SUIT FILED TO TEST
NEW PAWNSHQP LAW
CherrydaIe Man Asks That the
Commissioners Be Made to
Issue Him a Permit.

A suit to test the validity of the new
law governing pawnshops was filed in
the District Supreme Court today ny
William n. Pender, Of Cherrydale, Va.
who asks the court to issue a writ Of
mandamus compelling the District Com
missioners to issue him a permit under
the old law, which. it is contended, l..
still in eeect.
Chief Justice Clabaugh, in Circuit
Court No. /. cited the Commissioners
to show cause why The prayers of the
petitioner should not be granted. The
rule is retUrnabIe on Friday.
1t is argued by Pender that the new
law, which went into effect February 4,
against non-residents, and
further, that il does not repeal the Old
law. Pender informs the court that he
applied for a license under the old law
on March to loan money at per cent
month, but the Commissioners re-
fused to give him the permit.
Attorneys Tucker. Kenyon. and Mac
farland and Z. s. Bailey represent the
plaintiff.

There was a hot time at the

night of Feb. 5. The giving of
home rule to st. Louis was dis
cussed AMI the evangelical al
lance sent a large delegation of
ministers end business men to
protest the passage of the So
called "hOme rule" law. 1t was
a warm hearing and those per-
sons having their names on the
church books were criticised
for standing for a wide open
town. Judge Robinson and
Rev. Panl Lynn were the princi-
pal speakers in opposition in
turing the Christian Sabbath Ov-
err to the breweries. Harry Halves
who it is understood is behind
the home rule" measure, came
from CT. Louis on a special
train to speak for it. Mr.. Warren,
editor Of the st. Louis Star in
opposing "home rule" made a
fatal mistake in his speech, and
was 'rightfully "called down"
by our acceptable state Senator,
Hon. Wallace Crossley. Mr.. War

The house went on record fav-
Oring the direct election of
United States Senators. There
was but one dissenting vote. To
our thinking this action was
correct, as we have always fav-
ored getting as close to the peo-
pie as possible, to say nothing Of
taking the selection of an United
Senator away from a clique or
eOml nation Of politicians. In
fact we believe the president
should be elected by direct vote,
and the giving him but one term
of six Yeas, Federal Judges also
should be elected by a vote of
the PEOPLE.
If the bill offered in the Sen
ate passes, nepotism will be a
thing Of the past. Under this
bill no relative of a member of a
public school board can be en-
ploytd as teacher or otherwise.
Emilently correct, to my think
ing.
IT, committee reported fav-
orably the bill to pay $166, 900
for 900 acres of land in Cam
den County for a state game
preserve. 1t should be defeated
when it comes up for passage.
Better give this $4,000 to the
schools AMI good roads.
The House is "dry" on roll
call by vote of 81 to Al, with
four "drys absent. This was
the vote by which the county
unit local option bill was order
ed to engrossment. Represen-
tativc Hay Of Galloway county
who introduced the measure, re-
ceivcd hearty commentator for
this great victory in behalf Of
the home and humanity. So the
breweries in the first battle
were almost annihilatcd. The
battle now goes to the Sen
and we predict a dry" victory
in which the slogan of 1910,
"Missouri's going dry" will be
verified at no distant day.
A bill taking away from county
cour,s the power to draw juries
and giving that power to cir
cult judges and clerks of the
state was overwhelmingly de-
feated in the House, The bill

There is much talk of repeating
of p%enitentiary convicts on con

tract. If it is not done a big
howl will come from the tax
payers Of the state when they
visit the county collector next
yea.
A hill increasing the price paid
sheriffs for feeding prisoners
from 80 to IS cents has been
introduced.
A bill introduced limits saloons

Representative Houx contin-
ues the central figure, not
only as regards good roads au-
thority, but on all legislation.
He IS at his post early and late
and is regarded as Speaker
Hull S standby on all important
legislation. Being in touch
with the situation, / am sure he
will return home with the hon
ors cf the Nth General Assembly
as regard legislation beneficial
to the tax payers of Lafayette
county and of the state. His
own bill putting all prosecuting
att yneys on a salary alone is
enough to accord him this de-
served distinction to say nothing
of his ''blue sky" fake adver-
Using and the public school
play ground park laws.
A bill has been agreed ON in
the submission of amendments
by the initiative and referendum.
Two changes only are made in
the present law. The first pro
videS that questions once voted
on and defeated shall not again
be submitted for five years I'M
less submitted by legislative
amendment. The second change
prevents the submission of any
amendment il any way affecting
the matter Of taxation. This
latter forever banishes the in
iquitous single tax, and is in
accordance with the reeommen-
dalton of Judge William H.
Wallace, Of Kansas City, through
whose effects the single tax
amendment at the last election
was overwhelmingly buried by
the voters.

torneys of the state on a sal

an unanimous vote. The bill
creating the office of district
attorney introduced in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Houx's bill was wise
ly withdrawn. The author tax
ing the sentiment of the House
as his index, saw no hope of his
bill receiving the least favorable
consideration. Mr.. Houx's bill
will become a law without OPP
position, and will save the tax
payers Of Missouri over $780,
900 annually. Pretty good
and Lafayette %county's represen-
tative is well deserving of the
many compliments paid him
