BRO. FUNK CONVERTED.

j. H. Funk, editor of the Republi-
can-Press of this city, has at last seen
the light, and in his issue of Jan. co.
copies the editorial entitled "Slim
Contributions" which appeared in
The Times on Jan. IL, and going fur
Their, agrees with The Times with
the following comment:
1--WE are forced to believe that
The Times is right when it says
the majority of the Republicans
of Bates county, realizing the
gross violation of the sanctity of
the ballot in the late election in
St. Louis, will refuse to be make
parties to the crime of lending
either financial or moral support
to the questionable cause of de-
Tending the results of thisfraud. "
Bro. Funk's new stand upon this
question is refreshing in the extreme,
and after reading the committee pre-
pared slush which is regularly ap-
pearing in the Republican organs
throughout the state, bemeoning the
lack of fairness displayed by the
Democrats in contesting this election,
is as delightful as breath of cool
air upon an August afternoon.
That his readers thoroughly agree
with him goes without saying. Their
attitude in the matter has been shown
by their lack of interest heretofore,
and we would Judge that this should
signify that no matter how the contest
is decided, Bates county Republicans
will have no comment to make, be-
lieving with Mr.. Funk that DEM
ocratic claims are just.
We would like to take Mr.. Funk'S
comments at their face value, as
coming from the pen of a staunch
Iowa Republican, but from the general
tone of his editorial we are little bit
leery of his politics. In this same
article he makes vicious attack upon
the Republicans who have applied for
positions under the state administra-
ton and in equally as strong language
goes after the postmasters in Bates
county, something unheard of by an
administration organ.
Shades of Joe Cannon! Can it be
that Bro. Funk has turned Democrat?

an order prohibiting the election COM
missioners of St. Louis from carrying
out same.
Section 6939 R. S. 1909 expressly
provides for the opening of the ballot
boxes, and directs in what manner
the ballots may be opened, counted,
compared with the list Of voters, and
examined, but in no instance do the
statutes authorize the report of "all
facts" which appear from a compari-
son of the ballots with the voting lists,
and the order, in which Col. Austin
claims the Court has reversed itself,
is made in accordance with this Sec
ton.
A comparison of the ballot with the
voting list is permitted by law for one
purpose only; that of determining
whether or not the person casting
such ballot was a qualified elector,
and whether the vote was legally cast
and recorded, and this in no manner
violates the secrecy of the ballot.

Mrs. Silas Maxey Dead.

Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Maxey, aged
66 years, departed this life at her
home in Johnstown, Friday night
January 20, 1911, after only short
illness.
Sarah Elizabeth Nickel was born in
Morgan county, Kentucky, July 80,
1845, where she was reared to young
womanhood She was united in mar
riage to Silas Waldeck Maxey in 1870,
and their union was blessed by seven
children.
Ten years later they moved to Mis-
souri,, locating in Bates county where
they have since resided.
She is survived by her husband and
five children, H. o. Maxey of this
city, R. N. Maxey, of Kansas City, j.
C. Maxey, Waldeck Maxey and Mrs.
S. W. Gilliland, of Johnstown, Mo.
Funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Bunch of Montrose, were held
at the Christian church at Johnstown,
Sunday morning, January %, 1911,
at 10 o'clock, and interment was
made in the Johnstown cemetery.
Mrs. Maxey was lady of beautiful
character, whose pathway through
life was bestrewn with the lovely
flowers of love and respect of all
who knew her, and a multitude of
friends join the bereaved family, IN
mourning their loss.

NOT A REVERSAL.

The Bates County Record in its lat
est issue makes the unwarranted as
sertion that the Supreme Court of
Missouri has reversed itself in order
ing Judge R. E. Culver, the Commits
sioner appointed for the purpose of
taking testimony in the contests
on the Supreme Judgeships, ito
open, compare and examine the bal
lots which were cast at the last gen.
eral election.
Certainly Col. Austin has failed to
look into the Folk case, tie decision
which he claims has been revers-
ed. In this case an order was made
by circuit Judge in st. Louis direct
ing the ballots opened and compared
with the voting list and report made
of "all facts which appear from the
ballots and the comparison with the
voting list" Clearly such an order,
if sustained, would violate the secrecy
of the ballot inasmuch as the latitude
given therein would allow interested
parties tolearn exactly how each cleo
tor voted, and because Of this the
Supreme Court very properly issued

RATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS
By Supt P. NJ. Allison.

By supt P. NJ. Allison.
The first school visited this week
was Double Branch, in Pleasant Gap
township. They have light attend
ance due to sickness as most Of the
schools have. The pupils did we'll on
the test given and are going to try in
the spelling contest for us, and / am
sure they will do we'll, as they are all
good workers. Miss Jessie Burch is
teacher and is satisfying all concern
ed.
Over at Scifers they are always
ready for work, and they will try the
spelling contest, too. This school
house has been painted inside and
looks much better as result. This
school will have some graduates.
Miss Opal Herford is teacher and has
her work we'll organized and is doing
them good work.
Happy Hill is doing we'll as usual,
and they are keeping up their record
on department They are going to
try the spelling contest also, and l am
anxious to know which of the above
schools do the best, but l am sure
Happy Hill will make it interesting
for them, and l believe that Double
Branch and Scifers will make them
work. This school is adding to their
library and need library case. Miss
Stella Harshaw is teacher and is do
ing them fine work, and her patrons
appreciate her efforts.
Seelinger is moving along very
nicely with Miss Loe Reese as teach
er. They were taking an examina-
ton, and while they could not an
swer all the questions, they were
doing very well. This is one of our
small schools in number but one of
the best in work. They are willing
workers and the great trouble is their
term is not long enough to give them
a good opportunity.
Papinville is moving along well as
usual, but they like. some others are
having quite time with colds. These
pupils did well on the spelling con-
test and are willing workers. Miss
Mary Davis, of Rich Hill, is teacher
as is proving herself one of our best.
Prairie City has a light attendance
on account of colds, but those in at
tendance are making good progress.
Bertha Fix was left some special
word in arithmetic, and we are pleas
ed to say that it has been attended to
and is in good form. This school
could work better, if they had a jack
ct around the store, and l am quite
sure the board will attend to this, for
they are Of the progressive class.
