miles and miles Of the finest mucad-
amized roads in Missouri and over

sin that the school funds under Re-
publican management in those states
are held ana managed very similar
To the Srhool fund Of Missouri. In
Ohio, Michieanand Illinois the school
moneys were deposited in the State
Treasures and used for various pur
poses, the state paying certain rates
of interest on the moneys thus
deposited for the maintenance of the
schools, The state OF Wisconsin

The State Slanderers.

The esteemed local organ of the
state slanderers says there isnothing
to the argument that the schools
get more money now than they did
under republican rule,
Ii declares the whole thing is ex-
planned 10y the Iact that the state is
three times as populous as when the
rePubliranS held sway Well, even
this does otexplain why the schools
get six times us much money from
the democratic administration as
they got from the republicans. Nor
does it explain the assertion of the
states slanderers that the school
fund has been looted until there is
nuSchool fund.
Ii the school fund has been stolen
how comes il that the schools are
getting six times as much money
from the state as they got when the
republican party was in controR
and il the state is three times as pop
ulus and prosperous as when the re-
puhlicans were in power, what is 10
become of the argument of the states
slandernrs to the effect that Missouri
would be good state if the official
salaries were drawn by republicans?

Will Get His Position Back.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. l5.-Gov-
ernor Dockery to-day committed the
sentence of Henry Alters, OF Spring
field, and Albert Schmidt, of Nevada
both doing terms in the Missouri
penitentiary for forgery, Both men
were released. Schmidt had twenty.
two months to serve and Albers six
more months.
Albers was an advertising solicitor
for the Springfield Record, when he
committed the crime for which he
was. sentenced. He was victim OF
morphine and while under the inhu.
ence of the drug forged a check for
S25 on a friend, for which he was
sentenced to two years in the peni-
tertiary.
He could have gotten almost any
amount of money for the asking from
his friends in Springfield.
Since he has been in the peniten-
tiary he has been cured of the drug
habit and will go back to Springfield
to accept u position Immediately
with the Record under c. S. Baird,
who was instrumental in. securing
the Communication for Albers.
