opinion that the new law requiring the
United States flag to be placed on public
buildings and schoolhouses did not apply to
so-called parochial schools or TO Sunday
schools under the charge of religious de-

impaired. While declining to discuss the
ccnstitutionality of the act he declared
the Senate bill to be a vicious one.

Want Q Convention.

Sedalia Democrat: The Democrat
has heretofore published reports from
the chairmen of the democratic COM
mittees in eighty-nine counties on the
subject of silver coinage and u state
convention, and today presents state
ments from nine more, making ninety
eight IN all.
The questions asked were:
/. Do you believe that . majority of
the democrats of your county favor the
free coinage of both gold and silver 1t
the ratio Of l6 to ~
2. Are you In favor Of the state COM
mIttee calling q state convention, to be
held this year, for the purpose of ex-
pressing the sentiment of the party
unequivocally IN the coinage question
8. Has your county committee taken
any action in the matterp
Of the nineiy-eight counties reported
ninety-four are for the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
Sixty-three Of these ninety-four
counties ask for q state convention to
define the future policy of the party on
that question, while but twenty-nine
are opposed to q convention.
Is not this an expression that ought
to convince the state committeep And
again the Democrat would urge the
members OF the committee to weigh
well the probable consequences that
will follow q persistent refusal to obey
what they must coucede to DO the
wishes of Q vast majority of the party
in the state.

A COUNTY CONVENTION.


The INTELLIGENCER, some weeks
a 70, called the county committees
attention to the fact that 1t would not
be inopportune at this time to call the
democrats of the county together in a
convention to discuss the propriety OF
holding a democratic state convention.
The INTELLIGENCER still Is in favor OF
permitting the democrats of this county
to decide this in a convention.
The question of holding q state con-
v~ention in an off year Is q new one, n
one that must be calmly considered.
In a state convention Lafayette county
will have as much at stake as any
county in the state, and 1t is but right
and proper that her position on all
important issues be plainly and une-
~quivocally understood. The committee
will commit no error in calling a
county convention. The democrats Of
this county should be heard from, and
their committee should either speak for
them or else allow the party to'speak
for itself.
There are objections that could be
urged against the committee taking
this responsibility, but there q be
none raised to the committee issuing .
call upon the party to speak Its own
sentiments. There is Q large element
in this county who want . convention.
The INTELLIGENcER believes that an
overwhelming majority want the county
and state convention, but this paper
does not know this to be q fact. It
has not polled the vote, and cannot
speak inteliigently. The county COM
mittee does not know just how the
democrats stand; but they have a way
Of finding out-a fair and 81 equitable
way-and that Is through . conven-
ton, regularly called, in which the
issue can be discussed on its merits,
and decided by = majority vote.
II the committee will take this
course it will commend itself especially
to the people Of this county As DESTROYS
of doing the fair thing. The INTELLI-
aENcER wants q regular convention
no side-show, gotten up by the MEM
bers Of one faction. 1t believes that
the committee will be acting in the
best interests of the party il it should
call q convention. It believes that
irregularity will be prevented, and the
final decision meet with the common
dation of the democratic voters.
