IN PACKERS CASE

Hearing on the objection of Nit
chell Palmer, Attorney General, to
the proposed amendments of Swift
and Company and the other big
packers to their agreement to dis
pose of their stockyards and stock
yard terminals and newspapers, has
been postponed until next Tuesday.
The arguments were to be heard
yesterday before Justice Stafford in

ers were not ready with certain pro-
posed notifications to these amend
ments, the court agreed to give them
more time.

We have been frequently asked
why. in our opinion, the Republican
convention at ansas City failed to
mention the. Democratic State adj
,ninistration, and if we consider it a
compliment to Governor Gardner. If
such thing had happened a few
years ago Democratic Governor
would have been held under suspicion
by majority of the Democrats in
the State; but politics, like other
things. have changed so, that we
really consider it to Ahe Governors
credit that. the Republicans failed to
find any of his acts deserving of crit.
icism, but we must also affirm that
it is. in our judgment "a badge Of
honor to President Wilson, that his
administration has been SO strong
that every Republican gathering in
the United States feel that it is nee
essary to attack and try to discredit
his acts. otherwise they would have
no issue to go to the people with any
hope of success.

WOMEN VS. rs. REPUBLICAN BOSSES;

The Republican State Convention
at Kansas City was great disap-
pointment to that party organization
in that it did not follow the plan
mapped out by the Republican
bosses. They had planned with elab-
crate care all the details of the corr
vention, the reports for all the Com
mittees, the slate for the delegates, at
large to the National Convention and
platform that side-stepped all the
principal issues on which difference
of opinion existed within the party
ranks. The prohibition question and
the League of Nations were ignored,
but the National Democratic admin
istration was heartily abused, and
vote catching platitudes were in
dulged in.
But a new element in party con-
ventions, the women. was not uunder:
stood by the bosses. They assumed
that the women would prove as tract
able to their will as the ordinary
men voters had always been. Some
of the women from the cities, who
had been properly drilled in the in
tricacies of Republican party politics.
were willing to follow blindly the
we'll oiled machine methods, but the
women from the country, who think
for themselves, revolted and demand
ed a square deal. They knew the
Democrats at Joplin had taken the
women into full fellowship and were
given equal representation upon the
delegation to the National Conven-
ton and upon oil committees and .
| FUN voice in al councils. So when

bosses, and promising them that if
they were good they were to be
given equal recognition with the ne
gro. and they should be satisfied as
the negro had been voting with the
Republicans these many years. Then
these good women arose in their
might and broke the slate. 1t was q
mighty battle of the unorganized
forces of righteousness against the
perfect made and we'll oiled political
machine, but at the end OF two days
the women won, but in the hour of
victory showed their magninimity by
taking but two places on the delega-
ton out of the eight, but one more
than was accorded the negro. The
good women who made hte fight and
thereby brought turmoil into the
convention were punished by being
defeated for delegates. They were
not even allowed places on the alter
mates list.
These same women made a gallant
fight, backed by the better element
among the men delegates, to have
prohibition recognized in the plat
form, but the best they could do was
to secure a two line amendment de-
claring in the broadcast terms for law
enforcement. and the Globe-Democrat
announced this as a prohibition
