STATE GETTING OUT OF DEBT.
Governor Dockery Says Another
Year Will Free Missouri.

SPECIAA
jefferson City,. Mo-. Aug. Ex-Governor
Dockery was asked to-day when, in his
opinion. the last of the bonded debt would
be paid.
when the Democratic party took control
OF the affairs Of this State on the first Of
January, 1873" the Governor said, 1T found
an outstanding bonded Indebtedness of SD
SO. 900. These were twenty-year bonds, bore
s and Z per cent interest. and were sold
in the markets at a pronounced discount
These bonds were refunded by Democratic
administrations at 3is per cent. and the re-
newal bonds sold at a premium They are
redeemable at the pleasure of the State.
THE Board Of Fund Commissioners has
tust called in SEQ. coo of bonds for payment.
This call will reduce the bonded debt proper
to s1.5s7. 900. and careful show
they will all be paid by the first of January.
1903. notwithstanding the million-dollar ap-
preparation for the Worlds Fair.
1T has taken a long time to pay the
bonds. which are the heritage of Repupli-

credit and made burdensome tax levies.
both for State and local purposes. That the
Democratic party will be able TO fully liqui-
date the bonded debt OF the State during
the coming year is a tribute to Its honesty
end efficient business management from the
DAYS of Silas Wocdson until the present
time. for 1t must be that this
debt reduction has been made upon a tax
levy of one-hal of that imposed by the Re-
publican party.
1T has been a long pull for the taxpayers
of Missouri. for Republican rule in this
State was very costly. The taxpayers are
to be congratulated that at the close of the
next year Missouri will. except the sacred
obligations we owe to ourselves, for the
benefit of the school fund endowments Of
our splendid educational system, be fully
emancipated from debt"

1T SOUNDS PROMISING.

In the PierpOnt Morgan project for a
profit-sharing c~opartnership between
capital and labor as represented in the
United States Steel Company there may
be found an idea well worthy of de.
velopment into accomplished fact.
1t woul certainly seem that the sue
cessful operation of a plan enabling
w~orkingmen TO become stockholders in
the corporations by which they are EN-
plOyed, obtaining their stock on special
ly favorable terms, would be a good
thing for both employer and employed.
The companies could well afford to
make every possible concession to work
ingmen In facilitating the latter's pur-
chases of stock. Their gain in faithful
attention to and interest In the business
would more than repay them.
The Inauguration of the Morgan CO.
operative idea should be encouraged by
public sentiment. Its tendency Il. in the
right direction. When labor and capital
both share eqLitably in the returns on
labor and capital their disputes and con.
ficts should be things Of the past.
There have been many experiments
already in this direction, but none on a
scale SO large or in connection with ell
terprises so capable Of pursuing the
plan to decisive success or failure. The
country would learn a great deal IL the
MOrgan-Schwab combination decides to
press the project to a conclusion.

SOME OPPOSITION TO

In Santiago Harbor. and which II sanctioned
by Secretary Long. Commander Hobson and

Indifference in some quarters and opposa-

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans. who COM
manded the Iowa in the battle Of Santiago,
when the subject was brought to his ate

Il believe all the officers in the American
Navy who came in contact with Admiral

TO THE POINT.

The Washington Post. usually an in
telligent newspaper, has been misled by
Republican Ananiases in Missouri. 1t
says that the baliot-boxes in st. Louis
are closed to prevent access to proofs
OF fraud.
Does the Post know a State in the
Union which opens its ballot-bOxes on
charges of fraud? The laws of Missouri
permit the inspection of ballots in a con-
test proceeding, but only In q contest
proceeding. This condition Of the law
has existed for a long time and has
never before been questioned.
Judge Marshall and the Supreme
Court Of Missouri hold that the secrecy
Of the ballot is a fundamental guaran-
tee; that no proceeding can be permitted
to compare ballots with registration lists
In a way to expose the citizens vote.
That is the sum of the whole matter.
Violations of election laws r pun
ishable in Missouri as in other States.
There is nothing to prevent prosecution
and punishment under processes and
evidence usual in other States. Bribery,
repeating, violence and all the rest of
the crimes against the suffrage be
proved and punished as in other States.

fice-dog politics of Missouri Republic.
