Gardner VIII Set
High Water Mark

Union City, Tenn, Nov. 10-Fred-
eTick d. Gardner, who with his wife,
was here visiting Mrs. Gardeners ia
ther, after being informed that his
election as Governor Of Missouri
seemed probable, sent the following
message to st. Louis:
From present indications | have
been elected. Although the majority
is small, under existing conditions |
am satisfied. / am even more graft
fed that President Wilson seems to
have been reelected than / am thai
|, personally. have succeeded. am
deeply grateful to the people Of the
State. | can't find words to express
my appreciation to my loyal friends.
81 regret exceedingly that the land
bank amendment was defeated, and |
attribute its failure at the polls to
two causes:
"First, to the negative state Of
mind that our constitutional amend
ments in Missouri always seem to
cause. Second, to the belief on the
part of many that the Federal rural
credit plan-which was framed and
enacted into law since my plan took
form-should first be tried out. | am
proud to have been a pioneer in this
work and to have aided in centering
the attention Of the public on the dis
advantages under which the farmer
has labored in securing loans. l pro-
pose to continue this fight for the
farmer.
81 do not for minte expect that !
can do this work single-handed. |
know the legislature elected Tuesday
will contain many progressive and ex-
perienced men, who have had hand in
passing the good constructive laws of
the past four years. | want to work
with them and l want today to ask
their help.
81 shall depend much on the people.
l believe | can help in lining up pop
ular sentiment behind the legislators,
as they undertake the kind of con-
structive legislation the State needs.
The problems before US are too big
for the Governor and the Legislature
but they are not too big for Nilsson
ri. What a couple hundred of officials
cannot. think out, 3,250,000 of Mis-
sourians can.
"When l think of this problem of
business reorganization, which so
many States are struggling with, and
which the Federal Government must
tackle in the immediate future, | am
impatient to get at it. We have a
wonderful opportunity in Missouri to
break ground there, just as we have in
our insurance and banking legislation,
"Why shouldn't we set a new mark
in our public business affairs? What
lack in faith in myself l make up in
faith in Missouri"

PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST
IS NOT PROBABLE
The Official Count Of the States is the
Determining Factor as to Electors

thorities and there is more than one
certificate returned, the choice as to
those properly selected is with the
two houses. If the two houses disa-
gree the certificate signed by the ex-
ecutive of the State concerned shah
be binding and the votes so certified
counted.
The Constitution provides that
where an election is thrown into the
house a selection must be made by
the fourth of March following the
election, but this apparently is intend
ed only to cover cases where there is
tie, and whether it applies to those
where there is dispute over electors
from a State or States is not clear.
Should contests and recounts over
Tuesdays elections before State cam
vassing boards or in State courts con-
sumo such time that the Governors
would be unabel to certify the final
result by the time Congress meets it
was believed by legal experts here
that the final canvass could be held
open until March A and that a selec-
ton could be made by that time.
case from virginia.
Upon the question of State juris-
diction over choice of electors several
cases have been before the Supreme
Court, but apparently none directly
on the question of jurisdiction over a
recount of such electoral votes. In
1890, in a Virginia case upon prose-
cution for fraudulent voting for cleo
tors, Justice Gray said the only pow
ers of the Federal Government with
regard to the appointment or the
votes of presidential electors "are
those which authorize Congress to de-
termine the tie and the day on which
they shall give their votes, and which
direct that certificates of their votes
shall be opened by the president Of
the Senate in the presence Of both
houses and the votes be then counted.
Although electors are appointed under
the Constitution, they are no more Of
ficers or agents of the United States
than are members of the State Leg
islatdres when acting as electors Of
Federal Senator'S"
In the Hayes-Tilden contest of 1876,
before a joint congressional commits
sion, it was held that the States, and
not the Federal Government, provide
the means for verification Of the re-
turns on votes cast for electors.

FALL EXPOSURE IS MOST
INJURIOUS TO DAIRY COW

Exposure to cold rams IN November
is often more injurious to dairy cows
than the colder but dryer weather of
the later winter, C. H. Eckles of the
dairy department of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Mis-
souri, says. The cow, unlike a fat
steer has no layer of fat for protec-
ton. Bad weather and exposure caus-
es a drop in the milk production.
Every cold rain should find the COW
protected. 1t is not necessary that
any large amount be spent for their
housing but barns should have tight
walls and a good roof. Care should
also be taken to make them sanitary.

GOOD RULE TO ADOPT

The editorial item on free press no.
tees in the Auxiliary of October &c
prompts a Colorado publisher to write
as follows: 81
"When | started country newspaper
work here some eight years ago l
adopted rule that where charges
were made to the public my regular
advertising rates obtained. At first
there was some objection but it was
offset by an invariable rule to pay my
way and accept no complimentary
tickets. When this was understood
there was no further protest and |
have found the churches ever ready to
pay as they go with the printer, with
a better feeling all around.
at occurs to me there is another
point ON which most newspapers are
weak, especially where there is more
than one in a town, and that is the
personal abuse INDUCED in and the at
tacks on each other for accepting
printing contracts from various sourc-
es. After passing through the ex-
element of a political campaign one
is not surprised that the general pub

running newspaper is simply a
game of graft, and that the actual
business experience necessary to make
it a success is far removed. When
will newspaper men learn to stick to-
gether, in foul weather as well as
fair, demand a fair remuneration for
what they do and run their business
as they would be required to run it
in any other line-to make it respect
ed and financial soccess 2"
This rule of demanding cash for
announcements Of entertainments or
affairs Of any kind where admission
is charged is one that every publish
err can well afford to adopt. Once the
people of the community realize that
it is an iron-bound rule and that no
favoritism is shown to any one the
publisher should have no trouble

JEFF BROWNIES
HERESY.

Hon. jefferson B. Browne of Key
West, gentleman, scholar, dilettante
and just now a candidate for Justice
of the Supreme Court of Florida, with
all his qualifications, seems sadly lack
ing in knowledge of the functions of
the great office which he seeks at the
hands of the people of Florida.
Col. Browne in his Palatka speech
last Monday voiced dangerous here
sy as part of his platform. He said:
"All of the law is not included in
the books; you should elect as Judges
men who will shape the law according
to the policy of the people and their
sentiments"
If that is the doctrine of Jefferson
B. Browne, and the same could be put
in practice, what would be the need Of
legislatures to make laws? Really
Mr.. Browne can't mean what he says,
seriously.
The fathers of the American repub-
lie placed the government under three
separate heads, each to be supreme in
its own functions-the Executive, the
Legislative and the Judicial,
The executive may recommend to
tie legislative, but may not otherwise
interfere. 1t is the executives bust
ness to enforce the law as made by
the legislative branch of the govern
mcnt. 1t is for the Judiciary to in
terpret the law But it is alone the
function Of the Legislative depart
ment Of the government to MAKE the
isw-not the Judiciary.
When sentiment becomes crystalized
it generally finds expression in law en-
acted by the Legislature. Sometimes
the legislature does not wait until the
sentiment of the people has been as
certaineL-it sometimes acts too has
tily. Sometimes it fails to act at all
But until it does act, the Executive
and the Judicial departments must
under the constitution, keep "hands
off,"
If Col. Browne expects to go to the
Supreme Bench of Florida On such a
dangerous heresy as he voiced in Pa
latka, he is making a mistake, and the
people will make mistake in sending
him.
Certainly he knows better; but he
may have just been playing for votes.
