NEWS OF THE CONSTI- .. ..~

written by ]. S. Hubbard, Execu-

citation, for week ending Sept. ~
jefferson City, Sept. by vote
of 81 to A the Constitutional Conven'
ton went on record Thursday against
adjournment sine die or recessing to
November 9. The vote came as the
result of the second attempt this week
to get the convention to adjourn, and
was on the resolution of John H. Lu-
cas-, of Osceola, calling for immediate
adjournment, and the amendment Of
John S. Haynes, of Buffalo, to recess
until November 9. The four voting
aye were Lucas, Johnson, Haynes and
Carter.
Mr.. Lucas reiterated his opposition
to the calling of the convention and
his belief that it would be impossible
for it. to do anything to improve or
the Constitution Of 1875. Mr.. Haynes
wanted to go home and talk it over
with the people. and then come back
refreshed for the Work. In this con-
nection Frank FaHris, of Rolla de.
clared that while, he had opposed the

WHAT THE COUNTRY THINKS
OF REPUBLICAN PROGRESS

According to reports from Wash
ington correspondents, the Republican
National Committee is having a
mighty hard time raising money for
its so-called Campaign of education"
to inform voters of the wonderful
progress our prosperity has made in
the last eighteen months under, a Re-
publican Congress and a Republican
President With all due respect to
the Washington correspondents, lot
of these reports are pure-simple bunk.
The Republican National Committee
never has very hard time raising
money when it needs it. One, two,
three, half dozen men, in the party
always. can be counted on to dig down

FORD'S SECOND EXPLANATION

In the first announcement of the
shutdown, effective September Is, the
Ford Motor Co. gave uncertainty of
the coal supply as the reason. That
explanation was questioned in Wash
ington official circles, and the doubt
has been verified. 1t is now admitted
from sources close to Ford, according
to the Associated Press, that brokers
have been offering coal in any quantity
with delivery guaranteed, but at prices
from 100 to 300 per cent above normal
Ford refuses to pay such prices, He
refuses to be held up. The shutdown
is the answer
In declaring war upon the prof.
teering brokers Ford says he is fight
ing the battle of other manufacturers
as well as for the public. He believes,
correctly, no doubt, that he is in a
better position than anyone else to
make this fight. Public sentiment, of
course, will be on his side.
1t is possible, perhaps, that the
Ford declaration Of war will give the
profiteers pause. The responsibility
for suspending the operation Of SO
large an enterprise and throwing such
an army of men out of employment
cannot be lightly viewed by the most
case-hardened greed. Further, il
other manufacturers, following Ford's
lead, should close down, the prof.
teers will have defeated themselves by
killing their market. This situation,
apparently, demands reconsideration
and a swift change of plans.-Post-
Dispatch.
