JEFFERSON BARRACKS.

Secretary Of War Roots promise of a
liberal policy In the improvement and
maintenance of Jefferson Barracks as
an important military post should mean
IN the near future an appropriate recOg-
milton of what has long been known as
one Of the most deserving and yet most
neglected army stations in the entire
Union
There Is good reason to believe that
the personal visit of the Secretary Of
War will yet result in the just treat
rhent Of Jefferson Barracks as first
class army post.
Mr.. Root Is free of prejudices that
have hitherto prevailed to bring about
the official ignoring Of the claims Of
Jefferson Barracks. He Is animated by
an earnest desire for the best possible
performance Of his duty as Secretary Of
War. 1t was this spirit which led to
his personal inspection Of Jefferson Bar
racks, with view to passing upon its
deserts. The same spirit should insure
the improvement and fitting main
tenance Of this historic post.
Secretary Root definitely announces
that troops sufficient to make Jefferson
Barracks a first-class army post in re-
spect to numbers will shortly be sta
toned there. 1t may reasonably be
hoped that this will be followed by the
establishment Of large purchasing
supply depot, and, In time, by all the i'm.
provements which have already been
made in other posts Of no greater natu'
raj importance than Jefferson Barracks
St Louis viii confidently look to Secre
tary Root for this recognition of a long
and unjustly neglected army post.

KEEP up THE AGITATION.

Our esteemed afternoon contempt
rary, the st. Louis Star, is now desper-
ately thrashing over old straw in an en-
deavor to sustain the exploded Repub
ican contention that the State School
Fund has been mishandled by the Dem
Ocratic party in control Of Missouri af-
fairs.
are the same old arguments that were
urged by the entire Republican press Of
the State during the political campaign
Of November, 1900, and upon which the
people Of Missouri rendered their YER
dict at the polls. Fortunately for the de-
velopment Of the truth, the State School
Fund issue was raised by the Republic
ans early in the campaign, and the full
facts Of the management Of the fund by
successive Democratic administrations
were brought out in detail 1t was
proved to the satisfaction Of the people
Of the State that the Democratic party
was to be credited with wise and prof
liable management lof the fund, rather
than charged with its mismanagement
and dissipation. as
Learning nothing, the Star now comes
to the front with q revival Of these dis
proved charges. It contends that there
is now nothing to show for the fund ex-
cept lot of State certificates Of doubt

the sophistry that instead Of being an
asset for the schools, the fund Is an In
rest-bearing liability against the
State" 1t raises the old Republican cry
that 1.-THE $4,000 600 of bonds that be.
longed to the public schools are gone
and that IL they are ever replaced II
must be through repurchase Of them
by the taxpayers Of the State"
The truth Of the situation is simple
What is left of the State School Fund il
"a lot Of State certiicates"-bonds-te
the value of which the credit Of the
State of Missouri, as prosperous and
solvent as any State in the Union, fl
| pledged. The revenue from this invest
ment Of the fund goes to the continued
improvement and maintenance Of thu
common schools of Missouri, instead o.
to the outside holders Of Missouri Sc
curities. To retire the State certificates
Of Indebtedness which represent the In
vestment Of the fund would incur n,
greater penalty on the taxpayers Of Mis-
souri, than would the retirement Of tn
State bonds which would be outstand
ing but for this form of investment O
the fund. The State certificates of in
debtedness represent State debt jus
as the State bonds for which they wer
exchanged represented State debt. TIL
State certificates Of Indebtedness ar
just as good security as State bonds
and there Is no better security possibl
in the Union.
4 The Star is wasting its time in this N
vival Of the State School Fund contrt
versy. There is no Democratic objet
ton, however, to this revival. MiSsoul
Democracy is more than willing for
renewed discussion Of the issue. Tn
more fully and freely it is discussed, til
J greater the benefit to the Democrat
. party in this State. Republicans e.
gagged in this discussion deserve ii
thanks Of the State Democracy for rel
dering. valuable Democratic service.
