BONNIE TERRE RAiLW W co.
" TO ANNEX SNAIL ROAD

Cape Girardeau, Mo, Feb. Al
cording to a statement given out by
officials of the Mississippi Valley and
Bonnie Terre Railway Company, at
Pseryville yesterday, while on an in
spection trip, the "Bonne Terre" will
annex that portion Of the Houck road,
which extends from West Chester to
Pennington, known as the Saline
Valley.
This branch would easily connect
with the "Bonne Terre" as Doe Run,
four miles from Pennington. The
l.citf reason assigned for the desire
Of the "Bonne Terre" to secure the
additional mileage is that, while the
NJ. V. and B. T., traversing the coal
belt as it does, has a considerable traf-
fc in coal. II has no connection with
tic Illinois side. West Chester, the
officials declared, is the best trans
fer point on the river

According to the old grounding

six weeks more of winter, admitting,
of course, that February End is
grounding day. The sun shone sew

have a chance of convincing their
friends that their hog is the true

DR.. Neidert, who moved to Plattin
last year after brief residence mere,
and who made many friends here our
ing his brief stay, met with severe
accident in his new home while try

ploded. The explosion was terrific,
and at first it was feared the Doctor
could not recover. He was rushed to
the Bonnie Terre hospital, and latest
reports are that he is doing well, and
the prospects are good for his recov-
cry.
In this issue of The Times appears
the announcement of j. P. Zolman as

Barre goes somewhat out OF the beat
en- path as regards platforms. He does
not indulge in platitudes and mere
generalities; nor does he attempt to
consider matters which would scarcely
be likely to come within the province
OF a legislator in Congress. On the 9TH
ef hand, he does state his views IN
rather clear manner on the principal
matters before the people of the ma
ton. Summarized, his views may be ex-
messed as follows: He is favorable to
the cause of woman's suffrage; he ia
vors the adoption of the metric sys-
tenn; he believes in larger army ana
large navy; an adequate" tariff should
be maintained; the diplomatic sery-
ice ought to be betterd; national
budget would prevent waste; some
measures of further compensation TO
tbe veterans of the World war should
be enacted; maintenance OF the mer'
chant marine; economic laws VIII not
stand tampering with; there should be
as wide i;es..ibution of land as posi-
HE: prohibition amendment should be
honestly and reasonably enforced, and

"THE FRENCH KEEP THEIR
WORD"

"The French keep their word" What
a sting of sarcasm was contained in
that brief sentence addressed to the
German authorities by General de
Goutte, commanding the French mill
tary forces in the occupied German
cities east of the Rhine riverl What
a thrust at Germany! Instead of going
into verbose statement that the French
troops had evacuated the Germany cit
les, General de Goutte simply declared
that the French keep their promises
while the Germans fail to live up to
their written and verbal declarations
and promises That French promise, by
the way, was to the effect that French
troops would be withdrawn from
Frankfort and other German cities
on the east bank of the Rhine river
when the German government should
reduce the number of German troops in
tie Ruhr district TO the number pre-
seribed by the treaty. of Versailles.
France sent her troops into those cit
les against the advice of her ally,
Great Britain, and in spite of the
fears Of some other of the allies that
the act would be tantamount TO a new
declaration of war. France was un-
moved by the advice of her great ally
or by the fears Of the others, for
France was determined to see that Ger
many should abide by the treaty she
had only recently signed, that she
should show greater respect to that
document than she had shown for the
treaty with Belgium in the summer Of
lsl4. The world secretary admired the
courage and initiative of France, and
applauded the act, which had for its
purpose the intent TO show Germany
that treaties are to be lived up to rath-
er than to be used only at ones con-
venience. So France kept her troops in
the cities on the east side OF the Rhine
regardless of the protests of Germany,
until Germany came 20 a realizing
sense that France meant business and
that the new treaty could not at this
early stage at least be broken. Ger
many reduced the number Of her troops
in the Ruhr district to the number al
loved by the treaty; then France quiet
" withdrew the army sent into the
German cities east of the Rhine. France
did as she said she would do. Hence the
laconic message Of General de Goutte
70 Germany: The French keep their
word" The meaning Of the message
must sink deep into the consciousness
u the German people even though they
~. y be angered Oy the seeming effront-
ely II the declaration. Again the world
srpisuds France.

Although the vote cast by Democrats
in vermont's presidential primary last
Tuesday was ridiculously small, it
nevertheless was fairer test of senti-
ment in that party than was the vote
in the Republican column test of sem
timent in that party, inasmuch as there
were no Democratic candidates printed
on the official ballot. Any voting by
Democrats had to be done after at
least a small degree of consideration,
for it was necessary to do little con-
templating before writing in the name
of candidate. Therefore, the plurality
in favor of William G. MeAdoo is fairly
indicative Of Democratic sentiment in
Vermont. McAdoo not only received a
plurality but he had double the num-
Der of votes cast by his nearest comp
etitor, President Woodrow Wilson, Civ
ing the former a commanding influence,
ii such an expression as commanding
could be used in connection with vote
of 400 Democrats in the state of Yer
mont. The multiplicity of candidates
voted for under the Democratic column
was another interesting feature of the
tabulation, no less than a dozen names
being written in on the ballot. Per-
haps this great scattering of votes re-
veals the perplexed state of mind OF
the Democratic party as whole re-
garding a choice for the nomination.
