them, and tell the country that his col leagues were altogether wrong.
 In the immigration fight the democrats turned on Senator Reed Senators Stan ley of Qentucky Harrison and Williams of. Mississippi, Caraway of Arkansas, AsEurst of Arizona and Heflin of Ala bama, paid their respects to him, and with logic, wit and ridicule so thoroughIy rlddled his Superior argument that nothing of it save threads was left. And finally, only one man on the roll call stood with Reed. That man was Reed.
 THE REED POLICY
 It is to be recalled that when Senator Harrison of Mississippi, a few days ago, delivered his invective against Col. Georgo Harvey, American ambassador to the court of St. James, it was Senator Reed who made answer. Of course, it was a party controversy. And of course there were numbers of republican senators anx- ious to make reply to Senator Harrison. But they concluded that their case would be made all the stronger if it was de- fended by democrat So they permit ted Reed to proceed. He did not answer the argument of Senator Harrison He did not take up the case, charge by charge. On the contrary, in his "su- perior manner he waived aside the en- tire speech, contented himself with the announcement that it was the result of an intense partisanship. and that there was nothing of merit or force connecteS with it.
 Likewise, in the fight for and against the Knox resolution declaring the exis- tence of state of peace between the United States and Germany. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska made the princi- pal speech against the resolution. It was answered by. Senator Reed. The Mis- sourian took the broad position that Sen ator Hitchcock and all the other demo- crats, except himself, were foolish and

Ozark, May 6.-Y.

 Holman bought the Taylor woman g interest in the lands some time ago and started suit in the state courts to re- cover the property The lower court, ac- cording to Holman, sustained his claim, and now the supreme court of the state has affirmed that decision

 Knockout Blow
By, HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 BOD DnYihsnn RniIdinn

Washington, May Special. 1.-The ex- pected has happened, and the democrats have turned against Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, and destroyed him It was in course of the passage through the Senate of the immigration bill
 Prior to the slaughter of the Missouri ralcontent he had consistently assumed the role of chief rebuker of the demo- cratic party in the Senate. It had been lis habit to chastise any democrat who took position violently opposed to the plan of the republican majority, or it's purposes, or policies. So dependably in this respect had the Missouri senator come to be, that the republicans quietly sat during democratic barrage in conf- dence that one democrat would stand by

than those of the natives because they settled around schoolhouses, whereas in less densely populated communities the children reached the schools with com paratively great inconvenience.
 Senator Reed squirmed ana attempted to make answer. Then Senator Caraway took up his argument that immigrants must be worthy because the ancestors of tho senators were immigrants He proved that in other ages men came to this country for. adventure, and to evade re- ligious and political persecution, where as now they came to evade arrest for crime, to escape just financial obligation. to acquire large wages and to overthrow the government. Again Reed squirmed and attempted to answer
 Senator Heflin repeatedly made the very broad intimation that Reed was ami mated by a desire to appease his large German and pro-German constituency: that his present opposition was simply the continuation of his course which be- came notorious during the great war, and that the reason for both procedures was identical Senator Heflin contended that the men whom Reed defended were not concerned with whether the govern- ment was 'overthrown" or blown up" just so it was destroyed
 THE REBUkE COMPLETE
 When Reed. late in the afternoon. at tempted to secure the floor again. Sem ator Ashurst, who was endeavoring to speak, said ''I wish to remind the sen ator that he is a considerable part of the Senate, but not all of it. All men who deem Themselves intellects, proceed with the sublime assurance that no other in- divdual knows anything. All of us are getting a little tired of it."
 And on the roll call Reed alone stood out against the bill. He had convinced himself thoroughly that his contentious contained merit, and probably that he lone knew the exact remedy that

DEMOCRATS RESENT TT


 The democrats. naturally, grew tired of their schoolmaster. Irrespective of the strength or weakness in their cases they thought it more becoming that they be answered by the republicans rather than by one of their own number. They re- scented the seeming discourtesy of Reed. They resented what they conceived to be the fact that Reed was playing awith the republicans, and with the large for eign vote in Missouri for his personal advantage at their expense.
 So they prepared to destroy him. In course of the fight for the immigration bill Reed defended the immigrants and assailed the bill which would restrict their influx into the United States. He spoke one entire afternoon, and then hes itated with the understanding that he would resume the following morning He spoke the following morning
 He argued, from statistics. that chl- dren of immigrants were better school attendants than children of native-born Americans; that the localities in which they settled were richer than the localf- ties in which natives predominate. He compared Massachusetts with Alabama. Pennsylvania with South Carolina, New York with Georgia, and to his own sat isfaction proved that Massachusetts, and New York were richer. more populous and had better schools than the sister states of the south.
 BACKFIRE IS ON
 And then commenced the bombardment. Senator Williams of Mississippi supplied the logic. He proved that immigrants set tied in popuous centers because there they could secure employment; that their children were better school attendants,

DID NOT ORGANIZE A
KANSAS DEFENSE LEAGUE

National Defense League of Kansas
was not organized Wednesday, as
was expected.
Johnny Allen made good talk and
told how Townley manipulated the
machinery of the state government
and proved his alliance with the So
cialist party in manner which should
have been convincing to any open
minded person.
However, the crowd, small at the
start, kept leaving, until when the
talk was finished, but handful re-
NAMED, and no attempt was made to
organize.
Those who went from Liberal to
the meeting at Salina, and attended
Townley's meeting, realize the grav-
ity of the situation, and felt that
something should be done to stop
Townley in Kansas. The meeting
was called and it was the intention
to lay the matter before the farmers
and let them decide for themselves
whether or not they wished to organ
ize and backfire against the Townley
invasion.
They did not come out in suffi-
cient numbers or show sufficient in
terest to get the organization started,
so there is no organization and likely
there will be none, unless another
start is made.
The expense of the hall and the
advertising will be borne by the
three men who gave their time to go
Salina to get the information, and
the matter will be dropped.
The reason for this is that it would
be no use to have an organization
of business men go against Townley
Most business men know what the
deal is, and would be glad to spend
their money to save the state from
ruin, but it would help Townley just
that much, for his great plea is that
the business interests are fighting
him. The business men are posted
on his plan. but the farmers are not
and 1t was planned to give them the
information and let them do as they
desired.
The writer was one of the three

railroad fare and hotel bills, anc
gave two days of our time to the trip
We have no interest at stake, othe

won't. We had rather keep him Oh

can leave, and that is just what WI
expect to do.

ing every endeavor to put social

would leave the state before We
would submit to it.

facts of Townleyism, but we hav'

Therefore, we have concluded thai

that we are backing proposition II
