Attacks on Gordon Will Fail
Utterly.

1t seems that the Republican
machine is sending out some
canned articles on State Auditor
John P. Gordon, and they are
being published in a few of the
rabid Republican county papers.
The more of this kind of unjust
campaign that may be made
against a faithful State official
the more votes he will get from
honest, fairminded men. Prob
ably no one in Missouri who ever
held public Office has been more
bitterly fought and as often
slandered as John P. Gordon has
been by some of the Republican
politicians, but did not take with
the people, it seems. In the re-
cent primary he carried more
counties than were ever carried
by any candidate running for
one of the State Executive Of
fees. After the vote was Off
cially counted it was found that
Mr.. Gordon had carried sc
counties; had beaten both his
opponents by several thousand
votes; got nearly $4,000 more
than his nearest opponent anC
70, 1000 more than his second op.
ponent. He carried all five Of
the large cities; carried every
county north of the Missouri
river except three, and lost thos,
three by very small margins
, carried all the counties south o
the river except fifteen, ant
lost several of those by less thar
a dozen votes. This speak

URGES A FESTIVALS
FOR MISSOURI TOWNS
Merchants and Newspapers
Should Cooperate, Says
Advertising Expert.

Merchants in Missouri towns
and cities should cooperate with
the newspapers Of their COM
munities in an annual fall fes-
tival week for the development
of new trade, says J. B. Powell,
instructor of advertising in the
School of Journalism of the Uni
versity of Missouri at Columbia.
The plan is modelled after one
employed by the large cities of
the state, the Fashion Show in
Kansas City and the Yelled
Prophet Festival in st. Louis
being examples, could be carried
on in the same way on a smaller
scale in small towns with large
returns financially. Many of
the medium sized cities of the
state have already adopted the
plan and it has been successful,
according to Mr.. Powell. The
merchants make special displays
of new stocks of goods; the
movement is fostered by the
local commercial or trade organ
izations, and the homecoming
element can be featured. The
railroad refund plan, whereby a
visitor buys a certain amount of
goods in the town and gets his
railroad fare refunded, has also
been used with success.
To the town it mean perman-
ent results in the unifying of
business interests, fostering of
civic pride in entertaining visi-
tors, and advertising. Much of
the business that usually is sent
out Of town to the large cities is
therefore saved for the local
merchant. Mr.. Powell incldes
the newspapers in the plan be-
cause he says that no business
plan involving all the interest Of
a community can be successful
without the cooperation of the
newspapers.

WARNING TO VOTERS.

1t will be necessary that the voter exercise
large degree Of cautious intelligence when he
enters the booth to mark his ballot on the COM
ing election day. Any unnecessary mark
thereon will invalidate the ballot and as a con-
sequence vote will be lost. The greatest con-
fusion in the mind of the voter will arise when
he attempts to indicate which ticket he favors
as between the republican and democrat ma
tional candidates. It should be remembered
that neither Hughes nor Wilson is to be voted
for directly but that the electors are the ones
to receive the designation. Although the
names Of the republican and democrat national
candidates head the presidential column, make
no cross mark opposite their names.

tiffc basis on which all Christian
healing is demonstrated, the divine
Principle whose unlimited power Is
utilized in the overcoming OF sin ana
sickness.
This then is one OF the initial and
essential steps in the Science OF
Christian healing-the recognition OF
the unhealthy OF all that which is un-
like God, that it has but a seeming
and not an actual existence.
The order Of scientific Christian
healing therefore is expressed first:
in the knowing of perfect God ana
perfect man, followed by the recog.
milton OF the erroneous nature OF
disease, sin and all that is unlike
God; then in the application OF ap-
solute truth to the elimination OF
error, so that right, harmonious con-
ditions may be established.
The love and gratitude which
Christian Scientists feel toward MIS-.
Eddy is not to be wondered at when
one takes into account the great gooo
which has come into their lives as
the result OF her teachings.
The whole world is indebted to her
for her Scientific and spiritual In
terpretation of the Bible. especially
the words and works OF the Master
and for her demonstration of the
truth Of His teachings In the lace
of the so-called higher criticism AND
the doubt respecting the correctness
of much Scripture teaching and the
possibility Of obeying Christ Jesus
commands, Mrs Eddy's proof that
the Bible is true stands out as the
greatest, most significant achieve
ment of this age, for hereby the
truth of Christianity and the right
ness of it's basis is scientifically es-
tablished.
Mrs. Eddy early learned that the
Bible is the word Of God, the spirit
ual teacher of the ages. She turned
to it for light and leading when hu-
man ways and means failed to give
health and hope. In its inspired
pages she found Christian Science.
the spiritual fulfilment OF Jesus
teachings and practice and she thus
rediscovered the Science OF Chris
tianity.
To Christian Scientists Mrs. Eddy
is living example OF the triumph OF
faith in God, faith deep and vital
because rooted in spiritual expert
ence. She knew God Alright. She
looked to divine intelligence and
proved CQat LOO Ii Miuu. DIG "e"'

CLAIMING EVERYTHING.

One of the fundamental principles of old time
political strategy was to issue eXtravagant
claims Committees, candidates and speakers
were all directed to predict impossibly big ma
jorites. The political novice seeing the close
ness of a doubtful election, might be inclined
to talk frankly to reporters and audiences. But
the old line political manager claims fifty
thousand ma ority when in his heart he wishes
he were confident of five thousand.
This of course is a part of the effort to cap
ture the floating element, the wabbly voters
who are trying to find out which side will win
But the most unsophisticated Of this class
should by this time be able to size up the
claims of political managers.
The people who sit in the back of
political headquarters must know how things
are going. They are in touch with local chair
men all over the state or nation These local
chairmen have agents in every district talking
with voters and canvassing among the
placed These men are skilled in estimating
political currents. They all make pretty
shrewd guess as to how things are going in
their districts.
When all these reports tabulated at
headquarters, the drift Of sentiment should be
apparent But the secret information is not
made the basis for public estimates by the side
that is falling behind. j..
The trol$ole about the old time method of
claiming everything is that the voters have
long memories. They may be cheered and en-
couraged this year. But at another election
they will remember that the manager who
claimed seventy-fve thousand majority was
beaten by one handred thousand.
These are times when people value frank
