You Can't Fool correII.

The Democratic meeting held in
Sedalia the other day was another
evidence of the good spirit of the
party in this state. The young
Democrats Of the state are up and do
ing things and no one will question
the result in November. Hundreds of
supporters of Col. f. d. Gardner Of st.
Louis were in attendance at this meet
ing boosting the candidacy of this
popular young Democrat who is gain
ing strength by leaps and bounds all
over the state. The democracy of
Missouri need such men as Col Gard
ner upon the ticket this fall, which
only insures big Democratic land
slide in Missouri. In all sections Of
the state come good reports OF the
Gardner candidacy and it looks like
that he will be nominated and eleci
by the largest majority ever given
a democratic candidate. Missouri and
Missourians are demanding such men
as Gardner to give us the right kint
of successful business administra

Win With Wilson

The Democratic slogan of four
years ago "Win with Wilson" is GO
ing to be overwhelmingly repeated in
1916. The Democratic nominees are
not only receiving loyal and enthu-
siastic. support of the united and tri-
umphant Democratic party, but the
Independent voter" which is very
decisive factor in presidential cam
paign, is ''in the Democratic camp"
horse, wagon and dragoon.
The great administration Of Presi-
dent Wilson in solving the most mo-
mentous problems ever submitted to
any President since Lincoln, has made
deep and favorable impression on
the country, and it is nothing less than
absurd to talk Of defeating him with
man like Charles E. Hughes or any
other man, who is nothing more than
blank, even if he is admittedly a
clean and upright blank.
The fact of it is the country never
fails to re-elect the President who
carries it safely through a great cri-
sis, and as President Wilson recently
said the whole world "is on fire., and
our own roof is not fire. proof; never
theless he has steered the ship of state
safely through the rocks, and it is
now enjoying, as the benefit of his
wise and statesman-like course, peace.
plenty and prosperity. Furthermore,
it can always be set down as an alb
solute certainty, that the country will
not "vote against prosperity" which
would be the effect of voting against
President Wilson. The election of the
Republican candidate, would mean the
| turning Of the country over again to
the Republican bosses and grafters,
as it was under President Taft; for
the old crowd that ran things under
Taft, from Frank Hitchcock down,
are getting ready to run them under
Charles f. Hughes if the country
should be so thoughtless and so un-
wise as to elect that distinguished
"sphinx" to rule the country.

NEW DESIGNS ON THREE COINS

Washington, D. c., July 1.-The
new designs of quarters, dimes and
half-dollars made their appearance in
Washington today. This is the first
time since 1891 that any of these
coins have been changed.
On the face Of the new half dollar
is a full-length Liberty, with an
American flag background. Liber-
ty stands facing the dawn of new
day, carries laurel and oak branches
symbolic Of civic and military glory
The reverse side shows an eagle
perched on a mountain crag with
wings unfolded. From a rift in the
rock grows a sapling of mountain
pine, symbolic of America.
On the new 25-cent piece is Liber-
ty, full length, stepping toward the
country's gateway, bearing upraised
shield, the right hand carrying an
olive branch of peace. Above the
head is the word Liberty, and be-
low the date, 1916"
The reverse side bears an eagle in
flight, wings extended, and the in
scription, Omitted States of America
and "E Pluribus Unum." The phrase
'In God We Trust" is on both coins.
On the dime is Liberty, with a
winged cap; on the diverse side and
on the reverse, design of bundle of
rods and battle ak, symbolic of un-
ity.

Alien Conspiracy
Against President

The mos important plank in the
Democratic platform--the most inn
portant plank in any Platforms
that in which the Democratic National
Convention denounced the alien con-
spiracy against the peace and welfare
and security Of the United States.
The Republican platform lodged
this issue. The Republican convention
lodged it. The Republican candidate
for President has lodged it. The
Democratic party under the leadership
of President Wilson has met it and
met it without finehinE.
This issue is fundamental. Undi-
vided allegiance is at the beginning of
government No nation can survive
that is half-loyal and half-alien in its
sentiments. No country can main
tain free institutions if the balance of
political power is in the hands of men
whose hearts and sympathies arc for
eign.
Until we have disposed of that ques-
tion, all other question are Of minor
consequence.
Professional German-American lead
ers have long been in a conspiracy
against the administration of the gov
ernment of the United States because
of the foreign policies Of the Presi-
dent. Their sole grievance against
Wilson is that he has maintained
American rights contrary to the mill
tary aims and objects of the German
empire. They indict him for his re-
fusal to sacrifice the law of nations
and the sovereignty of the United
States to further the military neces-
sity of Germany.
In revenge for the Presidents pro-
American foreign policies, the lead
ers of an alien conspiracy have de-
creed his political destruction. 1t is
their boast that they control the Ger
man vote and that the German vote
will decide the election. They have
rallied to the support of Mr.. Hughes,
not necessarily because they love Mr..
Hughes, but because he is the one in
strument that they can employ to pun-
ish the President and give notice to
the world that no American adminis-
tration can survive unless it is sub
servient to their influence.
This issue was not made by Mr..
Wilson. 1t was not invited by him.
1t was made by the German propa-
gandists who set out to wreck his
administration. Before all other is
sues of the campaign, let US have a
referendum on the question of whether
the government of the United States
is hereafter to be subjected to black
mail and whether President of the
United States can be driven out of
Office because his foreign policies are
not made in Europe. Until that is set
tied nothing is settled.-Post-Dis-
pach.

Ernest A. Green, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Attorney
General, was in Harrington Monday
Mr.. Green is a Southeast Missouri
man and ought to have the hearty sup
port of this section-not simply for
that reason, but because he measures
up to the mark in legal ability. He
was twice elected Prosecuting Attor-
ney Of Butler county, voluntarily re-
tiring from hat position to take up
the private practice Of law, when Gov
Major, then Attorney General, ap-
pointed him as assistant in his office,
and after that he was appointed to
the same position under Attorney Cen
eral Barker, which he resigned in 1914
to again engage in private practice.
So it will be seen that he is well
equipped for the duties of Attorney
General. He has been an active Dem
ocrat, and was a delegate from the
Fourteenth District to the Baltimore
convention in 1912.

TWO BOYS DROwN-ONE IN
HEROIC ACT TO SAVE OTHER

Wednesday afternoon Willie Knopp,
agen 16, and a boy named Robertson,
aged about IL, were drowned in the
drainage ditch north of town. They
were in swimming, the Robertson boy
could not swim and slipped off of
the bank into about ten feet of water,
Knopp jumped in to save him, as an
eye witness stated, and the Robertson
boy grabbed him in such way as to
prevent him from using his arms, and
both sank.
The alarm was given and a crowd
went to the ditch and the dragging Of
the ditch commenced. The body OF
the Robertson boy was recovered by
Mr.. Goldsmith about $3.50, but the
body of Knopp was found Thursday
morning.-Illmo Jimplicute.

/ A.-When the bank shall have
loaned out $500,000 (half the million
borrowed from the state) and has on
hand 100000 in notes secured by
deeds of trust, 1t shall have power to
Issue debenture bonds-bonds backed
by farm lands which can't burn or
blow away, and appraised at half their
cash value. Also, they would be Sc
cured by the funds of the bank. These
bonds should sell at a premium.
Q.-Why should they sell at pre-.
MUM?
A.-Because they would be secured
(1) by the working capital of the
bank (2) first mortgages including
homestead at fifty per cent in value
go rapid accumulation of a reserve,
and (4) the credit would be extended
for productive purposes only, hence
making its own security and liquidat-
ing itself.
Q.-Could there be further issues
of bonds to raise more .capital?
Ayes, bonds may be issued on
notes and deeds Of trust to the amount
OF forty million dollars ($40, 0,000, ,000)
on the original $1,0O0,00O working
capital.
AS GOOD AS GOLD.
! Q.--Would it be difficult to dispose
of the bonds?
A.-No, because they would be as
good as government bonds and easily
convertible into cash. 1t would be
lawful for any savings bank or trust
company receiving savings to invest
in the bonds, which would be exempt
from all taxation.
Q.-Would the original $1,0O0,00O
working capital be refunded to the
state?
A.-Yes, whenever the reserve fund
reaches an amount sufficiently large
that its return would not hurt the
banks business. ~
Q.-And where would the banks
reserve come from?
A.-From the one-half of one per
cent paid by the farmer borrowers
and included in the four and three
tenths per cent interest. This covers
the first $500,00O of loans.
Q.-Could the interest rate be
raised?
Alt might be reduced. Under
the law it could not be increased to
more than six per cent including com
mission for reserve fund
Off the banks profits justified,
could the borrowers get any rebate?
Ayes, to those whose loans have
run at least ten years the bank would
be authorized to refund the collections
for the reserve fund.
Q.-What is the total of loans now
outstanding on Missouri farm lands
where the farmers under the old sys
tenn are paying six, seven and eight
per cent and often exhorbitant com
missions? Al
Alt is one hundred and thirteen
million dollars (S113,OO0. .OO0).
Q.-Under the new Gardner Land
Bank Bill how much more capital
should the sale of the debenture bonds
bring into the state?
A.--At least hundred million dol
lars ($1OO.OO0.000 to be loaned to the
agricultural classes at low rates OF
interest for the development of Mis-
souri, farms and to aid the toilers who
now are LAND POOR

LAND OFFICE NEWS

In the case of Morace Koon versus
George A. Graham, Of Rigby, charg-
ing non residence, and non-produc-
ton on the entry land, the local
land office decided in favor OF the
defendant, after careful investiga-
tion. which disclosed that the allega-
tions of the contestant were unproV-
en-. Phil Averitt, of Rexburg, was
attorney for the plaintiff, and j. II.
Anderson for the defendant.
Another of the numerous hyde
Benson cases was decided at the To-
cal office this week. Several years
ago certain Frank A. Hyde, OF Oak
land, California, obtained scrip to
thousands of acres of land in Idaho,
which he sold right and left. The
Wood Live Stock company and the
collins company of this state were
purchasers of large amounts Of this
bogus scrip, which the government
attacked on the ground that Hyde
had secured it fraudupently. Hyde
served about 16 months in the At
lanta Ca, penitentiary, but those
who bought the rights to land from
him have contested with the govern
ment for possession of the same, and
it was question as to whether third
parties should be held responsible
for buying unauthentic scrip. The
case this week involving scrip held
by the Wood Live Stock company,
was decided at the local land office
against the government, as it was
not proved that Hyde had obtained
that particular piece of scrip by
fraud.
