To His beautiful home above,
And this has broken the circle
OF happiness and love
Yet He Is able 10 comfort

And He is always ready
To bear the burden home

And in His faith rely,
That We NAV greet the loved ones
In that heavenly home on high.

The Kansas City Star, Of Saturday

death of a former prominent citizen
of Bates county. The deceased was
a brother OF our mayor, j. s. Fran
cisco:
j. j. Francisco, once county treas
urer OF Cass county, is dead. The
body will be shipped to Pleasant Hill
for burial. Mr.. Francisco was deputy
internal revenue collector in Kansas
City about ten years ago. He had n
good deal TO do with the securing Of
the right ofway over land when the
Pittsburg K Gulf railway was build
ing. He was 81 years old.
Mr.. Francisco was an ex-Confeder-
ate. He farmed for time after the
war in Cass county. He came to
Kansas City in 1885. Later he
moved to Rich Hill and was made
cashier of the Farmers and Mecban-
les bank of that place. He returned

REASON Z. Because 1t Is time that
the books of the city be exam-
lined.
The present incumbent is going from
one Republican stump to another and ex-
tolling his own system Of bookkeeping.
He is probably the only man in st. Paul
who knows anything about the system.
His say-so has become a part of the po-
htical creed of the gang, which they
have sought to thrust down the threats
of the public No one understands Mr..
McCardy's bookkeeping but himself. 1t is
time everybody did. If Mr. Betz is elect
ed everybody soon will. Figurejuggling
will come to an end. The taxpayer will
have something to fall back on besides
growl from the watchdog. Any job
in favor of the gang which may have
been covered out of sight will be un-
earthed, and we will know with some ac-
curacy just where the city is at as the
result Of three worthless and dangerous
reform administrations.

from Lord Roberts, dated BIoemfontein,
April 25, 1925 p. m.:

Dark Picture of the Future Govern
ment of America.

WICHITA, Kan, April 25.-Allan o.
Myers, of Ohio, responding to a toast at
the banquet of the Sunfower League of
Kansas, following William j. Bryan,
created a sensation by his utteranees
Mr.. Bryan did not finish his speech I'M
til l o'clock this morning. Mr. Myers
drew dark picture. The country was
fast racing to destruction, he said, and
Mark Hanna, William Mckinley and
Great Britain were doing it. Then, sud
denly turning toward Mr.. Bryan, the
speaker exclaimed:
you may be elected, sir, by a million
majority, but they will not permit you
to take the presidential chair. Look at
the fate of William Goebel. Men whose
pastime is bribery find in murder an
amusement. Ohio was bought in 1896, the
country was bought. 1t will be bought
again in 1900, and Mark Hanna's reward
for 1t is a seat In the United States SEN
ate.'
The masses of the country would con-
tinue to permit the encroachments on the
classes, continued Mr.. Myers, until final
ly too late for a restoration of rights by
the ballot. Then the sword and gun, VIC
lence, revolution new order of things
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-04-26

REASON @. Because anything less
than complete wtping out of
the present perniciOus gang Will
fall short OF the expectation of
Improvement in the affairs of the
city which the people now en-
terrain.
The people Of st. Paul have clearly
shown that they are tired of the rule of
corruption and incompetency which has
prevailed under Republican auspices.
Unless this office is turned over to the
Democracy by the election of Mr.. Betz 1t
is reasonably certain that every move
ment which may rebound to the credit of
the administration will be hampered, and
every obstacle put in its path The people
expect to see ST. Paul prosper and adj
vance under Mayor Smiths administra
ton as 1t did during his former admin
istrations instead of standing still, if nto
going backwards, as it has done for four
years. The new charter admits of adj
vances. To secure them there must be
a complete cleaning out.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-04-26

REASON 4. Because he is not a
demasogue and does not profess
to be any better or wiser than
other people.
A man who has large business inter-
ests to look after and who looks after
them successfully knows little and cares
less about the arts by which the public
is fooled. Mr.. Betz will not go out of his
way to either deceive or humbug the
public. He will not withhold or embar-
rass the payment of legitimate claims
simply because he is ambitious of being
regarded as the watchdog of the treas
ury, or for any other reason. He will
not withhold payment of what he believes
to be legal and will promptly pay what
the city is responsible for. He is not fool
enough to try to play the roll Of his own
attorney and he will not feel 1t proper to
put the city to the expense of litigation
on the strength of every false view he
personally may entertain as to the pro,
visions of the law under which he acts

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-04-26

REASON 3. Because he is in NO
sense politician depending on
OfIice-hOIding for his living, but
enters this contest only in re-
Spouse to the popular demand
for n general change in the adj
ministratiOn of city office.
Mr.: Betz has never sought office. He
is not seeking it now The nomination
was thrust upon him, and he turns from
the cares of his private business In re-
Spouse to the requisition which has been
made on him by his personal and political
friends and by the public, that he put
an end to the turmoil and bitterness
which attend the discharge Of all Off
cial business with the comptroller's office
as at present administered Being be-
yond the need of the emoluments of the
Office he is certain to administer its du-
ties on the lines Of the public interest.
and to sacrifice nothing to the necessities
of holding the public favor or the emolu-
'aents which that favor brings with it
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-04-26

REASON I. Because he possesses
the two essential qualifications
for the office. He is an honest
man and an expert accountant.
Mr.. Betz is native of St. Paul. He
has grown up among our people, is young,
active, intelligent and upright No man
can point to any stain or suspicion at
taching to him in any relation in life
He is generally known among his friends
and neighbors as a man of the finest
sense Of personal rectitude. In working
his way to his present splendid position
in the business world Mr.. Betz has for as
long a period as eight years had charge
of the books of an extensive wholesale
business, and is familiar with accounts
to the last detail. His personal probity
will secure his rejection of all doubtful
claims against the city; his personal ur-
banity will secure for citizens who deal
with him officially courteous and consid-
crate treatment
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-04-26

REASON 5. Because, in order to
insure the successful operation
of the incoming Democratic ad-
ministration, it will be necessary
to place the office of comptroller
in the hands of a man who will
not be interested in misrepre-
senting the conduct of that adj
ministratiOn.
From the moment the present incum-
bent came into control of his Office the
movement was inaugurated of distortins
every act of Democratic officials and
either ignoring or extollng every act Of
Republicans. This has continued cons
stantly for ten years. 1t is necessary
that 1t be brought to an end for the bet
ter understanding by the public of their
servants and for the good name of the
city which it has been instrumental in
running down, particularly through the
foolish and pernicious policy adopted
toward our schools.
