Secretary of State Frear and Cover
mar McGovern have authorized a loan
of 100000 from the general fund to
the university fund to tide the institu-
ton over until tax time. The univer-

The next big pull on the general
fund will be the payment of $500 and
mileage each to 100 assemblymen and
33 senators, but the 100000 left will
easily meet that and current expenses.

The Commercial Club Scores
" Again. a..

Col. S. w. Dooley the secretary of
the Commercial Club received the
following communication on Monday
last.
bryant, NO., Nov. Is, 191l.-
Result: St. Louis %, Kansas City "a
st. Joseph 9, Centralia 10, Butler 20.
Congratulations, M. L. Andrews,
Election Comr." ';:r
~ This means that Butler won over
these competitors for the annual
meeting of the Missouri branch of
the American Poultry Association. 1t
took quick work to secure this. The
matter was brought up before the
board Nov. 9 last, by the secretary at
a meeting at which we were present.
The board took the matter up and
plan was agreed upon and left to the
secretary to carryout. The voting was
to be done in few days, by the rep
resentatives of the various poultry
associations mailing their votes to the
election commissioners, previously
appointed for that purpose. 1t was
quick action to get out circular letters
to these parties, about 1856 or 1870 in
number, get them off and solicit their
vote for our city as the meeting place.
The result speaks for itself. This
meeting will be held at the same time,
January rs, when the State Poultry
Show and Institute will be held here,
which the Commercial Club secured
for this city last spring. The Club
has considered many things and
projects in its short existence and has
never gone after anything but with
success. II shows the benefit of or
ganized effort. Every man in the
city should belong to the Club and
contribute his Soc month to its ef-
forts as well as his moral support
The directors separate themselves
from. their families and pleasures
night after night to work for the good
OF the town and they should have the
financial and moral support Of all citi-
zens who have any civic pride to boast
of or welfare of the city at heart.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

ent of The Times.

~ Ciyd. II Tavenuer.
Washington, D. Chat Morgan,
Rockefeller and other trust magnates
consider themselves too sacred to be
prosecuted for violating the law has
been known for some time.
that they consider themselves
too sacred to even be investigated
was not known until the Stanley in
vestigating committee was politely
asked by the steel trust attorneys to
please abandon its inquiry because of
the Wickersham suit to dissolve the
trust
Should this request be gratified it
would mean that the Wickersham
suit is a God send to the trust, mas
nlfch as it sidetracks an honest and
searching investigation Of a monopoly
that Attorney General Wickersham
himself claims to be illegal. That the
trust fears a continuation of the in
vestiQation by committee that is not
packed with special interest servers,
more than it does a "suit to dissolve"
conducted by an attorney general
who was former trust attorney, has
been known for some time.
Thanks to Democratic majority on
he Stanley investigating committee,
the investigation will proceed. But
wishing to be entirely fair to all con-
cerned, the committee has discon-
tnued public hearings until a full
committe can pass on the proposition.

Although the regular or standpat

ROCK ROAD TO ARKANSAS
Kansas City and Joplin will be Connect
49, ed by a New Highway.

Joplin, Mo-, Nov. 27.-After few
weeks work soliciting members and
communicating with adjoining coun-
ties, the executive committee of the
Western Good Roads Association has
announced the route of the proposed
highway from Kansas City through
Jasper county to the Arkansas state
line. Almost as straight as crow
flies, the routing of the road indicates
one OF shortest routes between the
point named in the itinerary.
That the road will be constructed is
certain. Members of the committee
have visited every city, town and
country village along the route
through the counties included in the
pike at every point they have met
the greatest encouragement At
Kansas City and Joplin perhaps the
greatest number Of good roads enthu-
siasts have been recruited, but all
along the line there are energetic
workers, anxious to aid in the move
for state pike.
Throughout Jackson county good
roads now exist. The same condi-
ton is prevalent in Jasper and New
ton counties. Connecting links are
practically all that is needed in the
remainder of the counties and vet it
is these links that must be built ere
the pike is Of any value.
The Western Missouri Good Roads
Association was organized at a quail
banquet in Joplin some weeks ago.
but its start was made through COM
munications between road enthusiast
tics OF Jackson and Jasper counties
and it is to these two counties that
the great brunt of the labor must fall.
Half way between Kansas City and
Joplin is hunting club, whose menu
bers are residents Of Joplin and Kan
sas City, and it was suggestion from
. member Of this club, perhaps, that
first started the project. Now, the
seeds OF road Improvement have been
80 thickly sown in Missouri that any
proposition for road betterment Is
the topic of the day.
