LEARNING NOT TO BE COMPULSORY.
Governor Dockery Vetoes the Force
School Bill

Jefferson City, Mo-, April 15.-Gov-
ernor Dockery to-day vetoed the
Simmons educational bill. which
sought to compel the education OF
children by requiring their parents
to enforce their attendance. The
governor takes it that the parents
are better qualified to guide the des
tiny of their offspring and so says in
his message OF disapproval
This bill minimizes parental con-
troll and magnifies official authority.
1t takes a long step in the direction
of state control of the family and the

penalties Paternalism is a plant
that should receive no nourishment

A Triumph of Diplomacy and Honor

The Commoner
The St. Louis exposition promises
to be one of the greatest, if not the
greatest, ever held in the United
States 1t will commemorate the
purchase from France OF what is
known in history as the Louisiana
territory That purchase was made
openly and above board and ia titled
without bloodshed. The inha bitants
of the acquired territory were guar
anteed all the rights, privileges and
immunities enjoyed by the inhabit-
ants of the other territories and the
states. There was no cant about
benevolent assimilation, no hyp-
ocritical phrasing about duty and
destiny, no Pecksnitfian pretense
of American valor. Itrequired no
immense armies, no great outlay of
public money. no special stamp
taxes, no recruiting stations, no
mothers tears, to make it binding
upon all the people. 1t was tri-
umph OF American diplomacy and
American honor, not a breaking of
American faith and departure from
American principles. Because of this
every patriotic citizen should ioin
with the patriotic people of St. Louis
in the work OF making the st. Louis
exposition a magnificent success and
worthy OF the great event it cele-
brates.

applicable to the mayor and city
council of Butler in building the new

Missouri Court House Burned.

Montgomery City, Mo-, April ID
Last night at / I o'clock the court
house at Danville, one of the county
seats of Montgomery county, caught
fire and burned. All of the county
records, except one or two books,
were destroyed. Fire proof safes
were provided for only a part of
the records, and they are supposed
to be safe.
For almost a generation a county
seat removal fight has been waged
i'll this county, in attempts to have
all the county Offices located at Mont
gomery City, where part of the Off
ces have been for several years. At
the election held last November the
proposition to move the offices To-
Gated at Danville to Montgomery
City was voted on and apparently
carried by the necessary two thirds
vote But the election was contest
ed, and the supreme court of the
state handed down a decision only
two weeks ago, declaring that the |
proposition to remove did not carry.
The loss of land records. personal |
tax records, etc, will likely cause
untold hardships in perfecting titles. |
The origin of the fire is unknown.

WILL BE NO RAKE OFF.

Every promise made the people 10y
the county court, relative to build
ing the new court house, will be lived
up to to the letter Ii any voter in
the county was in doubt as TO the
kind of building he was voting for,
| he could have satisfied himself, even
to the smallest details, by going TO
the county clerks office where the
plans and specifications were on file.
These were adopted by the court
after a spirited contest between a
half dozen architects. The court or
dered the clerk TO take charge of the
plans and specifications adopted and
not let them out of his hands. or per
NIT them TO be changed or altered
in any respect. This was IA wise pre-
caution on the part of the court and
the people will get exactly what they
voted. County Clerk Broaddus sent
out notices to every township board
last week, inviting them to have rep
resentatives to meet with the court
on Tuesday April 10th, the date adj
vertised to let the contract for build
ing the new court house This was
but fulfilling one of the promises
made the people before the election.
In public works of this magnitude
there are always people ready to pick
flaws and find mares nests Moth
ing is dome exactly right and every
step is attended with evidences of
plans and deep laid schemes to
feather somebody's nests" This is
but a disease and the people thus
afflicted are no more responsible than
those afflicted with any other disease
that flesh is heir to.
The court is composed OF honora-
BILE gentlemen and good business
men. They are placed in trying
position and are determined to hon
estly and conscientiously fulfill every
obligation imposed upon them.
They invite the closest scrutiny of
their acts and the cooperation of
all the people to the> end that the |
county will have the best and most |
court house in the state. |
They will throw around the contract
DIS every safeguard consistent with
safe and good business principles.
Presiding Judge West will be on
hand at all times to see that the
plans and specifications are carried
)ut even to the smallest details. The
,ther two members will meet with
him frequently to advise and confer
md the people can rest assured that
here will be no rake off" in this

cense on beer at the rate of ten cents
per gallon and abide by the new in

Accordingly the state treasury was
$216,OOO to the good on Tuesday
night. The governor also signed the
Hamilton law, taxing whisky 10
cents per gallon. This may lead to
a bitter fight between the state of
