THE TITANIC

1903 people went to a watery grave.
The whole world was stricken with
horror at the news of the awful dis
aster. What of the thousands that
perish annually from the traffic in
liquors?
Fifteen hundred people perish in
that way every eight days. Much
effort was put forth to discover who
were at fault as to the Titanic dis
aster that Che guilty parties might
be punished and removed that such
horror might never be repeated.
We know where to fix the blame in
the liquor horrors. Shall we be shock
ed at the terrible loss Of life in the
case of the ship that went down at sea
and look on with complacency at the
perishing thousands that are going
down all about US to much more hor-
rible death?
We have the opportunity now to
stop the tragedy by the simple act
of casting your vote against the sa-
loon. Do it on Saturday without fail.

Some of the big trust-controlled
papers in the East are counseling
President Wilson to recall Ambassa-
dor Gerard from Berlin and hand
Count Won Bernstorff his passports,
thus severing diplomatic relations be-
tween Germany and the United States.
Whether such action would be wise at
this time will be duly determined by
the CHIEF MAGISTRATE of our
Nation, who is fully equal TO every
exigency that may arise, and is trust
ed by the great mass of the citizen
ship Of this country to sanely handle
the situation without any suggestions
from the commercially controlled
press of New York 1t is well known
that the large manufacturing and
commercial interests of the East
have for some time been urging and
counseling the President, and sug-
costing that Germany and every other
nation be strictly forbidden to inter
fere with our commerce upon the high
seas; but, perhaps they do not think
to consider that the wealth producers
and not the wealth possessors, as a
rule, will have to do the fighting and
posterity bear the brunt. Little do
they seem to care what the ultimate
consequences, just so the wheels of
commerce continue to go round and
return that series of profits that is
the criterion Of trade relations.

From canvass conducted by the
Washington Bureau of the New York
Sun it is evident that, if the Republi-
can nominating convention were held
now and New York presented Elihu
Roots name, he would be nominated
as the Republican standard bearer in
the battle of the ballots in 1916. SEN
ator Weeks and former Senator Bur-
ton are mentioned as second and third
choice. And we are of belief the G..
O. P. leaders will have to indulge in
a more extended serial of choices
before they find an equal of the pres
ent patient incumbent of the White
House.

We regret to relate that another
star performer of the Preacher Meek

St. Francois county in the vicinity Of
Flat River, in the person of Rev
Short Wallace. This eXpostulating
effervescing fulminator of bubbles
that burst shortly, with momentary
paralyzing effect, is venerable Rev.
hailing from Iowa and supported by
the brewing interests in his harangue
against Local Option. Perhaps Farm

as it is hardly probable he could add
anything beneficial or detrimental to
the cause, left unsaid by Rev. Meeker.

in the ears Of some Of the most prom
inent men of this district, living in the
various counties of the district. In
fact, practically in every county of
the district the citizens are beginning
to crystalize sentiment in favor of
one or more of their prominent men
in the ranks of both the Democratic
and Republican parties. Those
prominently mentioned in the Demo
cratic ranks are Col. S. ]. Stanton,
Ste. Genevieve county; Judge Ed
bearing, Potosi, Washington county;
Hon. o. L. Munger, Piedmont, Wayne
county, Mo-; and last but not least,
Prof. G. w. Moothart and Hon. w.

co.'s county, Mo. In the Republican
ranks the following have been men
toned: Hon. Robert DAVIS, Freder-
icktown, Madison county, Mo-; and
Mayor Otto w. Ramsey, Bismarck,
st. Francois county, Mo. This being
a very lucrative office and one in
which maximum opportunity is af-
forded the incumbent to serve his
constituency benefcially, and thus win
eternal fame; and his name go down
in history to be rehearsed by genera
tions yet unborn, quite naturally it
is a position to be desired and one in
which the people should use the ut
