DIR. J. L. EATON
y SPENDS TWO DAYS HERE

That staunch Republican paper, the
Lutesville Banner, the party organ of
Bollinger county, has the following
this week concerning our st. Francois
county candidate for Congress:
DR.. j. l.. Eaton, Democratic candi-
date for Congress of this District, and
from st. Francois county, came down
Wednesday and spent part of two
days here meeting the people. DR.,
Eaton is a man of ability and a
strong personality, with the faculty OF
making and retaining many warm
personal friends.
With his friends and ability as a
speaker it looks like he has the nomi-
nation, DR.. Eaton has demonstrated
his ability in the economical and sue.
cessful management of Hospital No
A, at Pennington, which gives him 6
standing among the faithful in thi!
district that will be hard to overcome
by any aspirant who may enter thu
race and attempt to secure the nomi
nation.
His progressive and constructive
ideas will appeal to many of the Dem
ocratic voters of the district at the
primary.

The President, strenuous advocate
of economy, is enjoying his beautiful
new launch, purchased for him out of
the peoples money, to convey him
from the wharf to the Mayfiower and
back again. Of course fine launch
had always been provided for this
purpose, but some official probably
desired to win the approval of the roy
al eye for prosperous moment, con-
ceived the idea that the successor of
Jackson and Lincoln should ride in
palatial state such as was affected by
the Roman emperor of those luxuri-
Gus times proceeding the fatal day
when the barbarians stabbed their
horses in the Forum. A forty-five
thousand dollar launch is the result;
it is used about five minutes per
week. 1t is built Of solid mahogany
from the forests of Santo Domingo,
decked with the silver of Mexico and
cushioned with the silks of the Orient.
1t would require the fervid magma
ton of Pope or Rider Haggard to
visualize some of Hardings prede-
cessors using the hard-wrung taxes of
the farmer and the laborer for this
ostentation of luxury while preaching
economy in every breath. Who can
imagine old Andrew Jackson, who
slept in his tent with his spurs on in
the muddy Chalmette bottoms waiting
for the British to land, allowing his
understrappers to buy such bauble
for him out of the peoples money :?
And how would Lincoln look, who
could split more rails from sun to sun
than any other man in his county,
lolling back in the down-filled cush-
ions of this wonderful boat? The
party of Lincoln has fallen into
strange control in these later days

TOO MUCM PROFANITY

TOO often cussing is taken as a
L matter Of course. Men in high
positions are frequently expert in the
use of profane words, and the infiu-
ence Of bad language has bad effect
on both the old and the young.
Much effort is being made to in
crease the use Of better English, and
along with this propaganda 1t would
be well to preach considerable against
the use of bad language. F.
Directly cusslng, unless the name OF
the Master is taken in vain, may cause
no great damage. But indirectly It does
much harm. When the little folk hear
their parents swearing, their respect
for their elders Is either lessened or
else the youngsters begin using 1t
themselves as matter of course. Not
infrequently we hear little shavers,
hardly able to speak plainly, using
language which would put many men
and women TO shame.
Pike county, Kentucky, recently
honored the memory of its oldest citi-
zen, Jesse B. Osborne. Much was said
in praise Of this departed citizen, who
crossed the bar at the age of ninety
two years, and no louder praise was
heard than of his reputation for never
having permitted profane word to
pass from his lips.
Judging from this event, one might
assume that profanity is the rule rather
than the exception. II this Is the case,
isn't 1t about time to call halt? The
old remedy, considered quite effective
for curing profane habits. was to wash
the boys mouth with soap. But, from
our observation, we are inclined to be-
lieve that it would be unfair to use
such remedy to stop youths from
cussing. The cause too frequently
rests with the parents who worry and
complain because their offspring are
devilish and almost beyond their con-
troll. A general mouth-washing of the
elders probably would have greater
effect.
Profane language Is not beautiful.
It does no good. 1t may be the step
ping-stOne to lives of crime which end
in prison cells. For once the bars are
lowered against small wrongs, the big
ger wrongs are certain TO be lurking
near and crawl into ones life.
Less profanity would add to the joy
of the world.

Kept on his, feet, and went right on
running; he couldn't stop then, but
when Mr.nFSx rolled into the muddy
pond Mr.. Dog was running toward
him from the other side Of the pond.
OF course, Mr. Fox did not walt for
him. Oh, no; he picked himself up
and off he bOunded, and where Mr.
Dog went he did not know, but he
hoped he had found Mr.. Coon In, the
tree.
He was pretty sure he didn't and SO
he was trying now as he sat by the
fire to think up story to tell be-
fore Mr.. Coon could tell what he saw,
and have the laugh on him with all
the other members of the Four Paws
club.
Fox started off for the club to be
there ahead of Mr.. Coon, for he had
thought of story to tell, explaining
just how 1t all happened.
AS each member arrived Mr.. Fox
would say, Let me tell you of the
fun had this morning with Mr.. Dog >
He was just telling Mr., Postum
about 1t when Mr.. Coon came into the
club, and this is what he heard:
ut was one Of the finest mornings
you ever saw for a chase began Mr..
Fox, $50 let Mr. Dog catch sight Of
me just as l was leaving the barn
yard. He came after me, of course
Il led him chase for while, and
then l wanted to go home so l hap
pened to think of smooth, steep hill /,
and 1 made for 1t. When l had Mr.
Dog running good and fast just
crouched close to the ground and
over me leaped Mr.. Dog going at such
rate of speed he could not stop.
"Niy, it was funny, and laughed
so hard l just rolled over and down
that hill"--
why did you roll into the muddy
pond IL you did it all on purposeT'
interrupted Mr.. Coon.
'Oh, you saw the funT asked Mr..
Fox with a very innocent expression
on his face. wasn't it the funniest
thing you ever saw or heard of"
Yes" replied Mr.. Coon, who
knew il was no use telling It as he saw
it, but the funniest thing to me Is
the way you tell It,"

THE RIGHT THING

RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
ABUSING HOSPITALITY

TT is the height Of bad manners to,
L try to drag business into your social
activities. But some young men real
ize this only after they find that they
have queered themselves with friends
and acquaintance by not having
learned this in time.
This does not mean that mans
friends and his social position may not
and do not very often stand him in
good stead when it comes to building
up business or profession. The young
lawyer, for instance, may SO impress
his friends and their friends whom ne
meets Mt their houses with his honesty
and shrewdness that when they hap
pen to need the services of lawyer
they naturally turn to him. Or more
often they become personally fond Of
him and turn any professional bust
ness his way that they can, simply
through desire to see him succeed.
SO often a doctor builds up a practice
through the influence Of friends and
acquaintances.
But IL would be quite another mat
ter for young lawyer when at the
house of a friend in any way to at
tempt TO gain the patronage of any
other of the guests.
One young man know, who is hav'
ing din uphill time gaining his pro-
fession..i education, was persuaded BY
the promoters of a stock-selling enter,
prise that he could sell enough stock
in the evening among his friends to
pay all his educational expenses. Con
WINGED of the merits of the various
sorts of stock thai this enterprise is
promoting, this young man never
misses chance when he is invited ia
the house of friend to sell stock
eftherto his host or to one Of the other
guests. He even tried to persuade
young woman with whom he had just
been dancing that II would be to her
advantage to invest some of her say.
ings in one of these ventures in which
he was interested.
Needless to say this young man is
not asked to so many houses as he
used to be and If he does not mend
his manners he will find himself really

once enjoyed an enviable popularity

ity of the situation. Well may be
asked, will the people awake in time ?
When threatened with despair | turn
to that great prophet, Hilaire Belloc,
who in his "Robespierre" sums up in
unforgetable language the supreme
lesson of the French Revolution and
of all popular movements for the re-
vindication of long-outraged justice:
"But for all the tortuous errors and
overgrowths of time, there is rem
edy, and that remedy is the blood In
us; the fields and rivers. The old
thing out of which we draw what
they used to call the Mother of the
Gods) is simple and resolves all things
backyard into simplicity. Therefore,
when once in thousand years accu-
INFLATED evil by some quick accident
arouses nature, all the State grows
young and is ready to combat--a new
religion leaps out like sword. Its
unity and simplicity are keen, like the
edges of sword. 1t cuts off the
bonds of men so that they wonder how
bonds were ever laid on them. In
these moments it is easy to rebuild a
world; and then time comes in again
to corrupt, and corruption awaits an
other resurrection"
Intrepid souls have ever drawn from
the very darkness that envelops them
their chief inspiration, for with such
it has ever been an accepted formula
of faith that it is always darkest just
before the dawn. In such troublous
times as these the wise words of Will
liam Goodwin ought to guide and in
spire US. In his Political Justice" he
says: ave must distinguish carefully
between instructing the people and ex-
citing them. Dearborn Independent.

Down in Arkansas, where they have
a model prison system, it is a custom
to grant vacations to prisoners who
are found worthy so that they may re-
turn to their homes in the early spring
and arrange for the work on their
farms. Floyd Alvey, who is serving a
life sentence for double murder, has
just been given a vacation of five
weeks to return to his home in Baxter
county, near the Howell county line
and break new ground to put in a
crop for his wife and little children
Alvey is serving time on the Tucker
prison farm and when he was released
he went to Little Rock to see Govern,
or McRae and obtained an additional
weeks vacation. When his time is up
he must return voluntarily to the
prison farm.-West Plains Gazette.

G. O. p. EFFORTS
TO MAINTAIN MORALE

We noticed this headline in last
weeks issue of Republican news
paper, Republican Victory Assured
This. Fall" This statement is being
made in frenzied effort to stop the
stampede which was started in the G.
o. P. herd. That same type of news
papers was telling the world ten days
ago that Kansas City was going Re
publican, but the Democrats carried
it by 10000. A politician knows that
when the courage of party is gone
defeat is inevitable. Often large
"phoney" bets are made to preserve
morale. The Republicans carried
Kansas City by 10000 majority sew
enteen months ago. but lost it last
Tuesday by 10000, making change
there of $4,000 votes in little over
one year. Everywhere that an cleo
ton has been held this year, the
Democrats have either won or great
ly reduced Republican majorities.
In the state of Maine, only short
time ago, Republican was reelected
to Congress by only 5000 majority
while two years ago his majority was
10000. The Republican tide reached
its food in 1920 and has been receding
ever since. The agents and dupes of
big business may fool majority Of
the people part of the time, and some
of the people all the time, but indi-
cations are they won't fool many peo-
pie next time. The Republican party
has ceased TO be the friend of the
great mass of the American people,
and there exists no reason for con-
tinuing its existence except to foster
the interests of the money sharks and
bloated landholders. The G. o. P. lis
