Stories That Recall Others
Of Course

Father came into the house the other evening decidedly cross. His bad humor accompanied him to the supper table and he proceeded to criticize everything on the table. Finally he took a mouth ful of potatoes, made a face and then demanded, Where on earth did these potatoes come from?'
 Three year old Dorothy looked up from her own food to answer his ques- tion before mother had a chance, Why daddy" she said sweetly, "out of the peelings, of course"
 And daddy could not keep from get ting in a better humor after that.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
How Women Should Vote

MT. Editor:
 In reply to MT. CampbelPs letter would like to ask the gestleman why indeed should be any speculation as to which way the women will cast their vote on November 2nd?" While a few will vote for the democratic party and many will cast their votes for the re- publican part, I hope that women-true women. will cast their votes for the prohibition party-even if it is not sue cessful, because it stands for the best interest of our country.

BRYAN OBEAR ENGINEER
AND INVENTOR. DI

Bryan Obear, well-known resident
of st. Louis, inventor and engineer,
died Monday afternoon at st. Luke's
Hospital, aged 65 years.
He was born in St. Louis, April II,
1885. He was the son of Josiah H.
and Maria Jane Obear, and was edu-
Gated in the Clay School, German In-
stitute, Washington University ', and
Virginia Military Institute, Lexington,
Va. Ing
He studied law, but never practised.
He turned his attention to farming
in Boone county Mo, where he .estab-
lished a fine stock farm and bred, thor
oughbrsd, horses. About forty years
ago he imported George Frederick,
winner Of, the English Derby, and
placed him on the Boone County
farm. ISsw traa
From 1ls2 to 1887 he was engineer
for contractors in Arizona. Later he
became secrtary-treasurer of the Ju-
Han Mining and Mill Company in st..
Louis. In 1889 he went to Chicago,
where he became manager of the
Western Smoke Preventer Company,
and remained in that position five
years. Il,

pie. Few persons or newspapers
excepting the Marion Daily Star, own
ed and edited by Senator Warren G.
Harding ever have had the hardi-
hood to question the Americanism of
Roosevelt. The Roosevelt family
long has been prominent ID New York
because Of its,stand for fighteou sness
and its feaflessness and Franklin d.
Roosevelt, Democratic nominee for
vice president, is typical member of
the family.
Standing more than six feet, brod-
shouldered, highly educated and with
career vlosely paralleling that Of his
relative. the late Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, the Democratic nominee is wor-
thy running-mate to Gov. Cox. They
have bany qualities in common. Both
are progressive, both are fighters and
each has beaten Republican machine
which was thought to be invincible.
Franklin d. Roosevelt's entry into
public life was spectacular. Nomi-
mated on the Democratic ticket for a
seat in the New York Senate from a
district which long had been over
whelmingly Republican, he made such
an aggressive compaign and attacked
the Republican machine which control
led the district with such vigor that
when the ballots were counted it was
found that the surprising had occurred
and that he had been elected.
Eentering the Senate, he at once be-
came a power to be reckoned with and
when Woodrow Wilson sought a man
for the second highest position in the
Navy Department he chose Roosevelt
because of his demonstrated ability.
1t was largely due to the hard work
and technical knowledge of Mr.. Roose-
welt that the navy reached such high
state of efficiency during the war.
Working with Secretary Daniels he
had the navy ready to fight the in
slant war was declared and all during
the long struggle helped maintain it's
organization on the highest possible
level.
Few government officials in Wash
ngton are more popular than Mr..
Roosevelt and few are held in higher
respect by the men who come in con-
tact with them. 1t is said that Mr..
Roosevelt, like the Colonel, never is
so happy as when he is working hard
and this probably is not an untruth
for he seemed to hunt out difficult pro-
blems in the Navy Department and
solve them.
In selecting Cox and Roosevelt, the
Democratic convention framed a tick
ct on which the party can 90 before
the voters with apology and confident
of victory. The old Republican cry,
heard last January, that the Republi-
can ticket, regardless of who was no.
minated, could beat the Democratic
ticket, no matter who was selected
has dWlndled into nothingnesg. The
false Republican charge that the De-
mocratic convention would be a puppet
IN the hands of the President and
would nominate any men he selected
has been disproved. Woodrow Wilson
made no attempt to dictate the nomi-
nees and they were selected in open
convention after one of the hardest
but cleanest fights in the history of
American politics. The battle was in
the open. No conferences Of Old Guard
Senators in hotel room dictated the
nominee. The ticket is the choice of
the party and with the ticket, Demo-
cracy can win in November.

as soon as certain autocratic and I'M
American declarations he is averred to
have made in 1918, if they are true
and good authority says they are true,
become generally known.
Already labor leaders of nation
wide prominence have declared that
Harding is too old-fashioned in his be-
liefs and actions and too much of a
fogey generally to be President of a
nation as important and predominant
as the United States at time when
the world is in the remaking. His
unfriendly attitude toward organized
labor in the past will be used against
him by this force to bring on his de-
feat in November.
