GERMAN TRADES
UNION CHIEF IS
DEATH s VICTIM
Carl Rudolph Legien, Mem
Der of Parliament Since
1893, Passes Away In
Berlin at the Age of 60.
fRr The Associated Pressl

Berlin, Dec. 26.-Carl Rudolph
Legion, president of the German
Federation of Trades unions, and
q socialist member of the reichstag,
died today.
Herr Legien returned from the
International Trades Union con
gress at London three weeks ago
and attended the reichstag sessions
up to a few days before its ad
1ournment for the holidays. He
was 60 years old.
He was a member of the Ger
man parliament in 1898. He
was convinced that much of
the German radicalism in Ger
many since the revolution can
be accounted for in the food
situation. He believed that once
the German workingman recovered
from the "fatless years he would
recover his old-time love for work,
law and order. He once said if
Munich beer had contained real
hops and malt there would have
been no Bavarian soviet republic.
In his opinion the pre-war stand
ard of cheap living in Germany
will never return.
Legien started in life as a jour-
neyman wood and metal turner and
kept up the interest in his trade
to the extent of maintaining q COM
pletely fitted out workshop in his
house.
Killed the Kapp Regime.
Herr Legien's frs. attempt to
use the German federation of trade
unions for political purposes oc-
CURED last March when German
organized labor was modified IN
q weaponless war on the Kapp
revolutionists. The general strike
proclaimed under Legien's direc-
tion gave the Kapp regime its
death blow in the opinion of many
officials. Legien was encouraged
to use the federation's influence on
the government in connection with
legislation concerning specialization
of the coal fields and other in
dustries.
Under his direction the labor
federation maintained close
working union with the German
socialists party, although the fed
GRAFTON contained many members
not affiliated with the party po-
litically.
Herr Legien. a majority social
list, was absolute in the realm of
German organized labor as REPRE-
scented in tho federation of trade
unions, and up to his death pro-
tected it from invasion by COM
munists and radical socialists.

Sundy's Grove

Are you interested in Sundy's
Grove? If you are not, you certainly
ought to be. 1t is an enterprise that
has long been needed in this county.
In cities hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are constantly being spent in or
der to give parks to the public for
health and recreation.
We ask not cent from the people,
nor from the county. All we do ask
is the good will of the people. We
are improving this grove every day
and propose to continue such improve
ment until it will pass muster Of the
most critically inclined. We are now
preparing to install an electric plant
for the purpose of illuminating the
house, as well as the grove. The same
plant will also run an electrical mus
ical instrument. There will also be
play grounds, swings, and merry-go-
rounds for the children. A dancing
pavilion will also be attractive to
many.
This ideal resort will be offered
freely to any and all church or lodge
entertainments-free lights, free wa
ter. We want you to know and under
stand .lask you haye a personal inter-
est in this place, which you may use
to your own pleasure and profit. Give
the next picnic at Sundy's Grove, the
ideal place, the center of the Farming
ton and Lead Belt district.
Yours truly,

A Political
Upheaval

The gathering at the Planters Hotel
ris-for-G Governor" enthusiasts was
glittering success. 1t was calculated
to cause to tremble the, very founda-
tions of other Democratic aspirants
for that position. Not only that. Its
effect on the Supporters of other can
didates for Governor was most dis
couraging and will undoubtedly cause
many former opponents of Hon. Frank
II. Farris for Governor to back up and
get into the Farris band wagon.
At least such was the impression
that was created in the minds of all
in attendance at Mondays meeting.
Never before, the writer believes, has
there been held anywhere such meet
ing-250 of the most enthusiastic
working party men to be found any
where--Inany of whom had travelled
hundreds of miles to attend meeting
in response to a simple invitation
from Mr.. Farris to be present, wholly
at their own expense.
There is perhaps not another pri-
vate eitizsn in the State who could
get together similar body Of men, in
like manner. Not only that, but there
were perhaps a score of kilograms
read from prominent Democrats, in
different parts of the State, announc-
ing their inability to be present in per-
son, but that they could be depended
upon to enter enthusiastically into any
action that was taken to promote
"Farris for Governor"
1t was by far the most unanimous
and enthusiastic gathering in which
the writer ever participated. 1t was
pre-eminently love "feast"-love for
Senator Farris. Everyone present
had something to say as to why he
was under lasting obligations to the
Senator. Many former members of
the State Legislature testified as to
why they were willing to give both
time and money to the Farris cam
paign. Invariably the essence Of their
remarks were that while members of
the legislative bodies they had succeed
ed in accomplishing things that were
satisfactory to their constituency, but
they invariably stated that they would
have succeeded in accomplishing very
little, or nothing, had it not been for
the assistance of Senator Farris-the
bills he approved were generally pass
cd, while those he opposed were as in
7ariably defeated.
The unanimous sentiment of every
one of that host of fighting Demo-
Gratis was that if Senator Farris re-
ceives the nomination he seeks the
party will have the most able, best
qualified, most fearless and most
magnetic standard bearer it has had in
many years. That meeting will GER
tainly prove to be an eye-opener in
every part of the State, as it is surely
more than an indication as to which
way the political winds are blowing.

POLITE ELVINS FOR
LIEUTENANT-G T-GOVERNOR

Polite Elvins, of Bonne Terre, we'll
known to all st. Francois county cit
liens as we'll as over adjoining coun-
ties and the State, is Republican can
didate for Lieutenant-Governo and
seems to have good indications for a
victory in August. Although Po-
lite is of the wrong political per-
suasion, according to our idea of the
matter, if the voters of the State de-
sire a Republican for Lieutenant
Governor, we would rather see Po-
lite secure the honor than any one
else aspiring to that position. Po-
lite is ably qualified for the position
which he seeks, is well up on the af-
fairs of the State which he would be
called upon to handle, is wide awake,
industrious and is qualified to make a
good official should he be chosen for
that position.

ST. JOE BUYS HOLDINGS
OF BAKER LEAD COMPANY

1t is rumored that the St. Joseph
Lead Company has purchased the
holdings of the Baker Lead Company
at Leadwood and will soon begin ac-
tive operations there. This report
has been persistently rumored for the
last few days and it appears certain
that the report is true, for it seems
general knowledge over the county.
Rumor further has it that the st.
Joseph Co. will begin operations at
Leadwood soon on larger scale than
ever before. Extensive additions will
be made to the plants and mines and
several hundred more men than are
now employed there will be given en-
ployment. All this means an in
creased payroll for Leadwood, with
its subsequent increased business and
general prosperity. A bright future
indeed is ahead for Leadwood, for
which The Times is sincerely glad. It
will only be a matter of time, accord
ing to our information, which we con-
slider reliable, until Leadwood will be
enjoying as great a degree of pros
perity and industry as any other town
of the Lead Belt.
In purchasing the Baker holdings,
the st. Joseph Lead Company has ac-
quired valuable piece of property,
which it is sure to make the most of,
the st. Joe being known as one of the
most progressive lead companies in
the country.

New Store for
Iron Mountain

7. A. Burnett, of the Burnett Meat
Market Of this city, has just secured
a lease from the Iron Mountain Min
ing Co., at Iron Mountain, of the large
brick building at that place, known as
the Masonic Lodge Building, and will
open general store at that place at
an early date. The Times is inform
ed that several other parties were
trying to secure that building for sim
liar purpose, but it seems that Toms
application was the first to be receiv-
ed, hence his preferment.
The progress that is now being
made there, toward building up that
place, makes the location particularly
attractive for an enterprising mercan-
tile establishment, as the old store,
that has been there for the past sew
eral years, under the management of
Mr.. Heaton, will be closed out, ow-
ing to Mr.. Heaton's failure to make
suitable arrangements with the mining
company, which owns all the land
thereabouts. Judging from the plans
for improvement that are now going
forward there, it will be but short
time until there will again be located
there a thri; ing community.
The lase calls for minimum stock
of dry goods, groceries, meats, etc,
to the value of $4,000, and the pres
ent prospects are that such business
will be an excellent investment. With
in the next year the new mining COM
pany expects to have force of sew
eral hundred miners employed there,
and the prospects for the production
of the highest grade of iron ore seem
to justify the prediction that their es-
innate of workmen that will be nee
essary to carry forward such work is
very conservative. The Times be-
speaks for the new firm abundant sue

The u. S.
SenatOrship

Breckenridge Long is busy with his
campaign for the Democratic nomi-
nation for United States Senator in
the northern part Of the state, and
from the reports that reach us of his
reception and the encouragement ac-
corded him, his nomination is fairly
presumable. He has a strong follow
ing in this part of the state, when we
take into consideration the leading
Democrats in southeastern Missouri
counties who have announced their
intention to support him, and when he
begins his campaign down here, which
we are advised will be soon, this sup
port will be materially augmented.
OF the other five spirants for Unit
ed States Senator Mr.. Long may be
reasonably considered easily in the
lead. Three of them may be said to
have only meager local strength
with no definite or statewide follow
ing. They are good, clean men, no
doubt, but little if anything, is known
of their fitness or ability for the inn
portant post to which they aspire, ex-
cept perhaps in their immediate local
tiles, where local pride and personal
considerations will give them COM
plimentary vote that might otherwise
be divided among the other three
wider and better known candidates.
In short, they are hardly considered
in the running.
AS to the other three better known
aspirants, Judge Sam Priest can
ho 10 ha fott
Democrat, measured by the clearly
defined principles and policies of the
party set forth in the platform adop
ted by the National Democratic Con-
vention at San Francisco. He makes
no pretense of standing upon that
platform or abiding by its expressed
sentiments. He is squarely against
the League of Nations, having taken
the same position upon that question
as his friend and ardent supported,
Senator James A. Reed. So closely
are they allied on this question that
Senator Reed has announced his inten-
tion of speaking in every county for
Judge Priest and against the League
of Nations. Then, he entered the
race, through what influence we would
not undertake to say, solely in favor
of the wet issue, which is in no sense
a party question, both of the great
parties having shown by their silence
that they dare not make an issue
against the eighteenth amendment and
the decision of he Unied Staes Su-
preme Court upholding both it and the
enforcement act passed by Congress
under its provisions. So much for
Judge Priest. Let him stick to his
law practice. The Republicans would
like to see him nominated for reasons
not difficult to comprehend.
Charles M. Hay, another of the bet
ter known three, was jockied into the
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-07-16

race. But we will resist the tempta-
tion that prompted US to drop into
that race-track metaphor. Taking
another track we will say that he is a
recognized leader, it might almost be
said self-imposed champion, of the
prohibition movement in this State.
He wouldn't take a dare from any
wet champion, but is up and at 'em: so
when Judge Priest announced his can
didacy on wet platform. Mr.. Hay
couldn't be held in each, although he
recognized Mr.. Long was man who
could be trusted as law-enforcement
patriot, but what he seems to have
failed to recognize is, that he was
strengthening the chances of a wet
man to win out. That is what caused
US to drop into the mataphor at the
beginning ofthis paragraph. Yes, Mr..
Hay is a good Democrat, clean, cap
able man and forceful debater and we
like him, but then we don't believe he
can be nominatde on a non-partican
issue, and if he could there are those
who are already predicting that the
wet element of both parties would
combine against him in the general
election and elect Republican Sen
ator. He doesn't want that, neither
do we.
Breckenridge Long, the other of the
better known three, but the first to an
nounce his candidacy for the Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
Senator, with the sanction of Pres
ident Wilson, who appointed him to
and proved him in one Of the most i'm
portant positions in the Secretary of
States department at Washington, is
Democrat first and stands flat-foot-
ed on the Democratic platform. He
is the strongest man the party could
nominate for United States Senator
at this time in Missouri; and it is
gratifying that thoughtful Demo-
Gratis throughout the State are fast
arriving at this conclusion. The pri-
mary election is less than three weeks
away. 1t is time the Democrats of
st. Francois county were making up
their minds about these candidates
for United States Senator. We are
satisfied they have been giving it
some thought, and bespeak their most
favorable consideration for Brecken-
ridge Long, for he is worthy their ear
nest support and gives promise of be-
ing the strongest man the Democrats
can nominate.
