HON. GEO. b. ELLIS PRAISED
State Board of Agriculture Pass
ed Resolutions Endorsing
His Work.

AT a called meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture held at Spring
field, Mo-, January q, 1919. the fol-
lowing resolutions with reference to
the retirement of the Hon. George B.
Ellis, as Secretary of the Board were
adopted:
George B. Ellis, of Bates Co, was
in 1907 elected Secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture of Missouri, be-
ing, as required by law, "a practical
farmer and well-versed in agricultur-
al science.
1T was a fortunate selection for
Mr.. Ellis, for the State Board of Agri-
culture and for the State of Missouri.
1t gave Mr.. Ellis the opportunity to
develop his innate qualities of hon
esty, patience, diligence and loyalty.
AS he worked with his farmers insti-
tutes and publications, with the State
Veterinarian and the State Highway
Engineer, his labors nodded his
character, and his character stamped
his work.
1.-THE State Board Of Agriculture,
meeting but seldom, depends for its
repute and efficiency largely upon
the efforts of its Secretary.
From beginning to finish of his
secretaryship the Board has endorsed
the work of Mr.. Ellis as good and the
people of Missouri have a right in
taking pride in their Board of Agri-
culture.
"The State of Missouri has had in
Geo. B. Ellis an appointee who fully
complied with section 18 of its con-
stitution, in that he personally devot-
ed his time and powers, physically
and mentally, to the performance OF
the duties of his office.
'The State Board of Agriculture in
parting with its loyal secretary can
honestly say to him.
Farewell. Well done thou good
and faithful servant.
"Your state is yet a debtor to you.
Your future carer must and will be
one Of continued usefulness, as you
have acquired the habit thereof.
Glad and proud are we to be able to
hereto testify"

SIX DRINKS TIED
UP THE ROAD.
Two Telegraph Operators in Wyo-

of Business.

RawlinS, Wyo., Feb.-Six drinks
of whisky distributed equally between
two telegraph operators at Dana tied
up the whole Union Pacific system in
Wyoming Saturday according to adj
missions made by the, railroad Off
Gals.
The operators were not until Sat
urday familiar with the effects of
whisky and did not imagine that such
a small amount could put them sun
der the table" AS that day was Lin
coins birthday they felt so good over
it that they decided drinking whisky
was the only decent way of cclebrat-
ing.

gested one of them after the celebra-
ton had progressed so far as the six
drinks.
Sure" agreed the other, ''but
how about the trains"
'l'll fix them," said the first, and
he at once swung the red signalboard
to hold all fast mail trains and hung
out a signal on the station door say
ing;
"This station is closed"
"Now, then," said the second oper-
ator, "this in Lincoln's birthday and
the Union Pacific will have to get
along without us for to-day"
A good time was had by the opera
tors, but the road officials could not
see things the way they did, and the
two were arrested. They will be
prosecuted, charged with delaying
the mails.

TAFT SUPPORTERS
ALIENATED.
Kansas City Star Pictures Presi-
dent as Temperamental
Weakling.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. l4.-ln a
2,OOO-word front-page editorial The
Kansas City Star to-day says, in part:
"In his Lincoln Day speech in New
York Saturday President Taft admit
ted a loss of popularity for his admin
istration that might cause the Repub-
lican party to lose the next House OF
representatives. He might have gone
further. So great has been the de-
lection that if the presidential election
were to be held next November there
is probably only one Republican
Theodore Roosevelt-who would
stand chance of carrying the coun-
try against such a ticket, for example,
as Gaynor and Folk.
This remarkable change in public
sentiment the President devoted
much of his speech to explaining. He
attributed it to the Misrepresentation
of the new tariff law by newspapers
disgruntled over not getting a larger
reduction in the duty on paper, and
tot the hysteria which he said was the
aftermath Of the Roosevelt agitation
an 'hysteria' incidentally, which
was responsible for his own nominal
ton and election.
'But this explanation is inadequate.
Such an alienation Of supporters
could not have been the result Of out
side influences. 1t is impossible to
review the facts in the case without
the conviction that the President HIM
self is chiefly responsible for the
revolution in national opinion. What
are these facts?
"His Bath speech, declaring for re-
vision downward, was responsible
for the nomination Of Mr.. Taft. Its
amplification and emphasis in the
campaign at Milwaukee, at Des
Moines and at Topeka elected him.
Republicans who had been bound by
the protection chain felt that here at
last was the chance to break it.
when Mr.. Taft assumed office, on
a pledge of revision downward, the
country was ready to back him to the
limit. Never did a President have a
greater opportunity. Men were not
overcritical. They knew the Chief
Executive would have a hard time
whipping his party into line. They
did not expect miracles. All they
asked was a sincere and earnest ef-
fort on the part of the President to
obtain an honest revision.
| In all this transformation of pub
lie sentiment there has been little Bit
teness. Instead, there has been gen
eral sorrow over the loss Of conf

TAX DODGERS
ARE STILL IMMUNE.
County Assessors Adjourn With
out Plan For Catching Them.

Columbia, Mo-, Feb. The Missouri
Association of County Assessors elect
ed these offices for the next year:
President, J. T. Noel, Monroe coun-
ty; vice-president, j. M. Phillips,
Shelby county; treasurer, j. w. Maui
pin, Howard county.
The association adjourned its two
days meeting here before any plans
were perfected for catching tax
dodgers. Most of the time was spent
in discussing equalization of assess
ments.
The speakers agreed that in most
counties the assessor is able to list
not more than 10 per cent of the
amount of money in the county and
that, in many instances, the leading
bank of a county has more money on
deposit than is assessed to all the per-
sons in the county.
Every speaker told how he tried to
shield the farmer, who is unable to
hide his property. In most instances
the land is assessed at about one
third its value, while, according to
law, it should be assessed at its actual
cash value.
The meeting was addressed by
State Auditor John P. Gordon and
Isador Loeb of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Missouri. The next meet
ing will be in Springfield, Mo.

fidence may be regained. But the
Republican party for the present is
called on to face this undoubted fact:
If the presidential election were to be
held this. year Mr.. Taft could not
carry State west of the Allegheny
Mountains.
"And over this fact no men grieve
more sincerely than those who built
their hopes on him and helped cause
his nomination.

dence in President of charming per-
sonality and right intentions, who,
partly from temperament, partly
from lack of sagacity, partly from de-
ficiency in aggressive, militant earn
estness, has alienated the people who
believed they had found in him the
man to carry on the work begun by
Roosevelt.

has in store, or whether the lost con-

Bilbo as He is, BY One NHhO Knows
Him.

The editor knows Mr. BiIbo
knows his aspirations knows his
character. We cannot see why the
Senate goes back il the search Of
BiIbo's character and picks up
everything dirty it can and presents
it to the public. We know BiIbo
has been extravagant has lived
above his means has done some
unseemIy things in his life, for 4
Christian gentleman. Yet we
know that BiIbo has given aims
with willing hand. He has given
to the church more really than he
was able to give at times.
When Bilbo ran the dormitory
at Wiggins he credited great
many young men and women for
board and loaned them money be-
sides. The editor knows this for
he was one who received credit.

of the bad side of his life but very

This resolution was introduced by Rep

date the Federal statute provided for a
Senator to be voted for BY viva voce

such storm Of disorder and opposition
by the members Of the caucus opposed To
Vardaman that the Daily Glarion-L Ledger,
in describing the scene next morning,
among other things, said:
Language is inadequate to depict the
turmoil, and confusion, unless one pos.
sessed the powers of description not
given to the ordinary mortal. In the
language of the street urchin, sit was
fierce. TO present it ii plain, straight
forward terms it was on the verge Of

Scenes Of such wild confusion, verse
confounded, were never seen at Missis-

colored negro from Brookhaven, who
used to attend and try to run every
Republican convention held in the State,
and who never failed to stir up a row
and few knock-down and arag-out
fights"
The Bird resolution was finally gotten
rid of by motion to table. This mo-
tion was adopted by vete of sc to r.

sinister Gibbs resolution continued rs
days longer.

The stencil 81 the Caucus.

Editorially commenting on the
result Of the Bilbo Investigation
BY the Mississippi State Senate the
New Orleans States correctly pre-
sents the evil effects Of the late and
now scandaIous secret caucus in the
following pertinent language:
While we have no particular
sympathy to waste over Senator
Bilbo, who created such rumpus
in the Mississippi Legislature BY
his bribery charges, yet rejecting
men cannot avoid the conclusion
that it will require something more
than the censure or the expulsion
of Bilbo to restore the shattered
confidence Of the people OF Missis-
sippi in those who have dominated
the present session of the State
Legislature.
Probably Bilbo ought to be fired
for being an ass, but the men who
are responsible for the disgraceful
conditions in the General Assembly,
Of which BiIbo is a symptom, are
deserving of even more censure
than he. When in the effort to de-

never know all the questionable

Gus, yet enough has been revealed

to look at the record Of the Legis-

its seven or eight million dollars

that the taxpayers were never

Killed by Dynamite Explosion.

Charles Thomas of near Nyhart,
was killed and his brother, Harry
Thomas, was painfully injured by the
explosion of a quantity of dynamite
near Nyhart Thursday.
The accident occurred when. the
/ two brothers, who were hunting
squirrels near the Marias DIES Cygnes
river, discovered quantity of dyna-
mite with a fuse attached in boat on
the river. Charles, the older brother,
probably not realizing the dangerous
character Of the stuff, touched a
match to the fuse, and the dynamite
exploded almost instantly, killing him
instantly and mangling his body
horribly. Harry Thomas who was
standing short distance away re-
ceived painful, although not serious
injuries.
The injured man and the body of
his brother were carried to the home
of James Thomas, a brother, living
near Nyhart.
Coroner Lusk held an inquest over
the body of the deceased Friday, and
a verdict Of accidental death was re-
turned. The body was taken to
Cherokee, Oklahoma, for interment.
The deceased, who was about 80
years of age had been living on his
farm near Nyhart for the past year.
1t is the general opinion of the resi-
dents of the vicinity that the dynamite
had been left the boatby parties who
had probably been using the same for
dynamiting fish. This is a violation
Of the present game law, and a
thorough investigation will probably
be made by the authorities.
