must be OF lscaa character.
From the fact that such control
is widespread and constantly
gaining ground, it cannot be ar
gued from the recent defeats ut
the question in its broader appli-
cation through state wide re
straint that there has been .
change of public sentiment more
favorable to the traffic. People
WHO win vote against state or ma
tion- wide prohibition will in many
instances support local option for
the reason that they are regulat
ing the liquor traffic only as it
applies to their own communl-
ties. AS We are now about to
deal with this question in our
county, let it be determined as a
local consideration, q ground Oh
which the community is safe in
dealing with it.

A County Road Day.

The citizens of MISSISSIPPI
County fixed Nny. 10 as the coun
ty good roads day, and every in
habitant of the county was at
work on the road from Wyatt to
Charleston. Every inhabitant of
the district, including many
women was on the job, and in
cluding the grading and widen
ing of the roads, there was more
work done, according to reports
than in the two days set apart
for road work by the Governor
last June.
This leads the St. Louis Times
to offer a suggestion that, in ad-
dition to the two days set apart
by the Governor for road work,
which it is to be hoped will be-
come q permanent fixture in fu-
ture state administrations, the
respective counties of the state
set apart e special day as county
day for road work. 1t frequent
ly happens that the day set apart
by the Governor finds the farm
ers and residents Of. certain
counties so engaged that tits i'm
possible for them 10 do their full
share of work on those days.
Those who can and are willing
usually lend assistance on the
days set apart by the Governor,
but it must be bornein mind that
the same dates and days do not
suit the farmers of all counties
The county day for road work te
be fixed by the County Road
Commissioner, will be one tina,
suits the farmers of the county
and as was instanced in Missis
sippi County, Wednesday, more
work will be done in one day
than in the two days set apart by
the Governor, especially wher
the days so set apart cannot be
conveniently set aside for thai
purpose by the farmerr.
Missouri is far behind in the
road work done in the last ter
years, and q way must be found
to awaken the interest Of the peo
pie of the State. A county day
set apart for the work will be
move in the right direction. AT
ter the farmers and landowner
become interested in the roads

been awakened, it will be . much

The Picnic Of the Plu.es.

Whatever else this great wa,
may or may not be, it is certain
~ "one great picnic" fer a small
bunch of American plutes.
Whatever else may or may no,
result from the war, it is certain
to give this couatry new crop
of millionaires. with d very large
increase in the fortunes of some
Of those We already have. This
will result in the further concen-
tration OF the common wealth in
the hands of the few, and it will
mostly be the common wealth oi
this country, for while the mon
ey that is flowing in from the
other side will be a great sum,
and a very large part of it viii
stick in the hands of a few men,
never let anyone tell you that
most of these MilliOns Fill not
be extracted from the American
people. In fact, it is being ex-
tracted now by a fever of stock
speculation. On the strength OF
L few ~ar esasTcctts, the stocks
of certain companies have been
boosted hundreds Of millions. \
few war orders hawked from
one company to another. is suis-
cient to set the spec ulaiive ther-
mometer bubbiing. Some COM
panies that are paying no divi-
dends, like the Bethlehem Steel
Co., have had the price Of their
stock increased tsn times. The
stocks of some companies have
skallyhooted from three to six
hundred per cent. Starting
around 46, Bethlehem steel was
but recently quoted at AGO, whicl
is some rise," if an instance be
wanted. AS far as can be seen.
there is su all substance on
which TO base such Wild specula-
tion. All the profits ON war Or
ders that have so far come in will
scarcely equal the speculative
rise in the stocks of corporations
doing business with the belliger-
ents.
The truth of the situation is
that the big gamblers and the in
siders, have taken the advantage
of the excitement caused by fu
mors of enormous war orders
to take in the fool public, with
the intent of well humping its
wooden head, i is possible,
however, that even the greed of
the manipulators did not plumb
the credulity OF the public. 1t
is indeed possible that some OF
the insiders may have pnlaaded,
and finding the credulity of the
suckers apparently without linn
it, may have bought in again.
What will finally happen when
stocks reach what is believed to
be the highest point, is that the
insiders. who have manipulated
this affair from the beginning,
will unload. Then watch the
slump. The suckers will be left
to hold the bag. which is to say
the stocks, which will be worth
then one fifth, one tenth or one
twentieth what they paid fol
them. Every discriminating
person knows that this is what
will happen. because the prices
| of dozens of stocks in which
there is at this time speculation
are fictitious prices. The suck
| ers have been warned and are
certainly informed as to real con
ditions. But bless you, that viii
make no difference whatever
Over and over Wall Street works
this sane old game, without .
variation, and the army of suck
eEs never grow lexs.-The st
