SCHADE Is MAKING
RACE FOR SHERIFF
Democrats Follow Him into the
Field to Begin Campaign
Work.

William F. Schade, Democratic car
didate for Sheriff, Was in the Cape
yesterday, comforting with his friends.
1t had been reported in this city dur
ing the past ten days that he had
decided not to make the race because
his business would not permit him to
do so, but Mr.. Schade promptly denied
this rumor last night.
81 am in the race to win," he said,
"and that's what I'm going to do"
Mr.. Schade is considered the strong
est man in the Democratic party in
this county, and holds the distinction
of never having been defeated.
He is one of the few Democrats who
have announced for Office in the Coun-
ty this season. CoIone! c. c. Oliver,
the farmer editor, is reported to have
erected his lightning rods, bit he has
not announced for the Legislature yet.
He ran against Capt. Bridges two
years ago and was defeated, and Capt.
Bridges is in the race again.
Henry P. Gaines of this city is men
toned for County Assessor on the
Democratic ticket, but has not formal
ly announced.
Robert H. Whitelaw, city attorney
of this city, is going to make the race
for the Democratic nomination for
Judge Of the Common Pleas Court,
and is not expected to have any OppO-
sitiOn.
Democrats nave not lined UP on the
gubernatoriai situation in Cape Girar-
deau County rs yet, but the race seems
to have settled down to 4 contest be-
tween Col. Fred D. Gardner of St.
Louis and Cornelius Roach, the pres
ent Secretary Of State, and the indica-
tons are now that Col. Gardner has
a decided edge on the situation. Dem
ocratic leaders in this city say they
have been told that Gardner will get
quite a few Republican votes. His
land bank bill is proving a magnet to
his candidacy.
Harry f. Alexander has decided to
enter the race for the Democratic
nomination for State Senator from
this district, to succeed c. P. Hawk
ms of Kennett, who, his friends say.
will not seek reelection. Mr. AleXan-
der has been urged by Democratic
leaders from each of the seven coUn-
ties comprising the district to make
the race, and he informed The Tribune
yesterday that he would announce his
candidacy within a short time.

RAINFALL MEANS
BIG CROP SAVING
Strawberries and Grain Were in
Need Of Moisture This
Week.

An inch of rain that fell early this
morning after o'clock has meant
thousands of dollars to the farmers Of
Cape County in the development Of
crops that had reached a stage where
water was essential.
Homegrown strawberries which be-
gan coming to the market in the Cape
last week, will be much better after
the rain this morning. They will be
ripened clover, and it is anticipated
that the berries will be Of a better
quality on account OF the added
moisture.
The grain crops also we're badly in
need of rainfall, it was reported by
farmers coming to the Cape. Scarcely
Il product of the farm may be men
toned that has not been in need Of
water at this time for It's best and
proper development.
Within the city itself the roses,
which have bioomed luxuriantly in the
last week, will be better on account
of the rain. Those which will bloom
later will improve Il great deal from
the effects Of the rain.
The rain was accompanied by 4
strong wind for short time from the
west, and by thunder and lightning
Some of the downtown streets were
running full to the tops of the crubs
with water, the torrents fell so fast
at the outset Of the storm.
The rainfall had been anticipated
and predicted by several men last
evening.

Document.

Charlotte, n. c., May 20-President
Wilson spoke here today at the one
hundred and forty-frst anniversary
celebration of the signing Of the
Mecklenberg Declaration of Indcpen-
dence before an assemblage estimated
as great as 100000 persons
The President said:
81 do not know, my fellow citizens,
whether l can interpret for you today
the spirit of this occasion, but it is
necessary when we get together in
celebrations like this to take counsel
together with regard to Just what it
is that We wish to celebrate.
You will say we wish to celebrate
the memories Of that time to which
we look back with such pride, when
our fathers, with singular wisdom of
counsel and stOutness Of heart, under
took to set up en- Independent nation
on this side of the waters; but it is
very much more important that we
should remind ourselves of the Gle
ments with which our forefathcrs
death.
There we're only 100000 citizens
in that original Republic of the United
States of America. Now there are
10G,000,000. It is long cry back to
those modest beginnings; a great
period Of time, not only, but d great
period Of profound change separates
us from that time, and yet l would
remind you that the same clements
were present then that are present
now.
See, then, ladies and gentlemen,
what a now age We have come into. |
should think that it would quicken the
imagination OF every man and quicken
the patriotism Of every man who cared
for America. Here in America VIC
have tried to set the example Of bring
ing all the world together upon terms
Of liberty and cooperation and peace,
and in that great experience that VIC
have been going through America has
been 2 sort of prophetic sample &C
mankind. Now the world utsiGe of
America has felt the foTccs Of AmcTi-
ca, felt the forces of freedom, the
forces Of common asDiration, the
forces that brin% every man ard every
ration face to face with this question:
What are you going 20 do with your
powers? Are yu going to translate it
into forces, or are you going to trans
late It into peacc and the satisfaction
Of the society?
Docs it not interest You that Amer
lea has run before the rest Of the
world in making trial Of this great hui
man experiment, and is i not the sign
and dawn Of 4 new age that one thing
upon which the world is now about to
fall back is the moral Judgment Of
mankind. There is no finer sentence
in the history of great nations than
that sentence which occurs in the
Declaration Of Independence am
referring 10 the minor declaration at
Philadelphia, not to the LIecklenburg
declaration-in which Mr. jefferson
said: a decent respect for the opinion

which We have taken the important

FROWN ON POLITICS
Catholics Emphasize That Church
Seeks No Party Power.

New York. Aug. 23.-Because of the
heat, an effort was being made today
to wind up the business of the fif-
teenth annual convention of the Ma
tional Federation of Catholic Societies
BY night instead of holding sessions
Thursday as originally planned.
The nominating committee was in
session today and there was every in
dication they would rrnomirate pres
ent officers and that these would be
reelected.
Vigorous resentment over lntlma-
tions that the federation is partisan.
was displayed today by both laymen
and members of the clergy.
I'VE want no Catholic party. the
words of Bishop Hickey. of Rochester.
were repeated frequently today by the
delegates.
After telling a crowded mass meet
ing held under the auspices of the
German Roman Catholic Central Yer
Elm. that there were fifteen million
Catholics III the United States. James
r. Zipf of st. Louis, president of the
verein said:
Il do not contend now for a reli-
gious party. We are too big for parti-
sanship. but our influence should be
cast where it will best serve the holy
princi pies for which we stand
A burst of applause followed his
declaration that there should be no
religious party.

GO TO BREAD TICKETS
Churchill Also Urges England to In
stitute '.MeatIess Days" at Once.

London, Aug. 23.-Bread tickets and
1neatlesS days each week for England
were recommended by Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, former first lord of the
admiralty in headquarters here. This
recommendation was coupled with a
prediction that the war would last for
many months and a demand that the
government recognizes its responsible
tiles and put an end to the 'Scanda-
1ous price of feod.''
THE German army is more numer-
Gus and better equipped than ever"
said Mr.. Churchill. England should
organize for a long war and immedi-
ately put food supplies on a war
basis.
IF it is desired to restrict consump-
ton to the proper need, what we want
to do is issue bread and meat tickets
and designate certain meatless days
each week.
A further suggestion by the speaker
as to the method by which the govern
ment should regulate food prices was
that 'tAll shipping be chartered by the
government at admiralty rates.
THE rise in freights is national
scandal he declared urging that the
government take control of the dis
tribution of the food supplies from
| overseas. -fe

FOR PARTY'S GOOD
Democratic Senators Get in
Line on Immigration Bill.
Threat of Veto Wins Point for
the President.
FIVE REVOLTERS HOLD OUT
Others Return to Reservation
Others Return to Reservation
and Bill Is Set Back.
Republicans Show ExtraVa
gances of Administration.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-When Presi-
dent Wilson sent word to the Demo-
cratic managers of the senate that II
the immigration bill were again passed
with the literacy test intact he would
again veto the measure, party lead
ers. knowing that organized labor
was demanding the passage of the bill,
and fearing that a veto might defeat
the reelection of President Wilson,
at once began personal appeals to the
ten revolving senators who joined the
Repu blicanS in their stand on the Dill.
The fear of party defeat at the polls
in November proved winning argu-
ment. Senators Chamberlain, Culber-
son, Overman, Beckman and Lane re-
turned to the reservation. Senators
Ashurst, Hardwick, Myers, Smith Is.
CO and Vardaman refused to listen to
the party call. The vote by which the
immigration bill was sent back to the
calendar was 80 to %.
This vote was preceded by a short
but acrimonious debate, in which Sem
ator Vardaman denounced Senator
Stone as the "self constituted censor
of his colleagues actions" He de-
clared that he would continue to re-
fuse to take orders from any caucus
or steering committee.
No Respect for Stone.
l. Il have no respect for senator VINO
bows to the will of secret conference
moved by extraneous Influences" he
cried.
Senator Myers said he would prefer
to resign his seat at once than break
his pledge to support the immigration
bill. Senator Kern attempted to pour
oil on the troubled waters and appeal
ed for party unity. Senator Shafroth
said there was no need for imm ediate
immigration legislation as there would
be little immigration for several years
following the war in Europe.
The debate was brought to an end
by the vote with which the president
won out, the vice president causing ar
outbreak of laughter on the floor and
in the galleries by referring to the ses-
| sion as caucus"
This gave the administration lead

"FEEBLE' FEUD IS ONWAVE OF SUICIDE
III. G. Bowman Says There Are Only
1000 in Kansas New.

Estimates of Kansas feeble minded
as made by DIR. Lydia DeVilbisS fail
entirely to satisfy Harry c. Bowman.
DIR. DeVilbiss is in charge of the state
bureau of child hygiene, while Bow
man is Il member of the state board
of control. Bowman and DR.. Devil
bliss have staged a little war of their
own during the last few weeks and
when DIR. DeVilbiss estimated 10000
feeble minded persons for Kansas.
Bowman promptly took exception.
Bowman now declares there are
probably 1000 feeble minded persons
in Kansas-less than one-fcurth the
number in the DeVilbiss estimate.
Bowman apologies for this number,
explains that the increase is due to
high pressure life in the larger towns
and SCOTS at the DeVilbiSS estimate
Arrangements are now being made to
conduct a survey in the state, when
accurate records will be gathered con-
corning the number of feeble minded
ard mentally deficient persons. This
report will settle the dispute.
