Litschert, who writes in the current issue of the National Reâ€" blic concerning the old loyalist. Benton, during his long ‘and honâ€" orable career in thé senate was the champion not onlyv of fndrew Jackâ€" son, but of the Union: Even when the secessionist ‘sentiment became dominant in his own party in Misâ€" souri Benton did not hesitate but went back home to fight the battle No money is being spent for imâ€" proper influence on the voters, as it :i:fln. t t of the Union. Fougcht Secession When he was finally defeated for the senate by a combination of Demoâ€" crats and Whigs, he ran for congress at a Union Democrat and, served, a term in the house, whére he fought the proponents of secession to the last. â€" Sneakihge of Senator Benton Mr. Litschert says: Typical of the new southwest, repâ€" resentative of that sturdy army of pioneers who filtered through the eastern mountains to found a great empire west of the Appalachians, is Thomas Hart Benton,. author, statesâ€" man and patriot of the highest courâ€" age, who honorably revnresented his adonted state ofâ€" Missouri in the United States senate for almost a generation, and who finally went dwn fightin@ for the Union which he loved so well. Last of Union Democrats Benton was the last of the great Union Democrats of the south of whom Andrew Jackson was the leadâ€" er, and his courage and his love for the flag were proved by his stern fight against disunion, a fight resentâ€" ed in the*closing days by the majorâ€" ity of his own party at home. The statesmen of the north who worked for the. nreservation of the Union were patriots, but theyShad their peoâ€" ple behind them. How much more heroic was the task then of the sturdy Missourian who did not falter in his support of the Union when he knew that his own people were hostile to him. Benton came into the senate with his state, and he did not relinquish his place in the political arena unFil a few years before the opening of the great tragedy of the sixties. His career was a long and honorable one, and while he may have made misâ€" takes he never swerved in his loyalty to his country. * . Continued from page one Bert Easton of Grand avenue was selected as "Miss Deerfield." Other beauty contestants were Marian Lanâ€" dau, Eva Cooksy, Irene Cashmore, Mona Desmond, Pearl Juhrend, Clarâ€" ice Juhrend, Rosetta Taylor, Marâ€" jory Garrity, Ruth Patterson.

Here Next Week ELKS TEAM DEFEATS | Imenwoon FOOTBALL HICGHWOOD, 6 to 3 TEAM IS ORGANIZED won their seventh straight game Sunâ€" day when they beat KI(;"'ood 6â€"8. Hesler ‘pitched a steady Aame and only had.one bad inning, the ninth, after he had a‘fiveâ€"run lead. Whitey Groth scored in the first inning for the Elks, when he singled advanced on an error and scored on Stallman‘s single. s In the fifth the Elks put the game on itée. Groth singled and Murray hit a long ball to right field that went for a homer. That hit seemed to knock Highwoed out of commission because Rudoiph and Baxter made two errors in a row and Stallman and Kirby were safe on every out. Rudolph and Boch made sacrifice hits advancing the runners and then Hesâ€" ler hit one that scored Stallman and Kirby. Geo. Glader ended the rally by flying out, to the shortstop. In the lucky seventh Highwood scored one run on two outs and a walk. Poor base running cost the Elks runs in the eighth. Rudoiph, who home but was caught by a step. went in to pitch after Jones retired in the fifth, was wild and walked three men. Geo. Glader tried to steal Monty Rudoiph hit a scratch single that scored Groth with the last run the Elks made. & Highwood had a rally in the ninth: that nearly spelled trouble for the Elks. Sensational catches by Rudolph, and Geo. Glader saved runs. Bill Schroeder struck out with the bases full after they had made two runs on 4 hits. The game was interesting to watch and the fans that were there enjoyed it. However, more people will have to come down to Sunset â€" Park to watch the games. The team that Manager Greenslade has collected has not lost a game since they reorganâ€" ized in July.‘ It is a record to be proud of. Next week they play Glenâ€" view here. It is hoped that a larger crowd will witness this game than was there last week. Score by innings: Statistics say that one in every six persons in America owns an automoâ€" bile.
