THE GREATER ECONOMISTS.

Surrounded by a thousand and one petty,
sordid details of daily life men are inclined to
overlook leaven that is working without ces-
sation in the face of their apparent failures and
yexations. For every battalion OF workers,
forced to more or less materlalistic view OF
the struggle for existence by the nature OF their
constant tolls and worries, there is an ldeallst,
visionary who refuses to be dismayed by the
reluctance of all the cogs in the mundane ma
chinery to mesh Simultaneously. While nine
hundred and ninety nine Americans are worry
ig over the future of our mines and our trans
port, the odd man Of scientific and engineering
knowledge coupled with vision is at work IN an
endeavor to bring to fruition long imagined
plan for Harvesting all the power of our tides
and our waterways. He hopes to lead the feed
wire from the coast waters Of Massachusetts,
gathering up power from all sources, across the
states to a central transmission line from which
feeder lines will supply New York City, Boston
or Washington, with the hundreds of smaller
communities which lie between the bigger black
dots upon the industrial map. All the north
Atlantic region between Boston and Washing
ton is now being surveyed by the super-engin-
eer who has his mind set upon supplying the
power needs Of the busy fifty thousand square
miles in which large portion Of the country s
products are finished. If the plan is ever put
into operation it will be because it will save the
country nearly half its coal.
When people are crowded too closely by diff
fcult conditions of life, the obvious remedy is
to look about for new ways that will assuage
their tolls and difficulties And so, in line with
the project outlined to furnish electrical power
for the eastern coast country, Professor J. ".
Dorsey Of the University Of Manitoba, has an
nounced that he has discovered a new method
of transmitting electric power which will re-
duce the cost One-half.
''Long before the coal fields Of the world are
exhausted electricity will have suppIanted coal
as the universal fuel in homes and the motive
power in industry said Professor Dorsey

Over fifty years ago a young
physician practiced widely in
rural district and became famous
for his uniform success in the
curing of disease. This was DR..
Pierce, who afterwards estab-
lished himself in Buffalo, N. Y,
and placed one of his prescriptions,
which he called Golden Medical
Discovery" in the drug stores of
the United States so that the pub
lie could easily obtain this very
remarkable tonic, corrective and
blood maker. DR.. Pierce manu-
featured this Discovery" from

remedy, the ingredients of which
nature had put in the fields and

and business 'luxuries" and to await
lower prices before purchasing actual
necessities, according to James B.
Clews. managing partner of Henry

In other words, the country Is I'M
iidegoing a sudden attack of common
sense" Clews said in an interview to-
day.
! The banker added that contribu-
ting factor in bringing about return
to normal conditions is "the aetermin-
ed attitude of the federal reserve au-
thorities with regard to debating cred
its which were becoming not only dan
gerous but burden to the country.
For a long time prices were boil
stored to undue heights, owing to the
unwillingness of manufacturers and
others to be satisfied with pre-war
profits and owing to the comparative
ease with which funds were obtain
able, large stocks of goods were kept
on hand rather than put on the mar
ket," Clews said.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
A SUMMER NOON,

Who has not dreamed world of bliss
On bright summer noon like this,
Couched by his native BROOKS green maze
!, it'll eeGnrade of his boyish days,
While all around there seemed TO be
asst as in joyous infancy?
NSho has not loved at such an hour,
iron that heath, in birchen bower,
l.ulled in the poets dreamy mood
Its wild and sunny solitude? .-
While DER the waste of purple ling
Yea mark sultry gfimmering;
Silence herself there seems to sleep
Wrapped in slunfber long and deep,
Where slowly stray those lonely sheep
Through the tail foxgove's crimson bloom,
And cleaning on the scattered broom.
Love you not then TO list and hear
The cracking of the gorse flowers near,
Pouring an orange scented tide
OF fragrance Ger the desert w1deg
To hear the buzzards whimpering shr1ll,
lowering above you, high and still?
The twittering of the bird that dwells
Among the heath's delicious bells?
While round your bed, DER fern and blade,
Insects in gold and green arrayed,
The suns gay tribes have lightly strayed,
And sweeter sounds their huHming wings
Than the proud minstrels echoing strings.

| MEXICO CITY, Sept. 27.-Alleged
efforts of l. w. w. representatives
to engage Mexican labor in general
strike on the American continent Oc-
tober ! were failure, according to
the evidence today.
Demonstrations here and In other
Mexican cities yesterday were orderly
and the only action taken was the
adoption of a series of resolutions
relating to living costs and working
conditions.
Previously the l. W. w. delegates
had announced that the meetings had
H been called to arrange for Mexican
participation in a general strike to
start on the North American CONT
inent October ! and thereafter to
spread throughout the world.
In Mexico City two thousand labor
ers marched in a parade carrying
banners with the usual labor slogans
and listened to number of speeches
regarding labor's aims and rights.
The meeting demanded government
action to reduce the cost of living
and the appointment of price regu-
ilating commission.
Several paraders, however, gained
admission to the national palace
and addressed crowd from bal
cony. They urged action for the
triumph of the proletariat" and the
downfall OF the bourgeoise. One
speaker went to the extent Of advo-
eating the use of dynamite on the

SPENCER
AT kAHOkA
Junior Senator Of Missouri Speaks
in Clark County Saturday After
noon Before Crowded
House.

I
KAHOKA, Mo-, Sept. 27-Senato
Selden p. Spencer, junior senator o
Missouri. delivered masterful ad
dress before a large and enthusiastic
audience at the opera house in ka
hoka Saturday afternoon. The seat
ing capacity of the house was IN
adequate to accommodate the CROWD
which congregated to hear the dis
tinguished guest. Many stood in the
| aisles and many were, turned away
Senator Spencer. accompanied by
Hon. L. d. Thompson, republican
! candidate for state treasurer, arrived
in Medill at 2 p. m. and were met
| by large delegation from kahoka
and the surrounding country, in
autos gaily bedecked with the stars
and stripes. and conveyed to kahoka.
Some fifteen cars were in line.
The audience was called to order
by County Chairman A. E. Ostrich,
who introduced Rev. c. E. Newton,
who presided Mr. Thompson was
first introduced. He spoke briefly
Of his candidacy for state treasurer.
When Senator Spencer was intro
duced he was given greeting fully
in keeping with the high position he
occupies in the state and nation,
reception which fully measured up to
the popularity and esteem in which
he is held by the people of Clark
county and the state. Senator Spen-
Ger spoke but briefly of state issues
and then launched into discussion
of what is considered the paramount
issue of the campaign-the league oil
nations. He expressed his views
forcefully, logically and emphatically
and left no doubt in the minds and
hearts of his hearers where he stood
on this question. The senator is
against the Wilson brand of league
in fact he made it very plain that
he is against any kind of lague
which will put the United States at
the beck and call of any foreign
country He also explained that por-
ton of the Wilson treaty which gave
to Japan that much disputed and
discussed portion Of China known as
this, too. against the
wishes and Judgment of the four
commissioners who accompanied the
president and sat with him at the
peace table. He also explained the
Monroe doctrine and showed wherein
this ancient, time-honored and re
spected doctrine would be affected
and discarded by the league of ma
tons as advocated by the opposition
party The senator's address through
out was free from abuse; not once
did he stoop to the ward politician
brand of language and charges. His
was a clean-cut discussion of the
issues as he saw them. That he made
many friends and won for himself
warm place in the hearts of his hear
ers was demonstrated by the spon-
taneous applause which greeted his
telling points and the many who
pressed forward to shake his hand
at the conclusion of his masterful adj
dress.
The address of Senator Spencer
was the opening gun Of the campaign
In Clark county. This suspicious
and favorable beginning will be
pushed vigorously to final hearing
on election day.
The next speaker for Clark county
will be Hon. Conway Elder, repub-
lnan candidate for supreme judge,
at the court house in Kahoka Wed

BASEBALL GAMBLING.

: The average man believes that where there
is smoke there is fire, no matter whose woodlot
$ lit is in question, but he wants to be convinced
that the thing which he is told is smoke is not
merely a fog of accusations thrown IN front OF
something reputable to cloak the movements
and designs Of something disreputable For
this reason those who read the sporting pages
and love the American game Of baseball Will be
unusually interested In the findings of the grand
Jury at Chicago which has undertaken an in
vestgation Of allegations to the effect that there
was gambling by participants in last years
world S series and in the game between the
Chicago and Philadelphia National league clubs
on August thirty first, this year. A host of
managers, players, officials and sport writer's
has been subpoenaed and the grand jurors, if
legal power can arm them sufficiently, will de-
eide whether the pastime has come under that
blight of professional gambling which has
wrecked many sports and made them offensive
ito the nostrlls Of honest and decent sportsInen.
Professional sport in this country furnishes suf-
Ifcient precedents to Justify a suspicion of the
possibility Of crookedness, even in baseball.
The history of wrestling shows what CONNER
cialisn can do to wreck contests that once were
popular. Professional boxing prize ring,
to give it its real name-has been put on a statu-
tory basis In some states, but is reeking with
the stencil Of ''bought and paid for accusa-
tons Track games by professionals have died
the death through the manipulation of sprinters
and runners; horse racing is often and openly
the machinery for widespread gambling.
If baseball is to follow in the path of those
other sports which have been discredited, the
public, which has supported it too generously,
ought to know it. The qualification too gen
erously' is used advisedly for if the virus of
gambling is injected into ball players, it will
be because of over-prosperity that has been ac-
corded the player and the er-advertising of
his merits. He has been placed on too high
pedestal and allowed so much easy money that
he has come to regard himself as above the nor
NAL The public has been trained to believe in
the integrity of baseball, and this belief is very
general. II magnates and players think there
is anything going on under the surface to under
mine that confidence, they will do well to act
quickly, for if the public faith in the honesty of
professional baseball players is destroyed a
great game will go into the discard.
