$4,000; on the other hand they do
show that the county has collected:
In 1914 $2,047.50 more than in 1913l
In 1915 $1,37S.82 more than in 1914
In 1916 will collect $4,31755 more
than in 1915. ,
The fact is that the county has
gained in revenue $7,744.87 on this
one tract of land alone in the first
three years, instead of losing as stat1l
ed. =
We also found in the examination
of the Assessors books, that the to-
tai value of assessments in 1918 in
the Flat River school district was
81 1852, ,406. In 1916 the records show
that such value had been raised to
$2,264,594, an increase of $602, ,188!
This little item means a gain in taxes
that will be collected this year, over
1918, of $14,322.05. And yet not d
single penny of this increase will come
off of the farm lands in st. Francois
county. Is that not putting the "ax"
in the poor mans tax?
But another item we discovered
during our all too brief examination
of the Assessors books was that in
1918 the amount of school taxes in
Flat River was 500, ,784.42; this year
the amount of taxes in the same school
district, in which Bro. Cameron re1
sides, is $35, 5,106.47, an increase of
$14,322.05. How much of such ini
crease did you pay, Bro. Cameron? I
There are many other figures, of
similar Importance to those we have
here given, to be secured from the
Assessors books, but we have neither
time nor room for more just nowl
The above serves our present purr
pose, which is to show the length to-
which the opposition will go in at
tempts to build up a pyramid Of sup
posed facts, in which there is abso+
lutely no manner of truth existing.
Such miserable Misrepresentation
can do the accused person no harmy
so long as there is time remaining to
correct such abuse. But just what
can possess a human being, in re-
spectacle business, to thus misrepre-
sent public officer, who has made
reputation for efficiency and fair
dealing thssf sho'aa2 be the pride Of
every honest man, is mystery too
deep for The Times to solve.
If the editor of the Lead Belt News
cares anything about the facts, that
are of record, why does he not go to
such records and get such facts?
The natural inference is that it is
not facts that he wants.

INDIANA POLITICS AS SEEN
BY A FARMINGTON BOY
Valparaiso, Ind, Oct. l, 1916.

Valparaiso, Ind, Oct. l, 1916.
Editor Times:-
/ will give you the political situa-
ton of the students of Valparaiso
University and the natives of Indiana
as it appears to me from careful OBJ
servation, and conversation with
many of the students from all over
the United States.
Hughes spoke here for a few min
utes September 23rd and was heard
by large audience, but he was not
even treated with the proper respect
that was due man of his position.
Only few applauded when he con-
cluded his talk, but there was no
cheering neither when he pulled in,
pulled out, or when he finished talk
ing. This is the strongest Republi-
can district in the State of Indiana,
but the Democrats think they have a
chance to put few men over this
time. They have strong Democratic
club here and have opened up head
quarters in this town and are putting
a lot of pep" and also some money
into the campaign. Wilson will like
ly carry this State by fifty thousand,
and both Senator's and all of the Con-
gressmen, with two possible eXcep-
tions, will be Democrats.
The president and vice president Of
the University are both for Wilson,
and the student body is always a
shade Democratic. You see five Will
son buttons worn to one Hughes but
ton. Some Of the Wilson buttons are
worn by Wilson Republicans and Will
son Socialists.
AS near as | have been able to
Judge from the students here, I would
say that about two-thirds of the Pro-
gressives in the East have gone back
to the Republican party, but there are
quite a few of them for Wilson. In
the West, too, it appears that ma
iority of the Progressive vote will be
with the Democrats in November. |
have even been told that California
and Wisconsin will go for Wilson,
by men from those States.
| have talked with eleven New York
boys and they all say that Hughes
will not carry that State, and four
of them are Republicans.

CONGRESSMAN HENSLEY
DELIVERS GREAT SPEECH
A Crowded House Monday Night Re
suited in Most Enthusiastic Meeting
That Portends Democratic Victory

President Wilson's attack upon the
insidious lobby that hung around
Washington, and which during Tafts
administration controlled and direct
ed legislation for the interests, and
how, upon investigation, it was shown
that President Wilson's charge was
true. By means of his open assault
upon the lobby and the investigation
that followed, this army of undesira-
BILE citizens was driven out of the
capitol.
He then took up the great measures
passed by Congress such as the cur
rency laws, the antitrust laws, ship
ping laws, tariff laws, road laws, the
Federal farm loan law, child labor
law, the eight-hour law, and showed
how these several laws were so con-
structed as to work out the best in
terests of the great masses Of the
American people.
He followed this by taking up the
record of President Wilson in rela-
tion to the Worlds War and showed
how he had faithfully followed in
ternational law and was just and
equitable in his dealings with all the
belligerents; how by his firm but fair
presentation of the rights Of Ameri-
can citizens and commerce and all
neutrals, he won the acknowledgment
of Germany that he was right, and
thus maintained peace in our own
country. He painted graphic word
picture of the horrors Of war and con-
trasted it with the peace, plenty and
prosperity which we enjoy through
President Wilson's wise, firm and hui
name policy.
Taking up the Mexican situation,
he told how men of great wealth went
into Mexico and "for song" ac-
quired large and valuable conces-
sions, and then when trouble arose
down there among local factions and
civil war broke out, these wealthy
American concessionaires tried to
push President Wilson into war with
Mexico that they might profit there
by at the expense of the blood of our
American youth.
Throughout his speech was a force
full discussion of the dominating is
sues of the campaign-the splendid
record of President Wilson and a
constructive Democratic Congress
closing with an appeal to the citizen
ship of the country, irrespective of
party affiliation, to sustain the Pres
ident.
Walter was congratulated on all
hands, a regular Democratic love
feast followed the speaking, and en-
thusiasm was at high tide.

LEAD BELT ITEMS
HENRY HOWELL STRUCK BY
TRAIN, SEVERELY BRUISED
From The Times Correspondent.

Saturday evening as the 6:l0 pas
senger train ronuded the curve just
north of the depot it struck Henry
Howell, who was returning home
from work. The passenger was COM
ing south and freight train was. on
the siding and approaching on the
switch in an opposite direction to that
of the passenger train, and upon no.
ticing or hearing the freight approach,
Henry stepped to the main line, and
not perceiving the rapidly approach
ing southbound passenger, was struck
violently and hurled from the track,
sustaining severe bruises. He had
no warning of the approach of the
passenger train, so he asserts, in time
for him to avoid the injury, as the
curve at this particular place is very
sharp and the engine crew, he says,
failed to give the usual whistle and
bell warnings. The injuries, howev-
er, are not serious, and it is considered
quite miraculous that he should be
fortunate enough to escape with his
life in such an incident. The curve
lust north Of the M. r. & B. I. de-
pot is very abrupt but not so much so

the company cut down the abruptness
Of the curve at this place by excavat-
ing ten or fifteen feet west of the
track and laying a switch there upon
which was the freight previously
spoken Of Some years ago the vol
ume of business and the number Of
trains using the tracks were not near
so great as now, hence the chances
for accidents were much fewer. AT
this time when there is heavy ton
mage of freight, numerous trains,
both freight and passenged, and a
much denser population the opportun-
tiles for accidents are vastly increas-
ed.
Mr.. Howell is a native of Iron
county, of this State, being born and
raised there. He has many relatives
living in Iron county, who are pros
porous and influential citizens, and
who have learned with deep regret
of this unfortunate affair. Mr.. How
cl is single man. His friends are
elated over what seems to be a mi
raculous escape from being hurled

ralgia of the heart Mr.. Johnson had
been afflicted with neuralgia pains
and suffocating attacks of the heart
for some time but did not consider
his condition critical. He had un-
dergone a severe spell on the Friday
preceding but had recovered and was
feeling well and hearty when he went
to work Thursday morning. He had
been employed in the capacity of a
carpenter at the mill of the company
for a good while and was an adept at
his craft. After finishing his days
work he went with Eugene Burgess,
VIM. Olmstead and VIM. Randall to
the carperter shop to put their tools
away and just as he reached the shop
he was attacked with violent spell
that proved fatal before medical aid
could arrive. Drs. Cecil and VIII
liams were called Immediately but be-
fore they could get to the stricken
man he had passed away.
Mr.. Johnson is survived by fam
ily of two, a wife and one son, Jesse !;
two brothers, Alfred of this city, and
Oliver Of Esther; one sister, Mrs.
Howard Counts OF Flat River, and
a host of friends who deeply mourn
his untimely death. He was born and
reared in Ste. Genevieve county, of
this State. He had resided here in
this county for several years, work
ing for the Lead Belt mining com
panies, and by his firm character and
manly ways had acquired the friend
ship Of all with whom he had occa-
sion to come in contact.
He was a member of the l. 0. O..
F. Lodge, under whose auspices the
funeral was held Sunday. The fun
eral sermon was preached at the. Bap-
tist church by Rev, Carmichael. The
body was laid at rest in the Pleasant
Hill cemetery in Ste. Genevieye coun-
ty near his old home.

WELLS HAS PUT THE AK"
IN THEPOOR MANS TAX"
Notwithstanding the Pernicious Part
isanship of Few to Discredit His
Splendid Accomplishments

As an illustration of the unfair
methods that the opposition seems al
ways willing to adopt, in the, hope of
obtaining an unfair advantage of
political opponents, we herewith re-
produce a scurrilous squib which ap-
peared in the Lead Belt News last
week:
We notice that Assessor
Lawrence Wells advertises that
he put the "ax" in the poor mans
tax. In 1916 the county will lose
in revenue 81 1,295.75 by reason of
the fact that last eyar Mr.. Wells
Topped $4,000 off that part of the
Federal Lead Company's prop
erty known as the old Central, or
Survey No. 1912. Is the Federal
Lead Company included in Mr..
Wells list of poor men?
Since reading the above paragraph
the writer has taken it upon himself
to examine the books in Assessor
Wells office, and, among other figures
that might prove to be interesting to
those seeking such information, we
have found the following to which the
above squib might have reference:
For the year of 1918 (Mr. Thorn
sens last assessment) the Butcher &
Bloom survey o. 3272, referred to in
in the Lead Belt News squib, was
assessed for 100000, on which they
paid tax to the amount of S13.405.00.
For the year of 1914 wells first
assessment) there was collected in
tax on the same tract $15,452.50
against S13,40500 for the previous
year, which shows a net gain in taxes
collected for the year of 1914 over
1918 of $2,04750.
For the year of 1915 the same tract
of land referred to was assessed for
$650,000. The amount the County
Clerk extended his tax on and the
Collector collected was $16,832.32-a
net gain in revenue Of $1,S79.S2 over
1914.
The year 1916, the year that the
Lead Belt News referred 10, Wells
looping off the said $4,000, shows the
valuation of this tract of land to be
$500 900 -s150,000 more in valuation
th1ri irfaS15, on which the County
Clerk extended the taxes and now is
in the hands of the Collector, show
ing that the county is to collect $21,-
1887 for the year 1916, which is $4,-
317.55 more to be collected than in the
year of 1915,
The records absolutely fail to show
where the county is going to lose ST.

In response to announcement that
Congressman Walter L. Hensley
would speak in Pennington Monday
night on the issues of the present cam
paign, a great crowd filled the Cir
cult Court room to overflowing before
the meeting was called to order. Eek
ira benches and chairs filled every
available foot of floor space in the
large room, and standing room was
soon at a premium. The audience
numbered 500 or more.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the meeting was that hardly
person left the room throughout the
speaking, which lasted two hours
and thirty minutes. Covers Boy
Band furnished excellent entertain
,ment while the crowd was assembling,
after which they departed to make
room for grown-ups.
Jerry B. Burks made the introduc-
tory speech, and he was so full of his
subject it was difficult for him to reach
a stopping point, owing to the many
great and important questions that
are pressing for settlement in this
campaign. He passed briefly from
one engrossing question to another,
skimming over the surface, but car
rying his hearers with him in intense
interest.
He had thought that President Will
son should have no opposition for re-
election, that it should be made unan-
imous, but such was not to be, the Re-
publicans were now more nefarious-
ly active, it seemed, than ever before,
urging every possible specious ar
raignment in vain effort to discredit
and defeat for a second term one of
the greatest Presidents that has ever
occupied the Chief Executives chair.
The applause and cheering with
which Mr.. Hensley was received on
rising to speak was loud and pro-
longed, indicating that his record in
Congress has brought him very close
to the hearts of his constituency.
Such a splendid demonstration from
his home town, he said, was most
gratifying, and he appreciated it more
than his lips could express. But he
assured his auditors that, so long as
he served them, in Congress or else
where, his very best efforts would
always be at their command.
Mr.. Hensley was in good voice and,
. inspired by the enthusiastic recep-
tion of his home people, he soon had
the audience en- rapport. He traced
the political history of the nation dur
ing the nearly four years of the pres
ent administration, beginning with

An Innovation

In this issue of The Times will be
found an important announcement
from the Klein Grocer Co., headed
"An Important Change of Interest to
You" 1t outlines a change in theit
present method of delivery, so as to
systematic that important and ar
duous work, in the hope that deliv-
cries may be made in more correct
and satisfactory manner than is pos-
sible under the slip-shod method now
in use.
1t is the paramount desire Of this
enterprising firm to serve its custo-
mers in the very best possible NAM
ner, and with this end in view, Henry
Manley, the popular and efficient man
ager of that firm, is always wide
awake and ready to adopt any plan
or system that promises additional
convenience to customers. Commence
ing next Monday, the firm will put
on four regular daily deliveries of
goods, at the hours stated in the an
nouncement On Saturdays, owing to
heavier purchases and the anticipat-
ed need for such an arrangement, an
additional later delivery leaving the
store at $50 p. M, will be made.
1t is the hope of this firm, as it
will be of its patrons, that this inno@
walton in Pennington will better serve
the buying public, not only in get
ting goods more promptly, but also
in knowing just when to expect de-
ilveries. While this system is as yet
metropolitan, there is no good rea-
son, so the enterprising management
of this firm believes, why the people
of Pennington should not enjoy its
greater conVenience.

Unavoidable Delay

Owing TO a breakdown in the mo-
tor of the linotype machine, The
Times is unavoidably a few hours
late this week Such delay caused
us to miss getting the papers out
this morning on the rural routes,
which is the first time such omission
has occurred since the present man
agement has been in charge.
1t is only through the kindness of
Harry Denman, editor of The News,
that we are able to get the paper ou,
today. He very kindly extended to
us the use of his linotype, for which
we are under obligations. We will
very gladly reciprocate such kindness
il ever our competitor finds himself
in similar difficulty, which we hope
he never will,
A new motor has been ordered,
and should be here by tomorrow,
when it will be Immediately installed,
after which our troubles will be dis
sipated in that direction, we believe,
as the new motor should be a good
one. We hope our readers will bear
with us in the delay in getting their
papers to them on time this week,
this being our first such delinquency.
You can also rest assured that th,se
few hours delay has caused us genu-
inc suffering,
