COLUMBIA, Mo-, Feb. 24.-The trou-
BILE at the Missouri State University
has assumed serious proportions. The
faculty, who have, since the disorder
on Feb. IA, been decidedly reticent,
made their first important move to-
day, and sprung a sensation. They
issued a notice stating in most en-
phatic terms that if all the students
who participated in the recent disturb
ance do not come forward before five
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon and sign
a pledge, promising good behavior,
they will be promptly dismissed from
the University. This means that if the
students refuse over 400 will be asked
to leave. 1t means an unconditional
surrender or, SO far as the students are
concerned, the almost complete dis

Where is Weaver?

~ -
The Hon. James B. Weaver, the
great Iowa apostle of miscellaneous
woe, who was the Populist candidate
for President in 1892, has been pooling
his mind with that of the immortal
Taubeneck, Chairman of the Populist
National Committee, and likewise a
man full of silver and wailing. Mr..
Weaver retains enough of his habituai
tide of voice to- remark that he ''wili
positively not be a candidate for any
thing this year. Rejecting, however,
upon the avalanche of pain which this
assertion would %infict, he Stacked the
rope of resolution a little and softened
into saying that if his friends put his
name forward that "would be another
matter" So the country Il breathe
again. If worse to worst, the
friends can be put forward to put for
ward the name. IL Sibley and Chubb
Gardenhive and Wooley Flatt of Ten
nessee decline, Weaver can still be
counted on.

Go Slow.
From the st. Charles tMo.l News,

From the st. Charles MOL News,
Better go a little slow, friend Dem
ocrats of Audrain district, or a Demo-
cratic Congressional nomination will
be made not worth fighting for.-Co-
lumbia Herald.
And the Central Committee of this
county made the same egregious
blunder Saturday that the Audrain
county committee made. Dollars to
doughnuts that il this policy is pur-
sued that the Democratic nominee for
Congress will not be elected.
The people of this district are tired
of schemes being worked to get NOM
nations, and the Democrat to carry
this district must conduct his cam
paign in an open way and not II
deavor to shut other candidates out,
without letting them go before the
people. IL this policy, inaugurated in
Audrain and St. Charles counties, is
carried u in the district and Mr..
Cook gets the nomination he will be
defeated by 1000 votes.
The Cook plans seem to- be TO get
the nomination by political scheming.
In years gone by theDemocrats OF this
district have seen enough Of this kind
of trickery and will hardly submit to
il again. The action of the commit
Lees OF the two counties in naming
such an early date to select delegates
was q mistake in that it shuts out
Smith and Clark. Is Mr.. Cook afraid
to come out In q fair deal and let the
people make their own selection?
Again, the Neirs calls attention to
the fact that a candidate for Congress
must not BIZ nominated until after the
National Convention meets and form
ulates the platform. Will the Demo-
Gratis allow themselves to be led in the
ditch again by Mr.. oooks For the
first time since reconstruction days
the Democratic party was wrecked IN
the stats Ia 1924, and this, too, when
Mr.. Cook wa in charge OF the State
camnairn. Democrats should think

THE st. Charles NeWs gives an ac-
count of the meeting of the Demo-
cratic Central Committee of that
county, which last Saturday fixed the
day of the meeting of the convention
to select delegates to the Congress
ional convention. Referring to this
matter the st. Charles Mems says:
Selecting delegates to the Congress
ional convention at such an early
date is generally considered as a move
in favor Of Mr.. Cook, of Audraiu, who
is an aspirant for the nomination from
this district. This action is a move to
practically shut out Hons. G.. Pittman
Smith and Champ Clark. A NeUs re-
porter interviewed several prominent
Democrats and the action OF the COM
mittee does not meet with hearty ap-
proval by any means. One gentle
man, who for years has been an active
worker in the party, stated that it was
an outrage to try in this manner to
shut out the candidates and that the
people should be trusted. Another
was strong in his condemnation of
what he calls political trickery and
said tina the time had come for the
nomination to be gotten in n fair way
and that all candidates should be given
fair play"

JEFFERSON CITY BRIDGE.
The Last Span Has Been Completed
The Structure viii Be Dedicated
Soon,

JEFFERSON, CITY Mo-, Feb. 24.-At
5 O'Clock this evening the last span of
the new steel bridge across the Mis-
souri, River at this city was completed.
The approaches are yet incomplete,
but a large force of men is at work
and in a short time the bridge will be
opened for traffic. With the excep-
ton of a few thousand dollars from
Galloway County, Jefferson City peo-
pie have paid for this bridge out of
their W pockets. 1t is entirely con-
structed of the bsst of steel. The
bridge is a beautiful structure, and it
is supposed that it will last for 100
years or longer. The structure will
be dedicated with much pomp at some
date in the near future. The Jeffer-
son City people are proud of their
bridge and point to it asa strong argu-
ment in favor of their enterprise, and,
incidentally, also that the capital
should not be removed. The cost of
the bridge will be s250,O00, and prac-
ticaily all of this sum has been paid,
and it belongs to the citizens.

A Warning.

From the st. Charles tMo.b News.
We regret to see Mr.. Cook and Mr..
Clark getting up a wrangie- The dis
trict can't stand anything of that sort.
1t is very unfortunate for the party.
The old methods of securing a nomi-
nation by manipulating the committees
is a dangerous one when a nomination
does not mean certain election. Mr..
Cook is following this method and
claims that he has Lincoln, Warren
and st. Charles safe in hand. 1t is no
excuse that Mr.. Clark did the same
thing in the past to beat Norton. Mr..
CLARK and Mr.. Cook don't own the
district and the first they know there
will be a very general disposition to
retire them both. Candidates who
are not willing to make a square, open
fight before the people on their mer-
its and at an appropriate time are not
the sort for the present emergency.

follows:

tives a bill to establish a Department
of Commerce., with a full-sized Sec
rotary of Commerce, an Assistant
Secretary OF Commerce, and an AS
sistant Attorney General for the De-
partment Of Commerce. No doubt
Commerce will languish in doleful
dumps until there is a department to
nurse it. "The bigger the Cabinet,
the bigger the prosperity" is a set
tied belief in many minds in Congress;
and if they had their way the Capitol
itself would be too small for q Cabinet
meeting. Commerce a wait a week

TRUDEAU's BAD FALL.
Hurrying or an Interurban Car He
Is Cut.

e. A. Trudeau, residing at 212 Mid
way avenue, was seriously injured by
falling from an Interurban Car at the
corner Of College avenue and Wabasha
street yesterday afternoon The in
jured man missed his footing in alight-
ing from the car and fell forcibly
against the curb, cutting an ugly cash
above his right. ear. It was not at first
supposed that Trudeau was hurt, but
as he made no effort to regain his feet,
the car was stopped and the conductor
and several men went to his assistance.
They found Trudeau insensible, while
blood flowed freely from the cut In his
head. An application of cold water
brought him back 20 consciousness, but
he appeared to have lost the use of his
lower limbs, as all effort to stand or
walk when he was picked up failed.
The man appeared to be in d dazed
condition, and though insisting thar he
was all right was carried to a neighbor-
ing house to, await the arrival of ply
stefan. Later he had sufficiently re-
covered to be taken to his home
Fred Flamlow, living at 33S Sher-
burne avenue, was with Trudean at the
time of the accident and stated thet his
friend had asked thu conductor to stop
the car at Tenth street This he said.
the conductor failed to do, and when
the gates opened at College avenue,
Tredeau made a hurried effort to aIight
before they again closed. In his haste
he slipped and fell headiong.
