SAFE, CONSERVATIVE AND FAIR.

II is not too late to call attention t
a sentiment in Governor Major
message to the legislature which wei
deserves special emphasis. In hi
closing words he wrote:
Be concerned at all times, with
the larger things, and look only
TO the interests of Missouri and
her people and not to the side
lights set by those who are not
concerned in the progress of the
state, and who may be too mar
row to look beyond political
environment. Be safe, conser-
,'XatiYe and fair to every interest.
Be careful not to depress or de-
stroy any legitimate interest,
great or small; they 90 t0 make
up our great financial and Conn.,
mercial fabric. Should you dis
-4ress or iniure any interest In the
commonwealth which contributes
to our. commercial aggrandike-
.ment and progress YOU, to that
extent, destroy or retard the
business OF the state and the
country. Place your feeton safe
ground in these matters to the
end the country's march to civic
and commercial glory may be
safe, sound and certain.
Governor Major is to be congrat-
ulated upon this courageous stand
against all needless business harass-
ment. And his stand is we'll taken.
Some years ago glaring misdeeds
perpetrated by few despicable mis-
representatives of big business war;
ranted the public probe that ferreted
them out. 1t was perhaps natural
that public sentiment which had been
too long unsuspicious, should sud-
denly become oversuspicious, but
it had made hard shedding for a good
many legitimate business whose sue.
cess is very closely interviewer with
general prosperity in this country.
Today it is the business man who
needs help-the sort of help Governor
Major implies. If the Missouri legis-
lators will follow his advice it will
mean an early return to full pros
perity in this great state. Joplin

and never misses an opportunity IA
cast his vote. This comes to him
naturally for his father was. one Of
the most untiring party workers Of
the county for many years. The
Usage delegation never seemed COM
plete without Jim Moreland as one
Of the number to represent the coun-
try district. The last time that he
was ever in Butler. which was only
a short time before his death, he was
a delegate to the convention that
nominated Prof. Ives for the office
which his son is now seeking.
Prof. Moreland is a faithful worker
in the church and Sunday school of
his choice and is an ardent believer
in the fact that. the moral education
of the child must keep pace with its
intellectual development.
He is married and has pleasant
home in Butler where he has been
employed for the past two years as
principal Of the Webster school.
He is thoughtful, energetic and
progressive and if nominated and
elected the people of our county need
have no fears but that our schools
will be kept up to their present high
standard and that he will be ever on
the alert for ways and means to make
them more efficient still in their
work.

Capitol by July l 1916, Says
Report.

There was submitted to Gov. Majol
and the Legislature by E. w: Ste
phens chairman Of the Capitol Com
mission, a report on the new State
house construction during 1914. Il
is stated that most satisfactory pro.
gress has been made in the erection
of the building.
The report contains the following
facts concerning the new Capitol,
which the board expects to be ready
! for occupancy within the lime limit,
July 1, 1916.
There will be 100 rooms in the
building.
The 285 foundation piers rest on
bedrock found at depths varying
from 20 TO so feet.
The dome is to be lighted by con-
cealed searchlights that will enable it
to be seen for miles along the Mis-
souri, river.
Every office is an outside room
The scheme of arrangement for
offices is pronounced perfect by ex-
perts.
The exterior stone wall is to ex-
tend II feet above the reinforced
steel that carries the roof giving am
pie space for another office floor
which can be provided at any time at
the cost Of putting on another roof.
Precaution has been taken to in
sure perfect acoustics in the Senate
chamber and House of Representa-
tives. Eminent authorities, includ-
ing Prof. Sabine of Harvard were
consulted. =
The board takes pride in the fact
that the Capitol will combine in a re-
markable degree the greatest utility
with beauty of architecture.
Construction materials used are in
unusually large quantities. There
are 1900 tons of structural steel,
10000 cubic yards Of concrete, s.
600. 900 brick, 24O,OOO feet Of stone
for the interior finish, 100, 600 bar
rels of cement and other materials in
CORRESPONDENCE large quantities.
The commission recommends there |
be appropriated from the Capitol tax |
fund 1923, 585. 80 to reimburse the
Capitol building fund for amounts
paid.as bonus for the sale of the
building fund and for interest on the
undelivered $500, 600 of bonds.
The board directs attention to the
fact that this appropriation would
take the Capitol tax fund only money
which can be used for no other pur-
pose than the building Of the State
house and will not in any way affect
the payment Of the bonds as they fall
due as the tax produces more than is
sufficient for that purpose.
It would give 40 the board points
out the net amounts for use in the
building that people voted should be
expended upon it.

The Industrial parade Of the Okla

Indications to be one OF the really
great features of the celebration. A
large crowd OF merchants. manufaC-
turcrs and business firms, together
with the representatives of organized
labor. met at the Chamber Of Com
.mcrCc rooms ON Friday night and de
cidcd to make 1t great.
All of the various industries of the
city were represented; all declared
that they would have one or more
floats in line and that all would be
deliberately decorated. II was the gem
cral feeling that the Durbar was
worthy of support in that il promoted
the greater interests of Tulsa, and that
one very good way to support the Dur
bar was TO make its paradcs larger
and better and more comprehensive
than they had ever been before. Not
one present but expressed his feeling
about the matter in words that iudi-
Gated enthusiastic interest, and the
works that will follow the words will
make the industrial parade one long
to be remembered.
Details of Floats.
