State Auditor Allen on y esterday
notified State Superintendent Car
rington that 81 ,0SG, ,020,8l would be
available for the support Of the pub
lie schools during the present school
year. This amount will be appor-
toned to the several counties. and
the City of St. Louis in proportion
to the number of children Of
school age.
In 1900 the total amount appol-
toned was 990,430, Sc, or per cap.
ita of one dollar and three mills for
each child of school age.
7 The total distribution, therefore,
this year exceeds that of last year
by 95,590,25, and the per capita dis,
trioution will be correspondingIy
increased.
This apportionment of school
moneys for the education Of our
children is made pursuant to the re-!
quirements of the constitution,
which directs that not less than one.
fourth of the ordinary State reve-
nues shall be set apart annual y for
the support of the public schools.
Under Democratic cont oil this ap
portionment is increased TO one.
third. This amount, together with
the annual interest on the State
school certificates, constitutes the
magnificent fund which has just been
apportioned by State Auditor Allen.
The growth Of our school fund
under Democratic management is
shown by the following official
exhibit:
In 1871 the State distributed for
school purposes $3.50, ,5G73S; in 1881
$5l9,001,16, in 1891, $S76,7S0,6S;
and in 1901, ST, ,086,0 ,020,S1.
The distribution of school moneys
for educational purposes during this
year is the largest in the history of
the state. is hoped that the Globe
Democrat will take note Of this
"looting" of the school moneys by
the Democratic administration. The
"looting" is of larger proportions
than any prior ravishment of the
State Treasury. The Democratic
party is pledged to % continuance
of this "looting."- efferson City

A man told us the other day that
we didn't publish all the things that
happen. We should say we don't.
In the, first place we have others who
depend on us for a living. If we
publish all that happens we should
soon be with the angels. In order
to please people we must print only
nice things on them and leave the
gossips out, yes it's fact we don't
print all the Lews. If we did would

We notice in nearly all of our southeast
exchanges that the institutes have just
closed. 1t seems that the Jaw has been
misunderstood or the managers in the
different counties are still desirous OF
having the examinations connected with
the institutes. The meeting of the
teachers in June and August are for ex-
aminations alone, and the institute is to
be held separate, and no examinations is
to be held with them.-Jackson Herald.
WE have noticed that, too, Bro. Lusk,
and wondered whether law so plainly
worded and the instructions so plainly
given, by State Superintendent Caring
ton, could have been misunderstood or
whether we misunderstood the reports.

Civil Rule In The Philippines.

Kansas City Times: The ceremonies in
Manila on the Fourth of July, attending
the transference Of the reins of govern
ment from the military to the civil power
are described as having been imposing
and impressive.
There were booming of cannon, pro-
cessions and speeches, topped off by a
magnificent military ball and state ban
quet.
The REIMBURSEMENT Of the command
Of the army by General Macarthur to
General Chaffee was accompanied by all
the pomp and martial observances that
military etiquette prescribes, and when
it was over with, Hon. William r. Taft,
standing on a projecting center of the
tribune in the palace formerly occupied
by the Spanish governor general, took
the oath Of office as governor of the
Philippines, which was administered by
Chief Justice Arellano. And thus was
the civil government Of the United States
over an archipelago containing between
eight and ten million polyglot Asiatics
inaugurated,
The Filipino leaders attended the cere-
monies and professed an intention to cor
daily cooperate with the new govern
ment In securing peace, order and res
spect for the authority Of the United
States to the islanders.
The task that Governor Taft has before
him Is one Of the most difficult that ever
confronted u civil official, and, both fol
the sake Of American prestige and fol
the benefit that his success may bring tC

MUCH suffering and manv deaths

OF winter, the poor in the cities fre-

ing fatally, cannot be realized by

1t would be more in harmony with
American good faith. with American
fundamental beliefs and implied prom
ises, if the Filipinos had been given alb
solute instead of qualified independence.
But the party in power has not realized
these justified expectations. 1t has seen
fit to enter upon an experiment that in
wolves rerogression from the policies
and principles pursued by all political
parties for more than century.
It is not believed that the aspiration
for self-government can be eradicated
from the hearts of people who have
struggled so long to achieve emancipa-
ton from a foreign yoke; but if the feat
can be accomplished, it will be only
through the admission into share of the
government of the Philippines of native
leaders and the gradual introduction of
home rule.

Consul.General Mason sends

IN Prussia alone will BIZ 1,766,0O0
tons. worth at the present price
over $67,o00,o00.
From Paris comes the report that
the French wheat crop will be SO
deficient as to make necessary the
;mnortation of at least S6,0O0,000
bushels, worth at the present price
about $26,OoO,0oo.
Here then is a prospective for
eigu demand for nearly $loo'ooo,ooo
worth of American grain over and
above the demand of last year. The
Russian and Argentine wheat crops
are both reported to be less than
last wear. Our own wheat crop, as
now estimated, will be something
over 7Oo,ooo,ooo bushels, which is
one.third larger than the crop
of 1900.
Whethor, however, the present
price OF " cerAs q bushel will be
maintained, increased or lowered
depends upop conditions that can
moi now be foreseep. But at this

,hat American wheat will rule the

he saw the error of his ways, he
confessed his sin and turned over to

send money to the government, to
