Superintendent Must Give Approval

According to an opinion given to
Supt. Mrs. Preston Dy j. I. S.
Lyle, assistant attorney general,
county school superintendent has
no right to refuse to approve of a
contract between a school district
and teacher, when the superintend-
ent suspects that the teacher has
been guilty of an offense that justi-
fies the revocation of the certificate
held by the teacher. So long as
there are no charges against the
teacher the superintendent has only
to pass upon the form Of the con-
tract, says the opinion.

To Prohibit Killing Of Calves

The National Chamber of Com
merce is preparing bill to be in
PRODUCED in congress prohibiting
the killing of calves SO as to de-
crease the danger of serious meat
shortage. This is a very sane and
practical measure and one required
by the exigencies of the present
time. With our population rapid
~ increasing and our meat supply
on the decrease the most effective
means possible to remedy this con-
dition is legislation to protect the
younger stock.
When the bill is introduced i'm
nent physicians throughout the
country will be asked to testify as
to the unwholsomeness of veal as
food. and their testimony will be
submitted to congress when the
crusade is launched.
Argentina. the chamber points
out has law which prohibits killing
of a male beef animal until it is
three years old and a female until it
has reached six years. Leaders in
the movement contend that the
slaughter Of calves in the United
States has not only raised the price
of meats. but is threatening it's
standing as a meat producing coun-
try.
The National Chamber of Com
merce will have the support, mot only
of the packers, but of the entire
grocery and meat trade as we'll.
That the situation is serious is
acknowledged by everyone in the
trade and by number of members
OF congress who are seeking to low er
its cost by having it put on the free
list. The most ardent advocate of
free meat in the senate is Senator
Ollie James. of Kentucky who took
vigorous stand stand in the senate
finance committee against the i'm
position of a countervailing duty on
meat and cattle and announced he
would carry the fight to the DEM
ocratic senatorial caucus if he failed
to swing the committee into line.
i am for free cate and meat and
shall go to the limit t. get it, said
Senator James, when his attitude
before the committee became known
Because some countries lew
tax on the imports of the American
beef trust, why should we in retalia-
ton. starve the people of the United
States? / favored free meat and
free cattle in the campaign last fall
and intend to do all can to nut
them in the tariff law"

known Mexican close to the admins
tration. Cen. Trevino is making his
way to the capital, and little effort

that he has been officially summoned.
There are persistent rumors of i'm
pending changes in the cabinet. and
II is said that Gen. Trevino is to
be made minister Of foreign relations
in order legally to succeed to the
presidency. He was reported to be

Unions TO Air Capital Job.

Jefferson City.-A delegation of I'M
ion labor leaders, headed by David
Kreyling, secretary of the Central
Trades and Labor union of St. Louis,
was here to investigate the labor en-
ployed in constructing the foundation
for the new state house. Union labor
representatives complain that much
OF the labor so far employed is not or
eanized and they allege that they
were given assurances that none but
union labor would be employed. Near
ly 800 men are employed by Johnson
g. Son.. who are building the founda-
ton, and many of these are farmers,
who, because of the drouth, have
brought their teams to town to make
money to tide over the winter. Natur-
ally they are not unioniZed and never
gave the matter of organization a
thought. There is no complaint as to
the wages paid and has been none.

Circus Hurt by the Heat.

Jefferson City.-Executive officers
of the Barnum G Bailey circus, which
exhibited in Jefferson City, declare
that the drouth is affecting the show
business and is materially cutting the
attendance. I'VE have only been in
the dry belt short time" said one
of the managers, but even in that
short time we have found how hurt
full unfavorable crop conditions are to
the circus business. Farmers and
country people generally don't seem
to be in the show-going mood when
their fields are burning up and stock
water is a problem. In some of the
places we have been in Missouri wa
ter sufficient for our people and stock
has been difficult to obtain and the
other troubles and vexations incident
to moving and handling a big circus
pale into insignifcance when con-
trasted with this. We we're sure glad
to see the Missouri river when we
struck Jefferson City, for that meant
abundance of water for a thirsty
crowd of men and beasts"
