It is hoped her that the answer may be dispatched by thé end, of this week, but other nations of the entente, although agreed in principle, may require verbal alterations, which would necessitate further delay. It is expected that once this reply has been forwarded the response to. President Wilson’s note will follow very ‘shortly. Russia's reply to the German “peace proposals was telegraphed Monday to the French Government, says a Reuter dispatch from Petrograd. View of German Reply. The London morning papers generally regard Germany’s reply to President \. fison as no reply at all, but a renewed effort to trap the entente Mito a confer ence at an inopportune moment for the latter. The Post, asserting that Germany re- gards President Wilson’s note as an in- strument fashioned to serve her inter- ests, Bays that Germany has seized the occasion: with the desperate eagerness of a drowning man catching at a straw. Rejecting all ideas of a conference, the Post says: “It is perfectly evident that if a discussion were once begun the war could nat possibly be resumed. The long gathering momentum of the allies, once checked, could n>t be recovered.” The Post calls the German proposal for a conference “An impudent affront’’ and adds that ‘‘the afforded occasion for this affront should help President Wil- gon to understand why in all the allied capitals his action is regarded askance, The German answer may well refer to the friendly spirit of the American note, for its effect, however undesigned, is to succor Germany and embarrasses the allies.” : A New Step Desperation. The Daily Telegraph thinks the reply marks a new and significant step in che game of desperation for upon the cen- tral Powets by their well-justified dread of what the immediate future holds for them. , The Daily News say® ‘The failure to meet President Wilson on & common ground Cannot be ascribed to obtusenéss. Germany's affectation of misunder- standing will mislead nobody. The oriz- inal German note and the present reply to President Wilson have the common object of throwing upon the entente the onus Of rejecting ostetisibly genuine ad- vances. The allies must see that they do not promote the success of that transparent maneuver by the adoption of a purely negative and intransigeant attitude. Our right course is not to re- pel advances, but to state our terms when the challenger to negotiations has stated hers.’’: The, Daily Chronicle says: “The point on which most stress is laid in President Wilson’s note is en- tirely ignored in the German repry. * * * For all its studied poiiteness; there is implied therein the rejection in advance of any offer of mediation py America.” Comment by Evening Press. The officiat order issued by Emperor Nicholas, stating that the time has not arrived for peace negotiations, takes the leading .place today in both the news and editorial sections. of the evening newspapers. Some of them suggest the other members of the entente Should follow the lead of Russia and state their terms. The Standard says: “We cordially welcome this frank ex- position of war aims from one consid- erable member of the alliance. It would be no harm and it might do much good ifthe other allies made it clear for oneé and for all that there can now be no question of the restoration ofthe status quo. There has been far too much inclination in this country to treat the mere évacuation of occupied territories as a test of sincerity on Germany's part. * * * We trust the allies in their reply to the peace overtures will em- phasize the point made by the Emperor, and they might go further. They might point out that “Prussia has broken faith time and again, and that there is eyery reason to suspect treacherous designs in her present approaches, and that no peace could be safe for Europe. whith leaves Prussian militarism with the pres- tige of victory, which would be hers should the war be terminated tomorrow. om oe we “It is now quite time that belligerents and neutrals understood the true. sit- mation.

ADDRESS TO HIS TROOPS Peace Acceptable Only When Foe Has Been Expelled and Guarantees Are Given. PETROGRAD, Dec. 28.—‘‘Russia’s at- tainmernt of the three tasks created by the war—regarding Constantinople and the Dardanelles, as well as the creation of a free Poland from ali three of her incomplete tribal districte—has not yet been guaranteed,” says an Order issued % all units of the Russian army by Emperor Nicholas under date of Dec. %. The Emperor shows the inequalities in the technical resources for warfare ns bétween the allies and the central Powers are being gradually removed, with the result that the enemy’s strength is apparently waning while that of Russia and her allies constantly growing and proceeds: “Germany is feeling that her complete defeat is near, and near also is the hour of retribution for all ‘her wrong- doings and violations of the nforal law. As in the time of her strength she de- clared war, 80 now, feeling her weak- ness, she suddenly offers to enter upon peace negotiations, desiring to complete such negotiations before her military tal- ent is exhausted. “At the same time she is crontab 4 4 false impression jabout the strength of her army, by utilizing her temporary success ove? the Rumanians, who lack experience in the conduct of modern warfare." Allies’ Right to Choose Peace Time, Arguing that the allies are entitled to choose a favorable hour for peace nego- tiations, just as Germany chose a fa- vorable hour for declaring war, the or- der says: “This time has not yet arrived. The enemy has not been driven out of the provinces he has occupied. To conclude peace at this moment would mean fall- ure to utilize the fruits of the untold trials of the heroic Hudsiari troops and fleet. These trials,and the still more sacred memory of those.noble sons of Russia who have fallen on the battle- field do not permit of thought of peade until final victory over our enemies. “Who dares to think that he who brought about war shall have it in his power to conclude the war at any time he likes?” In conclusion, the Emperor, express- ing confidence that no Russian soldier would desire peace until the enemy had been expelled “from Russian soil and had given guarantees to prevent a pos: sible repetition of a treacherous attack, says: —~ , “Let us be firm in the certainty of our victory, and the All-Highest will bless our standards and will cover them afresh with glory and give us peace worthy of your heroic deeds, my giori- ous troops—a peace for which future generations will bless your memory, which will be sacred to them.,’’ New Light on ent’s Note) Switzerland's indorsement of President Wilson’s initiative in sdliciting the for- mulation of peace terths by the warring Powers, and the news that other neu- trails will follow suit, has decidedly strengthened the impression made here by the American proposal and corrected whatever tendency there existed in cer- tain quarters to regard the President's note as inspired by other motives than those set forth. In well informed quarters it is said there is no reason to bélieve that the added influence of other neutrals will in any way change the point of view expressed by the.Foreign Office or alter the national conviction that the present time is inappropriate for the consider- ation of peace terms. But the tone of the press comment has become cofisid- erably more inclined to view the possi- bility of intervention on its own merits. The Novoe Vremya, which bitterly re- proached President Wilson in its earlier comment for what it terméd ill-timed interference,’ now says that however President Wilson’s* efforts mhy be fe- ceived, there can be no possible. inter- pretations of the note as unfriendly to the entefite allies, or having been sent with other than the bést of inténtions.

The Bourse Gasetté, Which expresses the belief that the suggestion of Presi- Gent Wilson was notja Cagugl act of the American Government, but the re- suit of organized efforts of the neutral Powers, which are already equivalent to a neutral league with a united aim, Says: “The picturé is now quite changed.)

A detective posing as a minister has obtained confessions which®the Ed- wardsville (lll.) authorities believe will clear up the wrecking of a fast Spring- field- to-St. Louis car of e McKinléy System near Edwardsvillé, the night of Oct. 2, last, in which one man was killed-and many others were injured. In a detailed statement, signed hefore witnesses at Edwardsville, last night, Curtis Force, formerly a section hand or the McKinley line, named another man. as the wrecker of the train. The detective who obtained the confes- sion is Alexander St. John, employed by a private detective agency. He ar- rived last Saturday to take up the if- vestigation. He prides himself on be- ing a red-headed Irishman, but he dressed in the regulation garb of a Higt Church Epiécopal minister and visited the jail, where he told prisoners he was representing the Church Extension Board. Interest in Woman Prisoner. Among the prisoners were Mrs. Lilly Weisenberg. a sister of Force, and Charlies Craig, who were charged with unlawfully living together at;the home of Force. The detective showed great interest in the woman and offered to help her dispose of the case by per- forming a marriage ceremony for her and Craig. rs Subsequently the wor n’s brother, Force, was placed in jail and the ‘‘min- ister’’’ tried to get the Woman's sym- pathy and confidence by using his “‘in- fluence’ to have’ Force released, over the “rémonstrances’ of jail attaches, who, of course, were aware of the de- tective’s identity. The detective, still posing as a minister, showed great so- licftude for the spi-itual welfare of the woman and a little later, he says, she told him all she knew of the wreck. St. John then discarded his ministerial dress and last night went to the home of Force and told him his sister had eonfessed. He then induced Foree to make a statement, which covers 15 type- written pages. If Force had volunteered this informa- tion and it had -resulted in a conviction, he would have received $1000 reward offered by the railway company, but; under the circumstances, no. reward would be paid. hoi Proposal to “Have Fun.” In this statement Force recited in de- tail that another man proposed the day before the wreck that they “have some fun’’ by wrecking a train. He said he de- clined, and the next night the other man again ‘made the proposal. He said he then went with the man, who carried a crow-foot bar, and stood by as a spec- tator only, while the man pulled the spikes from about 100 feet of rail... They later heard one train, a freight, pass safely over the track, he said, but later they heard the wreck of the fast pas- senger train and saw the fire. They did not go near the.wreck until the next day. The wreck occurred at the bottom of a grade. The passenger car was hurled over the embankment into a ravine % 4 Ra Pes ; Me aie aes Le BENE os “plgaete ee Way V ae a ie Pe rf a ihokiow 3 bat ple 8 >! ‘a5 m + r+ : 7 y s ‘ q >» ° ~ ou r ' A i ; at . & i ay} 4 : - y - yi 3 a 7 me) - Pe : ia De a“ % Ps ARG . -* . Universal Service Measure Would Have 500,000 in Training, 2,500,000 Reserves. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2%.—Argentina's military system is serving as a model’ for the universal service bill being draft- ed by a committee of the army general staff. The measure, it is said, will be designed to keep 500,000 men under train- ing, with 2,500,000 trained reservists sub- ject to call. The main feature of the bill will be its provision for one year of intensive military instruction for all. youths sub- ject to its terms. It is expected that exemptions due to physical disqualifi- cations and for other reasons, includ- ing possibly~ the conscription of certain men for work in industrial plants nec- essary in war times, would leave, avall- able for army training between ‘450,000 and 500,000 of the 1,000,000 boys who reach the age of 18 each year. In a broad way the outline of the general staff continental army plan of last year would be followed in distrib- uting tactical units of the reserve, into 19 infantry and six cavalry divisions. Reservists would be liable for two years’ service in this force before iat abe into the usforganised reserve, USES PHONE, TAKES OVERCOAT Man Walks Away Awey Wien Garment Ffom Salesroom, A man walked into thé salesroom of the Wilson Motor Car Co., Channing and Lindell avenues, yesterday, and asked permission to use the telephone.

When Should Policeman Shoot? ‘Speaking in detail of the two cases, Chief Young said: “In the,instance of the Merkle shoot- ing, the question arises, when should a policeman use his revolver to apprehend a fleeing man? ‘The police manual says a policeman must do everything possible to catch a criminal fi¢eing after the commission of. a felony. “In this case no flony had been committed, so far as the policeman } knew, and yet, if all the facts aré taken into consideration, the policeman's -rea- son for firing can be seen.

OP en es WOMAN BURHED 10 DEATH) _- , Mayor Mollman Abandons Hope; Sunday Lid Expected to Close Many Saloons. Mayor Mollman of Hast St. Louis to- day told a Post-Dispatch reporter he had abandoned all hope of increasing the saloon license fee before issuance of the new licenses on Jan: 1. This, he said, means that the old rate of $500 a year for each license will remain in effect, despite the fact that the threatened enforcement of the Sunday closing law is expected to cause a reduction in the number of saloons. “The Council will not have another meeting before the first of the year,”’ said the Mayor. “It has not seen fit to accept my suggestion that the licefise fee be doubled, or at least increased to $750 a year. I can do nothing more along that line. It is up to the Council. Te Enforce Sunday Lid. “One thing is certain. I will see that the Sunday closing law is rigidly en- forced, and I will not issue a saloon license to any person who is not a cit- izen of the United States. The brewers have been to seé me about this, and have asked if I meant what I said. I told them I did, though I realized that in some cases it would cause hardship. Some of the alien saloon keepers have money invested in their saloon property or have depended on their business for a living. ‘What the breweries will do about this I don’t know. Some licenses now held by aliens may be placed in other hands and some.saloons may, be closed. The number that will go out of business has been variously estimated from 75 to 125. I think it will be closer to the smaller number. “Situation Won’t Be So. Bad.” ‘It is up to the Council-fo offset the loss in revenue due to the closing of the saloons. The closing of 75 saloons would increase our anmual deficit from $75,000 to $160,000. The situation will not be so bad. We have always had a short- age, but have been able to take. care of it by economizing. Now we must be more economical than ever. “It is possible that the general taxes next year will increase sufficiently to make up the loss caused through the closing of saloons.”’ W, P, LEWIS NAMED STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER Gov. Major Appoints Clerk in State Department as Successor to (John T, Fitepatrick. JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 2.—Gov. Major today announced the appointment of William P. Lewis as State Labor Commissioner. Lewis succeeds John T. Fitzpatrick, who has been commissioner, de facto, since the expiration of his term June M, 1915. A strong fight wav made against Fitzpatrick’s reappoint- ment by labor leaders, but Gov. Major refused to appoint a successor or to oust Fitzpatrick. Gov. Major told news- paper men today that Lewis was not a candidate for the office. Lewis formerly was a member of the Legislature from St... Francois, County and served as assistant secretary of the Senate in the session of 190. He has been employed as land record clerk in the State Department the last four years, but had bought a weekly news- paper in Scott County._and was pre- paring to leave the capital with the out- going administration. He is 37 years old and unmarried. SEARCHERS ABANDON HUNT FOR MISSING STEAMER MARYLAND She Had More Than 30 in Crew and ‘Sent Out Distress Signals " Christmas Night. — 2 NANTUCKET, Mass, Dec. 2%,—The steamship Maryland is regarded as prob- ably lost today. Search for the vessel and her crew by the coast guard cut- }térs Acushnet and Gresham, which was begun after the Maryland’s wireless calis of distress, were suddenly silenced Christmas night, was abandoned without having developed any trace of either. Flotsam found by the cutters could not be identified as being from the Mary- land. Hope for the safety of the steam- er’s 3-odd men lies in the possibility that they were picked up from the ship’s boats by a passing vessel. WAR CARGO SPACE INCREASED British Ships Must Give 85 Per Cent of Capacity to Government. NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Lieut. Connor Guthrie, represénting the British Ad- miralty heré, summoned freight man- agers of the British steamship ‘com- panies to a conference today and told them that beginning Jan. 1 the British Government would require % per cent of the cargo space on their ships. For- ty-seven and nine-tenths per cent is to be reserved for war munitions and the remaining 371-10 per cent for wheat. On Dec. 15 Lieut. Guthrie told the freight managers that the Government would require 70 per cent of the space. ry distinctive ont in brooehen tng solid rt ave your yectjons at “clearance aay sixth st; SON OF HARRIMAN TO WED E.

Edwards, Mayor of Kan- ses City, J. A. Marefeld, city counselor of Kansas City, and Charles L. Faust, city counselor of St. Joseph, arrived in St. Louis, this morning, to attend a con- ference of city officials, this afternoon, to discuss plans for legislation which sliall. give the city greater authority over ita public utilities. The ‘conference came about thisbusli a sipotsitheen passed by the Board of Al- dermén, at the instance of President Aloe. It was intended as a local af- fair, but the Mayor of ,Kansas .City asked the privilege of attending, as public utility: problem in that.city is much the same, and St. Joseph was then invited to send a representative. Whe visitors called at Mayor Kiel's of- fice this morning, and Mayor Edwards said to a Post-Dispatch reporter that he would favor asking the smaller cities of the State to join in asking the Legia- lature to pass laws which would leave the cities more free to deal with their own problems. He said he would favor & Movement for polite home rule, as well as for the control of utilities by the city.’ Mayor Edwards’ Views. “Kansas City,” he said, “wishes to wet out of the cortrol of the State Public Service Commission. That commission reversed the city’s plan for the Missouri Pacific grade cross- ing at Fiftieth street, and required the street; Ynstead of the ratiroad thacks, to be depressed. This was a clear invasion of the city’s proper au- thority. "Kansas City also wishes to control | the expenditures of its police depart- ment. At present, the law requires its lawmaking body to make whatever ap- propriations the police department de- clares to be needed.’’ The St. Joseph City Counselor said the officials of that city were in sympathy with the demand for home rule in con- trol of utilities and th, oligos matters, ' Wants More" Power. Edwards alec said that Kansas City wished t6 have the power which St. Louis is held to have under the new charter, to issue bonds for the pur- Chase of public utilities, without hav- jing such bond issues counted against its constitutional limit of indebtedness. ; It was believed that a preliminars hetianisa tion would be formed at the aft- crnoon meeting. The St. Louis repre- sentatives in the conferencé are Mayor Kiel, President Aloe, City Counselor Daues and members of the Board of Public Service and of the Public Serv- ice Committee of the Board of Alder- men.

FARMER’ TITLE Governor-Elect of Illinois Thinks He Has Practical Knowledge of ‘Agriculture. | IS VAST LAND OWNER Illinais Holdings Valued at. $2,- 000,000; Has Ranches in Texas and Arkansas. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. Crren Lowden, tarmeh_ school teacher, lawyer and legislator, has one pet aver- sion, namely to be called a “gentleman farmer.’ It is a misconception he has often felt called upon to explain, but ; fears that, owing to his wealth, (he will be the richest Governor Illinois ever had), he willby many always »ve’ considered a farmer of the recking chair variety.. The title of “Colonel” came to him in 1898 through his connection with the First Dlinois Infantry, as Lieuten- ant-Colonel, but hé values the unquali- fied right to be called farmer more than he does.the -military honor. ‘The Governor-elect was born on a farm near Sunfise City, Minn, Jan. 26,- 1861. His father, Lorenzo Orren Low- den, moved with his family in a prairie schooner sevén years later to a tew farm in Iowa. Here young Lowden worked until he was % years old, studying books as best he could. At 36. he began teaching school. his way through Iowa State University and was graduated at the head of his dlass. He taught school at Burlington, To., ahd studied law at odd moments. In 188 he came to Chicago and was employed as a. clerk in a law office at $3 a week. ‘ Married Rich Girl, A year later, again at the head of. his class, he was graduated from the Union College of Law. He built up a thriving practice and in 1896 married Florence Pullman; one of the heirs to the vast estate of the late sleeping car manufacturer. In this year he entered politics as a champion of William’ Mc- Kinley. for President. , In 1903 he became a candidate for the Republican gomination for Governor. The delegates to that memorable con- vention -balloted for 21 days, and Col.. Lowden. was defeated by Charlies 5. Deneen. In 1906 he was sent to Con: grees from. the Thirteenth District and served two terms after which he .volun-° tarily retired to devote his time to his 6000-acre farm, Sinnissippi, in’ Ogle Coynty. He brought a practical dishes of agriculture to this estaté, and added to it through the study of books. His li- Dyary on the subject is said to be one the most extensive private collections ‘in the country. Sinnissippi is said to be possibly the finest farm in the country, | its paved roadways and sanitary buildings, and is said to be worth be- ‘In addi- tion Col. Lowden: owns a 10,000-acre cat- tle ranch in Texasiand a big cotton plantation tn Arkansas. According to. his friends the latter paid a ‘profit of: $40,000 last year.. He has worked. for, ‘the reforesting of the Illinois corn belt ‘and has planted 500,000 pine ‘trees’ on Sinnissippi farm. On the farm Mrs, Lowden maintains a home for crippled | children. The farm also has been made | athaven for birds, which. creatures are legally protected there.” ¢ ; Considers Himself Practical Farmer. In view of all these things, Col, Low- den considers himself a farmer of the ‘most practical type. In the last cam- paign a spectator heckled him with the charge that probably he ~ didn’t — how to milk a cow. *‘ “I. didn’t know that milking a cow Was one of the necessary qualifications 23,.—F rank ‘|.

The change affecting Congressmen is to be com- mended for some reasons. But most.of those rea- sons are likely to appeal more to Congressmen themselves than to the people.

However, the people are making no complaint, an‘ it is recalled that much excellent legislation is eee ee Oe ee élection. If Representatives are inclined to contrast their jot with the happy one of Senators who have to face the people only once in six years, they may remember that their own greater responsiveness as compared with Senators in tle past has been popularly attributed to this very circumstance. ‘The fatal objection to the four-year térm for Representatives, however, would be found in the new relation created by the extension of the President's term to six years.

An unsatisfactory existing feature is that the first regular session of’a Congress dots not begin until more than a year after its election. The Rucker plan would force a President to wait two years and three months for a Congress in full sympathy with his*views. A soutider amendment is one proposed by Sen. ator Shaffroth. It extends the. President’s term ito six years with ineligibility to re-election, fixes the first Tuesday in January as the date for the beginning of 4 new Congress, the third Tuesday in January as the date for the inauguration, and abolishes the substance. of the Electoral College While preserving it as a fictl6n. The vote of the states for President would be counted as at pres- ent without the intermediary of electors to cast the vote. A six-year term for Presidents and ineligibility t er would strike the final blow at the Fed- eral ile‘ system. On the other hand, the peo- ple tight be deprived of the right to re-elect a good President,. :Are we afraid of free democracy and of our Presidents? 4 ——_—__-__++4 ‘STREET SIGNS AT NIGHT. A scientific overhauling of the signs giving the names of streets, on the corner lamp posts, would greatly increase the usefulness of these signs. | After dark, the un{lluminated street signs are often invisible, and the visitor or resident who takes a trip through a quarter of the city with which he is unfamiliar, must rely on the illuminat- ed signs. At:many street corners, especially on the cross-town streets, signs are missing, on one or both cornérs, and those that remain are often so placed as to be unreadable uwhtil after the street car has goré-too far*ffom crossing. Onhé sees passengers craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the cross-street sign, which vanishes before it has been déciphered. s In order to be of fullest use, a system of street signs snculd be frequently inspected and defects corrected. , —_———_——¢¢-¢-——_- —___ St. Louis landed the bank. ‘YES, VIRGINIA" SEEPTIOS. Is the “Yes, Virginia” editorial of the New York Sun losing its potency? In one Phila- delphia scliool, a song was permitted to be sung which not only cast a grave doubt on the exist- ence of Santa Claus—about whieh Virginia was assured that no doubt could possibly be enter- tained—but specifically admitted that personal belief in him had come to be invested with some difficulty. To be sure, there were “Yes, Virginia” partisans numerous enough and with strength of convic- tion enough to start a row over the singing of the apochryphal ballad, but the very fact that it was sung under school auspices shows that skepticism is making headway. It must be something like 20 years now that the editorial has been dispelling disbelief, distrust, incredulity and the more ma- ture phases of agnosticism. If its inspired and convincing rarioes as to Santa have begun to yield to the show-me spirit of the age, what more powerful prop to faith and confidence can be sub- stituted? ‘ Virginia, if she has survived, is a big girl now, perhaps | little Virginias of her own.’ Is she, too, med anti faithless? If it is only to be read by mocking eyes, perhaps it will be just as well to stop printing the ancient editorial at holi- day time, Perhaps the suspicion aroused is due to the fact that it has been reprinted too often Ts) It sort of puts Santa on the defensive, 2 a eee Spelling bees aré @ feature of the Miinois win- ter.

St. Louis is- the only city which will be the location of a Federal Farm Loan Bank as well as a Federal Reserve Bank, although the selection of St. Paul by the board places a farm bank within a few miles of the reserve bank at Minneapolis. ‘The actiédn with reference to St. Loufs is espe- cially, fortunate. It places one of these valued institutions in a center in which the need for an}. intelligent system of rural credits is keenly ap- preciated and'in which energetic effort has been made for supplying that need independent of Fed- eral auspices. Governor-elect Gardner’s plan for a State rural credit system. was prompted by an intimrate knowledge\ of the credit handicap of Missouri farmers and a study of approved Ways of overcoming the handicap. The Sixth, or St. Louis district, is laid out by the board to consist of Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas. Excepting Northern Illinois, this is all territory in which the absente of any provision for furnishing farmers with cheap loans has been acutely felt. Statistics have shown the high av- erage rate charged in Southern lllinois for credit accorded on farm assets afd Missouri and Arkan- gas have been pecullarly subject to exploitation by money lenders in the past. . No other center is so located as is St. Louis to serve the conven- fence of farmers in this 179,915 square miles of territory, whose agricultural interests are ex- ceeded by those of no area of like extent in the world. . So far as this district is concerned, the farm loan plan, as yet in an experimental stage, will be inaugurated undér circumstances unusually favorable to success. The authorized capital is $750,000, any part of which, not subscribed by pri- vate persons after 30 days, will be taken by the Government. Subscriptions for the entire $750,- 000 shouldbe in sight long before the 30-day period has expired. As we understand the néw terminology of the weather bureau it's “glaze” when you slide on it and “sleet” when it hits you in the face. TY PIRST DEEDS OF TRUST. The bill requiring deeds of trust as well as the notes on which they are based to show the “‘dis- charge” when the obligation they represent is liquidated, will probably have an easy passage in the Legislature. The need for some legislation lessening the facility with which fraudulent trans- actions are consummated is showh by the long series of deed of trust swindles in this city, a series extended by the operations of a late sui- cide. The best official safeguard against this form of scoundrelism would be adoption of the Tor- rens system of land-transfers and title records. It simplifies transfers, reduces their cost, provides new factors of safety and gives a State or county guarantee of-title validity. But of course no system would furnish a safe- guard for victims who meet swindlers more than half way in the perpetration of fraud.: In prac- tically every case of toss through worthless deeds of trust in this city, the victims would have saved-their property by the slightest, most. ordi- nary attention to their own interests. The safe- ty-first rule is to require officjal certification of title and satisfactory data on the value of the real estate coveted before the money is surren- dered. i Neglect to, Supply explicit information on these points before the passing of funds should subject agents to suspicion. indigestible The Czar, or whoever writes his epeeches for |, him, said in one sentence what Lloyd-George and the British editors have used columns in trying to say, when he asked,his soldiers whether “he who brought on - the war when he chose shall haye power to conclude {Pywhen be likes.” OANISM IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Complete official returns from the recent elec- tion, as published Wednesday, reveal a disturb- ing state of affairs in South Carolina. They make one suspicious as to what is happening down there to a great and hardy political party. The records revéal that in the late affair be- tween. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hughes only 1609 South Carolinians voted fot the Republican can- didate. That is to say, in thé whole State there wete fewer Republicans than there are in the Ninth Ward in St. Louis. Each of 32 Missouri counties in 1912 cast more votes for Mr. Taft than all of South Carolina cast for Mr. Hughes. Re- publicanism in South Carolina this year was just two votes stronger than it was in New Madrid County, Mo., four years ago. Compared to South Carolina, Louisiana with £644-Républican Votes, Mississippi with 4253, Georgia with 11,225 and Florida with 14611 are hotbeds of rampant Re- publicanism. ° What have. you been doing to our good breth- |3om pe the i ott of « can of sardines you ma| De tace to face with a sardine packed by the men- tally perfect Thomas J.
