SPECIAL SESSION

For several days the action of
the members of the senate in spe-
cial session was very discouraging
to those who had hoped for some
real legislation that would redeem
the pledges of the Democratic
party to the people. AT this time
the situation looks more favor
able and it now seems fairly sure
that some of the platform mea-
sures would be passed and the
people given an opportunity to
vote upon them at the November
election, which is we'll. A primary
law and an initiative and referen-
dunn amendment will undoubtedly
be submitted for vote. The pri-
mary law may not be what the
people want or just what has been
promised them. but once the peo-
pie have the initiative and refer
endum in their hands they have
the power. if the demand is strong
enough, to amend it and get what
they want. Ordinarily we are
advocates of law and order. but
if a few of those counties which
are misrepresented in the legis-
lature by gangsters and obstruc'
tionists who are determined to
defeat the will of the people were
to organize playful little "necktie"
parties to receive home their
legislators when they return from
the special session and begin their
canvass for re election we would
not prate that the state had been
disgraced. but rather the reverse.

All sorts of bills bearing on the
six subjects incluoed in the gov
ernor's call for extra session have
been introduced, but people will
do we'll to put but little stock in
the reports printed in the extreme
partisan papers of Denver. Ac-
cording to these papers, these
bills have been emasculated,
butchered. faxed. strangled and
put through divers other painful
and presumably fatal calamities.
In truth, all the bills so far intro
duced are in rather an extreme
form. their sponsors well knowing
that when the conference commit
tee got busy it must be a case of
give and take IN order to finish
with something reasonable and
acceptable to the masses. Good
feeling prevails among the men,
bers who were bitter factionalists
during the regular session. and
there is every reason 70 believe
that common sense. and the best
interests of the people and the
Democratic party, will bring
about a series of compromises
that will result in the enactment
of splendid laws. Senators who
were almost at fighting pitch dur
ing the session of 1909 are now
good old pals, and will tell you
with a confident smile that the
extra session is going to do all
that is expected of it, and possi-
bly, more.

A New Insight
Into Interest Taking

| Whenever you get a dollar without
producing the equivalent therefor
somebody must produce the equiva-
lent. Except in those rare cases oi
voluntary donation, the producer oi
wealth who parts with it for less
than its exact value is robbed.
The robbery is usually perpetrated
according to law by means OF rents,
profit or interest. II we attempt to
live without taking profit or increase
in some form, we go broke; for inevery
transaction the other fellow tries to
get the best OF us and we must there
fore do the same with him and take
"all the traffic will bear" according
to law.
"For the manner in which men
now live is so different from the man.
ner in which men ought to live that
he who deviates from the common
course and endeavors always to act
as duty dictates necessarily insures
his own destruction"
People who are opposed to this
wicked system of robbery according
to law vote the Socialist ticket as
soon as they acquire sufficient intel
ligence.
Those who are well satisfied with
the worship OF Mammon now uni
versal in the business world refuse
to aid the Socialist cause in any
way.
Since we desire to acquire wealth
without the trouble and toll OF pro-
duction the most approved way Of
robbing the worker is by means OF
corporations.
"a corporation has no soul to be
lost and no body to be kicked" hence
we can take the profits and be
blameless.

Thomas B. Pritchard Dead.

Thomas Benton Pritchard died
Thursday afternoon at 2:SC
o'clock at the home of his broth
er-in-law, N. P. Buck, in Waver-
", Mo-, from a stroke of apo
plexy.
Capt. Pritehard was a native
of Lafayette county and was
born near Lexington February
Is, 1913. He spent his early
manhood in this county and
when the Civil War broke out he
enlisted in Colonel Bledsoe : bat
terry. After seeing considerable
service with this famous battery
he later became a member of
General Joe Shelby's brigade.
After the close of the war he
went to st. Louis and became ac-
lively engaged in the hotel bust
ness. At various times he was
clerk in the Southern, the Olive
Street hotel, Hotel Barnum and
the Laclede. He was connected
with the latter place about
twenty-seven years and only re-
signed from there ten months ago
Capt. Pritchard's personality was
the ideal for a hotel clerk-al-
ways affiable, courteous and so
fictitious for the comfort of the
guests. He had a splendid mem
DRY and after his first INTRODUCED
ion to a guest, he would always
after welcome them by name.
Capt. Pritchard was married
to Mrs. Annie Conrad who died
July IA, 1895. He is survived
by two sisters, Mrs. Harriet Bar
ron of this city and Mrs. N. P.
of Waverly. Since his
retirement from active work he
had been making his home with
his sisters.
The funeral services were held
in Waverly and burial was in st.
beside his wife.

High School Notes.

The first annual published by
the Lexington High School will
make its appearance this year.
Our High School ranks among
the best of the state. We have
a corpse of teachers that any
high school would be proud of,
Every student is taking an in
terest in his or her work. The
spirit of the school is of the best
in every way and when such
facts as these exist why shouldn't
we be proud of our school and
let everybody know it. Work
has begun on the annual and we
are going to make the first num-
Der a grand success.
We have a fire drill every
few days. OF course the stu
dents never know when the
alarm is to be sounded. Some
times this comes as a welcome de-
%liverance from our awful ques-
ton on a hard problem. Espec-
tally when a student has not
had quite" enough Of time to
prepare the lesson. SO you see
a fire drill could be more serious.
A number of the High School
boys have filled application
blanks for the purpose of enter
ing the Inter High School Track
Meet at Warrensburg, April 80.
A preliminary meet among the
boys will be held in the next few
days so as to find the ones best
fitted to represent our school.
It looks as though base ball
had been abandoned for the pres
ent. At least we had the mis-
fortune to lose our grounds. We
have two or three games schedu-
led which we hope to be able to
play even unnder such circum-
stances.

THE SQUIRT FUzEE
Episode of Masonic College,
Lexington, Mo.
tBY PETER c-oNNELLEYl

OF marbles, china, rock or agate
OF tops and stills, of bow and ar
row,
Don't talk to me;
Give me a gun if it's bear or spar
row,
Or if the call be to inundate,
Give me the Squirt Fuzee.
OF all the joys my boyhood knew,
Embalmed in memory;
The darling is the stream that few,
From the nozzle of the Squirt Fuzee.
I've seen blue eyes, I've tasted wines,
Perhaps too f~requentlee;
Now that the Sun for me declines,
And joys devoid of zest;
l celebrate the Squirt Fuzee,
Mine earliest and best.
1t was a Saturday afternoon,
The school boys jubilee;
The afternoon had been spent by some,
Swimming in the Missouree;
BY others roaming through the woods,
Or the streets of the fair Cittee.
And now the dinner hour had come
AT the college h~ostelree,
Whose landlord was a patriarch
From old Virginia's shores,
'Twixt whom and them, I may remark,
Were certain unsettled scores.
That day to spy on the euchre deck,
And report to the facultee,
Like a Fox he lay with open ear
In the room-say number three.
