Yes, dear reader, the state school
fun1 has been looted. The
Democrats cannot show a single
dollar of what was once a splendid
fund invested in government bonds.
All they have to show for the
money is lot valueless certificates
of indebtedness on which they pay
S25O,O0O a year in ''interest.
Anyone but the ringsters who par
ticipated in this loot would say
that the ''interest" annually col
lccted on the certificates represents
only so much money taken from
the current taxes for the support
of the schools. But, dear reader,
you are supposed to be guileless,
and when the Democrats tell you of
the ''splendid'' investment they
have made Of your school money
you are not supposed to think
about the ''interest" coming out of
your own pocket.

The independent says that wher
it sees any general movement on
the part of the people to reform
the political situation in this coun-
ty it will fall in line also and lend
its voice in this direction. Being
fully cognizant of the conditions
as they arc known to exist here,
for the editor of the Independent
is surely cognizantof them from the
practical experience he underwent
in the congressional primary last
spring with the booze Doodle in
fluence that attempted his defeat,
it would be more creditable on his
part it he would join the Journal ir
rousing the people to the extent to
which the evil is practiced bere.
1t is a newspapers duty to take the
lead in such matters. However,
we do not look for any assistance
from our friend up the street along

made the sole medium of Demo
cratic success in this county.

We have heard many represen-
tative citizens Of this county, both
Republicans and Democrats, de-
prccate the vicious influences that
are resorted to in this county to
carry elections. Even one or two
Democratic candidates on the coun-
ty ticket have felt the upbraidings
Of conscience that they must re-
sort to such influences to be sue
cessful, and, win or lose, say that
this will be the last time they will
run for Office under such condi-
tions. Still the Independent pre-
tends to believe that the Republi
can majority of 250 in this county
is overthrown in consequence of
some peculiar virtue or merit of
the Democratic candidates. Booze
and Doodle alone does it, and about
one moro such election as we have
had in the past few years will I'M
doubtedly arouse the people to the
necessity of reform.

The news that the great trusts
will contribute to the Democratic
! campaign fund this year to aid the
party in securing control of Con-
gress shows the duplicity of the
party on the trust question.
President Rooscvelt's determined
stand that the Republican party
must and will take Il hand in curb
ing the monopolistic combines of
the country has aroused the op-
position of Wall Street, and true
to its characteristics to attach it.
self to any proposition which is
antagonistic to the policy of the
Republican party the Democracy
becomes the ally of the trusts, and
accepts their money in good faith
that no legislation adverse to trust
interests will come from that party
should it be successful in gaining
control of Congress at the forth
coming elections. That the Demo
cratic party has never been sincere
in its heretofore professed antagon-
ism to the monopolistic combines is
evinced 10y the party's conduct in
our own state. Every Democrat
ic platform formulated here in
Missouri in recent years makes a
demand for trust regulation, and
there the party halts. Why! Be-
cause, as has been shown by evil
dence adduced in the courts, the
corporations have been regula +
contributors to Democratic CAM
paign funds, and that the men who
handle. and distribute this money
are the chief officers of the state
government. The peculiar trait
of the Democracy is to propose
the interests and welfare of the
people and then dispose itself al
the service of the corporation.

Some British soldiers were recently
attacked with fever in the Transvaal
and were removed to n hospital. Aft
er "a few days they began to recover,
and, finding time hanging heavy on
their hands, they resolved to gamble
and formed what they called the

New patients were arriving daily,
and the physicians took the tempera-
ture of all the invalitls every morn
ing. When this was done the tenn
perature was written on q piece OF
cardboard, which was fastened at the
head of each bed. 1t was agreed th;t
each soldier should put a shilling into
the pool every day and that the en-
tire amount should go to the patient
who had the highest temperature on
that day.

position of the Republican party
ON the question of protective tariff
duties. There can .e no general
sentiment in favor of tariff revision
among Republicans as long as the
policy of protection is vindicated
by the era of prosperity the coun-
try is enjoying at present. Pro.
lection to home industries is fun
damental principle of the Republi-
can party, and it was through the
application of that principle that
the wonderful industrial develop
ment of this country has been ac-
complished. To abandon this pol
icy would not only be suicidal to
the party but also to our industrial
activity. The argument that pro-
lection favors the trusts is as falla-
cious as the Is to ] idea. The
trusts made their first great rise
about the time the Democrats, dur
ing Cleveland s second administra-
ton, put revised tariff in force.
The trusts were not hurt or even
hindered by the revision, but its
effect upon American industries
was Il stupendots calamity to the
l.eople, from which they only re-
covered after the enactment of the
present tariff law. Mr.. Hender-
son has undoubtedly oycr-estimat-
ell the extent of the tariff revision
sentiment among the Republicans
in his district.

We have heard a great deal
from the ringsters as to the equa-
bic assessment of property in Mis-
souri, for taxation, but under an
investigation made by the Post
Dispatch it is disclosed that the
state board of equalization, which
is composed of Governor Dock
cry, State Auditor Allen, State
Treasurer Williams, Secretary of
State Cook and Attorney General
Grow, all Democrats, have favor
cd the large corporations holding
special franchise privileges to the
extent that they are assessed only
one third of the actual cash value
of their property, while the pro-
perty of private individuals is as
sessed at seventy per cent. ''The
benefciaries of this discrimination,
SAYS the Post-Dispatch. ''are the
owners of special privileges. They
are some of them liberal contribu-
tors to campaign funds, according
to testimony in court. The same
testimony says that state officers
on the Board of equalization now
and heretofore we're collectors or
distributors of these funds" The
Post gets right at the root of the
trouble. The franchise owning
corporations are protected against
a lust assessment of their property
by the state board of equalization
in return for contributions to the

one of 300 feet is considered quite u

as they can stroll in and out at their

thinks he is good enough to be man

Most people would consider an out
crop 80 feet thick as good as q gold
