The condition becomes effective January 1, 1915. Women “dry’’ workers took jan active part, using _buggies and motor cars to help get out the voters. Others armed with cameras, pencils and pads were stationed outside the polling places. S. Louis friends learned recently of the suicide of Ben Clark, native St. Louisan and ¢hief of scouts. for Gen. Custer when the latter campaigned against Indian tribes in 1869. Clark, grieving over the death of his Indian wife Mo-Ka, who died several weeks ago, killed himself Friday with army revolver at Ft. Reno, Okla. ‘Clark was one of the most picturesque fig- ures in the army. He was known to almost every army officer who serv- ed in the West in the beep wars. He was born in St. Louis in 1842 and returned frequently to visit. He was in the government service fifty-nine years.. He was present atthe cap- ture of Geronimo. t Eugenics and sterilization stand at the head of the list of preventives of insanity, which Dr. Will P. Bradley, superintendents of State Hospital for Insane at Nevada, admits is on the increase in Missouri. There are oth- er things, he says, that must be done before the problem is solved, but no line of work to lessen the ravages of insanity and mental weakness, he de- | clares, will ever accomplish much | without the strict application of eu- genics, segregation and sterilization. | Dr. Bradley’s letter came to Secre- | tary of-State Roach in response to! the publication of the result of the} latter’s research work in insanity and criminology, in which figures were given showing a startling increase in} this state during the last four or five decades. Dr. Bradley says he has} given no particular study to criminol- | ogy, but he believes insanity and crime are in many cases closely allied and has no doubt that the same gen- eral line of prevention -should be fol- | lowed. ss Glass milk bottles will disappear | from St. Louis, and germless, non- tamperable paper containers will be substituted, if a plan outlined by Food and Drug Commissioner F. H. Fricke meets with the approval of St. Louis milk dealers and producers. Frick returned several days ago from acon- vention of Food and Drug Commis- sioners of many States in Portland, Me., where the innovation was dis- cussed and approved. Mr. Fricke will confer with milkmen this week, and believes when he convinces them that the paper containers will be‘ no more expensive than the cost of wash-7 ing and returning milk bottles they will be inclined to favor the substi- tute. ‘‘I am very enthusiastic about the paper milk bottles,’’ he said. | “The paper is a little heavier than) that used for sanitary drinking cups. They are made in machines in all sizes. -They come folded, and when they are unfolded for use. they are immersed in paraffin, which renders them airtight. When the bottles are filled they are capped with a cover that fastens inside of the neck. If this cap is once removed it cannot .be re- placed.”” _ : M. E. Church, South. Sabbath School at 9:30. The past five months has made a very credit- who is reported wealthy, starved his wife, Ann Cunningham, to death.

Let every one en- In Reply to Silvers’ Attac! on Judge Dickinsola Congressman Dickinson is in Wash- ington without opportunity to per- isonally answer the reply. ol Thos. W. Silvers, published as vertisement in the Star-Journal, Dickinson is looking after the. in est of the people at Washington. the request of President Wilson, who wants to carry out his program. In his absence and without consultation with Mr. Dickinson I make. this ans- .wer to Mr. Silver’s reply. 3 I deal with the matter -on the basis of mutual friendship and esteem, for T. W. Silvers has been my friend for many years. He was kind and flat: tering enough to me, during the lat- ter part of Judge DeArmond’s term to come to Clinton and ask me if I would not run against DeArmond. 'He was for Mr. Dickinson when he was nominated at Butler and contin- ued to be for him until he became a candidate himself. Answering the matters in his re- are committed, nor should be 7 claims, Mr. Dickinson has‘ not intro- duced one tenth as many. as either Judge DeArmond: or Senator: Cock- rell. His record is like that of all the Missouri. Democratic congressmen, They have helped shape and pass the tariff law, the. currency act, the in- come tax law, the act for physical valuation of the railroads, repealing the Panama free tolls which was an indirect subsidy in favor of the ship- ping trust interests, direct ;ele¢tion of United States senators, and anti-trust law;/in short the best reform record in the interest of the plain people in .the history of the republic. Upon that record the President and Con- gress ask an endorsement. The only way you can “turn down’ Woodrow Wilson is to nominate Thos. W. Sil- vers. The only way Woodrow Wil- son can be endorsed by the. Demo- crats of this district is to vote for C. C. Dickinson next Tuesday. John A. Gilbreath of Clinton, the plying, it is not true that Mr. Dickin- son endorsed for postmaster a man at Harrisonville who had never voted the Democratic ticket until he voted for Woodrow Wilson. Harlie Clark, the postmaster at Harrisonville, com- menced voting for William J. Bryan atthe same time Woodrow Wilson did. He was endorsed by the chair- man of the Democratic County Com- mittee, who is a member of the Dem- ocratic State Committee, as well as by other leading Democrats and sub- stantial business men and _ patrons of the Harrisonville postoffice and by the greater weight of endorsements: over the other applicants. No peti- tion or application was made to Con- gressman Dickinson for a primary until he had acted on the letters and petitions, which was the method adopted by the candidates and the patrons of the Harrisonville postof- fice until Mr. Dickinson’s endorse- ment was secured. At Greenfield all the candidates withdrew in favor of Hon. Charles Newman, whom Mr. Dickinson en- dorsed,-and this includes the ‘‘one- armed man’’ who is a good man and who at once became the Democratic candidate for County Clerk and who will be nominated without opposition. At‘Osceola none of the applicants asked fora primary, rieither did the people generally. A petition for a primary with less than five per cent of the patrons was signed, but the other ninety-five per cent preferred that it it be settled on letters and pe- titions. Mr. Dickinson pursued at Osceola exactly the same method as Judge DeArmond did. At Everton the vacancy does not occur until next December. At the instance of the Silvers people a peti- tion was signed very recently asking for a primary on July 20th. Mr. Dickinson has. answered that petition in a way that is satisfactory to a rea- sonable man who doesn’t want the congressman to take his time and at- tention now needed and asked by the President and give it to a postoffice appointment to be made in Decem- ber. John S. Smith at El Dorado Springs and Frank Church at Stockton were endorsed by our congressman be- cause of the fact that they had by far the strongest endorsements of the patrons of their respective postoffi- ces. They as well asthe appointes at Harrisonville and Greenfield sup- ported him for nomination and election deavor to make August the best) month of the year. : Preaching morning dnd evening by the pastor.
