the Held from this time on until the day of the election.
 Some probability of the removal of the central headquarters of the anti amendment campaign committee from Montgomery to Birmingham has been expressed. J. Lee Long. campaign manager. was in Birmingham during last week, and an impression was gained by Birmingham supporters of his fight that the removal would be brought about, with the retention of branch office in Montgomery. Noth- ing could be determined as to the truth or falsity of the rumor, owing to the absence Of MT. Long from the city last night.
 The campaign manager has been bringing every effort to bear to make for the succesa of the big rally in Birmingham next Saturday. A letter has been sent out by him. telling of the speakers. as follows:
 "A grand open> air rally speaking from different standr will be held in Birmingham on Saturday. October ?. at Capitol park in the evening at 7:30. The following speakers will tell why the proposed amendment should be defeated:

10 APPOINTMENT ANNOUNCED

When Saturday. passed. and Cover
 nor Conner left the Capitol, without having announced his choice for the Supreme court bench to succeed Judge N. D. Denson. there were scores of
 disappointments. The appointment had been expected Saturday after
 noon. and nothing was given out.
 Officially 1t Is stated that the ap-
 pointment will be announced Tuesday.
 Officially. there is nothing definite as to the appointee. although 1t has
 gone out, unofficially. that the ap- Clayton Judge of the Third Circuit, is assured The packers of Judge
 Evans announce their confidence that their fayorite will be awarded the plum. It is taken. as matter of course. that he will be--if he receives the appointment, a candidate for elec- ton to the bench in the 1910 primaries His appointment to the bench will
 render vacant the judgeship of the
 Third Circuit, and some curiosity exists as to the appointment of a. successor.
 Judge A. H Alston, a townsman of Judge Evans, both hailing from Clay ton, is Supernumary Judge of the
 State. Judge Alston. prominently mentioned as successor to Judge Evans. should the latter receive the
 Supreme Court appointment. is known to maintain an unreceptive attitude, as regards the circuit judgeship.
 Harry L. Martin. of Ozark. editor
 of The Ozark Tribune, a lawyer, and one of the staunchest administration
 supporters of the wiregrass region. Is
 looked upon as~a probable successor
 to Judge Evans. So sanguine Is the
 Evans faction of their mans appoint
 ment to the Supreme Court bench that they are speculating upon his success sor. Reliable prognostication selects
 Harry L. Martin.
 Governor Conner will be out or Mont eomery until Tuesday morning. He will be in Ozark for an address on
 Monday, and until his return there Is nothing to be definitely announced

Hon. D. A. Ball has made
known his intention to again be.
come a candidate for the Demo.
cratic nomination for Governor
of Missouri, We have grave
doubts as to the wisdom of Mr..
Balls decision. In the late
election many warm admirers of
Mr.. Ball were disappointed in
him because of the manner in
which he took his defeat, and his
open and repeated charge of
fraud, which he alleged pre-.
vented him from securing the
nomination. Without going into
the merits of his allegations at
this time, it may well be said
that Mr.. Ball had more friends
last year that be can hope to gain
in the next campaign. ~ Glasgow

all concerned. Miss Dunn will con-
tinue in charge of the department of
expression. Miss Ruggies has resign
ed her position as art teacher and
Mrs. E. w. White has consented to
take charge of the art department
next year. Mrs. White has been
interested in art for some time and
is thoroughly capable of getting the
best results in that line. The friends
of the college will be glad to know
of her acceptance of the position.
Miss Cheney win reliuquish her
charge of the vocal department. for
a years study in Europe. Her work
here has been most gratifying, 1t is
easily seen that her attention is
given to fundamentals and not to
superticialities. Everyone OF her
pupils has improved to a marked
degree during the year and the work
of her chorus and quartet at the
commencement exercises excited
much admiration. Her place will be
taken by one of her classmates,
Mrs. Foster.
An important change has been
made ia the piano department. Prof,
]. P. Ludebuehl after a most salts
factory years work has resigned
Mr.. Ludebuehl is a good performer
and an excellent teacher as well as
a most thorough gentleman. The de-
parture Of him and his wife will be a
distinct loss to Lexington,

management of the college is able
to announce William H. Sherwood
Of Chicago as visiting director next

Of the country. He will map out the

Why wait So Long.

Nearly every newspaper in
Missouri is continually telling
its readers of certain measures
that would be a profit to their
respective town and country.
The suggestions are seldom
questioned and most of them
meet the accord of the people.
The public is slow in taking
hold of a suggestion though the
people are thoroughly. convinced
that the measure is good and in
reach of them. They usually
wait a year or two before they
begin action, If they begin at all.
The public, somehow, does not
care to listen to the clarion of it's
press as much as it cares to as
sist some promoter who chances
to come their way, with some
pet scheme. When the sugges-
ton of the press is taken into
consideration the credit some.
times goes to the wrong fellow.
A suggestion Well.founded do.
serves consideration at once

Lerishture FutiEty and home RuIe.

Legislature Futiity and Home Rule,
Governor Hughes has been
praised by thoughtful men all
over the country for his bold use
of the veto power in behalf of
the principle of municipal home
rule. He has killed not only bad
bills but bills that were intrinsi-
cally meritorous enough, solely
on the ground that they were in
references IN purely local af
fairs. A genuine home ruler, he
does not believe in deciding for
municipalities matters which
they are entirely competent to
decide for themselves.
Mayor Mcclellan of New York
who has the constitutional power
to veto bills affecting the city of
which he is the executive, has of
late been lettering the Hughes
instructions. Within a fortnight
or so he has vetoed a dozen bills
on home rule grounds, and his
messages explanatory of his dis
approval have been, in the words
of the leading Republican organ
of New York, "strikingly sue
cinct and judicious." This bill
was futile, that superhuous
and so on. Local officials
were authorized to do
things which, the mayor
pointed out, they either had al
ready started out to do or had
the full power to do under the
constitution and general laws.
Other bills commanded or per-
mitted things which were in con
hict with existing statutes that
no one wished to repeal or
touch.
AT the best our state legisla-
lures are not precisely models
of efficiency. Not a few of them
are scandalously incompetent
and treachefous. Sine die adj
iournment without any positive
or beneficial results, with many
important measures buried in
committee or lost in transit from
one house to the other, is by no
means an exceptional phenom-
enon. Yet the legislatures find
time to meddle with grown-up
municipalities, to debate and
pass many utterly superfuous
measures and more trivial ones.
Proper business is neglected or
iuggled with in the most brazen
manner; for improper and IN.
necessary business" there
seems to be no lack of will or
time.
Home rule is not only essen.
tial to good municipal admins
tration, but one of the condi-
tions of reasonable Legislative eff
ticiency within the legitimate
sphere of state activity. Chicago
