CAPE ELKS BOOSTING.
COL. HARRIS BOOM
NJ. A. Dempsey to Campaign if
Mexico Man is Nomi-
mated For Governor.

Cape Girardeau Elks have taken up
the gubcrnatorial boom of Col. Fred
4. Morris Of Mexico, which was re-
Gently launched in the northwestern
section Of the State, and are cndeav-
Oring to boost his candidacy through
out this part of Missouri.
Attorney N. A Dempsey, who re-
Gently became politically active, is
championing the cause of Col. Morris.
Dir. W. c. Patton, who has been mon
toned for Congress from the Four
teenth District, also is in sympathy
with the candidacy Of the Mexico man.
Col. Morris is one OF the best known
members of the Elks' LOdgs in the
State. He was chosen to head the
State order Of Ells several years ago,
and has since been of Statewide prom
inence with the order.
Col. Morris recently resigned as
cditor-in-chief of the Mexico Inteli-
gencer, and it is understood by his
friends that he has begun an organized
campaign for the Democratic nominal
ton for Governor next year. The Dem
ocratic newspapers Of this section o.
the State have indorsed him and arc
exploiting the editor as the hope of the
part Of next year.
Col Morris, VINO is member Of the
staff Of Gov Major, has been active in
politics for many years. He is now
and has been for several years chair
man of the Audrain County Dem
Ocratic Committee.
Attorney Dempsey, who has been a
close personal friend of Col Morris
for several years, yesterday said he
considered the Mexico editor as gen.
uine contender for the honor next
year. "He is widely known, has a
tremendous following, and man of
more admirable qualities could not be
found in Missouri" said Mr.. Dempsey.
while Col. Morris has no tannounccd
that he is an avowcd candidate, ] feel
certain that he is going to MAKE the
race. l would not be surprised if he
formally makes known his candidacy
about the first of the year, when the
campaign in reality will open.
"Col. Morris has never been affiii-
ated with any faction in the party. He
holds an excellent record and is a
charming character. l hope to see him
run, and if he does, l expect to cam
paign this section of the State for
him."

NEICHBORS SAVE
STEINHOFF HOME
Jackson Residence Damaged by
Fire While Family Visit
In Cape.

Fire OF a mysterious origin broke
out in the home of Louis Steinhoff, in
Jackson, shortly after s o'clock last
night, while the family were visiting
N the Cape, and had it not been for
the heroic work of neighbors, the pref
ty two-story residence would have
been destroyed.
The blaze had gained. good head
way before it was discovered, and the
alarm turned in. The volunteer fire
department responded quickly, and
with the assistance of bucket brigade,
made up of neighbors, the blaze was
soon cXtinguished.
The cOnflagration broke out in the
lower rooms, and before it was placed
under control, the partitions in three
of the downstair rooms were de-
stroyed.
Several explanations were given as
probable causes for the fire. Some
attributed the blaze to crossed electric
wires and others were of the opinion
that it may have been caused by an
electric stove, but the origin was not
definitely fixed.
The Steinhoff family left Jackson
Immediately after their evening meal,
and came to the Cape in a machine
They had hardly been here an hour
when the blaze was discovered. Neigh
bors telephoned to this city and To-
Gated Mr.. Steinhoff at the home of
A. J. Flentge, a brother-in-law.
They returned Immediately to the
county seat, but when they arrived, the
blaze had been Subducd.
Mr.. Steinhoff is employed by A. H.
Mueller, the butcher.
The Stcinhoff residence was until
short time ago the Presbyterian par
sonage, and stands near the Presby-
terrain Church 1t is two-stOry frame
structure. and was recently purchaser
by Mr.. Steinhoff.

not understand why the course fol-
lowed was given the "airing" it had
received in the newspapers because it
usually has been customary for sur
geons and physicians to handle such
cases quietly. Many have been allow
ed to die that have been born in a sim
liar situation and nothing was said OF
it The course is justified, he de-
clared.
Dr. John D. Porterficld Jr., declares
there is nothing uncommon in the ac-
ton of DIR. Heiseldcn. "The only Just
criticism that can be offered of him, -
said DIR. Porterficld," is that he has
taken up more space in the newspapers
than belongs to any one physician. |
think it is the greatest advertising
scheme on record.
"FrOm what l understand of the
case, there was nothing that could be
done for the child. An operation would
not have been the least beneficial. Ra-
bies are being permitted to die almost
every day. When | was in Chicago,
knew of similar eases, where baby
was permitted to die.
'''The child was born with its wind
pipe connecting with the aesOphagus.
No operation was made, although the
case was not nearly so hopeless as the
one now being exploited in the news
papers. | know of many cases which
could be offered to show that there is
nothing uncommon about permitting a
malformed child to die. 1t seems to me
to be the only humane way of dispos-
/ ing of such patients.
IF a surgeon knows that he cannot
help the case, why should be mangle
| it? This baby was without mind and
nothing under a miracle could have
made it physically normal"
