A SPENCER
REFORMER IN SPOTS
Reveals Hypocrisy In Letter TO
St. Louis Republican


st. Louis Republican
Senator Selden P. Spencer, Re-
publican, candidate for re-elec-
ton, exposes his insincerity in
election reforms, inspired by
zone of the owners Of the Kan
sas City Star" in a letter to John
Schmoll, a Republican boss of
st. Louis. The letter was made
public by R. E. O'Malley, Dem
ocratic election commissioner Of

The letter;
UNITED STATES SENATE
Committee on Indian Affairs
February &c, 1919.
Hon John Schmoll,
Department of Public Works,
st, Louis, Missouri.
Dear John:
| have been talking this morn
ing with one Of the owners of
the Kansas City Star concerning
the situation in Kansas City. |
agree with him that politically
Kansas City is the danger spot
of Missouri and that if we could
get anything like a fair deal in
Kansas City we would elect a
Governor and the entire State
ticket and carry the ticket for
the Presidential nominee in
1920.
He seems to think that the leg
lslatlon that has been proposed
by the Republican members of
the Board of Election Commits
sioners of Kansas City will help
a lot in Kansas City. / do not
think we would want some of il
in st. Louis, but for Kansas City
they ought best to know their
situation.
He feels that the only chance
of getting legislation through is
to pass it in the House of Rep
resentatives which ought not to
be difficult and then caucus on
the matter and to tell the DEM
Ocratic members from Kansas
City in the Senate that they
need not expect to get any in
creases in salaries for Kansas
City Offices about which they are
most anxious, unless they pass
fair election laws applicable to
Kansas City.
! told him frankly that no man
could explain the matter to the
st. Louis delegation better than
yourself, and that ! would write
to you about it. l hope | may be
in st. Louis before long and we
can talk the matter over, be-
cause | am sure we both agree
as to the real strategy Of doing
something in Kansas City.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) Selden P. Spencer

 But however apathetic even hostile the French government may have been the covenant. it could not have been expected that 1t would give such affront to the president its negotiation with Sena Harding for the displacement of the covenant would have offered. The president himself has of- fered affront to the Millerand government by questioning its of propriety.

PREVENT BLINDNESS By Public Health Service

What eXcites our pity more than to see a person who has lost the sense of sight? Who are more helpless than the blind2
 And to think one-half of the blind ness in the world is said to be prevent able, a large part of which .s due to infection of the eyes at birth.
 In many localities the law requires the treatment of infants eyes at birth. and all careful doctors have adopted this practice.
 The eyes of every baby should first be cleansed with a solution of boric acid. and then one or two drops of a one CD per cent solution of nitrate of silver, or a ten (10) per cent solution of argyrol should be dropped in each eye. Only one application is necessary, and care must be taken not to injure the eyes with the eye-dropper. Many cases of blindness are also caused by the germs of gonorrhea being conveyed to the eyes from the hands of a person having this disease, either directly or by use of a towel on which such a person has wiped his hands. This is one of the reasons why the use of a common towel is so dangerous
 Other cases of blindness are the pois onous effects of wood alchohol, tobacco and lead, and injuries and diseases of the eyes.
 The sooner a person who begins to have any form of eye trouble consults physician. the better. Prompt action may save your sight.

HI. Record Alone |. Enough

There are many democrats in Arizona. honest and reasonable enough to concede that the Demo- cratic candidates win not have a walk away the coming election. They concede that some of the Re- publican candidates win probably be elected. Nearly all of such Democrats the election Ernest Hall secretary of state.
 They base their concession chiefly on the weak position of his opponent. Mir. Ross who has only entangied in land department issue as a sup porter of the present policies of the department under fire but whose very title as a candidate is couded by the alleged frauds in Yavapai. Graham and other counties said to have been instgated by the large cattemen and land grabbers. That is it is admitted that the weakness of Mir. Ross is the strength of Mir Hall
 While no doubt these circumstances have great y increased the chances of MT. Hall. we believe his greatest strength lies in himself and his record Everybody knows Ernie Hall. who has been a resi- dent of Arizona for quarter of a century. They know him modern farmer and fruit grower. practical miner a worker himself and employ They know him to be possessed of business qualifications and they of the energy and good judgment he displayed a member of the state ate from this county in the legislature of 1917.
 Within a few days after this country entered the world and before the close of the legislative sion. Senator Hall offered his resignation that he might enlist fin the service of his country There nothing spectacular about the performance. It had been heraded One afternoon just before the hour of adjournment he at his desk and quietly announced, that he had rendered his resignation. He had already enlisted in the engineers corps as private. His influence might have secured for him a commission in some other branch of the service hut l's >&Hr4 lor npne He joining a contingent of h&r1 r,rk niness recruited from all parts of the ecuniry f1r ~ofk in France which only men who aad had actual experience in that kind of work could perform. Within few weeks he was in France where he remained until after the signing of the armistice.
 Mir. Hall had many reasons which others would have seized upon plausible pretexts for remain ing in security at home. He married and he f had variety of business interests which claimed his attention. But he left for a service which meant hard work peril and slight prospect of promotion : to rank.
 man with such record surely would be a formidable opponent of even strong candidate

A meritoriou. Measure

Among the bills which will be submitted to the people the coming election is referred act by the legislature which is so excellent that argument has been offered against 1t. The referendum was ordered by the legislature. The bill will be desig mated on the ballot as NO. 800" It proposes to amend the law creating the board of pardons and paroles prescribing the procedure for granting pardons. paroles communications. All the features to improve the present law good but the more important provide for greater publicity regarding ap pIcations and the granting of paroles. pardons and communications for the better constitution of the board of pardons and paroles.
 In the case of "recivist" that is. more than once convicted of a felony. a pardon parole may not be granted without consent of majority of the members of the supreme court. At the begin ming of legislature the governor must submit list of communications, pardons and paroles granted with all facts concerning each.
 When an application is made. the governor must send copy to superior court and the county attorney in which the applicant convicted. If the applicant was convicted of homicide rape copy of the application explicit notice of it must be published for twenty days in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the pHcant was convicted. The bill also provides suf- time within which against the com mutation. parole or pardon may be made Other re- strictions thrown about the exercise of cemency by the governor and the board.
 Under this law the board would be composed of three members to be appointed by the governor, by the chief justice of the and one, by the president of the senate.
 Such law would well in two important respects. It would tend to prevent abuse of the pardoning power and at the time. would re- leve the pardoning power of unnformed and unjust criticism. It frequently happens that convict has been pardoned and paroed for good cause of which the public knows nothing and of which it can know nothing. Weeks months afterward it is learned that the convict been released and there is pcion that it has been done surreptitously when
 matter of fact there is provision under the law for giving publicity the for which the ps<- don parole granted even the fact that it was granted It is also often rumored that notor- criminal has been turned out of prison when he has not been and when his release is not contemplated
 The publicity promised in this act would fore stall such rumors well misunderstandings of good reasons why clemency is exercised,

What the President HsSrd

President Wilson should have been disturbed by the quoted remarks of Senator Harding that the latter had been approached informally by repre- sentative of the French government suggesting in effect association of nations in which the United states should take the lead Such a negotia- ton would mean nothing less than the complete re- pudation by the French government of what the president had hoped would be the crowning work of his life.
 Senator Harding has made prompt reply that the president has been mislnformed that there had only been suggested to him resumaby by Frenchmen of on understanding other than the Wilson League of Nations which they believed would be acceptable to the French people. It was merely private view expressed 10 private American citizen of the prob able attitude of private French citizens
 MT. Wilson should have held higher opinion of the French governments sense of propriety than to descend to inquiry for a confirmation of a re- port paipably absurd. Moreoveri if true there was nothing in it that affected the fate of Mr. Wilson's covenant. That is already disposed of as certainly as if the which will be cast on November in the solemn referendum" had already been counted. only the personal vanity of Mr. Wilson could have been injured if the French government had so informally addressed Senator Harding.
 Mir Wilson though. had been led by the vis- count Grey incident believe that any mproprietv
