Sunday beer picnics must 20. They are
violations of the law, and the authorities
must looklafter them with as much vigilance
and impartiality as they enforce the law
against Sunday liquor selling by resident
saloon keepers. This is, outside of all other
questions, but a matter oil justice to the
latter class, who pay heavy licenses and give
bond for good behavior and obedience to
law. An Excursion" is run from st. Louis
to, say, Pilot Knob. The train carries five
hundred people, and the baggage cars are
loaded down to the guards with lager beer.
All the way down from the city 10 the des-
tInation of the excursion, beer is carried
| through the train and sold to the excursion
isis. AT the stopping place, where all dis
bark, temporary bars are erected, and the
thirsty crowd is RECALLED all day long with
Gambripus' favorite beverage, to say moth
ing of stronger drink. Some people get
drunk, and, as was the case on the LIST inst,
disturbances follow. To the credit of the
visitors be it said, however, it was home
roughs who made all the trouble on that
occasion. One poor fellow from Iron Noun
tain was set upon by half dozen and beat
Ell to jelly. 1t was disgraceful, and an
insult to all law abiding citizens, and the
particlpators ought to be severely punished.
So far as we have heard, no arrests were
made. Again we say, the Sunday beer
picnic must go, and go at once, nor stand
upon the order of its going. 1t is unlawful
and must he put down. Prohibition has no
stronger ally than the 5. b. p, and-Uer6una
sat.
The following amendment to the school
laws Was made by the legislature of 1SS4-5:
section 1. That no member of any public
school board of any city, town or village in this
state having less than twenty five thousand
inhabitants, shall hold any office or employ
meDt of profit from said board while men,
Der thereof, except the secretary and treas
urer, who may receive reasonable cOmpen-
sation for their services: provided, the COM
pensation of the secretary shall not exceed
one numbered and fifty dollars, and that of
the treasurer shall not exceed fifty dollars
for any one year: and provided further, that
it shall be the duty of each of said boards
and of the boards of directors in other
school districts in this state having graded
schools, to make and publish, annually, on
or before the 10Th day of July in each year,
in some newspaper published in said city,
town, village or school district: and if there
be no newspaper published therein, then by
written statements posted in six public
places in such districts, Il detailed statement
of all receipts of school moneys, when and
from what source derived, and of all eXpen-
and on what account; also the pres
ent Indebtedness of the district, and its ma
ture, and the rate of taxation for all school
purposes for the year, which said statement,
so required to be made and published, shall
be duly attested by the president and secre-
tary of the board. And any board of edu-
cation or board of directors who shall fail, |
refuse or neglect to order such statement
to be made, and any officer of said board |
who shall fail, refuse or neglect to prepare
such statements and publish the same as
required by the foregoing provisions of this |
section, when ordered by such board, shall |
be guilty of Il misdemeanOr, and punisha
BILE by Il fine not to exceed one hundred dol |
lars. ="
We observe that in nearly all the counties
of Southeast Missouri such statements have
been published: the statement for Pilot
Knob School District has been published.
We presume that for the Ironton School |
District will soon follow.
