Mr.. Degman is quite sarcastic
about the ancient methods Of Mr.
Wilson and his satraps.

but ancient, at least. in American
politics.

Senator Reeds Victory.

IS not proper to interpret Senator Reeds
i victory in Missouri reputation of Wood
row Wilson. Mr., Reed on the strength of his
own colorful personality. Thousands voted for him
and will vote for him again who do not approve OF
half the positions he has taken on national and
international questions during the past few years.
Senator Reed sometimes has been accused OF
being more of an actor than statesman Actors
tor that matter usually are popular than
statesmen. Charlie Chaplin or Mary Pickford will
draw . larger audience any day than Charles E
Hughes or David Lloyd George. But the senior
Senator from Missouri is more than an actor With
the Exception of Woodrow Wilson himself, per-
haps, he is OF the most dramatic personalities
before the American people today

NEWBERRY's "VINDICATION.'

Senator Townsend's supporters in
Michigan are interpreting his re-
nomination as vindication OF his
policies in the Senate, including his
support OF Senator Newberry. This
Interpretation, in view OF all the
facts, is thin and sickly defense
Of Michigans senatorial team.
Unfortunately the opposition, like
ancient Iaul, was divided into
three parts. At the present writing
Townsend had polled q primary yote
OF I36,535. His nearest opponent
had 10 his credit 1870 votes. B..t
the total piled up for Mr.. Townsend's
opponents was 22S,7S5. What kind
Of an Endorsement OF Senator Town
send and Newberry's moneybags is
this? DID any Republican Senator
seeking denomination ever receive a
more stinging repudiation of his own
party?
Michigan is rocll-ribbed Republi-
can State. But it Will be interest
ing to observe what such State will
do to Townsend in the final election,
when the opposition to Newberryism
will be concentrated in a single can
didate.
And had that been "run-oli," at
ter the primary, like some states
have, Mississippi for instance, where
would be Newberry aud Townsend?

STILL in CAB WHICH
WENT THROUGH BRIDGE
(By United Press)

Denver, Colo, March 15.-Engi-
neer George Fouts is back at the
throttle on No. 1884, Burlington To-
connective that carried him into the
flooded waters Of the Platte river
near Union, Colo, last June.
Fouts, on 1884, carefully piloted
a long train of Pullmans through a
rain storm from Alliance, Neb., into
Colorado during the storms of last
June that caused the disastrous Pueb-
10 flood. Nearing the Platte river
bridge at Union, Fouts slowed down
his train until it was barely creeping.
Out on the bridge crept the huge To-
connective. There was crash. The
engine was precipitated into the
stream. The broken air brake con-
nection on the carried applied the
brakes that stopped the train and
saved hundreds from drowning when
the bridge collapsed. ~ =.
Fouts and his fireman, Elmer Sned-
eker, went down with the locomotive.
The engineer chung to log and was
rescued half mile down the river.
Six months later, the locomotive
was brought up from the river. To-
day it is pulling its regular. trains
from Alliance to Denver. And Engi-
necr Touts is in the cab. -,
