rust, danger pest to forests, which

COMMISSION CITY RULE
A WORTHY PROPOSITION

Concentration of power and cor
responding concentration of respon-
sibility--this is one of the good points
of the commission form of municipal
government, as explained by Prof. w.
}, Shepard, of the political science de-
partment of the University Of Missou-
ri, at recent meeting of the Column
bia Commercial Club. Mr.. Shepard is
former city councilman in Columbia.
The rise of the commission form
of government in the United States
was sketched by Prof. Shepard. Since
the Galveston food, when commission
ers took charge of the business of
Galveston and conducted it more eff
GENTLY than the Mayor and Council
had, there has been steady increase
in commission government. There are
now more than 800 cities under com
mission or city-manager plan, a va
ration of the commission form.
II am not propaganda" Prof.
Shepard said, "but l think the new
form of city government is worthy of
the serious consideration of the voters
of any municipality"

SEES "A DIVINE FIGURE
IN ADDRESS BY WILSON

Rev. DR.. B. A. Abbott, pastor of the
st. Louis Union Avenue Christian
Church, says the Republic, in his adj
dress last Sunday said he could see
"a Divine figure" looking through a
recent speech by President Woodrow
Wilson. DR.. Abbott said:
"The appeal of the Master was the
appeal of spiritual earnestness. This
is the call of the hour.
In the recent great speech of the
President, in some sentences the
greatest of all his public utterances
classic, brilliant, statesmanlike, he
declared that all our moral ideals are
being tested out today.
And | for one could see a Divine
figure looking through them, which
seemed to say that all moral power
and achievement must be based on
Christ. There can be no doubt that
the relief of all the distresses of the
world is potentially in Christianity"

to persist in standing committed to
its policy of militarism-w | con-
slider a blot on its supreme example of
national progress--chills my heart
and puts a shadow on my admiration
Of the achievements Of that great En-
pire.
'The same feeling Of repulsion
moves me when ! reflect upon what
England, the proud home Of nv an
cestors, is doing in promoting what the
world calls navalism. cannot escape
the conviction that both have been
equally guilty of offense against the
peace and wellbeing of mankind. Not
long ago there was world movement
for disarmament. Germany stood in
the way of military disarmament and
England in the way of naval disarm-
ament. These two great European
nations pointed at each other and
each sought to justify its policy be-
cause of the attitude of the other. And
nothing was accomplished.
IF ever we are attacked and threat
ened with serious danger from abroad
it will not be from an invading army
but from some naval power SO super
Tor to our own as to make us HELPLESS
and our condition pitiful. Therefore,
until the world agrees to a substan-
tial disarmament on both land and
sea-especially on the seas--I shall
insist that this nation so powerful and
yet so weak, so opulent and yet so
poor-shall utilize its great resources
in developing plan of preparedness
that will secure protection to our peo-
pie at home and make the honor of
our nation safe beyond peradventure
anywhere in the world"

Burks and Hobbs
Will Soon Be Here


Evangelists Burke and Hobbs have
done more in religious way for the
uplift of Southeast Missouri than any
other two men. They came into this
State about six years ago. Their first
meetings were in the extreme south
eastern part, at Kennett and Caruth-
ersville. They gradually moved north

paigns at Campbell, Maiden, New
Madrid, Charleston, Sikeston, Dexter.
Poplar Blu, Doniphan, Thayer, West
Plains, Eminence, Piedmont, Ironton,
Chaffee, Jackson, Flat River, Lead
wood, Bonnie Terre, Festus and st.
Louis. These meetings have not on
ly been the means of bringing thou
sands of people into the Kingdom of
God, but they have had much to do in
molding sentiment for civic and no
litical righteousness and against the
open saloon and corrupt politics. Sew
eral counties in this section have gone
dry as a direct result of their reviv-
al work. Eternity alone can reveal
the great good that shall vet come
from the religious zeal and enthusi-
asm set in motion by these men who
are on fire for God.
They have just closed great meet
ing at Herculaneum, Mo-, where more
than two hundred souls have been
saved. Hereulaneum is the smelling
town of the Bonnie Terre Lead Co. 1t
has about 5000 population and is sit
uated on the bank of the Mississippi
river, about thirty-fve miles south of
st. Louis. At the present site of
Herculaneum, 100 years ago a Meth
odist preacher, having crossed the
river in small boat, stood in his
boat and preached to the people on
the land the first Methodist sermon
ever preached in the territory which
is now the State of Missouri. Prot

THE TIMES WAS IN ERROR

A Times reporter last week got the
impression from talking with Chas.
Adams that he had determined to ac-
cept the appointment Of City Marshal
and had therefore definitely decided
not to enter the race for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Sheriff at the
coming primary election.
In subsequent talk with Mr..
Adams, however, we discovered that
the reporter was in error in stating
that he had determined not to enter
the race for Sheriff. On the other
hand, owing to the apparently inn
proved condition of Mrs. Adams
health, he has now practically decided
that he viii enter the race for the

he said. ITO my thinking that would
be wild extravaganza without any pos
sible corresponding public benefit.
The war this country needs to prepare
against is the commercial war on the
seas that will follow peace.
81 do not know what the outcome of
the struggle in Europe will be, but if
the Germanic powers are crushed
Great Britain, commercially speaking,
will dominate the seas more than be-
fore. Those of you who have kept
track of the commercial conference
being held between the Entente AL
lies should pause to inquire where our
manufacturers, merchants and pro-
ducers will find themselves if Great
Britain should undertake to recoup
her war losses and rebuild her shat
tered fortunes by taking control of
the worlds commerce.
"On the other hand, should the
Germanic Powers come forth as vic
tors, the situation would be relative
ly the same. If the end there should
be drawn war, would it not follow
that there would be a sufficient mu-
tuality Interest in dealing with
commercial questions SO as to recu-
perate and rebuild at the expense Of
neutrals, especially the United
States?"
Insists on Shipping Bill
Senator Stone said he would insist
on the consideration of the shipping
bill as soon as the army and navy
bills were out of the way.
"Of late great deal has been said
about militarism in Germany and ma
valism in Great Britin," continued the
Senator. II think it pertinent at this
