REVIEWS THE PARTY RECORD
Governor Major of Missouri, Says
Democratic Record Is Excellent,
and Country Prosperous.

THE Democratic party in the
state and nation can confidently sub
NIT its fortunes to the people on the
records made. Never before in the
history of the Republic has there
been such an unanimous endorse
ment of a President and his admin
istration, in his policies at home and
abroad, as has been given President
Wilson.
"If he renders no sehvice other
than to conduct the ship of state
safely into the harbor of peace, he
will have rendered a service to the
American people which no sextant
can measure, and for which the
present and future generations ever
will bless him. In his grasp of hu-
man affairs he has been aDie TO
grasp and meet every situation.
! "lf Mr.. Wilson rendered no ser
vice other than bringing about the
enactment of the new currency lay,
making panics practically impossI-
Bile, and breaking the grip of the So
called money trust on the finances
of the country, and producing an
elastic currency to meet every situ-
alton, he will have given us a piece
of progressive and constructive leg
! islatiOn the equal of which mas not
been measured in an half century.
Aside from this, he has brought a
bout the enactment of the Under
wood tariff bill, trust legislation, and
many other pieces of nocstructlve
enactments which add lustre to his
administration.
at must be conceded that the
United States today, by reason of
our policies, is the polar star among
the nations, and that President Will
son is the one colossal figure in in
ternatiOnal life, and the one central
figure in the destinies of today.
'World-wide conditions, by rea-
son of the wars now in progress,
have made finances hard in every
country. The crucial period with
us, however, long since has passed,
leaving the United States in the
forefront in its commercial and f.
nancial achievements. Increased
commerce and activities in every
line sing the song of new prosper
ity.'-St. Louis Republic.

It is not believed that Governor
Mcdonald favors a special session
of the legislature under any cir
cumstances short of the greatest
necessity, and it is not likely that
he will consider a shortage of funds
by officials any very great neces-
sity to the people. He vetoed the
salary bill, and nearly all the other
bills which have jointly caused the
financial trouble facing the tax
payers of this state. All attempts
to interview the governor concern

Predicts Long War

New York, Aug. i2.-William f.
Cory, ex-president of the United
States Steel corporation, who got
back from Europe today on theLiner
Espagne, believes that the war will
last three to four years more. The
allies are going to fight to a finish,
said Mr.. Corey. They are now pre-
pairing for a war of at least three
years further duration. This is a
war of chemistry and mechanics
The allies will make every effort to
keep the friendship of America, and
if it continues as long as I expect
it to. the allied countries will have
to float war loans in America. As
for the United States, the only way
of keeping ourselves out of trouble
is to maintain an army and navy
the equal of any in Europe, II
would take us two years to get in
shape to fight a European power "

MORE TROOPS FOR TEXAS LINE
L. S. Soldiers Rushed to Border TO
Handle Serious Situation. Bandit
Army Threatens Outbreak.

Brownsville, Texas, Aug. l2.-Ac-
ton by the federal government in
response to the appeal to President
Wilson made by Governor Ferguson
of Texas who asked for an increase
of troops in the lower Rio Grande
valley, was awaited today by oili-
ciaIs who so far have not been sue
cessful in combating the depreda-
tiOns of bands of ranch raiders who
in the last several days have caused
the deaths of nearly a score of per
sons in these sections. Governor
Ferguson, in his appeal, declared
the situation was perilous and grave
and was doubtful of the ability of
the state forces and local officers
to longer control the situation
Citizens of Brownsville and other
border cities did not agree that tie
troubles were due to political feuds
in this section. Considerable eVi-
dence seemed to be brought forward
that the raiders were organized into
several bands working under the
plan of San Diego, a movement
started year ago at San Diego, Tex
5, where resolutions were passed
declaring for Wrestling from the u.
S. strip of territory along the bOr-
der to be added to Mexico.
While the situation was expected
to be partly relieved with the ar
rival in this section of the third bat
TALON, ninth infantry, sent from La
redo yesterday, expressions of OFF,
cials generally were that it would
require more soldiers to suppress
the movement.
The zone of the operations of the
raiders was widened to a large eX-
tent in the last "a hours, although
few additional reports of the dep
relations are reported here. The
latest meeting of the raiders with
troops was reported from Catherine
eighty miles north of Brownsville
where a band of thirty or more
attempted daring raid on the one
store of the town. They were frus-
trated in the attempt by Il dozer

New Game Law

Santa Fc, Aug. ll.-In ain effort to
inform the people of the state as to
the requirements of the new game
law, the State Game Wraden, Trim

several weeks compiling the state
game law and now has the cOmpil-

can secure a copy by applying for it.
The game warden has used much
time in trying to warn the people
of the provisions of the new law,
particularly as to the sections re-
quiring a license for carrying a gun
except when travelling, or, rather,
making the carrying of a gun prima
facia evidence of being hunting,
which amounts TO the same thing

he is very much disgusted with the

enforce it.

The Origin of Dixie


Like many other familiar songs
cherished by Southern people, Dix
ie" was written in the North. 1t is
conceded on all hands that Dixie
is the most popular of the songs of
the South, if not of the Nation. 1t
was not a product of the war; but a
peculiar and fortuitous circumstance
led to its adoption by the Confed-
crate army in 1861, and it soon car
ricd the people into state of inn
passiOned emotion, and today its
popularity is so great that in reality
it has become one of the songs of
the Union. President Lincoln had
great admiration for its tune, pos
sibly because he heard it sung to
Republican words in the never-to-
be-forgOtten campaign of 1860. AZ
ter the surrender at AppomattoX he
requested the band play Dixie "
pleasantly remarking that "as we
have captured the Confederate army
we have also captured the Confed-
crate tune, and both belong to us
There has been considerable dispute
over the authorship of Dixie 1t
is fact not widely known that Dan
icl ID. Emmett, the minstrel, was the
author of the piece. Mr.. Emmett
made his own verse and sang them
to some popular tune. He travelled
all over the United States ana was
the faVOrite minstrel wherever he
went. His. understanding of the ne
gro dialect was perfect, as was like
wise his rendering, Dixie Land, y
which is really the proper name of
the song written by Emmett in 1859
while he was a member of the cell
ebrated "Bryants Minstrels.' His
engagement with them was to the
effect that he should hold himself
in readiness to compose for them a
lnew walk around whenever called
upon to do so, and to sing the same
at the close of the performance.
Ollt CdJNll udy lllEuC olb'l IL p'i i'l ~
ance Jerry Bryant asked Emmett to
make a "hOoray' and bring it to the
rehearsal Monday morning. He com
posed the walk around the next
day, Sunday, and took it to rehear-
sal Monday morning, music and
words complete. The tune and words
/ of Dixie" as now sung are Mr.. EN-
metts exactly as he then wrote
them. The first verse and chorus
follow
