Line up and Make Taney County dry in Fact we'll in
A Decisive Victory

The election held in Taney county on
last Friday, March 18th, resulted in
the most decisive vote on the question
Of saloons or no saloons ever held in
the county. The vote in detail can
be found in another column Of this
issue. The people Of the entire
county were aroused 10 a sense Of the
duty they owed 10 themselves and
turned out on that day in greater
numbers than they did at the general
election held last fall to elect state
and county officers.
The dry workers all over the county
did all they could to get the vote out
and 10 see that they voted right, and
a good deal Of credit is due 10 the
persistent and untiring efforts Of those
men and women who took an interest
in seeing that the question was set
tied good and strong.
So far as the writer knows there is
not one of the dry workers who has
any sore place after the fight, and so
far as this paper is concerned it has
nothing personal in the fight at all.
There is no individual in the op-
position ranks whom we feel sore at
in the least. We were not after in.
dividuals, but after the business.
A general mass meeting Of the
citizens Of the county has been called
to meet at Forsyth on Monday, March
%, to ratify the victory, and to per
feet the organization made at the begin
ming Of the fight to dry up the county
and to keep it dry. In that respect
there may be some individual feeling
aroused before the thing is definitely
settled. Conditions are not 10 be al
lowed to continue as they have been
in the past, and a determined effort
will be made By the officers and cit
liens Of the county to eliminate each
and every illegal dealer in the extract OF
corn, etc., entirely from the county.
The Republican wants to congratu
late the voters Of the county on the
way they rallied to the support 6 dght
on the 18th Of March.

The House passed the bill by big
vote.
The penitentiary tangle is slowly
unraveling. There has heen a lot
OF shouting and tumult," but just
the same the contract labor system in
the penitentiary is going TO be aboli-
ished. The Senate bill and the Cor
nelius substitute for the original House
bill differ in three important particulars
the board OF prison inspectors; the
amount 10 be appropriated for establish
ing state industries in prison and the
date when the last contracts shall ex
pire. The Cornelius bill names March
80, 1917 for finally ending the contract
system, while the Senate bill names
December 81, 1916. In behalf Of
the March date it is argued that the
that the Legislature will be in session
as the contracts are about to terminate
and will be able intelligently to take
whatever action is needed. The mer-
it Of that contention is obvious, and
the difference in time-only three
months at most-is too negligible TO
to bubble about. The other points
Of difference will be harder to adjust,
but they will adjusted because they
must. The opinion is ventured that
Representative Mcknight OF Gentry
County, though under the ban OF his
party'S displeasure right now, will
some day be given full credit for the
nervy fight he made to redeem his
party's pledge to abolish the villianous
contract labor system.
The end-of-the-session rush has be-
gun. The following steering com
mittee Of the House is laying out each
days work: Watson Of kalls, Kelly Of
Linn, Farris OF Phelps, Dixon OF Nc
Donald and Staedtler Of Buchanan,
Democrats; and Stockard Of Greene
and Settle, St. Louis, Republicans.

sion Thursday was beaten, but night
sessions will be the order the final

Potatoes in Place Of Bread

II wheat remains at it present high
figure or continues TO rise in price,
and if there is corresponding increase
in the price Of bread, scientists in the
department suggests that the ordinary
household vii find it advantageous to
eat more potatoes and less bread.
With potatoes at 60 cents a bushel,
10 cents worth, or 10 pounds, will
give the cons mer little more &C
tual nourishment than two l-pound
loaves OF bread at S cents each. The

Facts and Gossip Of the DOings of
the General Assembly Now in
Session at jefferson City.
By BART B. HOWARD.

The Assembly will adjourn at six
o'clock Saturday, March 10th. The
House resolution to that effect has
has been concuued in BY the Senate.
The House has adopted resolution,
introduced by Representative Sprague
Of St. Louis county, making member
Of the Public Service Commission ineli-
gible for any State Office, elective or
appointive, during his membership on
that board and for a period Of two
years following his retirement from the
Commission either by removal or res
igna.icn. The vote was IS to Do.
They feel now that they handed
the railroads a package" when they
adopted that Damron amendment re-
curing physical valuation before the
Commission could advance passenger
rates and refusing to provide funds
with which to do il. The House had
bad case Of nerves when it took that
action. The impression that the Com
mission was trying to impose on the
Legislature a duty it should itself have
performed, coupled with the rival po
litical ambitions OF the Commissions
chairman and the attorney general
we'll, the House was sore" 1t Itseems
to be in a better mood now. i is
possible that the Senate will amend
the bill in a way that will make it
practicable Tor the Commission to ad-
vance passenger rates, il the railroads
prove their case, and that the House
will agree to the amendment.
The Gardner land bankbill is almost
enacted. Ii has passed the House
and has been engrossed by the Senate,
Representative Simson OF Lewis County
in charge Of it in the House. says he
expects the measure to reach the
Governor next week.
This bill has commanded more
attention and more study than any
other measure before the Assembly.
When it came up for final passage,
Mr.. Simson, who, by the way, can say
as much in as few words as any one
you ever heard. said this: Gentle
men, l don't have to make long
speech on this bill. You have all
studied it, You all know what it
means. It means fair financial deal
for the Missouri farmer something he
has never had before. But ! want to
say this: This relief for the Missouri
farmer, and for the American farmer
generally, is coming. 1t is coming
as sure as the sun rises in the east
Whether it shall come now or not is
for US to say. Whether Missouri
shall let this honor go to some other
state, and follow along afterwards, is
for us 10 say. But the most and the
worst We can do is TO delay this splen
did justice to our farmers. We can't
defeat it, because it is bound TO come,
and with it will come richer, happier
Missouri tran we have ever known"

desirable from a financial point OF view,
there is no scientific reason why pota-
toes should not be substituted to a
great extend for bread. In addition
the potato, like many fruits and vege'
tables, helps to neuualize an acid con-
dition in the body. This is another
reason for its being eaten in combin
alton with meat, fish, and other ami
NAL foods.
