WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. (Special
Correspondence.) The legislative,
record of the Republican party for
1921 Is a legislative tragedy. It Is n
story of huge appropriations and ex
travagant expenditures; of promises
unfulfilled or wilfully broken; of legis
lation delayed or so badly conMructed
that It satisfies nobody.! of agricultur
al Interests deceived and business in
terests betrayed; of apartly frustrat
ed attempt to serve onls" special privi
lege; of a leadtrless majority groping
in the dark and displaying at ciry
uncertain step Its lack, of understand
ing of tho problems .confronting -It
and Its Inability to solve thrm.
Tho administrative record of the
Republican party for 1921, except for
the rnlllnc? nf the disarmament enn-
fercnec, upon the unfml.-hed work of j
which It would be premature and un
fair to pass Judgment, iand where the
party has followed Irvitlie footsteps of
the previous Democratic administra
tion In foreign affalrs,,has been an
administrative failure, marked by had
appointments .In Its .foreign service,
re-thronement of special privilege,
nullification of the principle of the
civil service law and a general re
crudescence of rcactloirylsm.
The end of 1921 finds tho liberal
and progressive elenicnt ot the1 party
In revolt agalny the reactionary spirit
and policy which dominates both tho
legislative and administrative branch

ASKED PRESIDENTS HELP

in tlio Packing Rooms
Strike.
When the rltv council met Tuesday
night the follow in; resolution was
passed, and was at once wired to
President Harding. It Is in line with
resolutions wlrd from other cities
The resolution Is as follows:
Whereas, There has appeared be
fore tho council a largo delegation of
our ritlzens Interested In the controv
ersy between the local packing Indus
trie's nnd their employes with refer
ence to a decrease of wages of tho
employes. n"d
Whereas, It Is likely that this con
troversy may fesch serious proportions
If continued, that not only affect tho
welfare of the lmmedlato employes
and their families, but may extend to
the oafety of the public In general In
their vocations, and.
Whereas, We belleie that these con
troversies can best bo settled by arbi
tration as herotfforo practiced by the
federal government, where nil neces
sary power Is Vested to meet equltablo
ends, now, therefore.
Be It resolved, by the common coun
cil of tho city of St. Joseph, as fol
lows: That we hereby recommend that
he federal government take some ac
tion to Intervene In these controver
sies and through arbitration properly
decide thcmerlts of tho controversy.
And bo It further resolved, That a
copr of this resolution be wired to the
president of the United States.

CONTROL OF MISSOURI
SUPREME COURT
IT WILL BE DETERMINED AT THE
ELECTION WHICH TAKES
PLACE THIS TALL
DEMOCRATS ONLY NEED
TO WIN ONE PLACE
While If the fiops Who Are Now In
Control Want to Mnlntiilii Their
1'rcxcnt Supremacy It Will Iw
Ncccwary for Them to Win Three
Place Wlilch I'nder the Conditions
Tliat Now and Which Will Prevail
nt Election Tlnio Will be Imixisslblc.
When tho state election rolls around
this fall one of the places In which St.
Jomeph will be vitally Interested will
bo the supreme court of tho state,
for this city 111 be almost certain
to hae a democratic candidate for
one of tho threo places that Hill be
filled, and at which tlmo the political
complexion of ho supreme body will
be determined, The latter feature
promises to be most Interesting as tho
gops will make a desperate effort to
maintain their present domination of
the court and tt do so they must elect
all three of their candidates while the
democrats must elect but one out of
the thrt'P plaros wlilch they are un
der existing conditions bound to do,
and return the court to Its proper
stnndlng democratic.
Under the present situation In the
supreme body, the terms of Judges
Robert F. Walker, democrat, of St.
Louis; Eduaid Hlgbee, repubVlcan, of
Klrksville, and Conway Elder, gop, of
St. Louis, will expire this vear and
their places will bo filled.
Short Term Men
Elder and Hi3beo were elected last
year for short terms, places created
by the death of Judge BonJ and the
resignation ot Judge Farti to take a
place on tho federal bench. 'Hlgbee
amf'Waiker probably will "be candi
dates for ro'-ele'etlon. Elder fs ah as
pirant for the new federal Judgeship
in St. Louis, but failing to land, prob
ably will be a candidate for the su
preme court. The term of a supreme
court judge Is ten years. The pay Is
$7,500 ft year.
State wide attention was attracted
to the supremo court by the recent
decision of the majority members In
validating the Republican senatorial
redisricting act. Judges Hlgbee, El
der and Blair. Republican, members,
wrote dissenting opinions attacking
the decision as political. Probably
never beforo had the supreme court
been excoriated so severely by mem
bers of tho court Itself.
Dcmoej-nts Havo Good Tlmlier
There are quite a number of demo
cratic prospecthe candidates outside
of tho St. Joseph man, who Is not yet
ready to announce his candidacy.
Judge Walker, the present Incumbent,
will no dnubtv be n ndldate to suc
ceed hlmEelf, and Judfco W T. Rag
land of Paris, who went down with
other Democrats to defoat last j ear.
will. It Is tho understanding, ask for
tho nomination for Judge of Division
No. 1 to the position now hc!d..by
Judgo Elder. Turner A.- White of
Springfield, a commissioner ef . the
court at tho present time, and Circuit
Judgo H. B. Sho In of gedalli ore
classed as Democratic candidates for
DHvslon No. 2.
Much Is being said about Judge
John I. Williamson of Kansas City,
who went down with tho Democratic
ticket to defeat two years ngo, but it
is not certain whother ho will care to
make a second try for a seat on te
supremo court bench, . f .
Not a few of the De.mocrats regf d
him' as being likely to prove danger
ous to other candidates seeking tho
high honor of a seat on the supreme
court, and likely 1 prove a winner
for the nomination. If he really cares
to get In the running.
About 2,000 people attended the
