An admirer OF Cecil Rhodes says that the
British empire builder dreamed of a develop
ment of South Africa which would put 1t so far
in the forefront of progress that even the
United States would be left tagging In the rear.
Is there sufficient evidence anywhere that Mr..
Rhodes in his widest imaginings ever con-
ceived so fantastic a vision? All Yankeeland
would chuckle over the grotesque absurdity of
so preposterous an idea.

betrayed the trust say they de-

ministrations in Missouri, he says,
it has taken $40, 756, 900 to reduce
a debt of S2l, ,9l3,OoO to S., ,1s4,-

statement, and there is not the

a mistake against'his party. Thus

for every SIG of debt reduction.

Increasing Taxation.

The schools are receiving more
aid from the state than ever before
The next distribution of school
funds will exceed that Of this year
by more than 100000. This
years apportionment, it will he
remembered, was 500, 900 greater
than that Of last year.--St. Louis
Republic.
The figures indicate the rapid in
crease in the assessment Of Mis-
souri, property values. If this in
crease in the value of taxable pro-
perties were equitably distributed
there would be no lcason for COM
plaint. As Hon. Richard Dalton
has recently made clear, however,
the Increase falls almost entirely
upon landed property, and such
forms of personal property as are
found upon the land. Mr.. Dalton
has proved, by citing the official
facts and figures, tnat the increase
in landed values is out of all pro-
portion with the increase in the
values of railroad property and
other corporate wealth. The
Bourbons have attempted no an
swer to MIR. Daltons figures, and
have offered no defense against the
indictment they carry, for the ex-
cellent reason that none is possible.
Dignificd silence and 'dignified
SUMS are their only response to
conditions incapable Of either ex-
planation of defense.
The opposition of the Bourbon
government to increasing corpora
ton taxes for the benefit of the
schools was afforded in the recent
decision Of the supreme court deny
ing the writ of mandamus asked
by Judge Rombauer, the attorney
of the st. Louis school board, to
compel the state board of equaliza-
ton to assess franchises at their
cash value. What the Republic is
attempting now is the old Bourbon
trick of attempting to make the
people believe that money gets in
to the school treasury through
some mysterious process, while,
az il now generally known, the
only connection of the state with
school moneys III the treasury, is
an occasional taking out of funds,
put into the school treasury by
taxation, and issuing certificates
of Indebtedness in their stead.
Under the law, onc-third of the
total revenue raised by taxation
goes into the school treasury. The
fact that there was 500, 200 more
raised in taxes for the schools last
year than the year before indi
Gates that there were 5000, 900
more raised for other purposes.
Will the Republic tell us what has
been done with that.-State Re

Their Only Abiding Issue.

The St. Louis Mirror, an indie
pendent Democratic weekly journ-
al, says that the silver question is
settled, the expansion question: is
settled, and that the only issue
left the Democratic party which
furnishes it enough ground to
stand on is tariff reform. The
two former questions, says the
Mirror, never had any real allure
ment for the Democracy, they are
Populistic, and must be relegated
back to the Populists. The latter
are termed protectionists-even
Bryan is called such-and can,
therefore, find nothing in tariff
reform issue which would invite
them to cast their lot with the
Democrats. In fact, the Mirror
seems to be Of the opinion that
there is as little affinity between
the simon-pure Democrat ant the
Populist as there is between oil
and wuter.
The sole and abiding issue of
the Democrats is, as it has ever
been, the question of free trade,
and tho party is invited to get to-
gethor on the old battle ground
for a final stand. The proposition
is, of course, in complete harmony
with the Mirrors political convic-
tions, but it is not SO satisfying to
Democrats whose appetite for of
fee is stronger than principle.
Principles gave way to the hunger
for power when the Democrats
formed their alliance with the Bry-
antics, and, so far as we can see,
there is little evidence that princi-
pie is likely to regain its ascen-
dency with the party. While the
tariff question may still have its
attraction for that element of the
present-day Democracy which the
Mirror so ably represents, does il
attract the confidence of the people
rs Il mass, the balancing weight in
deciding national electionss The
people usually form a correct
opinion of an economic principle
in the school of experience, ant
when the lesson is ground into
them with all the bitterness OF
hardship and priration experienced

cratic party to reform the tariff

Gov. Dockery's Own Figures.

In his statement in regard to
Missouri's debt issued last week
Gov. Dockery gave some figures
that in themselves prove gross fl
nancial mismanagement in this
state. The passage referred to is
as follows:
The total bonded liability, there
fore, at the beginning of the per-
iod of Democratic control (Janu-
ary l, 1879 was $21, 1928, 40.
During the period of Democratic
ascendency, $40, 756, ,997,94 have
been expended, exclusive of re
funding bonds, in the reduction of
the bonded debt and the payment
of interest.
The debt remaining unpaid is
S7S7,000 in state bonds and ST.
397, $3.50. 40 in certificates of indebt-
edness, total of o,1S4,S39.42.
Here are the governors own fig
ures of debt reduction in thirty
years. The sum Of S4O,756 900
has been used to reduce a debt of
$21,913,OoO to S., $4,000. How
do taxpayers like that as finan-
cial operation! In making this
reduction a payment of 50, $50, 900
from the Hannibal and St. Joseph
railroad has been applied, as has
also s., 497, 900 of cash assets for
merly belonging to the school fund
