SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK IN
ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY.

The most important factor to-
day in the education of the youth
of our land is the Sunday school.
There is danger of underesti.
mating the value of work along
this line, and of striving to ac-
complish results without eff
cient equipment. A Sunday
school worker needs to be train
ed for her work just as truly as
a day school teacher. She needs
to keep in touch with methods
suggested by Sunday school ex-
perts, and tried with good re-
suits by others, and to be on the
alert for every new plan that
might aid in doing more efficient
work.
The annual reports of the
Sunday schools of st. Francois
county show that in many re-
spects the schools of our county
are doing good work, but there
is much room for improvement.
At our County Convention last
June, the attendance was much
smaller than it should have been,
and those who failed to attend
missed great deal of help and
inspiration that would have
meant much to their Sunday
school work. AS a result of that
convention, at least one delegate
has completely transformed his
Sunday school. Others have
testified to the many ideas gain
ed there that have helped them
in a remarkable way in the work
of their schools.
In order that more may get
the benefit of such gatherings,
the officers of the County Asso-
citation have divided the coun-
ty into three districts, each dis
trict to hold a convention of it's
own in a central location in the
near future. The conventions
are as follows:
Bonne Terre, Friday, Oct. Is.
Sunday schools included in this
district, those of Big River, Ma
rion and Perry Townships, and
Leadwood.
Flat River, Tuesday, Oct. 10.
Sunday schools included in this
district, those of Iron Township,
Esther, Elvins, Desloge and
Cantwell.
Pennington, Monday, Oct. 25.
Sunday schools included in this
district, those of Liberty and
Pendleton Townships, Farming
ton and DeLassus.
Let us have a good represent
alton of all these Sunday schools
at these conventions. The pro-
gram will be published next
week.

BACON'S LOST RULES AND
DECISIONS

We are told that it was in the
early days of Hellenic splendoI
and civilization, that a commits.
sion was formed in Rome and
went to Greece. It's formation
seems to have been inspired by
a learned Greek, Herodotus of
Ephesus, who had become a
Roman citizen. What this COM
mission brought back seems
mot to have been a code but
much that had proved of the ut
termost practical value to
Greece" This material was US
ed in connection with the exist
ing Roman law. 1t was at first
promulgated in the year 451 B.
G. and designated as the law of
Tthe Ten tables--so called because
it was inscribed on ten tablets
of brass. Two tablets were af-
terwards added, and therefore it
was called the law of the Twelve
Tables. "In these was enunciat-
ed a collection of legal maxims
of universal application suffi-
cient to support the fabric of
the law which was afterwards
built upon it." ut was" says
our historian Judge M. F. Nor
ris, late associate justice of the
Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia, "like every other
institution worthy of considera-
ton, an evolution from primary
principles by the most compe-
tent race Of law givers that has
ever existed" Sir James Mcin-
tosh says: "The maxims are the
condensed good sense of the ma
tions." Alexander Hamilton
says; "A study of the maxims is
a study of government" It
was his knowledge of them that
made Hamilton the power he
was at the Philadelphia conven-
ton, which adopted the Consti-
tuition of the United States. The
recent Judge Murray F. Tuley,
revered by the bar of Chicago,
who sat as chancellor on the
Circuit Bench of Cook county,
ILL.,, for 35 years, speaking of the
maxims in an address before the
Illinois Bar Association said:
"The maXims are so broad, so
comprehensive, so fruitful, so
elastic and inculcate so pure a
that I have sometimes
thought that possibly the world
would be better off if we could
burn all our text books upon
equity jurisprudence, and we
might include ninety per cent Of
the reports, and preserve only
those grand, wise, comprehens-
i've, pure and beautiful maxims,
with which to redress civil
and enforce all civil
rights as between man and
man." The Romans proved the
truth of this statement, for the
naxims were what the Romans
began with and are the struc-
sure of the Civil law.

BARROLL'S ORCHESTRA
CONCERT TO HAVE CLASSY
PROGRAM

The concert to be given next
Friday night, October 18th, at
the Monarch by Barroll's Orches-
ira, promises to be an unusually
meritorious musical perform
ance. Not since 1878, when
Prof. John B. Kindig lived in
Pennington, has there been an
orchestral organization main
tanned in the town able to ham
die the standard classical works
creditably, so that the coming
concert is in large measure
novelty and something not hith-
erto attempted. Subject to un-
avoidable changes, the follow
ing is the program which is to
be rendered:
March, :Victor Herbert, by
Carr, Orchestra.
Cello Solo, ''Song to the Evening
STAR" by Wagner-Tobani, Mr..
Phillips and Orchestra.
Reading, selected, Miss Grace
Denman.
Cornet Solo, "Honeysuckle Pol
ka", by Casey, Mr.. Cover and
Orchestra.
Selection, Mrs. Nelson, Soprano.
Hungarian Fantasia, by Tobani,
Orchestra.
Violin Solo, 'Mazurka de Con-
cert, by Musin, Mr.. Porter.
Piano Duet, Light Cavalry"
Overture, by Suppe, Misses
Hattie Smith and Mary Hem
derson.
Romance of the Rose, by Trink-
haus, Orchestra.
'Funiculi Funicula," by Roberts,
Orchestra.
The first three rows of seats
at the Monarch will be reserved
for elderly persons, and there
will be no pictures shown dur
ing the evening. The concert
will require about one hour and
half, and will begin promptly
at 8 o'clock, the ushers being
instructed not to seat anyone
Turing the rendition of num-
Der. The admission will be 10
cents to all. The personel and
Instrumentation will be as fol-
ows: Mr.. Barroll, director and
irst violin; Miss Hattie Smith,
violin; VIM. O'Sullivan, Jr., vio-
in; Carroll E. Phillips, cello and
trombone; Sam Nichols, clari-
let; VIM. Cover, cornet; J. H.
2adel, bass viol; Miss Mary Jane
Henderson, piano. Each and all
If these players have had con-
siderable orchestral experience,
IS well as being proficient per-
'ormers individually, and the
public may web expect an enter
ainment comparing favorably

COMPLETE PLANT TO
 BE BUILT ON RUTH
From Saturdays DaiIy.D

William Lawler, heavily interested in mines of Eureka district, was an arrival yesterday from the Hillside camp ard stated Santa Fc engineers had passed through the country on a reconnaissance, presumably for the projected railroad that will tap the Copper creek fields, and the big hold ings of the Bagdad Company. Re ports were in circulation, evidently well founded, that this movement is the forerunner of plans maturing to build the road, the observations of the engineers to be followed later in the fall by a preliminary survey, and possibly a locating party will enter the field in due time Mine owners are quite elated over the ac- ton taken, which at this time is sig. nificant of earnest consideration be- ing extended that region in the near future.

ID OPERATE LYNX
 CREEK PAGERS
(From Sundays OaIIy)

While it had been quietly reported for several days that the Guggen- helms were considering entering this field, it was learned yesterday, how ever, from reliable sources, that such an important movement had been con- summated by this big operating syn dicste closing an option deal for talk ing over the old hydraulic diggings on Lynx creek.
 Furthermore, it was stated, that Fred Morse, chief engineer of the dredging department of, this firm would arrive in Prescott in few days from San Francisco to assume charge, and begin an exhaustive sampling of the big acreage. Mir. Morse was a visitor to the ground about five weeks ago. when dredging operations were going on, and it is presumed his mission was to arrive at absolute con ditions pertaining to the mineral re- sources of that field, and which it is believed are fully substantiated by him again coming to assume charge of the rich holdings determined by inadequate machinery. What method will be applied to work that placer belt is not known, but the fact of these heavy operators deciding to be- gin active exploration q; that point Is conclusive of the proposition be- ing rated as attractive enough to war rant a large outlay in preliminary investigation.
 This deal had been under consider alton at Kansas City, where the prin cipal shareholders of the company re- side, and who were to install larger and better dredge, when negotiations were suddenly concluded with the Guggenheims.

PECHETTI FOUND
 GUILTY IN Is MINUTES
(From Saturdays Dally.)

Mike Chemis and Joe Pechetti will appear in the Federal court this morn, ing at 9:30 o'clock and be sentenced by Judge Sawtelle for selling liquor without a government license.
 In the Pechetti case, after the com pletion of the arguments by the at torneys, the jury was out but Is minutes and took but two ballots be fore the defendant was found guilty. In the Chemis case, which was slight ly different, the jury was out 24 hours before the verdict was reached. In the greater part of that period the jury was deadlocked by one juror The first ballot taken stood 6 to 6. It was taken Thursday afternoon, but by evening that day the vote was II to one in favor of convic- ton. The one man held out all that night and all day yesterday until the afternoon when he was finally won over by the majority.
 After the verdicts were returned the defendants were released under bonds of $2.5OO each. Alter the sen tencing of the two men this morn ing the Federal court will adjourn until the next term in Prescott in March. A maximum sentence of five years or a minimum of 30 days or fine anywhere between $500 and $1, COG. or both, may be imposed upon each of the men.
 Before the Pechetti jury was in structed yesterday arguments were presented for the prosecution by United States Attorney Flynn and his assistant. Gerald Jones, and for the defense by Attorneys LeRoy An derson and F. L. Haworth.
 Those on the witness stand yes terday were Fred B. Sparkes. Robert Maders, Fred Hudson and Sheriff Young. The first two testified to having purchased liquor from Pechet- ii since July 1. the date his govern ment license expired, and the last two testified as to having examined Pechctti's premises at Humboldt and having found large quantities of Ii quor.

BUCOLIC PRESS

Ernest Wolf of Mount Morris owns
a farm that has been badly infested
by ground hogs this summer. Inc
animals. when not eating clover and
stripping roasting ears, have been
tunneling under the ground OF the
farm.
Wolf owns an automobile, and he
secured a piece of hose which he at
tached to the exhaust and opened the
oil feed. The machine was then
backed up to the holes where ground
hogs were living and the engine rae
ed. The noise. gas and smoke never
failed to drive the hogs to the surface
where they were dispatched by Volt
boys. Over 200 were killed. The par,
ty finally struck a hole contalnlne

Of the venerable Joseph H. Choate:

1t is plain enough that the peace

v~creins have political as well as mil
itary and commercial purposes. They
celebrate the loss OF every tran
Atlantic liner. They rejoice when q

look with as much disfavor upon the
use Of arms by the United States as
upon the shipment of arms to the

If a great alien movement OF tins

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
TIMBER

Less than eight months from no"
the candidates for the next presiden-
CIV of the United States will have
been nominated. Less than our
months from now the primaries
which will determine the candidate
will have begun and some OF the DEL
epates will have been elected. AT the
present moment it is possible TO say
that the most aggressive candidacy
for the Republican nomination is that
of Senator John w. Weeks OF Mass
acbusetts. Ex-senator Root is not
really available. Justice Hughes Is,
as always, the Republicans one best
chance. but his Discrimination to per
mil the use of his name has not been
diminished. In the Judgment OF the
closest and most careful observers he
is likely to remain firm in refusing to
permit the use Of his name IN the
race. Senator Burton of Ohio IS the
third conservative who how
strength and commands a good deal
Of public confidence. Among the
more progressive possibilities OF the
Republican party, Cummins and Bor-
ah are the only persons who have
enough following to be considered
With the layout as it tands here, Is
the Republican party likely to make
much of a showing in the next ma
tional election!
The defeat of the new constitution
in New York is largely a personal
defeat for ex-senator Root. The doc
ument was identified with Mr.. Root
more thar with any other one man
We believe that his work in framing
it was thoroughly conscientious and
very creditable. But the public retus-
ed TO see the new Root, the Root O
the last sixteen years of public ser
vice. They persisted in seeing the
old Root who guided corporations
through doubtful practices. 1t Is
pathetic thing and, on the whole, te
be regretted. Root is a very abl'
man, and his ability now and fo1
some time has been wholly at the ser
vice of the ptblic. But, even regard
less OF the defeat Of the constitution
that was identified with him, Roo
was never really available. No mar
can make any kind of showing agains
Wilson, and no man probably vii
set the Republican nomination, eN
cept one who car command at leas
a fair number of Progressive votes
Root is conspicuously a man who can
not do this. The Progressives ma,
forgive a great deal, but they cal
hardly forgive the mar who wa
chairman of the 1912 Republican con
~vention and who must have acte'
in concert with Barnes and Penros'
in doing what was done there.-Col
