The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-07-01

Years ago, and long before the Ke-
okuk Dam was ever mentioned, the
late Charles f. Barroll, of Farming
ton, said that the Mississippi river
would furnish the power to produce
electricity to light. heat and run the
machinery in the Mississippi River
Valley. 1t is safe guess that as one
dam has been built and is a success,
other dams will be constructed later.
The Mississippi, it would seem, has
power enough to run all the machin-
cry in the Valley, possibly including
the railroads. 1t would be a great
saving of fuel and would cheaper
transportation.-Ironton Enterprise.

mo Early Action on Disarmament"

At this writing there is some hope
and prospect that the House will
adopt the Borah three-nations plan
for a conference on ornaments in
stead of the Porter Resolution for an
all nations land and sea plan. While
this resolution authorizes the Presi-
dent to call such a conference there
has been no assurance that President
Harding will call such a conference
promptly or will call it at all. On the
contrary, the New York Tribune's
Washington correspondent who says
he is in position to state "the view
of President Harding at the moment"
asserts there will be no early action.
Mr.. Carter Field. the correspondent,
says under date of June FL:
president Harding will not call a
disarmament conference for Great
Britain, Japan and the United States
in the immediate future. There will
be no such call until there has been a
thorough understanding and a very
definite agreement made in secret be-
tween representatives Of the three
countries.
"The Tribune correspondent is in a
position to state fatty that this is the
view of President Harding at the mo-
ment, and that therefore, despite the
obvious satisfaction which the ad-
ministration has taken in the state
ment by Premier Lloyd-George print
ed today (favoring the conference)
and in other indications that some
thing may be worked out with view
to saving the tremendous armament
taxation burden, no immediate move

Tariff and the business Mans PARTY

Tariff and the Business Mans Party
Republican leader Mondell (Wyo.)
promises that the tariff bill will be
reported about July / to the House.
and the fact that Republican members
are in disagreement over some of the
schedules, especially wool and lumber.
indicates long and sultry debate.
The making of a tariff bill furnishes
good illustration of the business
methods Of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties in expediting legis-
lation.
In the Democratic Congress elected
in 1910, the House passed tariff bill
within thirty days after it was organ
lied.
The Republican party has had con.
troll of Congress now for q months:
the tariff question has been under con-
slderation for about s months; the
present Congress has been in session
nearly three months, and tariff bill
is just about to be reported. The
Democratic Congress. however, had
these advantages: 1t did not have to
cater to any special interests; it had
no election debts to pay to privileged.
classes; it did not have to listen to
horde of lobbyists. 1t simply had to
make business tariff and pass it,
and business at once adjusted itself to
the new schedules.
Still, the Republican party goes
right on claiming to be the business
mans party and lots of good people,
who either don't know the facts or
don't take the time to think about
them, go right on believing it.

Senator Harrison Dem. Miss.) was
exposing the falsity of claim to the
achievements" of the present Repub-
lican administration made by an over
Jealous party organ, when Senator
Wolcott dem. DELI interrupted.
Mr. Wolcott-Does the article say
that these things which are not yet
finished are achievements of the Re-
publican party?
Mr.. Harirson.-Yes; they claim
these as achievements.
Mr.. Wolcott.---I am very much re-
minded of something | read. ! think
it was something that old Benjamin
Franklin said about the delay with
which he was meeting in not being
permitted to sail. The governor of
the province had constantly told him
the ship would sail the next day, and
old Ben said he was very much re-
minded of the sign of King George on
the tavern-always on horseback but
never moving on.

ter, president of the State Agricultural

THE real question which we must

little change was noted in the period

much change In a period of ten or
Twenty years as during a period, Of
lone hundred years. or five hundred
years when We look back to the mid
die ages. The boys and girls of today
must be prepared for tomorrow in
some definite institution. The real

TEACHERS MEET
Held AT FARGO
Miss Downey, Pres. Beeler

Pres. Coulter Speak.

Fargo. Nd. Nov. 22.-speaking
before. a general session of the North
Dakota State Teachers association
here Monday night, Miss Mary +.
Downey. director of the North Dakota
Public Library commission. made a
plea for the learning of reading in
the public schools in such a tanner.
that it might be a means of culture
IN the life of the child. in the grades.
in the high school and later when
student days were finished and edu-
cational endeavor could be continued
only through the medium of reading.
Miss Downey. whose subject was
"Correlating the Reading Habit with:
the Public School Curriculum" was
positive In her inference that master
ing the subject matter of text books
was not gaining education. but that
education was a deeper understanding
of the knowledge of the universe that
came from a wide acquaintance out
side of school room walls.
The finest thing in the public
school curriculum" declared Miss
Downey, els the mechanical process of
teaching children to read; but strange
as it may seem the masses of our
children come through the schools
without learning how to read.
ION testing this out in q number
Of our leading cities a few years ago,
# was found. that in no other study
were the children and teachers more
enthusiastic till about the 4th or 5th
grade, when the interest began to
drop and SO continued to the end of
