Why People Loved Him So.

His past, while not an open book,
had bitter lessons taught; the one
diploma that took in suffering was
wrought; in Lies exacting school
he'd learned how weak a man can
be; he understood the hearts that
yearned for love and sympathy; no
pieus saint himself, he know the
sorrow and the woe of others-he
had suffered too,-and All! we
loved him so.
He freely gave. not asking why;
no lecture throwing in; into no de-
tails would he pry; no sermon
would begin; he sought no evils to
correct; he gave because it pleas ed;
ne injured no ones self-respect-
enough, that want was eased. His
was the simple, modest creed, Let
not your right hand know" we
knew him as a friend in need, and
All! we loved him so.
Of his own failings conscious, he
no judgement sought to give; he
strove, unlike the Pharisee, to live
and to let live; unlike those "Holier
than thou" who sheltered lives
have led his eentleness would not
allow a harsh word to be said; moi
without sin. he undertook never the
stone to throw; his past was not an
open bOok-but, All! we loved
him so.

Sermon on Noah.

Ma test this mornin'. Breddern,
am took from de Holy Writ, where
in we read how Noah made de Ark
an fashioned it; he built de Ark OBJ
gopher wood, an he used a cubit
rule, while all de knockers sat
eroun' an cussed him TO a fool; de
local anvil chorus dey jes sat eroun'
an spat terbaccer juice upon his
wood an Knocked him jes' lax dat.
an SEE "Whafoah yo' maxim dis
hyah boat foah on Ian? Yo' all
a-thinkin' maybe, dat yo'all's a
sailah MANI"
But Noah paid no tenshun, ner
allowed he heard dem croaks, but
jes' minded his own business, lax
all good and proper folks; when dey
read de weddah fo'cast-"Mild con,
tinnered warm an fair" Ole Noah
went on bildin' an allowed he didn't
care. But one day de weddah
shifted; de barometer done fell, an
de rain came down in torrents
rained for fo'ty days -.lat's all; an
de knockers an de croakers drown
ed jes' lax so many rats, which was
jes' what dey had comin'-nothin'
lief excep' dey hats. An de moral
ob dis story, Breddern hit am writ
quite plain, dat whenevah' knock.
kers tell yo' dey amt gwine to be
no rain, jes' 90 ahead lax Noah, and
don't let'em get yo' goat, an some
day you'll have lax Noah, de big

From newspaper reports our Re-
publican friends are going to try to
fool the people again and make
tnem believe that it makes the
masses prosperous to give their
earnings to the favored few. But
then the old stand patters owe
something to the fellows who have
been paying Republican campaign
expenses and as the people have
swallowed the bait so many years
these trust fellows are going to try
to get them to do so again. Then
again the Democrats have given the
people so much good legislation and
the people know that it is good for
fine country that our Republican
friends have left only the tariff is
sue and that is left only because
the present tariff law has not been
tried out on account of the Euro
pean war demoralizing all trade
across the pond.

Cotton Seed at $50 a Ton.

Cotton seed took a jump the
other day and in Alabama hit the
hitherto unheard of $50 ton. In
Arkansas the same day cotton seed
went $40 ton and today is selling
on an average of $50 a ton in Okla
boma and Texas, all Of which are
record figures The war that's
the answer to the sudden rise in
prices. Why, six weeks ago mills
were paying $3.50 a ton for old
huliS. Today hulls are selling for
So 1 ton. The mills cut the Int
from them and get six or seven
cents pound for the lint, a big adj
van ce price for that product, which
is used in the manufacture of high
explosives. A cotton crop about
One-third less than last year and
big European demand for cotton
seed feeds also has operated to
boost the price 1t costs the Eng
lish, French, Swedish, Dutch or
Danish dairyman or beef producer
$50 to get ton of cottonseed meal
laid down at his door. yet at that
price it is the cheapest protein food
he can get today and they simply
have to take it. Cottonseed meal
or cake sells for $32 a ton at the
mill in this country now. Last
spring it sold for $24 a ton and in
the spring of 1914 the price was $40
ton.-Perry Enterprise.

The only people who receive any
benefit from a high tariff are the
people who by reason of the high
tariff can take from your pocket
money which of right belongs to
you. OF course the big trusts and
monopolies want Republicans in
power because under Republican
z lie they have grown rich at the
expense of the people

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1915

Our Repu lirau friends are hav-
ing the Democrat, revise the tariff
IL the interest Of the favored few
and cut all kind, of antics now.
This is all in the minds of our Re-
publican friends. The Democratic
party has always been the friend of

for put. The teacher tried to teach
them better. and one day after a
little boy had written a sentence on

II they could find the mistake.
Yes" answered a pupil.
Where is jt?" teacher questioned.
Why" answered the boy. he
went and putten purten where he
ought to putten put."-Ex.

Tobacco Without Nicotine.

Tobacco smokers who feel that
the habit is iDjuring their health.
who have tried to quit and could
not, may or may not be pleased to
learn that the government is de.
veloping a nicotineless tobacco.
There is theory that boiled dump
lings are good only when they are
"eummy" and indigestable. So
tobacco may be enjoyed only be-
cause it is poisonous.
AT any rate, it is the nicotine in
tobacco that doctors condemn Mic.
otine is the poison that causes
tobacco heart" and other ills.
In an experiment station in
Landisville, Pa, the government %
breeding tobacco without nicotine
The experiment began three years
ago. A number of tobacco plants
were analysed and the seeds of one
having the nicotine contents were
planted the next spring. From that
crop the seeds from the stalk with
the least nicotine were planted
again, and so on. until this year
the nicotine in the stalk had been
reduced by this process of selection
from 81 per cent to 1.31 per cent.

According to the Kamiah Prog
ress a delegation of citizens from
that place recently appeared be-
fore the board of county commits
cloners of Idaho county and were
promised an appropriation of
S3OoO toward purchasing the toll
bridge across the Clearwater at
hannah and making it a free
bridge. Under ordinary circum-
stances there would be little COM
plant about such an appropria-
ton but as things exist at present
IN Idaho county we can see but
little reason for spending county
funds in this manner. Idaho
county needs bridges across the
Clearwater and Salmon rivers in
several places but she also needs
roads much worse than bridges
The toll bridge at Kamiah is no
more of a drawback to the resi-
dents of that section than the
numerous ferries in this county
where price is charged to cross
the stream. The commissioners
might just as well try to place
the ferries on the free list as to
purchase a part of the toll bridge
That $4,000 would practically COM
plete road from the Joseph to
the Salmon river, giving the resi-
dents OF that section an outlet to
the railroad, or it could be used
to good advantage on other high
ways where it would be of far
greater benefit in developing our
county than in making the toll
bridge a free institution.

FRIDAY, APR. so, 1915.

The Grangeville Globe still con-
tends that Governor Alexander
ought to be censured for SANDER
ing Idaho county by making GER
tain statements when he vetoed
the Salmon river bridge bill and
contends the governor should at
least have offered an apology
after the mistake was called to
his attention. The governors
mistake was an eXcusable one.
He simply took the figures as
shown by the auditors report
from the various counties and
these figures, if taken from the
column of levies alone, do not
show this county up in very
favorable light. furthermore,
Idaho county is perhaps the only
one in the state that had to take
advantage of a state law to Sc
cure its rights by organizing into
highway districts and the govern
or was again eXcusable in not
realizing that such conditions ex-
listed here and looking up the
highway levies along with the
county road and bridge levies.
AS to that apology, it seems to
US it really belongs to the high
way districts rather than to the
county at large and as the gov
ernor has made good his promise
of saving the taxpayers of our
state a million dollars of taxes
our highway commissioners do
not seem to be clamoring very
loudly for the apology due them.
Instead of camping on the gov.
ernor's trail we might offer a
suggestion that the Globe get
busy a little nearer home and
have our commissioners explain
why they spent over ten thou.
sand dollars more money for road
and bridge purposes in the unor.
gained portions of this county
in 1913 than was collected in
these funds and then turned into
the redemption fund where il
will have to be borne by the en-.
tire county, and most of it by the
independent highway districts as
an additional burden besides their
own special levies each year.

LONG ILL, IS DEAD
Former Head of st. Vincent's
College Was a Noted
Educator.

Rev. John Aloysius Linn, c. NJ, for
several years president of the St.
Vincent College and pastor of St. Vim
cents Catholic Church. died in the
East yesterday, according to a tele-
gram received by Father 7. J. Levan,
the we'll known Cape Girardeau priest.
The cause of his death was not given
in the message to Father Levan, but
his demise it is believed was due to
complication Of diseases combined with
old age.
Father Linn left Cape Girardeau
quite a number of years ago, but is
well remembered by hundreds of resi-
dents of this city and surrounding
community. He was one of the most
popular pastors ever in charge of st.
Vincent's Church.
He went to Perryville from Cape
Girardeau, being transferred from thi ;
city because of failing health. He was
known all over the country as an edu-
Gator.

WHITENER ARRESTS NEGRO

Charles Johnson, a negro employed
by Duke Miles, last night was arrested
by Patrolman Whitener and locked up
in the city jail, following an alterca-
ton with another negro named Grant
Gravette, porter, in front of Green's
restaurant on Water street.
Gravette was standing in front of
the restaurant talking with several
companions when Johnson walked up
to him and without a word, struck
Gravette on the jaw.
The two men clinched and when
Gravette pulled away, he had been
struck several times. According to
witnesses he did not appear to do
much fighting against Johnson. The
fight was stopped by the arrival of
Whitener who separated the two and
took Johnson to jail. Gravette sus-
tanned minor bruises on the face.

Business Men to Protest Railroad,
Action in Taking Off
Train.

Passenger service into Pennington
over the Cape Girardeau & Northern
has been suspended, according to word
received from there, and business men
are planning a protest to the officials
of the road.
The suspension of the passenger
service was altogether unexpected, it
is said.
"The service, which was being given
seemed unsatisfactory enough but now
to make it intermittant instead of per-
manent, will mean a further paralyz-
ing of the business and patronage
which this line should get" the Farnt-
ington Times says editorially.
at is to be hoped that the manage
ment of this road will see fit to i'm
prove and extend its service in this
vicinity by installing regular and per-
manent service, and, if possible, by DO
