High School Defeated.
ciation

The Lexington High school, repre-
sented by MesSrs Henry Chiles,
Maurice Hicklin and Hubert Bates,
were defeated in debate with the
Independence (Mo) High school at
Independence Friday night, April "a
The question was, Resolved, that
Napoleon was promoter of Consti-
tuJional Liberty. The Lexington
High school had the negative. The
opposing school was represented by
Messrs Bunchu, BOSTON and Bell. The
judges were: Mr., W., H Johnson, of
Independence; Judge j P. Chinn, of
Lexington, and Mr.. ]. n Barnard, of
Kansas City. Daniel Ruebel was
time keeper.
BY the terms of the debate each
side was to have forty-fve minutes
but no mention was made as TO the
distribution of the time. An unfor-
tunate contention arose over the fact
that the first two Lexington repre-
seutatlves consumed only ten min
utes each and the third wished to
have the benefit of their unused time.

Shameless and Unfair Criticism.

Every man is Innocent until he is
proven guilty, even though the
offense against him is soliciting or
accepting bribe. 1t is true that
this rule does not obtain in Missouri
just now. The mob spirit is in the
air 1t is reflected by the newspapers.
1t abounds in conversation. Speaker
Whitecotton, who deserves credit for
his pioneer attack upon legislative
corruption, spoke OF "hemp." The
only safe rule, the only fair, just and
proper standard of criticism to apply
to the accused is that every man is
innocent until he is proven guilty.
With all the charges of Doodle in St.
Louis and state politics, many Of
which are doubtless we'll sustained by
the facts, it is difficult to get our
own consent to adhere to the old
established rule We are too much
inclined, with the mob spirit moving
US, to hang first and try afterward.

or direct accusation an innocent man

GOOD ROADS RESOLUTIONS
STRONG DECLARATIONS ADOPTED IN
ST. LOUIS.
Recommend Hearty Cooperation of
Township, County, State and Ma
tiOnal Governments.

St. Louis, April 30 AT the last
days session of the national and
international good roads convention,
T, G. Harper, of Burlington, Iowa,
chairman Of the committee on resolu-
tions, submitted the report of that
commission, which was adopted. The
resolutions declare;
l That the building of good roads
in The United States is now of para
mount importance to national pros
perity and commercial supremacy.
2. That we recommend the hearty
cooperation of township, county,
state and national governments in the
furtherauce of this great end.
3. That the association believes
the appropriations heretofore made
for the building of railroads, canals
and the improvement Of the rivers
and harbors have been wise and
benefcent, but an appropriation for
the improvement of our common
highways has now become necessary
to extend the blessings of intelligence
and to promote a high order of
citizenship among all classes of people
and to meet the ever growing neces-
stiles of the agricultural interests.
4. That we recommend the estab-
llshment throughout the United
States of a complete and perfect
organization Of the nation down
to the township, which organizations
shall so overlap each other as to make
complete national organization.

Volcano and Earthouake.

Frank, N. W. T., April 29.-An
earthquake occurred about 4;SO O'Clock
this morning and the whole valley
below this town for a mile wide was
shaken up Immediately after what
appears to have been a volcanic
eruption which took place on top Of
Turtle mountain, which overlooks
the town. Millions OF tons Of rock
were thrown down, covering the
entrance, the mine buildings being
buried hundreds Of feet deep. All
the men employed about tine mine
outside we're killed and some twenty
miners imprisoned 10 the mine with
little hope Of rescue. The loss Of life
III estimated at 100, mostly women

and four children are among the dead.

Considered as part of the general
scheme, it plays very unimportant

has been made to force attention to
it by such means as towers, domes, or

eight oblong parts almost equal IN

with glass covered and ventilated
arcades, from 30 to 60 feet wide,

Only One Performance.

The Luella Forepaugh.Fish Wild
West Show arrived from Marshall too
late Thursday to give an afternoon
performance. The parade, which was
an unusually good one, was not given
until about 8 O'Clock. The show as a
whole was good, but unfortunately
the weather conditions were unfavor-
able and the large crowd that saw it
did not get the satisfaction they
would have gotten had it been more
pleasant.

consists Of sculptured panels illus
trating in bold relief mining and
metallurgical operations 10 symbolical
representations, the background to
the scuptured figures being Of a
rough golden colored glass which
will be illuminated at night and show
the figures in silhoutte. The figures
are more than life size. AS a building
for housing exposition exhibits il was
argued that it should express ex-
ternally as much friendly dignity
as would be compatible with its
ephemeral character; that it would be
incongruous, however, to disguise its
ephemeral character by the garb of
severe and classic forms which we
associate with the most lasting archi-
tectural monuments of antiquity; and
that furtherhore-being a part of
the greatest "show" ever attempted
1t undoubtedly should be novel,
striking and full of life.
The style of architecture which it
represents has been a source of much
speculation.
"Some have attempted to classify it
as an example of the nouveau art, y
says Mr.. Theo. G. Link, the architect
of the building, "but when recently
noticed an English art critic say, in
protesting against its invasion OF
Great Britain, that this 'nouveau art

than it is to let hundred guilty go
unwhipt of justice There is no need
for either to be done. Let no guilty
man escape Let no innocent man
be convicted by public sentiment.
First, trial; then punishment
A magazine writer, 10 a clever
story Of the Doodle exposure in st
Louis politics, employed the striking
phrase, "the shamelessness of ST.
Louis" Since the trail of the Doodle
serpent has been found to extend into
the state there are many estimable
people who refer, with phrase bor-
rowed from the magazine, to "the
shamelessness of Missouri. f" In this
way injustice is done alike to the city
and the state. The Doodle revelation
discloses shameful condition Of
affairs but not shamelessness. On
the contrary the very exposures, the
quickly aroused public sentiment, the
early prosecutions, grand jury lndlct-
ments, Folk and Grow, conspire to
show that the people of city and state
are ashamed and not shameless. Had
they been shameless there would have
been no outcry, no public indignation,
no prosecution. If the Doodle ex-
posures evidence dark and dreadful
condition Of civic affairs the popular
demand for exposure and punishment
without regard to party, shows that
there is public virtue left and that
none need be pesslmlsSic at the

"Let US therefore name it secession

IL the name should not make it quite

MISSOURI FRUII SUFFERS
REPORTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE
ARE DISCOURAGING.
Frost OF Wednesday Night Killed Most OF
it, Says L. A. Goodman, Secretary
State horticultural Society.

l.. A Goodman, secretary of the
Missouri State Horticultural society,
is convinced, by reports which he
received from all over the state, that
the cold and heavy frost of Wed
nesday night greatly damaged the
early fruit and vegetable crops. The
cold wave had large expanse and ex-
tended over large area of the fruit
growing country. Orchards and veg
etable gardens all over the west and
for 800 miles south suffered serious
injury, be says. Practically all Of
Missouri is included in the damaged
district, except among the Ozark
mountains, where the heavy pine
growth protected the fruit trees from
the cold. Mr.. Goodman expects to
receive many more reports from
different parts of the state. He says
he has no reason to believe they will
prove more optimistic than thos1 he
has received.
CAN vegetation suffered terribly as
result Of Wednesday nights cold
snap and heavy frost," said Mr.,
Goodman ut probably did as much
damage, If not more, than a decided
freeze. The fruit trees and the vege-
tables in the low lands bore the brunt
of the injury. This is because the
cold settles down aud collects in the
low places. The trees on higher
ground did not suffer so much,
although the buds on their lower
branches are practically done for In
many cases, even where they were
not frosted, the buds were 50 tender
that they became thoroughly chilled
and dropped off the trees,

ruined. This is the third time that
the peach buds have met with a
serious setback. In February they
were badly frozou; again in March
the snow and frost played sorry havoc
with their prospects of maturity, and
now, the first OF May, when those
still alive we're beginning to put out
their heads, they met with most
chilly reception, which killed them
of absolutely.

better. In many districts over the

outright by the frost and many Of
those which escaped the white death
became so thoroughly chilled that
they were forced to released their
hold on the twigs and fell to the
ground Other fruit trees suffered
likewise. The cherry blossoms do
not appear until later, so perhaps
this fruit suffered the least damage.

berries and early vegetables were
badly injured. Not much sweet corn
had been planted, but potato, bean

B. F. c. Recital.

The Department of Expression OF
BAPTIST College, represented by it's
Seniors, presented most pleasing
entertainment on Monday evening
at the New Grand Opera House.
The selections were so arranged that
Miss Cooper and Miss Martin had the

both fields of Dramatic Art. 1t is
no light praise to say that in both
tragedy aud comedy these young
ladies' did we'll, thongh IL soon be-.

belonged the fun loving fun making
themes, while to Miss Martin was
properly given more serious roles.
MISS Cooper's ''Old Hickory" in
which pathos and humor united, was
pr esented with naturalness and free
dom, making 1t one Of the best num-
bers on the programme, while Miss
Martins appreciative study of
"Herod" won prolonged applause.

costume. Samantha Allen, appro-
priately bonneted and gowned,
tempted her listeners to take sides in

entire entertainment will long be

ciative audience as one of the best
ever presented by Miss Chatfns
class. The programme was as
follows:
