After Full Investigation.

An unusual full page adver-

The sole purpose is to correct
public opinion which prevails

LEGISLATURE DOINGS.
By Frank Bowman.

by FRANK bowman.
The Hawes good roads bill has
passed both Houses and signed
by the Governor. In it's passage
one of the important measures
before this session has been dis
posed Of. 1t will bring about a
complete change in the matter
of roads, and will prove benef-
cial to those counties desiring to
participate in the federal aid
money. There was a hard fight
from beginning to end, the main
feature being to rob Represen-
tative Hawes of the honor of be-
ing it's author,
The bill abo!ishing convict
labor at the penitentiary has
passed both houses. Hereafter
all cOnvicts will be employed by
the State in various ways and
will be under control of a board
giving its entire attention to
making the "pen" a paying in
stitution. We hope the claims
of the administration will be
realized, but we have doubts, and
expects it to prove a more costly
experiment to the taxpayers
than in the past.
One by one the administra-
tion measures are moving on to
final passage.
A dry" bill engrossed SUBJ
mits to a vote of the people a
constitutional amendment con-
corning the prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors within the State
of Missouri. The amendment is
: as follows, and will likely be
passed:
That at the general election
to be held on the first Tuesday
following the first Monday in
November, 1918, the following
amendment to tine Constitution
of Missouri, concerning prohibit
tion, shall be submitted to the
, qualified voters of said state, to-
wit:
Section /. The manufacture
of Intoxicating liquors is here
by prohibited in this state ex-
cept, for medicinal, scientific or
mechanical purposes. The sale
of Intoxicating liquors is also
f hereby prohibited in this state
!. except, for medicinal, scientific
or mechanical purposes. The
: manufacture or sale Of wine for
y religious or sacramento pur-
poses is also excepted. This
constitutional provision shall
? not take effect until January
1st, 1920"
I The WOrkmen's Compensation
measure has been engrossed by
the House. The talk is that it
K will be killed on final passage.
+ A constitutional amendment
t introduced provides for engross-
ing and enrolling all bills in type
; writer form instead of long
a hand, as is now in vogue. 1t is
; along the right line, as much
: useless expense to the State is
involved under the present meth.
