At first Lincoln could not press this
principle too far. lie must first oil

legally abolished from the land.
From that day the tide began TO set

At Cairo Baptist church last even

from 2 Cor 3-17: Where the spirit Of
the Lord is there is Liberty" He
said Liberty had it's birth at the com

hand with the progress of the story
of the cross He spoke of Soul-Lib'
erty as the liberty to Worship God
according to conscience which he de-
Iclared was a distinctive principle of
Baptists. He referred to several
great historic events which demon
strated the relation between liberty
and civilization, notably the struggle
between the English parliament and
Charles I, the former representing
all that was naughty and cruel in
despatism Of kings the latter, com
posed of the land owners, claiming
that the people were free to have a

the secret of it, The empty dinner

". B. DAWSON,

Our present efficient and popular
Prosecuting Attorney, is asking re-
nomination and election to that office
at the hands of the people he has
served so faithfully and well. Mr..
Dawson's conduct of that office has
been unassailable. He has prosecuted
violators of the law fearlessly and
ably, always on a high plain as be-
came the dignity of his office. He has
never permitted the office to be made
an instrument for revenge and spite
work Of designing persons, and has
always regarded his duties as pro-
secutor of law-breakers instead of
prosecutor of the unfortunate. He is
a Bates county boy of strong family
connection, good lawyer, a loyal
and active Democrat and a clever,
courteous gentleman. His nomination
would add strength to the ticket.

industry and frugality. He has al
ways taken an active interest in the
success of the Democratic party, and
this is the first time he ever asked
for county office. He is thoroughly
trustworthy. fully competent to per-
form the duties of the office and

LLOYD Has Substitute Bill.

Washington. D, c., June 6.-Rep-
resentative James 7, Lloyd, of Mis-
souri,, with his Democratic colleagues
on the House Committee on Post Of
fices and Post Roads, completed a
substitute bill for the Republican
postal savings bank bill, to be report
ed in the House tomorrow.
The minority measure will be in ac-
cordance with the platform of the
Democratic party adopted at the Den
yer convention. Mr.. Lloyd said the
Democratic substitute will be superior
TO the bill OF the Republicans, be-
cause it will contain provisions to
keep the money a, home.
1t will be ironciad in providing that
the money be deposited in banks in
the towns where the original deposit
is made at the Post Office.
The Republican leaders in the
House believe now that the way is
smooth for the passage of the postal
savings bank bill. With the report
ing of the bill rule will be brought
in, agreed TO by both regular and in
surgent Republicans, which will give
eight hours of debate on either side,
and which will prevent the amending
of the measure.
BY this rule the privilege of pres
enting substitute will be allowed
Democrats. The Senate leaders are
planning to accept the House bill as it
passes without amendment.

Butler Merchants Up-tO-Date.
Rich Hill Review.

Rich Hill Review.
Butler merchants have advertised
in the past few years as never before
in the history of that town. They
evidently believe that it pays. In last
weeks Times are three full-page ads
and two other large ones almost full
page in size, besides the regulation
advertising. Many merchants be-
lieve that when the times are dull it
does not pay to advertise. But that
is grave mistake. 1t is at such
times that the heaviest advertising
should be done in the newspapers.
When times are flush and people are
ready to buy anyway, the merchants
window displays are good advertise
ments in themselves. In the dull
season a bargain looks bigger to the
head of a family or the housewife
than at any other time, and then is
when the dealer should name his
lowest possible prices in the newspa-
pers. The history of the business
world shows that proper advertising
always pays.
"Jack the PEPPER is proving
around in Rich Hill at night and has
been caught looking in the windows
of several residences. The Review
says: "This peeping, intruding bust,
ness has been going on in the East
End for a long time past, presumably
by one and the same person, and will
doubtless continue las repeated warn
ings have been given by those thus
annoyed without effect until new
mound makes its appearance in Greer
Lawn Cemetery, for it is common
knowledge in the East End that al
kinds of fire arms have been cleaned
and primed, and are being held il
readiness for such a time as this Wis
itor decides to call and scare the lifs
out of the women folks and chill
dren."

Senator Aldrich finds by stating
that the Republican administration
squanders $500, 600, 900 ofthepeople's
money annually, he has placed in the

regrets being so candid and truthful
when momentarily off his guard. If

with the truth, he would simply
solemnly swear that he never said it,
and let it 90 at that.

THE RIP. WRONG AGAIN.

The Republican Press, forced by
The Times to change its tacticssin its
frantic efforts to put the financial
condition of Bates county into a false
light, has desisted from its contention
that Bates county is now $4,000 in
debt, and in the issue of June 8, de-
liberately stoops to make a most pal
pable Misrepresentation in regard to
the Bates County Blue Book" and
makes the following assertion: -
1--WE respectfully refer The Times
to page Is of the Blue Book issue in
Feb. 1910, showing the liabilities OF
Bates county Jan. 81, 1910. This
book was issued by County Clerk,
C. G. Weeks and certainly is good
Democratic authority on the county
finances. Under the head of Lila
bilities" there is a little item reading
as follows: Estimated interest due
on protested warrants $1,000"
This is a deliberate mis-statement,
and does an injustice not only to
the gentlemen in charge Of Bates
county's affairs, but to the citizens
and property owners as well.
The Bates County Blue Book"
does not show the liabilities Of the
county January 81, 1910" on page
IS, as alleged by Bro. Funk, but it
does show statement Of the liabili-
ties on January 81, 1909, difference
Of exactly a year existing between
the facts as they appear on the rec
ords Of the county, and Mr.. Funk's
assertion.
An attempt to thus deceive the pub
Lie win certainly revert back onto Mr..
.Funk's own head, as the BATES
County Blue Book" has been SC
widely circulated that almost every
family in the county Is in possession
Of q copy, and anyone, by referring e
the page designated BY the Republi'
can Press, may see whore atpubh

Since you are interested in what
ever concerns the welfare of the But
Ter High School, take advantage of
the opportunity to make the following
suggestions.
A new building is needed. The
committee is glad to know that the
Commercial Club has taken up the
matter and that the probabilities of a
new school building are good.
In the new building, as you, OF
course, will understand, there should
be a study hall. AT present the eff
cheney of the work in the High School
is impaired by the fact that the stu
dents have to study in room while
there are others reciting. This dis
tracts both students and teacher. The
present building cannot be changed
with advantage so as to provide for a
study hall and also for room for the
class work.
AS YOU also understand, better
teachers are needed for the work in
History and English. The committee
is pleased to note that the work in
these subjects will be improved next
year by a change Of teachers. and
consequently makes no change in
credit on account of inferior work
during this year. Finally, | might
mention the fact that the closets
should be kept in better condition and
that the plastering appears to be un.
safe in the Latin room and should be
repaired. These suggestions are
made only in the spirit of helpful.
ness, and we are sure that you will
receive them in the spirit in which
they are given.

promoting the educational interests o
