The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-12-29

Governor-elect Frederick D. Gard
ner will be inaugurated on Monday,
January 9Th, and if he so desires the
inaugural ceremonies may be held in
the new Capitol building. The su-
perintendent says temporary seats
can readily be arranged in the two
museum halls and in the great ro-
tunda on the Office floor, so that be-
tween 5000 and 5000 people can wit
ness the inaugural ceremonies. If
the Inauguration is held in the tenn
porary meeting place of the House of
Representatives not more than 1900
people can be crowded into it, and
there is fear that such a crowd might
cause the structure to collapse. The
suggestion to hold the inaugural cere-
monies in the uncompleted new Capt.
toll will doubtless meet with the Gov
ernor-elect's approval.

stubbornly contentious that they are
justified in relentlessly pursuing their
disastrous and destructive warfare,
and yet to the world the object of
their desired attainment is not known
nor understood. In the absence of de-
cisively stated objects by those au-
thoriezd to speak, the outside world
looks upon the whole fearful SAM
culinary struggle as a war of i'm
perial ambition, aggression and ma
tional jealousies, which have long
been kept alive like a smouldering
fire only to be famed into blaze by
the slightest breeze of provocation.
Recognizing this fact, the President
suggests in the most friendly but in
terested way, that the authoritative
spokesman of neither side have ever
avowed the precise objects for which
they are fighting, that in general
terms they seem to be the same on
both sides, and that only upon the open
declaration of these objects may a
comparison of views be reached upon
which negotiations for a peaceful adj
justment may be brought about. In
timations have come from the bellig-
erents that the Presidents plain
statements are receiving considera-
ton by those responsible for con-
tinuation of the war. What the ulti-
mate result may be cannot yet be con-
jectured, but if the representatives of
the warning nations can be brought
together to consider even in a tenta-
tive way terms upon which an agree
ment could be reached, passion might
give way to reason, and the consuma-
ton of peace be attained upon more
secure basis than the world has ever
heretofore known. Such is the pray
err of all who hope for "peace on
earth, good will toward men,"

THE PRESIDENTS PEACE NOTE

The Presidents note to the warning
nations of Europe, suggesting that an
early occasion be sought to call out
from each side an avowal of their re-
spective views as to the terms upon
which peace negotiations, may be in
stituted, at first met with considera-
BILE resentment by the foreign press,
especially that of England, but as the
impartial sincerity of the note began
TO be better understood, more toll
Grant feeling has been exhibited. The
President did not presume to offer any
plan or ground for peace negotiations,
only that the warning nations avail
themselves of an opportunity to see
if some grounds might not be found
upon which negotiations could be
begun. A "a

MISSOURI CHILDREN'S CODE

In spite of the fact that many laws
for the welfare of children have been
passed in Missouri in the last ten
years, we have hardly begun to touch
the problems of childhood.
Many of our laws are. conflicting
and their enforcement is difficult, as
no one agency in the country has the
responsibility of looking after the in
terests of children.
AS the same situation exists
throughout the United States, a ma
tional movement has been started to
have every State adopt a complete
code of children's laws.
Missouri is the first State to take
up this work actively and the code pre-
pared by the Commission offers rare
opportunity for the Legislature to do
a great service to Missouri and our
children. g
The Missouri Federation of Wo-

mems Clubs has endorsed this move
ment, their president being one of the.
Commission appointed by the Gov
ernor to forward the work. Through
the courtesy of the managers of the
Monarch, slide is being shown this
week, urging you to use your infius
ence with your legislators, that they
may pass favorably upon this Code
when it is presented in the Legisla-'
ture of 1917. "a.
Let us each make this our work;
that Missouri may stand forth among,
the States as having the best laws
for the protection of its children.

cation the Prohibition question will
be taken up in Congress. A bill to
make the District of Columbia dry
will be considered, and a resolution
providing for prohibition amendment
to the Federal Constitution will be
taten up. The Anti-Saloon League of
America claims enough votes to car

the House. but as it would take two
thirds majority to do this, the
