even the most conservative OF stat
isticians, yet nothing better would
have been expected il the inhabi-
tants Of the State had only realized
how large the army OF Missourians
is who allowed themselves to be en-
ticed to other States and to Canada,
in pursuit Of the pots Of gold which,
mythicaily, exist ut the ends OF Il
rainbow. II is very plain now that
this vast horde of absent and home
coming pilgrams amounts to fully
SOC, 900, men, women and children.
Probably four-fifths of these weary
wanderers, now that they know that
their Eldorado is in good old Mis-
souri,, want to come back, but have
not enough means to do 1t with. Be
fore they left this State they were
prosperous, stanch and steady, but
the natural American desire OF
wanting more and better and the
uncomfortable ambition of conquer
ing new worlds, caused them to for
sake their good old farms and invest
their money in land not nearly as
fruitful, and worst of nil, thousand
OF miles away from any large con-
Stunning city.
"In these far away places what is
raised, between crop failures, has to
be sacrificed to get rid of 1t, because
of the long freight hauls, the utter
lack of competing buyers and large
demanding communities. The spell
which h0vers over the possibilities
OF irrigated lands also quickly passes
away with the first yield of wheat.
1t looks well-in the newspapers-to
read that wheat is Sl.l0 In st. Louis
and SLIP In Chicago, but those cities
are from 1000 to 1000 miles away
About the time the first harvest IL
over the irrigation company sent Its
representatives to collect for the

1.-THE homecoming was sug-

FOR TWO MORE BATTLESHIPS.
Their Construction Authorized
By the House.

Washington. D. C. Especially -
By decisive vote of 1862 to 10. IA
being present and not voting, the
two battleships 10 cost S6,000,000
each. Thirty-three Democrats voted
for two battleships and "a Repub-
licans against the proposition.
This action was taken just prev
ious to the passage OF the Naval APP
preparation Bill, carrying about
S12S, ,O37,602. This amount is about
$3,OOO,000 less than was recommend
ed by the Navy Department. In addi-
tion to the battleships the bill also
provides for the construction of two
heet colliers and four submarine
boats.
AS amended on motion OF NJ.
Fitzgerald. of New York, the two
battleships and two fleet colliers
must be constructed by firms opera
ting under the eight hour law.
The committee on Naval Affairs
had reported in favor of authorizing
two battleships. Mr.. Tawney, OF
Minnesota, chairman of the Approp-
riations Committee, offered an
amendment providing for only one
battleship. while Mr.. Hobson propos-
ed an amendment providing for three.
Mr. Hobson contended that three bat
tleships would give no increase, but
would provide only for the ordinary
depreciation in the naval force. By
an almost unanimous vote the House
rejected this proposition.
Mr.. Gronna, of North Dakota
moved to strike out the authorization
TuVV Nuff ffnr
ships, viva voce vote showing that
there were not a handful of advo-
Gates of a mo- battleship" policy.
Speaking in favor OF his one bat
tleship plan, Mr.. Tawney reiterated
his statement that ~ per cent. of
the revenue of the country was be-
ing expended for wars that had pass
ed and for preparations for wars
to come He declared that one bat
tleship was sufficient to maintain
the proper strength of the Navy.
Mr. Thomas, of Ohio, proposed an
amendment for four battleships, but
the House voted 1t down almost
unanimously. Mr.. Tawneys amend
ment for one battleship also was
lost by vote of l04 TO 1873.
A point of order was sustained
eliminating from the bill authority
given the Secretary of the Navy for
the construction OF a million-dollar
feet collier, to be built on the Pa
cific Coast by private contract. so
that under existing law 1t will be
constructed In a government navy
yard on the Pacific Coast. The ap-
preparation OF $1,000 900 for one re-
pair ship was also stricken out on
a point of order.
