SOCIALISM, SAYS REED

Washington, Aug. 26.-Senatof
Reed of Missouri, in the first extend
ed speech he has delivered since his
return to the senate opposed the leg
islation to relieve the coal situation
in this country.
IL don't believe, as some extrem-
lists view it," said Reed, ''that Con-
gress has the power to declare that
the mines are charged with public
use and therefore are subject to gov
ernment control. The only place
where such power could be sought, he
said. was under the commerce clause
Of the constitution.
'If the power under this clause
can be SO stretched he continued,
@then Congress can take possession Of
every dollar of property in the United
States. State socialism would then
appear in its most aggravated form.
and all that Congress would have to
dot wipe out private property would
be to pass resolution. If the com
merce clause can be stretched to that
extend then the right of every state
can be expunged. and the right of
every citizen who owns private prop
erty can be abrogatei, and under the
powers granted to Congress- to con-

West End Dump Now Safe

spring and summer up to now. The
finishing touches are now being ap-
piled and the famed west end dump is
no longer TO be crossed with fear and
with trembling.
The Courier takes this opportunity
of announcing to all the people in the
vest, northwest and southwest part
Of the county that the road can be
safeiy negotiated, and those who have
carefully avoided coming to Keytes-
vile the past year on account of the
impassible condition in this link of
their roads can now cross the dump
with no difficulty.
4he merchants of Keytesville will
appreciate this, too, for-it is known
that thousands. of dollars of business
has been deviated to other trading CEN
tiers. Trade that has always come to
Keytesville, trade that the merchants
of Keytesville have legitimate right
to expect.
The grading crew is still on the job
and the only thing wanted now is dry
weather to make the dump as good as
any piece of road in the county.
There is movement on foot at this
time to oil the dump this fall at the
time the streets of Keytesville are oil
ed for the winter. When this is done
lovers lane" will commence at the
depot and end at the western end of
the west end dump.
Say! Won't this be some speed
way?
P. S. t is expected then the sign:
Speed Limit, 12 Miles an Hour will
be manufactured, posted at each end
Of this grand thorofare, and that the
town board will appoint two traffic
cops and post at least two motor
cycle cops to attend to the speed

1t is quite within the memory Of
Keytesyille citizens as well as few
tourists, with cars, when work com
menced on the west end dump. News
papers, including the Courier have in
timated that the safest way to ira
verse this portion of the North Gross
High way was with an airplane. Some
may have thought there was bit OF
sarcasm in this. Those who occa-
sionally tempted fate as well as the
the endurance of their speed wagons,
and what little faith they had in the
survival Of the fittest, knew better.
They found out before they had
traversed either end of this thorofare
Gin the making) that the newspapers
had broken all records, and for once
had told the truth. 1t was all the pa
pers had said and then some.
The average person who drove
across in their automobiles, and, in
deed, with the horse and wagon, had
proven all the manufacturers had said
in regard to reliability and depend
ability of the wagons and cars.
If one managed to keep on top Of
the dump; if they were successful in
keeping out of the ditch on either side
they were proficient drivers. Indeed,
Barney Oldfield had nothing on them.
If one did not lose their religion,
they were surely proving up on the old
saying: "Train up child in the way
he should go and when he is old he
will not depart from IT," or something
about the straight and narrow path,
only in this case the path was moi
straight and it was in all places very
narrow.
Barry Robinson, Of the Brunswick
er, was right when he said it was the
supreme test Of the car and Of the
drivers skill"
These conditions were evident the
latter part of last summer, all fall
during the complete winter and Ell

MRS. JOHN DREW DIES

The friends of Mrs. John Drew
long a resident Of Keytesville, were
greatly surprised to learn that she had
suddenly passed away at Norborne,
Mo-, Sunday, Sept. 8.
The family had recently gone to
that village, Mr.~Drew having pur-
chased a restaurant, and he had hard
ly got started in their new home be-
fore death came.
The body was brought back to Key
tesville, arriving Monday. Funeral
services were held at the former home
and were conducted by the Rev. o. L.
Hunt. Burial in the Keytesville

Brunswick one sister also at Bruins
wick. Apother sister resides at

anyway. Cape Girardeau was shown
as baby carriage ten years ago but
later, in assuming fun growth, this
perambulator had scquired six cyl
inders, about so horse power and
capable of carrying quite load.
Len Saunders of Gentry county,
where bluegrass, finds so congeniaI a
home, had his float almost buried in
alfalfa in showing that with this
crop alone there had been % DEM
onstrations, and you can hardly get
out of sight of farm growing al
falfa in that county at the present
time.
All Floats Had Message
Jefferson county had a very fine
float, it being regulation dairy barn
with all appurtenances except a pile
Of manure at the side. But down
there we must take it for granted
that manure is hauled out each day
and none accumulates.
No prizes were offered for the
floats, but had there been, County
Agent Mote would have run all of
them hard race. Symbolic of the
work, Jasper county has accomplished
In grape growing, the decorations Of
course were grape vines. But the
trimmings were varied enough to
show Jasper's versatility, and the
winnings of other years were not oy-
erlooked in the cock of silver tro-
phies that rode atop the trucks cab.
Even the Pettis didn't get all it de-
served when the decennials location
was selected, Bill Angle was there
with his boat, and as general over
seer that all went well with it, Col
onel Monsees, the first county farm
bureau president in Missouri left his
Limestone Valley farm and the jack
stock grazing thereon to help Bill
give Pettis voice in the proceed
ings. Sam Jordan, first county agent
in Missouri, couldn't be there with
the Colonel to complete the pair Of
first president and agent, but what
was reputed to be a likeness of him
appeared as the result of some paint
er welding a wicked brush. Ex-
Agent Jordan, therefore, rode in the
parade painted on eheesecloth on the
side Of the float, rather precarious
position and one which caused dis
tortions of his face when uneven
spots in the route gave the hayrack
on which the float was mounted, a
twist on the bias from fore to aft.
The women folks put it on the men,
tho, when it came to originality and
neatness. A top for one float was q
huge hat, trimmed and "done upn in
every detail like the usual city of
fering which retails at $50 and costs
so cents to make. This was from
the Lincoln county home makers club.
Stopping at this juncture doesn't
mean that floats not mentioned lacked
/ anything to keep them out of consider
alton. All were good, and what some
lacked in design they more than COM
sated for in the story told of what
Missouri county agents have accom-
plished. This the decennial amply
told. Moreover it showed US all
not only what lusty youngster the
farm bureau has grown to be, but to
what limits it can go in helping farm
folks if farm folks support it in the
future as they have in the past. 1t
showed every reason why support
should be even greater and its own

TN A recent newspaper Interview,
= Charles M. Schwab, one Of the
notable leaders in the steel industry
In which he began as a boy Of seven
teen, forty-one years ago, said, II
would rather lose money month after
month in my plant than make 1t by
any but the highest methods In the
world"
Mr.. Schwab went to work to learn
the business and he learned It thor
-Oughly by mastering every detail as
he proceeded, scorning tired back
and soiled hands.
He credits his rise to loyalty to
his employer and states that success
came from constant application to the
subject In view.
Here in a few simple words, for
those who will take time to read, will
be found the formula for the attain
ment of success.
And here too is embodied the rule
which every person must accept as
his own,-a hard and fast law as that
Of the Modes and Persians, unfalling
In results and bounteous in reward.
Let the Indifferent young man and
woman, inclined to grlimble and shirk
duty, ponder the wonderful meaning of
slightest methods" and loyalty to en-
plOyer."
The five words may be likened to
hinges upon which the great door of
success swings wide open at the un-
relenting push of the hand and brain
that refuse to be denied entrance.

TOO MUCH PROFANITY

TOO often cussing is taken as 8
= matter of course. Men in higf
positions are frequently expert In ths
use Of profane words, and the fnfu
ence Of bad language has a bad effect
on both the old and the young.
Much effort is being made to In
crease the use of better English, ant
along with this propaganda 1t woult
be well to preach considerable against
tnesuse Of bad language. .ss !
Directly clissing. unless the name OF
the Master Is taken In vain, may cause
no great damage. But indirectly it does
much harm. When the little folk hear
their parents swearing, their respect
for their elders is either lessened or
else the youngsters begin using II
themselves as a matter Of course. Not
infrequently we hear little shavers,
hardly able to speak plainly, using
language which would put many men
and women to shame.
Pike county, Kentucky, recently
honored the memory of its Oldest citi-
zen, Jesse B. Osborne. Much was said
in praise of this departed citizen, who
crossed the bar at the age Of ninety
two years, and no louder praise was
heard than of his reputation for never
having permitted profane word TO
pass from his lips.
Judging from this event. one might
assume that profanity is the rule rather
than the exception. If this is the case,
isn't 1t about time to call a halt2 The
old remedy, considered quite effective
for curing profane habits, was to wash
the boys mouth with soap. But, from
our observation, we are inclined to be-
lieve that 1t would be unfair to use
such a remedy to stop youths from

rests with the parents who worry and
