The Burning of the Southeast
Normal

The Southeast Missouri Normal
Schoo. building at Cape Girar.leau
was.destroycd by fire on April Sth.
The fire seems to have started in
the center of the building. The
flames were first discovered at :45
p. M, and the fire spread so rap
idly that the fire department was
helpless in the situation and the
building had to be left to its des-
truction.
The main part of the building
was erected in 1874 at a cost of
S45, 900. Later two large wings
were added at cost of perhaps
$4,000. The library, physical
and chemical labratory and other
equipments of the school will run
the total loss up to at least 1926
900, on which there was only
S34 900 insurance.
The Board of Regents of the
school met the morning following
the fire and made arrangements to
continue the school to the end of
term, securing the use of the court
house as Il temporary school build
inc. Other buildings nearby will
be used as recitation rooms.

One day last week Governor
;Dockery made an examination of
the accounts OF the state treasurer,
and, from his report thereon, it
seems that the books were all
straight and a good balance on
hand in the various funds of the
state. As usual the Governor goes
into a condition of ebnlit;on in his
Joy that he can still find evidences
of honesty in official conduct at
Jefferson City. From the Gov
ernor's effusiveness over the situa-
tion one would naturally conclude
that he must have approached the
examination with some apprehen-
sion AS to the outcome, and, on be-
ing relieved on this point, he
rushes forth to tell the people that
their money is all safe-yet. As
a matter Of course the people take
it for granted that their servants
at the state capital are honest I'M
til they are proven otherwise and
must feel that there is no occasion
for the Governor to prance out
with such frequency to congratu-
late them upon the fact that the
state fiscal officers have not stolen
any Of the funds. The Republi-
cans have never contended that
there was actual embezzlement 90.
ing on under the ring rule which
has dominated the state so long,
but that there have been irregular

stitutional power the Democrats
have used the school and sinking
funds for other than their intended
purpose. That this is true-o1
the school fund at least-is con
fessed in the pending amendment
to the constitution, which asks the
people to legalize their breech OF
trust.

The city of St. Joseph (Mo.)
elected a Republican mayor on the
Sth inst. by majority of only
eight votes. His Democratic op-
ponent, it was reported, was at
first inclined to contest the election,
but after recalling the fact that a
Democratic supreme court had
nailed up the ballot boxes, he con-
cluded he saw no room for a con-
test. This Democrat is evidently
too easily deferred from his OBJ
ject. He should have considered
that the Missouri supreme court
has a reversing lever for the ex-
elusive benefit of it's party friends.
The defeated candidate for mayor
need only to have taken his contest
case before the supreme court to
won it.

At a recent Democratic conven-
tion down in Wayne County Gov
ernor Dockery was endorsed for
'*his able and efficient manner of
handling the state finances and
school fund" This is the first in
limitation we have had that our
Governor is something of wiz

County Democratic friends, he has
brought back into existence, for a
flccting moment, presumably, a
non existent school fund and
'handled'' it. 1t must have been

representatives at the coronation
of King Edward, and here comes
the charge that Missouri is har-
boring British camp. Not long
ago The Missouri legislature passed
a resolution of sympathy with
AouinG!do, and now some people
insist that this Democratic state. is
surprising any other part of the
world in strengthing the British
army in South Africa to hunt down
the Beers. Seldom have the Mis-
souri, Democrats been so puzzled
concerning what to say or do.
Even Webster Davis failed to
hurl a rhetorical thunderbolt at
the mule camp at Lathrop. Pei
haps he has just heard of Lathrop.
This great mule issue is easy
enough to people of common sense.
If mules forwarded to Africa are
contraband the traffic should :be
be stopped. But there is nothing
known so far to support that view
of the case. A mule is not merely
a war implement. He is handy on
a farm and in ordinary hauling.
A mule sent to Africa may be es
pecially useful in restoring Il de
vastated farm. In any case, the
question is one of ordinary inter
national law. Missourians owning
mules want the privilege of sell
ing them, legally, for the prices
obtainable. Fustian and CANNON
on the subject are useless. But if
the if the mule camp had been 10
Gated in Illinois, Iowa or Kansas,
the Democratic papers in Missouri
would have charged the President
and the governor of that state
with participating in Il British
conspiracy. In that case an asses
camp also might have been neces-
sary at Lathrop for the benefit of
mossbacIz editors who are prone to
abuse the national government on
the strength Of mean suspicion.-

our county officials all the same
political complexion. The reason
that the Democrats have lately
been so successful in carrying off
the best county offices is that all
Democrats take an interest in their
local ticket and help to elect as
many Of their men as possible in
the face of an almost overwhelming
majority against their party. Their
party ticket, no matter how poor
the material which composes it, is
always good enough for them to
take straight. Let the Repnb
Iicans get their politics down to
the same basis and an election here
will mean something more than a
booze and Doodle fight.
