CHANGE OF HEART.

THE irresponsible boss whose pol
itical action is guided solely by the
rule Of working for his own pocket
al the time" is hardly to be consider
ed a creature Of great moral sensi-
tiveness. His sole claim to public
interest and political influence is that
tribal loyalty by means Of which he
gathers and retains his following.
and q certain element Of picturesque
ness not strikingly dissimilar TO that
which invests the character Of Robin
Hood or the buccaneers Of the Span
ISL Main. It is this, perhaps, which
has VOL FOR a certain type Of political
freebooter the past tolerance of a too
unwisely indulgent American public
opinion. The yigor with which the
fedora! government is prosecuting
the election fraud cases IN Indiana and
Illinois is only one more Indication
that we are undergoing, in this res
pect, 2 change Of heart"-The Out

Despite the cold weather and bad
condition Of the roads the first
Monthly Stock Sales Day in Mexico
Saturday was a success. Compar-
atively little stock was sold on the
streets but a large number of mules
and horses changed hands in the iiv-
cry barns out of the cold.
A number of buyers we're on hand
and paid very good prices considering
the shape the horses and mule market
is in at present. All Of those who sold
were well pleased and stated they
would return next month if they had
anything for sale.
More mules than anything were
brought in and most all of the sales
were private although some stock was
sold on the square in the afternoon al
auction. Several milk rows were sold
under the hammer and there seemed
to be some competition between thu
bidders.
The committee in charge of the stock
sales day were much pleased with the
opening and prospects look good fol-
its growth in the future. Buyers and
sellers both expressed themselves a;
well pleased. A larger crowd thar
has been in Mexico for some time was
here Saturday.

FARM RENT SYSTEM WRONG

in many states custom has made
March l moving day. The renter goes
to another plaee-too often TO a run
down farm. Here he is to put out an
other crop and prepare for another
move. Thus continues a rotation Of
renters, thus is kept alive a custom
that is the curse of American agri-
culture. What this short term lease
system costs the individual renter in
money returns and what it costs the
land owner in depleted soil fertility
nobody knows.
THE disadvantages of the 1-year
lease are so obvious that it is useless
to attempt to enumerate them. How
ever, with live stock as the basis of
successful farming, special attention
may be called to the handicap that
both renter and land owner suffer.
II the renter lacks the ssuranc that
he will not be forced to sacrifice his
stock at public sale in the midwinter
months he very naturally declines 70
get much live stock about him, how
ever profitable it might be under diff
ferent conditions. So he sticks close
to grain farming, selling off his crop
and the fertility Of the farm at the
end Of the season. Then leaving the
farm poorer for the next man, he goes
to another farm that somebody has
left poorer for him.
"A plan is needed that will make
it profitable for the renter to own live
stock and build up the soil by feeding
on the farm the crops that are grown .
With a long time lease system.
and the assurance that the renter will
share in the increased profits. we shall
nave taken a long step forward Some
lmes the renter is naturally a poor
.armer, as has been charged. More
'ften he is the victim Of a rental sys-
EN- that is wrong."-Breeders Gaz.

OF MAYOR.

IN Germany, where efficiency has
become a national passion, the pro-
fession Of mayor Of cities has been es-
tahlished. The people of the German
cities reason in this fashion:
eve have here q big eorporat-
ion. 1t is a big business corpor-
alton and more. 1t is q big social
organization as well. On its eff
fcient management much of our
comfort, our health, our success
depends. Therefore we will get
the best manager we can find. If
he does not happen to be in the
city we shall go outside to get
him"
The Cities pay from $1,000 to S10,-
600, which is equivalent to much
more in American terms, and employ
their mayor-managers for a long
term Of years. After a preliminary
trial II he proves up to expectations
he is retained indefinitely. In the
larger Prussian cities his ability is
so esteemed that he is usually made
a member of the Prussian upper
house. If he shows unusual qualif-
cations he may be chosen a minister
Of state. The mayorality in Germany
really offers a career.
Isn't that the sensible way to re-
gard the Office? The results in Ger.
many seem to indicate that it is
Kansas City Star.

q A. Mayo, postmaster at Hunts
vile was held up and robbed of 1920
early Friday morning while he was
on his way to the post Office. Two
men robbed Mr.. Mayo and escaped.
The money belonged to the govern
ment and was taken home by Mr.,

blown open some time ago is still out

THE Mexico Commercial Club Is
for the good Of the city first and last
and any effort to make ar advertising
medium Of it for any local organiza-
ton no matter what its merits, should
be discouraged. Frequently talks are
made before the club whose purpose Is
apparently merely to give publicity
to a certain line Of business. We sug-
gest that such talks are decidedly out
Of order and should not be allowed n
the future. The purpose of the Club
when taken advantage Of in this way
is injured and the possibilities of i'm
proving the city generally interferred
with. If each member would attend
the noon-day luncheon and extol the
merits of his business the Club would
soon be in the same category as a lot
Of other notorious historical mistakes.

MCMILLAN WON JOINT
DEBATE FROM HANNIBAL

In their first joint debate Of this
season. tho Mcmillan High School
team. composed Of Charles Wright and
Alan COatsworth defeated the team
from Hannibal high School, Friday
evening in the Mcmillan auditorium.
The Hannibal debaters were Joohn
Phillip Sidney and Glenn DaIlhousen
with Rehick Ayerll, alternate. The
question for debate was Resolved,
that through appropriate legislation,
a minimum wage scale ought to be
put into operation in the United
States Mcmillan defended the min
imum wage while the Hannibal de-
baters opposed IL The judges were
Supt Thomas Of she Centralia public
schools, the Rev. Mr.. Hale, of Han
nibal and W. Z. Tydings, of Moberly.
Supt Sanford. Of the Palmyra schools
presided
Wright and Coatsworth defended
Their side Of the question with remark
able ability for high school students
Their argument was sound and clear
ly put, both of them being splendid
speakers.
Sidney and Dallhousen attacked the
minimum wage from all sides, back
ing each argument with facts in well
given speeches. 1t appeared from the
debate that the decision was not due
altogether to argument produced By
either side; it seemed however Ne
MILAN had the best side Of the ques-
ton. The minimum wage was thor
oughly gone over by both sides and
those who heard the debate were much
pleased with the information they got
on the subject.
Mcmillan will next debate Palmyra.

THE visit Of the Commercial Club
committee to St. Louis to see the In
ternational Shoe Co., officials regard
ing the opening of the Mexico factory
was a most successful one and from
the trend of the conversation it would
seem the local plant may be enlarged
at some not far distant date as the
number of employees could be increas-
ed quite a bit with but little raise in
the overhead expense. The officials
seemed little alarmed about the
suit. The story of the suit
was sent broadcast over the
United States. Industries seeking To-
cations will unquestionably feel the
attitude here is hostile to such insti-
tutions being unable to ascertain from
some Of the press reports that the
suit had not received the full appro-
baton of the residents Of Mexico.
For years we have worked for fact
cries. To anyone at all familiar with
the time and money expended as well
as the work entailed the present i'm.
preston abroad concerning Mexicos
attitude toward factories cannot but
bring n heartache. The younger gen.
GRAFTON may not recall wildly the
suits which drove a brick industry
from Mexico but the older citizens
revived the incident in expressing
their cisapproval of the present ac-
ton. The old Fire Brick Company
was sued on accuont of smoke"
Imagine a factory without smoke.
We wish there were a thousand smoke
stacks IN Mexico.
