BURLINGTON SURVEYORS
HERE REGARDING EXTENSION

Surveyors Of the Burlington rail-
r ad ale in this city re-surveying
the proposed connection of the Bur
lington from Francis with the Wabash
line as it passes through this city.
This plan has been n Of those con-
sidered by the road 10 supplant the
former plan of building direct from
here north.
The surveyors say they are only
going over the former survey and
that they know nothing Of when the
proposed change will be made. The
Moberly Monitor recently published
a story concerning the Burlington
h wing quite a large number of rails
stored in that v~icinity to be used on
the extension Of the road from that
city. II the extension is NOS made
from here the report is that the line

over the Wabash tracks and the ex-
tension start from there.
A number Of different surveys have
been made and at various times re-
ports have developed that work wouli
start on one Of the projects within a
short TINE. These reports eventually
proved to be without any foundation.

PATTERSON PLEADS FOR
NATIONAL PROHIBITION

we need a rebaptism in the old
time love Of country" said Malcolm
II. Patterson, in his address on the
Heart Of the Nation" at the Chau-
sauqua Sunday afternoon. While
we grow larger in mind we have
grown smaller in heart, and localism
has supplanted Nationa'ism in or
country"
In speaking Of the question of pre-
paredness Mr.. Patterson said: at is
the fundamental duty of this country
to prepare. The idea that prepared
ness will throw US into war is as pre-
p%osterous as the assumption that an
efficient police force will caue crime
or a we'll equipped fire department
will cause fires. 1t is a known fact
that the least prepared nations are
the ones who suffer most from war.
"a government ceases to be a gov
eminent when it ceases to care for
the lives and property under its pro
lection. America has never carried
on a war of aggression and never
will, but it is her duty to prepare I'M
til the other powers of the world feel
the same way"
Mr.. Patterson expressed himsef as
in favor of compulsory military train
ing for all young men of the country
"one out of every three young men
Of this country is either foreign born
or the son Of foreign parents and a
system Of universal military training
is the very best means to assimilale
these foreign elements" he said.
Every child is entitled to an edu-
cation" said Mr.. Patterson. in speak
ing Of the duties of the nation toward
children. mo matter how poor the
child is, he has the right to an educa-
ton. The mills and factories are lit
tie better than the jails and peniten-
tiary for the children Of this coun-
try"
Mr.. Patterson spoke strongly in
-aver Of a national prohibition mea-
ure. Take the flag from the salooa
and from the brewery and wrap II
around the homes of this country
was his plea. 81 know the LIQUOR
traffic is wrong and you know it and
the government knows it. The ques-
ton is, have we the virtue and
strength 10 eradicate a national evil
The liquor traffic is a challenge to the
Christian patriotism of the country
woman suffrage is right" declar.

BOTH PARTIES WILL HAVE.
PROMINENT SPEAKERS HERE.

While the visit Of Charles E,
Hughes, Presidential nominee, to
Kansas City, and St Louis, will in re-
atty open the G. O. P. campaign in
Missouri, the formal campaign opea-
ings by both the Democrats and Re
pubilcans will not be until about the
middle Of September. Both parties
are planning for a six weeks cam
paign and 10 concentrate most Of the
oratory and work in rhat time.
Both parties will maintain h=ir
state headquarters and conduct the
campaign out Of ST. Louis The
speakers bureau will be operated
from there, and all the literature seut
over the state from the headquarters
there. Headquarters viii be main
tanned by both parties in Kansas City
later in the campaign, but they viii
be subsidiary to the st. Louis head
quarters.
Both state chairmen now are busy
getting their headquarters forces
ready for the battle. Judge james
Cowgils the Democratic chairman.
is largely drawing upon the state Of
fees in jefferson City for assistance.
Campaign speakers Of national re-
pute viii come to Missouri. 1t is
is known the Democrats besides an
expected visit to St. Louis by Presi-
dent Wilson in September, are ex-
pecting at least three membe, of the
Cabinet to tour the state.
The Hughes tour across the state
will be followed in September by d
speaking trip by Charles Warren
Fairbanks, the Vice-Presidential NOM
inee. Mr.. Fairbanks, according to
present plans, will not visit Kansas
City, but entering the state at ST.
Louis, take a tour across the state by
Springfield and Joplin, going from
there into Oklahoma. Walter s.
Dickey, Senatorial Nominee. and Ja-
cob L. Babler, the national commit
teeman, are now in the East arrang-
ing for Republican orators of national
reputation to visit Missouri.

MUSIC As Foop.

WHY should VI worry and concern
ourselves Of the high cost Of living as
long as there are free band concerts,
pianos, victrolas and other sources Of
provender. This is tho thought O;
Prof. Stevens. Of Chicago, who pub
Ideally portrays food as the true Atm
ity Of music and then proceeds to ex-
plain himself thusly:
The music Of the oboe is acid, like q
lemon, says he. "The flute is crystal
sugar, SO sweet; the cello like COOL
coffee: the clarinet reminds Of well
sEeetencd grape juice (boy, get Nj.
Bryan a trimming CLARINET; the violin
b feyerishly intoxicating like claret
fAh, the madness Of ciaret!) and tn
saxaphone is usually as stimulating a.
~buttermilk."

So, If you are right up to date, whgI,
your hostess offers you a dish Of
picked fish and ice cream you viii
roll your eyes dreamily and say:
"Ah, what a delicious Strauss
stew"

"ALCoHoL is HEATS ALLY"

CHICAGO, August "a. - That SO
per cent Of the cases of heat prostra-
tions are due to the use of alcohol IS
the conclusion of physicians at the
county Hospital here, who have been
making a study of the problem this
summer. DR.. Karl Meyer, medical
warden of the hospital, and DR.. Harry
Gauss base their report on the study
of 155 cases cared for in the recent
hot weather.
"A Ease of heat prostration without
an alcohol breath seems a rarity

are being showered with e~ongratula-
tons by all who have seen the paa
geant and other displays at the Ham
ilton 125th anniversary celebration

tainly deserve the highest eredit for

best celebration in the history of this
city.
They seem to be everywhere at
once and are always on hand when

solved on when trouble ccurs
Mr.. Marks made a speech last night
and proved hat he is not only the
living image of William Jennings
Bryan but also an orator of ability
almost equal to that of the ex-Sec.
rotary Of State.
Both men have made many friends
during their stay here, and have won
general approval for the business like

.OpIE READ HERE; He
GOES AFTER Mr.. HUGHES

opie Read, one Of the famous lit
arv men. was in Mexico Wednesday
night. He spoke at the ChautauqdA
Friday afternoon. Mr.. Reed is
one of a score Of leading wri-
tiers and publieists Of this country
who are using newspaper space, ae-
eording TO their statement, in behalf
Of atrue Democracy and asking Can
date Hughes some embarrassing
questions in a contention entitled
"Deeds VS.. Talk. Mr.. Hughes has
given them no answer.
In their address to Mr.. Hughes
among other things. they say:
without intent to offend, we feel
justified in charging that in no single
public ~uttcrance have you filed a bona
ide bill of particulars, nor have you
offered . single constructive sugges-
ton"
They then ask him the following
questions;
1. Would you have filed instant
protest against the invasion Of Bel.
GUM and backed up that protest with
the United States Navy!
2. 1t is arrant nonsense to talk
about action that would have pre-
vented the Lustitania tragedy. The
vague advertisement did not appear
until shortly before the hour of sail
ing. The occurrence was one of those
things that civilization has made the
world regard as incredible. The only
honest question is this: Would you
have made the disaster the subject Of
diplomatic negotiations or would you
have broken relations with Germany
at once?
3. Would you have urged upon
Congress an embargo upon the ship
ment of munitions to the allies?
4. Would you urge universal COM
pulsory military service?
-. You are frank in stating that
Huerta's morals were of no concern to
America. Does this mean that you
would have recognized Huerta?
6. As matters stand today, would
you be in favor of Intervention in
Mexico?
Z. Does your attack upon the Viii
son shipping bill mean that you are
in favor of ship subsidies?
s. You speak enthusiastically Of
the rights of the worker. Does this
imply that you endorse the Clayton
Anti-Tru Law and the Seaman's
Bill? Or will you urge their repeal?
8. What are your specific comp.
plants against the Federal Reserve
Law?
10. As Governor of New York.
you opposed the Income Tax Amend.
ment. Does this antagonism persist?
DO you or do you not believe in pay
ing for preparedness out of a tax on
incomes, inkeritances and munitionsl
We agree with you that it is d
"critical period" by far too critical
indeed, for candidates TO talk ~
terms of office seeking rather than in
the simple, earnest language of de.
finite Americanism.
