Congressman Vandiver, in his
speech at the Democratic conven-
ton here recently, undertook to
make defence of the Democratic
party's manipulation of the state
school funds. The part of his
argument sustaining the LEGALITY
of the certificates of Indebtedness
which seemed to take strongest
hold upon the old-time Democrats
IN the audience was that the first
certificate and the last one had
been issued by Republican legisla-
lures. While this may be true so
far as it goes, Mr.. Vandiver, how
ever, was guilty of the sin Of
omission as all other Democrats
who take up the defense of this
question are disposed to be. While
the Republicans issued certain Ger
ti6cates to the school fund they
were not made substitute 20 a

The Fall Guy Of Democracy.

The Republic imagines it has
discovered what it most terms a
most ''nnholy alliance: namely.
the alleged political association of
Col. Kerens, Phelps and Meri-
wether, and concerning which one
might believe that chaos was about
to come again if one read the Re
public and was not acquainted
with the marvellous mcndacity and
inaccuracy of that sheet. If Col.
Phelps and Lee Meriwether have
decided to turn in and help elect
the Republican ticket, they have
come to a more marked degree of
political sanity than they ever eX-
hibited before; but as to that, no.
body we'll posted politically be-
lieyes that such an alliance exists,
though every man is invited to join
the Republican party, be he here
tofore, gold Or regular Democrat,
Populist or a believer in munici
pal ownership.
The truth of the affair is, that
it is the definite Democratic policy
of this campaign to keep public at
tention focused, if possible, on Col.
VIM. Phelps. He has been the at
torney Of the Missouri Pacific rail
road, and as such has had as part
of his duties the defense of that
corporation against the graftcrs in
legislative and other officers who
looked upon that and other rail
roads as legitimate prey. Phelps
was all right with the Democratic
grafters and bosses AS long as he
did what they wanted him to, but
the moment he developed opinions
of his own. he became all that is
politically evil. 1t was then de-
termined to make the Colonel the
''fall guy" for the Democratic
party. He was to be loaded with
all the sins of Dockery, Cook, Sci
bert ct al. and was to be driven
into the wilderness, even is the
scapegoat SO thoughtfully ,rovid-

We have heard several Demo
cratic campaign orators allude to
the boodling exposures in St.
Louis as involving only Republi-
cans and make play to discredit
the entire Republican organization
on the strength of this allegation
All the boodlers in Missouri do not
live in St. Louis, however. Take
up the testimony in the Cardwell
case, for instance. and you will find
that corruption has been as rife in
Jefferson City among men high in
the councils of the Democracy as
you will find it among the lowiy
delegates and councilmcn of the
city legislature. For years Just
such practices have been going on
in the state capital which have
brought about the indictments
and prosecutions in St. Louis-the
selling of legislation to the mouo-
polistic corporations. Are the
booblcrs in St. Louis any worse
than the boodlers in jefferson City?

Now that both county tickets
have been nominated the local cam
paign is fairly opened and the vot-
ers of each party can contrast the
men who compose the tickets. The
Republican ticket is made up of
we'll known citizens, several of
whom have never held office be-
fore. While we do not pretend
that they possess virtues above
those of average mankind, they
are. nevertheless. men who are
honest and competent; who are
ready to stand for Office upon their
personal merits, invoking no de
moralizing and vicious influences
to gain the advantage Of their OPP
ponents. Whatever may be said
of the candidates on the Democrat
ic ticket is tritely embraced in the
assertion made by the Independent
some months ago, that they will
use money and whiskey to ''se-
duce" the Republican voters from
their party allegiance.

Union (Neb. Ledger: The way
people take paper and pay for it
carries Joy to the editors heart. but
the way some people take it and dom t
pay for it often makes him wonder
how they can derive any pleasure from
reading a paper that is not worth pay

The business man who gives his

gets cheap stationary from d travelling

paper to try TO boom his business.
Treat your home Office right aud the

Perhaps you don't like some Of the

like it all ourselves. but there are sew
eral hundreds ot people who pay for
the paper, and each wants a little Of

a variety. just like a hotel bill Of

Washington County should by

Gratis may argue that the question
of party principle should 10: bc

this office, but that is all buncomh.
The issues which The next lerisIa

strictly partisan propositions. Let
us. therefore. send man to repre-

Democrat for United States Sent
tor: who will oppose the continu-
ance of the NeSbit election law up
on the statute books, and who is in
favor Of giving the account books

Republican Missouri.

Strange AS it may seem, the fact
that the Republican party is divid-
Cd in st. Louis. will help rather
than hart the chances Of part Of
the tichct-stateand congressional.
The Supreme Court nominees will
lie placed on both the straight Re.
publican and fusion tickets. and
therefore will receive the entire
Republican votes besides the Pub
lie Ownership vote. The Repub-
licun nominees for the CouIt Of
Appeals, superintendent Of public
schools and railroad commissioner
will likewise be benefited as well
As Congressman Barthold. Con
grcssman Joy and the Republican
nominee in the Twelfth District will
also receive larger vote, unless
Public Ownership candidates are
placed in the field. The Rcpubli
can Legislative and municipal tick
cts alone will suffer. But the city
Of St. Louis has only sixteen out
Of the 10 members of the House
Of Representatives and six Of the
thirty-four Senators. Three Of
the six Senators hold over for two
years and are Democrats, who owe
their seats to the Nesbit law. But
Nesbit law or no Ncsbit law, Re
publican division in st. Louis or
no division, Missouri outside of
St. Louis. can and will elect Re
publican Legislature, Supreme
Court and other state officers, us
well as well as congressional and
comfy tickets, next November.
Public sentiment Is overwhelming
iy with the Republican party this
year, and when the people are
once aroused no power on earth i,
not excepting even the Nesbit law,
can defeat their demand for con-
stitntional and clean government.

great independence. Her property
rights are carefully respected. She
owns much Of the wealth If he tribe.

Descent is traced through the female
line. It is a survival of the primitive

The Navajo woman has no perns-
nent home. The progress Of the tribe
has been greatly impeded by its dark

directly by Chinde, the devil. and that
evil spirits linger about the dead body
The house is never occupied again
The corpse is buried in the floor. and

quote the Independent of June 5th:
The virtuous Indignation of the
Potosi Republican convention
was so grotesquo in party
that is so hopelessly rotten in this
county that it puts up a pitiful
whine that although it has ma
jority of two hundred and fifty
votes, Yet there is not virtue
enough among its members to pre-
vent them from being seduced
from their party allegiance BY THE
MONEY AND wHIsKEY FURNISHED

influence voters in this county any
more than Republicans do? Look

three elections, they answer the
question positixelyn Had the Re-
publicans spent money as the Dem
ocrats did the outcome of those
elections would .have different. 1t
is 4 matter of common property
that four years ago one Democrat
spent the price of good farm to
get an Office. Another man, two
years ago, is said to have spent
$500, and another in the neigh
bsrhood Of $4,000, and so on.

the schools had nu proper credit
upon the states books. ). lar Is
it could be dome the Republicans
placed the school flnt! in govern
ment bonds. and in His shape they
turned it over to iilrir Democratic
successDrs. Mr. Nan>iiyrr admit
ted that one of the first thin gs the
Democrats d!,; on restlniiug control
Of the state was 20 take 81 $50, coo
of the government bonds and cx-
change them for state bonds and
and Tie state bonds for certificates
Of Indebtedness. He explained
that the government bonds were
losing their interest drawing
power, while the state bonds
were drawing tive und tx per cent /.
and tha; the schools were great
ly benefited by this transaction.
Had his auditors stopped to think
q moment they would have discoy-
cred that in~teHd of the taxpayers
Of the state being the bene;iciaries
Of this manipulation they were be-
inn made to shoulder the whole
load of the interest charge. The
speaker attempted to evadc this
point by saying it amounted to the
same ti!in- whether the state col
lectcl six per cent on its govern
ment bonds and paid it over to the
schools or collected six per cent On
the state bonds and paid that over.
Further along he stated that dur
ing Rel uhlican rule the distrihu-
ton of state school moneys annual
ly amounted to only % cents per
child, while at present, under
Democratic rule. it was four times
as mrch. He wanted t. know if
that co',Id be called Iooting the
school fund. when the looters
found only % cents and We're put
ting Il dollar in the place of it.
Just how many of the audience
thought of the fa,t that the aldi-
tioial - cents was being taken
from the pockets of the taxpayers
we cannot say. bnt Judging from
the effect the point made we drew
the conclusion that a good many of
them imagined that the - cents
were a kind of a gratuitouS Gift to
them. II Mr.. Eandiyer had want
ed 90 tell the truth about the school
fund he would have said: the
schools have not a cent of revenue
that is not derived from current
taxation: that the certificates of in
debtedness represent no cash value;
that the S4,30O,000 they call for
can never be made cash capital
again until people have taken the
money from their pockets and put
it back into the treasury.
