HE IS A DEMOCRAT.

That Gov. Dockery is a Democrat in
the truest sense of the word, every citizen
of Missouri is only too glad to acknowledge.
Democracy simply means the greatest
good to the greatest number, and Dockery
has always been known to favor democracy.
st. Louis is a Republican city, and this
the Governor knows. The Nesbit law was
enacted for the sole purpose of reversing the
will of this city. So long as the law remains
on the statute books it cannot he ignored,
but it is in the province of the Governor to
appoint upon the police and election boards
of this city such men as will act independ-
emily, with a view to giving full protection to
life, limb and property and to insure to each
sovereign the free right of suffrage, an hon
est ballot aud an honest count.
The Governor, so far, has resisted all
pressure from either party. He has simply
listened to all sides and committed himself to
none. His sole aim appears to he to do just
ice to the people. irrespective of party.
lie is at liberty to appoint to minor pos
itions Democrats simply because they claim
to he Democrats, but he knows that his
highest prerogative is to appoint to vital
places men who have a true appreciation of
the principles of democracy.
Gov. Dockery, the Star believes, would
not sacrifice the inherent right of and citizen
Republican or Democrat. lie believes in vox
populi, and would scorn to thwart through
trickery, for the purpose of partisan advan-
tage. the will of the people.
He has the right to appoint upon the
Police Board of st. Louis a member of the
minority party. The people, not only of
this city, but of the state, hope he will do
this. lie is required by law to do this on
the Election Board. Whatever he may do
in either case. it is believed he will rise above
craftsmanship and appoint men who have
higher aims than simply to accomplish parti-
san advantages.-St. Louis Star.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
Mexico

Mexico Ledger.
Mexico, Mo.,-A few of the many OBJ
%jections to compulsory education are unnec-
essary us schools are full.
Damaging to discipline, rs suspension
or dismissal are best methods of discipline.
1t has been sharply rebuked at the polls
in Illinois aud Wisconsin.
Glass legislation, directed at the poor.
No rich man fails to send his children to
school. No truant officer will knock at Il rich
mans door.
1t makes schools penal institutions.
1t will raise n host of enemies against
the public schools.
The state is of the people; the people
do not belong to the state.
Good morals have good homes; this law
breaks into good homes.
Morality by force has always failed.
Enforced benevolence is an absurdity.
No one in the State of Missouri against
whom a Judgment for forty dollars is good,
fails to send children to school.
If the fine is not to be collected the law
is absurd; if collected by Imprisonment, it is
wicked if the support of a family is fined
for poverty, it is barbarous.
Any law against a non-action is bad law.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Those who have children to be educated
will be interested in House Bill No. 375.
The bill seems to be as mild las compulsory
laws can be, but we note that the Catholics
of st. Louis are protesting against it. The
age of children is 8 to IA must attend some
day-school three fourths of the term; those
IA to l6 must attend unless legally employ
ed. Circuit or Probate Courts NAV excuse
those who have any of the following excuses:
l. Have completed the common school
2. Have no proper clothing.
3. Mentally incapacitated.
4. Home two and a half miles from school.
q. Services absolutely necessary to sup
port of family.
z. Are taught at home.
.. Towns of 5000 or more people have
constable to arrest %truants in ali other cases
district clerks act.
8. Cities of 10000 or more population
can establish truant or parental schools.
The State may prescribe studies in both
private and public schools.

IN MEMORY
OF Rev. B0urIsnd d. Smith, Died Aug.
20, 1900.

" spVVs Ha
The message came--"He's gone to rest; /"
Has left his bed of pain;
No weary days and wakeful nights,
No more OF nervous strain
Days, weeks I'M months, he prayed for
rest,
Yet waited patiently
Fol Gods good time to set him free;
IL came 80 peacefully
That while he slept, his spirit scared
To that Celestial home;
And now with loved ones gone before
Waits for the rest to come.
How sweet to think he rests from pain
How happy he must be
How rings his voice in praise divine
He's like n bird that's free
From prison bars-tho' tears will fall
We can but grateful feel
That he's where Christ, his brother rcigns
And glories new reveals.
Could he but send n message down
To friends so dear and true,
Or could the see his spirit bright
Look down through ether blue,
They could not feel more sure that he
Is happy in the change,
Than with the eye OF faith they see
That world with beauties strange.
And then there are such multitudes
To meet, and greet, and love,
And ! am sure some mission each,
Performs In Heaven above
A guardian Angels spreading wings
Protecting those below,
And lighting up the path so bright
Where loved ones have to go,
That no mis-stcp shall cause q fall,
No fear their hearts shall know,
And In the path Of duty feel
Secure from every foe.
And though no more his people hear
His voice to lead them on,
He's drawing them by chains of love
To where he now has gone;
Some word he spakc, some look or smile
Will long remembered be,
And he will meet them on that shore
When from this life they're free.

The ultimatum, which was adopted by
a rising vote, follows:
To those Immediately engaged in the
illicit business, whether wholesale or retail,
we have to say that the long controversy of
the public with you must now come to an
end. You have openly and persistently de-
fed our laws you have made yourself the
agents of even greater criminals outside OF
the State, who have supported you in your
unlawful traffic you have gathered about
you a criminal element that is a perpetual
menace to the safety of the community and
have maintained places that engender and
encourage all vices, you introduced the
most c%orrupting and demoralizng factors and
influnces into our local politics. and for years
you have scorned all appeals and warnings
that have been presented to you by the virtue
loving portion of the community.
CEASE To PERSUADE
AND NOW COMMAND.
Now we feel that the time has come
when we must speak to you peremtorily.
We cease now to endeavor to persuade; we

we hereby notify you that we must have un-
questionable evidence, absolutely satisfac-
tory to the Committee of Public Order which
we to-day constitute, that all your illicit goods
togather with all your fixtures and furnish
ings of the places where such unlawful bust
ness has been carried on, shall have been re-
moved and shipped from the city before IL
O'Clock noon Friday, February 10, 1901.
Upon the strict and literal observance of this
demand we shall insist aud If it shall he

we deem best for its rigid enforcement
If a long-outraged public shall be COM

abettors, grave consequences to evil doors,
which may result from such a return, must
rest with the defiers and nullifiers of our laws
and the obstructers of our governmental
machinery.
The j~ointists, the men who rent property
to j~ointists and the men who have violated
their oaths in tolerating crime-these are
the disturbers of the peace, and now the af-
fronted and wronged public, which, as
sovereign, has both the right and duty to
see that it's will and judgement shall be re-

Topeka JOINTS MUST 90
THE UL TIMATUM OF 1000 MEN
Jonesburg, Mo.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1O.-Three thous-
and male citizens of Topeka, in mass meet
ing here to-day, decided that the numerous
joints of the city must close their places.
They issued an ultimatum, giving the joint
lists until Friday next ut IL O'Clock noon,
to quit business. If this is not done warn
ing was given that a thousand armed men
would move on the joints and remove them
by force.
To-day's action is the result of the cru
SADIE started in Topeka less than ten days
ago by Mrs. Carrie Nation.
The meeting this afternoon was a remark
able one. 1t was by the Law Enforcement
League, and was attended by nearly all the
prominent business men of the city.
The Rev. f. w. Emerson, pastor of
the First Christian Church of topeka, and
who aided Mrs. Nation in her saloon smash
ing here last week, opened the meeting with
prayer. After a few short, snappy address,
es, which worked up the audience to a high
degree of enthusiasm, an ultimatum was
proposed and passed amid the loudest cheer
ing.
REMARKABLE Il
DURING READING OF ULTIMATUM.
When the reader of the ultimatum reach
ed the part pertaining to the ~jointists there
was a hush of expectation, as there had for
several days been rumors that some i'm
portant declarations were to be made.
The words Of contamination and worr-
ing brought forth murmurs of approval that
gained strength with each minute, finally
sweeping over the entire audience and cul-
minating in the widest enthusiasm. As the
reader finished and submitted the ultimatum,
the approval of the audience, old men and
