Sow more wheat; sow more rye: sow more clover. War always increases the price of foodstuffs for man and beast. The day of campaigns of personal abuse and viMificatioii are growing unpopular and should end. A clean campaign only should be waged. Wooodrov Wilson and William Jen ,. nines Bryan are at the helm and they are guiding us in paths of peace. Let every farmer work hard now and put in more crops and plow the land better and take advantage of the increased prices which are certain to remain high next veai . The peon'o hnv in this wiser day agreed that political issues can be climissc-d without tnuvirir a man's character to pieces, impiignin.tr his honesty or invading his private life. Foodstuffs of all kinds for both man and beast are high. This yh.h en courage evpry farmer to plant more than ever before.

It does not require a great amount of courage to lambast viiir opimivM'.t or your enemy in hi:; abreiv. e and the demand for clean campaigns prnv;. in favor. Hitter personal attacks no longer meet with favor. The present war, the greatest in all history, with more soldiers on the battlefield than ever at one time in history and they must be fed and the horses for cayalry and infantry must be supplied with food, and it behooves farmers to raise more grain than heretofore. A movement has been started to induce all American women to buy homemade cotton goods, and this week has been set apart as the week in which all merchants are to display their cotton goods and every Ameri can girl and woman is urged to pur chase at least one dollar's worth of cotton goods. Women are urged to wear cotton petticoats, skirts, waists, stockings, etc. If the American peo ple will- wear more cotton goods as re quested it would better prices for cot ton and better conditions for every-; body. With an increase since August 1 in the price of the oat crop in the Uni ted States of more than seventy-five million dollars, there is need of in creasing the oats crop as a contribu tion to the world's supply of necessa- vy' food tor stock and as a moans of profiting by the unusual rise in the price of suplies. The production of a large crop of oats will enable them to be used as a substitute for corn, and with corn selling at more than a dol lar a bushel more of it can be sold if the oat crop is large. Not only do we want to sow more oats, but also more wheat, clover, vetch and rye. Everything now points to an unpre cedented success of the Democratic party in the county election. Demo cratic voters should turn out. Let every cue constitute himself a com mittee of one to see that the Dem ocratic majority breaks all records. Not only vote yourself but see to it as far as you possibly can that all other Democrats are induced to vote this year. THE NATIONAL ISSUE OF DEM OCRACY IN THE DEMOCRATIC TEXT HOOK. The name given the National Hand Hook this Democratic year is the Democratic Text Book. It is a compilation of the aggress ive measures of the Democratic party in the naiion. There is no apology or excuse offered, but every act is point ed to with confidence. The challenge is thrown down to the Republican pa-'ty. The policy and acts of the Democ: aiic party are clearly outlined and the party is asked to de clare to the people, if returned to power, what would be its program as to the acts of the present Democratic administration. The litty-two feats of the present Congress enacted to date are clearly set forth. And here are the questions pro pounded in the hand book and are di rected to the Republican party: Would you establish the old part nership between corrupt politics and coriT.pt business? Which laws enacted by the Demo crats would you repeal ? would you repeal the income tax. Would you take a backward step on the I'ayne-Aldrich-Smoot tariii'? Would you repeal the Federal Re serve Act, for which so many of your Senators and Representatives voted? Would you ii.-tore the panic-breeding ( uri enev lav, s that made possible the great industrial and financial dis- ter of 1H17? Would ou repeal the Lever agri cultural extension bill against which not a Republican voted in either House i,r Senate ? Would you put down again the pipe lines, which Woodrow Wilson has tak en up, connecting the special interests witn the ?eat ot government . Would you summon ?du!hall anil his fellow-lobbyi.-ts back to the halls of Congress ? Would you repeal the federal trade commission act, against whicn not Republican voted in the House of Representatives ? Would you repeal the Clayton anti trust act, which supplements and strengthens the bherman law, and for which forty-one Republican Represen tatives anil six Republican Senators, voted? Would you repeal the Democratic labor laws, for which so many of your Representatives in Congress voted? Would you repeal' the Alaska rail road act and once more endeavor to deliver Alaska to the Gupgenheims ? Would yop return to your old policy of throttling the farmer by failing to lend nio.icy to banks at nop moving time. W, i;,!d j'i.i i i ef urn to CarmonisM in .he Heu.-'e or' Representatives?

It is a wonderful record the Demo cratic paity has made. No wonder the Republican party has for the first time in a quarter of a century failed to get out a national campaign handbook. Not one of them can stand up before the Democratic argument. These questions not one of them will attempt to answer. . Russia has issued an order that the prohibition of the sale of vodka shall be continued indefinitely after the war. This order is based on the tre mendously improved conditions of the country since the emperor issued the edict prohibiting traffic in this liquor. Travelers from Southern Russia say there is such a change in that region that the country is hardly recogniza ble. Peasants who before the war had fallen'into hopeless indolence and de pravity have already emerged into self-respecting citizens. Huts which formerly were delapidaled and allow ed to go without repairs are now kept in first class condition. The towns have become more or derly and the peasants indulge in wholesome amusements. There peo ple save 55 per cent of their earnings which formerly were spent for drink, and they have increased their earning capacity through sobriety. This startling regeneration of the NEW PARTY CANDIDATES SOME INSINUATIONS" RECENTLY M A D E HAVE BEE N R E FUTED IJY VOTER SCHOOL WORK UNDER TWO ADMINIS TRATION S CONTRA STEP. One of the Rull-Hjose-Progressive- Republican speakers we recently heard of has attacked the public school system.and more especially the public school teachers of today. The Repub lican party did practically nothing to idvance the cause of education in Randolph county when they were in power, r.acn year since me demo crats have been in power more money has been put into the school work and every yearo a number of log huts have been replaced with mojlern school buildings constructed by the latest and most scientific plans with the inten tion of looking after not only the edu cation of the child with pleasant en vironment, but also paying especial ittcntion to the health. 1: is alright for these politicians to refer to the hool record in Randolph county, the Democrats feel proud of the record they have made and promise greater things for the future, while the last Republican administration in Ran- olph county along every line has ecu looked upon with shame and dis gust not only by those of the party, but many Republicans themselves. Yes. it is alright for you, Mr. Speak er, to attack the school system in Ran- lolph county, but we would advise you to refrain from further unkind remarks about the young women who are engaged in teaching in the pub lic schools of Randolph county. They are a band of bright, Christian young- women who are laboring lor a cause they love, and are doing a great deal for the advancement of Christian ed ucation throughout the county. They deserve the support and encourage ment of every public spirited man re gardless of politics, and not the un called for, satirical, harsh epithets recently applied by one of the Bull Moosers. Sayings of the "New Party" The "New Party" candidates are now engaged in making night stands throughout the county at which time they are seeking to prejudice the peo ple against the present administra tion. One of the most noted speakers on the Republican-Progressive ticket this year proclaims there is something radically wrong with our government because Woodrow Wilson has called various business men from all parts of the country to Washington to con fer with him. This is singular, we do not deny, because our recent Republican Presi dents did not see fit to call business men from all parts of the country to confer with them regarding important matters relating to the govemmnt. From the beginning of Mr. Wilson's campaign there there has been a vast difference between his methods and that of those who have so recently held the great position which he now holds. Mr. Wilson was elected by the people, small contributions from all parts of the United States defrayed his campaign expenses, while here tofore the great corporations have poured thousands of dollars into the campaign fund of others who have been i letted President. Heretofore when there have been hard financial situations to handle the President has gone to Wa.ll Street fr counsel and advice, while ivnv the Wail Street business men an.l other business men from all parts of the country ccme to Wa.-liington to Mr. Wilson for coun sel and advice. .Reactions dating back to Mr. Taft's Reciprocity failure with Canada, and natural conditions with which every reader of present day periodicals is informed have caused the m,.st trying problems that have ever faced any President of our coun try, and Mr. Wilson, that calm, cool, collected man of thought and wisdom has proven himself equal to the oc casion, and with the magnificient sup port of a Democratic Congress and Senate he has wonderfully preserved the peace and financial status of this country. There were no such natural conditions for financial unrest in 1907, yet the whole country was thrown in to a panic. Had the present admin istration been the same we can only shut our eyes in horror at the condi-, tion this country might now be in. The whole world has turned its eyes toward Washington and is watching with delight and admiration the great est law making body in the world, and the greatest of Presidents, cur chieftian, Woodrow Wilson. VOTER. peasantry, in the opinion of the Rus sian authorities, is likely to have an important effect on social and econom ic conditions of all Russia. A change in the large cities also is noticeable. Liquor is still sold in first class cafes, but these are practically empty. The Nevsky Prospect, once famous for its gay midnight life, is now quiet, with out a sign of revelry. EXAMPLE OF THE V. S. A. MODEL FOB CIVILIZATION Remarkable Tribute From Great Lon don Paper to the Woodrow Wilson Brand of Diplomacy Our Foreign Ambassadors Hae Measured Up to Their Great Positions Win For eign Aproval. A Wise Foreign Policy. Washington, D. C, October 7. The American brand of diplomacy under the administration of Woodrow Wilson has won the admiration of the world and has placed America in the fore front of civilized nations. At home and abroad tardy recognition is being given the administration's wise ior eign policy along with deserved com mendation of the activities of our rep resentatives who are so ably looking alter the interests of the civilized world in foreign lands where war is rainnir. Here are a few expressions, editorial anil otherwise: War-Mjhing in the UarK Askir.c the ciuestion, "Can Europe ever again tolerate the appalling peril secret diplomacy : ' tne conclusion of the London Daily News is that 'the' example of United States must here after become tne model oi me civil ized world." It is early in the present struggle to begin balancing the books, but one .- .ich expression as this gives us an ac curate forecast of some of the ac counts that are going to be settled, not by kaisers and kings, but by the people, when peace shall have been restored. Monarchy has always sneered at American diplomacy as of the shirt sleeve variety. Because it was open, direct' and honest, it was pronounced uncouth. Because it refused to en gage in intrigue, it was held to be de ficient in skill. Because it kept faith, it was pitvingly regarded as malad roit. But the worst of its offenses has always been publicity. The war now raging in Europe is the direct result of royalty's secret diplomacy. For a generation past the great armaments there have been falsely represented as making for peace, when we all know now that thev were making for war. Every thing relating to supreme governmen ta' policies has been secret except the existence of the colossal war ma chines and the crushing taxes that have sustained them. In this wav the censorships of peace have been almost as drastic as the censorships of war. A handful of men in each country knew what was miing on. Hndreds of millions who ate now arrayed against each other ni battles as secret as the diplomacy th.it led to them had no more knowl edge ot the true situation than tneir relatives at home have now whether fathers, sons and brothers at the fiont are alive or dead. To praise the Ainerican idea of dip lomacy is to exalt democracy. 1 he New York World (lnd.) COM M I SSION ERS' M EETI NT.

The adoption of laws or ardi nances requiring the installation of automatic sprinkler systems as fire extinguishing agents in all factories, commercial establishments and city blocks. The adoption of ordinances requiring the construction of fire di vision walls, not only as a property protecting device, but as providing the beslfclife-saving exit facility. (3.) The establishment by law of a fire marshal in every state, who shall be a trained man, with statisti cian, educator and prosecutor. (4.) The investigation of the cause of all fires by public officials. (5.)
