no NE OF R. D. WORRE.L
DAMAGED BY FIRE FRIDAY

The residence Of r. d. Worrell, on
the Boulevard, was heavily damaged
by water Friday evening about seven
o'clock when a blaze on the roof was
extinguished. The fire is thought to
have originated from a spark falling
from a chimney. The damage is COW
cred by insurance. Only one room
in the residence escaped the down
pour Of water.
When the water was turned on, the
stream did not reach the roof and it
was necessary for the firemen TO
take the hose to the top of the build
ing with the did Of ladders before it
could be thrown on the blazing part.
Owing to leaks in the hose the force
Of the stream was materially effected
and John Dyke, of the Mexico Power
Company, says this was the reason for
the stream falling short.
The Worrell home is one Of the
handsomest in Mexico. Les Lowder,
a neighbor, discovered the fire and
t~elephoned Mr.. Worrall, who was I'M
aware Of the blaze. An effort was
made TO extinguish the flames with
buckets of water, but without sue
cess.

DEMOCRATIC BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION FOR MO.

COL FRED GARDNER, Missourls
next Governor, is one of the most sue
cessful business men in the State,
and in order to give Missouri a thor
ough and efficient business admins
tration, must have the cooperation
Of the other State officials, the Legis-
lature and the people Of Missouri gen.
orally. If the Democratic House and
Senate viii start of by having only
as many clerks as are necessary to
transact the business, a good begin
ming viii be made in the direction Of a
business administration. II has been
the custom off and on in Missouri, IN
der both Republican and Democratic
administrations and Il was especially
noticeable when the Republicans had
control Of the Legislature, that from
two TO ten times as many clerks and
assistants were employed during the
neeting Of the Legislature as are
necessary. Infants in arms CON-
mence crying TO be pages, and many
who are untitled to do any kind Of
work, are anxious to get on the pay
roll during the session Of the Legis-
~lature. Just as many employees as
are necessary to do the work should
be employed, and not a single one
more. It is a mistaken idea to Think
that the people Of the State generally
are not wise to this scramble to get
on the payroll
1t is a joke for the Legislature tn
talk about economy and a business adj
ministration when they are dispens-
ing patronage to those who are not
expected TO render adequate service.
The people of Missouri are in favor
Of all State officials having plenty OF
help, but want the business Of the
State transacted just the same as the
business Of any firm or corporation
would be. II we are going to have a
business administration, let the Legis-
%lature start right in January, and co.
operate with the Governor in this d.
rection. Don't let's talk about it, but
let's do something. The first thing &c
do is to employ only as many clerks as
are needed to transact the business Of
the Legislature. When you make the
right kind of start, the rest will be
much easier. We have promised Mis-.
souri, an efficient and thorough bust
ness administration and are going 10
make good. The Legislature is going
to start right.

MOCKING 4 GOVERNMENT
OF LAW AND ORDER

SURELY the President Of the Broth
erhood Of Railroad Trainmen must
have been misquoted in the following
from the New York World:
President Lee Of the Brotherhood
Of Railroad Traiumen Il tI1s quoted:
Any railroad that attempts to
cancel the present schedule Of
hours and pay or refuses 70 put
the eight = hour day into effect
will find Itself with a strike on
its hands. What the Supreme
Court does with the law is no con-
Germ of ours. We have demanded
fair working hours and we are
going to get them.
This refers to the Adamson Eight
Hour Law for interstate railroads,
and it has in view the possible action
of the United States Courts on petit
tons from several roads that the ap-
plication Of the law be enioined pend
ing a judgment Of its constutionality.
What the United States Supreme
Court decides in such a case has prov
ed in the long run Of years TO be the
concern, and the very lively concern,
Of the most powerful aggreRations Of
capital ever organized in this u
try. IT has been accepted as the liv-
ing and daily concern Of a whole peo-
pie who have organized and who main
tain a government Of laws and not Of
men, and Of laws and their interprc-
tation in harmony with rights which
have been defined in the fundamental
law Of the land.
When, therefore, the head Of this
railroad brotherhood speaks as he Is
quoted he puts himself and affects %
put the brotherhood outside Of and
above the law and a government o.
law He is doing what no railroad
corporation or all Of them together
would ever dare to do. He is taking
a position which substitutes anarchy
for orderly societey and which can nc
more be tolerated for organized labor
than for organized capital.
Mr.. Lee will have to recede OF the
brotherhood should make all haste 70
repudiate him.
