REPUBLICANS Of
MISSOURI SURE
: Of BIG VICTORY
Chiefs Say Governor Majors
Defense Campaign Makes
Triumph a "CinCh."

KANSAS CITY, MO-, Oct. lI.-Gov-
crnor Major. in the opinion OF Repub-
lican leaders here. has put the finish
ing touches TO the Democratic hope of
carrying Missouri for the state ticket
this fall, and the Democrats can see
no hope for Wilson at all.
The Democrats admit that their
hopes were slim before Major took the
stump TO defend his administration.
The sIimness of their hopes was
based on the reunion of Progressives
and Republicans. the big German vote
in Missouri, and the submission OF
constitutional amendment for state
wide prohibition. The two latter fac
tors work together.
Republicans Are Happy.
Outside OF the prohibition amend
ment the Republicans never were so
confident of carrying Missouri. The
presence of a prohibition amendment
on the ballot made them certain. Now
Governor Major has made 1t what they
call "lead-pipe cinch.'
Governor Majors propensity for fox
trotting hurt him as much as his adj
ministration did, and both hurt the
Democratic party tremendously.
The Democratic state platform ig-
uorcd his administration entirely and
every speaker on the stump has ig-
nored Il. They have been greatly en-
barassed at questions hurled at them,
especially so since conditions in the
state penitentiary became known, be-
cause of a series of destructive fires
which have caused heavy loss and
revealed that the prison was in an al
most continuous state Of mutiny over
food, punishment and slave driving
by labor contractors.
Major Insists on Defense.
The Democratic speakers have tried
to ignore these and other conditions
under the Major administration. and
have tried strenuously to keep Major
out of the campaign. But Major has
demanded that he be defended, and IL
nobody else defends him he purposes
to defend himself.
He declared that he proposed 10
keep on fox trottlng and he declares
that the Missouri penitentiary lis the
equal of any similar institution in the
land"
The result Is that the Democratic
campaign is tagging. and Republicans
are predicting a bigger majority for
Hughes than Roosevelt got when he
carried Missouri. and the election os
the entire state Republican ticket.

SEE VICTORY
IN MARYLAND
Confident of HugheS'S Success,

France United States senator and three
of the six congressman. Maryland in
the last three presidential elections
has been n close state.
This year the Progressives, with the
exception Of a few hundred, are for
Hughes. Former Attorney General
Charles ], Bonaparte. their leader, has
set the example by corning out for
Hughes and the Progressive state COM
mittee has Endorsed the Republican
presidential ticket.
The vote of the few dissatisfied Pro-
grcssives will be more than offset by
the old Cleveland Democrats, a number
Of whom are against Wilson. Then the
Democratic state and city leaders are
lying down and taking little or no in
tcrcst in the campaign.
Leaders Work against DryS.
Many Of these Democratic leaders
are devoting their time and political
influence TO prevent Baltimore from
going dry" rs the question OF license
or no license will be voted upon at tho
national election. The liquor cam
paign is Of more interest TO these
politicians than the election of a pres
ident.
The loss OF the saloon support, and
especially the big campaign fund con-
iributed by the liquor dealers and
saloonkeepers TO the Democratic ma
chine at every state and city election,
would be n sledgehammer blow TO IL.

GREAT BRITAIN PAYS THE PRICE.

Great Britain is fighting for peace at
any price. In doing this she is paying
price for restoration of peace unpar-
alleled and even unapproached in the
history of war. In the voting of an
additional credit of $2,100,000 900
which Premier Asquith assured mem
bers would only serve to carry on the
war until the end of May, it is possible
to see the hard set of the bulldog 5
jaws on the proposition that, when the
price of peace is war, the price must
be paid. The price Great Britain is
paying, or, rather, the price she must
continue paying long after the war
ends, almost staggers BELIEF.
The total of credits voted since the
war began, including the $780, 600, 900
last voted, is $l0,41O,0 600 600. Before
the war began, the total wealth of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland was estimated at SS0,0O0,000,-
900. The war debt, as far as now con-
tracted, is more than II IL per cent of
the total wealth of the nation But the
new war debt falls far short of repre-
senting all Of the nationa1 debt of
Great Britain. Before the war that
debt was, approximately, $500, 0O0,-
600. That debt had been funded at
low interest rates, from 2 to 1-2 per
cent. But the new loans have been and
can be floated only at much higher
rates. The one being foated in this
country is at 5 per cent. Phe interest
and sinking fund charges the country
must carry for a generation or more
win be the most grievous tax burden
ever borne by nation.
Before the beginning of the war the
United Kingdom was administered at
an annual expenditure of $917 ,92Yvvu.
As government was being run before
The war, expenditure was keeping pace
with revenue. In 1928 expenditure
did not fall 100000 below revenue.
One obvious duty in such an emergency
will be drastic surgical economy Elk
ereseences and parasites must be cut
off and out of the body polite. Sine
cures must be abolished and perqui-
sites wiped out. Even then, taxes must
be greatly increased, and if, as is like
ly, they are made to fall mainly OH the
rich, they may lead to the breaking up
Of great landed estates. The war itself
still seems undecisive of anything. But
at the end we may see that it was de

THE " OSE

The nose is an architectural triumph
which distinguishes man from the tur-
nip. 1t is sad to contemplate that if
1t were not for the presence of an alert
and aggressive nose man would long
ago have been classed in the vegetable
kingdom, but this is a scientific fact
The nose is attached in conspicu-
Gus position on the human countenance,
where it can reach out and contract a
cold in the head on a moments no.
tice. Painters and sculptors have i'm
mortaliZed the nose with brush and
chisel, but not while it was nursing a
damp, dubious cold in the head IF
the nose had been set flush with the
rest of the face, so that every passing
cold could not secure a foothold upon
1t, there would be more happiness and
fewer handkerchiefs in circulation,
and fewer people would be obliged to
take their noses to southern California
and battle them in the mellow, high
priced sunshine of the tourist district.
There are several kinds of nose,
chief among which is the Roman va
riety. This is the thin, elegant pattern
made famous by Julius Caesar, who
wore it until his death just above his
upper lip. When Caesar fell at the
base of Pompey S Pillar his nose was

not injured, and a photograph was
taken of it so that people who admire
that kind of nose could have some
thing to copy after. The Roman nose
is affected to quite an extent by the
stage villain, who breathes through it
in stentorian tones.
The pug nose is one of woman s
charms which it is not safe to comment
upon. 1t is usually caused by some
setback in childhood, like being mad
vertently stepped upon by the nurse,
giving it shy, retiring appearance.
While it is not criminal offence to
own pug nose, no husband with any
sense of propriety will poke fun at the
upturned nose of his wife, and few of
them do so without requiring surgical
aid soon afterward.
While the nose seems to be firmly
attached to its surroundings. there
have been instances where it has wan
dered from home and pried into other
people S affairs. The nose was not in
tended for this purpose, as it is de-
signed solely for breathing, smelling
and snoring accomplishments If more
noses were kept at home and allowed
TO do the work for which nature in
tended them, there would be less new
mown gossip scattered around the -four
corners every twentyfour hours.

Into the German plans apparently
there has entered the calculation that
a great drive at Nerdun would not
cost more than several months of indie

could be made effective. 1t is a uues-
