Judge Lamm for Governor

The Republicans have nominated an
outstanding candidate icr governor,
Judge Henry Larnm, man of immense
physical, intellectual and moral stature.
Perhaps never within the recollection
Of living men have indeper dent Demo
Gratis taken a more sympathetic interest
in the candidacy Of a Missouri Repub'
lican. In every town the lawyers
we're for Lamm," came The reports.
These lawyers knew MIN better than
most other folks, for they had read his
decisions with admiration and delight.
They knew his scorn of sham. They
knew his ability 10 see the heart Of
things, his cont, mpt cf technlcalities
that stood in the way Of substan ial
justice, his courage, his patriotism aud
his haired cf wrong and oppression
The lawyers Of every state had been al.
tracted by the picturesque language
Of his decisions, his Keen wit, his bub'
bling humor and MS sJtiricaI treatment
Of sophistries that might have befud'

knew that Lamm wontd restore The
governorship to high prestige. Iney
knew that he had studied the consd

A Reed Revolt

The man who ran against Senator
Reed fr the Democratic Senatorial
nomination had scarcely been heard Of
outside Of his own county and did not
make any campaign. In spite Of this
he got thousands of votes. He even
picked up s,mething like four thou
sand in Reeds own county, Jackson.
A still more striking fact is that, in
every county in the state, Democrats
scratched of Of the primary ballot all
reference TO the Sanatorship. All this
sign'f a protest against Reed that
means the loss Of thousands OF Demo
cratic Votes to the Democratic Senator
candidate. The pa ty revolt against
him, based on many causes rather than
one, amounts almost to a far reaching
bolt.

Ne is a Young Old Man

How agreeably surprised were the
people when they saw Judge Lamm.
Instead Of bent. gray'haired, infrm
old man, walking with a cane, they
saw standing before them husky six
tooter, straight as an arrow, with broad,
powerful shoulders. He walked with
the springy step Of youth and on the
platform he spoke with the vigor and
enthusiasm Of a man oi 40. There
are few wrinkles in his slightly forid
face, and his reddish hair and mustache
are only partly gray.

there were some misgivings as TO the

His timid friends trembled when he

The patent medicines manufactured
in this country are valued at more than
S14,00O,0 900 annually, and we import
almost S5O0,O0O,0OO worth Of drugs
and medicines a year. Itis impossible
that this much medicine is needed in
the country. A large amount IS taken
without the advice Of physician, and
without any clear diagnosis having
been made as 10 illness. 1t stands to
reason that any drug that is strong
enough to produce marked effects OF a
curative nature, must produce bad
effects on the body when taken in
large doses or over a long period Of
time.
This dependence on drugs is iTratlon-
al. Drugs are powerful, and should be
taken only on the advice Of those who
have made a study OF their actions and
uses. Under such conditions a much
smaller quantity OF drugs would be
taken because all physicians realize
that drugs cannot cure most diseases,
however useful they may be in alleviat'
ing symptoms and assisting nature tc
to the desired end.
Especially to be avoided are those
medicines containing alcohol, opium
or other habit forming drugs. We art
using less OF these than we we're few
years ago, but we are still using mort
than we should.

for the treatment oil live stock mus

Not Decisive Move.
Grants victory cut off the southern
states west of the river from the bulk
of the Confederacy. A successful al
lied campaign will separate Turkey
from the central states and, incidental
ly. crush Bulgaria. Vicksburg did not
end the civil war. it played only a
comparatively minor part in subse-
1uent events, but it was an essential
step. In opening the great river to
the north and closing it to the south
il rendered very great service. But if
this may be compared to ghe conse-
quences of opening the straits to the
Russian and allied fleets it will be
seen that the Balkan campaign is ac-
,ually more important than that along
the Mississippi
We see with absolute clarity that
the first objective of the allies is to cut
the Vienna -Constantinople railroad and
isolate the Turk. We perceive with
similar clarity that this is but the
and the Bosporus. When this Is done
all the problems of Russian munition-
ment will disappear and both Russia
ana RumanIa will Immediately profit
by obtaining the allied markets for
neir wheat. oil and other products.
Not until this is accomplished will
Russia be actually delivered from the
situation into which the Turks en-
trance into the war placed her.

Gave Munitions to Turkey.

Now, the allies have tried and failed.
both by fleet and army. to force the
Da rdauelles. Their failure was not abb
solute until the Germans, forcing their
way through Serbia, reached Stamboul
and were thus able to open route for
German munitions between Essen and
the Sea of Marmora. Until that mo-
ment mere lack of ammunition had
several times placed the Turk in dead
ly peril But II the road is closed again
the peril in some measure will be re-
newed. And when this happens the
new attack will not be aimed prima-
rily at Gallipoli, but at Chata1ja, at the
base of the peninsula on which Con-
stantineple stands. along the front
where the BuIgarians We're checked in
1913 through the lack of heavy artil-
lery, and because of the support the
Turks derived from their warships
In a word, the purpose Of the allies
IS to cut the Vienna a-Constantinople
railroad first, thus isolating Turkey,
then to attack Constantinople and CAL
Iipoli from the land, not the water side,

Iery and munitions, to force the event

succeed and advised the German en-
peror to abandon the Balkan campaign
and shorten his lines east and west to
meet the growing dangers incident to
such a wide extension OF front. For
this, we are asked to believe that Fall
kenhayn was removed. This last is
pretty farfetched. the failure OF YER
dun is enough to warrant the removal
Of the chief of staff. who was respon-
sible for it But there Is interesting
material In the rumor itself. 1t serves
to indicate how the Bulgarian problem
weighs upon the German mind.
Bulgars Heavily Outnumbered.
With two thrusts directed at the
, vital railroad. what numbers have the
Bulgarians and their allies available to
meet them? The Bulgarians themselves
cannot have above 100000. and this is 9
| high figure, regard being had for their
enormous losses in the two previous
Balkan wars and their considerable
losses in the contests of the present
war But the combined allied army,
extending from the Adriatic to the
Aegean, from Valona to Saloniki, is
hardly less than 100000 strong. OBJ
viously, the Bulgar army would not be
able to do more than attend to this
| department of the total task of the GEN.
| trail powers in the Balkans.
| Actually there are number of Ger
man and Austrian regiments in the
| Macedonian line, and it is fair to esti-
mate that they number 100000. thus
| leaving 100000 Bulgars for service in
I the north. Until recently this northern
! army was supported by many Turkish
! divisions, quartered along the Black sea
/ and held against the chance that Russia
would attempt to invade Bulgaria from
! the sea. But most of these have been
! drawn off to help the Austrians, and we
hear reports of their presence about
Halicz and north along the Zlota Lipa.
! AS the Russians and Rumanians will
probably be able to put from 100000 to
500 900 troops on the Dobrudja front. It
| is clear that there must be very large
contribution made by the Germans and
! the Austrians. AT the very least four or
| five corps must be sent to support the
troops Of the Gar Ferdinand, unless
there is another Turkish army avail
able. But we know that the Turks have
been using very considerable numbers
. in the severe fighting both in Armenia
and in Mesopotamia, and we know that
their losses have been great, their de-
feats heavy and that Russian advance
in this quarter still holds the Turks to
