The trusts are a result of the
gold standard. Tho money power
is showing it's influence. Those
who voted with the Republican
party in the last campaign to bring
about the conditions which have
made the trusts possible, can now
see some of the fruits of their act
ion. Trusts mean extortion on the
people. If the people do not offer
resistance to the greed of the mon

that would be given by the present

ALL the world appreciates the sen-
timent of Capt. Dreyfus, "Liberty is
nothing to me without hoaor." All
the world approves his determination
expressed on the day of his liberia
ton. "FrOm today shall continue to
seek reparation for the frightful ju-
dicial error of which 1 am the vic
tim." All the world responds to his,
81 wish France to know by a defina-
tive judgment that 1 am innocent"
All the world sympatbizes with his
sentiment: "Mv heart will only be at
rest when there remains not a single
Frenchman who imputes to me the
abominable crime perpetrated by an
other" All the world will applaud
when his heroic fight for honor shall
have been crowned with that victory
which all the world believes will
surely crown his efforts. In the
meantime the prosecuted Jew may
cheer himself with the assurance that
history will not repeat the "frightful
error" of q prejudiced military court
in search of scape-goet.

FREE silver as a vital issue ia al
ready as dead as the issue of African
slavery" says Henry Watterson, De-
mocrat and the brilliant editor Of the
Louisville Courier-Journal. Mr..
Watterson further declares that the
trust question does not afford u
political issue, and that anti-imperial-
ism is "a figment of the fancy of a
few old women in Boston and the
ignorance of . few unref1ecting and
half-educated demagogues in the
west and SOUTH" He sounds an ad-
ded note of warning, declaring "The
deadly danger to Democracy is the
misleading cry of neutrality-suspicious."
Many thoughtful and able Democrats
are with Mr.. Watterson, but they are
not enough to lcaven the loaf. The
party will not change its front on an
issue OH which its line of hattie has
already been arranged. They will
make it the issue, with silver in the
rear as a sort of invalid reserve, and
the issue will grind the party to
dust.

No TURN of the political tide can

joy large measure of prosperity

red apples, the blushing peaches, the
luscious grapes, the delicious berries,

coal for fuel; the timber for every
purpose under the sun; the lime and
building stone in exhaustless quanti-
ties; the wool aud cotton to clothe
her people; the iron, lead and zinc to
supply the nation. Missouri is all
right. She is not selfish, however,
in the planitude of her riches, but de-
slres to see everybody, everywhere,
prosper aud as many as may be join
her in developing and enjoying her
boundless resources. Narrowness, or
mistaken state and national policies,
may retard her development but can
not bring her advancement to =

her than it is possible for the stupi-

IN Kansas, it is said they have to
use ladders to reach the ears of corn;
that they use the stalks to build corn
cribs; that they splice the stalks aud
sell them for telegraph poles; that on
account of the scarcity Of freight cars
they lash the ears of corn together
and raft them down the Missouri
river to market; that they saw the
cobs up into lumber for furniture and
for building purposes; that they bore
the pith out of the cObs and set them
up to serve as factory chimneys; that
in spite of the above and foregoing,
all the truthful people do not live in

Letter From Gwen McCiary.

DTdoIcy VlIe, MO., Oept. OV, 80.
To the People of Taney:
Having read with interest the ar
ticles written by Com. uicks. con-
cerniDg o summer school in this part
of the state, take this means of Sec
onding his efforts. 1t is needless for
me to say that as county, we are
behind most of our sister counties in
educational advantages. flour young
men and young women wish to &C.
cure a better education than is af-
iordcd by the district schools, they
are compelled to leave home in order
to accomplish their purpose. This is
a condition that ehomld not exist; but
since it docs exist. the thing Cor us to
do is to go to work and try to supply
this long felt want. l believe the es-
tablishmcnt of summer school, of
the nature outlined by Mr.. Hicks, is a
step in the right direction.
i'll understand the scheme, it is not
the purpose Of the University to help
us next summer, theu abandon us to
work out our own salvation, but if
the school prove successful, tho Uni
versity will continue its help as long
as the people will patr0nize the
school or till some other means for
higher education are provided.
The question whether we have the
summer school lies not with the Uni
versity, but with us. They are ready
aud willing to help us. arc we ready
and willing to receive it? Do we
want the summer school? If SO, are
we going to do anything in order to
secure it ? In my opinion it is a prize
worth putting forth some effort to
secure.
To the best of my knowledge there
is not schoOl in either of the five
counties, Stone, Christian, Douglas,
Ozark or fancy, that meets the re-
quirements laid down by the Univer-
sity as conditions of entrance. By
the establishment of the summer
school our boys and girls would have
o chance to pursue the study of such
subjects as would enter them at the
University. Then. too, our teachers
would have a chance to fit themselves
for higher and better work. If you
are in favor Of better public schools,
work for tho summer school, if you
wish to prepare for entrance to the
University work for the summer
school; and if you wish to become q
better teacher work for the school.
Very truly yours,
OWEN a. MCCLARY.
