Public School Opens Monday.

The Public Schools will open next
Monday. September 18th. The
school building will be in the most
convenient and sanitary condition
in which in which it has ever been.
The new manual training room and
the new auditorium are great i'm
provements. These rooms must be
seen to be appreciated. You are
also invited, if you are a believer in
education, to make the school year
about to open a year of personal
interest to you.
Parents, please do not purchase
new books until your children have
been instructed by the teachers as
to what books they will need. The
first day is always the best day for
a pupil to start in school.
The school year now about to
open will be a banner year. If you
have not yet caught the spirit of
progress in education. now is the
time to get into line. We need you.

Wanted "A Court House.

Wanted "A Court House.
Monroe County is badly in need
of a Court house. There is no
denying this fact.
The present excuse was built in
the year 1869 and has served its
purpose. 1t is inconvenient. Its
walls are cracked. The floors are
uneven and worn out. The roof
leaks. The whole building has sage-
ed until the doors can scarcely be
opened or closed. It is a firetrap
without fireprOOf vaults capable of
protecting the records and valuable
papers stored therein.
A fire would entail a loss to the
county far greater than the cost of
a new. modern building.
Monroe COunny is big enough and
rich enough to afford a Court house
in keeping with her standing as one
of the best counties in the great
state of Missouri.
Let us profit by the lesson taught
by the fire at Jefferson City, and
provide a place for safe keeping for
our records and other Valuables be-
fore it is too late.
This paper is for a new and mod
ern building from the ground up.
Do not spend one dollar on the old
building. 1t would be money
thrown away. Use material in it
as it is available, but erect a mod
ern building, one that will be a
credit to Monroe County,
We believe that Paris is the
proper location because it is central
and convenient to the greatest
number who have business at the
Court house.
The tax would not be a burden
on any one. Twenty or thirty year
bonds for a $4,000 or $4,000
house would not be more than five
to seven cents on the one hundred
dollars.
We have talked with a number
from this and other parts of the
CObnty and all are of the opinion
that Monroe county ought not to
carry the risk that she is carrying
any longer and would like to have
the matter submitted to the voters
at an early date.

From The Paris Appeal Of June 9th
Petitions for the submission of a
proposition to bond Monroe county
for 100000 for a new court house
are being circulated in several
townships. The agitation started
at Monroe City last month, the
Democrat and News both coming
out with strong editorials, which
were widely copied and generally
endorsed, in favor of a building
that would furnish protection for
the county's priceless records and
impress strangers with the fact
that our people are more liberal and
enterprising than the present dilapi-
dated old institution would indi-

SUIT FILED AGAINST
SEC'Y OF INTERIOR
TO COMPEL HIM TC PLACE MEN,
sERS OF CHEROKEE TRIBE UP-
ON THE ROLLS FOR RIGHTS.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. Suit
was filed today in the supreme court
OF the District of Columbia against
Walter l.. Fisher as secretary OF the
inferior to compel him to place upon
the rolls OF the Cherokee tribe Of
Indians and TO grant rights in the
lands and funds of the Cherokee tribe
Of Indians TO Cordelia Lane.
Lula Z. Freeland, William A. Free
land, Martha c. Freeland, Ida l..
Freeland, Delai A. Freelan dand Clark
Lane. The suit, which was filed by
Happier and Merillat and James X.
Jones Of Washington, d. c., in con
junction with Apple < Franklin OF
Ardmore, Okla, alleges that the Free.
lands are Cherokee Indians by blood
and that they originally applied in
behalf of the husband of Cordelia
Freeland. but were denied enrolment
by the Dawes Commission in 1896 on
the ground that the husband was not
clearly shown to have been a Cher
okee Indian, the Commission at the
same time deciding tnat the. mother
of COrdelia F'reeland was a North
Carolina Cherokee and that had the
petition been filed in her right the
parties suing clearly would have been
entitled to enrolment. Subsequently,
/ the Freelands made application in be-
/ half of their mother and after con
/ test decision in their favor was
/ rendered by the assistant attorney
general and they were ordered in
/ the latter part of 1906 to be placed
on the rolls of the Cherokee nation.
/ Rolls containing their names were
prepared and forwarded 20 Washing
/ ton for their approval. Meanwhile At
torney General Bonaparte had rem
dered a decision holding that deci
SiOns unappealed from the Dawes
Commission were final. and barred
the rights of parties from further
consideration. Under this decision and
without giving the Freelands an Op.

TOOK ISSUE WITH LABOR.

State Senator Chas b. Kendrick IN
his speech TO the laboring people yes
terday did not mince words. The
speaker declared himself on 4 num-
Der of propositions whether they were
in unison with the labor demands or
not. The people generally We're pleas
ed with the speech and he won the
admiration OF those who hold oppo-
site opinions 20 his own for the
reason that Labor Day orators arc
generally radical and hand out from
the speakers platform what they
think the labor unions stand for,
whether the speaker believes in
those principles or not.
Senator Kendrick gave expression
TO his own honest ideas and opin-
ions.
Tho senator took the position that
no labor strike had ever resulted in
any good and proved his assertion
with number OF examples pointed
to in history from the Bible down tC
within few years OF this date. The
printers will hardly agree with the
senator for the reason that they
fought FOR years for the eight hou;
Law, they spent millions of dollars
TO bring about the eight hour labor
dav. II the union had not had vast
fund when the strike was called they
could never have been successful
Printers everywhere gave up zen PEI
cent of their earning to carry on
the fight. After four Years the battl,
was won. The eight hour law has
come to stay and to accomplish that
one thing was certainly great vie
tory for labor.
II labor did not use its prerogativt
TO strike il would never he able
10 enforce its demands, while these
strikes cause suffering and loss OF
money at the time. from the stand
point Of the laborer there mas neeu
good results.
Organized labor uses its organiza-
tion as a force to combat with the
force the manufacturer has by rels-
