FIGHTING SENATOR REED
 WINS IN MISSOURI

The gallant fight Senator James A. Reed made in Missouri has won the reluctant ad- miration of his enemies He was opposed by a combination that would have defeated less resourceful politician. While it is not sweep ing victory, he wins the democratic nomna- tion over Breckenridge Long by comfortable majority
 Senator Reed and his friends realized that he had reached the critical period of his ca reer. With courage which one questions, he plunged into the struggle, asking and giving nc quarter. He made a spectacular campaign, using all his oratorical powers of ridicue and invectve and relying confidently on his strong personal following. It is said of Senator Reed fanatical loyalty to his friends. He never forgets a favor and presumably he never for gives an injury.
 The renominaton of Senator Reed IS blow to Woodrow Wilson, who injected himself into tAo T by denouncing Reed md s-o- porting his friend, and former member of his cabinet, MT. Long. It is also to some extent a repudiation of the League of Nations, which was one of Long's campaign slogans, and d reversal for the prohbtionists. Reed has al- ways had strong hold on the larger cities of Missouri, an dthere is probably wetter spot in the country than St. Louis
 Senator Reed maintained on the stump that his party was wrong and he was right It was the Wilson policies and leadership which the MT. Wilson's power over the democratic party is waning, but in any event Reeds victory must be severe disappointment, as there is perhaps no other man in public life unless it is Senator Lodge, whom MT. Wilson would rather see retired.

 A LIMIT TO NON-RESISTANCE

From the New York Times.
 In the weekly edition of the Manchester Guardian there appears long and sympa- thetc report of conversation with tMahat- ma' Gandhi, while he was in prison at An medabad just before he received his six-year sentence for his non-co-operation activities. He seemed to be in good temper and spirits and talked freely on many topcs--on all of them well, in way, but on none of them in way to demonstrate his possession of what to western mind would pass for knowledge.
 Perhaps the most notable of his statements the one that best illustrates the difficulties of the British government in dealing with a people large numbers of whom follow Gandhi as inspired and saintly leader-was in re- sponse to an inquiry as to what he would do if he, the leader of a movement he consid- CTS of vast importance, found himself con fronted and his life threatened by a crocodile would he kill or injure it?
 "No," replied the Mahatma, q should say or at least ought to say-to this crocodile, Your need is greater than mine,' and let it devour me-
 Except for the saving clause, one would have to set down as mad the man capable of making such statement as that. Evidently however, he forsees that in such an emergency as crocodile could create his non-resistance theories would yield to common sense, but he saved his consistency by declaring that he would resist the creature only because of not yet having attained plane of existence suf- fis;ently high.

PRISON IS PREFERABLE TO JERSEY MOSQUITOES

The terror inspired by New Jersey mosqui- convicts would rather return to prison than en- dure their onslaughts any longer, one is forced to conclude that insects which have been the theme of song and story deserve their blood thirsty reputation.
 When State Trooper E. Paul Sjostrom found James Ayres, daring desperate, forger and ex- convict, and Stanley Kamnske, alleged mur- derer, sitting on a log on New Jersey farm, neither man showed fight. Ayres said, "We surrender. You're as welcome as the flowers in May For more than 36 hours the two men, who escaped from jailNSunday, had been hiding in the huckleberry swamps of New Jersey, without food and sleeping at night bunch grass. Both were pitiful looking objects. Their clothes were in tatters and their faces, hands and bodies punctured by mosquito bites.
 q didn't mind the hunger and I wasn't afraid of all the posses and sawed-off shotguns they could muster,' Ayres said, "but these damned Jersey mosquitoes got my goat would rather spend the rest of my life in dungeon than face them.'' Yet, Ayres barri- caded himself in a deserted house last week and held an army of citizens, county detec- tives and state troopers at bay for four hours. He only capitulated when the fire depart ments of two towns shot streams of water through the windows.
 The prisoners were taken back to the Mon- mouth county jail and placed under an extra not prison make, nor iron bars cage' when outside are lurking millions of tough, wiry Jer- sey mosquitoes with unsuitable appetites and bills sharpened to puncture even convict's hide. At times life of seclusion has it's com pensations especially in New Jersey.

FAUST" WAS A REAL PERSON

From the Detroit News.
 Faust" hitherto regarded legendary character emanating from the brain of Goethe, really existed as self-styled prophet, quack doctor and peddler of fake horoscopes, ac- cording to a discovery made in the recata- loguing of the Munich library. In the diary of Canon Killian Lieb there was found this entry:
 Faust, 5 June, 1928, when the sun and love meet in the same constellation other pro- phets like myself will be born.''
 Under this Canon Lieb had written:

Stalled and Business Suspended
Generally

Washington.-The states comprising
the middle Atlantic section Saturday
were buried and were being further
buried under the heaviest snowfall
since the long-remembered one Of Feb

The storm, which began with almost
unprecedented falls Of snow in the
Carolinas and Virginia Thursday, crept
up the coast, leaving buried cities,
stalled trains, disrupted trolley service
and general suspension of business
and social activities In its wake 1t
had reached the edge Of New England
early Saturday, although its center re-
manned off the Virginia capes.
The blanket of snow was heaviest in
the District of Columbia, with the fall
recorded early Saturday morning as
an even two feet At that time it was
still showing, and the weather bureau
prediction was continuation Of the
fall through the day and into the night.
Reports to the weather bureau
showed the fall of snow at Baltimore
stood IA inches. Lynchburg, Va, re-
ported 20 inches, the heaviest in the
history of that city.

FARM BUREAU HEAD PRAISES
CONFERENCE ACHIEVEMENTS
President Howard Says Meeting Most
Far-Reaching of Any Kind Ever
Held In u. S.

Washington.-The national agricul.
tural conference, which closed Satur.
day night, after adopting recommends
lions designed to alleviate farm de-
preston and prevent occurrences of
such a condition, was hailed as "the
most far-reaching conference Of farm
ers ever held" in a statement issued
by ]. r. Howard, president American

The recommendations of the confer
ence were endorsed by Mr.. Howard.
Referring to President Harding's
suggestion in opening the conference
that the farmers seek to unite in CO.
operative organizations, Mr.. Howard
said:
1.-THE farm bureau will undertake to
organize all the farmers and unite
them into strong commodity marketing
associations which will improve the
distribution Of food to the lasting bene-
tit to both consumer and producer.
We want to bring the eater and the
grower closer together.
"The agricultural conference will go
down into history as the most far
reaching conference of farmers ever
held. The topmost feature Of course
was the address of the president of the
United States and commitments which
1t contained OF the administration
attitude howard agriculture. Probably
no chief executive of the nation has
previously indicated so deep and In
telligent interest in the farmers af-
fairs.
THE conference would probably
never have been possible except for the
work of congressional joint committee
of agriculture inquiry under the pro-
gressive leadership of Chairman Sid
ney Anderson. To President Harding,
Secretary Wallace and Chairman An
derson the farmers of America are to-
day rendering a sincere vote of thanks
for this opportunity to present their
case to the nation and to seek a just
and lasting remedy for the benefit of

persons were killed and scores injured
Saturday in the collapse under the
weight of two feet of snow on the
roof OF the Knickerbocker theater, q
motion picture house, located In the
heart Of Washlnztons fashionable

that the building only recently had
been inspected and approved and that
the collapse of the roof only could have
been caused by the tremendous weight
imposed by the heaviest snowfall that
has visited here since 1892 The roof
fell with such force as to drive three
concrete pillars through the orchestra
floor. Up near the stage, however Its
