The news now comes from JEFF
ferson City that an expert account
ant has been imported by the State
Auditor to 90 over the books and
get at the true state of their condi-
tiou. Thus it appears, in spite of
all asseverations to the contrary,
that there is something wrong with
the books, and that the force in
tho auditors Office is alone unable
to get them in proper balance. The
published reports of the State Au.
ditor are supposed to he a true alb
stract report of the financial affairs
of tho state and the law con.
templates that they shall so be.
But, in tho hands of competcn,
accountants these reports show a

According to the figures of the
State Auditors reports the state
debt should have been wiped out
several years ago. The continued
levy of the state interest tax is
therefore robbery of the taxpay-
ers. Democrats who don't mind
being robbed in the name of Dem
Ocracy will pay the tax with as
sumed cheerfulness, but there
ought to be enough Democrats in
the state who would object to be-
ing robbed in any name to turn the
rascals out at the next election.

Men of the People.

The Republican party has suffer-
cd more from the assassination of
its leaders called to the highest
station than any other ever formed.
In looking back over the line of
martyrs the historian will be struck
by the fact that all three, Lincoln,
Garfield and Mckinley, were sons
of poverty who rose to cminence
through the recognition of great
qualities by their fellow citizens.
Lincoln was SO poor that he had to
educate himself; Garfield paid
for his education by manual labor
on the towpath and elsewhere; Nc
Kinley came from a long line of
toilers. who were too poor to OBJ
tain college course and was COM
PEELED at an early age to earn bis
bread. All these men, great by
natures birthright, though born
in poverty, fell by the pistols of
assassins. In speech last week
on these martyrs of American his
tory, Gen. Grosvenor said: 1.-The

railroad organization of the ooun-
try, in the mighty industrial field

leadership, have come up from the
humble walks of American boy.

We notice in our Democratic ex.
changes frequent mention Of actual
and prospective candidates for the
nomination for the Supreme Judge
ship on the Democratic ticket.
We have also noted that in Demo
cratic state politics the candidates
for the Judgeships always make the
initial move of the general state
campaign. A peculiar and vital
significance undoubtedly underlies
this early agitation of the nomina-
tions for positions in the states
highest tribunal. Tracing the
Democratic party's hold upon the
state through all its rami6cations
it will be seen that even the Su-
preme Court is not free from that
rabid partisanship which arranges
elections in Missouri so as to ''leave
nothing to chance" The Supreme
Court must give the final word as
to the constitntionality of the acts
Of the Legislature. The Demo-
cratic Legislature having passed
the Nesbit, police, and other parti-
san laws, a Democratic Supreme
Court is necessary to sustain them,
and so far the court has not failed
in what partisanship expected of it
The constitution of the state pro-
vides that in the case an election
contest is based upon alleged fraud
at the ballot box the boxes should
be opened and the ballots examined.
Democratic interests, however,
have d. m nd ed ballot-boxcs
sealed against inspection after the
votes have once been placed there
in, and a Democratic Supreme
Court calmly overides the consti-
tuition and says the ballot-boxes
are sealed against inspection.
These statements are not mere
conjecture, they are based upon
recent events with which the read
ing public is entirely familiar. Par
tisanship in the Supreme Court is
a dangerous tendency. 1t shuts
the door of the last resort tc free
elections and purity of the ballot.
Any party which uses this power
carries the stigma of dishonesty
and makes the highest court of
Justice a farce.
