Says the st. Louis Censor, staunch
Republican paper of st. Louis, on the
'occasion66f the Silver Anniversary of
its Service to the people and Repub-
lican party: "If Hyde and his little
man Hughes would give more Of their
time and attention to state matters
and less to federal patronage. where
they have no business TO try and butt
in, things in the state. that they are
responsible for, would not be in such
a hell of shape And further ''That
Democratic clean sweep at Hannibal
was certainly a swine at Hyde and his
little coterie. AS long as Gov. Hyde
is advised by his bank examiner,
Hughes, other places will go Demo-
cratic, just as Hannibal did,"

FRANCE COMING BACK

When France was whipped by Ger.
many, fifty years ago, the indemnity
that was laid upon her was considered
SO great that she could not pay it
within the next fifty years. To the
surprise of the world, France met her
obligations in full III about ten years
after the war ended and German SOL
diers had to be RECALLED from her ter
ritory.
A few years ago when we read daily
of the destruction that was being
wrought in France by the On-rushing
German armies, we got the impression
that tAis generation would not see
France come back. However, in re-
cent figures from France can be seen
the degree Of restoration that has al
ready taken place in the areas deyast-
ed during the war. In 1914 the popu-
l5sion of these devasted districts was
100000. At the time of the armis-
tice it had fallen to 1906, 900, while to-
day the former residents have return
ed until the total is only 100000 be-
low the pre-war record. Nine-tenths
of the soil of the districts fought oy-
er was damaged; this is now four
fifths restored to cultivation. The area
of land which it was necessary to
clear of projectileS, barbed wire en-
tanglements, and other war imple-
ments was about 100000 acres.
There were 100000 houses in the &C.
cupied area and at the time of the
Armistice 293,733 houses had been en-
tirely destroyed and 296,502 partly
damaged. The Germans took away
$4,000 oxen. 100000 sheep and 367,-
900 horses, According to the latest
figures 117,0oO oxen,, $4,000 sheep
and 2tb9, 900 horses had been returned.
TIE railroads are now SO 1-2 per
cert normal; so per cent of the bridg-
eS are repaired, and so per cent of the
industrial works are in operation.
Coal mines in the areas in question
had an output of 22,548,659 mertic
tons prior to 1914; they have already
been restored to an output AZ IL per
cent of the pre-war level
With the financial aid that will come
to France from Germany, we may ex-
pect to see the record made fifty years
ago duplicated. r,

An hour later they were safe In
