 Trouble

BUTLER, Mo, March GA neigh oorhood quarre-, ws.ich grew out of the whipping of an anruly pupil by young woman teacher and passed through intermediate stages in court, eliminated in the shooting of James Harrison, a farmer. Mir. Harrison lives three miles southwest of Butler. X few yards nearer town and on the opposite side of the road, live Charles E Garner and his son, George. The Harrison yard and barn lot are ID plain view from the Garner house. Mir. Harrison drove out of his barn lot en route to town. Just as he ar rived in front of the Garner house, a man stepped from behind a tree in side the yard, with 9 revolver in his hand, and said:
 Damn you, I've got you" and fired at MT. Harrison. The latter had on gloves and started to draw them Off and reach for a pistol which he had in his pocket. The shot frightened the horse, which reared and. turning the buggy, threw Mr. Harrison to the ground.
 The assafant, after seeing him reach for a revolver, drew back be hind the tree ard fired again as liar rison got up.
 By this time Mir Harrison had drawn his revolver, and both men were shooting, although neither hit the other.
 At this time a boy stepped from be hind the corner of the house. seventy five feet away. and discharged a shot gun, the load striking Mir Harrison in the face and breast.
 The assailanss ran, and Mr Harri- son walked to his house. SheriH Bullock was notified and went to the scene of the shooting. He arrested Garner and his son and peced them in jail here

PAY FOR YOUR RELIGION.
CommerciaI-Appeal

Religion has eXeTted a tremendous
force over our civilization Viewed
from the human standpoint alone, re-
ligion is the strongest bulwark law
and justice have.
An ethical system divorced from re-
ligion has a foundation in Quicksand,
and soon falls to pieces.
Every moral precept We have has
been terminated and nurtred
through and by religion. Without re-
ligion every man would be a law unto
himself, and in the end there would
be confusion. followed by chaos
Anything that is worth having is
worth working for. Things that are
useful can only be secured through
labor. If religion is a useful thing.
it is worth paying for.
Religion is free and without price
and yet the man who breaches it or
who teaches it must live, and the la
bOrer in the Lords vineyard is worthy
OF his hire.
There are thousands of people in
this state and in other states who en-
joy the benefits of religion, but make
no contributions whatever toward its
support
The religious teachers profession
should be made such that when his
old age comes he may not be turned
out to become an object OF desultory
charity.

Another Great Victory
For The Rights of States.

Again has the right of state to
administer its own affairs been rati-
fed by the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. The Journal noted a few
days ago the opinion of that court in
the Powell case, which originated in
Alabama, and now the decision of the
Texas courts filming the Pierce
Oil company 81 ,625, 900 for infraction
of the state antitrust laws and GUST
ing the company from the common
wealth has been sustained.
And it is especially pleasing that
the last named decision was a slap in
the face of the inferior federal court
in Texas which had attempted to
hamper the progress of the states
suit in every way within its power.
1t may be news to some of these cir
cult judges that even a RooseveItian
administration has been unable to
shatter the power of the states. how
ever earnest may have been the eff
fort to do so and however far the
president and his aide de camp Root
may have led the minds OF certain
thoughtless and misguided people in
that dangerous direction. But We
opine that a new light is breaking
upon their august intelligences.
There is no use crossing a bridge
before it is reached, but one cannot
help looking forward with an interest
not unmiXed with dread as to what
manner of men Taft will select to fill
the vacancies on the supreme bench
which will occur during his admins
tration- In those appointments he
holds blessing or a curse to the ma
tion-a power for good or evil far ex-
! ceeding that contained in any other
function he will be able to control
while in office. We can only hope
that patriotism will guide him Alright;
or, failing that, that the senate will
/ look we'll to the character of his ap-
pOintees and refuse to confirm any
save men of the highest honor and
complete masters of the letter and
spirit of the American constitution.
