The time has come in the history of Butler when City Attorney is about the most important office, We have our ownelectric light plant, the sewer problem must be solved at no distant day and other. important municipal matters that require a lawyer of ability and experience. We feel like congratulating the citizens of Butler on the announcement of Col. 8. W. Dooley, who thus signifies his willingness to fill the office. He is one of the very best lawyers at this bar, if not in southwest Missouri and with him in the office the people could rest assured that their legal rights would be safe guarded. E. P.

This is because there are entirely too and in the dickering and trading the best man does not always win, the voters becoming indifferent. But when it comes to a justice of our courts no voter can afford to be in- different, no difference what his poli- ties. These offices necessarily re- quire the very best talent that can be found, regardless of party pre- judices In this connection we ven- ture the assertion that the superior of Judge Graves for the supreme bench cannot be found in the district. He is certainly the peer of any man who will seek the position and in our esti- mation the best one. At any rate the party cannot more strengthen its ticket than to give the Judge the nomination he seeks, This muchcan be said with absolute certainty.— Amsterdam Tempest. Will Confer With Leaders.

Washington, Feb, 17,—Thefbill to repeal the war tax act passed the house unexpectedly at 2:10 o’clock this afternoon. The rule to prevent the discussion desired by the Demo- crats was passed by a party vote. Mr. Richardson, (Democrat), of] Tennessee, the floor leader, then an- nounced that debate would be fruit- less, and as everyone was for the bill he asked unanimous consent that the measure be placed upon its pas- sage immediately. His suggestion caused a sensation on the Republican side, but was in- stantly accepted amid laughter and applause, The bill then was passed on a yea and nay vote demanded by Mr. Payne, the Republican floor and 46 inch Serges, Henriettas, and Cheviots for skirts and tailor-made suits, worth from 50¢ to Tic, at 30c to 39e.

Washington, Feb. 15.—Postmas- ter-General Payne makes the official announcement that fourth class post- masters henceforth will be removed for cause only.
