Jonh T. Wayland

Some of the Democratic papers in
the Southwestern counties are urg-
ing a third term for State Auditor
John P. Gordon on the ground that he
has made most satisfactory official,
as though the Democratic patry could
not provide another equally efficient.
Such an assumption is ridiculous, OF
course, for there are many such in
the States. Mr.. Gordon, with the
close of his present term, will have
held the office of Auditor for eight
years, long enough to satisfy most
people, quite long enough for any par
ty to keep one man in office. John
T. Wayland, who is asking the nomi-
nation for Auditor at the hands of the
Democratic party which he has so
long and faithfully served, is in every
way as well qualified as the present
incumbent, is as deserving a Demo-
crat, and has never held State Of
flee. Would it not be unfair to turn
Mr.. Wayland down to extend the pres
ent incumbent's tenure of office to II
years? We hold that two terms is
ample for any official, and to grant
more is to estop other and equally
worthy members of the party from
achieving a laudable ambition to
serve the people. Furthermore if
Mr.. Wayland is given the nomination,
as we hope he will be, he will not en-
barrass or hamper the success of the
rest Of the ticket by having to de-
fend himself against charges reflect
ing upon him as an official, regardless
of whether such charges are founded
on fact. There should be no weak
points in the ticket this year, and we
are confident that the nomination of
John 7. Wayland for State Auditor
would materially add to the strength
of the Democratic State ticket this
fall.-From the Glasgow Missourian,
March 20, 1916.

THE SHIPPING BILL TO PASS

The determination of the Demo-
Gratis of the Senate to pass the admin
istration shipping bill this season is
meeting with overwhelming popular
approval. This bill will at once Gre
ate a great Merchant Marine for car
rying American goods to all parts Of
the world and thereby greatly pro-
mote our foreign trade. Heretofore
the expectation of American goods
has been almost entirely dependent
upon the great merchant marines of
Great Britain and Germany and of
course those two great commercial
countries always give the products Of
their own countries the benefit Of their
best service, SO American trade has
been at great disadvantage for lack
of a merchant marine. This bill pro-
vides for the creation of company
with S50,000,000 capital to be furnish
ed partly by the government, and part
ly by private capitalists, but these
ships are to be auxiliaries Of the navy
but in times of peace they are to be
used for merchant shipping. The bill
is heartily supported by both houses
of Congress, except those Senators
and Representatives who are tools Of
the shipping trust. The Democratic
leaders have decreed that this bill
must become law before Congress
adiourns, as the growing industries Of
the country demands.

To the Voters of Missouri.
We desire to address you about a
matter of the greatest Importance to
you, for we assume that you are anx-
ious to elect the very best men avail
able Judges of your Supreme Court.
Read this little message, and inform
yourself about a good man who as
pires to be Judge of the Supreme
Court in Division No. Two.
Judge Glendy B. Arnold of our city,
who is one of the candidates for the
Democratic nomination for Judge Of
the Supreme Court, in Division Num-
Der Two, is Al years old and is in Wig
orous health and physical strength.
He is one of our Circuit Judges and
has been an active member of the bar
for over Is years. While a practlc--
ing lawyer he made speciality of trial
work; he served with ability as as
sistant Circuit Attorney in charge of
the prosecution of felony cases, and
has appeared in many cases before the
Supreme Court and the Court of APP
peals, as the reports of those courts
will fully attest. Judge Arnold has
the confidence Of the people, the bench
and bar of this city. By experience
we think he is eminently fitted for the
duties of Supreme Judge; he is ma
turally a hard worker, an excellent
lawyer and his wonderful physical en-
ergy will enable him to dispose of q
large number of cases coming before
the Supreme Court. We believe he
will do great work in aiding the
Court to catch up with its docket
with which it is now nearly three years
| behind.
Since the sixth day Of last Septem
Der Judge Arnold has sat practically
every day in one Of the equity divi
sions Of our Court and has decided
nearly 600 cases during that time; h
has written numerous opinions in ad
EDITION to supervising and preparing tn,
DEGREES in the many equity cases de
cided by his division of the Court.
In his race two years ago for tn
office Of Judge of our Circuit Court
he received the highest vote OF an
1 Democrat in the primaries. And i
the general election led his party tick
ct by an average of 6,327 votes. A
4 the general election he received 81,
1893 votes. We believe we can truth
fully say that in that race he had tn
support Of substantially all the mem
; bers Of the local branch and bar, a
! we'll as Of the local Democratic an
independent press.

made in automobiles, and party Of
local men will accompany the guber-
material candidate, who will see to it
that the voters are on hand to meet
Secretary Roach.

Home Endorsement

The Democrats of Monroe county,
among whom he lives and has lived
for 20 years, are deeply interested in
the nomination Of Hon. Frank W. Nc
Allister, of Paris, for Attorney Gene
raj on the Democratic ticket.
They are for him because -
i. We know him to be honest,
clean and in all respects worthy.
2. We know him to be lawyer Of
splendid qualifications, sound judg-
ment and practical common sense.
8. We know him to be loyal,
fighting Democrat.
4. He is tried public servant who
has made good.
S. He was defeated fer the nomi-
nation four years ago by only 1425
votes, out of more than 100000 cast,
and, being worthy, is entitled to the
nomination this time.
6. He is the only candidate for this
office from the country, both Of his
opponents being from the city Of st.
Louis, and under an unbroken line Of
Democratic presidents, this nomina-
tion should go to a country lawyer,
7. He holds no Office, elective or
appointive, enjoys no patronage, has
no entangling alliances, belongs to no
party factions and his name would
add strength to the ticket in all sec
tions Of the State.
We appeal to the Democrats Of he
State to join us in his support. Vote
for him and ask your Democratic
neighbors to do the same.

drill, removing enough hoes that the
beans would not be disturbed. The
beans sown at the same time with
sorghum will come up first, but in a
very little while the sorghum will out
grow the beans and very largely
smother them out, For this reason,
good idea, where possible, is to give
the beans few days start.
When pasture is an object, Dwarf
Essex Rape is a good crop. Five to
ten pounds Of seed per acre should be
sown. This is good feed for hogs
and good for cattleaah sheep, if care
in pasturing is used.
Buckwheat is easily grown. is fine
to smother out weeds, and the grain
commonly brings a good price. Buck
wheat is the shortest season grain
crop, does best on light, well drained
soil, lodges badly on rich land, kills
at the first frost, and does pretty well
on thin land About one bushel per
acre with grain drill is town.

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN
FALLS FLAT

Since those few effervescent bub-
bles which followed the Republican
nomination have disappeared the
country has almost forgotten who the
Republicans and Bull Moose nominat-
ed for President. Every day brings
added proof that the country is more
than satisfied with the great safe and
sane statesman in the White House,
and that it intends to engage his serv-
ices for four more years.
There was very significant devel-
opment at the Republican convention,
which good many have overlooked.
When the Republicans have hopes OF
winning victory, there is not only a
scramble for the temporary chairman
ship of the convention, but scramble
for the permanent Craftsmanship, too.
These two offices are high honors and
the incumbents are the two keynoters
of the convention. This year, how
ever, the Republicans did not have
enough issues for one keynoter much
less for two, and so instead Of elect
ing temporary and permanent
chairman, thus honoring two OF its
big leaders, they made poor old Sen
at ate Harding Of Ohio fill both bills,
as there was no scramble for the
chairmanships this year, for the
scramblers do not like the idea Of
trying to make funeral sermon
sound like battle cry, and SO they
allowed the double honor to devolve
on Senator Harding, who was both
temporary and permanent chairman,
and some of the reports said he fell
/ fiat and others said he blew up, which
is saying the same thing in different
way.

st. Louis, Mo, April 20, 1915.
Mr.. Henry T. Burekhartt Fayette, Mo.
My dear Mr.. Burckhartt: Ihave seen
your letter to Col Gardner, in which
you say that some reports have
reached you suggesting that he was
aligned in his sympathies with the
brewery and anti-temperance forces
of the state, and in fairness to him /
beg to make this statement for your
information and satisfaction.
Col Gardner is member of my
ehurch--the Grace Methodist church.
I took him into the church 20 years
ago, and therefore have known him
that long. / have known him inti-
mately-his life, his habits, his char
acter. He has been for Is years an
official member Of the church, on a
board that is made up of some Of the
strongest and finest men of this city,
and nobody among US stands higher
than he.
OF course he stands for the highest
moral principles. This goes without
saying, for he is not simply nominal
member of the church, but faithful,
active and consistent member. AS
his pastor, having known him SO inti-
mately for these years and having
been in the closest church and per
sonal relations, want to assure you
and your friends that any reports
that he is with the breweries, and
that he would not stand for the best
things In civic and public life, and
would not enforce temperance legisla-
ton, including the Sunday closing
law, are untrue and absolutely unfair
to him.
In support of my own estimate OF
Col. Gardner, as his pastor and friend,
have asked some of the other minis
tiers of the city of other churches,
who are known throughout the state,
and who know him well, to sign this
letter with me. to make it plain to
you that my estimate Of him is not
prejudiced one, due to my personal
interest and relations.
Yours very truly,
WIN. WRIT KING.
We take great pleasure, from long
and intimate personal acquaintance
with Col. Gardner, in heartily sub
scribing to and indorsing. the above
statements concerning him by his
pastor, DR.. King.

MOTOR OIL
AND THE EXPOSITION

One thing the exposition has done
for California petroleum, it is said,
has been the correction of the mis-
taken theory that good motor oil
couldn't be made from asphalt-base
crude
A representative of one of the big
California refiners says that ever
since the awards of the exposition
juries have been given wide publicity,
motorists and dealers who couldn't
see anything but eastern oil, are com
ing around to using and advocating
oil made from California petroleum.
"Paraffine base oil was the first
motor oil developed" says this re-
flnery representative, "and even after
western oil had been developed and
proved, the old tradition concerning
paraffine base oil still chung, encour-
aged no doubt by the refners of these
oils"
And, by the way, not only the ex.
position juries. but gas engine autho
rites are now endorsing asphalt-base
motor oils" FiTlnEW

GEyGHELI, Serbia, Jan. IL, - one
of the most picturesque figures OF the
European war is the Serbian "komi-
tail" or guerilla Ivan Stoikovitch,
known to fame as "Babounsky." The
name is drawn from the famous Ba-
bouna Pass, where recently the Serbs
so long held the invading Bulgarians

that part of Serbia and is therefore
known to his followers and to the
Serbian population at large by nick.

A slight man, tall, with honest gray
blue eyes and the pale features of a
student, he impresses the stranger
with anything but the terror which
his name inspires. Nor do his looks
belle his real profession For the re-
doubtable "Babounsky" was a school
teacher until fired by an ardent pa
triotism he gave UP his classes to
gather about him a band Of intrepid
spirits in the fight for the release OF
the Turkish part of Serbia from the
Ottoman yoke.
Ever since the first Balkan war he
and his followers have been under
