WHO CAN VOTE.

"When a white democrat agrees to
stand bv the party nominees he should
be allowed to vote. Gov. Park Tram
nell. .
And so he will be, Governor. Read
those State Committee resolutions
again. please; read them carefully,
and you will agree with The News
that, stripped of verbiage, these reso-
lutions of the committee impose no
ner7 conditions of party fealty.
A democrat may belong to any, or
no church-be religious or irrellgl-
Gus; l,elong to one of ten secret So
cieties, religious or non-rellglous,
goat-ridden or goatless, or belong to
nothing more important than his lit
tie old town pressing club, and still
he good democrat, PROVIDED, the
obligations of such church, society or
club are not such as twill justify him
in refusing to support the nominee
of the party"
The News agrees with Gov. Tram
nell that the State Committee has
made a grave mistake in agitating
or making bluff at doing something
which it hasn't done, but which it has
tried to bluff some people into believ'
ing it has done.
There was nothing but words-idlt
meaningless words to those resolu
tions.
The rights of democrat remain
unimpaired; they are the same yes
terday, today and in the coming Jun
primary. It's the rule of the maJorl
tv-an agreement to, stand by tina
rule.
And now after all has been sale
and much has been said that ough
never to have been said, the pocitio
of the Democratic party is precisel
what it was before that State Com
mittee met and resoluted and mud
died the definition of democrat
rights.
Boiled down to precise Englis
, these rights can be defined thusly
"If you are white, registered as
democrat, and agree to support tn

this after his hastily written article

And so today, when the WORLD IS
IN A RIOT, when Europe is a slau-
ohter house and when the blood
the slain reddens the sea beyond the
three-mila limit-this is no time for
Americans to talk about the assertion
Of rights in such a way as to menace
the nations peace. 1t is time to con-
slider duty to country and to fellow
citizens. And, since some are either
too blind or too unpatriotlc to do TINS
it is the duty Of congress to act, ano

Mayor to Go to st. Louis in
Quest of Swans and Zoo
"ShOp- Talk"

Two wild geese yesterday were
added to the Fairgrounds Park Zoo as
the gift of the town of AllenviIle to
the city of Cape Girardeau.
The birds were presented to Mayor
kage by ". J. Meisenheimer, former
Justice of the peace and well-knoWn
banker and farmer living at Allen
vile, and by Fl. H. Hinton, banker. and
James Withers. They declared that
the geese, which will be liberated in
the plot of ground about the lake at
the park, are to be recognized as the
gift Of their entire town.
Mr.. Meiserhcimer brough the birds
to the Cape, and Mayor Rage had
them cooped in one of the hog pens
at the park. They will be liberated
in the park this morning and it is ex-
pected that they will make the park
their home. They require scarcely any
attention and will be able to subsiSt
from whatever they can find in the
park;
M. Meisenheimer told the Mayor
that before bringing the geese to the
Cape he kept them in an open field for
several days and they made no effort
to leave.
The geese are of a BLUSH color and
are large. They have had their wings
clipped so that they cannot fly. They
will take the place of swans until a
pair are obtained for the lake.
Herman Loeffel, Mayor Rage and
Councilman Jack Fowler are planning
trip to st. Louis Sunday and Will
investigate the prices of swans and
learn how they may be obtained. Mr..
Loeffel is anxious to obtain pair .
present to the city for the lake
Several other additions to the zoo
have been announced to the Mayor
recently. Ed. Ruehmann has given
the Zoo two nairs of ring doves. which
soon will be installed in cages at the
park. Gilbert NJ. Drum has offered
a pair Of rabbits
At the meeting Of the City Council
on Monday night, Mayor Rage an
ncunced that he may make a trip to
Kennett accompanied by r. b. DobsOn
with the view of inducing Drew Var
dell into sending a pair Of deer he has
to the Cape for the Zoo.
Work at the park has progressed
considerably in the last few days. The
painting at the club house has been
accepted as finished by the paint con-
tractor, William Williams. Mayor
Rage was authorized to purchase 12,-
900 to $4,000 feet of water pipes for
the park to replace pipes that have
become rusted, and he likewise was
authorized to purchase u roller from
Herman Siemers for use on the race
track and on the streets in the Cape
that need rolling.
The plans for the arrangement of
the park which are being made BY a
St. Louis landscape gardener, will be
obtained shortly, when further work
on the park will be expedited.
Councilman Arthur Bowman, who IS
in ST. Louis this week, expects to visit
the offices of the landscape gardeners
in order to obtain facts concerning
their progress with the plans.
