Proposed School Law.

Educators OF Missouri through their
state organization, The Missouri State
Teachers Association, are advocating
the adoption Of a Constitutional
amendment providing for school
mill tax for the support Of the public
schools, and state educational instit-
u,ionals. The campaign is in charge
Uel W. Lamkin. President Of the
Missouri State Teachers Association.
Petitions asking that the amend
ment be submitted to the voters were
filed from fifteen Of the sixteen con-
gressional districts.
The mill tax, il adopted, will make
it unnecessary for school executives to
lobby with members OF the legisla-
,ure for school appropriations. The
appropriations or tax will be a adefinite
fund out Of which the required
amount for school maintenance will
be taken. The various schools will
receive their allotted amount by the
Legislature dividing the tax fund.
II adopted the amendment will no.
provide q greater amount Of revenue
than the schools now receive but ].
will be definite and fixed. 1t is this

PAUL GREW MoRoSE.

There can be 10 doubt that Paul
being advised Of HE mothers change
toward him, OF her supposed desire TO
have him poisoned or destroyed in any
other convenient fashion, grew more
morose and suspicious as time went or,
and When, shortly before the sudden
death Of Catherine, he discovered that
she really intended TO pass him over
in favor Of his own son. Alelisander,
whom she worshipped, his fury know
no bounds. This revelation probably
snapped the last threads Of his reason,
for when his mother 6uccumbed to ar
apoplectic stroke the days OF Psurs
rule over Russia were those OF pure
dcrnentia.
The unfortunate man had indeed be-
come miserably irresponsible, but IT
appeared impossible TO put him under
restraint. and several conspiracies
failed, including that led by the Nea-
poltan- Spanish mongrel, Admiral Ri
has. who himself died before having the
10y of using rope or dagger upon a
wretched and defcnceless mailman;
nevertheless, his fellow conspirators
pursued their idea and, gathering
numbers as they went, found them
selves az last ready TO act on the cruel
March night when their black task was
finally accomplished.
Aicksander was staying at the 81.
Michael Palace with his father, but In
a wholly different portion of the build
ing. For he could not endure the
insane Cars loud and frequent raw
iugs Of bloodshed and murder. Many
saw him during that sojourn, when
Paul paced up and down, talking and
grumbling 80 himself, stink into cor
ncr and watch with almost hypnotized
eyes the disappearing and threatening
form shambling against the gold en-
broidered tapestries or bounding for
ward. 'knut" In hand, with farreaching.
demoniacal cries. Then. when nearly
fainting with disgust, the son and heir
would drag himself away, fortunately
unseen by the father, who had always
hated him. repeating over and over the
words, HE must be silenced. lie must
be silcnced."
