HARBOR SUCTION DREDGE

On Wednesday morning at S:30 the Suction dredge in Snake river settled to the bottom.

The hull rapidly fill ed with water and the boat went to the bottom of the river, about three feet of the superstructure remained above the water. As the high wind and water subsidede by Thursday morning the owners immediately started their pumps and raised the boat. New motors were procured and installed and before tonight the machine will again be digging the gravel of the harbOr. unless another storms makes operations to rough to work. n.-
 The owners of this machine have lad more than their share of dim cult.es to overcome and during the entire s..n mer have contecced with al verse conditions. The govern has extended the time for complc' ton of tfe Harbor dredging until the close ef navigation and the con. tractors gre masiue every effort to comply with the requirements.

Recent Scandals Of Harding Administra

h
AT the rate (which they are break
ing, the scandals Of the Harding ad-
ministration promise to outnumber
those Of all his Republican predeces-
sors for generation.
The Daugherty- Fielder Morse scan
dal. thoroughly exploited BY the daily

an administration scandal. Attorney
General Daugherty was the personal
selection OF President Harding. and
was Senator Harding's conven-
tion campaign manager.
In recalling the Newberry scandal
it will be remembered that Senator
Newberry was personal friend and
social favorite OF President Harding;
that two men indicted with Newberry
were appointed by President Hard
ing to be United States district at
torneys in Michigan; that the ap-
pointment of the notorious Nat Gold
stein was made in the face Of genera
public knowledge OF his connection
with the Lowden primary slush fund;

The following, under Letters from

Post Dispatch of May 2Sth. The senti-
mont therein expressed will probably
meet the approval Of both Democrats
and Republicans throughout the state

Political interest is now centered in
the senatorial contest, particularly the
Reed-Lopg fight, but it seems to me the
voters Of Missouri, men and women,
should be no less interested in the
judicial election. We shall have to fill
three vacancies in the Supreme Court
in the November election, and we ought
to exercise Dir most careful judgment N

fed by age. one of them y 4 Demo

McCumber Says Big c. o. P. Papers Are
Sordid and Mercenary.

Senator McCumber has a poor
opinion of the big Republican papers
in metropolitan com munities. Re-
plying TO their editorial criticism oi
the McCumber Profiteer Tariff bill
he accuses them of being controlled
by mercenary and sordid motives
He says:
s'Now, I have little to say upon the
subject of the papers from which
the Senator from North Carolins
(Mr. Simmons) has quoted. The
policies of practically all Of the great
metropolitan papers of the country
are governed by the counting rooms
II the great department stores do not
own stock in the great metropolitan
press Of the country, they are theil
customers, and, through the adver.
tising medium, control the policy oi
those papers. From the time of the
introduction of the great department
stores of the country until the pres.
ent time, these papers have gradually
become their mouthpieces in favor Of
practically free trade, or at least 9
very low tariff"

these leases were made secretly and
had to be ferreted out by the vigilant
John B. Kendrick, Senator from
Wyoming; that President Harding
has never yet explained his whole
sale discharge of aged and trusted
employees in the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Prip ting, nor has he done
anything to lift the cloud he placed
upon the lives of these men and
women who had won preferment in
the government service by long and
efficient service.
The foregoing takes no account of
the manner in which the President
has trampled upon the principle and
policy of the Civil Service, nor of his
many bad minor appointments

Various citizens of Flat River were
first shocked and then alarmed We'd
nesday morning when they saw GER
tain high school lassies vending their
way schoolward wearing one white
and one black stocking. For some
time no ray of light could be obtained
on this departure of the girls from
their useal staid style of covericg
their neither limbs. 1t developed
however that these girls, some fifteen
in number, had been initiated the
previous afternoon into the McDrega
Society, a dramatic club in the local
high school. and that one of the pre-
requisites to becoming fullfedged
member thereof was the wearing of
two tone hosiery the remainder of
the week. The girls accepted the
conditions and with Spartan courage
smilingly withstood stares and jeers

IRoNToN MO. THURSDAY, JUNE s, 1922.

Robert F. Walker of Jefferson City,
Democrat, is asking reelection. He is
72 years old. The term is 10 years,
which means that he would be 81 years
old at the expiration of his term. 1t is
not likely that he would finish his term
of Office, but even if he should, it is
doubtful if he would be able to render
efficient service. Judge Edward Higbee
of Kirksville, the Republican candidate,
is said to be rs years old. His age is
not given III the official manual. His
looks and acts are those of man past
10. He would be past SO by the end of
his term.
The office of Supreme Court Judge is
anything but sinecure. The work is
arduous. In order to. enable that court
to catch up with its docket. a number
OF commissioners were appointed i'll the
administration Of Gov. Major. The act
creating those commissioners is still in
force, and commissioners are still on the
job, but the court is still far behind its
docket.
The consequence is that lawyers, both
Democratic and Republican, frankly
state, in private conversation, that
younger men should be elected to the
Supreme Court though they hesitate
about saying SO openly. Their hesita-
ton is easily understood. 1t is diff
cult subject to discuss. To disqua1ify a
man because of his age seems ungraci-
GUS and harsh. Yet is one of those
realities that have to be faced. Industry
faces it. The Government, in many Of
its departments, faces it, and, like many
industries, makes provision for men who
have reached the age of retirement.
| The same common sense should apply to
our courts. 1t is false sentiment that
would shirk it.
/ would suggest that the constitutional
convention now in session, take up this
! question and fix an age limit for the
Judges of all courts Of record, with hon
orable provision after retirement.
In the meantime the question is be-
fore the voters and must be met. With
all due respect to age, citizens may and
should consider their own welfare and
that of society as whole. The laws
delay is proverbial misfortune. Every
thing that may properly be done to re-
duce that delay should be done. 1t goes
without saying that our Supreme Court
| Judges should be men of character and
intellectual capacity. But they should
also have the physical vigor to perform
their vitality necessary work.
Justice should not be obstructed, for
''justice delayed is justice denied"

aInstinct" and "Reason."

Those who talk of instinct" al
taking the place of reason in the lower
animals have utterly failed to explain
this flock, or unit, "instinct" which
governs the actions of many different
kinds of birds. It is hard to believe
that the same "instinct' operates or
each individual in such a way as tt
produce the same reaction on every
individual. Other naturalists, per
haps more faneiful, believe that the
animals have some subtle means Of
communication, perhaps through the
operation Of sixth sense, and thai
the flock impulse is derived from q
kind Of reasoning instead Of from
that indefnable something which has
been called "instinct.'s 1t is a SAFE
guess that anyone who watches the
autumn maneuvers Of a flock Of black
birds will find his belief in the 'in
stinct" theory rapidly weakening.

Jeffersonian Democracy.

S. A. CLARK of Carrollton, Mo-, an
nounces himself a candidate for the
Republican nomination for U. S. Sena-
tor; but if he is not Democrrt of the
good old Jeffersonian type, my con-
ception thereof is wofully at fault,
and l have been under delusion for
sixty years. essays the greatest is-
sue before the American people to-
day is the restoration of the funda-
mental principles of government as
enunciated by the Declaration of In
dependence, written into the federal
constitution and supplemented by the
first ten amendments thereof. The
most fiagrant departure from these
principles is the usurpation of state
and personal rights by federal author
tiles and the continued encroachment
on the powers not delegated to the
United States by the constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the states, but re-
served to the states respectively, or
to the people,.
"Closely allied with this movement
toward the Capitalization OF all the
functions of government are the eff
forts of extensive religious combina-
tions and multitude of reform or
ganizstions to seize the reins of gov
.
ernment, subject civil authorities to
ecclesiastical control, repeal all con-
stitutional guarantees of civil and re-
ligious freedom, declare that Jesus
Christ is the civil ruler of this nation
and write his precepts into the laws OF
our land. The success of this pro-
gram Of the religious bigots and legal
reformers depends upon the continu-
cd Capitalization of all authority IN
an autocratic government at Wash
ington. The national reformers, who
are secularizing the church in an
effort to Christianizethe government, T.,
characterize the federal lconstitutionEas
Goddess and Christless, and a "dan-
gerous weapon in the hands of those
> who support civiland religious liberty.
Hence the first step taken after the
adoption of the eighteenth amend
ment was to propose the nineteenth
amendment, providing for the pro
per acknowledgment of God as the
source Of all power, Of Jesus Christ as
the civil ruler of this nation, and OF
his word as supreme in the funda-
mental law of the land If the Holy
Bible is true, the devil first made that
kind of an offer to the Son of God or
the mountain, and with resentment

And l won't ask a life that's sof,

Keep Bugs Out Of Corn.

From counties east, west and north
of the States center come reports
that chinch bugs are swarming in the
wheat. wherever the great burning
campaign last winter covered large
areas most of the bugs were killed,
but there are many spots left with
heavy infestation. In this emergency
an encouraging suggestion comes
from A. @. Burrill, of the Missouri
College of Agriculture, who says that
something can be done against the
bugs almost every month in the year.
Admittedly there is no economical
way to kill the bugs in a June wheat
field. Corn and cane are the crops to
be protected now.
For fields now being planted, U. s..
Farmers Bulletin 1928, just off the
press, urges the seeding of a trap
crop between infested grain and the
border of newly planted corn and sor-
ghum fields. This should be sown at
once, one or two drill rows wide, 80
as to be four or six inches high at
wheat harvest. After wheat cutting,
the bugs will fall upon this green crop
and can then be plowed under or kill
ed with kerosene or oil emulsions.
Anothar way to beat the bug is to
give up the idea of planting corn near
heavily infested land, using instead a
legume, rape or sunfiowers. Farmers
who still are planting corn between
rains can profitably plant soybeans or
cowpeas on five or ten acres of the
cornfild nearest the bugs. A strip OF
these will make dense shade and
will discourage the bugs from migrat- :
ing further toward the corn.

GERMAN PAPERS
ALMOST FACING
DIFFERENTIATION

Washington, August 1S.-(By the
Associated Press German papers
are facing determination, according to
Il report to the commerce department
today from commercial attache Her
ring at Berlin. Enormously increased
cost of operation. he said. together
with the impossibility of increasing
subscription and advertising rates
proportionately have brought about a
crisis in the German newspaper
world and already III newspapers
have closed down their plants per-
,manently.
Printers wages, the attache report
ed. have increased about 200 per-
cent over the pre-war levels, the price
of newsprint, paper has advanced
more than 500 per cent, the cost of
machinery. printers ink and other
supplies has jumped about 40 times
over pre-war rates. and the great in
crease in the postal, telephone and
telegraph service has severely affected
the publishers.
On the other hand, he said the sub
scription price of German newspapers
about 1900 per cent, while it has
been impossible to advance advertis-
ing rates to compensate for present
operating COSTS without affecting the
volume of business.
The suggestion has been made that
the government reduce taxation af-
fecting newspaper costs or that the
press be subsidized through the min
lister of education to prevent the det-
rimental effect upon the nation of the
loss of an active and efficient press
service.
at is, of course, difficult" Mr.. Her
ring said, "for German newspapers to
maintain an adequate foreign staff
particularly in high exchange coun-
tries. Unless the conditions improve
the German people may eventually be-
come largely dependent upon the for
eign news service of the entente and
other foreign countries for their inter

Drought conditions have increased
the menace to alarming proportions,
according to state forestry officials,
and tonight more than 1000 men were
fighting the fires in various sections.
Official reports tonight were that
the towns of Fairbanks, Silver Creek
and Pimio in Lake county, all small
settlements, had been destroyed, the
refugees mainly fleeing to Two Har-
bors. Cotton and Central Lakes in
St Louis county also were reported
destroyed.
