Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1915-12-02
The Tariff Issue a Joke.

The great crowds that have been
attending the Democratic meetings
that are being held in different parts
of the state show that the Demo-
Gratis are feeling good and have no
fear that they will not again carry
the state at the next general cleo
ton. The large crowds in attend
ance at these meetings are striking
terror in the hearts of even the pie
hunting office seeking Republicans.
The old standpat papers and the
politicians and Republican office
seekers are trying to keep a stiff
upper lip" and are urging the Re-
publicans to organize and fight the
enemy, but their efforts are almost
as weak as are their campaign is
sues. There is nothing left for the
poor old &. o. p. orators to talk
about except the tariff, and that is
such a huge joke that it appears
more than ridiculous to a sensible
thinker, no matter what party be
belongs to. The Democrats every.
where should rally to their party
not feeling over confident, Blu,
with firm determination to worl

Not long ago we were talking with
a man who said he had just been
having a social chat with a man
who runs a Republican newspaper.
Finally he sprung this on his friend,

LANSING, Mich, Jan. Coon
WINGED that general increases in rates
OF passenger fares will not be allowed
at this session. Gov, Ferris is plan
ming to ask the legislature to empow-
or him to appoint commission TO
make an investigation OF railroad pas
senger earnings with a view to de-
termining whether or not this class
OF business Is handled at loss under
existing rates.
The governor declares that any leg
islation passed at this session could
not possibly be based on actual find
ings. but must, OF necessity. be pred
icated on reports made by the roads
themselves.
II is generally accepted here that
the petition of the Pere Marquette
Will be used as a means Of getting the
cases OF other and more prosperous
roads before the legislature and that,
when the matter is brought up, mem.
bers will be besieged by attorneys,
railroad ofiicials and paid lobbyists In
an effort to bring about q general In.
crease.
Whether this can be accomplished
remains to be seen. II 10 certain. how
ever. that although the Pere Mar
Quette petition finds favor among
many OF the legislators, any attempt
made by other roads to profit by its
petition Is, at present. frowned down
upon. BALLENGER

TWO CASES TO TEST
RIGHT OF SEARCH
State Department Watching
British Treatment Of Wilhel-
nina and Dacia

WASHINGTON, Jan 23.--Two inn
portant cases involving American
rights upon the high seas were In
prospect today for early state depart
ment consideration.
Scheduled sailing of the cotton
steamer Dacia from Galveston, and
the venturesome voyage OF the food
laden Wilhelmina from New York last
night were the cases on which 1t was
confidently expected protests would
arise.
In the case of the Wilhelmina, the
state department advised her char
terers that they have right to ship
to Germany IL her American cargo Of
food Is not for the German army. Her
seizure by the British, however, will
Immediately involve the department,
as IL has been informed that protest
will be filed. The British government
was not consulted in this instance
In the case OF the Dacia, seizure Is
practically Inevitable, as England has
served notice Of intent to take the
hull into prize court, and the captain
OF the vessel has announced he does
not expect TO deviate from the usual
commercial course on his trip to Rot
terdam.
