Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1914-03-05

Several have inquired about the
blood trail on the Democrat stairs
Wednesday morning. Some thought
perhaps some one had brought up
an Ode to Spring and that the edi-
tor, not having gotten the Stiffness
out of his muscles from shoveIing
snow, resented it. In self defense
will say that Olee Johnson was as
sisting about some plumbing that
is being done and cut his hand bad
ly. 1t is still safe for both poets
and politicians to make us a call.

lvorite with Las Vegas movie fans is

Gated here Mr.. Fielding was a great

several months.
Following is a synopsis of "The
Dreamer"
AL Morez, dreamer, while transfer

his canvas hears a shirll cry, he turns
and sees a young girl falling from
the rocks. He gives her aid, and a
friendship is born that later is sealed
by love- The dreamer's brother, Eb-
EN-, comes home upon vacation and
like snake brings darkness into the
peaceful Eden, crushing happiness into
distorted thing. lie takes AIS
sweetheart and weds her. A child is
born. The old father of the boys.
thinking he is about to pass over the
Great Divide, gives all of his estate
to Eben, who, despising the dreamer,
throws him out upon the world. Five
years later al is working in the pot
terry, and the elder brother living on
the riotous road Of the neuveritch,
mixing with companions whose deeds
have sped many to perdition He be-
comes hysterical with his environ
ments. places his father in an asylum
that he may have a free hand, then
leaves his wife and child The dream
er hears of this through staunch
servant and goes to his old sweet

be near death. He then goes in search
Of his brother and finds him in the
midst of a reckless throng. Tearing
him away by physical force he drags
him home to the bedridden wife. The
dreamer then wanders beside the
brook where in the early days he and
Aida spoke their words Of love. He
removes the vines that have grown
around stick that his sweetheart had
planted, then breaking it apart lets
it float down the stream of destiny,
as he offers prayer to the supreme
master.

INTEREST IN YOUNG PULLMAN
 CONTINUES GROWING DAILY
Petitions Pouring in Asking Commu- tatiOn of Sentence from all Sec tiOns State. Governor Will
 Reconsider His Case.

Interest in Arthur Tillman, the youth sentenced to hang at Bonneville on the 1Sth., is growing daily, and 1t almost requires an extra carrier to convey the mail to Gov. Hays, so great has become the volume of the protests. These petitions for com mutation came from all sections of the United States, and it is probable that more of them come from outside the state than from Arkansas.
 One paper of the state has offered printed post cards to be sent to Gov. Hays praying that the life of the boy be saved, and the county in which the paper is circulated is we'll represent ed among the petitions.
 The gray headed father of Tillman will return to Little Rock the last of this week, and plead with Gov. Hays to spare the life of his boy, explaining that if he is executed that it will also mean the death of the aged, and brok- en hearted mother. The elder Till man has never lost faith in the son, and he will endeavor to explain to Gov. Hays the probability of another being guilty of the crime, as charged by young Tillman.
 Gov. Hays will again go into the matter upon his return from Califor- mia, and prominent people have vol unteered their services in placing the matter before him. They ask only for a communication of sentence, and in face of the doubt which has risen in the minds of many, as to Tillman's guilt, it is believed that the Governor in the interest of humanity will yield.
 Tillman was tried in the county where the crime was committed, and where prejudice was very strong against him. He prayed change of venue, and it was refused him. The fact that the people in that section are today so loudly clamoring for the execution of the boy, shows how the feeling has been against him from the beginning, and how futile would be the efforts of the youth, if inno- cent, to prove it.

SLIGHT PROBABILITIES OF
 BULL MOOSE CANDIDATES Stand Pat Republicans Will Lead out Victim, Probably Harry Meyers. MOosers Conserve Fire for
 Election 2 Years Later

In spite of all that has been said, there will hardly be any Bull Moose candidate for state office in the fall election, though the Stand Pat Re- publicans will lead out John I. Worth ington, Andrew I. Rowland, Harry H.. Meyers, or some other victim of the biennial slaughter. The Bull Moosers will conserve their fire for the cleo tion two years later, which will be a presidential election year, and at which time they expect to make heavy inroads into the old line party. De- mocrats are not worrying about the Republican, Bull Moose, Prohibition, Socialist or Political Equality candi- dates, but Secretary J. S. Maloney of the State Central Committee will con- duct an active campaign for the party candidates, to roll up heavier ma jority than in past years just to show how the child does grow.

ACTIVE WORK BEGUN ON
 AMENDMENT NUMBER II Mayor Charles E. Taylor of Little Rock Head of Committee. Work will be Vigorously Pushed
 Until Fall Election.

Active work began in behalf of Amendment No. IA the Bond Issue Amendment, this week, and will be continued at terrific clip until the general election in September. May OF Charles E. Taylor, of Little Rock, who is at the head of the committee conducting the campaign, has made a trip or two out of the city during the week. and before his argument, scat tering and half hearted opposition from people who have opposed the measure simply because it is bond issue, fell to pieces.
 The bond issue amendment carried by heavy majority in the election of 1912 but was knocked out by Supreme Court ruling, and now comes back in much better form, to again ask pub lie approval. In 1912 only twelve counties cast majorities against the Bond amendment. The total majority in these only reached 1541. An analy- sis of the vote shows there was no real opposition, the voters rejecting the amendment merely because they did not understand, nor were they in terested in it. A campaign of educa- tion will he maintained in these coun- ties until the election, in order to show the people where the amend ment will indirectly benefit them. Of the twelve counties, only a few have a city of any class in them, and several have only one incorporated town. It is this class of counties that will be reached by the campaigners.
 As bond issues can be made only by towns and cities, by the amendment, it will in no way effect the residents of county or villages. They will not pay taxes, yet their property will be indirectly increased in value thereby. With a showing of this kind, the rural voter is sure to endorse the proposi- tion, and the bond amendment will again be adopted. The cities will adopt it for it means such a great saving to them by placing their bonds at less interest, and in getting work done so much cheaper by having cash to pay for improvements, rather than to negotiate for funds on discounted city warrants.
