The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-03-25

ests stopped negotiations fol
loans and mortgages because the
property upon which their money
was secured could not be pro.
tected with insurance, and gave
notice that existing loans would
not be renewed. The result was
that building operations in the
large cities of Missouri, amount
ing to millions of dollars, was
stopped until the insurance sus-
pension was ended, with losses
! all down the line to contractors
supply men and thousands OF
workmen and building laborers.
Dealers in grain, cotton, tobac-
co, whiskey and warehouse pro-
duce, who had been accustomed
to get loans from banks on bills
of lading, accompanied by insur-
ance policies, were unable to get
such accommodation, and in con-
sequence enormous quantities of
such staples were taken out of
the state or diverted from their
, usual destin alton.
In addition to the effect upon
large and important business en-
terprises, the small householder,
who requires a loan protected by
an insurance policy to build his
home or protect his mortgage,
was unable to secure protection.
In consequence building permits
fell off sharply, and all supply
an labor interests were effected.
The fire insurance patrols, fire
prevention association and other
bodies dependent upon insurance
taxation were forced to suspend
and withhold their protection and
service to the public.
The insurance agents, who are
usually among the desirable cit
liens in every community, were
deprived of their income and
livelihood during the period of
suspension.
A great deal of property was
burned on which the insurance
had expired and could not be re-
newed, resulting in total loss to
to the property-owner. In con-
sequence the buildings and stocks
were not promptly replaced, as
would have been possible had
they been insured.
Because of these and many
other reasons, and because the
state, was getting an unenviable
reputation throughout the coun-
try as hostile to business inter
ests, the leading commercial or
CARNATIONS of Missouri made
every effort to secure a correc-
ton of conditions. The State
Bankeri Association, associa-
tons of commerce and CONNER
cial clubs of St. Louis and Kan
sas City and scores of other
cities, and influential individuals
petitioned the governor to call
special session of the legislature
to repeal the obnoxious law. The
protests of the business interests,
forced by their necessities, finally
became so strong that the state |

A Better Roads Convention Call.

A state convention is hereby
called to meet in Jefferson
City, Mo-, on Thursday, May IA.
1914, to federate all good roads
organizations and all lovers of
better roads into a statewide
movement, a Missouri Better
Roads Federation.
The call is made on the unani-
nous agreement of citizens who
jOurneyed to Kansas City to con
slider ways and means to unite
all good roads advocates and to
Eliminate every Jar and discOrd
liable to arise over disagreements
as to ways and means of getting
better roads of all types and
kinds.
This plan to federate all ele-
ments is not only n~On-partisan
and non-pOlitical, but it is free
from fractional purpose also. The
following persons sign the call,
no officers being chosen as that
is left to the delegated body in
convention to decide: C. f.
Adams of ChillicOthe, G. j. Hin
shaw of Kansas City, Frank w
Buffum of Louisiana. Roy F.
Britton of st. Louis, w. A. Ais.
dorf of Kansas City, Jewell May.

Shannon of Kansas City, Chas
w. Fear of Joplin, Judge j. NJ
Lowe and Frank A. Davis o.

1t was unanimously agreed II
hold the state convention at JEFF
ferson City on May l4th to de
eide on ways and means to fos
Der and promote proper interes
in legislation on which all goo'
roadsters can unite, eliminating
the "shucks" and agreeing o.

crop thereof.

The G. o. P, Dumping the Co.
ored Brother.

ored Brother.
What the democratic party has
long been doing by other pro-
cesses, the republican party now
proposes to do through its nat
ional convention. 1t proposes to
wipe ont the potentiality of the
outhern negro in the affairs of
the party.
The plan submitted by a sub
committee of the national com
mittee for adoption by the con
ventions of the various states
proposes to cut the percentage
of southern and territorial repre-
Sentation in national conven-
tons from 35 to 16 per cent of
the total voting strength of such
conventions.
Of course this is done by ap-
p%Ortioning strength in convention
according to the republican
strength of the various states,
and in that respect is nOminally
fair, but the result is none the
less to take away from the south
ern states, where the negroes are
the chief element of republican
ism, the strength they have al
ways been able to maintain in
the national conventions of the
party. This proposal arises from
the part played by the negro
delegates from the south in the
last national convention at Chi
cago.
While there has always been
since the wal a pronounced sec
tionalism in our politics, this ac-
ton seems we'll calculated to in
tensify it. Should the demo
cratic party adopt a similar
policy, the inevitable result
would be to stamp the republi-
can party as a southern organi-
zation, each representing the
section in which its largest and
most certain strength lies.
However, such a condition
.ould not arise from the returns
Of the last election, for in it the
republicans as such only carried
TWO states, Vermont and Utah,
six others being carried by the
progressive party and AZ by the
democrats.
1t is probably right that the
tates that provide the voting
,trength in elections should have
right Of way in the regulation
and conduct of party affairs, but
that argument is not going to
hide the fact that this is a move
ment to limit the pOtentiality of
the southern negro in republican
affairs. st. Joseph Observer.
