If one reads the papers closely
one can find out a great deal as
to the true conditions IN the
country at present. Scanning
the railroad news in the papers
the other day, we found the fol
lowing: President Busch OF the
Mo Pacific says the June obliga-
tions of the road will be met, but
he has apparently had to do some
lively hustling to get the funds;
investors fee! uncertain of the
future and hesitate in making
long time loans. Hills electric
lines show a loss. The Alton
has introduced retrenchment
ideas that have created a senSa-
1ion at all the terminals affected,
nothing in the history Of the road
has equaled the present retrench-
ment, and so on. When railroads
are suffering losses it is a sure
sign that general business is
pretty slack, aud when they are
making the greatest retrench
ment in operating expenses, a lot
of wage-earners are going to suf
fer. The above are facts not
found in the political columns OF
partisan papers and they reflect
"a true situation.

Big Struggle Ahead In Missouri.

The last Missouri Legislature
after hard fought battle passed
by a most decisive majority of
9O-45 in the House and 2O-12 in
the Senate the Full County Unit
Local Option bill. This measure
is a purely democratic one, Civ
ing to each county as separate
unite the right of deciding the
dramshop question within its
borders. Under this law cities
of 25OO or: bove would Of neces-
sity vote with the balance of the
county on the question. This
would give to the entire county
either the right to have saloons
or to shut them out. The liquor
interests OF thestate have deter
mined the people should not
have the privilege of voting upon
their business as long as it could
be prevented and they used the
referendum to hold the measure
up for two years Paid agents
of the traffic as we'll as the sa-
ioonkeepers themselves circulat-
ed petitions until sufficient names
we're secured to invoke the re-
ferendum. The question is now
mp for settlement at the coming
general election in November.
The question raised involves
not only the County Unit Local
Option law, but involves the
more serious question of wheth-
er or not the Missouri legislature
shall be sustained in it's action
when it has followed clearly the
expressed will of a majority of
the state in the enactment of the
law. If the purpose of this re-
ferendum succeeds in defeating
county unite it practically es-
tablishes the principle that no
i'm portant legislation can stand
if any considerable interest, cor
rupt or otherwise, oppose such
legislation.
AS has been proven by past
experience, the initiative and re-
ferenuum raise such peculiar
difficulties that it is very difficult
to secure law by these meth
DDS One peculiarly unfortun-
ate measure among large num-
Der of initiative and referendum
propositions has been sufficient
to carry down to defeat any
number of other meritorious
propositions.
The County Unit law is oppos-
ed most bitterly by the entire
LIQUOR interests of the state as in
all probability would give Mis-
souri, a total of more than 100 en-
tirely dry counties. It would
compel some of our middle
sized cities to submit to the will
of the majority in the entire
county-a thing, of course, the
Iliuuor interests are always op-
lposed to, but against which no
Legitimate argument can be
made In no other state in the
union can cities be voted separ-
alely from the counties in which
they are located under the Coun
'Ity Unit Option law and it is high
time Missouri was falling into
line with what is conceded every
where else. The law is eminent
lily fair unless a majority vote
can be called unfair. Missouri
spoke out in the choice of the
: legislature in 1912 on this ques
ton as this was perhaps thu
most prominent issue. The peo
pie from every nook and corne,
} of the state urged the passage o
this measure. A majority yes

Queer Bits of HitOry

! By CHAMP CLARK

In the entire history Of the republic
there j. only one ease of father and son
sitting together in the Senate of the United
States-General Henry Dodge. the father.
from Wisconsin, and General Augustus
Caesar Dodge, the son. from Iowa, and
strange To say the junior Dodge was the
senior Senator.
General Henry Dodgc'S half brother, DR..
Lewiss r. Linn, the best beloved Of MI
Missouri Senators. preceded General Henry
Dodge in the Senate, hut died before Gen
eral Dodge rnt there. The nearest APP
proach "a the duplication Of the Dodge
Senatorial situation was when Thomas n.
Bayard Of Delaware, succeeded his father
in the Senate. Bayard fills being sworn in
the same day Bayard pere went out.
For many years IL seem that one Scna-
torial seat from Delaware was conceded
to the Bayard family. the other to the
Salisbury family. II most assuredly is a
queer ht of history that three salisbury
brothers were nj one time candidates
against each other for the Salisbury fam
lily seat in the Senate. The Bayards have
completely vanished from the political
scene. but a Salisbury j. now a Senator
from Delaware.
When Simon Cameron was old and
stricken IN years he resigned in the mid
die of a Senatorial term in order that his
son, j. Donald Cameron, might be safely
launched on a Senatorial career.
There T. no ease when \ father and son
sat together IN the House: and only one
ease where n father sat in the Senate while
the son sat in the Ilouse-Daniel W.
Voorhees, sitting n Senator from Indiana.
while hi- son, Charles W. VOORHEES,, served

tory of Washington.
Never have brothers served together in
the Senate. but there have been several ill.,
stances of that sort in the House. the
most notable one being that Of the Wash

from Illinois, and G.. e.. from Wisconsin.

Before the War and Now.

In ante-bellnm days two Marshall
brothers, Thomas n. from Kentucky and
Edward II. from California. sat side by
side IN the House. They were nmong the
most brilliant OF morials. but could secure
only one term each IN Congress.
Two Tarsncy brothers. John q. from

together N the House in my day: also two
Clayton brothers, Henry ID. from Alabama
and Bertram 7. from New York. and two

also two L.andi, brothers, Charlie and Fred
both from Indiana. While Roswell q. Horr
