The mayor said that in case the

Mr.. Love told the mayor that he was
looking at the question rather in the
light Of his own political future than
in the light of the real issue, and he
told him that his skirts would be
clear If he enforced the law as it was
written on the books and that was
all the committee was asking.
The mayor did not give a definite
answer, but asked time to consider.
A committee member said yesterday
that 1t was not the intention to single
out the drug stores, but they were men,
toned as the most fragrant violators
OF the law. He says that several con.
ferences were held with the druggists
for the purpose of requesting them to
conform to the law; simply that, moth

was reached whereby the druggists
agreed to cut out their unlawful Sun.

gists went to the mayor and told him
of the agreement and asked him for
the enforcement of the ordinance to
such an extent as to render it exceed
ingly unpopular. The committee. this
member says, has never asked for but
one thing, and that was the enforce.
ment of the law.
The committee will leave the inter.
probation of the law entirely in the
hands of the city officials and will
make no recommendations as to what
shall be closed and what shall be left
open on Sunday.
The druggists have prepared the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the
matter:

OF the various churches demanding that

their petition had S5l names attached.
At the same time they filed a petit

upon the legality Of the census of

The "wets" objected to the juris-
diction of the County Court as a hear

Afer an all-day argument by the
attorneys Of each side, the court took
the matter Of jurisdiction under ad-
visemcnt and asked that the attorneys
for each side submit authorities, and
adjourned to Tuesday, and on Tues

is Cornelius Roach, Missouri's able
and efficient Secretary OF State. He
was born and reared on 4 farm. Dur
ing his early business activities he di-
vded his time as farmer and teach
er, farming in the spring and sum-
mer and teaching in the fall and win
ter. His elementary education was
obtained in common schools, and his
graduation was from the university
of "Hustle or Staryc." In 1889 he
engaged in the job and newspaper
publishing business at Carthage, Mo-,
in which city he bought the Jaspe"
County Democrat, a daily and weekly
publication. This paper he continued
to own and edit until 1909, the year
he assumed the duties NJ Secretary Of
State, to which Office ne was elected
in 1908. He sold his publishing bust
ness to his brother, Eugene b. Roach,

Lizzie Major, wife of William Major,
a miner employed by the st. Joseph
Lead Company, drank carboic acid
and in less than ore hour died in
great agony.
1t is not known just the exact cause
of the rash deed But it has seemed
that Mrs. Major has not been in the
very best state Of MIND for several
days. DR.. English, the County Cor

the thousands upon thousands Of ac-
quaintances, but he familiarized him
self with the civil and industrial af-
fairs of Missouri. He studied the
State Government at close range in
all phases, and in all its relations. As
n result he had a more intimate and
comprehensive knowledge of Missou-
ri's business affairs and institutions
than any other citizen is universally
conceded.
In 1912 he was unanimously renomi-
mated for his second term as Secre-
tary of State, and was reelected by
a majority that paralleled the head
Of the ticket. His administration Of
the affairs of the Office he has the
honor to hold has given universal sat

a big, strong, live bunch Of public
spirited men chat attended the SOm-
mercial Club banquet at the CONNER
cial Hotel in Bonne Terre, the night
of Monday, April 20. They were
there for business, and business is
what was transacted. -
Methods of developing the now
practically dormant agricultural re-
sources of the districts around Bonne
Terre were discussed. A committee
was appointed to put some sort Of
colonizing proposition before the lead
companies whereby inducements could
be offered to get farmers, truck gar
deners, dairymen, poultrymen and
ffuitmen to settle in this, the heart Of
one of the best markets for such pro-
duce in the whole country. Several
hundred dollars were subscribed to ad-

The clover, alfalfa, and erass-seed
drills have been discussed in ssevdral
farmers meetings duriuS the last few
weeks are giving eminent satisfaction.
Judge H. Slecth bought one to SOW
twelve acres Of alfalfa, and states that
he wouldn't be without It for a great
deal more than its cost. He s9wed
just onc-half the seed that is required
by the old methods and is afraid his
seed will be too thick. The saving in
price Of seed alone on this small patch
has paid for onc-third the initial cost
of the drill. Every seed is put down
at same depth, none covered too deep
and none left exposed; every germin-
atable seed will sprout and the sun
won't kill the young roots before they
get established in the ground. The
Judge says he believes it would pay
him to run the drill over his ground
even if he wasn't sowing any grass
seed for the fine shape ii left the land
in.

Missouri Moose
Grow Aggressive
ACTIVE ALL OVER STATE.
Resolutions of Many Gatherings De-
nounce Republicans for
Fraud"

Who was it that aid that the Bull
Moose" was dead? Let such an one
retract his statement. No such thing
has ever happened, 1t has been, as
is often the case, the wish has been
father to the thought, and it is like
ly that the Standpatter element has
started this tale Of woe in the hope
that it would advance their interests.
The following article appearing in
last Mondays Republic would indicate
very different situation, indeed.
Activity among Missouri Progress
sives has become marked in the last
few weeks. 1t is not confined to any
particular part Of the State, but is
just as noticeable down in the Ozarks
as it is up in the rich prairie counties
Of Northern Missouri. There is every
reason to believe % previous estimate
that go per cent Of the counties, will
have Progressive tickets for the couu-
y Offices will bee exceeded.
Two months ago Adair County Pro-
nrc.sEes set the pace hy turning
down cold q proposition from the reg
ulgr Republicans for fusion in which
the "s,uudputtcr agreed to accept
only the minor p.arcf on the ticket,
leaving the choice ones for he Moose.
This proposition Was rejected within
.wa minute after /, was made. Since
.hen similar proposition have been
refused uy the praarcsaives in cigh-
teen or twenty other counties.
The Progressive party in Stone
County met la.t week and without 1t
dissenting vote, adopted this resolu-
ton
1--WE dcnouncc the Republican Con-
yention of 1912 in Chicago, realizing
it was a fraud from start to finish and
was presided over by the favored few
political bosses, who tried to and did,
regardless Of the wishes Of the masses
Of the people, force W. Il. Taft's
nomination on the people,
Rights Of People Stolen"
Therefore, we fully realize that
the rights Of the people have been
gradually Slipping away from them;
or in other words stolen, until they.
the voters, had to step down and out
and declare their independence in ord
cr to get a square deal"
This resolution, with slight varia-
tions, has been adopted by Progressive
gatherings in a number Of other coun-
ties.
According to J. Fred Rhodes of FL
dorado Springs, Cedar County, Pro-
grcssives are preparing to place a full
county ticket in the field. He is
former Republican,, who once made
the race for Congress as the nominee
of that party against the late D. A.
De Almond. He is chairman of the
Progressive Committee in Cedar
County, and is regarded as one of the
strongest of the Roosevelt leaders in
that part of the State. ,
Another strenuous Progressive lead
er, W. F. jackson of Cassvile, has
announced his candidacy for the nom
nation for Presiding Judge of the
County Court of Barry County. His
candidacy will carry with it the nom-
nation of an entire Progressive ticket.
