diem, and mileage of members, and
the expenses of the clerical force
were S2.62s.7O, instead of $500 as
stated. Deducting the cost of print
ing and expenses. other than members
and clerks, the average cost per day
was S2,43i.64. There were 463 cierksand
employees in the senate and the house
PTS in the senate and 2i5 in the
house. The honorable gentleman
states the number at 5S1, or lis in ex.
cess of the real number.
Mr.. Chairman and fellow-citizens, L
challenge special attention TO the as
sertion that a number of the war
rants of the members of the general
assembly went to protest. This state
ment is absolutely untrue. ! am in re-
ceipt of letter from Hon. F. L. Pitts,
state treasurer, under date of the
Goth of July last, in which he says,
among other things: Responding to
your favor of the 25th inst. | beg to
inform YOU that the assertion made
by Hon. Joseph FlOry, candidate for
governor. in speech at Monett, Mo-,
to the effect that warrants of the
members OF the last general assembly
went to protest. is false. Every war
rant drawn by the state auditor was
paid on presentation at this office. 1t
could not be otherwise: for no war
rant can be drawn except upon an APP
preparation of the legislature: and no
appropriation in excess of the re-
ceipts into the state treasury can be
made" The state treasurer then
gives the facts familiar to most of the
taxpayers. 1t is the custom of the
committees on account of the general
assembly TO issue scrip" or pay ac-
counts" certifying that the party
whose name appears therein is on the
pay roll and served a certain number
of days. and is entitled to a warrant
for a certain amount. This scrip is
not a demand for money, but simply
an evidence of Indebtedness and of no
value until the appropriations are
made. 1t may have been the custom
of the state treasurers, upon the re-
quest of both houses of the general
assembly. and for the accommodation
of members and clerks, to cash pay
accounts" before an appropriation by
the legislature; but the custom is
wholly voluntary in contemplation of
law.
Section Is. of article 10, ofthe consti-
tuition of this state provides for the
disbursement of public money, and to
quote its language: Upon warrants
drawn by the state auditor and not
otherwise"
Section 10 of the same article also
declares that mo money shall ever be

paid out of the treasury of this state
or any other funds under its manage
ment except in pursuance of an appro-
priation by law
The STATE treasurer. as commanded
by the constitution, simply declined to
he SAYS in his letter that every mem
Der of the Legislature and employee
thereof knew that there was plenty
of money in the treasury with which
TO pay all demands against the state,
and that warrants to cover the
amounts due them would he issued as
soon as the appropriations were
made" The state treasurer simply
obeyed the law. When members of
the legislature desire their pay the
law provides the methods by which it
can be easily secured State Treasur-
tr Pitts in this ease pursued The
course which should invite commenda
ton rather than carping criticism.
1t may not be the occasion for sur
prise that some republican candidates
Tor office should seem to desire to
break down the safeguards of the
treasury fixed by the constitution.
but ] am sure thai the taxpayers Of
all parties will applaud the courage Of
Treasurer Pitts in executing the Laws
without fear or favor.
COST OF THE STATE PENITEN-
TIAKY.
now invite the attention of the
taxpayers to the cost of the
state penitentiary under repu5-
lican and democratic manage
ment In 1869 and 1870. under Gov.
McClurg's administration, the peniten-
tiary cost the taxpayers S277,90i.44
over and above its earnings. In De-
cember. 1870. there were 791 prison
ers. the average cost of each prisoner
being S3499f. During 1899. and up to
July % last. only $3.I16.1S was drawn
from the state treasury for the ex-
penses of electric light plants, fire.
proof vaults and the library at the
DenitentIary. On the 23d of July last
there were 2.O95 prisoners in the peni-
Tertiary. and at the same time bal

to the credit of the account for earn

This very favorable treasury situa-
ton in its relation 10 the penitentiary
can perhaps be morr clearly under
stood by the statement that the earn.
ings" of the penitenliary in 1899 and
mp TO the 23d of July last were S4s,-
1888 in excess of all the expenses OF
the institution for food. clothing. sal
aries of officers and guards. new build
inCS. repairs and incidental expenses
of all kinds.
This handsome surplus can he used
by the general assembly for the sup
port of our state government. and to
this extent relieve the taxpayers.

But. my fellow-citizens. | have not
yet submitted the complete fiscal rec

lied and permitted the secretary of

ocratic control was only $100,553.6s.
The total cost of the last Legislature
amounted to $685., 3S9.49, which is $l2,-
6I671 less than the average cost of the
four republican legislatures which as
sembled prior to 1878.
ISTATEMENTSOF THE REPJ BLlCAN
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
In this connection ! may say that
the republican candidate for COVER
nor, according 10 a dispatch to the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat of the Goth of
July last, from Monet, stated at
jenkins. Barry county, that the last
legislature cost the taxpayers nearly
$500, 900, and in a speech at DelmarG Gar
den, st. Louis, on the evening of July
90. he also declared that the last legis-
lature cost the taxpayers $1,000 daily.
In discussing state affairs at Monett
on the night of July II. he further as
serted that a number of the war
rants of the members of the general
assembly went to protest. and there
were ISL persons on the pay rolls of
the state doing clerical work in both
f''tStN. II ~ - Wv 'ii''' ''' ~
zeal force of the last general assembly
was in excess of the number really
required for the economical transac-
ton of business. The honorable gem
tleman. however. in the assertions to
which | have referred, has exhibited
an inaccuracy wholly unwarranted by
the facts.
The total cost of the recent legis-
lature has just been given. and as
heretofore stated. is less than the av-
| erage cost of the republican legisla-
lures prior to democratic rule. How
ever the fact of republican eXtrava-
gance both in state and national adj
ministrations should not he accepted
as a precedent by democrats. 1t is
true that the republican party wasted
the substance of the people when they
controlled this state. and il is also
, true that its record in national af-
fairs. as | shall presently show. is a
record of reckless prodigality, hut in
submitting the exhibit | shall not
wander from the record as did the
gentleman named for the great Of
fee of governor by the opposing par
ty. | am at a loss to understand why
he should have been SO mistak-
en- as TO the facts. 1t can
not be charged to a Lack of orPor-
tunity to acquaint himself with the
affairs of the great state whose tinan-
cial record he has maligned.and of the
party he has assailed with all the
venom of Needless partisanship, with
out justification in fact. During the
last six years he has been an office
holder at jefferson City. where the
records are easy of access. and the
gentleman should have put himself in
possession of the facts before at
tempting to recite them or else main

COMPARATIVE EXHIBIT OF RE-
PUBLICAN AND DEMO
CRATIC RULE.
Eight years of republican rule prior
to democratic ascendency in 1878 cost
the taxpayers S164.40 more for print
ing the laws and journals than the
cost for a like purpose under 2s
years of democratic rule.
During 1867 and 1868. the last years
of Gov. Fletcher's administration, the
republican party expended S76,669.99
more for printing, copying and
distributing the laws and journals
than was expended during the last
two years of Gov. Stephens admins
tration for the same objects. That is
to say, the republicans expended
more than eight times as much money
for this purpose in 1867 and 1865 than
the democrats did in 1899 and 1900. A
like favorable exhibit is disclosed by
the official records in favor of demo-
cratic management in the expenses of
the general assembly. During the
eight years of republican and liberal
republican rule prior to the admins
tration of Gov. Woodson, the pay and
contingent expenses of the Legislature
amounted to $l,514.0 24.S4, while the
expenditures for the same purposes
under 2S years of democratic control
were S2,S25. 5O3.13. That is to say. the
average annual expenditures of re-
publican administrations during eight
years of control was S1S9,253.10.

looled the sketches over, and In q
AiAguSted way exclaimed;
"Not bit, There is not line In
all these that gives any promise
They are crude--in fact, they are
awful. II that is all you can do,
quit. The hand that drew these
things can never be the hand OF a

"Are you quite sure, Mr.. Gibson
that with study the person who
made these drawings might not ac'
complish something"
"Quite sure" said Gibson. "There
Is no hope"
Then the boy, with detected air,
said; "Mr. Gibson, my father Is out
side. VIII you see him and tell him
what you have tod meP"
ooh, show him in" said Gibson,
anxious TO end the interview,
The father came in and asked
care you sure these drawings give

"They are awful" said Gibson
"The boy will never make an artist
Don't lei him wnste his time"
Just then Gibson took n second

"Your face is familiar Have l met

Gibson gasped. lie had passed on

had made him foolish.
There was a good laugh of course,
but Gibson did not feel like laugh
