Judge Silvers is a lawyer of experience and recognized ability. He came to Bates county when a small boy and has spent his whole life among our peo- ple, educated in our public schools and his every interests have been allied with our people.

The Republican Press, forced by The Times to change its tacticstin its frantic efforts to put the financial condition of Bates county into a false light, has desisted from its contention that Bates county is now $50,000 in debt, and in the issue of June 3, de- liberately stoops to make a most pal- pable misrepresentation in regard to ~ the “Bates County Blue Book,”’ and makes the- following assertion: “We respectfully refer The Times to page 13 of the Blue Book issue in Feb. 1910, showing the liabilities of Bates county Jan. 31, 1910. This book was issued by County Clerk, C. G. Weeks and certainly is good ~ Democratic authority on the county finances. Under the head of “Lia- bilities” there is a little item reading as follows: ‘Estimated interest due on protested warrants $3000.” This is a deliberate mis-statement, dealing, and he has always led a just ; and upright life. Mr. Gragg owns a fine farm which he: bought and paid | for since coming to the county, by! industry and frugality. He has al- ways taken an active interest in the success of the Democratic party, and | this is the first time he ever asked | for county office. He is thoroughly | trustworthy, fully competent to per- - would make a strong nominee. W. H. LOWDER | An old and highly esteemed citizen | of New Home township, is asking the Democrats of the south district for the nomination of County Judge. Mr. Lowder is a pioneer citizen of Bates county and one of her millitant Democrats. There have been few conventions and important confer- county, and she has no more popular citizen within her borders. He has ever been an active Democratic work- er, while, popular with voters of all parties. “T voted against the tariff bill be- courteous gentleman.

I ama Republican and am adhering faithfully to the fundamental princip- les and policies of the party to which I belong, and I protest against that great party being made by any con- gressional oligarchy the handmaiden of the special interests of the coun- U. S. Senator from Kansas. Senator Aldrich finds by stating that the Republican administration squanders $300,000,000 of the people’s money annually, he has placed in the hands of Democrats a powerful weap- on. He is worried over it, and now regrets being so candid and truthful when momentarily off his guard. If form the duties of the office and | he had any of the instincts of Govern- | or Hadley, and was half as reckless | with the truth, he would simply | | solemnly swear that he never said it, | and let it go at that. The Republican party holds Uncle Sam up for $7,126,000 a year for de- tectives. And yetnone of the high- priced bunch were lynx-eyed enough to detect the thief who stole $61,500 from the subtreasury in St. Louis under the administration of the man who was afterwards promoted to the postmastership of the Mound City. 13, as alleged by Bro. does show a statement l ties on January 31, 1909, a difference gen- would President Taft is to deliver tivecol- lege commencement addresses this month, and he will return to Wash- ington with five more LL.D. degrees. He may be satisfactory to the colleges as a “‘doctor of laws,’’ but in doctor- ing the laws at the capital he has proven a conspicuous failure. f———__-__} if Dallas Lunk’s cottage on East Main street, Adrian, Mo., caught fire Sat- morning and burned to.

Superintendent C. A. Burke, | Butler, Missouri. | | Dear Sir:—Recently the Secretary | lof the Committee on Accredited Schools visited the Butler High School.

In the new building, as you, of course, will understand, there should be a study hall. At present the-effi- ‘ciency of the work in the High School is impaired by the fact that the stu- dents have to study in a room while there are others reciting. This dis- tracts both students and teacher. |The present building cannot be changed | with-advantage so as to provide for a study hall and also for a room for the \class work. | As you also understand, better \teachers are needed for the work in| History and English. The committee is pleased to note that the work in these subjects will be improved next | year by a change of teachers. and | consequently makes no change in| credit on account of inferior work during this year. Finally, | might |mention the fact that the closets | should be kept in better condition and that the plastering appears to be un- safe in the Latin room and should be rej These suggestions are made only in the spirit of helpful- ness, and we are sure that you will receive them in the spirit in which they are given. best wishes for your work in emg 1 the educational interests of utler, Iam, bis | i | very sincere T COURSAULT, Secretary.

Butier merchants have advertised in the past few years as never before in the history of that town. They evidently believe that it pays. In last week’s Times are three full-page ads and two other large ones almost full- page in size, besides the regulation advertising. Many merchants be- lieve that when the times are dull it does not pay to advertise. But that is a grave mistake. It is at such times that the heaviest advertising should be done in the newspapers. When times are flush and people are ready to buy anyway, the merchants’ window displays are good advertise- ments in themselves. In the dull season a bargain looks bigger to the head of a family or the housewife than at any other time, and then is world shows that proper advertising always pays. “Jack the Peeper’ is prowling around in Rich Hill at night and has been caught looking in the windows of several residences. The Review “This peeping, intruding busi- ness has been going on in the East End for a long tiine past, presumably by one and the same person, and will doubtless continue (as repeated warn- ings have been given by those thus annoyed without effect) until a new mound makes its appearance in Green Lawn Cemetery, for it is common knowledge in the East End that all kinds of fire arms. have been cleaned and primed, and are being held in readiness for such a time as this vis- itor decides to call and scare the life | out of the women folks and chil- dren.” Ballard.

Washington, D. C., June 6.—Rep- resentative James T. Lloyd, of Mis- souri, with his Democratic colleagues on the House Committee on Post Of- fices and Post Roads, completed a substitute bill for the Republican postal savings bank bill, to be report- ed in the House to-morrow, The minority measure will be in ac- cordance with the platform of the Democratic party adopted at the Den- ver convention. Mr. Lloyd said the Democratic substitute will be superior to the bill of the Republicans, be- cause it will contain provisions to “keep the money at home." It will be ironefad in providing that the money be deposited in banks in the towns where the original deposit is made at the Post Office. The Republican leaders in the when the dealer should name his House believe now that the way is | lowest possible prices in the newspa- | smooth for the passage of the postal pers.

With the report- |ing of the bill a rule will be brought |in, agreed to by both regular and in- | surgent Regublicans, which will give eight hours of debate on either side, and which will prevent the amending of the measure. By this rule the privilege of pres- jenting a substitute will be allowed | Democrats. The Senate leaders are planning to accept the House bill as it | passes without amendment. “Sleeth’’ the Insurance Man. 18-tf Special School Election. | Notice is hereby given that on | Tuesday, June 21st, 1910, an election will be held by the qualified voters in Butler.School District, in Bates coun- ty, State of Missouri, at which elec- tion a proposition will be submtted | to voters of said district to purchase \a site, to-wit: That part of block 15, in Montgomery's second addition to Butler, known as the Aaron Hart property, for the purpose of erecting thereon a High School Building, fur- | nishing and equipping the same asa modern high school for the use of the district; and for the purpose of auth- orizing the issuing of bonds of the said district in the sum of thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000) from which to raise money to purchase said site and erect said building, furnish and equip the same; said bonds to run for a period of twenty (20) years, but re- deemable at the pleasure of the said district after five (5) years.
