Senator Kenyon Says Newberry's Seat
Was Purchased.

Senator William s. Kenyon of Iowa,
the leader by the right Of ability Of
tho western group Of Progressive Re-
plblican Senators, in speech sup
plementing the great deiiverances OF
Senators Pomerene (Dem., Ohio,)
and Walsh (Dem., Month"; disclosed a
new factor in the Newberry senatorial
case when he asserted that the social
lobby had been active in behalf Of
Senator Newberry.
This means, of course, that the
Newberry supporters have exhausted
the last efforts to bolster up his case
by what may be called the plea OF the
petticoats. BY invoking the aid OF
the feminine sex in this case, the in
evitable comparison is raised of q
male offender hiding behind wom-
ans skirts. After reviewing the law
bearing upon the case and presenting
some of the major facts, Senator
Kenyon made this summary:
II assert that under the record the
following conclusions can reasonably
safely and legitimately be drawn:
"Thst the committee expended ap-
proximately $263, 900.
sThat the committee violated the
Federal Statute and the statutes ol
Michigan, and that such action enter.
ed into the election through the
primary.

untary committee. 1t was picked By
Mr.. Newberry.
( "That Mr.. Newberry was responsi
BILE for the acts Of the committee, ans
that the agency of Cody and King i
established beyond question, and b,
/ would be responsible in civil actiol
for debts contracted by them in tn

Why the Delay in Building Roads?
IRoNToN, Mo-, Jan. Z, 1922.

IRoNToN, Mo-, Jan. z, l9z2.
Iron County Register am writing
this letter to the Hon. Alexander w.
Graham, State Highway Engineer,
Jefferson City, Mo-, through the
medium o: your valuable paper, and
trust that he will see fit to answer
the citizens of Iron county through
the same medium.
Three years ago the citizens OF this
county voted 5000, 900 bonds for pub
lie highways in this county. The
bonds were issued and sold to William
r. Compton and Company of st. Louis
soon after. We have seen no sign OF
action since. Now we are asking the
State Highway Board why? They
may have good and lawful reasons
why they have not started building,
but the citizens of this county would
like to know. have consulted our
county court on two occasions recent
ly and they informed me that this
matter has passed entirely out of their
hands and is now entirely in the hands
of the State Highway Board. Such
being the case, we now ask Mr.
Graham to give us the reasons why.
lam writing this letter for another
good reason and that is that three OF
four hundred people who reside in
the west end of this county gain their
living by working for the Sligo
Furnace Company. That company
has now gone out of business, and
they have no other means OF support
If they would start building these
highways soon it would give all these
people work and probably keep then
from starving. The Sligo Furnace
Company has railroad running
through Dent, Crawford and intt
Iron comfy. They have now asket
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for permission to abandon the road
which will probably be done within
the year. This will probably leave
things in deplorable condition il
that part of the county. With nj
railroad and no highway, we are nov
asking Mr.. Graham if fsomething can
be done at once, to begin on the high
way and relieve this deplorable situa
ton? We did not vote these bond
to be laying idle for three years AM
more, but to build roads with, so tina
we could get over them. Now, MI
Graham, l am asking you to help u
out as soon as possible, and answe
through the IRON COUNTY REGIsTEB
so that we may know what to depen
on. Yours, truly,
w. II. WEBB.

Of the probate court of sullivan coun'
ty), editor and chief editorial writer
of the Milan Republican.
Poor old "judge," like a drowning
man, he grasps at every floating
straw. Yes, turkeys are selling at 40
cents pound, bnt the "judge" is not
eating any of them; neither are we;
they are roosting too high for us
they taste too much like silver for the
"judge," for us or Tor any poor man
who is now wearing the Harding
badge. But they are all right for the
Hardings, the Hydes, the Hoovers,
the Garys, the Kiels, the Goldsteins,
the Lodges and the Penroses and all
the rich guys.
Harding turkeys" How true and
accurate the "judge" named them,
but he never did (nor never does)
tell his readers the truth about what
caused the turkeys to be 30 high
People in Sullivan County know why
they are high. They know there II
q scarcity, not only in this county
but all over the country, and the
l"rich guys" knowing there was 6
scarcity and believing they (the rich.
would not get any of them to eat
they cracked the price up so high i
made it impossible for us "commo1
folks" to even look at turkey gravy
this year.

tno campaign Was acbuaiiy euo hVheS
of MIR. Newberry."
Denying that the Newberry case is
any test of Republicanism, Senator
Kenyon said:
"It is an insult to the Republican
party to claim that a vote on this
question is a test Of Republicanism.
1t is an Insult to the millions of Re-
publicans throughout the country to
maintain that the majority in this
body must be maintained through COR
rupt elections. The people of the
country have right to inquire as to
the proposition of fixing price on
seats in this body"
Elsewhere he said:
s'There is no use beating about the
bush in this case. The cold fact ts
that this seat in the Senate was pur-
chased, and the price paid was at least
$263, ,00o."
He made it plain how the public
view these enormous expenditures in
campaigns by referring to the pri-
mary campaign of Governor Lowden
and General Wood last year, and in
ferentially contrasted the attitude of
two Lowden delegates with Mr.. New
berry's attitude that he knew nothing
of the campaign when he said:
"We had two precious membesls of
the Missouri delegation who were for
Lowden for President, and who had
$4,000 apiece of Lowden money in
their pockets or in the bank. They
did not seem to see anything unusual
or strange about that. They sat there
with brazen effrontery and bland
countenances; they had violated no
statute. The Republicans did not
dare to nominate General Wood OF
Governor Lowden, because of the
enormous expenditures in their cam
paigns."
Referring to attacks made upon
Henry Ford by Newberry supporters
Senator Kenyon said:
"The President of the United States
evidently did not share in this beliei
of many Republicans that Mr.. Ford
was such dangerous citizen, for he
spent very pleasant few days il
camping with him and others some
months ago. !. y. Secretary Weeks
who has suddenly leaped into fam'
as the destroyer of the agricultural
bloc, did not share this opinion, be
cause he had Mr.. Ford come to se'
him about Muscle Shoals." =
In his concluding sentences Sen a
tor Kenyon declared:
"If the Senate of the United State
is to justify the expenditure of hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars to Sc
cure seat here, the rule of the peo
pie is gone"
Finally he said that whatever th
result in the Senate, the Newberr
case will be heard in the court of tn
great American people.
"They (the people) will know tn
record" he said, seven though man
Senators do not, and there is as littl
question of the judgment there q
there is of the verdict here; but b
assured if Mr.. Newberry is seated tn
Judgment there will reverse the yer
dict here"

Anent Harding Turkeysl

Harding turkeys were selling at
40 cents per pound, cash, last week.
"A good sized gobbler will sell for
more money now than q 200 pound
hog would under the Cleveland ad-
ministration. Chickens, eggs, butter
and cream are all bringing good prices,
and even hogs are bringing cents or
the market"

From MIR. Hilburn.

Dear Brother Ake-By the grace OF
the Mo. P. R. r. am stranded here
for eight hours the last two of which
have yet to run. So I am improving
these last 100 minutes to worry your
many good readers. That is by your
consent.
The day before yesterday was on
a street car in Pine Bluff, Arkansas,
and as the car approached a gang of
track laborers the car was slowed to
allow them to recover tools and give
way for the car. There were but
three passengers, gentleman, lady
and myself. When the car slowed
the little lady said between her teeth
ard hit em!' "I'd hit emil" Ard 7
said in my mind, the spirit of i'm
patience and intolerance is the source
of much trouble.
Yesterday I heard an intelligent
man say ST sometimes wish had Q
car, disguised like Ford or some
light car, that nothing could smash.
Then I'd refuse to give more than
half the road and let the road hogs
smash their cars on me." "They
rush in ahead Of you," he said "drive
you out of the road and then laugh at
you" Disregard for the rights OF
others. Prevalent? It's becoming
universal.
Ladies (2) and children meet you
on the walk and see you not, in SO
much that you must step into the
gutter or collide with them. A walk
eight feet wide will afford you barely
room to pass four ladies in abreast
and then you must turn sideways
Often I feel like stopping and turning
my back to allow them to collide, if
they wish, but up to now have given
all the walk when required, to avoit
collisions. ssAlfonse and Gaston,'

Ripley in Thirteenth District.

(Doniphan Prospect-News.)
The new districting law places Rip
ley County in the Thirteenth Con-
gressional District with these other
counties: Carter, Crawford. Dent,
Iron, Jefferson, Madison, Oregon,
Perry, Reynolds, Shannon, st. Fran
co.'s, Ste. Geneyieve, Washington and
Wayne.
Politically the district will be very
close. Two years ago, of course, the
political tidal wave carried most all OF
these counties into the Republican
column, but the more normal vote Of
1918 shows nine of the 15 counties Of
I the new district Democratic. The
total vote that year for congressman
| in these counties were: Democratic,
1884; Republican, 1857; Socialist
319.
Hon. Arthur T. Brewster of Iron
county, who was in Doniphan last
week attending circuit court, said he
would be Demo cratic candidate fol-
congressman in the new district next
year, and said he could win. He has
twice been the Democratic nominee
for congress in the old thirteenth
which was pretty solidly Republican,

Gas Consumption Shows Enormous An
nual Increase.

Accurate compilations show that
the amount OF of gas sold by the 1000
or more gas companies in the United
States during 1920 was 319, 1897 ,S13, 900
cubic feet, which is three times that
sold ten years ago. The volume OF
gas was used for the following pur-
poses in about this proportion: IL
Elimination, 23per cent; domestic uses
other than illumination, 81 per cent;
Industrial, 25 per cent.
While there was but one use for gas
in 1906, there are today more than
1900 separate uses for it. 1t now
takes more than 10000 miles OF street
mains to deliver gas service to more
than 45, ,OOO,o 900 people in the nation.
Domestic cooking appliances in use
number in excess of 6,500,000. The
industry today represents an invest
ment Of about $4OO, 100000
We are today still in the era OF
preliminary uses of gas. Our great
est possibilities still lie before US.

 This citation is issued under authority of. Sections 1648, 1649 and 1850 of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, 1913, as amended by Sections 1, 3, and 3, Chapter 12 of the Session laws of Alaska, 1919, for the reason that the wid- oW of the said deceased Otto Lubbe. claiming under the last mentioned law, has filed her petition in this court praying that the said estate, up to the value of $4,OO0.0O be set aside and apart to the use and behoof of the widow and the minor child ren of Otto Lubbe, deceased.
 And, further, in said petition the said widow sets forth the fact that all expenses of funeral, expenses of last illness, and of administration have been prov ided for.
 From the files, inventory and appraisement and orders now on file in this court it appears that the said estate at the present time is of a value less than S4, 200. co. At this hearing, should there be no further assets of said estate discovered and brought to the attention of the court, and no good and sufficient reason given why the said estate should not be forewith closed and set apart to the said widow and minor children, an Order and Decree will be entered so setting apart the said estate in it's entirety to the widow, to be by her expended for the main tenance of herself and any minor child of the said deceased, as provided by law.
