The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1912-05-09

W. T. LaFollette of Sloan Springs,
Ark, arrived in the city Thursday
for the purpose of erecting monu-
ment at the grave Of his deceased
wife and daughter and notwithstand-
ing the rain and unfavorable weather
he finished the work and departed
for home Saturday. The monument
is indeed a credit to our cemetery, as
it has no equal in this section of the
State. The prominent figure is that
of a woman, life size, draped in Gre
clan raiment, with hand extended,
dropping flower on the grave be-
low. This piece is work of art and
was carved from white Italian marble
in Italy and shipped direct to Apple
tor City. The entire monument,
which is composed Of granite and
marble, stands ten feet in height.
The lady in whose memory this beau
tiful monument has been erected was
a former Appleton City young lady
and daughter of C. o. Hedrick. The
little daughter referred to in the
above and who sleeps by the side of
her mother, died the past year.-Ap-
pleton City Journal.

Farmers, Attention!

The Missouri Farmer is opposed tc
the adoption of the Single Tax Amend.
ment which is to be voted upon in
November, and which, if adopted,
would throw practically the entire
burden Of taxation upon land owners.
Never in the history Of Missouri has
measure been proposed which so
vitality affects the interests of the farm
err as this one and it therefore be-
hooves every land owner to inform
himself in this matter as speedily as
possible. In the May issue Of the Mis-
souri, Farmer Geo. B. Ellis, the editor,
takes up the proposed amendment
and shows how unfair its passage
would be to the farmers of this state.
Mr.. Ellis is the Ex-Secretary of the
Missouri State Board Of Agriculture
and there are few men of sounder
judgment anywhere upon matters
which concern the farmer.
The subscription price of The Mis-
souri, Farmer is Soc per year and by
subscribing now you will be kept in
close touch with the discussion of the
above question. This splendid paper
comes from the home of Missouri's
great Agricultural College and one of
its objects is to keep the farmers of
the state in close touch with this in
stitution. 1t is the highest class farm
and stock paper Missouri ever had
and should be in every farm home in
the state. The Missouri Farmer,

An Fasteners View

In talking with an eastern farmer
this week, who has been travelling
over the county for the past three
months informed the reporter for the
Gazette that he has motto nd place
in all his travels that will come up
with this country called the Potlatch.
He says the crops raised here
and the prospects for fruit can not
be equaled any where in the great
northwest. 1t is his opinion that
just as soon as the farmers of this
vicinity cuts the larger tract of land
into smaller farms and 60 to more
diversified farming that it will not be
long until this country will have
twice the population and will be
better for the farmers as we'll as the
towns in this district.

The road from the Bear creek

road and figuring out the best way
to do the work and on their return
it was reported that work would be-
gin on the road just as soon as
in was possible to employ an over
seer and teams and men. 1t will take
considerable work to put this road in
good condition but it will be done.
The road will be built and graded

7 to 2

Sunday was a beautiful day in
Kendrick and the Charleston ball team
visited here and came in with all the
pomp and glory of any bunch of
American ball players could come.
The game for few innings was fast
and furious and looked as though it
would be shut outs on both sides for
complete game. But no the home
team broke the spell and rung in one
score and broke the hodoo on the
game and from then on our team
played ball too fast for the visitors.
The score at the wind mp was seven
to two in favor of Kendrick of course.

Dogs Should Go

This town is full of worthless dogs
that roam the streets and also are
into peoples yards carrying off things
at night. This is no dream it should
be stopped and every dog that has
not a tag on it, dispose of. This town
has an ordnance taking care of the
animal and it is the opinion of the
citizens that it should be enforced
by the proper officials.

Resurrected

One of the most surprising things
of the ages occurred in this city this
week while the street crew were
working on the streets. They had
graded three blocks of main street
and started in on the fourth when
they found it impossible to plow and
upon investigating they found out
hat this block had been paved so
ong ago that the residents had for
gotten it. 1t took a couple of days
20 get the dirt off so they could
show up the pavement.

MOTHER AND TWO
SMALL SONS DROWN
Little Sister Sees Mother and Two Bro
theirs Drown and Cannot Aid
Them.

The saddest news that has reached
the city of Kendrick in some time
was when it was reported here Sun
day afternoon that Mrs Minnie Tup-
per and two sons. Otto and James,
had drowned at their home near
Camern. The boys were, as it
appears from what can be learned
taking a bath and the older of the
boys, Otto, went into the water and
became stricken with cramps and the
younger boy called the mother and
in her hurry to help the drownding
boy took the rope from the well with
the bucket attached, running to the
waters edge cast the bucket out for
the boy to catch and from appear
ences the woman became overbal-
anced and fell into the water, then
the younger boy seeing his mother
go down must have went into the
water to try to save her and was
overpowered and all three drowned
together. The little sister age about
nine years, was there, but was unable
help them and after they had
sunk, went about a half of a mile to
to tell the neighbors. The truth of
the accident will probably never be
known as the little sister was the
only witness and in her excitement
she hardly knows just how it did
happen.
The funeral was held at Cameron
in the Lutheran church Tuesday
afternoon, the services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Riggs, of Kendrick.
A large crowd of people from differ
ent points were present. The
remains of the mother and two sons
were laid to rest in the cemetery al
Cameron, side by side. The two
boys had just graduated from the
Kendrick schools, one from the
tenth and the other from the eighth
grade and were well known here
The brother, Warren who wa:
attending school in Oregon and th'
little sister are the only survivors o1
the family as the father died abou
a year ago. These two childrel
have the sincere sympathy of thu
entire country.

He Will Rule.

1t is already apparent the sort of
President that Woodrow Wilson will
be. He will rule his party. And the
country will incline, in the main, to
support him in this attitude. Expert
ence proves that it likes dominat-
ing character even if he is sometimes
called "boss," or may in this in
stance be twitted as school mas
ter"
We are weak as government in our
lack of conference between the execu-
tive and legislative branches. For best
results our legislative and executive
branches should pull unitedly. The
only way that this structural defect
in our own constitutional system can
be corrected, apart from an unattain-
able amendment of our organic law, is
by having a dominating personality in
the White House. It has been made
amply evident by every act of Wood
row Wilson since he came into public
life that he is to be the dominating,
or school mastery type. His state
ment yesterday on New Jersey poll
tics was extremely significant. He
does not purpose even now to take a
back seat in a single state. He will
let no one creap into his vacant chair,
except on his own invitation. OF any
Democrat who does not sympathize
with his progressive" politics, which
means, Of course, with his own poll
cies, he is intolerant. And everybody
knows what this means.-Boston Her

PRESS CO
ON WILSON 5 fAEK.


The country as wen as the Demo
cratic party ought to thank God for
Woodrow Wilson and take fresh hope
and courage for the future. The fur
Their we go with him the better he
grows. The 'gibbet of public disgrace
as high as Hanan's" is a disagreeable
object to contemplate, but we know
that the governor has had some ex-
perience in building that sort of punt
tive structure and that as a political
executioner he has a formidable dex-
terity. What he has done in New Jer-
sey to Senator Smith and his machine
he now avows himself ready to do to
people of the same breed in a wider
field, and we imagine that no man will
b so dull as to think that he does not
mean what he says.
There is no personal threat, no sug-
gestion of political terrorism, in Gov
ernor Wilson's utterances. He simply
serves notice in unmistakable terms
that he is going to carry out the will
of the people as expressed at the polls,
and that those who oppose that will,
or seek to render it ineffective, wheth-
er in the money centers or in Con-
gress, will have to reckon with popu-
lar indignation and retribution. And
this warning does not signify that Mr..
Wilson as president will content him
self with blistering messages to Con-
gress. He will apply the blister where
it will hurt most and do the most good
He has served a valuable apprentice
ship in New Jersey at this sort of per-
sonal treatment, and the recalcitrant
in Congress who seeks to halt the on
ward march, or the trouble makers in
Wall street, who attempt to throw
dynamite on the track of progress, are
apt to get worse hurt than anybody
else. This speech is virtually a repe-
tition of the old, familiar suggestion,
Don't monkey with the buzzsaw -

Knows What He Talks OF.


There will be cheers in both politi-
cal camps for the declaration of Wood
row Wilson in his speech before the
Southern Society of New York last
night, the gist of which was that he
means to keep his eyes upon all or
sundry individuals or organizations
who attempt arbitrarily to create a
panic in the United States during his
administration.
The President-elect realizes fully
that there is such thing as an in
evitable panic-or at least panic
based upon conditions from which
stringencies in the world of trade may
be expected to follow.
But he knows also that there is the
wholly arbitrary panic, brought about
by INSCRIPTIONS men for their private
gain, or for the purpose of discredit-
ing those who disagree with them in
matters of public policy. The made
to-order panic has been among the
most sinister crimes of the past. The
President-elect talks soberly and sci
entifically when he touches the fact
that the machinery by which a panic
can be created is always in existence.
