John ]. Moore For Circuit Judge

In this weeks issue Of the Republi'
can appears the formal announcement
Of Judge John T. Moore, Of Ozark, as
a candidate for reelection to the place
he now holds.
Judge Moore is one Of the old line
Republicans Of this district and has
always stood for the best interest Of the
party at any and all times, but more
important than this, in connection
with his candidacy for this place is the
fact that he has always conducted his
court in fair, square manner, giving
justice, as nearly as human power can
give justice, TO each and every one
alike. He has been on the bench
now about twelve years, and very few
Of the decisions rendered by him in
the trial OF cases in his court have ever
been changed by the higher courts.
That is a big thing. 1t denotes fair
ness, and a knowledge Of the law, a
desire to do justice to all comers, and
an open mind that can decide case
on its merits, unbiased by the predjudi-
ces and feelings otthe man. A Judge on
the bench has to be somteing more than
a mere man. He must be able to see
through things in a clear manner or he
will surely go on the rocks in making
decisions in cases where oltentimes
large amounts Of money, property,
and sometimes human life are at stake.
Judge Moore has conducted the at-
fairs OF his Office in as satisfactory a
manner as il could be conducted by
anyone, and we have a feeling that the
voters Of the thirty-frst judicial circuit
are going to say on election day we
have a good man in that place and we
had better keep him there. That is
the wise thing to do. When you gel
good man in a place, man who
conducts the affairs Of his Office in a
business like manner and is honest,
capable and fair in his dealings will
his fellow men, keep him there.
We do not know Of any dissatisIac
ton in this part Of the circuit witt
Judge Moore's conduct Of his office
and we feel sure that he will receiv,
the nomination to which he aspires BY
a handsome vote at the August primary

Mr.. Wilson's Liars"

President Wilson says that he Sc
cured his information about Mexico
from lot OF liars.
As we recall it, he was told about
Mexico by John Lind, William Bayard
Hale, Duvall West and the late Paul
Fuller-all Of whom were sent down
there as personal representatives" Of
Of the President and all Of whom made
reports to him which the public has
not yet been privileged TO see.
Were all Of these men liars1 Or
will the president particularize and
name one or more Of the quartette ioI
membership in the Ananias Club which
he seems bent upon organizing2
Mr.. Fuller is dead and cannot de-
fend himself against the insinuation
which Mr.. Wilson's remark implies.
Lind, Hale and West are very much
alive and they probably are not too
proud to fight.

Our Own AutOCraCy

The further evidence Of prepos-
ferrous censorship over Mexican news
supplied by The Tribune's correspon-
dent, Mr.. Watson. emphasizes the FOLLY
as we'll as the improperly, Of official
suppression Of fact 10 this country.
The truth about Mexican conditions
will come out in spite Of the aaminis-
tration's desire 10 disbelieve it or sup
press it, These conditions are not
what the government would like them
10 be or would like the public to think
them to be. They are very bad, in
deed. Perhaps they are improving
rapidly. We hope so. But certainly
deceiving ourselves will not better
them.
The motive back Of the official cen
sorship Of news concerning Mexico
has been clear. The President did
not wish 10 deal with the public de-
mlnd for intervention which realiz-
alton oil the horrors Ct anarchy in Mex.
leo would have created. Doubtless
this autocratic conception Of his duty
is justified to his conscience on the
ground that Mexican conditions would
have been ,sensationalized by the yel-
low press and utilized by the property
interests seeking protection. II, how
ever, this is a justification for an Amer
ican president let US not pretend that
he is, in respect Of foreign relations at
least, any more responsible 10 the ma
ton than the German kaiser OF the
Russian car or the Japanese mikado.
As a matter Of fact, Mr.. Wilson has
given US as extreme a specimen o.
secret diplomacy and OF essential auto
cracy as can be exhibited by any gov
eminent ill Europe Chicago Tribune

European War a SCapegOat.

The European war makes conven'
lent scapegoat for the ineficiency Of
the Democratic administration. In
particular it is a handy alibi for depart
mental heads who have failed 10 make
good from business standpoint. As
another has said:
Postmaster General Burleson an
nouncing deficit Of sll,333,30S.97,
follows the example Of his chief and
the Democratic congress and charges
it up 10 the war. By the simple pro-
cess Of estimating thai the war has
cost the service S2l,000,000 Mr..
Burleson gives himself credit for a bal
ance OF ten millions.
The money isn't in Uncle Sans
strong box, but no matter. He can
have the satisfaction Of dreaming that
it woulp hrve been there il there had
been no fighting in Europe.
when there is considered Demo
cratic structures on Republican man
agement Cf the postal service, Mr..
Burleson presents a sorry figure. More
than any other responsible administra-
ton agent has he been given TO criti'
cism Of what he found in his depart
ment when he took charge Of it. Ever
since he has been in Office the service
has been under treatment for imaginary
ills. DR.. Burleson has reorganized and
retrenched and reformed it to the limit
He has reduced the force, shifted men
changed schedules, discontinued
routes and imposed impossible tasks.
And the net result is a woeiully defci.
ent service and a deficit Of Sll,353,-
3OS.97.
1t is customary for Democratic
officials to promise much, perform pro-
digiously and wind up with nothing 10
show for the noise and effort. Mr..
Burleson, however. has made new
record in this respect. Racine Journal.

Future Work For Mr.. Wilson

There are 408 more days Of Wood
row Wilson as..President.
We suggest that Mr.. Wilson, when
he leaves the White House, devote
his entire time to writing history.
The history Of the United States
during the years 1918 1914, 1915 and
1916, in 100 volumes, should furnish
an agreeable field for the exercise Of
his talents.
The claim to mortality Of the hero
Of this narrative would rest, We take it,
upon this proposition:
He found a country so sunken in
cowardice that it was resentiul Of the
murder oI its women and children.
He left people 10 proud to fight.
Mr.. Wilson should issue a volume a
year. A hundred years is none too
long a time to devote 20 the elabor.
alton Of this proposition. New York
Evening Sun.
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1916-02-10

The Gazette Times would be glad 10
have this done, and believes, with the
Republican party, that it ought to be
done. But what, meanwhile, has be-
bone Of President Wilson's airy re-
mark, when he was engaged in revising
the tariff downward, that it was up to
American manufacturers and their EN-
ploYes to match their wits against the
world and achieve industrial success
without the adventious aid Of protective
duties? Have American wits deterior-
ated since the,,iall Of 1918 or has the
President learned Of things in the
economy OF nations not dreamed Of in
his philosophy two years ago2
1t would be interesting to know also
whether this awakening at the White
House is due entirely to zn appreci'
alton OF industrial necessities or is to
be ascribed to keen perception Of
the political exigencies OF 1916. 1t
looks much like throwing tub to the
whale, and therefore presents an anus
ing spectacle, Republicans, happily
can vsew it with equsnimity. Every
little concession made to their prin-
ciples, whether as to economics or
otherwise, simply goes that far to illus
trate the ineptitude Of false position Of
the Democratic outfit now in control
Of national affairs. .-Pittsburg Gazette

We Americans seem 10 be in some
doubt as to what will happen after the
war;. British manufacturers are not.
They have bought twice as much raw
wool as last year. The quantity on
hand is far in excess of visible needs
aud greater than could possibly be
used in making war supplies. The
fact is that British factories know they
have free trade market awaiting them
in America. In seven months after
the Democratic wool tariff became
effective. America increased her pur-
chases Of woolen goods hearty $2l, 900
900, or nearly sS,OO0,OO0 month.
The British manufacturers feel tha,
they are safe in laying in a huge stock
Of raw wool, for they expect the Ameri

That Flood OF Cheap Products

AT President Wilson's direction"--
so runs Washington dispatch-'the
Department OF Commerce and the Fed
eral Trade Commission have begun au
investigation to find means 10 prevent
food oi cheap products from Europe
on the American market at the end Of
the war;" This is a gratifying pre-
caution, but in the light Of Mr.. Will
sons previous observations upon a
much-vexed subject it obtains some
elements Of surprise. Only last week
the President wrote gloatingly that
previous 70 the war there had not
been the influx Of foreign commodities
which was predicted by Republicans
as a result Of application Of Democra'
tic low tariff rates. Why, then, is il
assumed that there will be food aftei

Wilson administration-the tariff in
particular, while other Senators and
Congresmen have expressed, in no
Aattering terms, their criticisms oI
Wilson's foreign policy, his Mexican
policy, his preparedness policy, ETC.,
etc.
The fact is that Wilson no longer
controls Congress. Senators and Rep
resentatiyes on the Democratic side
are now playing, each Of them, his OWE
game-which is TO get reelected
if tpossible. ItWilson is re elected too,
so much 10 the good But no mem
Der Of Congress, Of any consequence
is subordnating- either his own opinions
or those Of his constituents 10 the pres
idential intellect in order to strengthen
the Presidents position before the vot-
ers. Whatever a Democrat at the
Capitol thinks will be helpful to his
own political prospects, that he does;
while the White House-is left to skin
its own skunks.
Taxation, preparedness and Mexico
are the chief vehicles for conveying
Congressional criticism to the execu'
tive; and it is probably the last topic
which gives the President his largest
concern. The recent msssacres o,
American mining men--men, who, BY
the way, were invited into Mexico BY
Gen, Obregon, Caranza's strongest
military leader--has inhamed public
opinion here to point where "watchiul
waiting" has become term Of lethal
loathing; and il the President does
not soon take action Congress will.
In this connection it must be noted
that the most embarrassing and irritat'
ing Of all the proposals thus far advan-
ced in Congress is that put forward by
Senator Jim Ham Lewis of Illinois.
Jimham has been one oil the fair haired
boys OF Congress during this admins
tration. At one time he thought he
ought to be Wilson's running mate in
the coming election; and, in his posi-
t;sn as majority whip" in the Senate,
he was looked upon as one Of the
most reliable and ready Of those tc
whom Tumulty has been wont to con-
vey the executives orders by telephone.
Now Lewis seems to be definitely
off the reservation. He has introduced
a resolution calling for intervention in
Mexico, where he wants our armed
forces to be employed TO the same
extent as now permitted in the navy
in Nicaragua and Hayti".
Whether the Senator'S reference tC
Nicaragua and Hayti was intended tc
be purposely irritating or not, may moi
be said. But the fact is that the Pres
ident acied in both those cases on
his own responsibility and the plain
implication is that the President acted
in both those cases on his own respon
sibility-and the plain implication il
that he could have taken action il
Mexico if he had really wanted tC
protect American interests there.
Just what he does want in Mexico
is the great enigma in Washington
just now.

Ordinarily by this time Congress
would have passed one or two appro'
pristion bills. In fact such is the
general record OF a session even prior
10 the Christmas recess. This year,
however, not a single bill has been
reported, to say nothing Of passed.
However, the session is likely to last
until the autumn leaves are falling and
there is ample time for the Democrats
tn make another new record for reck-
less expenditure Of the public money.
