THE SITUATION.

As the campaign progresses
President Wilson's prospects for
reelection continue to grow
brighter and brighter and candi-
date Hughes continues not to add
to his own popularity. True, Col.
Roosevelt has jumped into the
campaign and is pursuing his GUS
tomary tactics of talking much
and saying nothing worth while.
But the Colonel has about worn
the novelty off of his particular
brand of asinine beefing and the
public has become rather disgust
ed with his shallow abuse. The
Colonel has proven a disappoint-.
ment to the Republican leaders
in this campaign. He was expect
ed to get out and entice the Bull
Moose back into the G. o. p. cor
ral,. but the Moose are a little
wary of the Colonel. Having once
been victims of q pot shot by
Teddy which almost wiped the
herd out Of its official existence,
they are listening to his "eall"
with suspicion and are not coming

WHERE 1T HITS BATES COUNTY,

Mr.. Taxpayer, if you had a
hired hand and you paid him for
his work. and after he finished the
job. he handed you back more
money than you paid him, you'd
think him a pretty good hand,
wouldn t you?
The Democratic State Admins
tration is your hired hand. Bates
county paid to the State Treas
ury last year the sum Of $780,
495. 40, and got back in cold cash
from the State Treasurer the sum
of 30.S2127. That means that
Bates county took out $4,325.87
more than she paid in. 1t means
that the Democratic party is max
ing up to you, Mr.. Bates County
Taxpayer, a present of 81 ,325.87
per year. And that is what
Judge Lamm calls "a riot of
Democratic Extravaganza
Well. Bates County isn't very
for Judge I4amm, anyway.
He received but 214 votes in Bates
county in the primary election and
His vote slfouitt be Tess than that
on November 18th.

The Republican meeting held in

The Republican meeting held in
the court rooms Monday evening
for the purpose of corralling the
negro vote of Bates county fell
flat when Nelson Crews, the Kan
sas City negro imported as the
principal speaker Of the evening
assuming that the negroes Of this
city were nincompoops and tried
to pull the wool over their eyes.
Mr.. Nelson tried to stir up
sectional feeling by stating that
the south was in complete control
of the government and told his
listeners that every member of
Mr.. Wilson's cabinet and all the
chairmen of the principal commit
tees are from south of the Mason
and Dixon line. Every intelligent
negro voter in Butler well knows
that this is not true-that of the
ton members of President Will
son s cabinet, six of them, the
Secretary Of State, the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Secretary of
War, the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, the Secretary of Commerce
and the Secretary of Labor are all
from Northern States and the
chairman Of the most important
congressional committees are from
north of the Mason and Dixon
line.
The colored people of Butler
are just as intelligent and just as
well educated as those of Kansas
City or any other town and it is
an insult to their intelligence for
the Republican campaign commit
tee to send speaker here to try
to deceive them.

What would you have done,
Mr.. Hughes9 Would you have
averted the railroad strike as Mr..
Wilson and Congress did? Do
you favor the eight-hour law?''
These questions we're fired at Mr.
Hughes while he was in St. Louis,
but like many other "What would
you have done, Mr.. Hughes''
they remain unan-

Democratic Publicity Bureau.

Meetings being held through
out the state by Democrats, are
attended by record breaking and
enthusiastic crowds, while the
Republican meetings show a lack
of fighting spirit and the old time
enthusiasm. Democrats are unit
ed in Missouri this year, deter
mined to win, while Republicans
are divided, factionalis,n every,
where apparent, and their most
optimistic followers feel there is
but little hope Of success. We
never gave the voters a stronger
ticket or better platform. We
have only to stand and fight to-
gether Let every man do his
duty this year, and our majority
will not be less than forty thous-
and.
Here s what the New York Tri-
bune, foremost republican news
paper, says: 1t would he idle to
pretend that the portion Of Mr..
Hughes address which deals with
the Lusitania massacre and our
relations with Germany is salts
factory to The Tribune. Nor shall
we undertake to make any such
pretense.
Mr.. Hughes has been opposed
to the income tax. National tax
dodgers will find some comfort in
this. =,
Hughes would have the rail-
roads escape control. Under
federal regulation he hopes to
pay them back for their campaign
support.

COTTON CLOTHS
DEMAND MODERATE
Market Rules Steady Manufact-
urers Insist on Full Asking
Prices for Trade.

Fall River. Mass. Feb. 10. The print
cloth division Of the cotton markets OF
New England was steady and firm last
week, with rather moderate demand
which was fairly we'll met. though
manufacturers usually insisted on full
asking prices. II has been possible 70
pick up few lots Of spot goods AZ
slight concessions, the manufacturer
holding them desiring % move the
goods and keep money coming along.
This sort Of business has been small,
However. Most manufacturers were
opposed 20 conceding anything IN price
for any deliveries. All contracts have
been held at full quoted prices, and
these prices were not always accept
able. Cotton is stifFening IN price.
Fine goods manufacturers continue IN
a distinctly better position than that
occupied by the manufacturers OF the
print cloth yarn division. There ~ an
active demand for all that the fine
goods mills produce, and the prices Of
fered insure fair profits. On some
STYLES and deliveries fine goods manu-
facturers are free 70 name any prices
within reason with certainty OF max
ing sales. In most cases, however, the
styles and deliveries required are diff
ficult 10 secure. In the market for
print cloth goods there has been a spe-
cially good demand for twills and sa-
teens. 1t has been for goods Of plain
weave that the demand has been mod
crate.
Total sales for the week are esti-
mated at 10000 pieces. Of which APP
proximately $4,000 pieces were spots.

Injunction TO restrain the United States

break or worse from that cause re-

the main, the readjustment OF traders

that makes no difference because they
are to be concealed by the boxes used
for the counter top. If leg is broken,
as is often the case with discarded
chair that you may find, you can
easily bind a stick to that corner of
the chair to prop it up, while, if a
back is broken, it can be mended good
enough by binding long stick up
and down or across it.
Stand the chairs back to back, as
shown in Fig. 2, and bind together the
pair of legs, also the backs, in several
places with wrapping Irvine. Then
place the grocery boxes on their sides
on the chair seats, so their open tops
will come at the back of the counter,

DARNING SOCKS AS BUSINESS
Mild Drudgery of Women Estimated
Worth Less Than rs Cents Per
Day-Cheaper to Buy.

In an address a New York advertis-
ing man said the biggest field open to
the business man today was in Great
ing new wants among the people, and
way, the Ohio State Journal observes:
IF stocking makers could convince
women it was cheaper and easier to
buy stockings than to darn old ones,
what a help it would be to the knit
ting industry. Darning stockings and
socks is the bugaboo of every woman"
There is a fine suggestion in all this
Darning stockings is too insignificant
an occupation for women of high think
ing and simple living. 1t may be
useful labor, but it is so tedious as to
wear the patience out of a good wom-
an. There is a humility in the task
that adorns a true woman, but there
is also mild drudgery about it that
crawls all over the nerves and leaves
track of worry and impatience. Or
dinarily it doesn't pay. 1t is possible,
if the work was brought down to the
base of ordinary wages, the good wom-
an wouldn't earn more than rs cents
day and that will buy six or seven
pairs of socks that will endure two
wearings. Besides, darned socks are
not much Improvement on the I'M
