The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-01-19

Two women arrived in Pennington
last Sunday, coming from st. Louis.
They appeared to be lost, and appar-
entity desired to go to Pennington,
iii. They had bought tickets in st.
Louis for Pennington, and naturally
secured tickets to this place. 1t seems
that they have relatives in Farming
ton, Ill Both were foreigners, ap-
parently Italians, and could hardly
make themselves understood. They
were finally convinced, apparently,
that they were in the wrong place,
and it is to be hoped that ere now
they have reached their destination.
Edgar Zolman took his wife to st.
Louis Sunday, thinking an operation
on her would be necessary in order to
restore her to health. She has been
severe sufferer for some time past
from what was supposed to be
female trouble. After an examination
into her condition, the physician said
it would be best to keep her there
for a few days before deciding what
would be the best course to pursue in
her case, as she showed great nervous
strain. A nerve specialist viii be
called into consultation, and it is pos
sible than an operation will not be
necessary. Many friends here hope
she will soon be able to return to her
family, fully restored in health.
Many bills have already been intro
duced in the Missouri Senate and
House of Representative at the pres
ent session Of the Legislature, and a
food of them will continue to pour in.
Many Of them are of local and many
of inconsequential character that will
go no further than the committees
to which they are referred. Those Of
important and vital interest we will
try TO keep track of as they progress,
with such comment as they may in
our judgment deserve. None of the
measures bearing on the Governors
recommendation pertaining to the
States revenue, penitentiary reforms,
central commissions of eleemosynary
and penal institutions, etc, have yet
been perfected in form and introduced.

Be cheerful. Give this lonesome world
a smile,
We stay, at longest, but little while.
Hasten we must, or we shall lose the

Be sweet and fehder-that is doing
good.

ALL HONOR TO THE NAVY.
(ChicagO Herald l


 Recent announcements of the safe arrival of the American expedition in France left out significant de- tails Not until yesterday did know that the Ger mans had gathered their submarines at rendezvous far out beyond the supposed of danger to give and tremendous exhibition of frighfulness. Not until then did we hear that the convoy had beaten off successfully and with loss to the enemy two sep arate attacks of submarine fotillas
 The whole country shares the feeling of pride in the navy and gratitude for its achievement that breathes through Secretary Daniels statement and the letter from the Secretary of War him. Nor will it be nggardly in withholding credit to the Secre tary of the Navy and to the officers in command for the successful transport, through intended by Germany to be boodred with American victims, of the American soldiers to France These later details show that the enterprise more splendidy success full than had thought
 As in the of the departure of the American torpedo fotia the Germans apparently had accurate information of the departure and prospective the American expedition. And in that case, the information did not come from the American news papers. The encounter shows the efficiency of the German intelligence department in this country well as the efficiency of the American navy. Fortunately the latter quite enough nulify the former, but way must be found to relieve it of this handicap

THE AMERICAN GUNNER.

The battles of the Spanish American war, blood less upon the American side in many instances, and in no instance marked by heavy American casualty list will be duplicated in the experience of Ameri throughout this upon land We must be prepared morally for the shock of and the of losses of American lives. We shall get through this unscathed by the enemy We must be prepared nation to take punishment philoso- phicaly, expected part of warfare Nevertheless there is ample ground for rejoicing in the excellent gunnery of Americans, proved at the wars beginning by the adventure of the Mongolia and proved in sev- eral other encounters with submarines.
 Craftsmanship always has been the pride of Ameri- cans It reached high development in the period when the singleshot muzzle-loadng rifle the reliance for his life against savages and a of filling his larder with game. In every war in which Americans have engaged their marks manship has been notable. In naval gunnery less than in rifle practice Americans have been held by the officers to high standard of efficiency. They demonstrating in this the quality of their craftsmanship and it's value thin but highly pro- tective curtain of fire between American armed chantmen or American transports and the German submarine
 When the last red has set upon the last battlefield upon German soil in this and the Allies have forced the submission of the German who dreamed of conquest like Alexander the American naval gunner the American artilleryman land, the American with the infantrymans rifle the American in the armed plane will be recognized the descendant of the frontersman of early colonial days who picked his In dian and conserved his powder the colonial trooper who knew when and how to shoot in the American Revo ution and the ambitious and efficient younger brother of the naval gunners who distinguished themselves under Dewey at Manila and under Schley at Santiago in the Spanish-American

NoRTHcLlFFE's SPEECH.

Lord Norhclffe's extended discussion of the Ger man spy system England and the the Brit ish authorities have learned in dealing with it fully supports that censorship of public uerances is not nearly important complete control over every agency through which intelligence be sent abroad.
 It requires great depth of wisdom to perceive that no public fact be in the United States be used against the United States by the German army navy unless the gets across the ocean and leads squarely to the conclusion that going censorship must include not only wireless and cable messages but the mails also

THE FACTS.

Perhaps it may be of value to the
 Empire to know that Senator Colt, of Rhode
 Island did not vote for the confirmation of
 Judge Jennings, that he not present when
 the vote was polled.-( (Dispatch.)
 Senator Colt formerly Judge Colt. a member of the subcommittee of the Senate judiciary committee present at the time of the hearing of Judge Wick ershams objections to the confirmation of Judge Jen nings and with Senator Walsh he participated in the discussion with Judge Wickersham and exhibited his impatience with the propositions advanced by the form Delegate and finally told him that Judge Jennings right.
 Telegrams received in Juneau from three United States enators said that the proceedings with reference to the confirmation of Judge Jennings unani 
 However, while not for publication record is made of hearings before the Senate committees or combinations for the of the members of the other Senators. and there be mistake to the at ude of Senators who at the hearing wher Judge Wickersham made his protest. It is not likely that Judge Wickersham will question the statement in the Empire the attitude Senator Walsh and Senator Colt at the hearing.
