Board of Exenp-
tons Organized

The Board Of Exemptions, whose
duty it will be to pass on the reasons
that may be given by all those who
recently registered in st. Francois
county, as to why they should be ex-
empted from army service, was or
ganized Monday. There were but two
members of the Board present at the
organization, Sheriff Chas. Adams
having been excused from such SER
vice. The other two members are DR..
j. L. Haney, of Flat River, who was
elected chairman, and County Clerk
Albert Wulfert, elected clerk.
These members, recommended as
the third member of the Board, Rob-
ert Moran, leading business man of
Bonne Terre. While Mr.. Moran has
not yet received official notice of ap-
proval of his appointment, his selec-
ton is a foregone conclusion. DR..
Haney will also be medical examiner.
The Board members will receive but
$4.00 day for their services, which
is small remuneration for the work
they will be called upon to perform.
In fact, it is more of patriotic du-
ty, as no amount of money could be
sufficient inducement to cause men of
the right sort to serve in such ca
pacity, except for the country's well
fare.
1t will be the "court of last resort.
insofar as st. Francois county citizens
are concerned. After the registration
list has been carefully culled by them,
then it will be up to all those remain
ing to answer their countrv's call fo,.
service. 1t is heroic work, pa
triotic work, that this Exemption
Board has to perform. That it will
be we'll performed The Times does not
doubt. .',.,

$2,OS6ss6 is SET ASIDE
FROM MISSOURI REVENUES
TO AID PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Jefferson City, Mo-, July g. The
total amount of State school moneys
for apportionment in August among
public schools of Missouri is $2,086,-
886.93, according to a certificate made
today by State Auditor Hackmann to
U. W. Lampkin, State Superintend-
ent of Public Schools.
This exceeds the opportionment of
1916 by $135, 5,844.G6, notwithstanding
the fact that the Democratic majori-
ty in the Forty-Ninth General AS
sembly appropriated 1851, 200 from
the State school moneys for teacher
training, salaries of county superin-
tendents and aid to rural high schools
for two years, which the statutes pro-
vide should come from the general
revenue.
The plan to get this money from
the school fund for these purposes,
which met with the almost solid op-
position of the Republican member
ship of the Legislature, was Matched
to relieve the revenues. Representa-
tive Frank H. Farris, Democratic
floor leader, made the argument in
favor of the appropriations from the
school fund, and asserted that because
of the new tax laws the schools would
get more than usual anyway.
The amounts appropriated from the
school moneys and the purpose of each
appropriation follows:
Salary of County Superintendents
for 1917 and 1918, $91, 200.
Aid to rural High Schools, 1925 900.
Teacher training in the High
Schools, $160,000.
Teacher training in st. Louis, Kan
sas City and st. Joseph, 100000.
The school fund is made up of
one-third of the receipts into the State
revenue fund, with the addition of
$751; ,040 derived from the interest on
the school certificates of indebtedness.
The total amount set aside for educa-
tional purposes for the school year
ending June 30, 1917, by Hackmann
was $2,220,612.08.
Before the public schools bot their
share there must be deducted from
the $2,08e, ,886.93 the sum of $104,-
344.35, or per cent, which is ap-
portioned to high schools under an
aid law enacted in 1918.

There seems to be no room for
doubling the correctness of the posi-
ton taken by Secretary of War Baker
that the price to be fixed by the Gov
ernment for "mine run coal" at the
mines, of $2.75 per ton, is entirely too
high. The cost of such coal, to the
operators, is not to exceed $1.25 per
ton. That they should be permitted a
profit of more than the cost of the
coal to them, is certainly exhorbitant.
Congress should line up solidly and
enthusiastically in support of Secre-
tary Baker in this matter.

Must Come to 1t

Another Is per cent raise was add
ed to the pay checks of the workers in
the Lead Belt on July End. But this
is only playing with fire., as the add
ing of such bonuses will not perma-
nently satisfy the miners, and the op-
orators will do we'll to take up the
sliding schedule, without being forced
to it, which must come before long.
1t would look far more like busi-
ness if they would at once lop off all
bonuses and establish the. sliding
schedule of wages, whereby the work.
ers are paid according to the price of
metal, which is the only just and fair
wage scale for such work. This plan
would also make it a safer business
for the operators, as when lead prices
are low, the men will be satisfied with
lower wages, and there would be no
fear of trouble when the wage scale
is lowered.
That plan, with the soaring price
of lead, would for the present cost
the operators considerable more mon
ey than the present wage scale, in
cluding all the bonuses, which is ev-
identity the reason for the studied and
prolonged attempt to evade the slid
ing schedule. But The Times believes
it must come. There is no way round.
And the facts are that the miners are
entitled to better wages than they
are now getting, with all their bonus

A Lasting Disgrace

The recent race riot in East St.
Louis, in which about a hundred ne
groes were slaughtered in the most
wanton and cold-blooded manner i'm
aginable, is perhaps one of the most
damnable disgraces that the people
of this country will be called upon to
answer for-if not indeed the most
stultifying.
And how is such a senseless and
damnable crime to be answered for,
by any sane, normal being? The spir-
it of such mob violence is that of abso-
lutte insanity. We are of the unalter-
able opinion that such diagnosis is
absolutely correct. 1t is, at the same
time, the charitable way in which such
indescribably barbarity can be con-
sidered.
Were one to contend that those who
were actively engaged in the murder
Gus frenzy of that mob in full pos
session of their normal senses, that
would only be to convict them of the
most cowardly and brutal murders
that can be conceived of. "The mig
gers started it," is the only excuse
that can be offered for the mental
weaklings who participated in this
human barbecue.
If any atonement can obliterate
from the souls of the participants re-
sponsibility for their monstrous act,
then such means of atonement should
Immediately be invoked. There has
been much mob violence in this coun-
try in years past, but never anything
that even approaches the scenes, de-
picted in public prints, that were en-
acted in that East st. Louis riot. Ev-
en- women and children were wantonly
murdered. That they were black
skinned is absolutely no excuse.
What kind of an excuse would you
think it for black man to murder a
white man, if he plead, che was just
a white!"
The innocent citizens, in that ill
fated city-those who were in no way
responsible for this indelible blot
will be forced to suffer, to degree at
least, for the mob's work. 1t will cost
that city dearly-and it should. It
will also leave stain upon the splen-
did State of Illinois, which only most
vigorous prosecution Of all those i'm
plicated in that holocast of horrors
can in a measure obliterate.

BOnne Terre
Incorporates

A franchise of incorporation of
Bonne Terre was granted by the Coun-
ty Court Tuesday, which ends the long
struggle that has been made by
many of the most enterprising citi-
zens of that town, during several
years past. Now that incorporation
has been perfected, very great handi-
cap under which that town has been
forced to labor has been removed,
which will enable it to press forward
to even better things.
A similar franchise for incorporat-
ing Flat River was also presented to
the County Court when it reconvened
yesterday, which was also favorably
yesterday. A contest developed over
this matter, however, and the Court
further hearing until July
18th, when the matter will again be
taken up.

noon it resembled basket dinner.
Music was furnished by Ste. Cen

eral addresses were given. County
Supt. of Schools j. Clyde Akers was
one of the speakers. Also in the af-
ternoon races and games were held
for the boy and girls and ball game
was played between a Knob Lick

themselves the passenger business
that Is handled by this line. We be-
lieve they will find that this line
handles perhaps as big a passenger
business as does any short line in the
entire country, with as little rolling
stock. Very often standing room is at
a premium. There are no empty cars
along the line. They are all in ac-
tual and active service. 1t is also
conceded that this road has the heav-
lest freight traffic of any road in the
world, considering its length. The
electric line also, from Flat River to
Pennington, which is a branch and
feeder for the M. R. & B. T. Railroad,
is usually crowded to fullest capacity.
Especially on the early morning and
late afternoon cars are passengers
crowded into the single coach like
sardines in the boX-even hanging on
to the guards and bumpers.
While this paper is pleased to see
the splendid business that is being
done by the NJ. R. & B. T. Railroad,
and hopes that it will ever increase,
we also would be more greatly pleas
ed if that company would willingly
add greater accommodation to its cleo
trio service, as well as more of those
splendid coaches now in use on its
main line, for the benefit of the trav-
cling public. If they will not will
ingly make necessary improvements
and additions to their equipment, then
we would insist that the Utilities
Board compel this line to make such
as are to be expected in
a well patronized railroad line. If
this company cannot now afford to
render to the public that for which
the public is forced to pay, then when
can they? If the company is not now
big money, then why did they,
not in the lean years that have passed,
force the property into the hands of
a receiver? They may not be max

Flattering Outlook

Local stockholders of the Ritz Mine,
which is located at Tar River, Okla,
received notice the first of the week
from those mines that they had pro-
duced during the month of June L.
100000 pounds of concentrates. From
such figures it is but a simple deduc-
tion that these mines are we'll "on
their feet" financially.
This is the company in which
Messrs. Marbury, Watson, Smith and
Graves hold very large interest. It is
such continuous news that is perpet-
uating that contagious smile on the
faces of these gentlemen. Their
many friends rejoice with them, and
hope the figures of production from
their mines will daily increase.
