Kill the Referendum,

The secretary of state is quoted as
saying that IL he is officially advised
by the attorney general that referen-
dun petitions for holding up the
emergency tax measures, enacted at
the late session Of the legislature,
cannot be legally filed, he will refuse
to file them. The attorney general
has already indicated, in verbal
opinion made TO Governor Gardner,
that he will officially advise the Sec
rotary of state to refuse such filing.
The issue would then, in all probable
ity, finally reach the supreme court
in mandamus action.
II would be profitlcss TO attempt
discussion in advance what the de-
cision of the court would or should
be. All intelligent and nprcjudiced
minds are agreed that. with the state
of finance Of Missouri in their pres
ent condition. with the credit of the
state threatened with serious impair
ment, and the administrative pro-
cesses of the state government with
paralysis, the financial arrangement
perfected By Governor Gardner with
sc. Louis banks for carrying the state
IN loans, 10 be- repaid, with small in
tercst, out of the revenue receipts OF
the new taxes AMI from other sources
should be carried out. II offers the
only hope Of saving Missouri from a
public disgrace. Bringing revenue
legislation of this character 80 strong

~ a measure of public credit and 50

Of paying honest debts before the SUI
prone court, in the challenge Of a

from which patriotic and public-spir-
tied Missourians will shrink.
We believe the majority Of the rev.
cnuo laws n passed by the late Cen
cral Assembly are good ones and need
full ones. and our readers should re-
fuse to sign referendum petitions n
to many Of these, but the one Great
ing the tax commission should be
signed and heartily 80, for without
question, Il Is one of the most per-

ed on the statutes books of this state.

WILSON CONTRIBUTES
TO RED CROSS POT
Donation of Precious Metal Goes
to Help Democracy Over
come KaiSeriSm.

There's a melting pot for the Red
Cross in Washington and Its latest
contributor is President Wilson. He
has directed through devious channels
that a contribution of precious metal
''to help democracy overcome kaiser
ism" should be placed in the pot The
contribution came to the White House
and 1t consisted of a small envelope of
tiny platinum filaments-f1ve times or
more the value of so much gold-taken
out of electric light bulbs by the doner
with much patience. He did not know
where to send it and therefore put 1t
up to the presto ent, as many other
Americans who have problems they do
not know how to solve.
The president sent the contribution
to the artillery ammunition section,
gun division, office of the chief of ord
nance, United States army. Thence
it was transmitted to the American
Red Cross, which in turn sent it on
to the District of Columbia branch of
the Red Cross, next going into the Red
Cross melting pot.
The donor is George A. Dressed, a
postman of Salem, o.

WOMEN OF CHICAGO
TRY TO DO Their BIT"

paCitieS for Salaries Men

Wars demands for women in indus
try are meeting a ready response, but
the trouble is too many women want
to be generals and there are not
enough privates to go around.
This, at least, is the conclusion of
officials in charge of the women's bu-
Feaus of employment agencies in Chi
cago. Women who are willing to work
in executive capacities for salaries
that most men would consider NUM-
ficent are plentiful, but applicants for
just plain jobs are scarce around the
employment agencies.

A woman from a farm in Michigan
appeared a few days ago and speci-
fed her qualifications for the sort of
position she wanted. She was sure
of her ability to manage a law office
and if emergency demanded she could
boss several hundred girls in a fac
tory. She would not accept salary
of less than $50 a week, however.
The position of diplomatic buyer for
the government at salary of $50 per
week was just suited to the talents
of one applicant. This was the low
est salary she would accept and even
then opportunities for promotion must
be rapid.

OLD ICE FOUND
It Was Formed Many Years Ago, But
Coal Companies May Dig IL Up.

lt Was Formed Many Years Ago, But
Coal Companies May Dig II Up.
Ice that formed in the winters Of
the sixties and seventies is being I'M
covered by coal companies of Hazel
ton, Pa, in running the culm banks of
the region through the breakers to
meet the demand for anthracite Gre
ated by the war.
This is especially noticeable at the
big Cranberry and Yorktown banks,
which show the seasons in the strata
OF the fuel. That which was dumped
in the summer is dry and dusty, while
that which was thrown out in winter
still has great cakes of ice and snow in
it. This occurs in regular layers and
eXcites great curiosity.
Coal men declare that the contention
of people that culm is weathered to
worthless point is disproved by the ex-
istence of the ice and snow. They
claim if the fuel had been decarbonized
by the weather, the ice and snow
would have melted. Some of the culm
banks are go to 20 feet high and are
worth millions Of dollars. Years ago
they were regarded as a total waste.

CH0KED WANT0N SLAYER
British Officer Disdained to Use Rifle
on German.

A German who deliberately bayon-
eted young British soldier, lying help
less with wounds, was choked to death
a moment later by an infuriated SER
geant major of a Lincolnshire regi-
ment. The incident happened during
the recent fighting in Flanders.
When the British officer saw the
German attack the helpless boy he
was convUlsed with horror and IOath-
ing. Disdaining the use of his rife
or bayOnet he pOunced upon the Ger
man like a bulldog. The Englishman's
fingers tightened around the throat Of
the German and literally choked the
life out Of the man. The Briton flung
the body aside and kneeled beside the
wounded boy. The German bayones
wound already hadGproved fatal.

TO STORE ISTHMIAN CROPS
Storage Plant to Cost 100000 Will
Be Built at CristobaI.


Ground is being broken for a ST.,
100000 cold-storage plant for the Pan
anna canal near Cristobal at the Allan
tic terminal. The need for abundant
storage facilities has arisen partly as
the result of the arrival of so many
troops and partly from the need of
storing supplies in anticipation of pos
Sible war needs.
The canal zone is raising large guam
titles of vegetables and fruits which
must be kept for some time after be-
ing harvested until consumed.
The plant will be operated by elec-
tricity from the hydro-eleCtric power
station at Gatun dam, seven miles dis
tant.

Col. Daniel T. Moore, now comman-
der of the 31Oth Field artillery, who
as a husky young captain of artil-
lery," walloped Colonel Roosevelt
when the latter was president, causing
him to lose the sight of his left eye.
The captain was at that time aide
to President Roosevelt and frequently
engaged his chief in boxing bouts An
unusually sharp counter landed, injur-
ing blood vessels in the eye. Captain
Moore never knew that he had blinded
the former president until the colonel
disclosed that fact last week while
at a health training camp in Connecti-
cut.
The man who blinded Roosevelt is
over six feet tall, and built proper
tionately. When he doubles up his fist
it looks like a ham.
