Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1908-04-30

better roads already has been made,
and that the near future promises a
development; along these lines certain
and TO make Missouri the envy OF her
sister states. l believe we are now
on the way to secure splendid high
ways from one end OF the common
wealth 10 the other. Plans have been
matured for the construction OF a state
highway from 81. Louis 10 Kansas
City, and the state highway engineer
is now engaged in working out this
idea. II will, OF course. take time TO
perfect the system, but we have now
made good start.
Labor and Capital.
Investments OF capital In the state
have been encouraged and the opportu.
mites for labor enlarged. Both have
been treated fairly, and the rights OF
both have been protected. There have
been disputes which have been set.
tied. some by the state board OF arbi.
tration. others by amlcable agree
ment. There have been no disastrous
strikes. and no disturbances arising
out OF conflict between the interests
of capital and labor. Missouri has
been more free from violence of this
kind during the past three aud a half
years than any other state In the
Union. In fact, there has been none
az all OF consequence.

Statute Of Limitation in Bribery Cases
said would recommend that the
statute of limitation in bribery cases
be fixed at Ave years. the statutory pc
riod OF three years being too short, as
transactions Of that kind do not us
.ually come to light until long after the
offense Is committed. In accordance
with this recommendation the. general
assembly OF 1905 enacted a statute
making the statute OF Limitation in
bribery cases Ave years.
Elections and Police.
Four years ago the people Of the
state, especially OF the cities, were
aroused over the subject of elections,
It was claimed that the personal lib
erty OF men In casting their votes as
they pleased and having them counted
as cast. was In many instances taken
away. In a free country there can be
nothing more sacred than the ballot,
and the greatest political crime that
can be committed Is to take Il away
from a citizen unjustly. On this sub
iect / said in that campaign:
II propose 10 put an end TO that
Indian business in st. Louis and
Kansas City. Every democrat,
whether he be for the machine or
against the machine; every repub-
lican. every popullst, every social
ist. every man or every party ard
OF no party, shall have the right
to so TO the polls and vote Just as
no pleases. without interference.
and without being slugged by
lot OF ruffans. want TO make
the ballot in Missouri honest and
free; want political liberty 20
reign supreme in this state. and
TO that end the police shall be
taken out Of politics. and politi-
clans win not be allowed to wear
blue coats and brass buttons"
That promise has been kept to the
letter. There have been four elections
In each Of the three large cltiea OF the
state during this administration with
out the least complaint OF fraud OF
undue influence. or the faiRtest suspl
eion a. 70 the honesty or fairness Of
the election. Every man has been 40

1905. shall show that the pledges OF
the democratic platform have been re-
deemed and that l have kept every
promise made to the people In that
campaign. Without honest and coura.
geous men In the general assembly II
would not have been possible to Sc
cure the enactment OF these beneficial
measures, and give to that body due
credit for It's good work. More good
laws we're enacted by the last general
assembly than by any legislature In
the history OF the state. =,
The Lobby.
I promised In the opening address OF
my gubernatorlal campaign to do all
that could to end the influence OF n
corrupt lobby; and at the last regular
session of the general assembly an act
was passed making professional lobby
ing n felony, except when the lobbyist
registers with the secretary OF state,
stating whom he represents. the bill
he is lobbying for and filing with the
secretary Of state a statement OF en-.
penses. This. believe. will end lobby.
ing of the Objectionable kind. for lob
byist OF questionable character will nc
more operate in the glare OF publicity
than bats will fly In the blaze OF day.
The Free Psss.
Again said; "The legislators firsI
step toward corruption is. usually, the
accepting Of a free railroad pass. The
laws on this subject will be strictly en-
forced" A few years ago, even though
by the constitution and laws of oul
state the act carries with II a heavy
penalty. officials, especially legislators
made no concealment OF accepting FREE
railroad transportation. They had nj
more right to accept favors OF tina
kind for official acts past or presen
than they had TO take the equivalen
In money. Yet they seemed uncon
scious of any wrong. They havt
learned better now. This practice ha
been ended, and II any Missouri legis
lator has unlawfully used free rail

previous Is it that our bSgs md

inclined to think it is the latter.
Let me be candid and say, to begin
with, that do not know what is
being sold to make one drunk. but
something certainly is. 1t NAV be
some so called "soft drink but if

he gets drunk on. He is a nuisance
whether he gets drunk on pure (?)
whiskey or hard cider.

SO are the officers If the citizens
demand that such traffic stop the
officers will stop it. The officers
are creatures of the citizens and
will do just what the citizens de
mand. 1t is up to the citizens.
What are you going to do about itY
Are you going to continue to let
men conduct themselves on the
streets in such manner th"t our
ladies caunot go out without being
insulted. To arrest a man and
fine him may satisfy the law, but
not the morals of our town.
1t has been but a short while
since | heard IA prominent business
man of our town tell a certain off
Ger that something had to be done
to protect him and his patrons.
The business man said he did not
mean to be run over any more, and
that if the officers did not protect
him that he meant to protect HIM
self. He asserted that he was
going to use his gun on the next
drunk man that came staggering
into his place Of business insulting
him and every one who elanced to
be in his store. | heard another
business man of our town say this
week that he had sent his son out

around certain place and being

In conclusion Let me suggest ;
