Washington, April 20-The following
is President Wilson's address to Congress
on the submarine controversy with Ger
many:
Gentlemen of the Congress- A situa-
ton has arisen in the foreign relations
of the country of which it is my plain
duty to inform you very frankly,
sIt viii be recalled that in February,
1915, the imperial German government
announced its intention to treat the wa
ters surrounding Great Britain and Ire
land as embraced within the seat of war
and to destroy all merchant ships owned
by its enemies that might be found with
in any part of that portion of the high
seas, and that it warned all vessels, of
neutral as well as of belligerent owner
ship to Keep out of the waters it had
thus prescribed or else enter them at
their peril.
"The government of the United States
earnestly protested. 1t took the position
that such policy could not be pursued
without the practical certainty of gross
and palpable violations of the law of ma
tions, particularly if submarine craft
were to be employed as its instruments.
inasmueh as the rules prescribed by that
law, rules founded upon principles of hui
mainly and established for the protee-
tion of the lives of non-combatants at
sea, could not in the nature of the case

We have undertaken these many years

WILBUR JERMAN INJURED

While diving in Silver Greek Friday
afternoon, Wilbur Jerman plunged to
the bottom OF the creek and struck hs
head on a rock, making an ugly gash
which required two stitches to draw to-
gether. Climbing a fir tree the lad
made one successful plunge at dis
tance of about thirty five feet, but tho
second attempt was not SO successful
He came to the surface calling for
help and Harry Armstrong drew aim
safely to shore The lad was nervy
throughout the ordeal and is recovering
nicely from his narrow escape from
death. .-Silverton Appeal.

The seas were not broad enough TO
keep the infection of the conflict out
of our own politics. The passions and
intrigues of certain active groups and
combinations of men amongst us who
were born under foreign flags injected
the poison of disloyalty into our own
most critical affairs, laid violent
hands upon many of our industries,
and subjected us to the shame Of
divisions of sentiment and purpose in
which America was contemned and
forgotten. 1t is part Of the business of
this year of reckoning and sentiment

WAGE EQUALITY
Give the M. r. & B. T. EN-
ployes a Fair Deal
To the Editor of The Tines

To the Editor of The Tines
Is there anyone in the Lead Belt
district who does not know that the
M. r. & B. T. Ry. was built by the
st. Joe Lead Company, and that it
is part and parcel of that great cor
poration, although operating under a
different name?
Yes, and what's more, it is a posi-
tive fact that the employees of both
the st. Joe Lead Company and the NJ.
R. & B. T. Railway Company are paid
out of the same hopper. The pay
roll of both corporations is drawn from
the same source of revenue.
But here's the rub--This pay roll
is not on an equal footing, so far as
its distribution is concerned.
Why?
Simply because the employees of the
Lead Company are being favored by
the high-collar officers Of that cor
poration and ofthe M. R. & B. T, for
don't you know the Lead Company
employees receive every pay day now
a bonus of 10 per cent of their wages
over the regular scale of wages?
Do the M. R. & B. T. employees get
any bonus?
Not that anybody ever heard Of,
and yet, in my opinion, so long as
they are part of the same corporation
as the Lead Company employees, they
are as much entitled to the present
prosperity bonus, as they call it, as
are the Lead Company employees.
/ think the bonus for the Lead
Company employees is just and right,
but also think the boys who work
on the section gangs and in all other
departments of the M. R. & B. T. have
right to get cut of this juicy pros
perity lemon.
/ only mention all this to show how
easy it is sometimes to overlook the

At the earnest solicitation of promi-
nent st. Louisans, President Wilson, in
his speaking itinerary, has consented
to stop over in st. Louis on the morn
ing of February Sd. He and his party
will be given a public breakfast at the
Planters Hotel, and the President has
promised to deliver a speech. He is al
so scheduled to speak at the Coliseum
at 10 o'clock. The Coliseum meeting
will be non-partisan and open to the
public, and will be under the auspices
of the Business Mems League, which
will be host to the President during
his short stay in the city. His speech
will be largely devoted to the prepar-
edness defense appeal and much in
terest is manifested in what he has to
say on this most prominent public is
sue. The Presidents visit will doubt
less attract many from this and ad-
jacent sections of st. Louis to see

NEWS" WAS PREMATURE

A Times reporter this week inter-
viewed Prof. G. W. Moothart in re-
gard to the authenticity of the state
ments ascribed to him, in last weeks
News, and found that his reported in
terview in that paper was entirely
incorrect and inaccurate. He had
not so much as indicated anything on
which to base the statement that he
would be candidate for Congress
from this district at the approaching
election.
Prof. Moothart, first of all, is a
Democrat; he is also a full-sized man,
who is always ready to live up to
party principles, as he sees and feels
such principles. He believes that it
often becomes necessary for personal
ambitions to be sacrificed in the in
terest of party welfare, and such is
exactly his position in regard to the
Congressional race in this District at
the present time. Should the situa-
ton clarity itself in way to indi-
cate to Prof. Moothart that he should
run, then he would gladly enter the
race, but before such Qualification
takes place he positively is not in the
race this year.

Col. John T. Boone, a native Of
Missouri and descendant of the pion-
eer Daniel Boone, died at his summer
home in Neponset, Long Island, on
the 24inst. He was one of the best
known life insurance men in the coun-
try and was associated for forty years
with the New York Life. Since sew
ering his connection with that COM
pany he has devoted his later years
to the establishing and upbuilding of
several new companies. He and DR..
E. G. Simmons, formerly of Farming
ton, were associated together as fis-
cal agents of the Pan-American Life
Insurance Company of New Orleans,
of which DR.. Simmons is now Vice
President and General Manager, in
the institution of that company. The
Colonel was a man who ingratiated
himself into the confidence and good
graces of men Of every calling, was
possessed of large generous ma
ture and was an interesting and gen
ial companion. Though for some
years he has been semi-invalid, to
the last he was all nerve, energy and
push. The writer is glad to have
known him, and extends sincere SYM
pathy to his bereaved wife.

Governor Major last Tuesday decid-
ed to withhold all appropriations for
buildings and improvements at State
institutions, only maintenance, sup
;port or salary accounts will be paid.
This action was necessary because of
the very large over-appropriations
made by the last General Assembly,
so far exceeding the revenues Of the
State that large deficit would oc-
cur if it were attempted to carry out
the improvements for which the Leg
islature voted appropriations. The
Warrensburg State Normal School
will be one of the greatest sufferers,
as its buildings were burned last win
ter, and the $25O,O0O appropriated for
it, or the greater part of it, cannot
be met. The same is true of the
100000 appropriated for new struc-
lures at the Colony for Feeble Mind
ed at Marshall, and $65,000 for an
intermediate prison building at the
Boys Reformatory at Bonneville. All
of the State institutions are more or
less effected.

Might Riders" Trials at New
Madrid Come to Sudden Close

The trials of 81 alleged "Night
Riders" which has been in progress
at New Madrid for the past two
weeks, came to sudden close last
Tuesday, when the prosecution con-
sented to dismiss the charges against
four of the defendants, and to let 50
others plead guilty and take paroles.
This action disposed of all but one of
the outstanding cases, and it will
probably be adjusted on the same ba-
sis.
This unexpected turn of events,
which looked almost like a collapse
on the part of the prosecution, came
after Rice A. Pierce, counsel for most
of the accused men, had obtained the
first acquittal, that of John Allen, by
speech in which he denounced the
land barons of the Citizens Commit
tee, who were backing the prosecu-
tions, and their methods of dealing
with their tenants.
Following the Allen acquittal, a
conference took place between Judge
mccarthy, Prosecuting Attorney Small
ley and Attorney Pierce. Then the
surprise came, when 33 of the defend
ants were led in from jail, and heard
their lawyer plead guilty for them
to the charge of common assault, COM
mitted the night Of Nov. 90 last, on
private detectives. The charge Of as
sault with intent to kill, in the attack
on M. R. Addison, Nov. 5, was dis
missed in all the cases.
The men were sentenced to terms of
six months each in the penitentiary,
and were Immediately paroled on good
behavior. The time during which
they had been incarcerated was or
dered taken off their terms, in case
any of them should break his parole
and have to go to prison, and the
State agreed to pay all costs.
Four other cases were dismissed on
an order of nolle pros, and George
and Dan Ryals, who have lately been
on trial, were permitted to plead gull
ty and be paroled. They disposed of
all the cases but that of Noah Willo-
by, whose jury recently disagreed,
after being out so hours. An adjust
ment in this case is expected.
The IL who last week pleaded gull
ty and took terms of two years each,
and the six who were convicted and
sentenced to terms of two to five
years each, will have to serve their
terms unless Judge McCarty paroles
some of them. These, with Allen
who was acquitted, and others who
were being used at States witnesses,
make up the list of 81 defendants.
Judge Talks to Men
Judge mccarthy made a short talk
to the men, addressing them in groups
of dozen or so. "You are free to
go home and live the lives of good
citizens" he said. "The slate is wip-
ed clean. Hereafter when you have a
grievance against your employers, go
to them and talk it over. Remember
that the laws of this country are too
great to be overthrown by any band
of men. We have law that is based

The Republican papers that were so
clamorous over that mythical "school
fund loot" are not having much to
say on the subject just now. Perhaps
they don't want their readers to know
what a deceptive little game they
were trying to pull off. Why, since
the State school moneys entirely dis
appeared during the old Draconian
regime, and the Democratic party
came into control of the State in
1870, it has created or reereated our
entire public school system, and has
ever been mindful of its best inter-
ests.
