 15,OOO Dead at Avezzano.
 London, Jan. 14, 7:35 A. M.-The Express, in an edition issued at ' o'clock today. estimates the dead at Avazzano. Italy. as a result of the earthquake, at fifteen thousand.
 The correspondent of the Express in Rome, in his story of the earth quake, says that the shocks were felt with varying results throughout the whole district between Rome and Ma bles. In Rome. he declared, it is es- tablished that there was no loss of life, although many ancient works and buildings were severely damaged.
 Towns Entirely Destroyed.
 "The serious loss of life occurred outside of Rome," the Express cor respondent continues, Especially in the mountain towns on the road to Naples. The towns entirely destroyed include Bussi, Sourcola, Capelle, Mag liano and Cappacocia. The shock was severe in Naples, but the damage is slight.
 "The heaviest casualties undoubted- lv occurred at AvezZano, where 1 900 persons are reported buried in the luins.
 Snow Covers Country.
 "Troops are being rushed to the afflicted districts There is need for the quickest assistance, owing to the fact that snow covers the country and blocks the roads. Communication over the entire wrecked section is exceed ingly difficult
 King Victor Emmanuel is leaving Rome at once for the afflicted dis trict"
 Driver Relates Experiences. Rome, Jan. 14, 2:5O a. m.-A young Italian driver who left Avezzano a few minutes before the earthquake gave brief account of his experiences when he reached Rome early today.
 His first intimation of trouble was when the horses of his carriage sud- denly refused to go any further. The ey stood trem bling, and at the same m om ent tn ere came a deep rum bling sound similar to the roar of rail- road train crossing a bridge. Three minutes later the standing walls of some ouarries along the road had crum bled and lay in heaps. From Avezzano there came the cries of the frightened people. Amid the roar of falling houses could be heard the voices of women calling on the saints to help them. The city was under q cloud of dust.
 Blinded by Dust
 The young man tried ii drive bavx to AvezZano, but he could make no headway. He and his horses were blinded by the dust. Soon he saw survivors struggling to make their way from the city. Many had sus- tained injuries and were dragging tn emselves through the dust and con- fusion in pitiable plight. Some were so weak they fell by the roadside. The objective of the refugees was the railroad station, which was soon crowded with a half-frantic gather ing of men, women and children. Be- fore the driver left the vicinity eff forts were being made to convey the most severely wounded to nearby hospitals.

The all but unanimous approval Of
President Wilson's former notes to the
Imperial German Government by the
American press is very gratifying to
the people as a whole, and to the
Democratic party. If our President
is so capable and so wise as to do
just the proper thing in connection
with this worldwide war situation,
may he not also be trusted to do just as
wise and just things as to our do
nestle affairs?

Hon. j. D. Allen of Butler was, on
last Monday, elected to full term of
six years as Clerk of the Supreme
Court of Missouri.
At the same time the Court seemed
to be "dead-locked" on the Reporter,
several ballots having been cast for
that position with the following un-
official results: A. z. Patterson, pri-
vate secretary to Gov. f. W. Major,
receiving three votes; Perry S, RAIDER,
present Reporter, receiving one vote;
Mr.. Christy Bryan receiving two votes,
and Home Hall receiving one vote; the
first three are Democrats and the last
is Republican.
We believe that the reelection Of
Hon. Perry S. RAIDER would meet with
universal approval; he is exception
ally well qualified, and the fact that
he has twice sought the Democratic
nomination for Supreme Judge should
not disqualify him, but should rather
add to his fitness for the position he
has so long and so efficiently filed

In some of the recent issues of oul
esteemed G, 0, P. Organs an attempt
has been made to expand theories in
to facts. For instance, the theory has
been advanced by one Of our Repub-
lican exchanges that the high price
of wheat last winter was caused by
the big demand in Europe created by
the war there. The fact is that the
high price of wheat here was caused
chiefly by the enormous increase in
home consumption arising from a
rapid increase in population, both ma
tive and immigrant, many people COM
ing here from .war-ridden Europe to
avoid the perils of war. And another
proof that the war in Europe was not
the cause is the fact that wheat har-
vest was over in Europe before the
war began and the crop was above
the average, therefore, it naturally
follows that their importation of
wheat should not be unusual and a
further adverse proof is the fact that
England, France and Russia maintain
ed a rigid blockade of all ports of
entry to Germany and, as is well
known, Germany has maintained an
effective submarine blockade Of the
ports Of the Allies. We have been
able toi deliver but few exports to any
Of the ports of European countries,
owing to the danger incident to run
ming the blockades. AS a further
proof Of the fact that the war in Eg-
rope had little or no effect OF our
wheat market, would respectfully
point to the facts that the war is still
raging there, they have harvested no
wheat there since the beginning Of
the war, neither have they sown much
Of seed wheat but largely Of the seed
Of strife; yet, in the face Of al these
the price Of wheat has recently de-
clined to $lO5 per bushel with bright
prospects for a still further decline,
# the war ii Europe caused The price
Of wheat to advance last fall the
same analogy or theory would lead
ore 70 believe it caused the price to
fall this spring; whereas, to any sane
mind the reverse effect would De con-
ceiYed end with greater rigor than
last fall, because conditions IN Europe
must of necessity be worse now after
10 months II the ravages and waste
from the war Europe raised noT.

The agricultural reports positively

and firms Of immense wealth, FREE
quently assuming the gigantic pro-
portions Of trusts, are, as ever, quite
slow to grant either these requests or
demands even when all the circum-
stances at the time justly and imper-
atively demand it.
When conditions and circumstances
impel the employer of labor to re-
quest or demand that employees ac-
cept reduction in wages, and the
employees refuse to have their wages
reduced, the usual result is '1ay-off'
or Shutdown" When the condi-
tions and circumstances impel the
employees to request or demand that
the employer grant raise in wages
and the employer refuses, the usual
result is a strike" or "walk-out."
1t is a matter of record as shown
by Ancient, Medieval and Modern
history that these same results, both
pro and con, between capital and la
Dor, employer and employe, have been
internationally and frequently re-
peated from "time out of mind" OF
from time whereof the memory OF
man runneth not to the contrary"
To find vivid example of this per-
ennial struggle, this strife, we need
not resort to the history of the strug-
giles of the Plebeians VS.. the Patri-
clans in the days of Ancient Rome
nor to the struggles of the Yassal and
Serf VS.. the Feudal Lord in the days
Of Feudalism. Here at our very door
we have seen the struggle on several
times in full sway between the horny
handed toiers, who go down into the
bowels of the earth with pick and
shovel to delve for useful metal, and
their employers who, having grown
obese and opulent to the extent OF
arrogance, have persistently and OBJ
stinately refused to grant any raise
in wages or concessions beyond those
which it seemed unwise to refuse by
reason of threatened property dam
age arising from flooding of waters.
This criterion is constantly in evil
dence in every phase Of commercial
life and activity, always seeking a
medium and equitable ground or q
point warranted just and equal by
virtue of the trend of natural events
when not unduly or amnormally re-
strained or modified by some species
of force consequent upon an adVan-
tage gained and unjustly exercised tc
the disherison of the faction occupy
ing the position of disadvantage.
Justice travels in straight lines
truth is adhesive in nature and any
deviation from justice and truth il
perversive ad unnatural, and requires
great caution and mental exertion or
the part of transgressor to prevent
betrayal; because conscience always
dictates or paves the way of justice
and truth and condemns in physical
expression of eye, face, gesture and
pose SO these are the standards by
which factions should determine the
point of equilibrium in adjusting the
differences that may arise as to what
is a just, reasonable and equitable
wage when considered with reference
to all the prevailing conditions at the
time a request or demand is made.

And then, to be sure II wouldn'i
