FOX, When the news of the sudden and unexpected death at St. Louis of Judge James D. Fox, Chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court, was flashed over the wire last Thursday, | the legal profession of this State and | the people at large, felt that they had | sustained an irreparable loss. Judge Fox was born at Frederick- | town, Missouri, in 1847, and had been on the Circuit and Supreme Bench of this state for thirty years. It is said| of him that lawyers practising in his court, preferred to waive a jury, and submit their cases to his clear and unbiased judgment, and an appeal was rarely taken from his decision. Nature had endowed Judge Fox most liberally. Of large physique and enjoying splendid health, he was possessed of a brilliant intellect and engaging manners. At all times painstaking and exact in the perform- ance of his duties, he still had time to gotoa friend in need of his assist- ance. He has, by his many admirable qualities of head and heart, his manly bearing and uniformly courteous de- meanor, greatly endeared himself not only to his associates on the bench and among the legal fraternity, but to the citizens of the state at large. Judge Fox was an ardent supporter of the Democratic party, and was ever at the forefront, fighting for the principles of true Democracy, of which he was so splendid an exam- | ple. No monument we might erect to his memory would be so enduring as the monument he has himself uncon- sciously builded in the splendid opin- ions he wrote while on the bench. They stand out in the field of legal literature like the mountain peaks in _jare complying with it. -|use of teacher and pupils. | BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS | AND TEACHERS. | county Superintendent P. M. Allison. I would like for the teachers and district clerks to read Sec. 10899 of the school law and see how well they been able to find but a very few that have given this any attention at all. One clerk has written a letter about this toa peace officer that he would not have written had he known the facts in the case. The reports are coming in from the first section of the reading circle and I am pleased to say they are in most cases very encouraging. All teachers who are attending express themselves as well pleased with the work and some of our best teachers are most enthusiastic over the work. A few, however, stand aloof and by their actions say they know all they care to or that they can not get anything from the work. I sincerely believe we can all get something from the work if it is nothing more than the satisfaction that we have helped the others. The first school visited this week was Black in Summit township. They have an enrollment of 31 with 26 present on that day and it was a very rainy day. This is one of our best schools and the people take a good interest in the work and keep their building up in good condition. They have a nine months’ term of school and a fine working library for the This is the first school we have made a test in and they have made a good show- ing. Miss Mabel Sleeth is teacher and has her work well classified and will teach them a good school. Summit Center has an enrollment of 27 and 24 were in attendance. Mrs. Luolla Campbell is teacher and is doing good work. This school made a good showing on the test and no more willing workers are to be found. Harmony has an enrollment of 48 with 43 present. This is another well equipped school and while the attendance is rather large the work | buildings in the county and they keep jand others maintain that they have They have an en-|had a month of school.

This school has no pupil above the sixth grade but they are all good workers. W. F. Cox is teacher and while he has not been taking part in the reading circle work he is going to take it up and help make the work of his township is not so much crowded as many others that have a much less enroll- ment. This is due to the fact that Miss Myrtle Randall, the teacher, fol- lows the course of study as the teach- er last year did and her work is far easier as a result. Miss Randall has her work well in hand and with the co-operation of the patrons will make her work very successful. school made a good showing on the test given them. Griggs has an enrollment of 32 and 26 were present. This school is well equipped and they have money on hand for more supplies this year. Miss Ruth Rush is teacher and is do- ing good work for them. The pupils are willing workers and do well on a test. Enterprise, in Spruce township, has an enrollment of 24 and 24 were present. E. W. Stephens is teacher and is doing good work, but owing to failing health thinks he may not be able to teach the school out. This district needs some equipment. Elm Grove has an enrollment of 14 with 12 present. Miss Hoyland Rog- the desert, and are quoted and adopt- ed with approval in every State in the Union. His death has caused a loss to the State which all good citizens will greatly lament and deplore, and we extend to the surviving wife and oth- er members of his family, our condo- lence and sympathy in their great loss and sorrow. It is gratifying to learn, says the Republic, that an earnest effort will be made to induce President Taft to re-appoint former Senator Cockrell of Missouri to the Interstate Com- merce Commission. The term of the distinguished Missouri member will expire ina few months. Gossip has represented that the President in- tends to make a change. Friends of Senator Cockrell are justified in hop: ing this will not be done, and found their efforts in his behalf on the good record he has made during his serv- ice as a member of the commission. At last President Taft has adopted one of the policies of his illustrious predecessor, Colonel Roosevelt, and is going out after free newspaper ad- vertising. Through his “Aunt Delia” ers is teacher and is well pleased with her school and we understand the patrons are well pleased with the teacher. She has her work well classified and is not bothered with a great number of classes. Oak Grove, in Deep Water town- ship, has an enrollment of 35 with 33 present. They have an enumeration of 60 in this district but quite a few of those enumerated are married and are busied with home affairs so the enrollment is not so great. Miss Nellie Harvey is teacher and seems to be doing well with her work. This is another well equipped school. Cherry Grove has an enrollment of 38 with 36 present. The pupils of this school are good workers and take a good interest in the work. J. C. Maxey is teacher and would like very much to have his school on the ap- proved list. Johnstown has an enrollment of 38 and 38 were present. This school has an enrollment of small pupils, the greater part being in the first three grades. Mrs. Nannie Gilliland is teacher and is doing fine work for them and best of all the people appre- ciate her work. This} a success. The pupils made a good showing on the test. Bryan has an enrollment of 29 and 26 were present. Miss Lydia Rex- road is teacher and while she has not succeeded in classifying her work as well as she would like_she has it very much better than she found it last year. She is doing them good work and all are well pleased. McKinley has an enrollment of 49 and 43 were present. This school is short on seating capacity and if all should attend now they could not furnish them with seats. well equipped school and has the largest library of any country school, having 242 volumes besides quite a number of classics. Miss Iva Dale is teacher and is doing fine work for them. This school has a very large primary class, Crawford has an enrollment of 25 with 23 present. This is another fine school house and ihey have a fine yard if they only had it fenced. Mrs. C. C. Woods is teacher and is doing good work as she always does. This school will have several graduates next year. Mingo has an enrollment of 40 with 31 present. This is another good building and well equipped. Miss Minnie Holwell is teacher and is do- ing good work for them. The pupils made a good showing on the test given them. They have a nice yard here and have it fenced so they can take care of it. Coleville was not in session and some say that it has not started yet O.

Keytesville, Mo., Oct. 8.—Consid- erable comment has been aroused among Democrats here because of the fact that under the frank of Con- gressman W. B. McKinley, of Illinois, chairman of his party’s Congressional Committee, Democrats of this and other vicinities in Chariton county nave been receiving copies of re-| marks made in Congress by Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, son-in-law of Colonel Roosevelt, on the tariff, Charles F, Lamkin, of the firm of Minter & Lamkin, is one of the many to whom literature of this sort came free of postage. Mr. Lamkin says Postmasters, all Republicans, of course, are paying more attention to the distribution of Republican speeches nowadays than they are de- voting to their offices.
