crook and swindler, known as such,
to the Chairman Of the Republican
Central Committee and other leaders

in ST. Louis, before the election, and
instead of Withdrawing him from the

that city chance to elect an honset,
fearless and capable man as President
of the Board of Aldermen, the Repub-

mon crook upon the honest citizenship

than let the Office go to an honest and

nation or desire to shield their party
in such rotten and contemplate deals
they are welcome to it. Right here

STOCKHOLDERS MEETING

The stockholders of the Doe Rur
Lead Company had their annual meet
ing at its general office at Bonnie
Terre on May 7, 1915, for the two
purposes of electing board of direc-
tors to serve for the ensuing year and
for the purpose of amending the by
laws.
1t will be remembered that on Sep
TENDER 10, 1918, and as a settlement
and compromise Of the so-called
"Holmes Litigation" quite a number
of the stockholders of the Doe Run
Lead Company agreed to certain
plan of consolidation of the Doe Run
and the st. Joe, and there agreed to
turn in" their stock to trustee and
have said amount of stock in the St.
Joe issued to it. According to this plan
Of the Doe Run Lead Company, there
was issued 64,534 shares to the St.
Joseph Lead Company; there were
cast 65,676 votes at this election.
The administration ticket nominal
ed was: C. H. Crane, E. A. Rozier, F..
H. bearing, L. H. Besson, and r. R..
S. Parsons; the "Holmes element"
nominated: Robert Holmes, P. N.
Moore and H. F. Knight; and, just
before the vote was taken, B. H. Mar
bury, attorney for Robert Holmes,
filed a written protest against the st.
Joseph Lead Company voting the 64,-
534 shares issued to it by the stock
holders of the Doe Run Lead Com
pany under the consolidating agree
ment of September 10, 1918; and Mr..
J. H. Holiday, attorney for S. R.
Maynard of Mass, and who held l.
100 shares Of the Doe Run Lead Com
pany, also filed his written protest
along the same line of Mr.. Marbury's
The vote, as cast, showed that the
administration ticket" was elected,
Mr.. Crane having received $4,000
votes and each of the others received
65,595 votes; s. R. Maynard received
2748 votes and John w. MacLane re-
reived 2747 votes; Robert Holmes re-
ceived 80 votes; P. N. Moore received
70 votes, and H. F. Knight received
II votes. The administration tick
ct" was declared elected.
The opposition, represented byI
Robert Holmes and S. r. Maynard,
# the 64534 votes are illegal, elected
1t least four of the five directors, and
all five of them.
We understand that legal proceed |
ngs will be instituted to test the |
lights Of the St. Joseph Lead Com
,any to vote the 64,534 shares, but
ust what this action will be, we are
lot advised.
Mr.. Holmes asserts that the only
purpose he has is to require and, if |
lecessary, compel the highest eff
iency in all departments at the least
easonable cost in operating these
mines.

CONDITIONS GOOD IN JOPLIN
DISTRICT
LabOrers Paid High Wages.

Attorney Robert Schuck of Webb
City, Jasper county, Mo-, is attending
Circuit Court here this week. Mr..
Schuck at one time lived in this Con-
gressional District and was spoken of
for Congress. He is strong Demo-
crat, and says conditions were never
better than in the Joplin district, as
every mine is working at full capac-
ity and good prices for the oar.
He tells US that that district has
hundreds of miners who formerly
worked in the Flat River district, the
reason being that they pay about so
per cent more there for labor than in
our district.

of life to go about their accustomed
duties in the service of their fellow
man. In broad sense of the word
she may make reparation in dollars
and cents, in apologies, in regrets
and in promises Of future compliance
with international laws, which are
took to be justice as between nations,
as has been determined by the wisest
diplomats and international law ex-
perts Of all the nations; but this
monetary consideration, while it will
constitute in a measure a sort of rep
aration, it will not suffice to restore
the status. quo--the lives that have
been ruthlessly filched; nor, in view
of Germany's past consideration and
regard for her promises, agreements
and signed treaties, can we afford to
take very seriously future promises
she may make.
The general consensus and wisdom
of statesman, press and pulpit civil
ian and laity Of the civilized nations
of Europe, Asia and America is that
this act of Germany constitutes muir
der in the highest degree regardless
of her warning, which, does not con
stitute any defense or excuse for
crime OIL the part of nation any
more than on the part of an individ-
ual who might issue and publish a
warning of contemplated destruction
of the life of person in the course
of his daily routine Of lawful and le-
gal business.
Furthermore, the Coroner's inquest
held over the dead corpses resulted in
a verdict of murder, so the great
mass of public opinion on every hand
determines the fact-murder.
The annals of modern history fail
to record a parallel, especially among
reputed civilized nations.
1t is well to be firm, slow and reas-
onably sympathetic in passing on a
fact when feeling is run
ming high, so to be certain no element
Of passion or antipathy influences our
finding of fact; but when unadulter-
ated, unmodified fact has been found,
we should hasten the execution of
judgment as rapidly as possible, al
ways having regard for "due pro-
cess"

Our Republican contemporaries
the mild as well as the violent calam-
ity bowler, object to our connecting
the Republican city bosses of st. Louis
with electing to office A. H. Freder-
lex, whom the bosses knew to be a
crook before the election. In order
to shield the action of the Republican
party organization in St. Louis, it
seems to us, they cite the Wholesale
ballot-box stuffing at Terre Haute,
Ind, of which the Democrats elected
to office were guilty. If the Demo-
cratic Chairman and the Central Com
mittee at Terre Haute knew of the
fraudulent voting or of the intention
of such, then the party organization
is responsible for the scandal, and
the Sun will not try to shield them in
any way, shape or form, as our con-
temporaries are trying to do in the
scandal perpetuated upon the honest
voters Of the city of st. Louis just a
few weeks ago. Yes, we remember
the special train from Terre Haute to
Leavenworth. We also remember the
wholesale boodling in ST. Louis some
years ago, and how the sugar weigh
ers stole hundreds of thousands of
dollars from the government, under
the Republican administration, and

The destruction of the Lusitania, a
first-class passenger ship, amounts to
nothing, since it was an inanimate
object; but the shifting out of human
lives, the lives of men, women and
babes, instantly, without any chance
whatever to seek safety, who were in
nocent passengers in the usual and
lawful pursuit of their duties, is quite
another thing.
Approximately 1900 lives were ex-
tinguished- souls sent into eter-
nifty, unexpectedly, without any op-
portunity of escape except the meagre
chance to safely ride the deadly
waves of the briny deep-in violation
of previously signed treaties and
formal agreements to first search and

as there are very few people who

The sinking of the Luscitania has
brought forth many comments on the
present Presidential administration
and we are glad to say that the ma
jority of them are favorable. The
country was never in a more serious
crisis since the days of the Civil war
and the President needs the united
support of the American people.
Whether the course that will be pur-
sued exactly pleases your fancy or
not, stand by the Government to the
last ditch. In case Of war, a divided
people would, in all probability, prove
fatal to the American cause. Let us
all do our best to avert war as much
as it is possible, but if war is neces-
sary let us at least be ready to do our
part to save the flag, that our fore
fathers died for, from shame and dis
grace.

The News called attention a week
or two ago to the fact that a charm
ing waltz tune played by the Palatka
Military Band at one of its street
concerts, was composed by Mr.. P. N.
Holtz-who makes fertilizers when
not toying with the divine muse-he
adapting the parts for every instru-
ment. incidentally let US say that
Prof. ]. W. Chattaway, our band
leader, is a composer of national rep
utation. We have just been looking
over a list of some of his productions,
amng them the following:
MANDY Lee"

"The Robin Told me So"
"Red Wing"
give Grown so Use to You"

"The Old Church Bell"
"My Honey Love"

he composed the music and in some
instances the words. Among his
instrumental pieces are the following

ka"-marches: Gust Dream" and
Love Eternal"-valses Kings
Knight Errant," an overture.

than that some of these airs are de-
lightful, and that some of the words
are poems of merit.

wh II Organize a
, palatk istoricaI Society

During tie last thirty or forty
years there sprang into existence a
number of organizations, particular
ly patriotic ones, having for objects
the keeping alive of traditions that
cluster about PARTICIPANTS in wars
and to cherish the, mutual friendships
| formed under the pressure of COM
mon dangers. In addition to this
group, other societies with other
motives have appeared, their pur-
pose being to maintain the patriot.
ic spirit of their ancestors, to col
lect and secure for preservation the
records relating to historical peri
DDS, and to provide suitable memo
rails of important events.
The country was inoculated many
years ago-in 1791-when the Mas
sachusetts Historical Society was or
ganized, the Introductory address
declaring: "Among the singular adj
vantages which are enjoyed by the
people of the United States, none is
more conspicuous than the facility
of tracing the origin and progress of
our several plantations.
With such advantages in our hands,
we are wholly inexcusable if we ne
glect to preserve authentic monu-
ments of every memorable occur
ence."
1t was a long time before this
germ "got to work." but now there
are quite $50 Americans historical
societies, each collecting materials
for the history of their respective
localities and inspiring an interest
in the study of the past. The start
in American history was made in
Florida, and no state affords great
er variety and of more romantic,
legendary and historical interest.
While Virginia claims to be the
mother of states" one only needs
to look at some of the early maps to
find that north of Mexico the word
Florida covered all that was known
of North America. Among those
who know of the shell-mounds along
the st. Johns river, bit few have in
their libraries Cushing'S book, "The
Shell-Men's Age" built around the
legends of men who lived here in the
days long following the occupancy
of the country by the elephant, the
mastodon, the sabertooth tiger, the
tapir and other huge tropical beasts
whose fossil remains have been dug
up along our great river and in 9TH
er parts of the state. If the anti
qIarian, archeologist or ANYBODY
else wants to find Omar Khayyam's
lines expressing the eternal thought
of whence we came and why" let
them study C1shing's book, search
out the whyfore of the grotesque
forms of life-of which the alliga-
tor is living relic-preceeding the
occupancy of the land by intelligent
and educated beings-of Florida,
running like a huge finger into the
sea, above the waters of which it
was the last to rise of any part of
the United States, coming up per-
haps where the legendary Atlantis
