now reward those, who by their
every act have done all they could
to thwart and throttle our great
President. To reward these peo-
pie would be tantamount to saying
to the President, Mississippi Dem
ocrats are not in sympathy with
the National Democracy as repre-
sented by the Presidents policies
and administration.
When the time comes for our
people to choose between President
Wilson and those who have de-
famed him, this paper feels conf.
dent that the verdict will be over
whelmingly in favor Of the Presi-
dent. Friends and sympathizers
with the German Kaiser and his
murderous policies will receive no
honors at the hsnds of the free,
liberty loving, God. fearing Missis
sippi voters, who realizs and ap-
preciate what President Wilson has
done and wants to do to give lib.
erty to all the world. Their loyalty,
patriotism and gratitude they will
not Withhold and woe be unto those
who believe otherwise and hope to
gain favors and honors by attempt
ing to mislead the people.
President Wilson and his works
are known; 80 also are the vitu
perations and Misrepresentation
of his detractors, and by their
works shall they be judged by
Mississippians. The Appeal has
no fear of what the verdict will be.

The patriotism, loyalty. fidelity

soon be put to another test. They
are going to be called upon before
another twelve months to say by

Representatives men who will

those who will in every way OBJ

LIVE STOCK MARKET
Weekly Report by Greer & Co.,
Of Kansas City Stock
Yards

Receipts Of cattle are moderate,
only $4,000 on sale here today. The
top corn-fed steers sold ut $12.86. We
sold plain 1000 pound steers at $3.50.
Market Ii steady on fat stuff. We
sold New Mexico grass cows at $7.26;
good Gamers, $500; four cars Of New
Mexico stock cows at $3.50; New
Mexico stock heifers at $7.35, aver
age 400 pounds. Stocker and feeding
steers are active to 10 higher; veals
and bulls are steady; stock cows,
heifers, and stock calves are steady
to strong.
We expect q liberal run the remain
der of the week and q fair market.
When your cattle are ready for mar
ket we advise you to let them come.
The shortage Of stock cars all over
the country makes the danger of
heavier runs than the Stock Yards
Company can handle very slight.
Kansas City is now q six day market,
but prices, generally, are better the
first four days Of the week.
We quote good to choice corn steers
$13 at SIS; medium to fair, 50 to SIP.
Good to choice cows, So to $40; med
ium to fair, $6.75 to $7.40. Gamers,

The market opened steady to 10 cents
lower, and closed about steady with
Saturdays average top of $17.2O. The
bulk of sales ranged from $16.75 to
$17.10. The pig market is slow and
about steady, prices ranging from
$3.50 to $3.50.
This is the time of year when hogs
generally go a little lower, but We
look practically to q steady market
unless the receipts become too plenti-
full for the demand. We believe it
will pay you to make your hogs good
before shipping them.
There are 5000 sheep here today.
Market is slow and the demand not
very strong. Top lambs, $16.75.

OBITUARY

To the Editor of Baxter News,
Baxter Springs, Kansas.
am sending an article which /
trust you will allow space in your
paper. The article follows:
In Loving Remembrance
Joseph R. Pillar died at home in
Spring Valley Township Thursday,
November 29, 1917, at the age Of
fifty years, ten months and twenty
nine days. He was born January Is,
1867, in Murray county, Tennessee.
He had been q resident of this county
for about thirty-eight years and was
widely known and respected.
He was united in marriage to Ida
A. Bryan December %, 1891. To this
union one child was born, James Irwin
Pillar, who remained with the de-
ceased constantly the last months Of
his prolonged illness. He was a de-
voted Christian, self sacrificing hus-
band and father. There was nothing
in his power to obtain which was too
good for the satisfaction of the needs
Of his family. He seemed to think
of others always before himself.
The deceased was q member Of the
Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges Of
this city. He was a charter member
of the Odd Fellows Lodge, which he
had always held some honorable
trustworthy office, being the worthy
Treasurer of the order at the time Of
his death.
He had been failing in health fol-
over two years and was a constant
sufferer of Brights disease, liver ano
stomach trouble for eight months
The immediate cause of his death was
heart failure. He appeared to be feel.
ing better than usual that morning
and was standing in the door talking
to q neighbor, when his heart failed
and he died instantly. He bore his
Affections patiently at all times ant
appreciated everything that was done
for his comfort. A few weeks before
he died he decided to 60 to Claremore
Oklahoma, hoping to benefit his
health; but alas, it was In vain. He
returned home Immediately, accom-
panied by his wife and son. he never
seemed worried or discouraged ovel
his trip; but was thankful he hat
gone, for he seemed to have enjoyed
it very much. During the weary
months Of his illness he did not evel
appear to be lOw-spirited over his
condition. His prayer was THAT b.

Chas. sibbert, well known in the
Taylor community, as he owns
homestead about 10 miles northwest
and has resided in various places In
that vicinity, spent a short time the
past week looking after his farm
near Steele, but as the renter Of his
farm, John Laub, expects to be sum-
moned in the next draft, Mr.. Sibberr
thinks it likely that he may have to
move back. It is two years since he
moved to Steele. Mr.. Sibbert states
that crop conditions east of Bismarck
are much the same as here this fall,
but that the recent snow, with the

been very favorable for plowing.

Assault on Freedom Of Opinion.

In the bill relating to corrupt practices
which has already passed the House at
Washington it is provided that during
political campaigns newspapers and pc
riodicals shall publish no communications
on political subjects unless the real name
of the writer is appended and printed.
The rule is not to apply to officers, edi-
tors or employees who are not required to
sign their work.--Hartford Times.
Enforcement of such provision of the
pending bill would evidently outlaw
s'letters to the editor" on political sub
jects to which are signed fictitious names.
Congress would show as much wisdom to
abolish the secret ballot as it would to
do this thing In political campaigns
many person desires to state political
views in the press without exposing HIM
self to malicious reprisals by narrow
minded and intelerant employer, and he
has the privilege now. Does Congress
wish to deprive him of such privilege
in the futuref The provision would
have the effect of an assault on freedom
of opinion, and the free public express
sion thereof.-Springiield Republican.
