LLOYD GEORGE DECLARES
RUSSIA KEY TO PEACE
British Premier Warns Commons of
the Soviet Peril-Reds Must
Have Aid.

London. May 26.-It is necessary
for the powers 10 make some arrange
ment with Russia 10 save the peace OF
the world. Premier Lloyd George told
the house of commons in opening de-
bate upon the British policy at the
Genoa economic conference. The pre-
mier outlined the results Of the con-
ference and defended his own Genoa
policy against criticism.
Replying TO criticisms Of the CONVEX
satiOns which took place outside Of the
Genoa conference. Premier Lloyd
George asserted:
"The success of the Washington
conference was due TO the private con-
versations between A. J. Balfour, Sec
rotary Of State Hughes and the head
of the japanese delegation.
MANY obstacles In the way OF Eu-
ropean reconstruction have been re-
moved" said the premier. "The at
mOsphere of war that remains is due
TO suspicion regarding Russia.
"The Russo-German treaty ttreaty
Of Rapallo) is evidence of the peril of
leaving Russia isolated until the coun-
try becomes completely sovietized.
Germany cannot re-equip Russia
economically. She has not sufficient
capital. But as regards armament re-
equipment, one country has the raw
materials and the other has the tech
niCians.
If there had been a Genoa confer
ence IN 1914 the World war could have
been prevented.
"Some arrangement with Russia Is
necessary to save the peace Of the
world. There are millions of fighting
men in Russia. II is a question now
whether they are going to march for
ward or retreat"
The premier said he could not pre-
dict that the results az Genoa would
be an absolute success. adding: "But
i'm the event of failure the position of
Europe would be tragic"
"The powers tried force against Rus
STA and failed" continued the premier.
Isolation is impossible. The other al
tentative. recognition, is futile. We
are lighting the battle of peace"

THAT DEAD ISSUE"

There has been good deal said in
the recent primary campaign about
the League Of Nations being dead
that it is dead issue. That may in a
partial sense be true in the United
States, but we doubt even that. for it
is still living factor in the minds and
hearts of many of our people. That
the League of Nations itself is not
dead is the fact that it continues to
function in Europe with South Amer
lea and the Orient closely associated
with it and represented in its councils.
The latter part of July there was a
meeting of the Council of the League
in London called for the purpose of
discussing the mandates question.
There was nothing spectacular about
the meeting to attract attention in
this country. but grave consideration
by grave men was given the subjects
under consideration, and important
matters such as control Of the opium
traffic and the prevention of white
slavery" were dealt with. But the
League is gravely handicapped even
in the simpler matters that come up
for its consideration Of questions af-
fecting all the world, purely humani-
tartan projects, by the non-participa-

MRS. ST. CLAIR MOSS

You, and especially the lady readers
of The Times, will be interested in
the article on the second page telling
how Mrs. st. Clair Moss of Columbia
obtained the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the Eighth district.
1t tells of the thorough canvass she
made, the difficulties she surmounted,
some of her witty quips and wise OBJ
servations and her familiarity with
the political and economic issues con-
fronting the American people.
The writer also gives you clear in
sight into the character of this ad-
mirable, progressive, forward looking
and altogether charming lady, as ev-
cry one who knows her comedies her
to be. Don't fail to read the article.
You will be interested in every de-
tail, and be drawn to her as were the
voters of the Eighth district.

OUR STATE FAIR

The Missouri State Fair opens its
gates at Sedalia tomorrow, the 10Th,
to close on the Goth. The publicity
director of the fair says visitors will
be amazed at the mammoth proper
tons of the fair this year.
1t is to be hoped so and that the
fair will recover largely the favor
which the manner in which it was con-
Quoted last year lost it. Last year it
will be remembered that the fair suf-
fered considerable deficit; Governor
Hyde and Lieutenant Governor Lloyd
exploited themselves and gratified
their vanity at the expense of the tax
payers of the State by having their
pictures flashed on the ETHEREAL dome
with expensive fireworks, and hun
dreds of politicians of their peculiar
, breed were conducted by them through
the "free gate" while the unfavored
farmer and respectable citizens paid

wonder that there should have been a
deficit and that the State Fair was
lowered in the estimation of farmers
and the people in general?
The publicity director would have
US believe that this year it is to be
ian agricultural fair" and that re-
turn to the real "old-fashioned COW
and pumpkin fair" is meeting the ap-
proval of farmers Of the State and is
possibly responsible for the large
number of entries. The people fav-
or a well-conducted State Fair, for the
purpose of encouraging agriculture,
cattle breeding, industrial progress,
improvements in farm machinery, and
all that goes to develop the resources
and wealth of our wonderfully re-
sourceful State, and they are willing
to "pay the freight" But if it is to
be turned into an occasion for ex-
plotting and gratifying the vanity of
cheap State officials and politicians
its usefulness will be utterly de-
stroyed. Here's hoping that the pub
lefty directors forecast of a real
agricultural fair" will be realized in
its largest sense.

OUT FOR SPEAKER

Representative Charles Sutton of
Ellington, Reynolds county, was in
Pennington last Saturday and made
the Times an agreeable call Mr..
Sutton represented his county in the
Fifty-first General Assembly and was
nominated for reelection at the
recent primary. Reynolds county is one
of the counties in this congressional
district where Democratic nomina-
ton is equivalent to election, which
means that he will be a member of the
Fifty second General Assembly. He
is an aspirant for the speakership of
the House, and besides the fact that
he has had the experience of one term,
he can point with some pride to an
other fact that we doubt if any men,
Der of that body can parallel. Four
generations of his family have repre-
scented Reynolds county in Legisla-
lures of this State: himself, his ia.
Their and his grandfather and great
grandfather on his mothers side Of
the family.

Bill of RIGHTS

Few changes have ben made by the
Bill of Rights Committee in it's report
to the convention. Capital punish
ment has been abolished by slight
change in Section rs of the present
constitution. Section IL, dealing with
criminal prosecutions by indictment
or information, has been simplifed
and the meaning clarified. Section %,
referring to trial by jury, majority
verdicts and grand juries, has been
changed and simplified, to read as fol-
lows: "The right Of trial by jury, as
heretofore enjoyed, shall remain invi-
olate in all actions at law, either civil
or criminal, whether arising under the
common law or any statute; but the
Legislature may authorize trial by a
jury of less number than twelve jul
rors, except in felony cases, and may
also provide by law that less than the
whole number of jurors may return a
verdict, except in criminal cases. The
legislature may also provide for a
grand jury of less than twelve jurors
and may provide that less than the
whole number of grand jurors may re-
turn an indictment or true bill, pro-
vided that grand juries shall not be
convened except upon an order of a
Judge of court of record"
The committee returns without rec
, ommendation the proposal which pro-
vides that "the reading of the Bible
shall not be excluded from the public
schools of the state"
This proposal resulted in tie vote
in the committee, both when added to
another section and when treated as
separate proposed section. Several
arguments in its favor were heard by
the committee and one in opposition
from a representative of the Jewish
faith. Opponents to its passage on
the committee contended that its word
ing would make it compulsory and
they were not willing to go that far.
Suggestions have been made for a
modification which would make the
reading of the Bible or selected pass
ages permissible, and these will I'M
doubtedly be made on the floor of the
convention.
Education and Public Schools
The subcommittee of the Commit
tee on Education, in it's report. pro-
vides for a board of education of eight
members to be appointed by the gov
ernor and which in turn is to appoint
state superintendent, or commission
err of education, as he is termed. This
board would have general supervision
over all the public schools of the
state; see that all laws relating to ed
ucation were enforced, and make rules
and regulations not inconsistent with
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-08-18

law for the government of the public
/ schools and of any state educational
institution which might by law be
placed under it's control. Only the
State University is exempted from be-
ing subject to direction of the pro-
posed board. In addition to appoint
ing the commissioner of education, the
board is given power to employ such
other officers, employees and commits
sioners as may from time to time be
found necessary and to fix their COM
pensation. The members of the board
are to be eight in number, not more
than half of whom are to be from one
! political party, and are to serve eight
years each, except that the term of
| the first board shall be arranged so
that one members term shall expire
each year. The new board is to start
on February l, 1923, so that the ap-
pointments will be made by the gov
ernor to be elected in 1924. Oppo-
nents to the board plan contend that
1T is revolutionary in effect and that
| it is taking away from the people the
choice of the official in whom they are
most intimately interested. They de-
clare that it is system which has
been untried constitutionally, and
while it may look like a good plan in
theory, it would be of doubtful value
in practice. They point to the prog
ress Of Missouri in educational matters
during years past in support of the
contention that the state is doing as
well as most other states under its
present system. And finally they con-
tend that there is no call from the
people themselves for any such
change. Supporters of the board plan
present statistics to show that the
board and appointment plan have been
successfully tried in several states
and that surveys and Investigations
made in Missouri and other states all
indicate that the trend is toward the
board, which they term the most eff
Gent plan for aNstate educational sys-
TEN. Arguments for and against the
subcommittee plan have been made
before the whole committee and many
interested members of the convention.
Carried by q vote of the committee
8 to Z, with one member present and
not voting; the vote was reconsidered
and lost to s, with two members not
voting. 1t is expected that the sub
committee will present minority re-
port to the convention, as it believes
majority favor some kind of board
but differ as to its constitution and
powers.
The committee voted on the section
referring. to state revenue for the pub
lie schools in case of a deficiency, in
favor of making the minimum 33 1-3
