We are pleased to give space to
the following comments in last weeks
issue of the Odessa, Missouri, papers.
1t seems as though the friends of
Prof. Moothart, wherever he is known,
feel that his training in the Business
College work and higher accounting
has been such as to make him one of
the best qualified "spoken-of- candi-
dates" for the important office of
State Auditor next year. The Pro-
fessor is yet undecided as to just what
he will do in the matter, but duly APP
preciates all such kind and unsolicit-
ed encomiums in his behalf Here are
the clippings:
"Prof G. w. Moothart, who has
charge of the Business University of
Pennington, is visiting Judge and
Mrs. j. S. Grosshart this week. Prof.
Moothart is spoken of by his many
friends as an ideal candidate for State
Auditor next year. He is lifelong
Democrat, well qualified for the place,
being an expert accountant himself
and teacher thereof. Doubtless Lar
Fayette county will give him big
vote should he decide to make the
race for the nomination.-Od Odessa
(Mo.) Democrat, July %, 1915.
"Prof. Moothart and sons, Warden
and William, of Pennington are this
week visiting Judge and Mrs. Gross
hart. We understand that Prof
Moothart has been urged by the
Democrats wherever he is known to
become candidate for the nominal
ton of State Auditor to succeed Mr..
Gordon. Professor Moothart was
formerly a resident of Odessa, being
vice-president of the college here sew
eral years, but has made Southeast
Missouri his home during the past
ten years. Everyone in Odessa
knows that Mr.. Moothart is we'll
qualified for the place, as he has
made the teaching of Accounts and
Auditing his life study and work.

On Friday, July 30, 1915, Senator
Jasper N. Burks celebrated his 74th
birthday, and quite few friends call
ed on him to express their desire that
he may yet have many other birth
days to enjoy.
Senator Burks has resided in this
city and county for more than quar-
ter of century and has made many
warm friends.
In politics, he is an uncompromis-
ing Democrat, and has served his
home county-Ste. Genevieve--in the
Legislature, and this Senatorial dis
trict in the State Senate, besides hav-
ing held few appointive Offices; he
also served on the State Democratic
Committee. He is Democrat and a
gentleman of the "old school,"
His commanding physical appear
ance, his profound knowledge of hui
man nature and his exceptionally fine
oratorical gifts, have long held him
in the foremost as lawyer; and dur
ing all his life he has possessed pos
tive character and when principle
was involved, has ever been aggres-
sive for the things he thought was
right; he is as tender-hearted as a
child, and it is generally known among
his friends, that his chaste and pro-
found regard for women and children
was unlimited. One peculiar trait Of
his character is that he was never
known to tell "smuty story" nor
listen to one told by another.
He was a close friend of Senator
George G. Vest, Martin L. Clardy
John o. Day, Judge James D.. Fox
and many others of like character
during his long and active political
career.
You can't go into any county in
Missouri, but that some prominent
citizen will not ask you (if you make
it known that you live here) of SEN
ator Jasper N. Burks, and who will
not tell you of some great speech he
heard him make or of some kindly
act he did unsolicited.
This county and State is honored
by his living among us. We congrat-
ulate our fellow-townsman on this
important event.

1t has been reported that the St
Joseph Lead Company is now earn
ing 40 per cent on its capital stock,
and that its directors at their meet
ing in September will declare a
stock dividend of Is per cent, where
as it is now paying 2 per cent a
year. What does such radical
change signify? We infer that a
policy of rigid economy has been in
augurated that, no doubt, in meas
ure, makes such an achievement pos
sible, brought about incidentally, per-
haps, through the initiative of Rob-
ert Holmes, F. P. Graves and other
stockholders whose receipts from
their holdings have not been as great,
probably, as they fancied they should
have been.
And the advance in the price of its
output, undoubtedly, is an important
factor in bringing about this unusual
condition. Let the causes be what
they may the results are certainly
calculated to infuse new life in the
holdings of the share owners and to
mean material progress for the COM
pany.
In view of these statements it is
very probable that the company's-
the share holders material welfare
may inure, in a reasonable measure
to the material welfare of the en-
ployes of the company, who indirect
ly, made the conditions of this pros.
perity feasible by their votes and
manual labor.

MISS ROACH WEEDS

Last Tuesday night Miss Mona

bridegroom, were bridesmaids ard
Miss Eugenia Roach, another sister,
played the wedding march. Harry

constructive powers, and what is bet.
ter, thoroughly conscientious and
trustworthy man. There is not q
voter in his district who can gainsay
this fact, and at home he is known
to be far the strongest Representa-.
tive the 18th district has had for
years.
Ellis aid will be needed in future
legislative work and the President re.
lies greatly upon the assistance Of
men of his character. This is evi.
denced by the fact of his having writ
ten several personal letters to his dis
trict in the last campaign urging Mr.
Hensley's return to Congress.
"The old, but true, saying OF
swapping horses in the middle of the
stream applies most appropriately in
this case. Being in touch with the
labors of his colleagues and thorough
ly familiar with the needs of his con-
stituents, he should be returned to go
forward with his work, especially
considering the crisis which will ex-
list for the American people so long
as the great conflict in Europe lasts"

President Wilson'S Mexican

President Wilson's Mexican policy
is expected to soon result in the re.
establishment of domestic peace in
that once Industrious little Republic
which has been so long rent with in
ternecine strife. Such an installation
of the blood of new peace would GER
tainly be most welcome condition
and a matter of much pride to the
population of that devastated and
long war-ridden country.
1t is estimated that it will require
several years to restore that country
to its former prosperous condition and
eliminate the effects of these years of
destruction. The name Of Wilson, the
Pacifcator, will certainly long be held
in grateful remembrance by the
peace-loving element of that little
torrid country.

Recognizes Ca Car MA

On October 10 the administration
formally announced Its purpose to
recognize Nictoriano Carranza as
president of Mexico. A great effort
is being made by the administration
to create the impression that ! the
reco Snition Of Carranza is the Pan
American play" but 1t is SO only in
so far as the Pan-Amerlcan diplo-
mats. having been called into con-
ference by Secretary Lansing, and
finding that such recognition was
President Wilson'S plan, have finally
acquiesced In 1t. It Is possible that.
in view Of the HOPELESS middle into
which President Wilson had, by his
unwarranted and meddlesome inter
ference. plunged the affairs Of Mexico
Carranza,s recognition was the least
Objectionable step that could be
taken, but that 1t viii have the eff
feet Of solving Mexico's difficulties or
will restore order is hardly hoped by
those familiar with the conditions
and acquainted with Carranza' g char
acter and record. Even this admins
tration Is skeptical regarding Car
ranza's ability to restore order, as is
shown by the formal warning imme-
diately sent to American consuls in
Villa territory to get Americans out
of the country as fast as possible.
The recognition Of Carranza is. OF
course, the occasion Of qualification

cht. it became necessary either to
Intervene by force or to recognize

dominated affairs. Carranza is at
least less cruel and profligate than

mating the "anti- dumping" clause from
the Underwood tafift law assumes the
proportions OF q colossal biundet.
That the enactment OF the Under
wood bill would render imperative At
least . small measure OF projection
TO American industries was conceded
by the ways and means COMMITTEES
when Il reported the tariff bill. TO
provide Il the committee recommended
an "anti-dumpings clause, declaring
In its report that It was to guard the
producers OF the United States against
the demora1izatton Of American mar
kets caused by low priced foreign Inn
portations.'
The clause provides In substance
that upon exported foreign articles
not on the free list also manufactured
n the United States. a special duty
Of not to exceed fifteen per cent should
be levied whenever the foreign price
was less than the fair market value at
home.
The House passed this provision.
The Republicans unsuccessfully tried
to amend 1t and then to man voted
for 1t. The Senate finance committee
struck, 1t from the bill and In. spite
of united Republican effort to amend
and restore It, the tariff bill:passed the
Senate without the anti-dumping
clause, eventually becoming law in
that form.
The anti dumping clause thus
thrown into the discard by the Demo-
Gratis was very evidently a necessity,
the demand for which was acutely
emphasized by the passage OF the law
from which It was finally eliminated.
