Mateom Times-Democrat NUMBER 47. MACON, MISSOURI, THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1V12. AN INDUSTRIAL EXPERT Dynamite, a battery of artillery, three companies of the national guard and a large part of the Paris police force were used Sunday to capture Bonnott, the leader of a terrorizing gang of motor car bandits, and Dubois, notorious anarchist. The bandits were shot to death at a garage at Choisy-La-Roi, six miles south of Paris, while ten thousand persons watched the battle. After the bandit had kept the police and soldiers at bay for hours, the garage in which the fugitives had taken refuge was blown up with dynamite.

to ocean is due more to last year's poor crops than to any other one thing and hence, not merely the farmer but the merchant, the banker, the wage earner everybody In fact Is laying awake these nights hoping that the crops which are now being planted-will yield bountiful harvests next fall. Should this universal prayer come true, all will Be well. On the other h-wu, should we have another tailure on top of the one of last year we are going to find ourselves face to face with one of the most critical business that lias ever confronted the country.

Are you a friend of Champ Clark? Do you Want to help him? Do you favor his nomination? Would you not like to see Democracy triumph, and an esteemed Missourian in tbo white house? The Clark management is without funds. It has no slush fund to draw upon, no great financial interests behind It to promote his candidacy, and to push the light aggressively and successfully, the St. Louis Republic Is appealing to the masses for contributions. the people are responding. Each day contributions are being sent In and acknowledged in Its columns.

The rnoncys received are being turned over to Ex-Gov. Lon Stephens, treasurer, who disburses them under directions of the Clark management. Let every Democrat in this county show The Republic, his appreciation and his interest in Speaker Clark's candidacy by forwarding The Republic a contribution.

He is telling the truth about Theodore Roosevelt. When the president of the United mates wains the American people that they "are In danger of a dictator who, onco he received a third term, would cling like a leech to the white house und never leave it until death removed him," lie is performing service of true patriotism.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is in no danger of falling. For over eight lundred years it has been inclined to one side, but it is said to be as safe today as when it was built.

John Scovern, president cf the State Exchange Bank of Macon, who was a 'ad in the service of the Mississippi river steamer Glasgow during the Civil war, has a copy of the wallpaper edition of the Vicksburg Daily Citizen, the edition printed directly alter the surrender.

The Glasgow was a transport in the federal ser- boys ran down to the landing shouting out the fact that they had for sale the last wall-paper edition of the Vicksburg Daily Citizen. The youngsters were keenly alive to the circumstance that such a paper would be valuable as a souvenir, and they purchased generously. Mr. Scovern was among those who invested in the historical publication, and has his copy in a -frame. That was in the early part of July, 1864, directly after the most complete triumph i the Union arms in the nation.

Pickett's brigade had been stopped by Meade's seasoned fighters at Gettysburg the same day that Vicksburg fell, but that cows was not known in the Mississippi town at the time. Up until the last Dally Citizen breated defiance to the enemy, and talked hopefully of the succor that never arrived. The siege began at the close of nnd ended In the July following. Af the final assault General Grant had a force of nearly 70,000 men, and was aided by Porter's fleet, which had kept the city under a continual bombardment for 40 days. The Inhabitants had to take shelter in caves and dugouts.

In the Confederate garrison were less than 15,000 effective men. When an assault was expected picked men were selected to defend the works. Each man was provided with five loaded muskets, and men were stationed Just in the rear of the firing line to reload the muskets a -fast as they time after time the assaults were repulsed with great loss to the assailants, but finally the net was drawn so close there was no escape. Worn out with the eternal fighting, deafened by the ceaseless bombardment from the gunboats and well nigh starved, Pemberton at last gave orders to run up the white flag, and Grant took possession of the citj July 4, 1863, The editor of the Dally Citizen, J.M. Swords, was an optimist.

Surrounded by shot and shell, he saw beyond only the blue sky and a triumphant confederacy. He seeks to inspire the garrison by the war news from the East: "Again we have reliable news from the gallant corps of General Lee In Virginia. Elated with success, encouraged by a-series of brilliant victories, marching to and crossing the Kappahannock, defeating Hooker's right wing and thence through the Shenandoah Valley, driving Milroy from Winchester and capturing sis thousand of his men and a large mnonnt of valuable stores of all de- IUIU uet: lucu nic Biniub ing up from moor and brake, crag ani dale, with flashing steel and sturdy arm, ready to do or die in the great cause of national independence, right and honor.

The following paragraph would in dicate that some of the inhabitant were trying to turn an unpatriotic penny by taking advantage of the distress in the beleaguered city. "If aught would appeal to the heart of stone of the extortioner with success, the present necessities of our citizens would do so.

It Is needless to attempt to disguise from the enemy or our own people that our wants are great, but still we can conscientiously assert our belief that there is plenty within our lines, by the exercise of prudence, to last until long after succor reaches us. We are satisfied there are numerous persons within our city who have bread stuff secreted, and are doling it out at the most exhorbitant figures, to those who had not the foresight or means at their command to provide for the ex igency now upon us.

I found that reports were passing from r.en to bosses, from bosses to department foremen, from foreman to the assistant superintendent to the general superintendent and from general superintendent to the manager, and that the reports bo made were unverified other than by the respective statements of every man through whose hands they passed. For Instance, the foreman's excuse for not turning out the standard amount of a certain article in a specified time was accepted by his superior without any attempt to ascertain whether the excuse was a valid one or not. The system wiu in ogue because the manager himself had first let down the bars by accepting the reports of the superintendent, without debate or attempt at verification.

He I must take all this as a natural con-I sequence of the service for which he lis paid, and quietly demonstrate to ithe men at the top that his report hns a foundation of granite, and will stand like the Rock of Ages." The agricultural expert was discussed by William Hirth of1 Columbia, during his recent visit to Macon. Mr. Hirth is publisher of The Missouri Fanner and president of the Fcderi-tion of Missouri Commercial Clubs.

The agricultural expert Is his idei, and he is hopeful to see it prove one of the elements that Is destin.vt to bring Missouri up to its true measure of Importance and prosperity. Mr. Hirth said: "The present unsatisfactory condition of business throughout the country shows that, after all, the prosperity of the American people Is founded upon the prosperity of the American farmer.
