The Presidents Message.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-Thc
president personally delivered his
message to a joint session of the
house and senate today. Only
two matters, the ship subsidy and
agricultural aid, were touched
on in the message.
He told congress that the an
nual loss in the operation of the
shipping board fleet was $50,O0O,-
600 and that the passage of the
ship subsidy bill would stop that
loss besides benefitting every
section Of the country because OF
better ocean shipping facilities.
He objected to the term sub
sidy' and said that the aid to
ocean shipping was no more a
subsidy" than was the voting
of the $75,OO0,0O0 for the aid Of
roads.
He called attention to the fact
that the farmer was the chief suf-
ferer from the readjustmet fol
lowing the war and urged con
grcsS to pass laws extending the
Federal credits system.

ALLIES ASK AN APOLOGY
Recent Acts of Aggression in
Germany Brings Note.

Paris, Nov. l7.-The allied
powers through the council Of
ambassadors have informed Ger
many that all questions concern
ing the withdrawal of the mill
tary control commission in Ger
many have been suspended un-
til the German government gives
the fullest satisfaction for what
are termed flagrant violations of
the military clauses of the treaty
Of Versailles, committed in the
last six months, and shows will
lingness to abide by the commits
sion's instructions.
The note of tn, allies was sent
after the receipt Of German
communication on the subject
which was termed "insolent to a
degree. In this communica-
ton, Germany is said to have dis
regarded totally the long series of
notes of complaint sent by the
allies and to- have declared she
was glad to learn the allies were
about to end their military con-
troll and permit Germany to re-
vert back to normal.
The note also ignored formal
allied representation to the Ber
lin government Of September %,
consequent ON the large number
of acts of aggression against the
allied military in the work of in
spection.
The allied note OF today de-
an apology and repara-
tons for recently incidents at
Passau and Stcttin.

will be at least eleven Democrats
from Missouri in Congress, and
the next General Assembly will
also be Democratic. The House
will be overwhelmingly so. The
only reason there won't be more
Democrats in the State Senate is
because there were no more to
elect last Tuesday. The people
tired of Hyde and all his works.
He seemed to have an unquench-
able hatred for Democrats. HUI
man psychology is to him an in
accessible realm. His great sin
was and is in having accepted an
office entirely beyond his ca
pacity.
In Missouri the record of high
taxes and extravagances Of the
Hyde administration was one OF
the prime factors in bringing
about the result. Voters are dis
gusted with the inequalities or
assessment and cost of running
state affairs and the fact that
petty politics has been permitted
to enter into the management OF
state affairs from every angle.
Democrats who have been
elected on the platform pledging
economy in government must
keep the pledge and not permit
the flush Of victory to blind them
to the duty imposed upon them.
If the campaign pledges are not
kept the next election may bring
about another change in the po~
litical complexion of the govern
H4eHt- t-We must t-keep- the pledges
made during the campaign and
we are certain they will be kept
because the character of the men
elected is such that they can be
upon to keep their
words. Missouri State Journal.

is on Dave s land instead of Rogers
This makes him an acceptable lover
and all ends happily.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, If you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

Lafayette's
Last Visit
to America

Lafayette's last visit to this country
was in 1T24-25. When the time which
he had allotted for his tour had eX-
piIed, after he had visited every one
of the "a states Of the Union, Lafay-
cite repaired to Washington to pay his
parting respects to the chief magis-
trate of the nation, John Quincy
Adams. This took place at the Presi-
Dental mansion September 6, 1925
9S years ago, and on the siXty-eighth
anniversary of Lafayette's birth.
The farewell address of President
Adams in behalf of the whole Ameri-
can people was most affecting trib-
ute to the lofty character and pa
triotic services of Lafayette during his
long and eventful career, and closed
with the following words:
you are ours by that mistaken sen
timent of gratitude for your serv-
ices which is a precious portion of our
