Is it Class Legislation?

The following article was taken
from the st. Louis Globe. Democrat
dated Sat. Aug. 9th.
"Hattie Jones, colored, for
whom the prison doors refused to
open, though she had been legally
declared not guilty, was freed
yesterday. The girl was arrested
about a year ago on a charge of
larceny. 1t was claimed that she
had stolen a small sum of money

working. She was tried, adjudged
guilty and sentenced to the refo rm
school for girls, at Chilllcoth e,
Nc. The officials there refused to
accept her, as there was no pro-

She was returned to this city and
placed in Jail, where she has been
ever since. Yesterdays year

be held in Jail, expired, and Judge

The most important question that
the voters have to confront in this
campaign will be the selection of
a superintendent of public schools.
Party politics play no part in fill
ing this office the right man in the
right place is what we need. The

The double lynching at Lexing-
ton last Tuesday places another
black spot on Missouri's character.
There is no excuse for a lynching,
no matter how great the crime may
be. If we are to pay lawmakers to
make laws by which those who com.
nit crime will be punished, We
should be willing to let the law
take it's course.
