WE'RE ALL RIGHT.

There is nothing the matter
with Southeast Missouri, either
above ground or below. The
mines are running full; prices of
metal rule high; operators and
miners thrive. The banks are
prosperous; the lead district owns
its own banks and does it's own
financing. Merchants are put.
ting in heavy stocks and rejoicing
over good collections. The Re.
public's special representative,
Gaty Pallen, who is making a tour
of observation of Missouri politi.
cal conditions, finds Republicans
as we'll as Democrats enthusiastic
over the success of President
Wilson in dealing with the unique
problems which have confronted
him during the past two years.
The district about Pennington,
Flat River and Bonne Terre is
typical of that blending of agri.
cultural and industrial interests
whicl, holds the secret of Mis-.
souri's prosperity. We venture
the prophecy that the sentiment
which Mr.. Pallen encountered
there will be found characteriz.
ing the state as a whole. 1t is an
interesting and suggestive fact
that the Gardner land bank act |
has aroused the enthusiastic in

the high seas, and could not sacrifice
those rights with the nations rise and
growth to a position of command as
world power.
Made Virtual Surrender.
High officials generally held the
view that Mr.. Bryan's statement con-
stituted a virtual surrender of Amer
lean rights guaranteed by interna-
tional law. and by specific treaties be-
tween the United States and Germany
Mr.. Bryan's suggestion that Ameri.
cans do not take pasasGe on ships
carrying ammunition was in direct
conflict, it was pointed out. with the
treaty of 1928 between Prussia and
the United States. wherein either
party in time of war is given the right
of free access 20 belligcrent ports.
Moreover. the right of an American
citizen to sail on an unarmed and
unres'sting merchant ship OF any ma.
tionality in time of war is held by
the president and his advisers TO be
an inaNcnable privilege founded on
the international law of centuries.
Must Conform to All Rules.
The presidents view /. understood
10 hp that a new weapon OF offensive
in warfare can be introduced only if
il IS made to conform with the gem
orally established rules of interna-
tionaI law existing. The conditions of
war may change, he has said, but not
the rules of war unless there is gen
eral agreement among the nations
which contributed to the making of
international law.
Mr.. Wilson, ii became known, is
not opposed to the idea of an inves-
tigation or diplomatic discussion OF
cases in dispute between Germany
and the United States, but feels be-
fore such step can be taken that in i
for such a step can be taken some
guaranty must be given that in the
interim of discussion the lives of
American citizens will not be jeopar-
died and that the United States will
not be required to yield any of its
rights while the discussion is under
| way.
Prevent Repetition of Attacks.
1t is the repetition of attacks on
American vessels or lives which the
president believes must be prevented
| by an assertion of the rights of the
United States and the attainment OF
Germany's acquiescencc in that point
of view before diplomatic negotia-
tions on the subject can continue.
The note cabled to Germany. it was
said authoritatively, leaves room in
many respects for a friendly reply.
but contains firm insistence on the
principles expressed in the American
notes of February 10 and May Il.
The president has requested that de-
tailed forecasts of the note be not
printed in advance of the publication
of the official text.
