of this city, said today, concerning
the prohibition proposals now in
the Missouri Legislature
"Can anyone suggest a reason
why the voters Of Missouri should
not have the privilege of voting
on this question: Is the electorate
of Missouri competent or incom.
petent to decide by ballot i'm.
portant State issues7
An organization already cx-
lists by which a sufficient petition
can be sent to the Secretary Of
State within ninety days calling
for Statewide submission through
the use of the initiative.
"The antiliquor forces are not
exasperated. And, again, they are
not anything like so much divided
as some like to assert. These forces
are simply asking for the exercise
at an early date Of an inalienable
right.
"The sovereign people of Mis-
souri,, who are competent to elect
Governors and legislatures and
who will elect future Governors
and legislatures, have a right to
vote on the question of State wide
prohibition--and this absolutely
independent Of the merits Of the
question"

Gov. Hadley is making a fine
State executive. So far we find
but few faults in him. He is OPP
posed to State wide prohibition.
OF course he has the liberty to
think along that line as he'pleases.
He also seems to be opposed to the
people voting ON the question.
There is where is he is wrong. He
cannot justly deny the people the
inherent right of petition; that
right is granted them by the con.
stitution. Even a serf has the
privilege to petition the king.

FEARS UNCLE SAM
HONDURAS EXCITED OVER RE-
 PORTS OF PROTECTORATE.
Financing of Debt, Through New York Bankers Gives Rise to Rumors
 That Cause Some Unrest,

Puerto Cortez. Spanish Honduras, Sept. 8. via New Orleans Sept. s. Much interest and no little excitement has been created in Honduras by a rumor that the United States was pre- pairing to establish a protectorate over this republic.
 The rumor appears to have had it's basis in the appointment of represen- tatives from this government to ar- range for a refinancing of the foreign debt of Honduras with bankers of New York.
 President DaviIa has named Juan E. Parades and Pauline Vaaladares as emissarles of the government in com nection with the proposed loan. The former Is vested with the title of min ister plenipotentiary and envoy ex- traordinary on special mission to the American government.
 La Prensa. of which the private sec- retary of President Davila Is the di- rector and which Is considered as voic- ing the expressions of the administra- ton says:
 Persons with bad intentions or bad information say that the United States purposes to exercise professionals in Honduras. Now and forever we de. clare there Is no such proposal on the part of the government at Washing ton, which would be offended by thos@ who make such statementa. Neither the government of Honduras or the Commissioners appointed contemplate any such thing. They reject 1t even as a rumor for discussion, It Is une- auivocally repudiated."
 The foreign debt of Honduras amounts to 452,000 pounds. which, pay able within forty years at interest stipulated. would amount to I,639,OO0 pounds. It Is asserted that the prop osition of the New York bankers to take up this indebtedness has met with r." sull agreement of the London bond holders.
