GOV. Stone Saws Gross Election Frauds are
COMMITTED In ~ louis aud kansrs CITY.

Coinm't t-d In ~ louis aud kansrs CITY.
JEFFERSON CITY. MO, april I'm
his call for an extra session OF the Legs
lature, to meet April 23d, Governor
Stone, OF Missouri. says:
For a number of years the State has
been disgraced by an organized and saia-
rcd lobby maintained by special interests
at the capital during the SESSIONS OF the
General Assembly for the purpose OF IN
fuencing legislative action. Encouraged
by a seeming lack Of public sentiment
at their pres ence, and embOidened by re-
Teated successes, these lobbyists from
year to year increased I'm numbers. in
fiuen e, ana audacity, until they nave be-
come an almost dominating force in
legislation. SO confident have they grown
in their strength, and 50 potent IN in
huencc. that they now ply their vocation
almost without disguise in defiance OF
public authority and in utter contempt
Of public opinion. 1t has come 10 pass
that almost every important measure OF
legislation must under so the scrutiny or
the lobby before its fate can be deter
mined. What IT approves is not without
hope. but what II condemns Is lost.
Perhaps the most conspicuous illustra-
ton OF this disyraceful domination is TO
be found n the treatment accorded the
so-called fellow servants bill. / do not

suppress and defeat IL. number or
senators and representatives, as well as
many good citizens, who felt appalled,
at the overshadowing influence and hu-
inflated at the triumph OF the lobby.

reconvening the General Assembly TO the
end that the issue may be fairly present.
ed, and an open test made as to whether
a just legislative measure Of this charac-
ter can be eracted into a law in spite
OF the communicating influence OF those
who openly boast their ability 10 direct
the current of legislation. These are
strong words. / know. and | write them
with the greatest regret, but IL Is clear
10 me that the time for mild protest Is
passed. We are confronted with the
question whether the people or the lobby
shall rule I'm Missouri. The public safety
and the honor of the State are at stake.
Every senator. member. public officer ana
citizen familiar with the truth, knows
that these words are justified by the
situation at jefferson City"
The Governor then mentions the neces-
sity OF passing new laws governing cleo
tons. On this subject he says:

this is not true in all large cities. IL is
known that gross frauds have been COM
miied in 81. Louis and Kansas city. The
inducement and opportunity for corrupt
practices In large. populous municipalities
are great, and experience proves that
dishonest men OF all parties have not
been slow TO debauch the elective fran
chise. Not a few consummate and das-
tardly outrages have been perpetrated.

our business with reference to the gold
coinage that We were annually turning
out, and not with reference 70 silver
coinage, because We coined no silver, or
only little. which. being underValued'
at once left the country as bullion. All
our contracts prior to 1873 were MADE
therefore, with reference TO the gold
dollar as the standard OF value. But
we ask any man of common sense TO
read the act as we have quoted it and
TO Say whether II does not provide for
a gold dollar as well as a silver dollar?
1t provides that our coinage shall be
an eagle "of the value Of ten dollars
and TO contain two hundred and seven
grains and four-eighths OF a grain OF
pure gold" Is not that making the gold
dollar. II provision should actually be
made to strike the actual coin-gold dol
lar-to consist of "a ga grains of pure
gold?
The 10th section OF the same act pro-
videl that "all the gold and sill
yer coins which shall have been
struck at, and issued from the
said mint. shall be lawful tender
weight according to the respective values
hereinbefore declared. and those OF less
than full weight at values proportioned
TO their respective weights"
II man. while that act was a law.
had contracted to Pay one hundred dol
lars. viii any one say that his contract
would not have been complied with II he
rendered ten eagles? The gold dollar was
as plainly within the contemplation Of the
act as the silver dollars. but it was
thought that the gold dollar would be so
small as to be useless in practical AZ
fairs. and no provision was made for
the actual coinage of 1t. But it was

If the act had said that the eagle
should be Of the value OF ten dollars.
and had said no more. then, as silver
deprecated, the eagle must have had
gold taken out of it, and there would
have been some ground for our authors
confer, ion. But the act says the eagle
"shall be of the value OF ten dollars
and to contain al IL grains" Inns was
the same thing TO say that ten gold
dollars should contain eight-tenths of
247 II grains of gold. that eight gold
dollars should contain eignt-tenths OF
247 II grains. that seven gold dollars
should contain seven-tenths of 247 IL
grains, and that one gold dollar should
contain one-tenth of 2i7 ID grains. and
it is such humbuggery as this that the
public allows to be palmed Off on 1t.

time in the life OF this country. silver
was tabooed by the Government In 1913,
| there soon followed a shrinkage OF all
values but the value OF gold" Let's look
at the record. and sec how this state
ment Is borne out. In hts tables OF
4, prices, issued within year psst. the emil
ncnt statistician. Ssuerbeck, takes the
number 100 as the normal average for
prices by examining his tables, we see
that the average for 1919 was "a; for
1850. a: for 1851, 70; for 1862, IS; for 1893,
u: for 1870. 90. There were oe-
casionaI spurts upward. but prices
were never as high between 1926 and 1873
as they were In 1876. Prices, on the
average. have undoubtedly been going
down since 1873. but they never reached
point so low as they were in 1852. until
1885. Now what had silver to do with
these variations? Prices were very low
only a few years before silver was de-
monetized las the free silverites will in
sist on enormously speaking Of the effect
OF our act of 1879. and for ten years
after the act was passed they kept well
above the lowest point they had touched
only a few years before the act was
passed. How is it possible TO make any
connection between the two?
But If silver was the cause OF the
fan in prices. why did IT not affect
all prices alike? Coffee sold from 1868
to 1871 at from . TO IL cents a pound.
Il e1tH 40 lou, a. x IL CENTS in 1856. il
sold for Is cents a pound in 1874; for is
in 1875: for % in 1871, ana it fiuctuated
between S1-4 and % cents between 1871
and 1894. Lard sold for Si-2 cents in
1873. yet it sold for 1Ol II in 1893, and was
worth as much a year ago. Corn has
cut the most remarkable capers in its
prices. In 1873 it sold for As cents a
bushel: in 1873 for 81; in 1878 for 43; in
1872 for 81; in 1886 Tor IS; in 1888 for 66;
in 1880 for 81. and IN 1921 for so -.
If the record is examined. It will be
found that almost every commodity has
had experiences similar TO these Look at
money. The free silverites say it is too
scarce. but interest has been steadily de-
clining ever since 1873. and lenders can
hardly get money taken now at any
price. Does that look like growing
scarcity OF 1t since 1873?
If Major Lee viii look into the facts
he VIII find that whenever there has been |
q decline in the price of a commodity. |
the supply of it has increased or the de-
mand for it has fallen off.

Electric Tysatmont of Plants.

About 30 years ago an ingenious ply
sician Of an inquiring turn Of mind was
struck with the idea that if electricity
was good for feeble people it might
be equally good for feeble plants A
row of evcrgrcens had been put ont on
his grounds some time before, and it oc.
CURED to him that as there were q couple
of his best tsees in an exceedingly frail
state of health here was q good chance
to test his theory. He accordingly cou-
nected q wire from Il battery with the
roots of one of the trees turned Oh q
very mild current and watched the re-
suits. In short time the leaves, which
had begun to turn yellow, took on a
lively shade Of green, new shoots started
out, and the tree that had been given
up by the gardener as past saving was
soon the most fourishing one of the
row and before long outstripped its
fellows i'll beauty and luxuriance of
growth. These experiments in this di-
rection came to an end by the death of
the doctor, and thus much that might
have been Of great service to the garden
er and the florist remained undeveloped.

The Hairy Woman.

About the middle of the seventeenth cen
tury (the earliest tract on the subject in my
collection bears date of 1850 hairy wom-
an-Barbara Urselin Vaubeck.-was exhib-
tied in all of the principal cities of conti-
mental Europe. The tract above referred
to, which bears this extraordinary title.
Barbara the Human Beare; True Rela-
tion of Woman as Haire as Any Ami
mile" gives the following account of her;
Her name Is Augusta Barbara, and she is
the daughter Of Balthazar Urselin, and at
this time (l655) is in her twenty second year
Her whole bodie, even to her face, is covered
withe curled yellowish haire, yerrie soft like
woole. She has besides "A thicke heayie
beard that reaches TO her girdle, and from
her ears hang long tufts of haire Of the
same yellow colour" Some writers ON hu-
man monstrosities believe this to be the
person described by Bartoline under the IL
tie, "Barba, the Female Esau," although
there is even more than slight discrepan-
cy in dates.-St. Louis Republic

Some years ago several hundred
thousand perhaps-a brackish or fresh
water lake existed which extended for
800 miles along the eastern flank of the
Rocky mountains, and many strange
monsters wandered up and down its
shores.
Professor Marsh named one the tri-
ceratops, which means that it wore three
horns on its face. its skull was enor-
nous, measuring in an old individual
or feet in length, was somewhat wedge
shaped and the back and sides of its
neck were protected by huge fanlilie
ruff or projection of bone, extending
from the skull and forming part Of it.
The brain was smaller in proportion
to the size Of the skull than in any
known animal The mouth was kind
of beak, like that of the turtle, and
similarly sheathed in horn. Its food was
of the luxurious tropical vegetation
which flourished along the borders Of
the great lake.
The animal was about 25 feet in
length and or 10 feet in height, being
considerably larger than the largest ex-
isting elephant. Cincinnati Enquirer.
