spect to listen to her representative
without threats of violence. One can
at least be a gentleman to guest in
his own house.
Senator Reed is an eloquent speak
er. Whether his logic appeals to the
people of his state is another ques-
tion that can only be settled at the
next election. We must at least give
him credit for courage.
He should be listened to respect
fully. He voices the opinion of the
opposition to the plan for League of
Nations. The League is no one-sided
question, as has been evidenced by the
new party alliances and third-term
efforts that have been threatened.
Reed is Missouri's senator. Mis-
souri, made him, and Missouri will
unmake him if conditions warrant.
Citizens Of other states cannot do this
by their insults. If there is any re-
primanding or chastising to be done,
it will be done right here in the fam
lily by the people of Missouri.
The Constitution of the United
States guarantees among other things
freedom of speech. Surely this right
shall not be abridged in the case of a
United States senator.
Senator Reed is not President of the
United States but he is a member of
the body which must ratify the cove
nant before it becomes part of our law.
If he has something to offer to help
show the way, let's all hear him.

THE NEAT PACKERS MONOPOLY

The Federal Trade Commissions re-
port to the President regarding its
investigation into the business of the
Big Five Chicago meat packers re-
veals one of the largest trade monop-
olies in the history of the country. Not
only do these five men practically
control the meat output of the United
States, but through their hold on the
hide market they can regulate the
pgice of shoes and other leather
goods. While their percentage of
profit on meat handling is small, the
public does not know what are their
returns from their dealings in eggs,
poultry, cheese, breakfast foods, chick
en- feed, fruit, canned vegetables, coal,
fence posts. builders hardware, bind
ing twine, lumber, cement, lime. rice
and salmon.
The report of the commission does
not indict the packers of abusing their
power in the food markets, but it re-
veals a condition of affairs which It
considers menace to the country, and
it is therefore in favor of legislation to
regulate the activities of the Chicago
packers.
Big business is not bad just be-
cause it is big business, but it is
hardly wise to have the bulk of the
food supply of the Nation under the
absolute control of a few men without
any laws to dominate or regulate their
conduct

COLUMBIA.s GREATEST NEED

Columbia needs most an adequate
sewerage system. The present system
does not reach all parts of the city.
This tends to retard growth. The
plans recently presented to the City
Council outline a system of sewerage
which will be modern and adequate
in every respect. This means that the
health of the city will be better
guarded.
The City Council may soon order a
bond election to vote s135,OOO for this
great need. When Mr.. Any Citizen
casts his vote it behooves him to bear
in mind the parts of Columbia which
are not reached by the sewerage sys-
tenn; and also the fact that disposal
plants are more sanitary than sur
rounding creeks.
Columbia's need of an adequate
system is imperative.

THE BENT KNEE

Nowadays persons don't think over
much of prayer; they think they are
too busy to pray, and, anyway, things
come to them so easily that they take
the source for granted. Like the child
that forgets to thank his mother, per-
sons go on using Gods bounty neg
lectful of gratitude. And the loss is
theirs, for prayer gives that fresh
touch with God which better than any
thing else tends to keep the vision
clear, the heart warm and the soul
pure. Jesus was never too busy to
pray; that is why He never lost His
close personal touch with the needs
of men.
Spend a minute or two this evening
in quiet introspection and notice the
effect.

LET REED BE HEARD

Senator Reed spoke at Birmingham,
Ala, this week against the League of
Nations. Opposition developed among
the League supporters, and violence
was threatened against the Missouri
Senator. An opposition meeting was
organized at Woodrow Wilson Park,
a few blocks away. A squad of DO
licemen was assigned Senator Reed to
see that he suffered no bodily harm.
Senator Reed should be allowed to
speak unmolested. At present he is
one of Missouri's two representatives
in the highest legislative chamber of
the United States. Sister states of
Missouri should pay her sufficient re-

should not worry. They contend the
joker will carry the force Of the
Barkley prohibition enforcement act,
at least until such time as they can
get the enforcement act through the
next session of congress. This IS
assuming, of course, that the Indian
appropriation goes through on sched
ule, and that the Barkley bill does
not get through.
The Barkley bill Is now scheduled
to be reported to the senate on Tues
day and probably will have early
consideration A corresponding bill
is to be considered by the senate
committee ON Tuesday, but it is inn
possible to predict when the senate
committee will be able to oppose the
bill. AS it stands now, both house
and senate will have to put on a
great deal Of speed to pass the en-.
forcement measure before the session
ends March 3.

DRY'S SECRET JOKER
MAY WIPE OUT ALL
OBSTACLES OF VETS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. - The
"drys" need not worry. With the
turmoil over the passage of the pro-
hibition enforcement act growing ev'
cry day and parliamentary obstacles
piling up in front of it; the "drys'
have not an ace but a joker up their
sleeves.
They are working their heads off
to get the enforcement legislation en-
acted, but in reality they do not care
The glst of the enforcement legisla-
ton will take effect July l, whether
or not the act itself is passed, the
"drys' are saying privately.
Few points have been overlooked
by either side in the prohibition bat
tie, but it has developed that the
forces resisting restrictions imposed
by the prohibitionists missed one bet.
They did not scan the Indian appro-
priation bill as closely as they should
have done. On the eve of the pas
sage of the Indian appropriation bill
by the senate the joker was discov-
cred Here is the story of it:
When the Indian appropriation bill
was in the house committee on In
dian affairs the committee failed to

day or tomorrow and it still contains
the amendment, now called the
Hastings amendment. This amend
ment consists OF one word, the word
or and its brevity may be the rea-
son it was overlooked.
Here is how the Indian appropria-
tion liquor situation stands with the
amendment included:
provided, that en- and after July
!, 1919, possession by a person of
intoxicating liquors in the Indian
country or where the introduction is
or was prohibited by treaty or fed
eral statute shall be an offense and
punished in accordance" etc.
Said to Cover Whole U. S.
The word "or,' according to the
story, was intended to cover, and in
the opinion of some of the "wets"
does cover, the whole United States
The introduction of liquor into dry
territory is prohibited by the Reed
amendment to the revenue bill, and
the whole country, by the terms of
the war prohibition act, goes dry"
July 1.
II the word "or' is permitted by
the senate to stay in that particular
place in the Indian appropriation
bill, therefore, the "drys" figure they
