Our Queer Supreme Court.

The institution in the state of
Missouri that is most in need of
reformation is the state supreme
court. 1t is a part of the political
machine that controls tho state
and its decision are almost invaria-
bly, in consonance with the views of
the most "practical'' politicians.
The supremecourt of Missouri has
done moro to keep the state Demo-
cratic than any other organization,
chiefly by the political sabservien-
cy of its rulings and opinions. 1t
has sustained every job and trick
designed for the advantage of the
democratic gang and has rarely, if
ever found merit in any republican
contention over any law. In par
ticular it has approved every law
to discomft the republican at the
ballot box. Furthermore, it is
almost to be said that no great
corporation ever loses any impor-
tant CAGE before the supreme court
of Missouri. This court is one in
which politicians are paid to ap-
pear as lawyers with practically
no knowledge of the cases, but pre-
sumably, merely to intimate that
a party interest is involved. 1t is
a court the members of which leg
for denomination in the Offices of
corporations and political fixers
with scarcely any more dignity
than an alderman displays in the
canvass of the ''joints" in his
ward. It's a court in which all
the members of the bar hint that
a pull is more valuable than a sound
brief. Justices of this court are
to be elected next November. The
people of the state who believe in
a court above suspicion or innuen-
do should look carfuly into the
character of the men nominated
for the bench. We have had
enough of a supreme court in
which, as alleged, more Of the
practice is political than legal.
This is the secret opinion of seven
out of every ten reputable lawyers
in this state.-St. Louis Mirror

According to Judge Rombauer-
of St. Louis, the people must act
IN order to secure taxation of fran-
chises in Missouri. AS events
transpire it becomes more and
more evident that we cannot
look for franchise taxation from
the Democratic party, IN spite of
that party's platform promises.
We quote the following from the
Democratic state platform to dem
onstrate how futile that party's
promises are:
1.-THE continuance of Democrat
ic State government means the f.
nal and full payment of the state
debt in the first two years of the
next administration, making it
possible Mt the end of that time to
raise all state taxes from corpora
tions, leaving the personal and
real property in the counties and
cities to be taxed only for local
purposes"
In fulfillment of this promise the
Legislature of last winter should
have acted on franchise taxation,
but we see from the evidence ad.
duced in the Cardwen trial that
the franchise holders were paying
the leaders of the Democratic party
for protection against the legisla-
tion the party promised in its plat
form. Neither is the promise of
complete extiDguishment Of the
state debt to be made good within
the time limit as set down in the
platform declaration. It is barely
possible that the outs. ntiing state
bonds will be reduced by that time
leaving 81, 400, 600 the state owes
the school fund still unpaid. In
an attempt to make this part of
their promise good the party has
submitted an amendment to the
constitution repudiating the pay
mont of the school fund debt, and
asks to haye it made the basis upon
which a permanent STATE tax OF
three cents on the hundred dollars
may be levied. Thus the promise
to abolish state taxation by lcvyine
a franchise tax on corporations re-
solves itself into q proposition to
levy /" perpetual state tax. 1t is
true, the people must act; and they
must act in a way which will put in
retirement the party which has
come before them year after year
with lies on its tongue and empty
promises in its hands.

Another Taxpayers View.

We read with some interest
an article in last weeks Indepen-
dent signed, "Taxpaycr,"i in which
the writer criticises the expendi-
ture of public money in the quar-
antine and management of the
$50 called" cases of smallpox oc-
curing in this county for the past
twelve months. The gist of his
argument is that the expenditure
Of public funds i: the cases was
not altogether obligatory upon the
court, especially since some doubt
existed as to the exact nature of
the disease now epidemic in this as
we'll as in other counties.
While we endorse the sentiments
expressed by ''Taxpayer" so far as
that we do not believe in the justice
of having the entire expense of
managing such cases of dangerous
contagious diseases as come under
the direct supervision of the coun-
ty board of health fall upon the
public, we feel that his criticism
Of the county court in allowing the
expresses is equally unjust. He
mssst not be altogether conversant
with the conditions which control
the board of health in this matter.
The rules as laid down by the state
board of health, presumably based
upon the statutes, allow the local
boards no discretion as to their
course after report has been
n'ado by reputable physician of
the existence of contagious dis
eases in the community. These
rules are mandatory, and, after
the actual existence of such
diseases has been substantiated by
the boards medical representative,
no other course is open to them
but to take action, whatever cx-
pense may entail. As we view
the matter, the fault, if so it can
be called, does not bear upon the
local board of health nor upon the
county court, but rather upon the
laws laid down for their guidance.
These laws are too plain to be mis-
construed, and they are seized up
on by the people themselves for
their own advantage.
In nearly every instance lately
where case of smallpox has oc--
CURED in this county the relatives
of the patient could we'll afford to
havo BONE the expense of the ne
ccssary medical treatment and care,
but knowing that the law opened
the way for them they shutfled the
charge upon the county. Still they
are within their legal rights, and the
consciousness of moral obligation
does not enter into the question.
As to the question who is te
Judge of the exact nature of the
disease. whether it shall be called
smallpox or something else, We
defer to the medical advisor of the
county board of health, who, by
his training, is supposed to be ca
pable of correctly diagnosing dis.
eases coming under his observa-
ton.
! In conclusion we wish to sa,
that our position is not taken in de
fense of the bnrdensome expendi
ture the present epidemic has en-
tailed upon the county, hut simply
to give a little more light upon tn,
subject rs presented by ''Taxpay-
er."

Secrets of the Alfalfa Chewsrs Re
 vealed at Last

For dozen years or more it has been the fad for all inha of the ATi zona highlands to poke fun at the Citi- zens of this valley and derisively call them alfalfa chewers," etc. Just why was never satisfactorily explained, but there has been general impression in the minds of the jealous that it was jay and undignified to be an alfalfa chewer. Just the same the people of this valley went right along gettinS rich and healthy. When they wante-i the capital they got it. When they wanted things down in Tucson they got them. When Prescott talked big about athletics they sent up the Phoenix fire men and skinned 'em. And now that Phoenix is real strong she is going to have storage reservoir and another railroad.
 But that is enough, for it would take d book to tell it all. and the secret is now out. Science has at last demon strated why this region i5 the best place in the world to live and why everybody who is sick strikes a bee line for the Salt River valley. It tells why the people here live longer and more virtuous lives. why their muscles are stronger and their brains better de velopsd, why their composition is 50 per cent nerve and 50 per cent get there. It's all owing to the alfalfa, that hea}th-giving, wealth-giving, life-gis ing plant: that modest and much abused forage that has made Arizona what she is today and that will make outsiders what they ought to be if they will bring themselves within it's in fiuence.
 It remained for the Alfalfa Remedy CC. of 5 State St.. Chicoga, to discover the real merit of the plant, and here is what that company says about it:
 During the reign of Solymon. The Magnificent" Sultan Of the Ottoman Empire. during the seventeenth cen tury, his Seraslios and court Of beau- tiful women was the most noted in the world, and has never since been ri valed
 They were 8 type of absolute pl1s-<- ical perfection of beauty and perfect health. The magnificent health ana physique of the men of his empire was so unprecedented. Twas due to the great consumption of q cake made from the seed of a certain pasture plant, and a tea made from an East Indian shrub. This pasture plant has been traced down the years and found to be identical with the Alfalfa oi our Western States
 But what is Alfalfa Nutrient? Here is what the same great authority says:
 "A reconstructive tonic compounded of Alfalfa and this East India shrub. and not equaled by any remedy in the world. Alfalfa Nutrient makes heal thy flesh and rich blood: rounds out the hollows and makes plump figures. Makes the cheeks glow with the ruddy tints of health.
