Few men in Missouri know as
much about the constitution and
laws of the state as "Honest John"
Kennish. Brainy, calm, conserva-
tive and powerful in speech and
manner he handles a legal propo-
sition in such a masterful way that
what he says has great weight
with a jury or a court. His ar
gument in the Roach mandamus
case before the supreme court
was SO strong that even Demo-
cratic lawyers refrained from
making further predictions about
what the decision Of the court
would be.
The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1910-07-29

Under the initiative and refer
endum law, as the attorney gen.
eral interprets it, the people may
vote on a bill or an amendment to
the constitution only when the
secretary of state, exercising jul
dicial authority, decides that the
proposition to be submitted to
vote is constitutional. AS an au-
thority on the constitution the
secretary of state thus holds a
high and lifty position. He sits
high above the ministerial position
assigned him by the constitution.

the Republican county commit
tee, upon the urgent request and
solicitation OF a large number of
influential Republicans, has con-
scented to become a candidate for
committeeman from Montgomery
township. The party in the town
ship is to be congratulated upon
being able to secure Mr.. Sleight's
consent to become a candidate.
His loyalty to his party, his abil-
ity and his knowledge of affairs
political in the county particular
ly qualify him for the position.
We presume he will be elected
without opposition.

A hot wave struck Kansas the
day Ucle Joe Cannon entered that
state. While making it hotter for
some of the Kansas statesmen who
fought him at Washington he got
too hot himself and had to quit
one speech before he had said all
he proposed to say. But he said
it all the next day, and then some,
and the sun flowers are waiting
it to the Republican voters in the
remotest corners Of all the coun-
ties. Uncle Joe is never a willing
gutter.

Queen Mary.

Maryof Teck-her full bapitismal
name is Victoria Mary Augusta Louisa
olga Pauline Claueine Agnes who
through the demise of King Edward
VII becomes the queen consort, was
born at Kensington palace, London,
May %, 1867.
Her parents were the duke and Ouch
ess of Teck, and she is descended on her
mothers side from English royal stock
and on her fathers side is direct de-
scendant from King George II.
Her mother was the daughter of
AdoIphus Frederick, duke of Cam
bridge, the Seventh son of George Ill,
whose father was Friedrich, prince Of
Wales, eldest son of George II and
Caroline of Anspach.
The title Teck comes from an old
castle near the Danube, indicating
the German strain in the family.
The early years of the new queens
life were, for the most part, unevent-
full. At the age of l6 or II, after be-
ing educated largely at home, She was
taken to Florence, where the entire
family remained about eighteen
months.
While in Italy Princess May became
much interested in Italian art and had
already uiycn evidence Of considerable

compiled, however, show that Is per-
cent of the farms in that State are
worked by their owners. This would
Indicate that there has been some
needless alarm, as New York stands
at the head of the fourteen leading
agricultural States in the percentage
of farms that are titled by their own
ers.
Other States that approach rather
closely to New Works record are;
Pennsylvania, "A per cent Ohio, Y
per cent: Indiana, Il per cent. The
percentage in Kentucky is placed at
81: in Illinois, 60 in Missouri, SO; in
Tennessee. 50; in North Carolina, %;
in texas 80. The lowest percentages
are in the states of Alabama, ~:
Georgia, 40, and Mississippi, 81.
1t will be observed that in the
wealthiest States of the Union the
farmers are sticking more closely to
their farms. There may be large
number of deserted farms in New York,
but so long as IS per cent Of the farm
owners are working their fields it is
safe to say there will be no decline in
production and no material deterlora-
ton on the large majority Of farms.
If the figures ran the other way there
would be serious cause of apprehen-
sion. because of the well-knOwn fact
that tenant farmers do not generally
take any pains to conserve the soil.
They are merely interested in getting
the best available crops in working
the land to the limit of its product
ivity. Sometimes there is new ten
ant every year. 1t is certain that there
must be deterioration in fertility un,
der such circumstances.
The figures for New York do not in
dictate that farm owners are turning
over there farms by wholesale to ten
ants. Maybe, after all, the situation
in the Empire State is not so bad as
it has been pictured in newspaper and
magazine articles. Elk.
