ing several solemn promises he
made to stand for the people
when a candidate at the primary.
The politicians all want the con-
vention system because they are
more easily manipulated. No

even though he hides behind a
caucus, thereby binding not only
the senators but making the de-
mocracy of Missouri as we'll re-
spOnsible.

The Senate has passed the bill

this time.

March 9 the house killed the
civil code bill, or more correctly
speaking, requiring all attorneys
now p~racticing in courts to start
over again. The changes of the
present law were radical, being
what is said to be a shortening of
procedure in the trial of case
and was death to court stenog-
rahphers. Quite a bunch of the
revision bills will also be killed.
While the legislature refused

Representative Houx secured
the passage of this law two years

uOus sessions held Sunday and
Monday. This has been a politi-
cal session, the Republicans do
ing every thing in their power to
block legislation. Then since the
election of Buford, speaker pro-
tenn over Casey, a Reed man,
the Major-Reed scrap has been
on in earnest. Neither let's a
chance get by that would in any
way help their candidacy for
United States Senator. And the
people will pay the scrap expen-
ses.
Up to March II only IL Of the
143 code bill bills had been pass
ed by the House. These are the
bills recommended by the revis-
ion committee appointed by Gov.
Major two years ago. The bills
are purely technical in character
and relate to court procedure.
By an amendment to the public
bill no member of that
body is eligible for an elective Of
flee until two years after
his retirement, either by resigna-
ton or determination Of present
appointment.
At,this time it looks like there
Wilt be no railroad legislation.
The Senate wants to give the
railroads all they ask, but the
House only favors a 212 cent rate
after a physical valuation has
been honestly ascertained. So
there you are.
The republican members of the
House since the beginning of
the session have had a pick at
the old Confederate heroes. A
bout the first bill introduced was
one by Representative Wilder,
republican, and son of a former
Republican State Auditor, abol-
ishing the present law granting
Confederate soldiers pensions.
But this was killed in short or
der. From that time on all
through the session different re-
publicans have INDUCED in
sighting remarks as to Confed-
crates. March 18th the bill APP
prOpriating the money to pen
sion Confederate soldiers was up
for final passage. Hardly had
it been read before P. H. Barris,
republican representative from
Lawrence County offered an
amendment to reject and strike
out the entire section containing
the provision appropriating
5000, 100000 to be used in pen
sioning the old and deserving
Confederate soldiers. A roll call
was demanded and Barris' a.
mendment was murdered, there
105 votes in opposition and
only 8 votes for the amendment.
This made Barris hot in the col
lar and his speech was mean,
vindictive and scurrilous, closing
with the utterance that Missouri
was unjust in granting pensions
to Confederates and by refusing
to pension the Missouri State
Militia. Then came a second a.
mendment offered by w. H.
Evans, republican, from Wash
ington County, to the effect that
pensions be granted only Mis-
souri, Confederates enlisting in
and now residents of Missouri.
too, was overwhelmingly
defeated. Then the bill allowing
the 5000, 100000 pension money
was passed with little opposition.
Being in touch with the situa-
ton, the credit for continuing
pensions to the old Confederate
heroes is due to the tireless eff
forts Of John P. Gordon, State
Auditor. The Committee had
voted as the State had no money
for these pensions and an appro-
priation would not be made this
session. Gordon heard of this
and time and time again he went

Notice of Annual School
Election.

Notice is hereby given to the
qualified voters and tax payers of
the school district of Lexington,
County Of Lafayette, and State
of Missouri, that the annual
school election of said school dis
trict will be held on
Tuesday, April 6, 1915,
at the same voting places and
conducted by the same judges
and clerks as that of the city
election and commencing at 7
o'clock a. M, and closing at sun
set of said day, and that the fol-
lowing propositions will be sub
mitted, towit:
First. The election of two
members of the Board of Direc-
tors to serve three years and I'M
til their successors are elected
and qualified.
Second. To increase the an
nual rate of taxation (Which is
fixed by law at 40 cents) 60 cents
on the 500 annual valuation for
school purposes.
Done by order Of the Board of
Directors of the school district of
Lexington, Missouri, at the reg
ular monthly meeting held
March 3, 1915.
ALBERT F. WINKLER,
Sec.
N. B.
The tax submitted for school
purposes is not an increase over
the amount of last year, but is
an increase over the amount that
may be levied by the School
without the vote of tax
payers being had. Under the
law the School Board can only
levy up to 40 cents on the $500
without such vote. The levy this
year is the same levy that has
been voted for the past few
years, and if the proposition car
ries, the rate of taxation for
school purposes will be the same
as in 1914.

Democrats happy over their victory of
Tuesday in New York city. When the
president arose to speak every one
jumped up and applauded until he
was forced to signal for quiet.

1--WE have witnessed what we did not
think possible, a great European con-
fl1ct involving many of the greatest
nations of the world The influences
or the great war are everywhere in the
air All Europe is in battle. Force
everywhere speaks out with a loud
and imperious voice in titanic strug-

all political shades to rally to the sup

resented the best professional and
expert opinion of the country" and
gave warning that 'ff men differ with
me in this vital matter shall ask
them to make it clear how far and in
what way they are interested in max
ing permanent interests of the coun-
try safe against disturbances
There is not need for the country
to feel panic stricken, the president
declared, because it stands on friendly
relations with the world. He spoke
of the United States ''as a nation too
big and generous to be exacting, but
rights and the liberties of its people
wherever assafled or involved"

Outlining the defense program, the
president said it included an increase
in the standing. army, the training
citizen soldiers to be raised in annual
forces of 133, 900, and the strengthen
ing of the national guard. He laid
particular emphasis on the need of
ample equipment.
The president declared that the
navy already is "a very great and eff
cient force" but that in order to bring
1t to point of extra ordinary force
and efficiency" a definite policy must
be adopted and fastened and an ade-
quate supply of men and equipment
provided.
