked with handouts. They
were fastened in front of his
body.
The rope about his neck had
broken open the wound where
he was slashed recently by his
fellow prisoner, William Green,
and blood had streamed down
the prison suit he wore.
There were several thousand
persons in the crowd about the
tree when the body was cut
down. Several men in the
throng leaped forward as the
body was laid on the ground and
stamped on the face with their
heels. The shirt was torn up for
souvenirs.

If Civilians Learn t. Shoot.

Civilian rife clubs are lately re
ceiving much attention. They have
developed a number of men who are
excellent shots with 22-caliber rifles,
indoors. at a distance Of so to rs
feet.
Comparatively few, however, are
able to handle the modern high-pow-
cred 30-caliber United States maya
zine rife and hit a target 1000 yards
away. Moreover, even were all our
men good shots, it must be remem-
bered that shooting is merely one of
the important parts Of a soldiers
training, and that it is a very small
part.
The soldier who can do nothing but
shoot has about the same relative
value as a polo player who can sit
on fence and WELD mallet skill

Goldfish Market Swamped.

A big thrush of Goldfish along the
northern and eastern coasts during
the latter part of June caused salt
famine in the Ancient Colony. The
salt used by the Newfoundland fisher
folk for curing their catch is obtained
from Trapani in Sicily and Cadiz in
Spain. Practically all the salt in the
island has been absorbed, and it is
claimed that about $4,000 tons more
could be advantageously used If it
were available At least this guam
tity, and probably more, has been
ordered, and should arrive during the
next month, but much Of it will come
to hand too late to be of any real serv-
ice. This shortage of salt is likely to
affect the banking fleet also, which
has had exceptional good fortune in
it's earlier voyages this year The
average price of cod paid last year
and the year before, both in New
foUudland and Nova Scotia was about
$3.50 per quintal, but with foreign
markets as they are at present it is
hoped that at least another twenty
five cents per quintal may be OBJ
tanned The fact that fish of late are
so plentiful is inducing industry, and
also stimulating smaller operators to
prosecute the shore fishery more eX-
tensively.

JAPS KNOW NO PROFANITY
Their Language Contains No "swear.
words" Unfortunately So Com
mon in the West.

The Jap is always polite, but once in
while he slips from grace-and when
he does he is up against it, for there
are no swearwords in the Japanese
language, says q writer in Leslie's
Weekly. When Japanese meets you
he bows three times and takes of his
hat, but does not shake hands. When
he greets you his first concern is
about your ancestors and next about
your stomach. 1t would be almost an
open insult for one Japanese to meet
another without asking him how his
stomach Jared. On the third bow he
asks: This morning, how is it with
your honorable inside9" AS you come
up on your third bow you answer 70
the effect that the place mentioned is
doing as well as could be expected
and ir turn ask him what news he
has from the front. Then he lifts his
hat again and says: Your delightful
head this morning, hope it have no
commotion." When you tell him that
you are pleased to report that it feels
well this morning he asks about
few generations of honorable ances-
tors and then you are free to take up
the weather.
Even though they are deliberately
polite, once in a while one Japanese
will get mad at another. Their anger
kindles slowly at first, finally tanning
to blaze that knows no staying. But
even though there is a torrent of emo
ton seething in his soul there are no
words to give it vent; it keeps surging
harder and harder until it throws
aside all restraint and gives up all
idea of decency by putting into one
phrase all his bitterness and swapping
squarely into the other mans aston
ished face the worst thing that can be
said in the whole language: Your
stomach is not on straight" This is
the final insult; nothing more can be
added-he has cast the glove. There
is nothing left for him to do but to
give his enemy a cutting look, turn on
his heel and haughtily clap-clap away
on his wooden shoes.

SOME FLOWER HINTS

Store the tender hydrangeas in the
cellar, and water only often enough to
keep them from drying out during the
winter.
Oxalis buttercup is lovely winter
bIoomer.
In showering plants, use force
pump, or garden syringe.
Fancy foliage plants are as lovely
as flower bearing ones, and much cas-
Ter to care for
Give the plants plenty Of soil; and
before bringing them in, repot those
that are root-bound.
Spray the foliage of the plants sew
eral times a week to keep free from
dust. Keep the soil only moist.
1t is impossible to overwater the
Gala, but water must not be allowed
to sour about the roots.
