HENSLEY BEGINS FIGHT

Another step in the fight against
preparedness, says Washington tele-
gram of the 7th, was taken in the
House ON Thursday when Represent
alive Hensley of the Thirteenth Mis-
souri, district introduced a drastic
resolution demanding an investiga-
ton of the organizations engaged in
defense propaganda. The resolution
will be pressed by the anti-prepared-
ness faction among House Democrats,
led by Representative Hensley, as
part of the struggle to defeat the adj
ministration defense program.
The resolution would give the pro-
posed committee wide inquisitorial
powers. Representative Hensley an
nounced his intention of seeking an
immediate hearing before the Rules
Committee, to which the resolution
was referred, and of pressing the
measure before the House as soon as
possible.

There was in the Senate no discus
sion ON the resolution.
Senator Gallinger read to the Sen
ate telegram from Judge L. W.
Holmes of Keene, N. H., urging hirr
to do all he could to locate his SOC,
Thomas B. Holmes, survivor of the
killing.
"My son, Thomas B. Holiness" read
the telegram, "is sole survivor of re-
cent Mexican outrages. Please Dc
everything possible to locate him."
Senator Gallinger, the Republican
leader, later declared the time for
watchful waiting had passed and that
the United States now must take some
steps to protect the lives of Ameri-
cans in Mexico. He read communi-
cation from the State Department
saying Thomas B. Holmes, the only
one of the II Americans who escaped
death, was safe in Chihuahua.
Senator Stone declared he was IN
sympathy with the general idea ex-
pressed by Senator Gallinger.

REED IN WISCONSIN SPEECH
FLAYS PREPAREDNESS FOES

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 10.-Open-
ing the Wilson campaign in WiscoA.-
sin tonight under the auspices of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
United States Senator James A. Reed
of Missouri defied the opponents Of
the preparedness policy of President
Wilson to show wherein it is wrong
and flayed Ambitious gentlemen
whose ambition for political power
causes them to criticise the Presi-
dent.
Senator Reed declared he believed
there was not one chance in ten thou-
sand of this country becoming involy.-
ed in war, but, he added, "This chance,
should not be taken" He said the
country should become prepared, and,
without calling it President Wilson's
program, outlined the Presidents
ideas.
The Missouri Senator told of the
outrages to American commerce or
the high seas by the British fleet an6
of the killing of American citizens By
German submarines.

SWAMP RECLAMATION, /,

The sixth annual meeting of the
National Drainage Congress win be
held at Cairo, ILL.,, on the 10th, goth
and 21st inst. The chief purpose of
this Congress is to get national legis-
lation that will bring about the recla-
nation of the more than eighty mil
lion acres of swamp and overlooked
lands in the United States. John H
Nolen, Commissioner of Land Recla-
nation for Missouri, is the Missouri
Executive Committeeman of the
Drainage Congress. Speaker Champ
Clark, John Sharp Williams of Mis-
sissippi and some members of Pres
ident Wilson's Cabinet will be among
the speakers. g"
Just think what the reclamation of
these 80,000,000 acres of swamp and
overfowed lands would add to the
agricultural wealth to say nothing of
the health of the country. That the
movement is practical has been thor
oughly demonstrated by the large
area of swamp lands that has been
reclaimed in Southeast Missouri and
around New Orleans. Around this
city many thousands of acres of
swamp and reptile infested land have
been reclaimed by private enterprise
and converted into orange groves and
fertile truck farms, and in turn have
contributed much to the wealth and
beauty of the surrounding country
and to the general healthfulness Of
the Crescent City.
There are millions, a veritable gold
mine, in the rich, alluvial soil of the
swamp lands of the Mississippi VAL
ley when once drained of their stag
nant, notwithstanding, disease-ex-
haling waters. 1t is an enterprise in
which the government may well take
an active interest.

that a minority nomination would be
unfortunate.
What nonsense! Whoever knew of
a primary election where there were
three or four candidates for the same
Office that the nominee came out with
majority Of the votes cast? But
did that fact weaken the party? Not
at all. In the primary the people vot-
ed their personal choice, and in the
general election they voted for the
party's choice-the nominee. All
this talk that nobody but Clark or
Folk at the head of the ticket can hold
Missouri for the Democrats is the
veriest rot, and was started by enc
mics disguised as friends for the pur-
pose of creating dissension and divi-
sion in the party ranks. Any good,
true, honest man and straight DEM
ocrat for Governor, on a ticket with
equally good men for the other Of
fees, can carry the State, for Missou-
ri is naturally Democratic. If such
a ticket can't win, neither could one
with Clark or Folk as leader. DEM
ocrats are only discrediting them
selves by thus fouling their own nest.

Says former President Taft, 1.-THE
Republican party win be maintained
as a Republican party; it will not be-
come a progressive party, with the
fads and isms contemplated by the
changes" To be sure, you are right,
Mr.. Taft. The Republican party is
reactionary, it is always looking
backward, it has no forward gait, it
is non-constructive, anything new
bulges out its eyes like those of hill
billy at a circus. Become progressive?

The land slides in the Culebra dis
trict of the Panama Canal into the
big ditch have given much trouble
since the canal was opened. For sew
eral months transit through the canal
has been stopped and the work OF
dredging has been going on. A COM
mjttee of experts in engineering, ge-
ology, seismology and photography
was recently sent to Panama by the
government to inquire into condi-
tons. Some of the members have
returned, and while their report to
the government has not yet been made,
their opinion of conditions in the Ca
nal zone is encouraging. "Only the
application of engineering skill is
necessary to prevent occurrences of
the slide," they say.

tons aliens who have mostly been
brought here to take the places of
American laborers. They are segre-
gated to themselves, have little or no
opportunity to learn the nature of
our government, and cannot grasp the
difference between liberty and lawless
license. No longer under the re-
straints that surrounded them in their
native monarchies, when they don't
get what they demand of their en-
ployers, urged on by reckless and sin
lister leaders, they begin to burn and
pillage Unfortunately.
Such foreigners are of little or no
benefit to our country. They will
never make good citizens because
they are huddled together, do not mix
with our people and have no opportun-
ity to learn or absorb the duties of
citizenship under a republican form
of government, and few of them have
any desire to learn or appreciation
of our institutions that give them
larger freedom and better opportun-
tiles than they ever dreamed of in
heir native lands.
But we have this class of people in
all our large manufacturing and min
ing centers-we have them here in
I
the Lead Belt-and their presence is
the result of big corporations in this
country having them first imported
here under contract to take the places
of American laborers and overstock
the labor market, at the same time
yelling for the high tariff and pro-
lection to American labor against the
"pauper labor" of Europe. The peo-
pie who benefited by this ill-advised
contract system of immigration have
frequently reaped its results, but al
ways, as in the case of the East
Youngstown horror, peaceable citi-
zens have suffered from their lawIess
riotings, and American citizens in
the militia are called from their
homes and business to hold them in
check.

THE YOUNGSTOWN RIOT

Six thousand alien strikers at East
Youngstown, Ohio, a few days ago
turned themselves into a riotous,
plundering, incendiary mob, burning
houses, robbing stores and assaulting
fremen who were trying to put out
the fires. The State militia had to
be called out to quell the rioters. The
losses from fire and robbery amount
ed to more than $1,50O,OOO.
Youngstown has a population Of
between 10000 and 1900, and it is
said that there are only about 900 vot-
ers among them. That means that
the laborers Of the Steel Sheet and
Tube Company are with few excep-

We have heard much Of late as to
whether or not different announced
candiatees for Governor of Missouri
are of "gubernatorial size. We have
heard SO much of late, in fact, as to
"gubernatorial size" that it is now
approaching very near unto our
nerves. What is the mental differ
ence between a good Governor and
any ordinary good citizen. The dis
tinction is so infinitesimal as to be
indescribable to the ordinary mind
All that is necessary to make a man
of "gubernatorial size" is good in
tellect and deep-rooted, common hon.
esty. There is no need for any spe-
cial genius, nor of towering intellect
in the Governors chair. All the ex-
pert opinion that the Governor may
need is always at his beck and call
The Times editor inspected all the
Exhibits" for Governor of Missouri
at the recent st. Louis meeting, and
we are ready to risk our reputation
as prophet on the positive state
iment, that any and every one Of the
candidates who were there displayed
are of "gubernatorial SIZE" insofar
at least, as their mentality is con-
cerned. No need to waste any fur.
Their time in looking for gubernatoria
liability" Gubernatorial Honesty
is far more rare. Seek that first, anc
"other things will we added unto you.

CHOOSING DELEGATES

"The plank adopted at the Demo-
cratic Convention at Baltimore con-
corning the election of national dele
gates was a suggestion and is not
mandatory" says Chairman D. F.
McCombs of the National Democratic
Committee. II doubt" says he, eff
delegates elected in primary, where
no provision is made in the States
primary law, would be seated by the
convention" This decision was made
by Chairman McCombs because of the
attitude of the Arkansas State DEM
ocratic Committee which had declar-
ed that delegates must seek nomina-
ton in a primary, Notwithstanding
that States primary law makes no
provision for the election of delegates
to the national convention nor of
committeeman.
In fact, few if any of the States
have primary laws that make provi-
sion for the election of delegates to
national political conventions. The
idea is new one, and wgs adopted by
the Baltimore Convention as evidence
that the party favored that mode OF
electing delegates, but the proper
State primary election provision must
first be made before legal election
for such purpose could be held.
Take the primary election law of
Missouri for instance. 1t not only
makes no provision for the election of
delegates to national political con-
ventions, but it must be held in Au-
gust of each year, whereas the Dem
ocratic National Convention is called
to meet in st. Louis on June 14th. So
that delegates could not be elected
under that law.
If the holding of party primary to
elect delegates were ordered by the
State Committee of any party, and
the practice were sanctioned by the
National Committee of that party, it
would have to be held under regula-
tons adopted by the National Com
mittee and not under legal restraint.
Besides, the expense of conducting
such primary would have to be met
by the party and not by the State,
which means that the candidates
would have to be assessed to meet
that expense-an exaction to which
few aspiring to be delegates would
be able or willing to submit.
1t follows then that the delegates
to both the Democratic and Republi-
can Conventions in this State at least
will be chosen under the old rules or
custom-by convention. The Demo-
cratic method is that all delegates
at-large and district-are elected by a
State Convention-the four delegates
at large by vote of the whole conven-
ton, and the thirty-two district dele
gates by the delegates of the State
Convention of each representative dis
trict. The Republican method has
been for the State Convention to
elect the delegates at large, and sep
arate District Conventions in each of
the districts to elect their district del
egaes.
