home of her daughter, Mrs. W. r.
Wilkinson, $50 North Marion street
with whom she has made her home
for the past seventeen years.
Born in New Jersey, May 10, 1881
Mrs. Patterson came west with he:
parents. the late Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
wins. in the 40s, and settled near
Nauvoo, Ill. The Mormon expedition
caused them to go to keokulc, where
the family was closely identified with
the intimate history and traditions OF
the river city.
Mrs. Patterson was possessed of q
wonderful mind, having travelled ex'
tensiyely in her younger life. For
several years she and Mr.. Patters IA
lived in Colombia. Forced to seek a
tropical climate on account Of his
health, they owned and operated a
hotel on the isthmus. which was a
fayorite stopping place for the then
overland travellers across the isthmls
Of Panama. Mrs. Patterson also
visited many times in California. She
knew all the noted pioneers OF Lee
county and the adjoining parts of
Illinois and Missouri. She was an
Intimate friend Of Mark Twain, being
connected with the Clemens fami:Y
by marriage She, with a party OF
Keckuk people. attended the funeral

been all wrong, at least so far as
farmers are concerned. Government
operation makes 1t possible for peo-
pie who want to beat down prices on
farm products to do it by simply
putting an embargo on our shipments
and refusing to move them until we
are ready to sell at their price. Gov
eminent operation means extrava-
CANT management and bad service.
We are opposed to the Plumb plan,
which is government. ownership, but
management by the railroad work
men. Colonel Brookhart is in favor
Of government ownership. He is also
in favor of the Plumb plan or any
other plan which the railroad work
men want. He would be good reps
resentative of union labor, but a
mighty bad representative OF the
farmers and the general public. Iowa
is q farming state and should be rep
resented in the senate by men who
are in sympathy with farmers.
ca Senator Cummins is in favor of
arbitration boards in necessary indus
tries, such as railroads, and would
forbid strikes until the arbitration
boards have looked into the matter
and rendered decision. That Is
what we want. This thing Of tying
up the railroads and other necessary
industries every time a small group
Of workmen think they ought to have
more pay has got to stop. We are
in favor of liberal pay for workmen
We are in favor of workmen organiz-
ing to secure a square deal We are
in favor Of allowing every man TO
quit work when he wants to. But the
time has come to stop radical labor
leaders from bringing about strikes
on railroads and in other necessary
industries until the rights OF the
matter have been determined. The
farmers Of Iowa have lost millions
Of dollars during the past two years
because of these unnecessary strikes
We will lose millions more unless
they are stopped. Honest workmen
also have suffered. 1t is to the in
terest of every fair-minded laboring
man as well as Of every other fair.
minded man that these big Industrial
disputes be arbitrated. Senator Cum
Minis is right when he proposes to
arbitrate before striking, instead OF
afterward.
We think it would be a'great mis-
fortune to the farmers of Iowa il
Senator Cummins should be defeat
ed. We cannot afford to let this
happen. We cannot afford to make
any experiments at this critical time.
We urge our fellow farmers to talk
this over with their neighbors and
make sure that they understand the
real issues. The contest between
Senator Cunmins and Colonel Brook
hart is really a contest between the
layal-hoadad farp1arS If Iowa and the
radical labor union leaders. 1t is
contest between order and disorder
There is no doubt as to how the Iowa
farmer will vote when he under
stands the issues. Therefore we must

REPRESENTATIVES FAIL ID AGREE ON
 COTTON MEASURE
Finally Instruct COnferees tc. Accept Senate PrOvi- sion Making Wartime
 Law Permanent
By Associated Press

Washington, May 1S.-House mem- bers from the cotton growing states divided sharply today over the advis- ability of legislation affecting cotton grades and sales that was inserted in the agricultural appropriation bill by the Senate.
 Finally. after an hours debate, the House instructed its conferees to ac- eept the Senate provision, enacting into permanent law the wartime ,eg- islstion limiting the classification of cotton to the ten grades originally specified in the cotton futures act
 Along with this acton, the conferees were instructed not 10 accept the Sem ate provision permitting buyers of cot ton to demand one-half of their pur- chases to be of the middling or bet ter grades, with the sellers being au- thorized to select any of the ten grades in which he would deliver the other ha.I of a purchase.
 Both the Senate provisions were in cluced in the amendment to the agri- culture bill offered by Senator Conner, democrat, Alabama, and came before tne House because of the inability of the Senate and House conferees to reach an agreement. Although no rec ord votes were taken in the House, it's
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-14

debate indicated that the principal support of the double -barrelled amend meut of Senator Conner came from members from South Carolina, Ala bIma and Georgia. Members from otner southern states spoke against the part of the amendment relating 10 sales and deliveries.
 Republican Floor Leader Mondell Illinois, joined in the debate, urging House approval of that part of the amendment limiting cotton classifica- ton to the ten grades. Opposing the remainder of the amendment, they, li-e a majority of the southern mem bers, attacked the sales and delivery provisions as of unknown conse- quences. They also asserted that the amendment, on it's face, showed nasty careIessness in it's preparation" and il CT acted @would be impossible of en' forcement."
 The House action favoring the per- manent enactment of the wartime legislation, which reconstructed the ten cotton grades, was practically unanlm- ous. During the war this legislation was adopted as a rider to another piece of legislation after members from the cotton growing states had complained that the original cotton cotton futures act was not being fol- lowed strictly by the department of agriculture. Southern members at that time said the department had created n-grades, the effect of which was to set up twenty-one grades for cot ton classification.

 To Love Governor Allen
By Associated Press

Topeka Kans,,, May 15.-Dr. Charles M Sheldon, widely known pastor and author in an address before the Kansas congregational conference here today, told how he had failed to induce Alex ander Howat president of the Kansas miners to love Governor Allen.
 q asked him what he thought would be the first thing Jesus would do if he were here today said Dr. Sheldon "He replied:'
 Well. I expect He first would clean up Governor Allen and, the state house.
 q asked him if he believed in Christ teachings-all of them. He assured mo he did. Then, I said, If that is the case, you should love Governor Allen.

 'The Underwood campaign committee welcomes and invites complete investi- gation of the campaign for the election of a United States senator in the long term contest, for we believe that to the same extent that an enlightened citizen ship has condemned it at the poles Just so will state and federal courts de- termine in what degree the laws or the country pertaining to elections have been violated
 Tt must appear patent to all citizens who have watched the methods of MT Musgrove and his volunteers during the campaign that they are not now alarmed when they find themselves disastrously defeated and are trying to conceal thelr doings by initiating the cutie fish ana spewing forth cloud of filth, behind which they hope to scuttle away.
