I. S. HIPP, , M. B. HIPP, 9-25-4tc Executors. The neighbors spent a wonderful night, there awhile back in the green Verdugo hills. They were gathered together In the little gray house In the hollow that has the two big rocks '<ehind It and the lilac bush In front, .vrltes John Steven M(£rourty In the 1 Los Angeles Times. And the talk that came ap was •ib'jut four great saints who have left their everlasting footprints on the sands of time. The way the talk about saints came up was that the man who reads the papers was saying that he had read a piece which said that In the house of parliament in London four great windows had been installed, and that on each window was a fine picture of a saint. On one window a picture of St. George of England, on the second St. David of Wales, ou the third St. An drew of Scotland, and on the fourth 8t. Patrick of Ireland. Now, this mere statement of Itself, as you might say, was not of such a startling nature ad to make a night wonderful for the neighbors in the green Verdugo hills or for anybody else. But, what did make the night wonderful was that our neighbor, the man who knows about the saints, was given the floor. And he told all that there is to tell, or nearly as much, anyway, about the four saints in whose honor windows have been put In the British parliament house. And It was a grand story. The story of great men vtrho had labored and had spent their lives In the service of God, and of their fellowmen, which is the same thing. The torchbearers of the Wanderer of Galilee In the Isles of the Narrow Seas—that’s what they were —George and David, Patrick and Andrew. Kings there have been In the Islee of the Narrow Seas—many adthmany a king who wore Jeweled crowns on their heads, and who sat on golden thrones. Kings, and queens also, some of them good and some of them bad, and some neither one nor the other. And there have been warriors in the isles of the Nmpow Seas, and states men; money-cnnngers have been there, as they still are there; and this man and that have been there, each i having his little hour and his day. But it Is George of the Dragon, gen tle David of Wales, strong Andrew of Scotland, and noble Patrick of Ire land who are remembered most and who are most revered in the isles of Democratic Nominee Addresses Over Forty Thousand at Barbecue In Missouri. Eastwood Farm, Bunceton, Mo., Sept. J.6.—John W. Davis carried his fight for the presidency into the heart of agricultural Missouri today, at tending a gigantic barbecue at the farm home here of Dr. Arthur A. Nelson, Democratic candidate for governor of Missouri, and firing the opening gun of the campaign in this state. Mr. Davis told his thousands of hearers grouped in a natural amphi theatre in front of the Nelson home that this was. a “fighting campaign” Torchbearers of Him who was slain on the bloody Tree of Calvary. It is they who are remembered best. J. B. FRONTIS JEWELER CLINTON. S. C. Bricks of Molten Lava The problem of utilizing volcanic steam In industry has been well worked out by the Italian engineers, and if we ever tackle the Job in the Yellowstone park we shall enjoy the* benefit of the lessons they have learned. Apparently the conditions to be met are similar; but In the Yellow stone the available supply of steam is ^comparably greater, so that the “puffing holes” of the Tuscany seem relatively insignificant. Take for the liver Beware of imitation*. Demand the gemnnein 10c and 35c pack ages bearing above trade merit. and “we will make war.” The Democratic candidate had for an audience the greatest crowd ever gathered in rural Missouri and he re marked that it was probably the larg^- est assembly that ever met in the open to discuss governmental affairs. Joshua A. Barbee, Democratic state chairman, who was in charge of cele bration, estimated that between 40,- 000 and 50,000 persons were present. The vast crowd spread out over the expansive pastures surrounding the speakers to hear Mr. Davis and Dr. Nelson launch their Missouri cam paigns. 1 The voices of the speakers were carried distinctly to the edges of the' assemblage tjhrough loud speakers# feMr. Davis assailed “special privi leges” and “corruption in office,” de nouncing Albert B. Fall and Harry M. Daugherty, Charles Forbes, Ed win Denby and others formerly con nected with the Republican adminis tration. • “And now they tell us the old firm has been reorganized,” said Mr. Davis. He asserted, however, that the Re publican party was under the same management, had the same board of directors and had merely had a “new general manager” for the last year. He said he had read in some news papers that if had not been expect ed that a gentleman, such as the Democratic nominee, would mentipn such things as the oil and veterans’ bureau revelations “in polite society.” . “I believe,” he added, “that my party did not choose me as its candi date to give lessons in political eti quette. “If the situation had been revers ed,” he said, “and it could not be, I don’t believe any one would say that the Democratic party should not be held to account. You can’t wash out the record of a political party by some individual arising and say his conscience is free of any wrongdoing. You must hold a party to strict ac countability for things done.” The audience included thousands of farmers and the Democratic standard bearer smilingly admitted at the out set of his address that he was “not a farmer, not a dirt farmer, not even I a pictorial farmer.” Mr. Davis said the farmer did rot 1 ask for special privilege, but that they might stand equal before the law, commanding the respect and at tention in congress and the White House that had “too long been grant ed to other industries.” “The Republican party has never recognized farming as an industry,”! he declared amid applause. “It j wrings one’s heart to hear of strong field of government there hat been no qustiona interesting women in which men 'should not feel an equal concern and no questions appealing to men which should not arouse the equal interest of women. Our ideal is an exact and equal partnership, with all the men and women of the nation working side by side for the common welfare of themselves and their posterity. Th*re is, there can be neither diversity nor conflict in their interests and the nation needs now and always the strength given by their joint endeavors.” In conclusion, Mr. Davis said that once more he heard his fellow citi zens calling for the Democratic party to give them equal rights for all, common honesty, common courage, and a government that will function under leaders that will lead. A shower late in the afternoon just as the program was concluded, cast a shadow on what had been a per fect setting for the monster celebra tion. As the meeting broke up the visitors scurried for their motor cars and within a few minutes the roads leading from the farms were crowd ed with vehicles. Mr. Davis and party arrived at Eastwood farm soon after noon, com ing from Kansas City. At Syracuse, a small railroad station four miles from the farm of the Democratic standard bearer was met by Dr. Nel son and escorted to the scene of the barbecue, which was in progress at the time. Cheering throngs left the tables in the open to line the lane, leading from the farm gate to the house. appear from the press during the Christmas holidays.

And it stirs one’s impulse to search out relief for such conditions and to apply such remedies—if remedies j there be—as the power of the gov ernment may devise. “There have been just three things put forward by the candidates of the I Republican party; first, that the, farmer shall help himself, ‘physician, ] heal thyself, is their prescription.” I “What is the second remedy ? Why j the second remedy is that the farmer \ has been working too hard. He has [ been too industrious; in his enter-; prise he has brought too much land | into cultivation—he must cut down, i With hungry mouths all over the | world, the farmer must turn his corn ! fields into weed patches, empty his irrigation ditches, and sit down to en- j joy a life of luxurious ease and pleas ure until better times come again. “And what is the third remedy that emanates from this quester? ‘We must appoint a commission to inves tigate it.’ If there is in this au dience any farmer who feels that he has not been sufficiently investigat ed, if he will give me his name and address, I will see that the process is begun without delay. But the great j trouble in this particular instance is that the patient is going to die be fore the doctors finish their diagno sis.” Mr. Davis paid tribute to the mem ories of statesmen whom Missouri has contributed to the service of the na tion. In particular, he mentioned the late Champ Clark, referring to him “as one of the ablest debaters of his day, a constant and effective advo cate of Democratic doctrine, the pride of his followers, and the terror of foes.” The presidential candidate took oc casion to note that a bond of sympa thy exists between West Virginia and Missouri in that both states have nominated women for the office of secretary of state. Speaking of the place of women in government, he said: “We Democrats have long since ceased to think of women as play ing a different role or possessing dif ferent interests or aiming at differ ent eftd* in the political work from the men of the nation.
