The return of Senator James
A. Reed from a tour of Missou-
ri, which took him into nearly
every section of the state and
which generally is understood to
have been made with a view of
learning Democratic sentiment
with reference to the senatorial
race this summer, has excited
widespread interest. Despite a
constant fire Of questions from

his political intentions.

smilingly declared to all such
questions and has even declin-

tion may be anticipated.
Regardless of his sphinx-like
attitude Democrats in the Sem
ate generally believe that Sena-
tor Reed will be a candidate to
succeed himself and the little
straws that show which way the
wind is blowing would indicate
that the wish is not entirely
parent to the thought. At that,
however, there is no concealing
the fact that Democratic sena-
tors, both pro-League and Anti
League, favor the return of SEN
ator Reed, although the report
that some of them might un-
dertake to aid him is wholly
without foundation. The Demo-
Gratis of Missouri will be left
free to express their choice at
the primary but there is no
doubt, if Senator Reed is the
nominee, that all factions in the
party would unite to aid him be-
fore the November election.
All this is due to the high re-
gard which Senator Reed has
won for himself as the ablest
debater in the Senate, on either
side of the chamber. 1t is free
ly admitted that he is more than
a match for any senator, and
while some of the Democrats
resented bitterly his position on

cede he was sincere and point

Chronic Constipation.


There are people who never

without it is produced by a ca
tharic. Most Of them have
brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics
that take too much water out of
the system and aggravate the
disease they are meant to re-
lieve. A mild laxative tonic like

gentle movement of the bowels
that you hardly realize has been

WAR SCANDALS NOT WANTED
Representatives John of South
Dakota and Woodruff of Michigan,
ex-service men, are persistent in
their demands that Congress should
make a wholesale investigation of
alleged fraudulent war contracts.
There has been an evident purpose in
both the Senate and House to squelch
all such attempts. 1t will be recalled
that at the close of the war there
was huge outcry over the millions
wasted in aircraft. A few months
ago the Government caused the ar
rest of Charles w. Morse and some
of his associates who had been en-
gagged in ship-building. The Morse
case has not yet been brought to
trial.
The two Congressman who are
pressing matters at this time seek
to uncover Of the Bosch Magnetic
Company and the activities of the
Chemical Foundation Company have
been pointed out as particularly rich
prospects in official scandaldom. The
connection of the former Alien Pro-
perty Custodians, Palmer and Gar
vim, with these matters, has been the
subject for endless criticism, and at
tempts have been made to air the
matters in the Senate and House. But

The Fordney tariff bill now con-

by the time the measure gets through
the Upper House and back to the
Lower House it is doubtful whether
Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
Means Committee, will be able to
recognize his child. The number of
amendments is a record, but the
Senate usually re-writes most Of the
tariff bills in this manner. Con-
gressmen recall that when the I'm

it was called perfect bill" But
Notwithstanding the approval it re-
ceived from party leaders, the Sen
ate made hundreds of amendments to

TALKED 1T so MUCH
THEY BELIEVE IT

No matter how deep in the dol
drums the industrial and financial
situation has sunk, the Administra-
ton has always described the "signs
as favorable" 1t seems to be the
duty of the Government to cheer up
and encourage the county, even
though it is necessary at times to
play up apparently unimportant mat
tiers in order to stimulate the optim-
istic spirit. Better times" has
been talked SO much that those who
have kept up the cheerful babble have
grown to believe that the country
Is on the upgrade; and they point
to improved farm conditions, the
boom in the stock market, and the
speeding up of industrial concerns
to prove that they always were
right-and never were wrong. Some
of the leaders even appear to be-
lieve that they talked the country
back into good times, and in the
Fall elections many of them may
seek to impress upon the, voters that
their faith that right makes might"
has been the salvation. of the Nation.

home of Thomas Jefferson, author of

mansion and buildings are surround

in fisst-class condition. 1t is said
that Thomas Fortune Ryan offered
$75O,000 for the place in 1912, but
the owner, former Congressman JEFF

lived on the estate for a century or
more, has refused to sell Monticello

IN THIS weeks issue Of the Times
appears call for a county conven-
tion of Independent Progressive Re
publicans to be held at the Du Pont
Club in this city on May 10th, at
which a county organization will be
formed and at which delegates will
be selected to the State Conference
to be held at Milwaukee on June LIST,
to select candidates to represent the
Republican party on the State tic
ket.
The county convention as well as
the state convention is an open forum
where delegates may express their
ideas ard is open to all Republicans
who are opposed to radicalism and
the non-partisan league as repre-
scented by the political activities of
IaFcllette and the present state adj
ministration.
The county conference as well as
the state conference is a protest
against methods in our state govern
ment such as have been pulled off by
the political bosses of Wisconsin,
wherein the people at large have had
no voice whatever in selecting the
candidates.
Some weeks ago Senator LaFol-
lette called together at Madison a
mere handful of his staunch follow
ers and gave them the names OF the
men he had selected for the several
state officers. You and Mr.. Voter,
had no voice in this proceeding.
Never before in the history of politi-
cal organizations has there been a
more fragrant instance of political
bossism than in that proceeding,
wherein one man named the entire
state ticket.
The Independent Progressive Re-
publicans who believe that the people
should have voice In the selection
of those whom they want to admin
lister the state government, have call
ed these county conventions for the
purpose Of selecting delegates to re-
present the several counties of the
state in the state convention, and
only those candidates selected by
these representatives from all parts
of the state will have the endorse
ment of this organization.
The county convention is not to
be dominated by any man or set of
men, but is open to all republicans
who are against the La Toilette
Blaine crowd and radicalisrn.

THE value of the patral system on

ways is being demonstrated this
spring. Within week after the pa
trolmen took up their duties the
roads were in fine condition for
travel, while without the patrol sys-
tenn it would be weeks before the
roads were in fit condition. 1t is
the proper method of keeping up the
highways. In the past it was the
plan to grade up piece of road and
then leave it with the result that it
was soon as bad as before it was
fixed. Under the patrol system the
roads improve.

FIXING 1T UP WITH MEXICO

''There has. been no change in the
policy which this Government has
laid down in regard to Mexico" This
is the phrase that succeeded watch
full waiting" And just as people
wondered and wondered about
watching waiting" so have they
wondered about the "no change"
episode. All! But there is light
upon the shadows, and it all turns
out that that United States is ne
gotiating ga treaty of amity and
commerce" with Mexico. When it,
is signed, sealed and delivered in
Mexico City and Washington, rela-
tions between the two countries will
be automatically resumed. The
Washington explanations are to the
effect that our Government will not
seek to humiliate Mexico by maxi
ing that Government give us as
surances in writing that American
rights and American citizens will
be respected and that the Mexican
Government will observe the rules
of international law commonly held
valid between civilized nations.
Nothing of the sort! All we are
going to do with Mexico is to- draw
up treaty in which every one Of the
above conditions will be scrupuously
included, an dthen we will sign it
with Merico instead of asking that
Government to sign it all alone. It
will be treaty not "humiliat-
