EIGHTY-ONE AUTOS Il,

Hundred Elks and l2S Masons,

The largest funeral crowd that
Sikeston ever saw, yesterday after
noon followed the body of Ben +. Mar
shall from the depot to the grave. The
procession was 80 blocks long and in
it marched and rode more than two
thousand people.
Every bit of available space adjac-
ent to the station was crowded with
friends and acquaintance of the late
millionaire when the special bearing
HIS body and the funeral party from
this city reached the Scott County
metropolis.
Phil A. Hoch, the Cape Girardsau
undertaken, had made advance az
engagements for the march from the
depot to the cemetery, and the great
crowd formed in line with systematic
promptness, and the pilgrimage to tic
last resting place of the dead philaE-
thropist was quickly begun
Eighty-one automobiles were in line
Of march, and in front of these walked
12S members Of the Masonic lodges Of
Sikeston and Blodgctt, behind whom
followed almost one hundred Elks. and
every marcher carried q bouquet.
The great crowd was handled -
perfectly as if it had gone through
the procedure daily in weeks prac-
tice. And when the ceremony at the
tomb was over and the body placed
in the family vault, the crowd march

ago, Mr.. Marshall made Il liberal dona-
ton to the Christian Brothers College
to replace the buildings which were
destroyed by fire.
The services at the Marshall home
in this city were held promptly at i::h
yesterday afternoon. The crowd was
too large to be accommodated within
and many stood upon the walk in front
of the residence while the ceremony
was in progress.
Rev. Elmer Peal of St Louis, who
knew Mr.. Marshall intimately in
youth, delivered the address, which
was a tribute to the kindly character
of the dead millionaire.
After the ceremony at the home. the

WHO PAYS?

There is lesson in the life and death OF
Fred Busse, former postmaster and former
mayor of Chicago, that may well be taken to
heart by men and women throughout the states.
When Busse died it was supposed that he had
left a fortune On the contrary, when CLAIMS
were allowed and the estate settled up, there
was nothing, or near nothing. The widow IS
now working for thirty dollars a week as an
employee of the city Of Chicago. Fred Busse
was typical politician. Whom he would he
set up and whom he would he pulled down. His
word was law, and his followers rendered unto
him more than was rightfully his, and so he was
generally reputed to be enormously wealthy.
But the old rult Of easy come, easy go was again
proved All that remained to his widow when
settlement came was five thousand dollars
worth of real estate. So now she is working for
thirty dollars week for the city over which
her husband once ruled. The friends who
swarmed about Busse the mayor and Busse
the postmaster apparently were not interested
in the fate Of the widow Of the man to whom
they had bent the pregnant hinges Of the knee
The men whom Busse had put in powerful
places forgot him and his as soon as he was
dead. A few friends found work for the widow
in order to, give her an opportunity to support
herself and children. AS Busse lived SO he
died, and his family is now paying the penalty

Dancer of Indifference.

Waterloo Courier and reporter:
Whether or not the women of Iowa
are given the ballot in the June cleo
ton will depend very largely upon
whether or not they want the ballot.
The average male voter, II he
votes at all on the question of WON
an suffrage, will be nightly swayed
by the women members Of his house
hold. II they are strong for the bal
lot the chances are that he will vote
Yes" If they are opposed to it or
Indifferent he will probably vote
mo" There will be others that will
not vote on the question at all.
There is a large class OF Iowa
women who want the ballot and who
are working enthusiastically for the
larger class who hold more or less
neutral attitude towards votes for
women. They are willing to accept
suffrage if it is thrust upon them.
They would vote II women had the
ballot and the issues at stake were
of vital interest to them. Like the
average male voter they would 60 to
the polls on big occasions and would
neglect to vote on questions that in
terested them in a lesser degree.
They lack the fire and zeal Of the
crusader. They have not heard the
clarian call to woman's emancipation.
The bonds Of political enthrallment
have rested but lightly upon them.
They are still to be baptized with
the spirit of the new woman" They
are very well satisfied with things as
they are. They are content to go on
with their cooking, busting and
sweeping, afternoon card parties and
missionary meetings and to let the
men look after the affairs Of state.
They are willing to dismiss all such
matters with light gesture and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT thing-about-poli-
tics, sort of expression.
If woman suffrage Is defeated in
Iowa it will be as a result Of this
attitude of indifference. Few Iowa
women are openly opposed to suf-
frage. But if they want the ballot
they must not only favor it but de-
mand it in positive and unmistakable
terms.

LIVE AND LEARN.

It must be that President Wilson is gaining,
month by month, truer insight into Mexican
character. 1t would appear that when he en-
tered office he looked upon Carranza as whls-
kered Washington, wise and lofty soul; and
regarded Villa as half breed Bolivar, tr1fle
impetuous perhaps but a pure, unselhsh patriot
who would give his hearts blood for his people.
We should probably not be far wrong in as
Stunning that these preconceptions our scholarly
president drew from books have been sensibly
modified Up to the time of his election it does
not appear that he had contacted Mexi-
can peon closeIy-closely enough to become
aware of his proximity by an excitation of the
olfactory glands He seems to have thought OF
the Mexicans as mild and amiable Aztecs or
dreamy-eyed Mestizos just and kindly peo
pie capable Of establishing a Utopian republic,
if only they had the chance, under the guidance
of the high-minded liberators who were seeking
to bring the despotic Huerta to his knees. In
those days when ENJOYS extraordinary
were counting Villa and lavishing courteous at
tentions on Carranza how little the president
dreamed that we should soon be hunting one
of them and the other soon might be hunting
us.
Well might our president exclaim GET tn,
Brute''-in fact he might cry two brutes y
as he recalls how sedulously he sought to mag
nifty them and munition them and build them
up against the de facto president who labored
to establish order in the land. So we live and
learn-our rulers no less than the rest of us, if
they are hospitable to new ideas-and we hope
that the things our president has learned Of the
yellow and the brown men will help him heap
in the troubous times that probably are to
come, give him a truer understanding than he
has shown of the self governing capacity of the
Filipinos

ais Mr.. Wilson's Mind BreakIno?"
To the Editor of The Gate City:
1t certainly looks as though
Festus' charge to Paul was coming
true in Mr.. Wilson's case. That he
is scholar and a theorist no one
can doubt, but his enigmatical talk
in Washington before the chafrmen
of the congressional committees last
Friday and this followed by his talk
Monday afternoon before the women
of the d. A. r., certainly arouses
grave apprehension. That these sort
of confused sentiments recently ex-
pressed could have como from the
same man who made the series Of
Preparedness" addresses throughout
the central west two months ago,
seems impossible to believe.
That he should assume to take the
conduct of so grave matter as this
submarine question with Germany
out of the, hands Of his secretary OF
state and send off state paper Of
that sort without its contents being
known to anyone but himself, GER
tainly is cause for alarm. If he con-
tinues for the next two months to
make progress in that direction rs
he has done since his st. Louis speech
we believe that every intelligent man
in congress will hold his breath for
fear of coming results.

why Throw Away an EmpIre7

INV" away ~u I''F'Ss
New York Tribune: The report OF
the minority members Of the house
committee on insular affairs disposes
in few words of the latest democratic
argument for the Philippines scuttle-
that the islands should be abandoned,
because indefensible, as part Of the
preparedness program. On the same
basis of reasoning Porto Rico, the
Panama canal and Alaska would have
to go by the board, because 1t would
always be easier to give them up than
to find an army and munitions to de-
fend them If they we're attacked.
The absurdity of this line of alleg-
ed thought appears the moment the
abandonment of the Canal Zone or
Alaska Is mentioned. Even the pres
ent administration has not reached the
degree of absurdity involved in that
suggestion yet it is scarcely less rid
iculous to propose to run from the
Phflippines-yet unattacked-becaus
forsooth, some day they might be
somewhat hard to defend. being 80 far.

For those who back the vicious
Clarke proposal, one reason is Just
about as good as another. Always
there remains the question, WHY"
why throw away an empire?" queries
the San Francisco chamber OF com
merce, in connection with resolutions,
sent to both houses Of congress, de-
nouncing the scuttle. Why waste all
the money, all the human energy,
which have gone into Transforming
those islands from misruled, disease
ridden semi-savage community into i
clean, healthy, orderly colony, whose
people, under American teaching In
American schools, are we'll on the way
to civilization?
Why abandon these wards Of ours in
the Pacific for whose benefit the Unit
ed States undertook the gigantic task

aside the material advantages Of the
purchase OF the Philippines, so legit-
imately this countrys and SO import
ant to this country? Why hand over
to competitors the export business

inestimable value to this country?

ltcan members of the committee on

Wilson, for he has said he considers 1t

THE FAT GARBAGE CAN.

"The American garbage can is the latest in
all the world" This epigram, from United
States Senator Smoot, is not overdrawn truth.
But his assumption that poor management on
the part of housewives is altogether responsible
for the fairness is unj Just. If we examine the
garbage can closely we shall find not only
wasted food from the mismanaged kitchen. but
we shall find cigar stubs and other substances
that come, not from the kitchen Of housewives.
but from the locale of the male Of the family

ToDAY's BIT OF VERSE
PERSEVERANCE.

He who would endless glory reap,
Must here the word of patience keep;
That word which gives the eye to see
The glorious harvest yet to be.
The husbandman, his seed who sows.
Must wait with patience while 1t grows;
And he who would the oak uprear
Must cherish hope from year to year.

Can reach the turrets' topmost stone

Shalt own His gracious promise true
And thou shalt share their glorious lot
