An Illegal System.

Every voter in the state of Mis-
souri, ought to carefully investigate
the facts concerning the constitu-
tional amend ,lent to be voted upon
this fall i'll reference to legalizing
the school fund certificates. In
the FIRST place, they have been and
arc being illegally issued. Why
lcgalize them. Is it possible for
the people to legalize an illegal
act! What course of reasoning is
possible to make it appear that the
purpose sought by the enactment
of the amendments will not prove
a great wrong-an illegal act of
the whole people!
1t seems to us the proper thing
to do will be to defeat the amend
ments, and hold Il state constitu-
tional convention, and let the new
constitution provide for each coun
| ty to arrange its own method of
raising and caring for its school
funds. BY this method, the inter.
est in public schools will be meas
ured by the intelligence of the peo.
pie and the skill and integrity with
which they care for their schoo
funds,
! Atchison county has a school
fund of over $15O,O00, which il
carefully cared for by the county
court, which is loaned to our peo
pie who need it, at a low rate o.
interest, and it is increasing con
tinually. 1t is a school fund il
the true sense Of the term, and il
a good investment. The peopl,
are not taxed to pay interest on it
as they are now taxed to pay inter
est on the state school certificates
which the Democratic ring at JET
ferson City insists on calling

of it. Investigate, and you vii

The Republic deyotes great
deal of energy, space and vocabu-
larry in a fatuous effort to convince
the people that it is the Republi-
can minority in Missouri which is
responsible for the lobby at Jeffer-
son City. By Il process of reason
ing peculiar to itself the Republic
has discovered that the dominating
party has had no pant in building
up the powerful corporate influ-
enco at the state capital. Even a
most ordinary mind must find this
contention as being worthy only
of induigent compassion for Il par.
ty which seeks SO weak subter'
fuge to escape the consequences OF
its own misconduct. For ove1
thirty years the Democratic party
in this state has held the law max
ing powerip its own hands, an,

every law favorable to the corpor-
ations enacted within that time has
been passed by Democratic legis-
lature and signed by Democratic
governor. The latter had the
power 10 veto any lobby measure
the wicked minority may have
forced the helpless majority to en-
act. What were our Democratic
governors doing all the time not to
have protected the people better
from lobby legislation by the veto
power! If the Republic is correct
in its contention, then the different
Democratic governors Missouri
has had in the past third of a Gen.
tury must have been in cahoot
with the minority party in foster
ing the interests of the lobby.

The Independent is the party
organ of the county Democracy
and therefore the mouthpiece of
the party. In the above quotation
Republican voters who gave their
aid to place Democrats in the coun-
ty offices may see how they are re-
garded for the betrayal Of their
own candidates by those who were
benefited by this betrayal. What
is their reward. They are called
50 hopelessly rotten that they have
not virtue enough to prevent them
from being seduced from their
party allegiance by the money and
whiskey furnished by the other
si.le. How do you, Republican
scratchcr, like this portrait Of
yourself as drawn by your Demo
cratic friends Still the scratchers
arc the least to blame. The OPP
probrium that adheres, or in all
morality should adhere, from their
corruption sticketh to the garments
of those who made them corrupt.
The Independent is frank; it does
not mince it's words in the least
when it says that Republicans are
won from their allegiance ''by the
money and whisksy FURNISHED By
THE oTHEk siDE." We have also
been told by that paper that the
same thing could be expected again
con OCCASION" The occasion il
here. Already, perhaps, ''hope-
Iessly rotten Republicans" are be-
ing approached by the virtuous
''other side" with proffers Of booze
and Doodle. And our worthy
friend up the street is one of th'
''other side" The jewel of hi
consistency wonld possess greater
luster if he would apply his cpl
thets to that side.

A misnpplication of eleven mill
lion dollars of the state sinking
and school funds by the Democrat
ic party is an item big enough for
the consideration of every voter in
Missouri. We do not contend
that this money has been stolen by
the party in power, but that it
was illegally diverted from the
sinking and school funds to the
general revenue account and rep
resents the difference between the
general expenditures and the re-
ccipts in the general revenue &C.
count, This immense sum of mon.
ey, if it had been applied as the or.
ganic law of the state directs, would
have wiped out the state debt en-
tirely and left the school fund in
tact in actual cash securities, and
the people would have been reliev'
ed from paying taxes into the
sinking fund and interest account
What was done with the money
1t was evidently used to keep thu
state from defaulting in the pay
mcnt of its general expense bills
Large sums of it have gone fo1
the payment Of salaries to th'
state boards and armies Of useles!
legislative clerks. While pro
claiming their economy in con
Quoting the affairs of the state th'
Democrats have been notoriousl,
proAigate with the peoples none,
and they now stand convicted b.
their own figures of lespoiling tn

Local Paper.

The average man has not a high
opinion of the local newspaper.
He has less opinion of the man
who edits it. He thinks the mer-
chant counts for twice as much, a
lawyer probably four times and as
between the editor and the banker,
the comparison would be odious.
Still. how would the town get
along without a newspaper! What
would be thought of it? Could it
not almost as easily spare mer-
chant, Il lawyer, or oven, in some
stances Il bankers
Assuredly the local newspaper
is valuable as Il news medium. But
this is not all of it's value. 1t is
worth something in the way OF
helping the town; in booming pub
lie interest. But it possesses also
distinct value to every individual.
What would real estate be worth
in Il town that has no newspapers.
Is it ever considered how mncl
the business und prosperity of in
dividuals are benefited by articles
in the local newspapers. We know
Of Il case not a thousand miles
from Jefferson City where mar
made $4,000 by an article in Tho
local newspaper. But the editor
never received a cent for it; wa'
not even thanked or commended
and only heard of it incidentally.
| Then let it not be forgotten that
every newspaper is worth dollars
to every citizen. Why then shoul(
it not receive a greater reward TO
its work and he elevated to a leve
with other great institutions in th

A Sons Tribute to his Mother.

Gen. ]. J. Russell of Charleston in
an address to the Graduating Glass Of
the Charleston public school pays the
following noble tribute to the memory
of his mother:
"My good old mother never spent an
idle day in her life. No one ever
went hungry about her home because
the cook was gone; it was never neces
sary to call in a fashionable dressmak-
er to tit dress upon her. She never
had carpet on her floor that she did
not make herself, and well do l remem-
ber how she took the native wool as it
came from the sheep, washed it, cord
ed it into rolls, spun it into yarn, col
ored it, wove it into cloth, cut and
made it into clothes for me and my
brothers to wear, all with her own
hands. She was worth more to the
world than ten thousand society wom-
en- who think they are too good and
their fingers too soft to have them
soiled or hardened by tire touch of
! household work. The deepest regret
of my life has been that she to whom
| owe 50 much has not lived until now
that l might have shown to her the
gratitude of my soul for her tender
and watchful care over me in my
childhood days. and her many hours
of honest toll in my behalf in the days
of my boyhood."
