The people in Lindenwald say that
the car tracks ought to be fenced in
to keep the street cars from running
around in their yards. 1t seems that
the cars are becoming imbued with
the skip-stop spirit, especially the
skip, and are becoming playful.
About every other day one of them
jumps the track and cavorts about
the streets. A few days ago, only
for a big pole standing in the way,
one of the cars would have run up
on the porch of one of the residents.
The next thing they are looking for
down there is for the cars to play
leap-frog in their front yards. By
the way, since we are on this have
you noticed what wonderful improve
ment has been made in the service
since the adoption of the skip-stop
plan? The public was hoping that
they were to be benefited by its
adoption, but nobody gets anything
out of the Ohio Electric but the Ohio
Electric. BY the adoption of the skip
stop plan whereby many stops are
avoided the company has made quite
a saving in power and of course an
increase in profits. And-they are
going to keep tall of it.

NEW PLUMBING FIRM.

A new plumbing establishment
has been opened in the room at 1879
Market street. The proprietors are
John P. Hem and former Mayor of
the city John A. Holzberger. The
firm is to be known as the Modern
Plumbing Company and will not be
modern in name only but modern in
every way. They are now ready to
furnish any kind of work in the
plumbing line, such as plumbing,
steam, hot water or gas fitting. All
work will be strictly union. Both
men are popular and their many
friends predict and wish for them
much success.

Behold how we'll it is for brethren
to dwell in harmony. Witness the
meetings between foundry employer
and employee last week. All was har-
mony and friendliness. Is there any
thing strange about that? Isn't that
as it should be? OF course it is. At
these meetings referred to from what
can be learned, one side tried to outdo
the other in making it pleasant and
when it was all over with, everyone
was satisfied and expressed the wish
that they might meet again. That's
the proper spirit, give and take.

Will Folk and the Republic
Support Whitley II Nominated ?
Senator's Campaign Managers Ask
Question and Await Reply
(From St. Louis Republic, July 1st 1879

we figure up the cost, both OF going in
and staying out, we cannot wonder
that President Wilson has sought by
every means in his power to avoid a
rupture -.,..,,. ..,,..s,
THE one event of importance that
has transpired between the pubiica~
ton of this editorial in The Republic
and the signing of the telegram by
Senator Whitley was the inaugural adj
dress Of President, Wilson, in which
the hope that peace might yet be pre-
served was expressed.
1T is quite clear from such express
sions, which were frequent in the edL
torial columns of The st. Louis Re-
public at that time, that certainly up
to and beyond the date of the tele-
gram which Senator Whitley signed
The Republic hoped war might posi-
bly, be avoided with honor
Neither his opponent nor TIE Re-
public opposing him dare assert Sena-
tor Whitley is not thoroughly loyal
American.
But, since l am required to answer
questions, it is no more than fair that
| should be permitted to ask a few.
Our reports from all over Missouri
indicate the nomination of Senator
Whitley by substantial majority. He
reports large and enthusiastic meet
ings and feels no alarm at the injec-
ton of false issues or unjust personal
attacks into the campaign. A Largo
gathering of Missouri Democrats in
st. Louis yesterday brought nothing
but good news. The situation in st.
Louis and Kansas City could not be-
better. Consequently, the important
questions now before the Democrats
voters in this family quarrel is what
the attitude of Joseph w. Folk and his
followers is going to be after Senator
Whitley is nominated.
MY questions are:
will Gov Folk support Senator
Whitley if Senator Whitley is nomi-
mated?
'Will The ST. Louis Republic sup
port Senator Whitley if Senator VIII
fley is nominated? (Signed)
JAMES HAGERMAN, JR.,
"The foregoing answers to The Re
public's questions given by Mr.. Hager.
man express my sentiments AID meet
with my full approval. (Signed)

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-07-05

The following communication was
sent to The Republic yesterday from
he Whitley headquarters in the Plant
ers' Hotel:
THE st. Louis Republic has pro.
pounded two questions for reply by me
On behalf of the Whitley City Cam
paign Committee.
They are:
do l approve of Senator Whitley
,igning on March s, 1917, the telegram
asking the President to keep us out of
war if it were possible to do so with
tut the sacrifice of national honor"
. nd Would | have signed the tele-
ram if l had been in Senator Will
Iley's place"
81 am glad to answer any questions
pertaining to this campaign, asked in
GOOD faith by the press, although / am
Hot a candidate for the Senate.
My reply to the first question is:
Senator Wilfleys statement of his
.eason for signing the telegram is
manly straightforward, unevasive, in
accordance with mis- high character
and unimpeachable patriotism, and is
entirely satisfactory to me and should
be to every fair-minded American. 1t
is in accordance with the attitude of
the President at the time it was
4igned, and in accordance with the
Jew of large majority of our citi-
Zenship.
My reply to the second question is:
81 find it impossible to put myself
n the frame of mind that was in be
EGce the declaration of war, and | can
not say whether l would have signed
he telegram or not. The declaration
us war caused an acute change in the
minds of American people. This
change affected The Republic and 9th
er papers, as well as individuals, as a
scanning of The Republics editorial
columns before and after the declara.
ton of war will evidence. Like all
other Americans, l am now intent on
but one thing, complete and over.
whelming defeat of the Huns and all
that they stand for.
An editorial was published in The
Republic on March /, 1917, exactly one
week before The telegram was sent
bearing on the war situation. The
headline of this editorial suggests the
question whether war could be avoid
ed, for the line reads The Overt Act
And Them The closing paragraph O.
this editorial reads as follows:

BEWARE FIRE WORKS.
Dealers This Year Must Have License
To Sell.

Local dealers who handle fireworks
are up against it this year. Not only is
there a shortage in supply but all
dealers selling the noise producers
are required to procure a license.
President Wilson in a statement to
the press has decided in favor of the
continuance of Fourth Of July cele-
brations The law relating to the Ii
cense follows:
Every dealer handling fireworks
must secure a government license OBJ
tanned from an authorized government
licensing officer stationed in or near
his home town. The license costs rs
cents and is good for duration of the
war, and entities the holder to make
as many purchases as he pleases."
All sales of pieces over 10 cents
must be recorded and must be sold
only to those over 16 years of age.
