MUST PAY FOR PAPER


Jurge James Ellison of the Kansas
City Court of Appeals handed down
the following desision in the case of
o. D. Austin of Beates county, Record
VS.. Burge, other members concurring
and published in 1877 S. w. S. Rep.
p. 1853.
~The preparation and publication
of newspapers involves much mental
and physical labor as well as an OUT
lay of money. One who accepts the
paper by continuously taking it from
the postoffice receives a benefit and
pleasure from such labor and expendi-
tures as fully as if he had appropriat-
ed any other product of another's la
Dor and by such act he must be held
liable for subscription price.
Judge George Thomas of Colum-
bus, Ohio, reaffrmed this principle in
a suit brought by the Columbus Tele-
gram against a subscriber for s2.S5.
The Telegram had been sent to the de-
fendant's home and he had accepted
the paper. When bill was presented
he refused to pay it and suit was
brought. After hearing the evidence
Judge Thomas instructed the jury to
bring verdict for the Telegram up
on the common law that what man
received and used he was bound to
pay for.
When a publisher Of a newspaper
forwards it regularly by mail, directed
TO one who takes il from the postoffce
hut, who refuses, upon demand. to
pay at the usual times and rates, de-
nying that he is subscriber but con-
tinues thereafter to receive the paper
as before giving no further notice to
the publisher the law win imply q
promise to pay according to the usual
terms. One who receives and re-
tains q newspaper regularly sent %
him Is bound to pay for it.-Newspa-

MAN AND FAMILY DROVE
INTO MISSOURI RIVER

The Sunday Moberly Globe Demo-
crat gives the following account of
a drowning in the Missouri River, on
account of the wash of the road bed
by the river, and also, because those
responsible did not see that the road
at that place was blocked so that
such thing could not happen.
"a man by the name of Sanders,
with his wife and two children, in a
Ford car, drove into the Missouri
river Saturday night at about
o'clock at a point about five miles
south of Dalton.
The wife and two children were
drowned. The man succeeded in
reaching shore in safety.
The accident occurred at a point
where the river had cut into the bank
and it being dark, the driver did not
realize the danger until it was too
late.
Mrs. Sanders was a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Tony Miller of Bruins
wick.

HERTLE BRALEY, IN POOR
HEALTH KILLS SELF

Despondent because of ill health,
and fearful that he was losing con-
troll of his mental faculties, Hertle
Braley, aged 40 years, took his own
life about 5 o'clock last Saturday
morning, at the home of a sister, Mrs.
John Raw, 324 East Lake street.
The act of self destruction was evil
IDENTIFY carefully planned. The un-
fortunate man rose early, before the
rest of the family was up, and going
quietly into the kitchen, took the 10
guage shot gun belonging to his
young nephew, Tony Raw. Placing
the muzzle against his right temple,
he discharged the weapon, the load of
shot tearing through the top of his
head. The family heard the noise of
his fall and the sound of the gun
simultaneously, and when they rush
ed into the kitchen Braley was gasp
ing for breath, being unable to speak
after firing the shot.
Mr.. Braley, who is coal miner,
was injured in the mine at Waverly,
so it is reported, and last winter an
operation was performed on him. At
terward he underwent a second opera
tion. He had four sons and one
daughter, the oldest son, Clarence, be-
ing 15 year old. This son lived with
an aunt, Mrs. John Mitchell, at Buck
lin, and Braley was endeavoring to
care for the other children at Waver-
.ly. He came to- Marceline July 4, and
has been with his sister since, Mrs.
Raw endeavoring to care for the child
Iren as best she could, being handi-
capped by poor eyesight.
Braley's poor health and worry
about the children are supposed to
have unbalanced his mind, and he
brooded over it continually, having
complained recently of bad head
ache which he could not relieve.
Five sisters are left. Mrs. John Raw

Here is a chance for farmers to
learn just how their neighbors in
Charlton County are trying to do
these things. Of course, they are not
all successful, but by visiting these
farms we may get lot of ideas how
difficulties are overcome.
The first day will be spent in the
vicinity of Salisbury, starting next
Wednesday morning, Aug. 2 at 900
a. m. at the farm of Mr.. Leach and
Mr.. Blakey near Shannondale. Our
old friend and neighbor, Mr.. Sam Jor-
dan will be with US in the afternoon
and will make an address probably at
the farm of Wilbur Hutchinson's at
1870 p. m. The afternoon will be
spent visiting other farms in that
part of the county.
On Thursday we will start near
Keytesville at the farm of Uriah
Mason where we will look at his short
horns and Poland Chinas. The re-
mainder of the day will be spent
travelling in the vicinity of Dalton and
Brunswick. Mr.. Jordan will speak at
the farm of Mr.. Sam Jordan:s north
of Brunswick at 100 o'clock. On
Friday we will visit farms in the
neighborhood of MendoH and Sumner
starting Friday morning at the farm
of Freeman Kinkade.
Saturday will be spent in the vicin-
ity of Rothville and Sumner visiting
some of the best dairy herds in this
part of the state.
We hope that a large number of
farmers will take advantage of this
opportunity to look over the farms
in the county where other folks are
making an effort to do a few things
well.
Come on, let's go, and make this
tour worth while.
Call the Farm Bureau office at
Keytesville for definite information.

THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE
STERNER SHOOTING CASE

Formal charges of interference with
federal officers in making an arrest
were dismissed in the case of the six
teen men who were arrested in a
gambling house at the Sharpshooters'
Park, from which shot was fired,
fatally wounding Prohibition Agent
Charles Sterner, a member of Gus o..
Nations squad, during liquor raid
on the place June 18th.
The men appeared for preliminary
hearing Thursday afternoon before
United States Commissioner Atkins.
Atkins announced that the govern
ment's charges had been dropped for
lack of evidence. Nations stated that
he was continuing the investigation,
but that the evidence already gathered
did not warrant holding the men under
bonds. He said that new charges
would be filed in case further informa-
tion was obtained.
The liquor charges against the men
remain, and the preliminary hearing
before United States Commissioner
Berry had been set for August Is.
Sterner was shot from a window in
an outbiulding in which the sixteen
men were alleged to have been gam
bling while the federal agents were
searching the saloon for liquor. He
died a week later. A st. Louis
coroner's jury failed to fix the re-
sponsibility for the shooting.

RALPH LozIER AT LINNEus

~ 80 [ y
Ralph Lozier showed another one
of his Sinking spells at Linneus at
a public speaking affair last Friday
night. It seemed that he forgot
a certain meeting where he stated GER
tain things in connection with the
Hon. w. w. Rucker. 1t happened Mr..
Rucker was in the audience on that
particular occasion, and he arose in
his might and righteous indignation
and contradicted Mr.. Lozier. This
was in the 1916 campaign. Again
last Friday he made the same state
ment, and the Linneus Bulletin, one
Of Judge Fuckers strongest newspa-
per hackers came out in the last is.
sue as follows: 1t is good reading,
right to the point, and the Courier is
glad to reproduce:
''The thing that surprised us most
however, in Mr.. Lozier's talk was his
reference to the little controversy
which arose between him and Con-
gresham Rucker on the platform in
the Linneus Park in their campaign
of 1916 and in which he claimed last
night, that the records supported him
in his contention that Judge Rucker
did not introduce in the House and
engineer through that body the bill
making the popular election of U. S.
Senator's part of the constitution of
the United States. Mr.. Lozier is ex-
ceedingly forgetful if he does not re-
member that when in making his
speech on that 1916 occasion he
challenged Judge Fuckers right to
the claim Of being the author of that
measure, whereupon Judge Rucker
arose to his feet and told Mr.. Lozier
in the presence Of that big audience,
that if the congressional records did
not support him in his claim of being
author of the bill he would imme-
diately withdraw from the congress
sional race, whereupon the con-
gressional record was consulted,
then and there, and the correctness
of Judge Rucker's claim was sus-
tanned by it in the presence Of that
big audience. We are not only sur
prised but amazed that Mr.. Lozier
would refer to that circumstance in
the presence of people who were
present when it occurred and wit
messed the yindication of Judge
Fuckers position, by the congressional
record furthermore we viii call
the readers attention to the leading
editorial on page two of this paper in
which appear quotations from Viii
liam Jennings Bryan, who as Secre-
tary of State signed the document
and from Floor Leader Claude X.
Kitchen, and ask you whom do you
consider the best authority in the
premises, Lawyer Lozier or former
Secretary of State Bryan and Demo-
cratic Floor Leader Kitchen"
The Courier also produces on page
two the statements as referred to by
the Linneus Bulletin.

TO THE VOTERS OF
CHARLTON COUNTY

~
I respectfully ask that this letter be
accepted as a personal appeal to you
and to each voter connected with your
households men and women, alike.
T During the time I have had the
honor OF serving you in Congress,
many perplexing Legislative problems
have arisen. Congress has enacted
many wise, progressive and beneficial
measures looking to the utmost well
fare of the whole people and several
Constitutional Amendments have been
submitted to the states, among them
amendments changing the manner Of
electing Senators of the United States
and extending the ballot to women.
In executing the trust you repose in
me, have actively advocated and
voted for all measures, which, in my
judgment, would be beneficial to our
Nation. Especially have been ac-
tive and jealous in support of all
measures pertaining to the interests
of those engaged in agricultural pur-
suits.
Though the contests for nomination
have been frequent sometimes spirit
ed, itegives me a great deal of satis-
faction to remind you that no OPP
ponent has ever assailed my. official
record. With presenting any charges
against me, or against the integrity
of my services, you are urged and
invited to bring about my defeat for
the sole and only purpose of gratify-
ing the political ambition of another.
1t has been my endeavor at all times
to render you, that character Of SER
vice which you have the right to ex-,
pect from one who has been chosen
as your official representative, and
which would entitle me to your sup
port.
My belief is that loyal and devoted
service does not entitle me to re-
pudiation at you, hand in the abseree
of some logical reason therefor.
My appeal for your support is bas-
ed on the services rendered. If my
efforts. have been satisfactory to you,
I shall gratefully appreciate your
vote and active influence. May /
present faithful performance of my
duties in the past as guarantee of
my devotion of the welfare of my
country, my party and my consti-
tuentsrin the futures II you should
see fit to again honor me, shall con-
tinue to discharge my duties and OBJ
legations in such manner as 10 merit
your approval and continued conf
dence.-
1t is my sincere hope that at the
coming primary, all men and women
who approve my work will give me
their cordial support, and if successful
I shall, in the future as in the past,
serve you with promptness, efficiency
and fidelity, and so guard my actions
that no man or woman shall have
cause to regret the confidence reposed
in me.
With kindest personal regards and
best wishes, remain, very truly yours
w. w. RUCKER.

of them when the injury occurred and
to certain extent incapacitated him

associated with him at Waverly speak
in the highest terms of the man, and
were shocked to learn of his unfor-

HOW MANY HAS HE
SPANKED?

With no intent to be personal at
all--but just seeking for information
how many babies of his own has
Jim Reed ever spanked? One might
judge from his ridicule of women who
never spanked a baby of their own
that his household shelters a large
and constantly increasing family.

babies ?-Gallatin Democrat.

THE LAWYER

An expression from one of Ameri-
cas- foremost ministers-"The' lawyer
is the constituted guardian, the sworn
minister of justice, all classes of men
come alike under the mantle of his
protection. Life, liberty, honor and
estate all in their turn, are committed
to his trust. He is under the bow of
the truest knight-errantry, going
forth armed with knowledge and vir-
tue to address all human wrongs. The
prisoner waits for him to unlock the
door of his dungeon and restore him
once more the joys of freedom. The
criminal in the dock hangs in the
dreadful suspense between life and
DEATH. upon his eloquence; to reprieve
him from the scaffold. The fatherless
and the widow appeal to him for pro-
lection against the perjury which
would violate the most sacred of
trusts, and turn them out to beggary
and want. He plueks the fangs from
beneath the tongue of SANDER, when
it would stain the honor of the good
and poison the very life of life itself.
He unravels the plot of averice and
cunning of malice, treachery and re-
venge when these dire passions form
their foul conspiracy against the
peace and happiness of our homes.
The whisper of long hidden guilt and
the sadder story of wrong which can
not be avenged pour their confidence
into his ear; and the secret anguish
of dark and bitter years is laid bare
to his inspection. When all these pas
sages of human life have been trodden
he stands at the very portals of eter-
nifty and shares the funeral exper-
fences of a dying hour. His hand
traces the last will and testament in
which love looks back as from beyond
the tomb, to shield the objects of it's
fond solicitude."
In view of all of this dependence
what other class of men are entitled
to as high a degree of respect, con-
fidence and esteem as the LAWYER?. ?.

The Candidate for Circuit Judge

Considered from all viewpoints the
selection of a circuit judge is the most
important so far as the rank and file
of the citizens of this district are con-
cerned that will devolve upon the
voters at next Tuesdays election.
The Circuit Judge should be calm,
deliberate, unbiased and absolutely
fair as man; he should be as well or
better versed in the knowledge of law
as the lawyers who are trying cases
before him, otherwise he cannot pro-
tect the interests of litigants, nor the
interests of the taxpayers, in keeping
down exorbitant costs in civil and
criminal cases.
The average voter is ordinarily not
in position to determine the fitness
and qualifications of a candidate for
a judicial position. II you were about
to undergo serious surgical opera
tion you would naturally take the ad-
vice of your family physicia in whom
you have confidence. If you were 60
ing to build house you would have
an experienced carpenter or architect
figure the plans and the cost. If you
were making business venture and
were unfamiliar with the business you
would seek the advice of some person
who had expert knowledge of that
business. The selection of a Circuit
Judge is real business for everybody.
No man knows what day he may have
an important civil or criminal suit
be brought against him in the Circuit
Court. Naturally in such an event he
would mant competent judge on the
BENCH.
One Of the candidates for Circuit
Judge has been telling the voters of
this district that ALL of the lawyers
are opposed to him.
ALL of the lawyers say that this
one candidate is not qualified in tenn
permanent, or in legal ability and
knowledge of the law, to fill the posi-
tion. They say the other candidate
is. Before you vote for Circuit
Judge next Tuesday why don't you,
as matter of good judgment and in
the exercise of good sense, ask some
lawyer in whom you have confidence
enough to trust your business affairs
to tell you why he is for one of the
candidates and against the other. It
can't be true that ALL of the lawyers
are against this one candidate because
of prejudice. Would it not be a good
business policy to find out about the
matter before you vote?
You take your lawyers advice and
consult his judgment where your lib
erty is involved, where your property
rights are involved, in writing your
will, in making provision for your
wife and family when you are gone.
There is nothing too important, too sa-
cred or too confidential to discuss with
your lawyer. Why not discuss this
matter with him?
