NO MORE SENATE

FILIBUSTERING
AFTER more than 100 years under
rules permitting debate limited only
by the physical endurance Of Senators
and the provisions Of the Constitution,
the Senate Thursday night by a vote
Of 76 to 3, put power in the hands Of
the two-thirds Of its members in the
future to limit discussion and to say
when a vote shall be taken on a pend
ing measure.
Action came unexpectedly after six
hours debate on the new rule, drafted
by a bipartisan committee. Although
both Democrats and Republicans had
approved the change in caucus and
Senator Martin, the majority leader,
had given notice that the Senate
would be kept in continuous session
until a vote was taken, nearly every
n looked for a much longer discus
sion. III
Senators La Toilette and Gronna,
two of those who opposed the armed
neutrality bill, and Senator Sherman.
who favored it, cast the negative
votes Senators Cummins, Kenyon,
-
Kirby, Lane, Norris, Stone and Var
deman, who were against the armed

DR.. R. v. BOURH WAS 81
YEARS OLD ON WEDNESDAY
He Taught Sunday School Until
Little Over One Year Ago
Was Oldest Teacher.
HE CAME TO MEXICO IN 1854
Was Graduated In Medicine in 1S4S
and Practiced Here During the
Days Of the Civil War.

DR.. R. W. Bourn, who lives with
his daughter, Mrs. ". W. Fry, on
East Promenade Street, celebrated
his ni~nety-seventh birthday here We'd
nesday.
Although DR.. Bourn is the Oldest
citizen of Mexico and, until he gave
up his Sunday School class a little
over a year ago, was the old est active
Sunday School teacher in the United
States. He is still able bodied. He
shaves himself, and is able to go
about with only the assistance Of a
cane, which is never put to very hard
usage.
DIR. Bourn is a native Of Kentucky,
born in Franklin County, March Z,
1890.
In 1910 he came to Galloway Coun-
ty, Mo-, and later moved to Fulton,
where he studied medicine in the law
office Of Thomas Ansell. In 1915
he went to Philadelphia and entered
the jefferson Medical College, from
which he was graduated in 1S4s.
He located for a short time in Clinton,
Monroe County, Mo. He was mar
ried to Miss Ann Graves in Kentucky
in 1S4S and brought his wife hack to
Missouri. In 1858 he and his wife re-
turned to Kentucky for a visit, max
ing the trip in a buggy and the doc
tor says it was the most enjoyable
trip he ever took.
In 1854 he came to Mexico, which
has been his home since hat time.
DR.. Bourn practiced medicine here
during the Civil War.
He tells of some interesting ex-
periences during the war. One night
he was returning from a call and as
he passed the place where Hardin
College now stands a sentry stepp-
ed out and demanded to know who
was there. "a physician" was the re-
ply. "I1l be id if anybody goes
fishin' at this time of the night" yell
ed the sentry. Ever after, when DR..
Bourn was challenged he always
said "a Doctor. F"
General U. s. Grant was stationed
here during the war and it was he
that rescued the Doctor and some of
his friends from a dangerous predica-
ment. A number of Mexico citizens
had been imprisoned by the soldiers
and sentenced to be shot in the morn
ing, and it was only through Cen
eral Grants intervention that they es-
capped.
Wednesday is also the birthday of
Speaker Champ Clark and County
Clerk Ross B. Cauthorn. Each year
DR.. Bourn and Speaker Clark ex-
change letters of generalization.

C. B. 8 Q. OFFICIALS
INSPECT THE WABASH

@special train carrying Burlington
and wabash officials arrived in this
city shortly before six o'clock Thurs
dav afternoon. They were making I
tour of inspection over the Wabash
and had come from Kansas City ''
Mexico.
Speaking of the special and its pur'
nose. the Moberly Democrat Of Thurs
dav. in telling of its arrival in that
city. and greeting by a Commercial
Club committee, says:
'owing to the fact that Wabash OIL
ficials were on the train with the
burlington heads and that the trip
was made via the Wabash between
Kansas City and Mexico there was
much speculation here as to the real
nurpose of the tour. The officials
were accompanied by ]. W. Jones,
4 Superintendent Of the Western Divi-
sion Of the Wabash, and W. W. Green
land, chief engineer of maintenance
of way Of that division, from Kansas
City to Moberly, W. II, Ecdard'
Moberly division superintendent, and
J. T. Shcahan, chief engineer OF
maintenance of way of the Moberly
division, were slated to complete the
trip with the Chicago men.
at was generally believed that the
Burlington officials were inspecting
the line between Kansas City and
Mexico with a view of entering an
with the Wabash for the
completion of the new Burlington
short route from Chicago to Kansas
City. The Monroe City-Moberly line
which will be constructed within the
next few months will be a portion
Of that proposed short route. Some
believe that the Burlington, the Wa
bash and the Santa Fe will enter in
to an agreement for joint tracks be-
tween Mexico and Kansas City. This
belief was based on a statement made
by chief engineers of the Burlington
some time ago that the Wabash, Bur-
lington and Santa Fe had enaered
into negotiations for the opening of
the new short route into Kansas City
and the Santa FEES entrance into St.
Louis. 1t was stated ct that time
that no definite decision regarding
the agreement had been reached"
