Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1901-10-23

President Roosevelt seems to
have agitated some of the leading
Democratic papers of the south by
having had BookerT. Washington,
the well-known negro educator, to
dine with him at the White House.
They argue that the President has
by this action given the whites of
the South a slap in the face and
will render futile any attempt he
may make to build up white Re-
publican party in tho southern
states. We don't see any occasion
for the southern people to be dis
turbed over this little incident, The
dinner was an entirely private enc,
Mr.. Washington being the only in
vited guest, and if the President
was satisfied to have him sit ut bis
table it ought not be any one else's
business. Mr.. Washington is one
of the best representatives Of hi.
rnce. educated and refined, and
tho only thing that bars him from
complete social intercourse with
The whites is tho prejndice against
his color.

The Story of Discrepancies.

On August 81 last, nearly two
months ago, the Globe Democrat
began the publication Of specific
tables showing immense discrepan-
cies in the published reports of the
unbroken succession of Democratic
auditors in this state between Jan.
1, 1871, and Jan. 1, 1901. a per-
iod of thirty years. Our figures
were copied from the auditors re-
ports year by year by a practical
accountant. We offered to correct
any error that could he pointed out
in the reproduction of the figures,
but they have not been challenged.
Our first table gave the amount re.
ceived since January 1, 1871, for
the reduction of the bonded debt
of the state and the payment Of
interest ON that debt. Bear in
mind that the bonded debt when
the Democrats came into power in
January 1, 1871, was $40, 1889, 9OS.
Our table taken entirely from the
published reports of Democratic
state auditors proved that the state
treasury had received, to apply to
tho bonded debt and its interest

the 6rayest Charge.

The most serious indictment to
be brought against Missouri
Bourbonism is the open and
frequent violation of the state con-
stitution to which it pleads guilty.
1t is this violation which leads di-
rectly to all of the other crimes
against it. A strict observance of
the constitution would have saved
it from the looting of the school
fund, a crime it has confessed, and
for the sin of which it is asking
forgiveness and renewed conf
dence. An honest Interpretation
of the constitution would have led
its majority on the supreme bench
to put out the statutes, practically,

ates that the little Republican pa
pers in this state are simply little
liars, playing in harmony with the
ksynotes of the big liar, the Globe
