The editor of the DeSoto Times is
somewhat peeved over a mention that
appeared in The Times two weeks ago,
regarding the talk made in this city
by John E. Swanger, Republican can
didate for Governor, whom that paper
appears to be perfectly willing to fall
down and worship. Just what it is all
about we are still unable to decide,
even after having read his structures.
We treated Mr.. Swanger in a cour-
teous manner, just as we only know
how to treat our fellow-man; and we
gave his talk the notice it deserved.
as we were able to judge. II was GER
tainly one of the most commonplace
and ordinary efforts at speech-making
on the part Of a gubernatorial cam
date we have ever heard, even
though we lived for a number Of years
in a State "where reformed bank rob
bers and hold-up men are sometimes
quite strong contenders for guberna-
torial honors." That was our misfor-
tune. We have "beaten back" But
why contradict yourself, brother, by
saying in your closing paragraph that

tor for his views as a Democrat" af-

ling very near your own head, But
we are now trying to think well Of all
men, hence dismiss such . thought us

soUDAN GRASS

j J.. Swink brought to The Times
Office Wednesday morning a bunch Of
Soudan grass, which is something of
8 novelty here in the way Of hay. The
grass grows very tell, the bunch now
on exhibition OF this Office being 6
feet and inches in length, the av-
erage height of the grass when it was
cut. It is said that live stock Of all
kinds show a preference for it over
clover, timothy or alfalfa. Il has a
sweeter taste that appears to appeal
to stock. Mr.. Swink tells us that he
has fed it to stock mixed with clover
and timothy, and that the stock would
pick it out until it was about all gone
before commencing on the other feed.
The Soudan is an African grass and
thriyes better in dry than wet weather,
and makes a good crop in dry seasons
where oats and timothy fail, or even
alfalfa is effected, though, as the
bunch in our Office shows, it does fine
in such season as we have had this
year. IN view of this fact, IL might
be well for farmers and especially
stock raisers to have good setting Of
it each year. Here it produces two
crops or two cuttings season. and
Mr.. Swink tells US that in Texas three
and four cuttings may be made during
the year.

PRIMARY AND DUTY OF VOTERS

Next Tuesday, August list, will
close the campaign for party nominal
tions. Much has been said and pub
lished about the aspirants for the va
rious State Offices, especially that OF
Governor, and the voters have prob
ably in a general way made up their
minds as to their favorites. The re-
sponsibility Of nominating tickets rests
with the people, and this responsible
ity can only be properly discharged
by the voters going to the polls next
Tuesday and voting for the men they
believe viii make up the best ticket
for their respective parties. il is a
duty that American citizenship i'm
poses upon every voter and one that no
voter should neglect. 1t is just as
important to vote TO make the ticket
as it is to vote for the ticket Of his
party at the general election, for up
on the first rests the character Of the
ticket that his party presents to the
people for their approval.
We would especially impress upon
all Democrats the duty of fulfilling
this important obligation Of citizen
ship next Tuesday. It should be the
desire and aim Of every Democrat in
the county to get out full vote, which
means full expression. of the party's
will and choice, and then they can
work with a will and enthusiasm for
the ticket which they helped to make.
Democrats have every reason to be
satisfied with the splendid admins
tration which President Wilson and
Democratic Congress have given the
country, and they cannot show their
appreciation of this fact in a better
way than to make a good showing Of
their party at the nominating pri-
mary next Tuesday. To stay away
from the polls and refrain from vot-
ing would be an expression of disin-
terested lassitude, which we are sure
no Democrat can feel with such a rec
ord as his party has made the past
four years.
We would like to see every Demo
cratic vote in st. Francois county poll
ed next Tuesday.

ADAMS FOR SHERIFF

All men desire to see the best man
nominated for Office. There are three
qualifications necessary and by which
most thinking Democrats measure a
candidate, namely: First, is he COM
petent; second, is he an honest, and
third, is he a true Democrat? If a
man fails to meet any one of these re-
quirements he should not be favored
with a party nomination.
Charles Adams, Democratic candi-
date for Sheriff, possesses all three of
the above mentioned requirements in
the highest degree. Adams has
served as City Marshal of Farming
ton and everyone knows he is always
on the job and that there must be or
der in town. He has also served as
Deputy Sheriff under Jeff d. Highley
and under ]. C. Williams until a year
ago, when he resigned. Every man
who has had any litigation in our Cir
cult Court, or who has ever served on
the juries knows that Adams is always
on the job when needed. He is ac-
knowledged to be the best process
server in this county. Therefore, when
we consider that the county is EMIT
led to and needs the best services to
be had, Adams is the man to nominate.
As to the second requirement no
one ever questioned the honesty and
integrity Of Charles Adams. If nom
mated and elected there will never be
any illegal fees charged by his Office.
When he makes out q fee bill you will
always find it according TO law And
when he tells you anything his word
is his bond.
And as to the third requirement.,
Adams is a true Democrat. He has a.
ways supported the Democratic nom
inees and conducts a clean campaign
No higher type Of a Democrat can be
found.
Adams should be nominated because
he is the best qualified man, because
he is honest, because no is and always
has been a good and clean Democrat,
and because if nominated he will
strengthen the Democratic ticket.
II we nominate Adams he win bel
cur next Sheriff.

He served three terms in the legis-

s9eaker in 1907. Under his leader
ship and with his active support much
good legislation was enacted, includ-
ing the adjustment Of race track

court, pure food and drug act, pri-
mary election law, fellow servant law
for mine workers, laws providing for

THIS IS IMPORTANT

No more important duty, perhaps,
rests upon the Democrats of each mu-
nicipal township of this county, than
the selection Of the best men from
each for County Central Committee
man. We mentioned this fact cou-
pie of weeks ago, and now call atten-
ton to il again because the primary
election comes eff next Tuesday and
the committeeman must be elected at
that time-voted for just as candidates
are voted for for the various offices to
be filled.
Every township has a number Of
good Democrats, men who are popu-
lar with their friends and are good
neighbors--the very best kind Of cit
liens; but not all, perhaps not many,
of them would make a good party
committeeman because they are not
active workers in political matters,
Let the Democrats Of each township
get together and agree upon some
Democrat whom they know to be an
active and intelligent party worker.
Much depends upon the sort Of COM
mitteeman each township elects, for
the county committee has to do not
only with the conduct Of the local
campaign, but enters into all the
ramifcations of district and State
party organization If possible it
should be composed of men Of politi-
cal knowledge and good executive abil-
ity who are willing to make some sac
rifce of time and business to work
for their party up to the close Of the
general election in November.
Note, if you please, the important
part that the county committee has to
do with the party organization and
its effectiveness throughout the whole
State. In the first place the commit
tcemen elected in each township com
pose the county committee. They
elect the chairman. In this no mis-
take should be made. The chairman
should be chosen for his efficiency, his

ATKINSON MAKES
GOOD SPEECH


Hon. John M. Atkinson, one of the
seven candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, was in
Pennington yesterday and delivered a
speech in the afternoon to good
crowd on the public square. There is
strong Atkinson Club in Farming
ton, and members Of the Club escort
ed him about town, introducing him
to our people and making things
pleasant for him. Mr.. Atkinson is a
Southeast Missouri man, but he is
Wal known all over the State and his
supporters are not confined to any one
section. From the incipiency of the
campaign he has been regarded as
one Of the strong men in the race, and
the supporters of other aspirants have
freely given him second place over
their favorites. The race was vari-
ously thought to be between Gardner
and Atkinson, or Roach and Atkinson,
but always Atkinson was in the rcck-
oning. His friends think he is a sure
winner.
He made a good speech, presenting
reasons why the Democrats should
nominate him in a strong and con-
vincing way, and created a favorable
impression among all who heard him.
The fact that he is q Southeast Mis-
souri, man and that he has made good
in every public position he has held,
gives him a strong hold on our peo-
pie, especially those who think it
would give Southeast Missouri more
prestige TO have Governor hail from
this section.

al committees, composed of these coun-
ty chairmen, shall each meet on the
third Tuesday of August and elect
two qualified electors of the congress
sional districts as State Committee
men.
Thus il is seen that much depends
upon the kind of men elected as town
ship committeeman and the men they
elect as chairmen Of their respective
county committees; also, how impor-
tant it is that men well equipped for
party work be selected by each
township at next Tuesdays primary
men who will attend all committee
meetings and do whatever lies in their
power TO bring party success at the
November election.

Strong Candidate

Mr.. Robb while in Congress, was
faithful servant of the farming, the
laboring and the producing classes,
and that is why they are now so
strongly soliciting him to again be-
come a candidate. His labor record is
good one and should get him many
organized labor votes in this district.
He was a member Of the Immigration
Committee, which reported the bill
for the relief of the laboring classes
through the exclusion of foreign con-
tract laborers and undesirable immi-
the miners and fought for their just
rgants. Every day in the year he is
with the producer Of the wealth of
our nation and the enemy of the trust
gamblers. He has always stood with
share of the production. The Demo-
Gratis have never had a Representa-
tive in Congress who stood closer to
Democratic principles and served his
people with more fidelity or made a

CAMPAIGN AGAINST

Farm Adviser Bert l.. France, in
company with Prof. Thos. J. Talbert.
Of the State Agricultural College,
closed a comprehensive campaign Of
st. Francois county, against the Hes

for the past ten days been holding
three meetings each day, in different
parts Of the county, and most of their
meetings have been fairly well attend

been nearly so large as they should
have been, when The splendid informa-
ton that these gentlemen are capa-
ble of giving to the farmers OH the
eradication Of this pest is considered.
This arch enemy Of the farmer has
practically ruined the wheat crop in
this county for the present year, and
Prof. Talbert has an absolute proven

tive insect, while, at the same time,
the cure means better crops for the
farmer, leaving the Hessian fly out

It is to be hoped however, that
enough progressive farmers have at
tended these meetings that, through
the knowledge they have there Sc

ground for the planting Of wheat, and
induce their neighbors to follow their
example. Prof. Talbert is an expert

What's this? "When Wilson be-

buy it for almost ten cents pound"

Why, we have always been under the
impression that the Republicans claim
ed that . high protection tariff kept
up prices by shutting out foreign com
petition, and here our Republican con-
temporary is telling us that a low tar
if has raised the price Of sugar to tea
cents a pound. AS it also blames the
