FOR WEEK OF JULY 4TH

The Keytesville Legion boys have
been successful in booking the
MeClelIand Carnival Shows for the
week of July 4th, commencing on
Monday and continuing for a week.
This is one of the best carnival shows
that is doing business in Missouri
this season. They have 80 conces-
sionS, 3 riding devices and have an
absolutely clean show, and on top of
all this they are recommended by the
business men of every town in which
they have concluded their engage
ments, and have played to the fol-
lowing towns in this part of the
state: Sedalia, Marshall, Moberly,
and go from Keytesville to Excel
sior springs.
As drawing card Carnival com
pany is one of the best advertising
stunts that can be put over. The
very fact that Keytesville is to have
aNcarnival during the 4th of July cele-
bration insures a great crowd, and
it is expected that the entertainment
features of the day will be taxed to
the utmost.
Come to Keytesville to celebrate
the glorious Fourth.

FORD ASKS FOR SHOWDOWN
THE SHOALS

Copyright 1922, by U. p, Dear
born, Mich. Henry Ford will make
no further revision of his offer to
lease the Muscle Shoals, he declared
today in an interview with the United
Press.
"The proposition that goes before
the house military affairs. committee
today will be the last that we will
make. We are passing it back to
congress-" said Ford.
Ford expects his revised offer,
made on the suggestion of the mill
taary affairs committee, to be receiv-
ed by Chairman Kehn today and
hopes that the committee will take
immediate action.
Washington, d. c. Henry Ford, in
a letter received by the house commit
tee today, demanded that his revised
offer for the Muscle Shoals project be
placed before the house that the entire
membership of that body might de-
termine whether it should be accept
ed or rejected.
Dearborn, Mich. Henry Ford will
not agree to the separation of the
Gorgas steam power plant from the
general Muscle Shoals project, as was
suggested by the house military af-
fairs Committee late last week in its
"model OFFER" which was presented to
Ford as a basis for "new bid"
In a few crisp sentences Ford calls
for Showdown" on the part of the
committee. He asks for the immed-
late presentation of his proposition
TO congress for acceptance Of rejec-
tion. He has called attention Of the
committee, it is reported, to the fact
that his proposition has been before
congress since July 8, 1921, and that
it is high time now that steps be
taken to bring the matter to a final
issue.

LABOR UNIONS HELD
LIABLE FOR DAMAGES

Washington, June 5.--The United
State Supreme Court today decided
that labor unions are liable, as organ
izations, to be sued and in their as
sociate names in the event of injury
to property during strikes originated
by the unions.
The decision, one of the most i'm
portant affecting labor organizations,
which has been rendered in years, was
handed down in the case of the Cor
onado Coal company and other con-
Germs of Arkansas against the United
Mine Workers of America.
The opinion was read by Chief JUS
tice Taft, who sustained in part the
decision of the circuit court of appeals
in Arkansas which held that labor
unions could be sued and that the COM
plant of the Coronado coal company
for damages for injuries to property
during strike at the company's
mines brounght the union within the
privisions of the Sherman antitrust
law and entitled the company to re-
cover treble damages.
The court held that international
union officials were not responsible
for the strike or liable in damages.
The liability rested with the local un-
ions, said the chief justice and evil
dence showed that the union miners
made attacks on the properties of the
Coronado Coal company and dam
aged the plants.
Coal mining is not interstate COM
merce the chief justice continued.
and there was offered no proof that
the local union leaders had engaged
in a conspiracy in restraint Of trade
as prohibited by the Sherman anti
trust law.
Unions are Liable
The court upheld the principle
throughout its lengthy decision that a
labor union is liable for damages.
In this particular case, the court
pbsolyed the international union from
payment Of damages awarded in the
lower court, because, as Chief Justice
Taft said there was no evidence be-
fore the supreme court Of the United
States that the international union
authorized the strike.
It was made clear, however, Mat
this in no wise affects the principle
enunciated by the court nor the prece-
dent it established. The effect Of the
decision is to allow the company, if
it so desires, to reprosecute its claims
again in the lower courts on the prin-'
ciples and the precedent established
today. kansas City Post.

SOME VIEWS ON THE
CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST

Recently we reproduced a very
timely article on the Congressional
situation from the Charlton Courier
which no doubt was read by many of
our subscribers.
If. as has been argued, it is "un-
Democratic and un-American" to keep
Judge Rucker in Congress another
term, then it follows that it is "un-
Democratic and un-American" to vote
for him. This is strange logic and
viii be rejected as unsound by most
peotie No Democrat who reveres the
memory Of Cockrell, Vest. Stone,
Bland, DeArmond, Clark, Burgess
and Brace, each of whom had long
and honorable service in official posi-
tions, will admit that it is either "un-
Democratic" or "un-American" to re-
tain the services of one who has been
tried and tested and always found
faithful in the discharge of public
duty and, at all times, responsive to
the will of his constituents.
Then, again, the charge that Judge
Rucker has held office "too long" is a
little indelicate, to say the least, when
made by one who is seeking votes, be-
cause it necessarily involves a criti-
cism of the very people whose votes
are sought. No one can hold office
without first obtaining the consent Of
a majority of his party and Judge
Rucker has not only had the consent
of a majority of the District, but, in
most instances he has the consent of
a majority of the Democrats in
each of the eight counties composing
this district. 1t he has been in office
''too long" it is because the people
| have been voting for him "too long"
It is contended that the people are no
longer capable of self-government
Are they to be criticised for daring to
cast vote according to their judg-
ment, and, that too, by one who is ap-
pealing to them to exercise their judg-
ment in his behalf?
Has Judge Rucker ever betrayed a
trust reposed in him? Has he ever
been disloyal to the principles of his
party? Has he ever proven himself
indifferent to any public interest, or
to the interest of any community or
constituent? Has he ever failed to re-
spond promptly and courteously TO
any appeal from man, woman or
child? If not, he has not been in Of
fee "to long,
His many friends point to the fact
that no suggestion of wrong-doing; or
complaint against the character of
service rendered; or disapproval of
any vote given by him in Congress has
ever been heard during his long term
of service, and that he has been on
the right side Of every important
question. This record should appeal
with convincing force to all, and
should appeal with peculiar force to
the women voters, because he has sup
ported all the great issues in which
they have been particularly interested.
We predict that the women of this
county win give him strong support.
That he expected to retire at the
end of his term, and SO announced,
cuts no figure. Conditions changed,
friends importuned him and, after
consulting many constituents-it was
impossible to consult all Of them, and
receiving their advice, he concluded

Eleven proposed amendments were
