Done with Democratic Party.
tFarmington News, !


T. P. Fitz, of Des Arc, better known
as "Uncle Isaac,," the popular CORE
spondent of the Ironton REGISTER,
was in Pennington yesterday calling
on his trade, as he has for several
years been representing meat pack
ing concern in st. Louis. He told the
News while here that himself, his
three sons and their four sons were
all done with the Democratic party.
One of his sons, he said, had been
voting the Republican ticket for the
past few years and that "the straw
that broke the camel's backn with the
rest Of the family was Gov. Gardner's
veto Of the bill granting pensions
small though they were-to depend
ent ex-Oonfederate soldiers. Mr..
Fitz was at Gettysburg and many of
the other hard-fought battles of the
civil war, fighting for what he believ-
ed then was the right side. He said
he was disgusted beyond endurance
with Democratic Governor, after a
Republican House had voted pensions
to dependent x-Confederates, who
would be contemplate enough to veto
the measure granting them.
We are glad that our old friend has
at last gotten on the right side, polit-
ically.

IRONTON, MO, THURSDAY JUNE 10, 1919

UNDER the heading, "The Mystery
Exposed" the Post Dispatch tells the
story of how certain big Honorable
Senators attempted to discredit the
President, and how ignominious their
failure:
The practical close of the Senate in
vestigation of thepeace treaty "leak"
leaves nothing but bad odor-an
odor of sneaking insinuation prompt
ed by unprincipled malice and parti-
sanship.
Elihu Root voluntarily appears be-
fore the Senate investigating COM
mittee and testifies that he is the man
who showed Senator Lodge copy of
the treaty; that there was nothing
improper in his having a copy and
nothing improper in the manner by
which he obtained it and nothing i'm
proper in his showing it the Senator.
The text of the treaty had been print
ed in Germany and was, therefore,
public property. He obtained his
copy from Mr.. Dawson, head of the
Red Gross, who got copy in order
that he might examine in detail the
provisions concerning the Red Gross.
Mr.. Root said he would use his copy
as he pleased, but j. P. Morgan,
Frank A. Vanderlip, Jacob Schiff and
Paul Warburg, representative of the
Financial interests" which Senator
Borah darkly limited had been given
| copies of the treaty for unholy and
sordid purposes, testified either in
person or by wire that they had
seen not the treaty. Mr.. Dawson
testified that he had only one copy
and the only man he showed it to was
Mr.. Root.
Why the awesome mystery that
Senator Lodge threw around his see
ing copy of the treaty? Mr.. Root
made no mystery, and, in fact, said
there was no suggestion of confidence
There was no thought of improperly
| Why did Senator Lodge veil his mys-
terious statement in a cloud of sus-
picion by limiting at secret dealings?
Why did Borah hint of underground
dealings for dirty purposes? Why,
indeed? Why ask these questions, in
the light of the actions of these and
other Senators who are trying to "do'
President Wilson, regardless of con-
sequences?
The incident has its good uses. 1t
has cleared the atmosphere. Mr.
Root is an acknowledged authority or
constitutional law. He told the SEN
ate Committee it was not incumbent
upon the President to send copy Of
the treaty to the Senate. It was within
the Presidents right to send or with
hold it-he was the sole Judge. The
Senate hullabaloo was "mere sound
and fury" signifying nothing except
the desperate and vicious intent te
discredit the President.

Army Worm Outbreaks.

The Missouri College of Agriculture
is receiving complaints of army worms
in wheat, alfalfa and other crops. The
complaints are coming from several
different localities which seems to
show that the pest is rather widely
distributed. In some cases it is be-
ginning to migrate.
To control the pest, says L. Hase-
man of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture, use the same
poison bran mash which was recon-
mended last year for grasshoppers
and cut worms. Mix fifty pounds Of
bran and two pounds of white arsenic
or Paris Green and then moisten with
solution containing four quarts oi
blackstrap molasses, the juice ane
chopped up rinds of twelve lemons
and about eight gallons of water. The
mash should be just moist enough
that few drops of water can be
| squeezed from handful OF 1t. ~
Distribute the mash broadcast where
the pests is scattered all over fields o.
distribute it in strips in front of The
migrating worms where they are on
the move. On cloudy days it may bt
distributed at any time but on cleal
days distribute it either early in the
morning or late in the evening &c
that the worms will feed on it before
it dries out too much. o.
The grasshoppers are also abundan
in places in spite of the excessive
rainfall of the past weeks and the
same mash should be used to destroy
the young hoppers before they dc
further damage and get ready to mi
CRATE to cultivated crops.

ONE Ralph Blumenfeld, claiming to
be loyal Englishman and the pub
Usher of an English newspaper, had
quite an extended screed in the Globe
Democrat last Sunday, Wanting the
loyalty of the Wisconsin Germans
with whom he says he has jnst been
soiourning and disparaging Presi-
dent Wilson'S efforts for world peace.
Hear this self-appointed literary
swashbuckler: "They," the Wisconsin
Germans, 'sare inclined to feel that the
United States is principally at fault,
not as nation, not as q people, but
as president. They resent, as most
others on this side resent, so far as can
learn, the fact that there has not been
an American nation at the conference,
but merely an American president
who did not see eye to eye with his
own people-or with anybody but his
little self-selected group of delegates" !"
Mr. Blumenfeld in this lies, either
through information obtained from
some of his 400 per cent Germany
Americans" or for ulterior reason of
his own. The mass of American citi-
zens are behind President Wilson
and approve his stand and striving
4 for the adoption of the League of Ma
tions. Again Mr.. Blumenfeld says:
81 found Milwaukee and the German
blooded American citizens there 100
per cent loyal to the United States,
and furthermore, to the cause Of the
allies, and, still furthermore, 100 per
cent inimical to Germany, German
ideals, German methods, German ev-
erything as it was developed by the
beginning and the conduct of the war
and as it is represented in modern
German thought" 4
Rot! Roth Rotl!l If the war had
ended with the Kaiser triumphant and
aDeutschland Ueber Allies" what
would many OF his 400 per cent
Americana be saying to-day? And
what reprisals would they be seeking
from those holding them down in time
OF war? know there are many, many
citizens German born and of German
descent who are true and have stooe
true to this, the land Of their adoption
and my heart warns to them; bu
MIR. Blumenfeld is too weeping in hii
declarations. There were too man,
on the other side as long as they dar
ed to be, and the leopard, II he eve
changes his spots, doesn't do 1t be
tween sunrise and sunset.

/ SEE ssUncle Isaac" is disgruntled

ing over to the Republicans he and
all his sons-because Governor Gard
ner vetoed the Confederate pension
BILL The Governor gives as his reas-
