From the great prominence Civ
en- to a portion Of one Of our cdi-
torials in the journal of last week,
we infer that its editor is begin
ming to know good literature when
he sees it. We hope he will con
time to improve his mind. The
Independent will do its best to sup
ply him with the material.-lude-
penthnt.
II the Independent will furnish
us with more of this ''good' litera
tuye we will certainly give it space
in our columns. Tell us some
thing more about how the Repub
lican voters are corrupted by the
''money and whiskey furnished by
the other side"

ons.raied that there are discrepan-
cies in them of over Sl1, 900, 900.
While the exhibit prctends that
only Il loss Of seven cents has oc-
CARED, it is accompanied by the
remarkable statement that the bal
ance is Il forced one and many of
the items of expenditure cannot be
verified by data on file in the audi
tors Office. How do we know that
these discrepancies resulted from
the transfer Of the moneys from
the sinking and school funds to the
revenue account to keep the state
from defaulting on its general ex-
pcnse bills? We must take the
word of Ex-Governor Stephens
as our authority for this claim.
Stephens stated that when he was
state treasurer he found it neces-
sary to transfer funds from one
account to another to meet the de ri
mands made upon him and that
the same thing had been done by
his predecessors in the treasurer's
Office. Stephens successor as
treasurer has said that the various
shifts he was compelled to resort
to find funds to meet the expense
warrants drawn upon him made
''his hair turn grey Up to the
present time no one has appeared
to say that the money transferred
from the school and sinking funds
had ever been transferred back
again. Perhaps the editor of the
Democrat can show US that this
has been done. He might also
give us his own review of the
Dockery-A lien exhibit and show its
correctness to the confounding of
Republican accountants who have
had the temerity to find discrepan
cies amounting to S1l, 900, 900 i'll
the Democratic figures.

al machine. What debasing de-
scent from Samuel Adams to Sam
uel Cook, from James Monroe to
James Monroe Seibert, from
Thomas Jefferson to the jefferson
Club. Could Jefferson realize to
what base use his name is applied
he could not rest pcaccably III his
grave. Fancy the author of the
Declaration oflnlcpcndencelen lending
his unsulicd name to an orSaniZa-
ton whose mission is to pack vot-
ers' lists with fraudulcntly regis
ed names to stuff ballot boxes with
illegal votes, and hire thugs to
vote at every polling booth and in
timidate legitimate voters and to
maintain Il police force to club
chal!engers from the polling places.
This is what the Jefferson club has
done in the past and what it pro-
poses to do at the next election.
Shall it be permitted to do so!
What shall the outcome be?-Pub

The editor of the Independen

The editor of the Independent
went up against the peculiar poll
tics of the local Democracy at the
party's congressional primary in
this precinct recently, with the re-
suit that he suffered just as much
from them as the Republicans do
at general elections. Had the
booze and boCdle element exerted
itself a little more iii the other pro-
cincts MIR. Bell would have been
defeated for Congressional Com
mitteeman from this county. and,
in all probability, would also have
lost his 1920 job. AS he now has
the position secured to him for the
next two years, we again invite
him to join us,upon his own sug-
gestion, to make Il political fight
in this county for a few years strict
ly upon the party principles in
volved. With $1,000 a year assur-
ed him he can be independent OF
the booze and Doodle element of
his party. Come, Mr.. Indcpen-
dent, don't be craven. Soak it in
to the gang which tried to knock
you in the primary.

The Hillsboro Democrat pre-.
sumptiously states that the editor
of the Journal does not, as a mat
ter of course, believe that there is
any truth in our contention that
the ringster gang at Jefferson City
has looted the state funds of S11,-
600, 200. We have repeatedly
shown the Democrat that our
claim is not based upon any Re
publican fabrication, but entirely
upon Democratic admissions. We
have confidence enough in the
Democratic party to believe that
when it admits its wrong doinos
that wrong has been done by
them. The Democrats have asked
the people to accept as truthful
the Dockery-Allen exhibit of the
financial management of the states
affairs by the party in power.
Taking the figures presented in
this exhibit us veracious, five OF
| six different accountants have dem

The Case Proven.

Without the question of doubt
the GlohcDemocrat's experts, up
on the evidence of the governors
own experts, have concIusively
proven that the commonwealth has
been wronged in the amount of, if
not robbed of, over S11 90, 900, to
say nothing of the dissipation of
the whole of the school fund, since
the affairs of the state were turn
ed over to the Democratic party.
In this )nncction The governors
experts ought to be congratulated,
for, in the face of the fact that the
books of the state were withheld
from the Star. which had accepted
the governors invitation to exam
inc them, the story of the shortage
could not have been told save for
their report.
The governor would have placed
himself in better light before the
people by simply submitting the
report of his experts without COM
ment, for it now transpires that
no possible interpretations or expla-
nations can cover up the fact that
the state has been wronged to the
extent of over Sl1 100000.
The figures show that the last
dollar of the debt, had the funds
been honestly handled, would have
been paid in 1898, leaving sur
plus of S7S3, $40, and all this with
out even touching the school fund.
1t is useless to say whether this
great outrage was inflicted upon
the state through the iDcCmpetency
of Democratic officers or their dis
honesty-the fact remains that the
money is gone without any hope
of its recovery.
The thing now for the people te
do is to take the affairs of the state
out of the hands of the Democrat
ic party and start in afresh.
| 1t does not seem possible tha
there will be any hesitation in tn
matter.
| We shall see, however, what W.
shall see, and if the state goes Dem
ocratic next fall, then, indeed, i
would seem that majority of tn
people are joined to their idols

The young Republicans of this
county should honor their citizen
ship by adhering strictly to the
principles of their political faith.
The young voter who does this is
held in higher esteem even by the
opposing party if he lets it be
known that he cannot be seduccd
from his patty allegiance by elu-
siyo promises of future reward in
return for bctraying his own par
tvs candidates. Let your political
conduct partake of the same stead
fast integrity which should guide
the conduct of your whole life.

Any failure of the Cubans to
gain tariff concessions from this
country during the present session
of congress may safely be ascrib
ed to the Democrats. We believe
the Republicans were at first dis
posed to follow the recommends
ton of President Roosevelt and
grant Cuba Il measure of relief on
sugar duties, but the Democrats
seized the occasion to make fight
upon the protective tariff general
Iy, and the consequence is that
Cuba will be the sufferer frcm
Democratic political schemes.
The latter cannot refrain from
making an assault UPON protection
whenever they think they see an
opportunity to do SO any more
than Il hog can keep from putting
all four feet in the trough Just
because he is permitted to come
up to it.

James EadS. Virgil Jennings and

rel over a crap game in a room over
Jennings saloon in Esther last Friday
night. Pistols were brought into ac-
tion, and Jennings shot Eads through
the left side Of the face, the ball COM
ing out back Of the ear. EadS then
shot Jennings in the neck, and Hardy
through the body, just missing the
lungs. Eads walked to Flat River
and gave himself up to the constable.

injured to get away. 1t is thought
likely that all OF them will recover

The Descent of Democracy.

How the mighty have fallen
Democracy once stood for all that
is high, honorable and ennobling
in the political aims of the repub-
lie. To-day, in Missouri, it stands
for all that is low, dishonorable
and degrading. In the beginning
of the nineteenth century, in the
original nucleus of states. Democ-
racy meant government Of the peo-
pie by themselves. In the begin
ming of the twentieth century, in Il
great central state of the Louisiana
Purchase, Democracy means gov
ernmeut of the people by a polite.

Missouri is the fifth state in the
union in point of population, but
she ranks with some of the most
backward of the Southern states
when it comes to u free ballot and
a fair count. A little enlightened
government would soon raise the
general reputation of the state to
the prominence she is entitled to by
virtue of her population.
