In the Sixty-fourth Congress the
amendment was introduced in the
Senate December 6, and in the House,
December 7, 1915. No action was TAX
en- in the Senate, and in the House It
was indefinitely postponed by the Judi
ciary Committee. In the Sixty-fifth
Congress, after personal appeal had
been made by President Wilson, the
House passed the resolution, January
10, 1918. Between this date and Sep
TENDER 80, when the President went to
the Senate and made strong appeal,
the amendment from time to time
caused intense interest and anxiety.
President Wilson staunchly and per-
sistently advocated the amendment,
working for it in every possible way.
In 1915, when a woman suffrage
amendment was pending in New Jer-
sey, he went home to vote for it, and
after his nomination in the Democratic
National Convention of 1916 he spoke
ait the National American Woman Suf-
frage convention at Atlantic City. He
is the only President Of the United
States who ever identified himself
with the suffrage movement or in any
way assisted it. With characteristic
courage where a principle is involved,
he gave himself unreservedly to this
cause. To his administration will be-
long the honor of having enfranchised
the women of the nation. While he
is head Of the government, something
more than 25,000,000 women will re-
ceive the vote.

could have the slightest doubt that
the League of Nations was the sole
issue. Senator johnson not only made
his position clear, but Mr.. Frost, the
Republican nominee, fully and I'M
qualifiedly, Endorsed the stand tax
en- by the distinguished Senator. So
clear was the issue made at this open
ing meeting that there could not be
the slightest misunderstanding on the
part of either Republicans or Demo
Gratis. Captain Milligan, the Demo
cratic nominee, met the issue as
frankly as Mr.. Frost. Besides, the
platform upon which Mr.. Frost ran
openly opposed the League of Ma
tions, while the Democratic platform
as openly upheld it. In fact, it was
only necessary to hear Senator John
sons speech to understand how clearly
and uncompromisingly this issue was
made.
Senator johnson said it was not a
contest between Republicans and
Democrats. He did not mention the
name of either Republican or Demo
cratic candidate. He insisted that the
contest was to determine whether the
people of the Third District were to
be represented in Congress by man
who stood for America as against all
European powers, or by one who
would entangle this country in Eu-
ropean troubles, as would be done, he
claimed, under the League of Ma
tions.
Senator Johnson warmly com
mended Senator Reeds opposition to
the policy of the President on the
League of Nations. In addition, Sen
ator Reeds speech on the League
was circulated in every voting pre-
cinct in the district-frst, under Sen
ator Reeds frank, and, later, when
Senator Reed objected to this, under
the frank of Republican Congressman.
There never was squarer contest
made on any public question than was
made by the Republican and Demo
cratic candidates in this Third Dis
trict contest. For this reason, the
struggle for supremacy was of nation-
al Importance.
As fair, candid newspaper, the
obe-Democrat cannot afford to be-
cloud the real issue on this important
election.

the gravel it cost 1000 per mile an
nually to keep up the road, while the
cost on concrete per mile annually
was $40.
The economy of concrete is appar-
ent. Its cost is not much heavier than
gravel and it's upkeep is only one
hundredth part as much as gravel.
When it comes to the heavy traffic
roads, it is equally important to all
parts of the county that the roads be
built of materials which will hold down
the upkeep, for the construction cost
is more than half furnished by the
State and Federal governments, while
the upkeep is entirely taken care of
by the road funds of the county. In
other words the road funds Of the
county could be constantly drained by
the mistake of building heavy traffic
roads of gravel calling for an upkeep
expense Of 81 900 mile instead of $40
a mile as in the case of concrete.
Now someone will smile and say to
himself, "Well, we'll just not spend
the money on the roads. If we don't
spend it, it won't be drain" Just
remember that these state highways
are going to be under regular inspec-
ton by the State and Federal author
tiles and the county is obliged to keep
up the roads and the State and Fed
eral governments say how it shall be
done and what shall be done. But, if
there was no outside influence, it
should be remembered that any delay
in taking care of gravel road is more
expensive than to spend the money
needed when the need first arises.
The burden of this short message
is just this, that every citizen should
get a correct idea of what economy in
road building is. On the heavy traf-
fic road, real economy is in building
road which can economically handle
heavy traffic and not be cut to pieces
under the excessive use, calling for
enormous upkeep outlay.

count. If, however, these forecasts Of
disaster are designed to check the
country's prosperity and enhance Re-
publican opportunities at the expense
of the nation, they represent kind
and degree of unscrupulousness almost
without precedent even in the history
of the Republican party.

JEFFERSON CITY LETTER
(By A. T. Edmonstonl

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 23.-Some
plain truths are told in connection with
the recent scoring victory for Democ-
racy and the League of Nations issue
in the Third Congressional District by
State Senator Sam B. Cook, the JEFF
ferson City banker who was Missou-
ri's Secretary of State during the
Dockery administration, in an open
letter to the big "gop" daily, the St.
Louis Globe Democrat, in reply to an
editorial that bitter partisan organ
carried after the st. Valentine day
catastrophe to soften and explain
away this emphatic, overwhelming
Republican Waterloo.
At this point attention can be called
to the fact that the weather in the
Third Congressional District on Feb
ruary 18th, the day of the special
election, was unfavorable and there
through prevented a still larger Dem
ocratic majority which would have
been registered had the mercury reg
istered about 40 degrees above instead
of lowering around zero all day. Chill
ly, snowy weather kept several hun
bred cold Reliable Party" electors,
living in remote spots, from the poles
for the old and after repeated reason
that each said to himself, whats She
use of driving to town in this cold
weather, anyhow; it's going to be d
Democratic landslide, anyway, and my
single vote won't be missed much. y
Had all such hundred-per-cent Amer.
leans of the district ignored the cold
weather and driven to town and vot,
ed, the Democratic majority woulc
have been twice as great--nearer u
900 instead of stopping at 1880.
The open letter of Senator Cook Il
the Globe-Democrat which tells ex
actly what the issue was which was al
stake, follows:
an this mornings issue of the
obe-Democrat you editorially say
After all the tumult and the shout

THE PRICE OF
PRACTICAL POLITICS

Our people are coming to realize
that there is such thing as retribu-
ton for mistakes in politics. Nothing
proves this more certainly than the
price we are paying for past ventures
in practical politics, through conces-
sions made by public men to racial
groups of our population. We have
witnessed more or less open pander-
ing to an anti-American spirit, by en-
couraging the continuance of foreign
languages and foreign customs in
community life. We have tolerated,
or passed over with cynical smile,
cowardice, even in the
face of national crisis. Nothing save
the cxigences of the war aroused us
to the hazard of this sort of thing.
Then we saw treason plotted in places
hitherto deemed harmless. We OBJ
served with amazement the spectacle
of crafty foreign diplomat using So
cial organizations and institutions we
had once admired for the purpose of
thwarting the nations will. Our in
iignation mounted high, but our wrath
will lose its force if we permit in times
of peace the development of the same
treacherous influence that menaced US
in time of war.
Our political leaders are more than
half to blame. They have courted
alien elements by subtle appeals to ra-
cial prejudices, and by protecting the
institutional influences that were
turned against US in the war. Ger
man-American Alliances, Saenger-
bunds, Turnvercins, and the like, we
thought, were mere organizations for
social ends and our politicians sought
their votes in blocks and groups, so
that there could be no real Americana
cation in their midst. Our political
committees subsidized the foreign Ian
guage press and abandoned the Eng
fish language to use foreign tongues
to convey cheap clap-trap to the minds
of the foreign-born. If we learned
anything by the war, we must have
found out that this sort of business is
worse than dangerous-it virtually
amounts to the complete sacrifice Of
our national language, our national in
situations and our national ideals. Do
we intend to become passive again,
now that the menace is temporarily
removed from our doorsteps? Are
we to permit the same practices to be
resumed?
Nothing is more brazen in the field
of politics today than the manner in
which Republican leaders in Missouri,
particularly, are going about the same
old game, to the same old end. There
are many thousands of men and wo-
men of foreign origin, who are better
Americans than half of these politi-
clans, but there are others who are
still against the United States. secret
lly and inwardly, and are still dis.
gruntled over the downfall of Ger
many. 1t is this latter class the Re-
publicans are counting, but their meth.
DDS are so subtly carried forth that
they hope to catch many of the others
off their balance and get the votes Of
all. There should be no mincing OF
words in dealing with this situation
and men of intensive Americanisn
anywhere should be on their guard

power to fend US from destruction.
It so happens that the only unto
ward factor in the whole financial,
commercial and industrial situation to-
day is that contributed by the Repub-
lican Senate, which has steadfastly OPP
posed and INSTRUCTED peace, and by the
same token prevented an expansion of
American commerce and an increase
of prosperity. In the same breath it
may be fairly asserted that the coun-
try is now enjoying season Of un-
exampled good times not because, but
almost in spite of what Republican
Congress has done and omitted.

WHAT KIND?

A young fellow who was off on a
jaunt out west, fell into hard luck and
had to pawn one Of his suits. just be-
fore starting home he managed to get
it out again. When he reached home
his mother, while unpacking his trunk,
came across the coat with the pawn
brokers' tag on it.
"John," she inquired, what is this
tag on your coat?"
John, not wishing to have his moth
er know of his temporary embarrass-
nent, said:
"Oh, I was at dance and checked
my coat"
Soon she came across the trousers
with the same kind Of tag on them.
"John," she demanded, "what kind
of dance was that?"
