Believes In Fair Play

We see that the Sedalia Capital,
owned largely by Mr.. John e.
Swanger, Republican candidate for
Governor of Missouri, is very active in
its opposition to Mr.. Gardner, a
Democratic candidate. The Herald
Statesman has thus far made no
choice among the Democratic aspir-
ants for this nomination. But we
are inclined to view with suspicion
the effort of the Capital to belittle
the Gardner movement. Mr.. Swang-
er must regard Gardner as a strong
factor in the race and he evidently
wants to see some weak man get the
place at the head of the ticket. Quite
a natural desire on his part.-Col-
umbia Herald-Statesman, June Is.

JOHN BEAL,

Miss lola Beal, in company with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Beal,
left last Wednesday for Colorado
Springs, Colo, where Miss lola is
to become the bride of DR.. Fred.
Zaugg. We regret deeply the loss of
such faithful worker as Miss lola,
who will make her home in Colora-
do, where her prospective is estab-
lished as a dentist. DR.. zaugg is one
of our own boys. His sister, Miss
Hattie, is a member of our local
church. Our best wishes follow these
young people in their new home.

The unparalleled

The unparalleled promptness
shown by the National Guard in mo.
bilizing has silenced it's traducers.
The Guard is an efficient force and
has given proof of a large measure
of preparedness. The country has
been convinced that the Wilson adj
ministration has done more than
talk in high-sounding phrases; it has
acted effectively for preparedness.

sides again tomorrow.
At the conclusion of the days
conferences, the President issued the
following statement:
IL have met both sides and have
gone over the case with the utmost
frankness. | shall not be able to

have found feasible basis for set

to be resorted to, and what form of
arbitration shall be adopted. Rep
of the employees main
tain that their demand for an eight

ertime is the only concrete PROPOSE
ton under discussion. They insist
ed to the President in their confer

some definite counter proposal If
the railroads submitted some pro-

PURCHASE OF ALASKA
4 GOOD INVESTMENT

In 1867 We bought Alaska for
$7,2OO,O0O. This was one of the
most profitable investments ever
made by nation. Our annual div
idend is now more than 900 per
cent. and it is growing all the time.
We received from this largest OF
our Outlaying possessions in the lis
cal year that ended with June, $780,
100000 worth of copper, canned sal
mon valued at SIS, 100000, gold
worth $16,00O,O0O, and nearly ST.
100000 in silver. with furs and 9th
err products that raise the total to
about 100000. In this year gold
shows an increase of 100000,
and silver an addition of 200 per
cent. The receipts of copper have
risen to $26,5OO,OOO from only
100000 eleven years ago, and 81
100000 in 1919.
With these metals and the salmon
We acquired. for $7,200,000. an
enormous quantity of coal. worth
billions of dollars; deposits of tin
and petroleum.; a group of curious
names. such as Kuskokwin and Koy-
okuk; the highest mountain on the
and the memorable Bal
linger-Pinchot investigation, with
the scenery, characters, and other
material for several entertaining
novels. Our dividends are not fully
by the products which
now show yearly return of 800
per cent.
Great as they are, how much lar
ger they would be if We could now
import Alaska's temperature, or
of its extreme 40 de-
grees below zero, and distribute ii
where il Is needed.-tNew York

DESIRE A PRESIDENT
FOR AMERICANS NOW

Col. Roosevelt has given assur-
ances to correspondent OF a.
French newspaper. the Petit Pari-
sien, that Mr.. Hughes would be a
more satisfactory President for tho
allies than Mr.. Wilson.
The German-American Alliance
has given assurances to the German
voters that Mr.. Hughes would be a
more satisfactory President for Ger
many than Mr.. Wilson.
Somebody is evidently mistaken.
but one thing is sure. Whether Mr..
Hughes would be better President
for the allies or the Germans than
Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Wilson is a better
President for the American people.
Whenever the United States nm
dertakes to elect a President for the
allies or for Germany, Mr.. Hughes's
claims will be entitled to respectful
consideration. But in the year 1916
the American people are electing a
President for themselves.-[New
