STONE ELECTED A
Joint Session Of Legislature Votes to
Retain Him at Washington.

Jefferson City.-William Joel Stone
was Wednesday reelected Senator at
the joint session Of the senate and
the house.
The vote was 81 for Stone and "a
for John C.. Mckinley, Republican, a
strict party vote of the two houses.
Every pair in the two houses was
dissolved for the occasion.
Lieut.. Gov. Mckinley announced the
vote and therefore declared William
j. Stone elected United States senator
from Missouri"
This was greeted with cheers, and
Senators Humphrey and Gardner and
Representative Johnson of Vermont
were named as a committee to escort
Stone to the platform.
BY II o'clock the house of represen-
tatives was we'll filled with visitors.
Although the crowd was not a as
large as when Gov. Hadley was inaug-
urated, as many women were on hand.
The women crowded the galleries re-
served for members, and chair were
placed among the seats of the mem
bers.
Mrs. Stone, wife of Senator Stone;
Mrs. Kimbrough Stone, daughter-in-
law of the senator, and his daughter,
Miss Mabel, occupied seats in the bal
cony.
During the morning Kimbrough
Store and the senator's secretary, W
R. Hollister, were among the mem
bers to see that none of them were
absent.
Shortly before the two houses met
in separate sessions the Democrats OF
both bodies held a caucus to count
noses. Every Democrat was account
| ed for.
Senator Stone was so sure there
would be no break in the Democratic
forces that he did not ask Representa-
tive Allen of Kansas City to make the
trip to Jefferson City to vote.
The house met at 1880. and shortly
afterward received a resolution from
the senate asking for a joint session
To this the house agreed. "A call o.
the roll showed Allen was the only
absentee.
The harmonious proceedings were
in entire accord with what has beer
claimed by the Stone forces since the
members began assembling at the
capitol.

LEGISLATIVE T


Jefferson City, Mo.-Senator Ma
lang of Jasper county has dis
covered that the initiative feature of
the initiative and referendum amend
ment to the state constitution adopted
at the last election fixes no minimum
for initiating legislation. That section
of the amendment reads a maximum
CT s per cent to the voters, properly
distributed, is all that is required to
compel the legislature to submit any
matter to the people for their adoption
or rejection. No minimum is fixed,
and it is held that twelve signers to
a petition, each one living in a diff
ferent congressional district, would be
sufficient to initiate legislation.

Witness Says That Ed Marshall

for Blood.

Union City, Tenn.-Intense excite
ment revealed in court Saturday
afternoon when Frank Fehringer
went on the stand with his confession,
telling for the first time how Ed Mar.
shall, defendant, was implicated in
Captain Rankin's murder. He said
three times before Marshall had been
with them on raids, but only after
night riders had visited him and took
his pistol and other property. Fehr-
niger identified Ed Marshall and Eth
ebert Rogers as two of the five men
at the corner of Ed Powells field,
waiting for the crowd to gather. Mar
shall went with them to the hotel
after Col. Taylor and Capt. Rankin,
but not until the band returned to
Powell's field did Marshall learn of
the intention to commit murder.

UPH0LDs ACTION
SENATOR CALLS ACTION IN
BROWNSVILLE CASE LOGICAL.
As s%outherner, Speaker Portrays Race
Problem as unfathomable
Proposition.

Washington, d. C.-Senator Fra
zier of Tennessee Wednesday spoke
on the Brownsville affair and opposed
the passage of any one of the pending
bills for the re-enlistment of the negro
soldiers of the T~wenty-ifth regiment
who were discharged without honor
by the president. Senator Frazier was
a member of the committee on mill
tary affairs which investigated the
Brownsville incident, his views being
those of a southerner who had an in
innate knowledge of the negro race.
Mr.. Frazier said there was no ques-
ton as to the guilt of the soldiers. He
justified the president in his discharge
of the entire body of troops because
of the impossibility of fixing the guilt
upon particular soldiers.
Speaking of the treatment of the
negro by the people of the south, Mr..
Frazier said:
81 would not be entirely frank II !
did not say, that upon certain phases
of the rae question, l, in common
with the rest of the south, have stood
and l believe will ever stand firm and
unalterable. Never again will the
negro ace be allowed to politically
dominate and control a sovereign
state of this union. To do SO would
be to enthrone ignorance and give it
1npoinipp nHynY intn11innnnn and IN hiring
back the rapine and utter reckless de-
bauchery Of the reconstruction era.
The social barrier which separates the
races will never be allowed to be low
cred.
For 40 years, in patience and kind
ness, the people of the south have
wrestled with this problem" he said,
land it is still unsolved. What the
end will be only God in His wisdom
car see. Shall it be that the black
race will be deported? If feasible 1t
would remove the last remaining bar
rier to complete the unity of the
American people. Shall it be a race
war, bloody, fierce, extermination-a
war for the survival of the ittest?
God forbid.
Shall it be amalgamation and the
u~nspeakable horror of a corrupted
and inferior race? To allow it would
be to destroy that civilization which
is at once u strength and pride.
Shalp'it be that the two races will
dwell together, and yet apart, in peace
and harmony? To do so, without the
nj race dominating and ruling the
other, would be to belle the universal
verdict Of racial history"

ASSESSMENT
MUST Be RAISED
ESTIMATE OF RECEIPTS FOR 1909
1910 INDICATE THERE WILL BE
100000 SHORTAGE.
PROBLEM FOR LEGISLATORS
Missouri's Annual Expenses Less
Than Half Those of City Of
ST. Louis-Recount Is
Resumed.

Jefferson City.-The few members
of the general assembly left in Jeffer-
o City during the election recount
discuss tie difficulties that will have
to be met in providing money for ap-
preparations for the next two years.
According to the statement of w.
W. Wilder, retiring state auditor, there
will be more holes to fill than there
are pegs to go around. Wilder's last
report shows the estimated receipts
for 1909 and 1910 are 1882, 900, while
the estimated expenditures are SILL
G 1,822.95.
Where all of this money is to come
from will have to be worked out by
the appropriations committee as soon
as it can be named by Speaker Speer.
In working out the problem the COM
mittee will have the advice of Gov.
Hadley. In his inaugural address the
new governor recited the fact that the
appropriations two years ago exceeded
the revenue by $1,4S7, 254.24, while the
report of the state auditor shows that
the receipts for the two years closing
just as he retired from office were
$S,S10,070.40.
1t is probable that some Of the
money will be raised through an in
crease in assessments to be made by
the state board of equalization after
that body meets. The first session of
the new board will be held on the
third Monday in February.

In the light of revelations from
Hayti it is not at all surprising that
revolutions succeed there. 1t is an.
nounced in official dispatches that the
government troops are so disaffected
that they have to be tied together in
couples to prevent them from desert
ing. This suggests a modification of
an old "pome:"
The soldiers they stand two by two,
The sergeant and the corporal too.
If not tied they'd surely fee,
Leaving the gov'ment up a tree.

City Budget.

1t is a good thing for the Legislators
that they have not the same budget to
meet that the municipal government
of St. Louis has to show annually.
Naturally municipal government is
much more expensive than a state gov
eminent, but there are but few Mis-
sourians that know the expenses of
the st. Louis government every year
are greater by 1000, 900 than the en-
tire cost for running the Missouri
governmental wheels for two years.
The annual report of Comptroller
James Y. Player for the fiscal year
ending April Is, 1908, shows the taxes
received and distributed by st. Louis
for that year alone were 10,54S, 1853. SO.
But one of the reasons given for the
larger budget in proportion to the
number of inhabitants served is the
size Of salaries paid to employees. For
instance, the state pays it's auditor and
treasurer only $4,000 annually, while
the treasurer and comptroller of St..
Louis get $4,000 each, and the city
auditor $4,000.
