A GREAT SPEECH.
Mayor James A. Reed Ably Defends
Democratic Party from Assaults on
it made by the GIobe.D Demo.
Crat and other Enemies.

Saturday Afternoon for the
first time in the political his
tory of Monroe City-a veritable
hot bed of politics-the opera
house was1hlled to listen to a
political speech. Every seat
was taken, aisles blocked with
standing men half way from
door to stage and even the
gallery was filed,
1t was not a comm and goin'
crowd, but an attentive one
that remained quiet-except for
applause-for more than two
hours.
If Mr. Folk will come to
Monroe City we will do what
we can to arouse curiosity
enough to give him full house
and will guarantee him a re.
spectful hearing.
Mayor Reed was adver-
tised to speak here and was Civ.
en- a good hearing. Hon w, T.
Ragland in his usual style in tro.
duced the speaker.
Mayor Reed made an able, in .
teresting speech clearly def n.
ing the issues between the Re
publican and Democratic par
ties, showing what our Republi'
can friends have done for the
state, and proving that under
Democratic rule Missouri ha s
had the best government of an J
state in the Union. He told oi
the many unsuccessful attempts
of republicans to again obta in
control.
He fearlessly denounced the
unjust. un allied for attacks or
the party of Jefferson which b as
done so much for Missouri and
laid bare the Folk skeleton.
1t was true Democratic {
speech-just such one as !.
Democrats will want to hear
after the convention.
Boodlers and lobbyists hav {
no friend in james A, Reed. H {
denounces them in his speeche :
and his works show that be

the power of the law TO drive
them from the state or put the II

President William r. Harper
announced to the senior class
that the university had out
grown it's UNCONVENTIONAL char
-acter. He declared that in the
nature OF it's faculty, it's stud
ents and it's methods it had
spI cad beyond it's allegiance to
the Baptist church. Most of
the students and most of the
professors, be said, were non
Baptists All the buildings on
the campus were paid for by
people of other creeds, he con-
tinued, and $99 out of every
800, except that given John D.
Rockefeller, who is Baptist,
were contributed by people not
members of that church.
Religious denominationalism
In universities, he said, was
marrow. mindedness," and the
fact that the University of Chi
cago bad broken away from this
class was an evidence of it's
mental progress.
1t is announced that during
the sixteen months the Rev
erend Doctor W. F. McMurry
has been pastor of Centenary

out of the reversal of Mr.. Wares de-
cisions on pension cases by Mr.. Miller
when they came up on appeal
Mode of Procedure.
The mode OF procedure in dealing with
a pension claim is not far different rom
ordinary law court procedure. The
claim goes to a pension examiner, then
to chief examiner. then TO the Com
missioner Of Pensions. From his de-
cision the claimant has an appeal to
the board OF appeals at the Interior
Department. and from the decision Of
the board an appeal to Assistant Sec
rotary Miller
Il frec-'~--ttt- '-.-,,--------ns that Mr. Wares
decisions are reversed. Then there IS
Trouble. The Pension Commissioner has
insisted upon appearing before the board
OF appeals and arguing the right of his
decision. This is analogous to the judge
of a court appearing before the Court
of Appeals to which one of his decisions
has been taken. And then, il is said,
Mr.. Ware viii not execute the decisions
when they come back reversed. In
stead of executing them promptly and
throwing the responsibility on the In
terror Department, he holds the cases
I'D anywhere from ten days to seven or
eight months, sometimes going TO Sec
retary Hitchcock and sometimes ASKING
tho Department Of Justice for an opln-
ion upon them. which. II is claimed Is
