! Republicans came into control
about the close of the war, Missouri
finances were in a dep!orabIe con
dition. Big debts, no cash. and
no provision for raising funds to
even meet increasing interest
acc'lmulations, From that stand
point the State was bankrupt.
| Under such a state Of affairs a
constitutional convention was call
ed, which completed its labor- in
1865; and on the State debt
question it submitted an ordinance
creating State interest fund and
a sinking fund, the former to meet
the interest on the bonds and the
latter to retire the bonds. From
that time forward Missouri's credit
has been improving and her debt
decreasing.
When the Democrats regained
control of affairs another State con-
vention was held, at which the
aforesaid ordinance of 1865 was
abolished, but the principle was
engraftcd in the new cost!tution,
as appears in section II, article 10,
of that instrument, which is as
follows:
"The tax authorized by the 9Th
section of the ordinance adopted
June 6, 1865, is hereby abolished,
and hereafter there shall be levied
and collected an amount Of tax
sufficient to pay the accruing inter
est upon the bonded debt of the
state, and to reduce the principal
thereof each year by sum of not
less than $25o,O0o: the proceeds of
which tax shall be paid into the
State Treasury, and appropriated
and paid out for the purposes
expressed in the first and second
subdivisions of Section 43 of
Article " of this Constitution.
The funds and resources now in
the State interest and State sinking
funds shall be appropriated to the
same purposes.
1t is no great thing to boast
about that the States bonded debt
is being paid, for it is nothing
more than should be done.
How ridiculous those editors
would appear going around blow
ing about each little bill, account,
note or bond they had paid, in an
effort to induce people to admire
them as honest. economic ex-
amples.
But that is not all the sham in
this case, because the bonds were
created by the Democratic party
and the foundation for their liquid
alton was laid by the Republicans
in that memorable ordinance of
1865.
No doubt some of the brethren
arc ignorant of some of the facts
in the case, but Ignorance is no
excuse for publishing that which is
not true. What commendation
there is due for the present condi-
ton of the bonded debt of Missouri
belongs to the Republican party.

NEW PICKLE FACTORY.
Charles w. shedd Here in interests of a
New Industry.

Charles w. Shedd of New York state,
who is in New England looking for a
favorable site on which to build a new
pickle factory, was at the board of
trade rooms last night and detailed to
number of invited guests, including
some of the best known vicinity farm
ers. the possibilities Of such an indus
try to be located in this city. He said
that the soil of Worcester county was
particularly adapted for raising cucum-
Ders, and if the inducements that could
be offered the Worcester county farm
ers was sufficient, and the city of Wor-
cester could offer some inducement for
the location of plant here, the pro-
motors would take the matter into con-
sideration.
OF course>the board of trade could act
only as medium so far as the farmers
are concerned, and they would be pleas
ed to have any farmer in this locality
express his ideas on the subject. The
industry has been very successful one
in the state Of New York, and as much
as II tons to the acre of cucumbers
have been raised in many districts
there. Worcester is. considered 10 be a
good distributing center for the product,
and if factory was located here the
promoters are certain that it would
prove a success. 1t all remains with
the resident and vicinity farmers
whether the Industry will be located
here.

THE BAY STATE
Policy Holders Get but Lit

The report Of Herbert Parker, receiv-
err of the Bay State Beneficiary Assoc
citation, has been filed in the supreme
court, and it contains the names of the
policy holders in this state whose
claims have been approved.
In all there are 40 names, making
the total value of the paid claims abodt
$73,S9O This amount is on the basis of
IS cents on the dollar, the grand total
face value of the claims having been
Sab, 1903.
In addition to the 10 allowed claims,
there are eight mortuary claims for
$21 900, and 16 disability claims for $21,-
500 which are suspended.
over $132,000 of claims for disability
have been disalowed, owing to a de-
cision of the supreme court to the eff
feet that the policies were not legally
written. BY throwing out these claims
there is a larger percentage going to
the benehciaries of the claims, which
have been allowed, and there will be a
further dividend in the case.
Sixty-twO per cent of the claimants
live in New England, and among the
list of Worcester county people whose
claims have been allowed are: IVers

FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.
Prison Commission Visits Worcester in
Regard to the Reed Case.

Although circulars have been sent
broadcast throughout the country and
all other customary steps taken for the
apprehension of the noted John Reed
the main point at issue at present, with
the authorities, seems to be that Of fix
Ing the responsibility OF his escape.
Secretary Bailey and one other mem
Der Of the prison commission came to
Worcester yesterday forenoon, and
passed the intervening hours UP to the
leaving of the 4.3S train for Boston in
looking over the local end of the Reed
matter, and visiting the Summer street
Jail.
The commissioners were closeted with
District Attorney Herbert Parker for
several hours, and examined several
witnesses alleged to have some knowI-
edge of the point at issue. In company
with Sheriff r. H. Chamberlain they
paid q visit to the Sherwood house and
viewed the room in which Reed was left
by Officer Abbott, and which he left
afterWard to secure hot water for his
sick wife.
They also looked over the various av-
enues of escape from the building, in
GLIDING the route over the tops OF ad-
Jacent buildings and through dark al
ley ways, which has ben immortalized
by Boston paper. =
Landlord Hurley was up street when
they called. but the clerk of the hotel
showed the commissioners all there was
to be seen at the house that pertained
to the present case. Neither the mem
bers of the commission or Mr.. Parker
cared to express an opinion for pubIca-
ton.
After the investigation the commits
sioners paid a visit to the local jail
Evidently Mr.. Parker's request for a
rigid, thorough and impartial investi-
CATION is being complied with
Colonel William A. Gle, ex-counsel
for Reed, still believes in the innocence
of Officer Abbott, and is firm in his
opinion that the escape was unpremed-
itated. He does not agree with Mr.
Parker's theory that number of
Reeds friends were in the city Sunday
night, and would have aided him by
force, If necessary
Colonel Giles theory Us that an OPP
portunity for escape presented itself
and the prisoner improved it. Officer
Abbott is a man amply able to take
care of himself, in Mr.. Giles estima-
ton, and could easily have handled
Reed or either of his friends, who have
followed him about New England.
The local officers had nothing new to
offer yesterday, and Mr. Reed is still
among the missing.

hope that we shall have the courage
and the justice to break this record and
to demonstrate to the world that our
faith In democracy is sufficient to al
low all people In our dominions to
have representation in the halls of
congress under proper and reasonable
restrictions and qualifications apple
able to everybody within the limits of

Very likely much of the confusion
and contention on the subject arises
from the different meaning that is
given to the word Imperialism. Sem
ators Hoar and Lodge are supposed to
represent the opposite sides of the
question, yet Mr.. Lodge says he fully
agrees with what Senator Hoar has
said on the subject, and Mr.. Hoar says
he agrees with every word Senator
Lodge has uttered about it.
However, these are serious questions,
and some political party viii have to
deal with them and settle them for
our veal or woe. Which party do
YOU think is best fitted to solve them2
For myself l believe that the repub-
lican party, in patriotism in courage
of opinion, and in the character and
intelligence Of its supporters, is better
suited to this work than any other
party now in existence.
Therefore, L appeal to you to give
this party your hearty support and
suffrage. And be not content to give it
blind support, but strive to purify it
and to make it all great party in a
free country should be, and then it will
be instrumental in elevating our coun-

Only Two Beagles in Cham

Oxford, Nov 4-The field trials of the
New England Beagle Club were finish
ed here today with the running Of the
champion stakes. The entries were
unsxceptionally small, George f. Reed
having been compelled to return to his
home in Barton. VT, on account of sick
ness in his family. OF course he took
his beagles with him, and consequently
in the 15-inch champion class there
were but two entries, Dimes Della and
Bessie, both belonging to William Sax
by. Dimes Della won, and then in
the 1s-inch champion class, Bessie, the
only entry, had walkover. Both OF
these hounds go home with the title Of
