"Yonr letter Of Oct. 10 at hand Wish

thing, but for the past two weeks it has
been excellent weather, SO we cannot
complain.

war would be over in November, / was
hoping so anyway.
81 like France very well, but there is
no place like the good old U. s. A. for
me. The people of France treat us boys
fine, especially the madamoiselles. The
army life agrees with me all right. /
viii venture to tell you something of
France. 1t is a very pretty country
It's valleys are full of pretty homes and
flowers, and its cities are beautiful, with
fine buildings and sidewalks. The streets
are made of concrete and all of the
country roads are of stone foot thick,
with gravel or crushed stone on top. In
morale, the country is fine, but we all
know there is no place like home.
II am on guard duty, so viii bring this
letter to a close by saying / am well

Oh, our hearts are sad and lonely,
And our eyes are dim with tears.
Absence makes the heart grow fond

But we often sit and ponder
Mother whether it is true
For we feel when you are near
Naught can make you seem more
dear.
But we well know Mother darling,
That wen meet again some day
In Gods land of love and sunshine,
When the clouds have rolled away
Sadly missed by husband.

OF MISSOURI.
Scholar, Jurist and Statesman-Dis.
tinguished Missourian May Be the
G. o. P. Nominee for Presi-
dent in 1920.
BY ]. SiIas Harris.

Among the many names of distin-
guished men that are now being men.
toned for the presidency, none is at
tracing more attention than that of
Missouri's favorite son, Senator Selden
+. Spencer. By defeating Hon. Joseph
w. Folk, former governor and Demo-
cratic idol of Missouri, in the mem.
orable senatorial campaign of 1918.
Senator Spencer at once became a
most formidable character in national
politics.
For years Missouri has been regard
ed as the Gibraltar of Bourbon Democ-
racy, but Spencer's signal victory over
FOLK by a majority of more than 35, 900
has placed that grand old common
wealth in the doubtful column fact
that will be well for the party to con-
slider when selecting the standard
bearer for the battle of 12O. Spencer
is a statesman of ripe scholarship, a
man of wide and versatile experience, a
gentleman of spotless character, a
forceful and convincing orator and a
magnetic leader of men. In the years
gone by, when the fate of the Repub-
lican party was hanging in the bal.
ance, it was grand old Missouri that
stepped forth and saved the day. The
party has never gone west of the Mis-.
issippi River for its candidates for
President, but the disastrous campaign
of 1916 was a gentle reminder that this
section-the greater half of the Nation
must no longer be left out of the
equation in future presidential elect
tions.
