We were somewhat disappointed
in the Independent last week. We
naturally expected to see that pa
per welding its editorial weapon
in the defence of Herr Most and
the principle of free speech. In
stead of which, however, it per-
mits Hon. Herr Most to 60 to the
prison withouta a word of protest and
devotes nearly half column of its
extremely valuable space in an ef-
fort to get its editorial writer squar-
ed against the allegations made by
the Journal, after it had already
asserted that no one believed what
we had said. In order to prove
that Mckinley was a despot and
endangered the liberties of the
American people the editorial
writer of the Independent recedes
himself back into the dim past 300
years, gets Charles the First of
England by the ears and, together
with the period during which he
reigned, drags him forth and
compares them with Mckinley and
the period of the latter's admins
tration. If the gentleman who in
dites the peculiar sentiments which
appear regularly in the columns
of our contemporary had written
them in Charles the First's time
he would have had his massive in
tellect Topped off just above the
shoulders within few hours after
the paper had come out. How
ever as he is contempory with the
Mckinley period, what brains be
really has are likely to remain with
him to the conclusion of his natur
al end. We have never belieyed
the writer altogether a damphool,
though he sometimes forces this
conviction upon us; and if we
thought there was any probability
that the readers of the Independen,
actually believed his driveling.
about the dangers to our libertie:
as a result Of the policy pursued
by President Mckinley, we would
urge a hurried completion of d
certain institution the state is
building at Pennington.

Fruit Farming.

The following from the Marshal
Mail is appliabIe to this county, Is
we'll:
Will fruit farming pay! This
question has been asked many
times in the past fifteen years by
the farmers of this section, hu,
it will not be asked again. The
only question asked is: how well
does it pay, and the answers
are as varied as the care of the
orchard varies, but all agree that
Il well cared for orchard pays an
enormous per cent profit to the
grower.
The thrush of fruit buyers to
this section every fruit year shows
the increasing demand for market
able fruit. The increase in prices
paid shows that the demand is not
being filled. In 1899 apples sold
for $1.OO Il barrel, in 1900 for
S1.75 per barrel, and this year
prices have gone up to $3.50. An
old fruit grower says apples can
be grown in this county at so cents
per barrel. This gives net pro
fit of 500 per cent on the invest:
ment.
We can not realize the worth of
the Webster county hills i'll Or
chartls. $500 will buy 40 acres Of
land and plant it in apple trees.
$50 per year would care for the
orchard. At the end Of ten years
81, 900 will have been invested.
The first crop will pay the origin
al investment. The second crop
will pay all back interst and extr:
expenses. The third crop pays
500 per cent over the cost of caring
for the trees, and continue to pay
at the same rate for the next ten
or fifteen years. Fruit growing
pays and pays well. The only
danger cf loss comes from neglect
in the grower to care for his Or
chard.
We have a fortune in our rough
and hilly lands and heallhful eli
mate. Will we gather in this har-
vest? Wealth and independence
is in sight Of everyone that will put
his hand to the plow and never
turn back. Plant an orchard.
Plant it and care for it. Plan,
until every hillside and hollow is
covered with thrifty apple trees.
and soon our country will outrank
the mining centers of the west in
wealth.

asylum. The contract was let a
few days ago for the erection of
several buildings necessary before
the Institution will be of any bcne-
fit to the state. These buildings
are to cost only about $35, 600,
Which is said to be far below the
amount of the originally estimated
cost. The reason given out for
this is that the asylum commission
ers had to bring the cost of the
buildings within the amount Of
funds they have available.
This is the first call for building
purposes that has been made up
on the appropriation of S145,O0O
and yet there is less than one fourth
of the sum ''available," and the
buildings have to be skimpped to
make this go round. 1t is certain
ly strange that nearly year after
and appropriation has been made
by the Legislature for specific
purpose there should be only a
small portion of it on hand. 1t
gives us the idea that the state is
short on cash and has to portion
out what it has in driblets to keel
mouths shut. The sum just given
the Pennington asylum was only
forthcoming after the Democratic
papers in this part of the state were
beginning to ask embarrassing
questions.

The Farminptou Herald one

The Pennington Herald one OF
the earliest and heretofore most
steadfast adherents of the 16 to 1
ratio, has ''flew the COOP and
eonfesses that when such Demo
Gratis as Senator Cockrell and ex-
Gov Stone believe that under the
present conditions there is no ur-
gent necessity to keep up the fight
for free coinage at an infexible
ratio Of 16 to /, it is willing to
submit to their superior judgment.
Here is where the Herald shows
more sense than our contemporary
up the street, which will never
confess any judgment superior to
its own.

Here was the extraordinary, but
nndisputed, fact that Democratic
administrations since 1871 had
spent S44, 900, 900 to reduce Il state
debt of $40, 100000 TO $4,000. 900.
The Globe-Democrat's second ia
bic was published August 90, and
the Democratic discrepancy-makers
walked straight into a steel trap.
By ignoring the fact that the schoo!
fund must be repaid the Republic
printed figures asserting that
the real discrepancy in bonded
debt reduction was ''only $751;
$50" There was much subsc-
quent wriggling to get out of the
admission, but it was in vain, for
the shortage in bonded debt reduc-
tion is found in the sinking fund,
also. The Globe Democrats third
table, printed August %, showed
the discrepancy between the issue
of certificates of Indebtedness and
the cancellation of state bonds.
the amount of certificates is ST.
1913, $50, but the amount of the
state bonds Cancelled to offset the
certificates is very much less. This
discrepancy is more obscure than
the others as to the exact amount
on account of the obscure book
keeping, but the difference is large
in any case. The Globe Demo-
Gratis fourth table appeared Aug.
81, and showed an astonishing
overpayment of bonded debt inter-
est amounting to 81, 1,273, ,12O. The
fifth table, which appeared Sept.
5, set forth a discrepancy of ST.
O3O, ,671 in the sinking fund itself,
which means a cash shortage in
bonded debt reduction, and there
is no evidence in the auditors latest
published report that the money is
on hand.
The figures are already before
the public in Democratic official
figures. They can not be recalled.
They are in the published reports
of Democratic state auditors. If
the figures of the exhibit prepared
by Gov. Dockery's experts differ
from the published reports of state
auditors, the situation will be a
Democratic official statement pit
ted against an outside Democratic
statement. Coy. Dockery is re-
quired by the state constitution in
questions of bookkeeping to call
upon the auditor for sworn state
ment. He has preferred to sum-
mon New York and Chicago ex-
perts, but if the figures they pre-
pare for him do not agree with
the auditors published reports he
merely strengthens the charge
against the party. If the experts
and auditors agree then the dis
crepancies in the Globe Democrat
must stand. When the confession
is complete-and it is oozing to the
surface fast-we have additional
expert figures to show that the
loss to the people of Missouri by
various croOkedness an unconstitu-
tional manipulations of the state

tions since January l, 1871, ex-
