demand for a car that would give
comfortable and enduring service,
that possessed the qualities that APP
peal TO ones good taste, that would
meet every performance requirement.
and still was neither large, high

It IS the manner in which it full

We wanted to begin advertising the Essex as

before it would be ready for delivery but we wanted
everyone to know what kind of they might

But the Essex builders have been manufacturing

praise can equal in their influence the impression that
the itself can make. So they said we should rot

Motor Car Owners

Secretary of State John L Sulli-
van has sent to every bank and to
every licensed garage in Missouri a
supply of application blanks for au-
tomobile owners for 1919. These
applications should be secured, fill
ed out and sent in as early in jan
uary as possible, Then you will
have your plates on February /.
Application blanks will be sent
on request. as heretofore. but this
new plan is adopted as a measure
of conservation-time, paper, post
age and labor. BY applying to
bank for blanks, you will find that
you must send certified check or
draft; that it must be made paya.
BILE to state treasurer, and that
every item in your blank must be
filled in.
Be careful in giving motor num-
Der Of your car; do not give a part
or car number. BY giving correct
motor or engine number the de-
partment will be able TO aid you in
recovering your car should it be
stolen. This department has card
index of motor numbers. and has
aided in the recovery of about one
hundred cars by this system
Write your name so plainly that
there will be no possibility Of mis-
spelling it in the records. Give
your address in full. This will be

State Bank Report

Notwithstanding the fact that the
people of Missouri have invested
more than $5O00OO.OO0 in Liberty
Bonds and war savings and con-
tributed a vast sum outright to war
charities which was taken immedi-
ately outside the state, the state
banks and trust companies on
November, IA, 1918, carried $534.-
070524 in deposits. This was the
largest sum in the entire history.
To this huge sum must be added
probably a third as much more to
represent the deposits in the ma
tional banks. which are not includ.
ed in this report.
Bank Commissioner Enrieht's re.
port for bis bank call of November
ID shows that deposits leaped from
$481 ,277.019 November 20. 1917. TO
$534,070524, and increase of $751;
793,5O5
The increase is sufficient if divid-
ed equally among the people of the
state to give every man, woman
and child more than $12, and the
total deposits are large enough if
divided equally to give every man,
woman and child more than $152.
The increase in the item of bonds
and stocks for the year was $685..
979.S23, which represents in large
measure Liberty bonds held by the
banks. This is comparatively a
small amount when compared with
the total resources of the banks,
which aggregate 61,992,419.
During the year loans increased
$50. 081 1886, cash and sight ex-
change increased $13.821,734. CAPT.
tai, surplus and undivided profits
increased $3,846,855 and resources
So 4,446,700.it The only thing which
showed a decrease were the over
drafts, which dropped $1,O92,75S.
The total deposits in the state
ba nks and trust companies of St.
Louis on November ID, 1918. were
$172,099, 403. a sum much greater
than the year previous. The total
esOurces of these banks and trust
companies are $310,113,766

Baseball Salaries

1t has always seemed absurd that
baseball stars should have the big
salaries so often paid them We
send our boys to college TO acquire
the wisdom of the ages. The pro-
fessors that teach them that wisdom
think themselves lucky if they get
$4,000 a year. And then some of
these boys become professional ball
players and draw salaries twice
what their professors can earn in
their intellectual task And to earn
this high pay, a grammar school
education might have been suffic-
lent.
Perhaps the magnates begin to
think so too. This year the major
leagues will cut salaries $500 900 by
paying for FIVE months instead of
six
1t is unfortunate that a city or
town wishing to run a salaried ball
team, whether in the big leagues or
some local combination. must
pay such large amounts to get fast
players. The small city wishing to
run a snappy little semi professional
team, is as badly stumped by the
salary problem as the big city striv-
ing to keep a team in a major
league
The trouble is our people do not
take interest in sport unless they
win. You may put out a fast team,
entitled to the towns loyal support
But if the next town has one a lit
tie faster. the fans won't back up
the home team. They yell at it
from the bleao hers, the players get
sore, and the enterprise is abandon
ed.
Real lovers of baseball get plea
suse out of the game even if they
don't always win. If the fans would
back hard working team even il
it did lose good many games. il
would not be necessary to bid sc
high to get the very fastest players.
and twice as many towns coulc
maintain teams. We kill the sport
by our unwillingness to see tn,
home teams ever beaten.

BolSheviSm

The yellow peril OF Bolshevism is
spreading rapidly over Europe 1t
already has plenty of friends and
sympathizers in this country.
The best way to deal with the ex-
IRENE socialistic doctrines called by
the above name, is to do our level
best to see that the working masses
of this country get justice In so
far as the grievances of the labor
ing people are removed, in so far as
they get a decent wage and decent
W orkine day. and comfortable homes
to live in. in so far Bolshevism will
be slow in getting hold. When
people are overworked and under
paid and live in novels on scanty
food, then it is that pernicious social
doctrines make progress.
Legislation favorable to the work
ing masses is a safeguard against
the red flag. If children are pro.
tected from the curse of child labor,
if they are allowed to 90 to school
u ntil they have a decent education,
if the home is a comfortable one,
the young folks are not going out
into life with crazy and destructive
notions.
That is why the country has been
fortunate to have at its head a man
like President Wilson, who has been
sympathetic with the laborine mas
S es in their effort to better their
CO nditions. When the country is
run by politicians who take the CAPT.
talistic view. there is a certain in-
difference to many existing social
wrongs. The cry of oppressed ele-
ments of society seems distant and
remote and is not attended to.
This has been the general trend of
Legislation by the Republican party.
The Democratic party. coming
closer to the workingman, has done
great deal to relieve the danger
of Bolshevism. The many humani.
tartan laws placed on our statute
books through Democratic votes
are the best protection against
social unrest.

Moral Force

In President Wilson's brief ad-
dress at Carlisle, he said: 1T is
moral forces as much as physical
force that has defeated tie effort
to subdue the world"
Every nation worthy the name
has firm substratum of moral
force. The nation may seem i'm
mersed in the affairs of the world;
perhaps its attention is devoted to
commerce and the development of
science, perhaps to the promotion
of luxury.
But beneath these outward signs
lies the moral force, only awaiting
emergency to come to the surface.
1t will take possession of the ma
TONS finest thought and the love
of money and the love of luxury
will in moment, as it were. be
subordinated.
In the recent war we have seen
Americaschange with rapidity from
a peace-loving, materialistic country
to one swayed by its belief in right
willing to- sacrifice money. COM
fort. pleasure for principle. Amer
ica's young manhood believed that
in entering the war it was launched
in the. hOliestEof all crusades.
Religlon:is often interviewer with
this manifestation, hut it is not es-
sentially a religious manifestation.
Its roottis in. the principle of liberty
and the willingness to sacrifice all
to gain this principle which found
ed America.i This may lie dormant
in the hearts of the people for
years at a time. but tradition and
character keepit alive. When the
time comes it springs to life like a
rebirth.
President Wilson may be an
idealist. but America under all
forms of practically and material
ism isga country of ideals. 1t was
indeed the.Imoral force lying back
Of its physical force which helped
to bringlabout the great result.

Coddling the Stacker

Coddilng the Stacker
Some grotesque things are hap
penine inconnection with the demob-

an every day occurrence at Camp
Funston as an Instance.

Nevertheless, when these gentry
