Senator Dial should have known better than TO stir up Judge
Kenesaw Mountain Lands. 1t appears that the Judge was acting
within the scope Of official duty when, before finishing the case OF
the youthful cmbezzler, he took occasion to deliver a little lee
ture to the banker, on the subject Of paying decent wages. We
don't understand that the court condoned the crime Of the teller
but he did make it clear that he held the banker responsible in a
measure for creating the set OF circumstances which caused the
young man to fall. OF course, there is the possibility that the
language used by Judge Lands may be construed to mean that he
justified the crime Of the teller but there is no reason to believe
that it was 50 intended. The judge may have shown some lack
OF judicial temperament when he made a pcppery personal at
tack on Senator Dial, in response to the latters criticism, but III
the light Of his long and useful career on the bench, it can scarcely
be argued that he isn't qualified for his position.

lie schools back Of 1870. Soon after
the Civil war, the public school system
Of the town was developed and school
after school added, a high school Great
ed, until the public school system of
Mexico became equal to that of any
town of it's size in the state. In 1858
an effort was made to establish
school exclusively for girls on the
grounds afterwards occupied by Har-
din College. Five Thousand dollars
was donated by William Kirtey, John
p. Beatty, J. M. Gordon, M. Y. Dun
can, John P. Clark, C. P. Wade, S.
w. Davis and r, w. Sinclair and
frame building was erected.
School was begun and conducted
successfully by Professors Shelton
and William P. Hurt, until the Civil
war closed its doors. This school laid
the foundation for a girls school in
Mexico. In May, 1873, Gov, Charles
H. Hardin purchased these grounds
and with donation by him of $40,-
900 established Hardin College. The
corner stone for Hardin College was
Elaid July 23, 1874, with much cere-
nony in which participated all of the
Masonic orders, the Odd Fellows and
all other societies in Mexico.
In about 1873 Howard NJ. Hamill
established a school for boys on Jack
son street, in the brick house now
part>of the Amanda Hospital. 1t con-
tinued three years and ranked high
in its class.
In 1891 Colonel A. F. Fleet, from
the Missouri University established
the Missouri Military Academy, with
an able corps Of assistants. It be-
came one of the leading military
schools Of the West. Unfortunately
dit was destroyed by fire in October,
1895.
In 1901, aided by the citizens Of
Mexico, A. x. Yancy and w. I'D.
Fonville established military school
under the name Of the first schol Of
, that kind - Mexico. 1t continued to
flourish under these gentlemen until
Mr.. Yancy's death a few years ago,
and being continued under w. D. Fon-
vile until 1911 and today under the
Ipresent management one of the big
military schools of the country.
In 1879 William Pollock established
the Mexico City Mills which have for
number of years been known as the
William Pollock Milling g. Elevator
Company.
Mexico and vicinity produces fine
quality of fire clay and several efforts
have been made to establish fire brick
works at this place, the most success
full of which is the A. P. Green Brick
& Fire Clay Company.
In 1906 Morris Brothers of st. Louis
established at Mexico a shoe factory
with capital of $4,000. It has a
weekly payroll of $1,000. Ut was
later transferred to the International
Shoe Co.
Another thing in which Mexico is
famous is it's saddle horse industry.
AS carly as 1867 c. T. Quisenberry
located at Mexico, introduced into the
county from Kentucky, the horse
known as Missouri Clay. a famous
line Of stations since that time has
been Royal Gold Dust, brought here
