Dor and capital; new State constitu-
ton; the taxation problem; provisions
for caring for the blind and other
helpless human beings; and other sim
liar popular propaganda, the three
pu5ernatorial candidates, Crossley,
Atkinson and Farris, agree, the only
difference being in the phraseology
employed in proclaiming these'hynop-
tic doctrines to plebeian electors.
Friends of Senator Farris say that
he win throw bombshell among his
opponents, as soon as all are official
" in the running, by emphatically pro-
claiming where he stands on convert
ing the present costly State public
Service Commission into a revenue
producing institution of real benefit
to the people of the State, the purpose
for which it was originally intended.
A demand will accompany his decla-
ration that each other gubernatorial
candidate as clearly outline his atti-
tude on the same issue. 1t will be
cited, it is stated, that before the
United States, as a war measure, took
over the big railroads of the country,
passenger fare in Kansas City was
two and half cents a mile, the Pub
lie Service Commission having made a
dead letter of the law which fixed the
charge at two cents a mile. Under
federal control the rate was raised to
three cents a mile. With the return
of the roads to the original owners,
legal authorities hold, State jurisdic-
ton over intra-state affairs again be-
came effective, restoring thereby all
pre-war regulations and charges, in
GLIDING the two and a half cents a
mile rate. A week has elapsed since
the Missouri railroads were returned
to their former owners without ac-
ton on the part of the Public Service
Commission to restore the original
rates. Those who know say that SEN
ator Farris will announce where he
stands on this proposition and de-
mand a similar declaration from his
opponents.
Up to Moore, Garrett, Lindsay and
Mayer to File.
With the advent Of spring and the
coming of favorable campaigning
weather, it is expected that George H.
Moore of st. Louis, Internal Revenue
Collector of the Eastern District OF
Missouri; Judge Charles H. Mayer OF
st. Joseph; Col. Garrett of Kansas
City, and A. N. Lindsay of Clinton,
will soon tell what their intentions
are, and, if they get into the guber-
Material derby, what policies and is
sues they will travel on. While
Moore end Judge Mayer who is best
known out in Missouri as a former
State Senator from the district OF
which st. Joseph is the leading city
are regarded as being liberal Demo
Gratis, they will be called on to publicly
proclaim where they really stand or
the wet and dry question. DR.. Lind
say is classed as dry candidate and
those who know say, if he gets int
the running, will help Atkinson anC
Crossley split the dry Democrati,
vote of rural Missouri. Where Col
Garrett stands on the question of pro
hibition no one in rural Missouri i
prepared to state, but he will undoubt
eddy toe the mark on the subject /
he throws his tin war helmet into tn
arena. ,,S

the most insidious form of damage to
Democratic interests in the way of
colored news articles, playing up of
petty rivalries within Democratic
ranks, distortion of inconsequeutial
happenings so as to feed any grow
ing distrust in the rank and file of
Democracy, makes it power to be
reckoned within the campaigns now
coming on. 1t must be admired for
its finesse, even though its motives
and methods must at the same time
meet with the condemnation Of every
fair and open-minded partisan on eli
Their side.--Caruthersville Democrat.

PROVIDE FOR SEWAGE DISPOSAL

The two greatest conveniences of
the home are a system of running wa
ter, and a sanitary method for dis
posing of sewage. A sewage disposal
system changes the farm from an I'M
healthy to healthy and pleasant
place to live-a place where the dis
ease breeding fly will cease to -four
ish, because its food supply will have
been taken away. The septic tank
system, which has been installed so
successfully on many farms, is de-
scribed in detail in Extension Circular
II of the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture, Columbia. A

MIssOURPS BRIGHT PROSPECTS

jefferson City, March 6: That
prosperity has full possession OF Mis-
souri, and will be much in evidence
throughout the entire year, regardless
of the high cost of living, is wildly
illustrated by some facts and figures
lust given out by Secretary of State
John L. Sullican. dealing with the re-
markable increase in issuance OF auto
mobile state plates and licenses during
January and February of 1920, as
compared with the same months OF
both 1918 and 1919.
Automobiles are still classcd as cost
Nv Injuries, especially with the pre-
vailing high cost of gasoline and ac-
cessories, and the ever increasing price
of the cars themselves, regardless OF
how plentiful they are everywhere,
and for this reason the number in use
serves as an efficient barometer on
which to gauge the prosperity OF the
state.
The annual day for renewing auto.
mobile plates and licenses in Missouri
is February / Of each year. January
and February are the months when the
automobile department Of the Secre-
tarv of State runs day and night, in
GLIDING Sundays and holidays, to keep
apace with the demand for new plates
and licenses. During the months OF
January and February, 1920, Secre-
tary of State Sullivan issued 1925
owners plates, thereby breaking all
previous high records in this respect,
regardless Of the fact that half Of the
working force were lagrippe victims
most of those sixty days. In January
and February, 1919, when 129,3l7,-
plates were issued, as compared 70
100 84 for the same two months in
1918, it was thought the high water
mark had been attained. The 1920
plates issuance record exceeding that
of 1919 by nearly 10000 plates, con-
stituted a gain Of over 47.9 per cent
over that of the previous year.
To further indicate the increase OF
Missouri prosperity, 1920 over any
wear in the chronicles and legend of
| the state. during the two months con-
| sidered in this treatise. James O'Con-
nor. Supervisor of the State Automo-
bile Department, reported to Secre-
tary of State Sullivan, that, in add
ton to the plates to car owners, i
| 500 plates were issued to dealers, as
compared to 1885 dealers plates dur
ing the same months of 1918. This
increase in Missouri automobile deal
ers and selling agencies in a year,
nearly 80 per cent, is accepted by cri-
terions on the industry as indicating
that the Missouri Automobile bust
ness, 1920, will exceed that of 1919 by
fully forty per cent.
Other 1920 achievements Of Seere-
tary of State Sullivan's automobile
department include the issuance Of 81.
1883 duplicate dealers plates; 1,277 mo-
ltorcycle plates and 1855 Chauffeur
badges. The gains in issuance Of such
plates and badges, 1920, over any pre-;
vious pears records were as marked
| for owners and dealers plates.
| The st. Louis branch Of Secretary o.
State Sullivan's automobile licensing
department, in January and February
Of 1920 issued plates for and register.
led d3,775 car owners: badges to y
1884 chauffeurs and plates to 518 mo-
ltorcyeles owners. The Kansas City
branch, the same two months, -920, is.
sued plates for and registered 29,l5l

car owners and for 293 motorcycles,
and also 2,O29 chauffeur badges; and
the St. Joseph office, 7,708 car own
err plates; 342 chauffeur badges and 81
motorcycle plates.
For the month of January and Feb
ruary 1920, Secretay Of State Sulli-
van deposited in the State Treasury,
to the credit of the Good Roads Fund,
the sum of s1,012, 1920. Such are
the indications of record breaking
year of prosperity for Missouri dur
ing 1920.

Absent Willie Wise

This is the tale Willie WISE who pompaudored his hair
At kelley pool, beyond doubt, he certainly there.
He knew the dancing steps, at bridge he shark
He wasn't very much by day, but wonder after dark
It mattered very little what the function affair,
Of Willie Wise it could be said he certainly there
He with all the line of talk that fills the idle hours
At posing limelights glare he had unusual
He the latest thing in clothes and fell for funny hats
He had upon dressed his feet in spats
He was perfection all the time he silk underwear
In dress manner should say, he certainly there
You could depend Willie Wise-hed tell you himself,
In matters social here would leave him the shelf
the convention rules and laws from to and then
He had some little tricks unknown many
At tea or dinner OPERA of church bazaar fair
He'd shine among shiniets for he surely there!
But when came to toll, andduies hard to face
1t seemed that Willie Wise sadly out of place.
He didn't like the office grind and had for work,
wouldn't carry load which somehow he could shirk
He Numbered everything he tried and didn't to
For when it came making goodhe simply wasn't there

WOMEN NEED sWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney

pect it.
Women's complaints often prove to
be nothing else but kidney trouble, or
the result of kidney or bladder dis
ease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness, are often times
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
