ton, former secretary of agriculture. with
plagiarism. Mr.. Morton recently delivered
a poem at the meeting Of Western grange
and called it Tree Planting" The poem
has been extensively copied by the news
papers throughout the country, and the
poetic fire OF the eX-secretary has been
most favorably commented upon.
Now Mr.. Kenyon says that Mr.. Morton's
effort was lifted bodily from the works OF
York, in 1895. where it appears under the
name of What Do We Plant?" Mr. Ken
Won says that the poem as 1t appears In
Mr Abbey'S book is word for word the same
as that which has been published over ex-
Secretary Morton's signature. Mr.. Abbey's
poem follows:
What do We plant when we plant the tree.
We plant the ship which will cross the sea;
We plant the mast to carry the sails:
The keel the keelson, the beam. the knee:
We plant the ship when We plant the tree.

ATTORNEY GENERAL CROW SAYS IT

Ground for Opinion Is That, Under the

CONSTITUTION F0RBIDs 1T

Jefferson City. NO, Feb. 12.-(Speciai)
The state legal department, the office Of
attorney general, to-day rendered a very
important opinion to the state superin-
tendent of public schools, John r. Kirk,
regarding religious instruction in the
public schools of the state. The opinion
was prepared by Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Sam B. Jenries. 1t knocks out all
kinds of religious exercises In the public
schools of the state. According to II, not
even the Lords Prayer may be repeated
nor the Bible read as an opening eXer-
else in the public schools.
The opinion is in the form of letter to
Superintendent Kirk, and is, in part. as
follows:
You state that in a certain public school
the teacher desires to open the school by
recitins the Lords Prayer. and ask the
following questions:
Ffrst-Is there legal authority Ior
such religious exercise?'
'Second-1f there is authority for such
religious exercise within school hours. can
the teacher require pupils of the school
10 give attention to the prayer If they do
not volunteer to do SO; or IL the teacher
has authority TO conduct such religious
exercise may a portion Of the children re-
tain their seats and pursue such studie.

In passing upon the foregoing PROPOSE.

A GOOD ROADS SCHEME.
W. ii. Cundin, of Pleasant Hill, Give
His Views n to Highway

Improvement.
Washington. Feb. 12-(Special) W. H.
Cundif, Of Pleasant Hill, Mo-, In q letter
to Goverpor Stephens, tells how to secure
good roads for Missouri His plan Of taxa
ton Is a follows:
First. The taxation for a system Of
public roads in the state should be equally
divided between the state, counties. town.
ships and road or school districts. As our
road districts are laid out they embrace
three miles square.
II would divide the cost Of all roads built
in accordance with the provisions Of q well
digested and well guarded law for q good
macadamized road In each road district.
the decision being left to each Of these dis
tricts as to whether they desire such a road
under the provisions Of this general law.
Insert In the law a provision that when
ever the voters Of any road district shall
properly called according to the provisions
Of the law that they will build a macad-
amizsd road @ through n the @ center @ I OF f tneif
will permit. both east and west and north
and south, crossing at or near the school
1.-The cost Of building the same shall not
exceed - dollars in said district: The
state shall pay Is per cent Of the first cost:
per cent. and the road district the remain
Ing Is per cent, and the excess. If any. over
the limit given In the provision OF the law
as to cost.
Is per cent shall be divided as follows. to-
wit:
''The lands adjoining said road or roads
In each road district accepting the provi-
sions Of this general law shall be taxed as
follows:
"The first quarter of mile strip shall pay
per cent on each side OF the road; the
second, 8 per cent: the third, per cent;
the fourth. IL per cent: the fifth, I per
cent. and the sixth. Of I per cent. From
this division we have S per cent so e1uit-
and none would have cause to complain.
I'VE would soon have macadamized roads
from almost every farm to every other
place in our state. For those living one and
a quarter miles from the main road would
join in and soon make their private road
to the public roads, and in this manner We
would soon give our Sucker neighbors a
free transmit over the best roads in the
world to the Sunflower state: but If they
were hunting good, rich homes they would
never pass over the western boundary of
our rich and fertile state, a state that can
live within her own bounds. IL her re-
sources were properly developed. These i'm
migrants would soon, by ,ieir added
wealth: pay to our present population more
than the first cost of the roads.
Then the frozen Iowans and Minneso-
tans emigrating to the sunny southlands
OF Arkansas would never pass entirely over
our state. as they would be caught up
either upon the rich prairies Of the north
and middle belt Of the state or upon the
Ozark mountains. where the fine springs
gush out from under the mountains: and

is high time that our girls should
realize that they should speak the
English language in their CONVEX
sation, and not the dialect OF the
race track, or the lingo of the base
ball field. A girl may cause a
smile by the apt of use OF some
slang phrase. But inwardly, those
who applaud her place her, at the
same time, in their estimation. No
girl ever won an ounce of respect
by using slangs. On the contrary,
many a girl. unconscious of the
cause, has found herself gradually
slipping out of peoples respect by
the fact that her talk was dotted
with slang phrases. "Oh, she is
clever" said a woman not long
ago, of girl who could keep a
company constantly amused by
her apt use of slang. "She amuses
me greatly. But I should not care
to invite her to my home nor have
my girls know her." 1t is a poor
popularity for girl, which has as
it's only basis the cap and bellies OF
the Jester. The file of the jester
is never long,"

THE NEW WOMAN.

Just now the woman's rights
fraternity are neglecting their ba-
bies, their husbands and their
homes and vexing the ear of the
Constitutional Convention with
their shricks for the ballot. We
have not time to discuss this per-
nicious foolishness, but we find in
the Hattiesburg (Miss) American
Citizen the following brief but
true and eloquent reference to this
matter:
Some advocate of Woman's suf-
frage and "woman's rights" says:
Ninety years ago woman's
sphere was limited to the home,
the church and q few occupations
outside. Today there is not a le-
gitimate business in the United
States that does not number in
some of its many departments. 1t
is possible that the opponents of
women suffrage are waiting until
woman goes generally into bust
ness of keeping saloons and run
ming gambling houses before con-
sidering her competent to vote in
matters of civil government
Yes, and ninety years ago the
woman was just ninety years away
from the barroom and gambling
houses. Her onward march in the
world, her masculine desires, and
her love for the new ways is the
best way on earth to make her a
fit subject for washing the goblets
of the barrooms and counter OF
poker chips. Ninety years age

sphere was only in the home and
church, and an influence that is
unknown to woman who is taking
part in Legitimate business" etc

the world and in politics and 60.
vernment affairs, just 80 much Of
the genuine woman does she cas-
aside. When the woman goes
marching up to the polls she
leaves her womanly dignity with
the cook and children, and sh.
never calls for it again.-States.

The Plaquemine Locks.
VALUABLE PROPERTY MAY BE Ex-AP-
PRoPRIATED FOR THE LOCKS

United States Senators Nelson,
of Minnesota, Vest, of Missouri,
Gallinger, of New Hampshire, and
Berry of Arkansas, members of
the River and Hsrbors Commit
tee, and q special committee on
the investigation of floods, arrived
here late yesterday evening and
took look at the locks works.
They did not remain very long,
but it is presumed the investiga-
ton they made was sufficiently
careful to give them pretty good
idea of existing conditions, the re-
quirements for future advance
ment of the work, etc.
Their visit was the cause of
much interest and speculation and
considerable talk has resulted from
it. For instance, it was rumored
this morning that the committee
would recommend, in order to
have all the land necessary for the
proper building of the locks, that
all the ground from the mouth of
the bayou on the north side of
Main street to the market house
be appropriated. If this be true,
there will be excitement like unto
that experienced when the first ex-
preparations were made for the
locks.
This time the property is even
more valuable than that taken on
the first occasion. The property
