The Rich and the Poor.

A Spring Garden correspondent IN.
L. inquiries whether 1T is true as has
been stated by both public men and
public journals. that the rich of our
country are rapidly growing richer and
that the poor are are steadily advanc-
ing in earnings and comfort with
them.
No; it is not true. If rich men were
growing richer by legitimate enterprise
and fair competition, they would log
ically improve the condition of the
poor; but when the rich grow richer
by gigantic combinations of capital,
whereby labor and production are di-
minished and oppressive prices impos-
ed upon consumers, the poor must grow
poorer az the rich grow richer.
The financial and industrial condi-
tons of our country are certainly
alarming just now. Most of our lead
ing industries are controlled 10y cap
italized combines, and these combines
are enabled to dictate terms to both
labor and consumers. The sugar trust
has lesse ned labor for the workingmen
the combined capitalists an increased
profit of over $50, 600, 900 year.
How can the poor improve their con-
dition when capital combines TO lessen
labor and wages and to increase the
cost of the necessaries of life. And
that is just what the rich are doing to-
day By the aid of excessiv tariff taxes
Thus the rich are becoming richer and
the poor are becoming poorer, and We
are slowly but surely gravitating to-
ward two great divisions of our people
and tramps. ."-Phila-
de2phia Times.

Elections In 1873 8.

The current year is notably an "off
year" in general politics, says the
Albany Argus. Only eleven states
elect state officers this year. Ken
lucky will hold general election for
Sta te Treasurer August 5. Election
in ten other States will take place No
vember 5. On that day
Iowa will elect Governor and Lieu
tenant-Govenor.
Maryland will elect Comptroller and
attorney-General.
Massachusetts will elect Governor
aud State officers.
Mississippi will elect Governor and
State officers.
Nebraska will elect Supreme Court
Judge and two Regents.
New Jersy will elect Governor and
State officers.
New York will elect State officers,
except Governor and Lieutenant-Gov-
enor.
Ohio will elect Governor and State
officers.
Pennsylvania will elect State Treas
urer.
Virginia will elect Governor and
State officers.
Political interest this year accord
ingly is centered in the election of the
newly admitted States-North Dakota,
South Dakota, Washington and Mon
tana-which are now framing their
Constitutions and will elect full State
Governments and Legislatures which
will choose eight new United States
Senators. Each new State will elect
a Representative in Congress except
South Dakota, which will elect two.
The terms of no United States Sem
ators expire this year, so the election
of members of the Legislature this
year is of interest as bearing Oh nation
al politics only in cases where mem-
bers of the legislature chosen this year
hold office for two years. The Senate
elected in New York State will vote
for a United States senator in 1892 to
succeed the Hon. William M. Evarts.

Coffee IN Liver and Kidney Diseases.

1t is now more than thirty years
since DR. rLandarrabilco called attention
in the medical journals to the great
value of green or unroasted coffee in
hepatic and nephriuc diseases. After
having continued TO use the remedy
for upward of third of century in
many hundreds of cases, he again ap-
peals to the profession, through the
Moniteur de IheTapeutique, to give 1t
q trial in those cases of liver aud kid
ney troubles which have resisted all
other treatment. His habits is to place

Interesting Facts About Missouri.

Missouri was admitted into the Union
by proclamation of President Monroe
August 10, 1921, and contains 65, $40
square miles. The population of Mis-
souri, in 1921 was 20. .647; in 1850, 2, 1885,
SO4; in 1889 (estimated), 3,2l6,S71.
Some of our public men and school
histories as well are in error in assert
ing that "The Clay Compromise" on
which the State was admitted into the
Union, was Section & Of the Act of
March G. 1920, authorizing the people
of the Missouri Territory to form con-
stitution and State Government,w where
i'm it was provided that in all that ter.
ritory ceded by France to the United
States which lies north of 81 degrees
and 80 minutes north latitude, except
ing only such part thereof'as is incIud-
ed within the limits of the state con-
templated by the act. slavery shall be
and is forever prohibited. This was
one of the Missouri Compromises, SO
called, on which the State was admit
ted into the Union, but it was neither
proposed nor Endorsed by Mr.. Clay. It
was proposed by Senatar Jesse b.
Thomas, of Illinois; but its adoption
did not secure the admission of the
State.
The Clay Compromise was very
different proposition. Appreciating the
perils of the situation. Mr.. Clay, on
February %, 1921, moved that COM
mittee of twenty-three, to consist of
members of both Houses of Congress,
be appointed to consider the subject of
the admission of the State; and on the
Goth of that month this committee,
with MIR. Clay as chairman, reported
to each House, The Clay Compromise,

Robbing The School Fund.

Superintendent Coleman has stirred
up hornets nest over the false en-.
umeration of school children, and some
very damaging facts have been un.
covered. The most flagraut abuse
was practised at Washington, Frank
llin..county. Taking the school enumer-
alton and adding to it the voting pop
ulation, the total only lacked sixteen
of the entire population of the town.
In other words according to the school
enumeration as it was formerly return
ed and the voting capacity, there was
only sixteen women and children
under six years of age and over twenty
in Washington.
Itrqeuires no further::proof to show
that the enumeration was false, and
Superintendent Colman very properly
took steps to check the outrageous
frauds being practiced. This year, as
has been noted in the Tribune, the
Washington school officials have re-
duced their enumeration nearly 1900.
Columbia has also been caught play
ing the same trick, but on smaller
scale.
When it is remembered that every
false name added to an enumeration
list means nearly one dollar taken
from the state school fund, the wrong
inflicted 1pod the public will be read
lily discovered. The state has so much
money every year to apportioned for
school purposes. An enumeration is
taken every year, and the state snper-
intendent divides the money equally
upon the basis of enumeration to each
country, and in turn the county di-
vides its share among the districts
upon the same basis. So if Washing.
ton falsely returned abou: 1900 more
school children than there are in the
district. she received nearly one dollar
for each false name, and the same ap-
plies to Columbi
For the future Mr.. Coleman has a
remedy. He can mandamus the audi
tor and hold the money in the state
treasury, but we are not ad vised as to
the proper mode for recovering money
paid out on false returns. If possible.
the state should bring suit againgt the
districts, and SO far as the parties re-
sponsible for the frauds are concerned,
they should be (as Mr.. Coleman says)
promptly indicted. - Jefferson City

Will Noble Resign.

The Republics exposure of the re-
Eating conspiracy in the Department
of the Interior gives Secretary Noble
an opportunity to justify himself be-
fore the country. Since he took charge
of the department it has been the hot
bed of scandal, but the evidence here
tofore was not SO conclusive as in this
case, where he has forced on him the
alte rnative of accepting full response
bllity for the frauds, or of forcing Tan
ner out of the department. AS long as
Mr.. Noble remaius at the head of the
department he is responsible for the
thefts of his subordinates, and we again
invite his attention to few of these
thefts.
William p. Davis, of the pension
Bureau, has through the conspiracy,
secured s. 500 cash and an increase of
pension from 81 to $40 month. E.
l.. Dickey, OF Maine, also an employe
of the Pension Bureau, has received
81, 900 of the stolen money, and the
conspiracy increased his pension from
SS to S37 So a month. Hiram Smith of
of Missouri, Deputy Commissioner of
Pensions, has pocketed S4 900 with
certificate of increase to nearly double
the amount of his former pension.
George B. Squires. Tanners contidant,
stole S., 900, and Tanners cousin, Tan
ner, S4 900 cash by re-rating. Capt.
Phillips of the middle division re-rated
himself up to six times the amount of
his pension. Capt. Bolts, of the army
and navy general division, had him
self re-rated by his subordinates, and
Capt Smith, of the certificate divi-
sion, plundered the treasury of $4,000
and increased his pension from S4 to
$40 a month. Doctors Bell, Mason,
Carpenter, Darling, Baxter and other
examing physicians all have money
stolen bv means of the conspiracy.
Thomas d, Yeager, clerk engaged
with Tanner in the conspiracy, with
drew 200 cases from their places in the
files for re-rating, and only so OF them
have thus far been restored to their
proper place and figure. Besides these
instances of theft by employees of the
departm MT, Tanner has been re-rating
his friends in Brooklyn, and others OF
the conspirators have been re-ratlng
theirs, so that If the steal is allowed to
go on until Congress meets, the loss to
the Treasury will be well up into the
millions.
1t is certain that it will go on as long
as the conspirators, with Tanner at
their head, remain in the department.
Tanner feels 20 sense of shame even
when detected in these thefts, and ne |

Immigration Societies.

A number of counties in Southeast
| Missouri have made preliminary ar
rangements for organizing All imni-
grafton society. What success will at
tend the organization is for the future
| to determine. The organization of so
many of these societies in Missouri
calls to mind the dismal failure which
usually attends such moves.
Half the time immigration societies
are conducted on an erroneous and
| selfish plan. Real estate sharks and
| windy writers are the only ones to
profit from the expenditure of a COM
| mon fund. The writer starts off by
| blowing about the climate, the soil,
the scenery, etc., in show-poster style,
but never gets down to telling actual
facts. He sails around the blue dome
of heaven and never thinks of coming
down on the earth and stating how
many bushels of wheat this farmer
raised, or the profit of that farmers
cotton crop. No. it would require iu-
dustry to gather such solid facts,
while the other stuff will fill space
and can be chopped out of any cheap
John land advertising pamphlet. If
anything comes from such schemes
the land agent is ready to get it, but
usually there IS general waste of
money, paper. ink and large crop OF
blasted hopes.
The people want to know facts.
They don't care for information as to
glorious sunsets, weeping willows,
fifth state in the union aud an endless |
amount of trash, but they would like |
to know how much grain can be raised [
to the acre. what it costs to get to the I
market. the output of mines, stone |
quarries, etc., together with probable
profit, where the same can be market
ed, if the demand is heavy or light,
the rate of taxation, disposition of
people to encourage enterprises, school
and church facilities, prices. school and
facilities, price per acre of land
for sale, and ten thousand other things
which cannot be found in every rail-
road guide book,
It takes work to accumulate such
facts and money to publish the same,
and it is just as well to stick to the
truth when compiling such statements.

Tanner and the Surplus.

Pension Commissioner Tanner has
tackled the surplus with degree OF
skill and energy which promises to dis
sipate it into less than nothing in q
very few months.
He began by "re-rating'' Senator
Manderson as pensioner, and surpris-
ing him with u government check for
nearly $1,000. The Senator had been
making pc nsion laws for over six years,
but be didn't even suspect that he was
entitled to be ''re-ratedn with big ar
rears until Tanner had done it and sent
him the money.
Having "re-rated" leading Senator
and thus put big lump pension
"where it would do the most good"
Com missioner Tanner helped his con-
fidentiaI clerks to "re-rate" each other
into enlarged pensions with big lump
arrears, and now the snti-surplus
machine is ready for wholesale ire
rating" trade.
True, Secretary Noble has intimated
his doubts as to Commissioner Tan
ner's anti-surplus methods by dismiss
ing his medical referee, but the in
pensions stand all the same.
OF course, either the pension list, as
q rule, must be "re-rated" and PEN
SlOuS, uouUl0 OT lTeDlcu, OT tIl0 IceIdt-
ing" of the pension officials, must be
're-rated" back to this standard of the !
law. Which will 1t be?
If the present avowed policy of ad-
the Pension Office shall be |
the pension appropriation
must be increased fully one hundred |
millions next year, even without new
pension laws; and not only will the
surplus be entirely destroyed, but the
treasury will be bankrupted and in
creased taxes made necessary.
1t is quite time that President Har-
'ison gave the subject few minutes
If sober attention, and whenever he
ioes SO, he will promptly dismiss Com
missioner Tanner and remove the pen
zion Office pack to decent respect for |
he laws.-PhiladeLph Times.

will continue them systematically as
long as the President allows him to dc

Secretary Noble has every reason to
thank the Republic for exposing the
conspiracy. The exposure gives him
an opportunity to resign with credit to
himselfand as a justification of himself
1t is the only way in which he can
justify himself if the President retains
Tanner. He need not fear in resign
ing that he will be misunderstood. II
there were no other evidence than that
in the case of Senator Manderson, for
whom nearly $5 900 cash was re-rated
out of the Treasury, all honest men

man must clear his skirts of these
