In the opinion of the Missouri

tisement and EXPEDITION OF our re-
sources in the eastern and southern

LEGISLATION.
l earnestly invite the attention of
the general assembly tothe necessity
OF fulfilling the pledges made to the
people which require legislation for
their enforcement.
| also earnestly urged the necessity
for the enactment of an effective law
to protect game and fish, The pres
ent etatute is ineffective, and the ne
cessity for amendment is obvious,
The state board of charities and
correction recommends the creation
of n juvinile court, applicable to the
larger cities Of the state. | cannot
too strongly ihdorse the enactment
of such legislation, and trust it may
meet with your approval.
At this time | do not desire to sub
nit further recommendations in re.
spect to proposed legislation. Twill
do 80 from time to time by special
message in the event the interests
of the people should seem to require
it.
And now, gentlemen, permit me to
again congratulateyou, and through
you the great people you represent,
upon this suspicious opening of the
forty. second general assembly. 1t is
an exalted privilege to be citizen Of
this proud commonwealth. 1t is a
privilege to be a citizen Of this great
republic.
The fundamental doctrines of gov
eminent announced by Thomas JET
ferson dedicated this young republic
to freedom. Its development is the
romance ofhistory. Our progress ii
invention; the expansion of territur,
the increase OF population; the stu
pendous accumulation of wealth anG
the development III all our vast
wealth and the development of al
| four vast rU,i -v,!T.1d resources vii
live in song and story while the ever
lasting hills endure. To day we oc
cupy the vantage position of thu
freest and most progressive nation
in the history of the human race. The
i!nperishable achievements of thu
ii st century of our constitutional
existence could be poesible only by 6
united, enterprising, free people.
Hover, great as have been the tri
umphs of our people, more liberia
commercial policies invite us to yer
greater triumphs. Under the polio,
of freer trade this republic will soo1
become masterful Commercial
world power. Unhampered trade;
new merchant navy; cheap capital
unsurpassed inventive genius; intelli
gent labor; unexcalled productiv
machinery, and the tireless enter
prise OF the people will destroy trus
monopolies now sheltered by legisla
ton, and also enable the productiv
industries of the country to dominat
the highways of ocean commerce an,
the marts Of the world.
With JOY Missouri will hail the com
ing era, when the glories of CONNER
cial freedom shall crown our countr
with the laurels of respondent, fade
less supremacy. A. NJ. DOCKERY.
