SOUNDS "FISHY"

Considerable notice has been given
of late to marine torpedo which is
so constructed that its movements are
guided by the sound waves issued
from the vessel serving as its target.
This strange device is described in
the December Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. The instrument is equipped
with so-called mechanical ears. Be-
fore the weapon is launched, the lat
ter are tuned to received the vibrations
produced by the specific craft that is
the object of attack. With this rela-
tionship established, the torpedo pro-
pellor whirls and the rudder adjusts
itself so that the missile darts through
the water at its enemy. Its speed is
twice that of the fastest naval vessel,
while any change in the enemy's
course causes it to shift its direction
to travel correspondingly. If its ap-
proach is observed and the engines Of
the vessel are stopped, the torpedo's
propeller also ceases revolving and
the instrument submerges safely out
of reach. 1t ascends and continues
the pursuit when the engines in the
ship are again started.

65-POUND TURTLE CAUGHT
IN CURRENT RIVER

Arthur Steck brought a 65-pound
turtle to the Cape yesterday morning
on his arrival from the southern part
of the State. Mr.. Steck, who is brake
man on the Frisco railroad, bought
the turtle from a fisherman who
caught it in the current river.
The tortoise, which was very much
alive, was brought to the Cape in a
box car, it's legs being chained to the
wall. 1t was hauled to the saloon OF
John Herbst at Good Hope and Fred.
erick streets, where it will be reduced
to soup tomorrow.
The big shellback, who had lost It's
pleasant disposition by the box cal
ride to the Cape, was hankering for
battle when it was unloaded at Coco
Hope and Frederick. When the time
came for the execution, volunteers
were asked for. After some persua-
sion, Boas Frissell agreed to assist
John Herbst in preparing the turtle
for soup.
AS soon as the tortoise saw Herbst
it opened its mouth and attempted to
clip off one of the saloonman's lower
extremeties but he got away. While
the turtle was chasing "Hoppy" Boas
Frissell seized an ak ard struck il
just back of the head, which stunned
the monster and before it could re-
gain its equilibrium, its head was

BIOLOGISTS HUNT FOR
FOSSILS IN CAPE co,

Cape Rock was a stamping ground
for fossils Sunday afternoon and yes
terday. Prof. D. X. Gregor of the
department of geology of the Univer-
sity of Missouri and F. A. Samson
photographer of the Missouri Histor-
ical Society visited there and carried
away about $50 pounds of various
specimen fossils that will be used in
the scientific laboratories at Columbia
Both men are authorities on geol-
ogy and the latter is a scientist who
is known probably better in Eastern
scientific centers and in Europe than
he is right in his home State.
The men gathered the specimens
that they wish to use by picking them
from the face of exposed rocks and
by getting them out of the ground.
A study of the fossils they have gath
cred will reveal the character of the
plant and animal life that prevailed in
this section of the world many hun
dreds of years ago.
Both men departed from the Cape
yesterday afternoon to go to St.
Mary's where they will conduct scien-
tifc expeditions up both the Little
and Big Saline valleys.
Mr.. Samson recently gave collec-
tion of shells and geological speci-
mems all valued at $4,000 which it
took him a lifetime to gather to-
gether, to the State. He has had

WHAT THEY THINK OF HIM

We heard much from the Republi-
can press and speakers during the
campaign of how President Wilson's
foreign policy had discredited the ma
tion abroad, of his "spineless" atti-
tude in dealing with the delicate in
ternational questions thrust upon him
by the European war, of how he had
fallen short of maintaining the dig
nifty, honor and respect of the nation,
and much more to the same effect.
The campaign is over, Mr.. Wilson
has been reelected, and now come
some echoes from the old world tell
ing us what they think of Mr.. Wilson
and his work, and they ought to make
his defamers at home hang their
heads in shame.
Here is German opinion: Max
imilian Harden, writing in the Berlin
Die Zukuft, eulogizes President Will
son as "man of high moral and
spiritual rank-a man Of whom we
would be proud if we had him." add
ing, "much that is foolish and unfor-
tunately shameless has been said
about Mr.. Wilson, and his election is
hailed as one no German may belit-
tle." Further, this writer says:
"This man, so falsely regarded, so
foolishly DETAINED, looms up as no
other who is visible today" and then
he urges the public to burn ninety
nine-hundredths of "the literature
filled with rotten ignorance and de-
flaming a clean man, who is already
experienced in governing and striv-
ing with strong heart and an ear
nest will for the maintenance of a
worthy place"
And here is an English opinion
The London Daily News says OF Mr..
Wilson: ave rejoice in the election
of one of the most sagacious states
man American politics has thrown up
since Lincoln. 1t is to do something
nobler than the building of a higher
tariff wall for the American plutoc-
racy that he comes back to power. It
is to establish society Of nations
and to change the whole doctrine of
force in the world"

Lieutenant Governor Wallace
Crossley has given the Globe Demo
crat reply to its interrogation as tC
what course he favors in regard to
the reported frauds in the late cleo
tion in st. Louis. Mr.. Crossley very
aptly and appropriately replies that
if fraud can be proven then the en-
tire election in that city is fraudulent
and should be thrown out. And this
is the only logical conclusion, even
though it will perhaps put crimp in

A SPLENDID MAN


The DeSoto Press last week con-
tanned the following strong endorse
ment of G. E. Merseal as a member OF
the Board of Managers of State Hos
pital No. a. The Times heartily en-
dorses all the Press says in this re-
gard, and we feel assured that bet
ter appointment could not possibly be
made:
"The Press wants to suggest one
appointment under Governor Gard
ner's administration--C. E. Merseal
of DeSoto as a member of the Board
of Managers of State Hospital No. A,
at Pennington. Two reasons prompt
this suggestion. First, there isn't a
squarer man in the world than Ed
Merseal; his business ability is I'M
questioned and he possesses every
qualification that might be demanded
in the successful transaction of the
business of this important institution.
AS a member of the board he would
safeguard the interests of both the
unfortunates confined there, and the
State. Second, he has been in Demo
cratic harness many years and helped
pull heavy loads over rough hills
and never asked anything for himself.
He is not asking this and we don't
know that he'd accept the appoint
ment, but we do know that Jefferson
county would feel honorod if Govern
or Gardner recognizes the splendid
work that Ed Merseal has done for
the Democratic party. This "job"
carries no salary-in fact it's a "bur-
den," and the only pay is in the pleas
ure Of doing your State service
and this is the only sort of "job"
that Mr.. Merseal would accept"

RUSSELL WON'T RUN AGAIN

Congressman Joseph J. Russell, who
has just been returned to Congress
from the Fourteenth Missouri Dis
trict by the largest majority he has
ever received, confided to his friends
before leaving for Washington that
he had made his last race, and that he
would retire at the end of the term
to which he has just been elected
1t has long been thought by many
that "Joe" Russell was the one Dem
ocrat in the Fourteenth District who
could be elected to Congress, the
district being normally Republican
but Russell has represented the dis
trict for several terms, and has never
been defeated.
But during his entire congressional
experience "Joe" Russell has always
been active and alive looking after the
best interests of his district, and ii
was wholly through his Jealous ef-
forts that number of appropriations
have been secured for improvement
of the Mississippi River. He has
been most active in trying to i'm
prove conditions in his own district
and the fact that he has been sue
ceeding himself by constantly in
creasing majorities is a pretty good
indication that his constituency be-
lieve he has succeeded in this regard
He also secured larger share of the
Federal patronage for his district
perhaps, than has any other Con-
gressman. It is these real results
hat have been obtained for his old
aorne people that has so greatly en-
deared "Joe" Russell in the hearts of
his constituency. and makes his pros
pecslve retirement appear like a pos
tive calamity to them

THE SAME OLD CROUCH

The friends of prohibition must
shudder at the prospect of Mr.. Bryan
putting his hoodoo on it.-Globe-
Democrat.
Yes, but not in the same manner
that all "Standpat" Republicans are
smitten with the "buck" when they
consider that it was this same Mr.,
Bryan who was wholly responsible for
making a President out of Woodrow
Wilson. If there is any apparent
shoulders" on the part of Prohibition
lists over the thought that William j.
Bryan has taken up their fight, clos
er inspection will disclose to the
Globe-Democrat that their agitation
is caused from unbounded delight.

- Now that the election is over, the
"Dickey Silo" advertisements are
conspicuous by their absence from the
columns of Republican exchanges
They were evidently contracted for on
a contingent basis. No wonder our
Republican brethren were so anxious
for Dickey's election. 1t meant "sil-
age" for them. 1t is a bad idea, boys
to deal in futures, even though it may
have been 40 to l" shot.

WORK WELL PERFORMED

tanned the following comment on how

ton:
"In the recent campaign the Repub-
lican papers in st. Francois county
seemed to be making a special fight
against one Wells, Democratic candi-
date for Assessor. Their work pro-
duced results. Wells majority is
about 1850, while the average Demo-
cratic majority in the county is about
600"

HIS TROUBLES BEGIN

It is now we'll settled that Colonel
Frederick D. Gardners election as
Governor is effective by over 1000
plurality. No recounts and reversal
of belated returns can alter that fact,
and his troubles begin. Even before
his Inauguration he will be besieged
with petitions and personal applica-
tions for the appointive positions at
his disposal, as well as for positions
of more or less Importance which un-
der the law come within the perview
of the boards of managers Of public
institutions and commissions which
he may appoint. Doubtless all over
the State, in every county, petitions
are circulating for signers and Sin
fiuence" is being sought to be pressed
upon the Governor by eager appli-
cants.
The Governor has some important
places to fill, but there are many
more that come under the jurisdic-
ton of his boards of managers and
commissions. All or most of these
indirect appointments heretofore have
been made at the suggestion of the
Governor, and a word from him to
the members of any one of his boards
or commissions was all that was need
ed to secure a coveted position. Hence
this eagerness to besiege him with
petitions of numerous names and Sin
fiuence" for appointments, from the
burden of which he should be relieved.
He has duties and responsibilities of
larger moment than giving his time
and attention to minor appointments
which the law places in the hands Of
his boards and commissions,
Colonel Gardner is an experienced
and practical business man, who
knows that the head Of an institution
cannot attend to all the details of
business, but that these must be looked
after by his chosen agents, and he
has promised to give the people of
the State a business administration.
From hints that he has thrown out
during his canvass we do not be-
lieve he will begin by Majorizing that
administration. We are rather in
elined to the opinion that in his di-
rect appointments of boards of man.
ayers and commissions he will make
it a rule to fill them with men upon
whose judgment he can rely, and al
low them to make the appointments
for which under the law they are
constituted, without dictation or in
reference on his part. He has re-
sponsibilities enough of his own, and
we imagine that he would rather re-
lieve himself Il these minor details.
allow his bialds and commissions to
shoulder their own responsibilities, and
hold them sesponcible for the;" acts.
So, isn't latier premature and a
waste OF enLrgy for eager aspirants
to these indirect appointments to be
exercising themselves over getting
up petitions and concentrating "influ
ence" to bear upon boards and COM
missions, some of which may not be
named until considerable time after
the Governors Inauguration, and
whose personality is an unknown
quantity? Reserve your energy, boys,
and when you shoot know at what you
are aiming.

county, with 20 operating coal mines
producing annually more than 7,000,-
