Phelps administration, and he was
speaking from Democratic stand
point. Republicans, basing their
estimate on the assessed valuation
of property in the state, maintain
that the entire state debt should
have been discharged fourteen or
fifteen years ago. The Republican
figures. conservative as they are,
so nearly substantiate Senator
Vests prediction as to leave no room
to any longer doubt the misman-
agement of the states finances by
the ring which has held control of
the state government so many
years. Is it not time that the pco-
pie of Missouri were making an
effort to discover what is being
done with the money they are pay
ing annually on the state debt?
To continue the ring in power
promises no relief, the thing to do
is to turn the rascals out and give
the account books a thorough over
hauling.

who are sacrificing our young
American blood for trade, what
price do you put on it! When q
mother loses her son in a war for
liberty it is the noblest sacrifice,
bat when you shed the blood Of
American boys for conquest and
trade you dishonor our traditions
and put shame upon our mother
hood This is sentiment. The
history of all civilized mankind
shows not a single instance where
the spirit of sentiment has been
permitted to obtrnde itself in the
path Of the spirit of civilized pro-
grcss. Our own history denies
Bryan's sentimental doctrine. From
the time when the Pilgrims landed
upon Plymouth Rock American
mothers have been giving up their
sons in a ceaseless war for con-
quest. The blood of American
youth has dyed the continent from
ocean to ocean that American
trade might be extended and the
nation expand. The crest Of the
wave of ''commercialized civilza-
ton has passed the shores of our
western boundaries and is now
beating upon the shores of the
islands of the far East. Bryan's $
mawkishness cannot stop it, moth
ing can stop it; it is the destiny of
the race that impels it ever onward.
The progress of civilized mankind
is always practical and never scn-
timental.

According to the Salem Republi-

According to the Salem Republi-
can Headlight Senator Vest once
made the prediction that the
Democrats would have the state
debt paid off at the close of Gov.
Phelps administration. Nineteen
years have elapsed since the ex-
piration of Gov. Phelps term Of
office and eight million dollars of
a debt amounting originally to
only twenty millions still remains
unpaid. We were not fal from
wrong in warning the taxpayers
that our Democratic friends would
mulct them Of another forty mil
lion dollars in state intel est taxes
before that ''old Republican debt"
is entirely wiped out under Demo-
cratic management. However, if
Senator Vest really made the
prediction which our Salem con-
temporary attributes to him, it
is capable of startling interpreta-
ton. A Missouri Democrat never
believes that Senator Vest makes
idle statements where it affects the
interests of his party; in fact, the
faithful here consider the ''Little
Giant" nothing less than a verita-
BILE fountain of truth. Thus, in
the prediction he made so many
years ago lies an allusion to the
actual amount of revenue collected
on state interest tax account at that
time. Vest, who must have been
on the inside, believed the tax was
sufficient to pay off the debt during

The Democratic clique in this
county is urging Republicans to
come out for nomination on the
Republican ticket. They select
such men only whom they know
will be kickers in case they are
defeated for the nomination, or
who can be beaten at the polls.
We say, therefore, to Republicans
seeking Office, who is supporting
your candidacy for the nomination !
IF your Republican friends are
behind you, you are all right; but
if it is your Democratic friends
who are urging you to run, they
only seek to advance their own in
terests through your defeat and
Humiliation,

Missouri's Democratic dclega-
ton in the House stood solidly
against the Nicaraguan canal bill
when that measure came up for a
vote last week, although the bill
was not made the basis of a partisan
fight and passed the House by a
vote of 225 to 35. A Missouri
Democrat cannot get away from
his Bourbon instincts under any
circumstances. The Nicaraguan Ca
nal is national necessity, but if the
project were dependent upon the
consent of the Bourbon Congress-
men from Missouri it would never
he built.

1t is up to the Republicans of
this county to put a strong county
ticket in the field this year. Much
will depend upon the action Of the
Republican voters at their precinct
meeting when they gather to elect
delegates to the county convention
which selects the party's candi-
dates. Let the Republicans guard
these meetings against Demo-
cratic strikers who, under the pre-
tence of being Republicans, are
working in the interest of the op-
position and will try to secure the
of candidates whom
they know will be defeated in the
election. The "Republican" who
is working for the defeat of the
Republican ticket should be driven
into the party to which he proper,
ly belongs, the sooner the better.
We have already seen too much of
the effects of having nurscd politi-
cal vipers to its bosom upon the

licans take the management of the
