A public official is judged by his record. John W. McFadden has been presiding Judge of Bates county for nearly four years and the business affairs of the county were never managed better from its or- ganization. During his administra- tion nearly a half hundred substan: tial iron bridges were built, more than in any previous eight years, Besides, during that period, unprecedented floods have, visited the county, carrying awhy and dam- aging the bridges spanning the prin- cipal streams, all of which have been replaced and repaired. A fifty thousand dollar court house proposition had been voted under a previous court and the con- tract let and the house built for about that amount. Several thou- sand dollars was used to furnish this public building. But provision had been made for a levy of only 15 mills on the assessed valuation, for three years, to pay for the court house. The assessed valuation of the coun- ty, of all property, is about ten mil- Vion dollars, and if every dollar of that levy had been collected, at no expense, the amount would have been only forty-five thousand dol- lars. But of course the delinquencies and costs of collection reduced that amount several thousand dollars, and the difference had to be paid out of the general revenues of the coun- ty. So successfully has the finances been managed by the court, presided over by Judge McFadden, that those extraordinary, but necessary expen- ses haveall been met, besides the current expenses paid and all county property kept up. The county poor farm, under the old system employed by former courts, of renting the farm to the superintendent and paying for the board of the inmates, was unsatie- factory and expensive, The court took charge of the farm, employed an overseer, stocked the place and ie farming it and this year have raised enongh to support the inmates, feed the stock and keep up the improve- ments. In other words, by good Management the court has put the farm on a practically self sustaining basis. The proposition to straighten the Marias des Cygnes river and thereby stop the overflow and redeem thous- ands of acres of the mostfert:le lands in the county, had strong adherents and bitter, uncompromising oppo- sition. Judge McFadden was not favorably impressed with the prop o- sition on ite face, but refused to act on prejudice. He gave the matter much thought and study, and visit- ed other states where similar work had been done and was under course of construction. He saw that it had been an unqualified success under similar conditions to this, and as an honest, conscientious official, he disregarded selfish interests that would have prompted him to tempo- risa in the face of the strong oppo- sition, and granted the prayer of the petitioners. The work will be push- ed through to completion as fast as possible, considering the magnitude of the undertaking and the various interests effected. The action of the court is final and another county court could not do other than carry out its provisions under the law, but unfriendly, prejudiced judges might and work ahardship upon thedrain- age district. None but friends of this great enterprise should be placed in control of {¢ until ite completion. The claims made for Judge McFad- den by hie friends that he was a Notice ts hereby given that the Democratic Central Committee will meet at Butler, Mo, Saturday, Oct 6sb, 1906 at 2 o’clock p. m. for the purpose of transacting such busi- ness that may come before it.

The event of the season in the four hundred of sho East side, was the church wedding of Miss Arzelia Welker, and Mr. Marshall Lewis, of Kansas City. Rev. Abbott officiated. The bride’s father, Jack Walker gave away the bride. The bride was handsomely gowned in silks and laces and the ring was a genuine sparkler. The groom is re puted quite wealthy. Special invita- tions were extended to a number of the white “Four hundred,” and they responded with alacrity. The church was beautitully decorated and bril- Hantly lighted for the occasion, A splendid wedding supper was fur- nished directly after the ceremony. Rey. Amack, the new South Metho- diet minister preached his first ser- mon Sunday morning to a good audience. Tue Times extends to Rev. Amack and wife a hearty wel- come to our city and hopes the Rev- erened gentleman will be well pleased with his appointment and do much good for his church and cause dur- ing the year.

Cass county sent five prisoners to the penitentiary last week. Three of them were young men and were sent up for burglarising care at Pleasant Hill. Charles Williams, for forgery gave his age as 64 years, 2 andon his arrival at the peniten “ary was picked out as an old offen- ; der as the recurde at the peniten- tlary showed that he had served two terms. C. W. Hagin, another of the prisoners had served three terms be- fore. The advertising account of the Jones Dry Goods company of Kan- sas City with the Star and Times last year amounted to $156,000 or an average of $429.39 a day. The Jones company began business a few years ago in a modest way and to- day their store in Kansas City occu- pies one block and their business is something enormous.
