From the State Tribune.
The Democrats at the state capital
are much elated over the action Of
the House Of Representatives Friday.
Gov. Dockery commenting upon the
result said:
"The campaign of1902 was fitting
ly opened in the rational House OF
Representatives Friday by Il knock
out for the great sugar trust and a
crushing disappointment for the ma
tional republican administration.
Both results show the power of a
united and aggressive Democracy.
1t is the opening gun OF the ensuing
contest, in which one of the most
lusty infant industries born of the
high tariff system, met a telling de-
feat.
"This action of the Democrats OF
the House is but expressive of a uni
versal desire among Democrats to
henceforth turn their guns upon the
enemy rather than upon each other.
"The victory of Friday was the re-
suit of Democratic reconnaissance in
force. 1t will be followed in Novem.

troll and fix the prices of LIES inexor-

road company to compel Secretary
of State Cook to accept its articles of
incorporation and grant it a permit
to build n line in this state upon the
payment OF a nominal fee, was sub.
mitted without argument in the SUI
preme court to-day. To the compa-
ny's petition the attorney general
filed II demurrer, in which he alleged
that the company had no cause OF
action, and insisted that it must pay
incorporation fees on $3.50, 900, the
amount of capital employed on it's
line in this state. The contention of
the railroad company was that it
should pay fees only ON 100000.
that sum representing the expendi-
ture of constructing the line from st.
Louis to Mon.
The demurrer further alleged that
the Kansas charter issued to this
company permitted it to operate and
construct telegraph lines, but con-
tanned nothing as to railroad lines,
and that under such charter it had
no right to ask for a charter in Mis-.

This resolution was adopted hy the
Republicans of Stone county at their
convention held in March.

had control in this state. In the last

The same records show that Stone
county received from the state treas
ury last year for the support Of her
sch ools alone 81 SS1 rs.
IN other words, Missouri gave
Stone county more money for the
support Of her d strict schools last
year than the county paid to the
state for all purposes. Ii we should
add to this school money, which the
state supplies Stone county the
amounts paid that county for costs
in criminal cases, sal Try for her cir

revenue, it will be readily seen that
Missouri would be much better off f.

But this is not all of the record.
In view of this declaration of the
Stone county Republicans, it is prop-
er to compare the treatment that
county is now receiving under Demo-
cratic state management with condi-
tions which existed when the Repub-

PHELPS KNOWS BETTER.

The Stone county Republicans,
however, are not alone in declaring
that the states obligations are
WORTHLESS" and that the schoolfund
has been looted" and "plundered. "
The Phelps county Republicans in
a recent convention took occasion to
denounce the present Demo cratic
administration" for "looting" this
fund.
There may be some degree ofallow-
ance made for the Republicans of
Stone county because of the fact that
they evidently know but little of
their state government. Few OF
them are really aware that during
6years their own party was in power
in Mo-, their county received on an
average less than $500 annually for
school purposes, or that during a
corresponding period of Democratic
control their county received annual.
" more than $4,000.

Men have denied sincerity in some be-

OF sincerity is not so much in what q
