Speaker Champ Clark has not

the Ratchet is not to be buried be-
tween Mr.. Bryan and himself. It II

continue to do SO in the months
and years to come.

day east OF the capitol 1t was notice
by hundreds of persons that Speaker
Clark never for a moment turned his
eye upon his old friend, the Secretar
of State. The two sat on the plat
form not fifteen feet apart.

COUNTY UNIT RILL PASSES

SENATE-DELAY PLANNED,
The County Unit bill passed the
Senate. late Wednesday afternoon,
in Jefferson City, amid no little
excitement. Senate R. D. Rodgers,
Il this district. voted for the bill.
The vote was 20 to IL in favor of
the bill. III
When Senator Gardner. of st.
Louis, introduced an amendment
making the bill apply only to cities
less than 1000, it was defeated by
9 vote of II to 1e, President Pro
Tenn Wilson voting against the amend
ment, as did Senator Rodgers.
The county unit allows counties to
vote with cities on whether saloons
may be licensed. It affects every city

ty.
1t will make Jackson County wet

it is dry. With a few other excep-
tons It is claimed the effect will be
to make the cities dry.
serenely confident that they had
the votes to defeat the bill, the
vets considered the calling of a roll

the vote on the amendment indicated
the drys could muster barely sixteen
Of the needed eighteen votes.
When 1t was seen that every sena-

is THE COUNTY UNIT
BILL DEFEcTivE7

6iGG Y ~ :
jefferson City, March s.
1t was said by attorneys represent
ing the "wets" yesterday that the
County Unit Bill passed by the house
and senate and now ready for the
signature OF the governor, is invalid
through errors in the bill. They say
before a referendum il taken on it, al
torneys Will attempt to have 1t de-
clared unconstitutional.
The point in question is a differ
enc in phrasing in two sections of
the bill. One section declares to be
unlawful for anyone to sell, furnish o
give away liquors in "dry" counties.
But the section which provides for
a submission of the question to the
people Of q county provides only for
the submission OF the matter Of
selling liquor. Those are the con-
tentions Of Senator A. e. l.. Gardi-
ner, chief opponent Of the bill. He
says that there can be no doubt abou
the 'unconstitutionality of the bill"
G. M. Hay, author of the bill,
laughed when he heard the claim the
"wets" were making that the bill
would be knocked out in the courts.
1--WE will take a chance on It," he
said.

e. B. Haywood, well known in this
city, through which he runs and a
resident of Kansas City, who ran a
Burlington train in the days when In
dams found pleasure in shooting out
the lights in passenger coaches, is
taking a vacation after fcrty-three
years service. He is not well and
II his health does not improve, the
railroad will give him another posi-
ton.
1t was back in Vermont in 1912
that Haywood began %railroading. He
was IS years old, and the idea of
dropping the coupling pin between
two heavy numbering box cars and
escaping by the thickness of his
clothes fascinated him beyond resist
ance.
Heywood's record is remarkable. In
his forty-three years Of service as a
Burlington conductor officials of that
company say he has never cost them
a life or a dollar. But you would not
know it If you talked with him, for
Haywood Is modest.
Haywood captured an armed rob
Der after he had held up his train
on the Burlington in Northern Mis-
souri, in 1906. Unaided he cap
tured the bandits revolver, beat him
into submission and turned him over
to deputy marshals at the next stop.
For that the company presented $500,
a valuable watch and any amount of
good will. That was the only holdup
that he has ever experienced.
But although Mr.. Haywood says
fifty-two years of railroading is too
much, he is not satisfied to be tax
en- off the road. He is not satisfied
to sit back before his fireplace and
remember the time when he would
not buy rich Missouri Valley land for
S. an acre, because he could not
see where they would get enough
people to settle 1t, or the time they
had to turn the lights out in the
train coaches In crossing the Kan
sas prairie because the Indians woult
shoot at them.
