News of the death of Hon. VIM. B.
Edgar, which occurred on Tuesday,
September 9th, at his home in Irop-
ton, will be received with deepest re-
gret by the many friends throughout
the State of this excellent and ex-
ceptional gentleman, who has for
many years been recognized as one
of the truly big men of this State. He
belonged to the old school of poll
ticians, who were also gentlemen and
statesmen, under whose wide .guid-
ance the best interests of the Demo-
cratic party, to which he was a stead
fast adherent, was always the one
chief idea. Col. Edgar was for many
years close personal friend and CO.
worker of such men as Senators Vest
and Cockrill, Stone and Clardy, and
it is doubtful if he was ever absent
from Democratic State convention.
But not only as politician did he
rank high in this State. He was gen.
orally in the forefront of things gen.
orally Sand was looked upon to lead
by host of devoted followers.
Deceased was 70 years old when
death claimed him. The funera. SER
vices were held at 2:3O o'clock We'd

Masonic fraternity, Of which Col. Ed
gar was member in good stadinng

Prohibition in California.

(From the San Francisco Chreniele.)
No experienced person will attempt
to foretell with any confidence the
effect of any radical change in the
law, in respect to which the effect of
prohibition on the fortunes of Cali
fornia wine grape growers is a strik-
ing example. Wine grapes which be-
fore prohibition sold at from $12 to
SIS per ton, accordsag to sarie.97s are
now in more active demand than ever
at three Zines those prices and more.
Whereas in the year in which amend
ment took effect wine grape grow
ers were preparing to dig up their
vines, they are now feverishly strug
Cling to get the largest possible new
acreage planted at the earliest possi-
Bile time. The wineries are being
rapidly put out of business, not be-
cause any less wine is being made,
but because individuals will pay more
for grapes to be made into wine at
home than any wine maker would
pay for the same grapes for COM
mercial pressing. Even with trans
portation added it is doubtful whether
wine in the family costs more than ii
cost before prohibition. When casks
and bottles have once been accumulat.
ed the ultimate consumer absorbs all
profits except those of the grower
The railroad rates on the complete
grape must yield more revenue thar
the much smaller tonnage of the wine
even at higher prices. AS to the
comparative quality of the product
we suspect that the comparison is moi
30 alluring to the sinner. The max.
ing of really good wine is an ar'
which must be learned by experience
and requires adequate equipment
But there is no trouble about getting
he kick and the taste adapts itself tt
'hatever it regularly meets. 1t ii
i'd that wine is now made in mil
n homes in the country. Whatever
number, it is enough to show tina

A Disgraceful Treaty. On
(St. Louis Post, Dispatch

In his speech opposing the German
treaty framed under the Knox resolu-
ton Senator Borah squarely hit the
disgraceful point when he said: 'We
cannot take the position and main
tain it before the world that we will
place on France the burden of fexecut-
ing the treaty and then claim all the
privileges. 1t is an intolerable, an in
defensible position and I predict we
will not maintain it long, We are
tied in, completely, to the Versailles
treaty. We can never get any bene-
fit from it except as we help to exc
cute it.''
This statement of the moral COM
pulsion that rests upon US to under
take the responsibilities and obliga-
tions of the treaty when we claim its
benefits, and of the gross immortality
of our attempt to reap benefits with
ost assuming obligations, ought to be
clear to any man of understanding,
but Senator Lodge either cannot see
the point or is utterly Indifferent to it.
He not only admits, but boasts, that
the treaty preserves all the rights
and interests of the United States un-
der the Versailles treaty." Under it
1--WE secure every advantage that the
United States> desires to secure and
have not been asked to make any
concessions that will be embarrass
ing" We are ssleft absolutely free in
regard to assuming any obligations
under the Versailles treaty"
Who would ask US to make Con-
cessions and to assume obligations
and responsibilities of the Versailles
treaty? Certainly Germany would
not ask us to execute the treaty and
we have ignored our former war as
sociatiates with whom our repre-
sentatives framed the treaty. We
are free because we are strong enough
to do as we please, regardless of our
moral obligations and the rights and
interests of others.
The making of this treaty is one OF
the most unscrupulous assertions Of
the right of might in history and
Sena torLodge's speech is Grass and
| impudent defense of it.
Can we afford to repudiate oui
moral obligations? Can we who
erected the banner Of right and JUS
tice in the war afford to make brnta
interest supported by might our
rule of conduct? The law of right il
inexorable. Its violation brings heavy
penalties. The ratification of this
treaty, followed by the seizing of it,
advantages and privileges and the
repudiating OF its obligations and re-
sponsibilities, will mark the fall o.
the United States in the esteem o.
mankind. Who will trust us here
after?

organization say they expect to see
the day when st. Louis will rival
Pittsburg as an iron producing and
manufacturing center and that this
territory will eventually surpass the
Birmingham district.
1t is this sort of vision that turns
barren wastes and raw resources into
wealth. 1t takes nerve and daring to
develop any new enterprise such as
this. But more men of daring are be-
ing attracted to the Ozarks and the
pioneers will bring still others.
1t is possible that some of the
numerous test wells now being drill
ed in Southern Missouri will develop
an oil and gas field. Oil and gas
showings have been encountered in
several of these tests. There is an
abundance of water available for the
development of cheap water power
in this section. Given a combination
of cheap power and cheap fuel, the
quick development of other Ozark
resources, minerals, etc, would rap
idly follow.
There are big things in prospect for
South Missouri. The hen and the
COW are doing their part now, but
they will have more important part
to play, once the Industrial resources
of this area are developed, for the
task of feeding the throngs of in
dustrial workers that would be at
tracted here will involve no small
effort. And the Ozark country is
equal to the requirements.
