An election to decide the fate of
saloons will be held In Pleasant Hill
March s. The town has a population
of 1860. There are three saloons
there and they pay a city license Of
$3.50 each year. When Cass county
voted in November, 1907, Pleasant
Hill was compelled to vote with the
county, the county court when or
dering the election refusing to CON
slider the 1907 census of Pleasant
Hill, being guided by the census of
1900, which gave the place n popula-
ton of 1902. The validity of the
election, which was "dry" victory,
save in Pleasant Hill, was contested
and the Kansas City Court of Appeals
decided that Pleasant Hill should
have recorded separate vote.

There is an old saying that "If
March comes in like lion IL will go
out like lamb" and vice versa.
Well, March didn't exactly come in
like lion; there were no March
winds accompanying its advent last
Tuesday, but the first day OF the
month was not a pleasant one by
any means; it was cloudy, raw and
disagreeable. We have had such a
stretch of winter, almost continuous
cold since the first of December, that
everybody would like to see an early
spring, land many hope that the long
winter augurs an early season.

One little matter that will OBJ
trude itself through all the wilder.
ness of words and Juggling of fig
ures by Governor Hadley i'll trying
to make an issue out Of last
years birds nest-the senatorial
primary vote-is the undisputed
and indisputable fact that Govor-
nor Hadley charged mp the board
of his servants to the State and
had the amount paid out of the
peoples money. No other Cover
nor has ever practiced that graft !
but then Governor Hadley is the
first Republican Governor that
Missouri has had for many years,
and of course the people are ex-
pected to pay a little extra for the
keeping Of this rara avis.

ONE DOLLAR FOR A MILLION

The CLAWS charges have been
proven by unimpeachable authority
and show that one of the greatest
robhcries of the common people-of
the taXpayers-was contemplated
and is yet on the tapis. The general
manager Of the Guggenhcim-M Nor
gan syndicate, and the general coun-
sci, have publicly admitted that the
syndicate had an option on the
Alaska coal lands claimed by the
Cunningham syndicate. They nd
nit that what CLAWS charged Is
true-that this great capitalistic
combination was the power behind
the Cunningham claims. They nd
nit that the syndicate was to pay
S2j0,0OO for coal properties which
promised n profit which they esti-
mate at % million dollars on the
coal in sight.
These were the claims that Balm
ger tried to rush through and that
CLAWS resisted until finally obstre-
porous insistence cost him his posi-
ton In the government service.
The syndicate was to obtain one
cent for each dollars worth of coal!
1t will take a great deal of dis
crediting Glavisn to overcome the
effect of this admission, made by the
syndicate itself. st. Joseph OBJ

AT HIS OLD HOME.

Atty. w. l.. Hensley OF Pennington,
formerly of Greenvjile, is visiting
today with his many old friends and
aquaintances here. He has decided
to enter the race for the Democratic
congressional nomination and is re-
ceiving promises OF hearty support
throughout the entire district. In
Wayne county he will be exception
ally strong, as his large following of
personal friends here regard him as
n local product and are proud to have
an opportunity to make a substantial
showing of the warm feeling of
friendship and admiration they bear
toward him. Since leaving Green
willie Mr.. Hensley has served two
terms as prosecuting attorney Of
st. Francois county, and is regarded
as one of the strongest, II not the
strongest Democrat in that county.
Although comparatively young in
years, he has made his mark in the
legal profession and ranks with the
best of the legal fraternity In the en-
tire state. He has always been ac-
tive in politics, strenuously fighting
the battles of his party, and has
asked for but little reward for his
services. If nominated he will be a
tower of strength to his party's
ticket.-Wayne County Journal

DIRECT VOTE
 IS FAVORED Sub Committee Reports Favorably on Direct Vote
 For Senators.
BRISTOW IS HAPPY
His Resolution to Be Reported Back to Full Committee and Sub-
 mitted to Senate.
international News Special

Washington, D. G., Dec. 12.-Imme- dlately following the holidays tho Senate of the United States will be brought face to face with the prop os.tlon to amend the constitution to provide for election of senators by direct vote of the people. This proposition will come before the Senate for the first time with a fav- orable report from the Committee on Judiciary. A sub committee, to which the proposed amendment was referred, agreed to report favorably to the full committee, and at the last meeting at which this matter was considered the committee, by common consent, agreed to act in harmony with the report of it's sub committee.
 On the sixteenth of last December, almost year ago to the day, Sena- tor Bristow offered the joint resolu- tion that HOW ts pending before the Senate committee.
 This resolution, or one worded along the same general lines, which has been the football of the Senate committee, is at last to be tossed ov- CT the Senate goal for touchdown. Aroused by the sentiment of the country on this vital Question that has found that emphatic expression recently in many of the states, many conservative judiciary committees found it convenient to give this res- olution serious consideration.
 It was referred to Senators Borah and Dillingham;, Republicans and Raynor, Democrat for inves- tigation and report. That committee has spent much time con- sidering the wording of the resolu- tion. 1t walsI together again today. The action was not taken formally, but conclusions were agreed upon. Senator Raynor and Senator Borah insisted upon favorable report and Dillingham; favored an adverse re port to the full committee.
 Senator Depew has pending an amendment, which the sub commit tee decided to reject. This amend ftent provides that the "qualifica- tions of citizens tp vote for United States senators eng representatives in congress shall A uniform in the states and Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by ap- propriate legislation, and to provide
