Missouri Notes

Missouri is the Fried Chicken
State.
Missouri is the Regional Bank
State, and the Center State of the
nation.
Self-respect and an ambition to
succeed constitute a type of pride
that prints well in the Book of
Honor.
The green boys of today are the
leaders of they may be
awkward, but they are the salt of
the earth.
If you want to have many friends
be a friend. for this is the true
secret of human sympathy of the
sort seriously counting for some
thing.
We cruelty judge and get cruel
judgement in return-we carelessly
and maliciously shoot folks with
our machine.gun mouth, yet think
it awful to get back what we take
to mill.
Until Missouri enacts a compul
sorry spraying law the moth and the
worm will continue to encourage US
to pay a dime a throw for box ap
pies with half the flavor of the

Decreasing Accidents

That it is possible greatly to re-.
duce the number of industrial &C.
cidents is proved by recent report
of conditions in the steel industry
In 1907 245 men were killed or in-..
jured out of every 1000, an appal--
ling record of slaughter and Grip
ping. In 1917, as the result of the
Safety First movement, the rate had
been reduced to 81 per 1000.
One of the greatest causes of
poverty is the number of industrial
accidents While the majority Of
the accidents reported above were
trifline, great many leave a man
partly incapacitated for work.
The victim becomes discourage, de-
pendent on relatives, and is drag
on the progress and efficiency of
the community.
The improvement noted is being
accomplished by the campaign OF
education commonly called the
Salty First Movement. 1t has s.
achieved great results. but accidents
are still! fer too common.
Many employers will not remove .
dangerous conditions until forced
to do so. They act against their =
own interest. Every time worker
is hurt in poorly protected mach
inery, it helps deplete the supply of
able bodied skilled labor. 1t under
mines the loyalty of a shop force.
Mechanics dislike to work in shop
where Indifference is shown to the
salty of employees.
The majority of accidents are no
doubt due to the negligence aud
lapse of attention of employees
There is no human intelligence in

Are our naturalization laws to re-

will to become citizens with full
powers, almost as soon as they
land in this country? No one
should be naturalized till he can
speak the English language to such
proficiency that he use it in his
ordinary conversation. There is no
use having a babel of languages in
this country. If one can speak
several languages. it is an accom-
plishment, but they need not be u.s.
ed in everyday life. Just how many
foreigners will want to come to this
country as soon as all the war ques-
tons are adjusted, it is difficult to

WILSON TELLS HUNS
OF VAST INDEMNITY
Warns Berlin In Note That Debt
Must Be Paid Sufferers.

In a communication Tuesday by
which President Wilson notified Ger
many that General Foch was ready

corporated observations made by the
allied governments at the Versailles
conference and adds the Presidents
Endorsement for the indemnity de-
nand which will force Germany to
make compensation "for all damage
done to the civilian population of
The allies and their property by the
aggression of Germany by land, by
sea and from the air"
No one pretends to be able to esti-
mate the enormous size of this in
demnity. The damage to civilian
property in France alone is 50 great
hat Andre Tardieu of the French
Ugh commission here. estimates
int it will take 20 years for 100000
woi '-ers to restore it.
All the destruction of a wanton
character in Belgium, the ravaging
of Serbia. ,Roumania, Montenegro,
etc, must be provided for in this in
demnity.. Figures of a fabulous size
alone can be considered in attempt
ing to estimate it.
All destruction of passenger ships
and illegal damage done by the
U-boats during the four years they
have run amuck must now be paid
in full.
This includes the Lusitania and
other ships destroyed. Here, 100, the
indemnity figure to be exacted from
Germany is staggering to the imag-
nation.
All damage done by German air
raids on Paris, London and else
where the civilian population has
suffered must be, SO far as possible,
made good by Germany.
The warning with respect to the
coming indemnity is given to Ger
many now in order that the record
of the allied governments and the
government of the United States may
be kept free from any suggestion Of
not having dealt frankly with their
arch enemy.
