A GOOD EXAMPLE.

Much praise-and deservedly much
has been bestowed upon Robert
.Shriver, of Cumberland, for his long,
tireless, at last successful efforts to Sc
cure the righting of great wrong in
the distribution of the State school
fund.
Mr.. Shriver is doubtless partisan.
like everybody else in more or less de-
gree, but it is refreshing to see that he
is one of "a precious few busy men
who can stop long enough and spend a
little of his own money to achieve a
public good.
Many other gentlemen ostensibly
seek the same end along the devious
paths of party interest and prestige,
but too seldom can their liberality be
commended as the highest type of dis
interested philanthropy.

Says Governor Dockery.

Governor Dockery, commenting up
on the distribution made by Auditor
Allen, said:
This is the largest payment ever
made by the State in a single year for
the maintenance OF the public school
system. The income of the State
which goes to educate our children is
constantly growing. The distribution
during the past two years exceeds by
1926, ass. % the distribution made dur

PHELPS TO TESTIFY.
Mr.. Folk Expects TO Have Him Before

The efforts made by opponents

nation for governor to discredit him
by initiating that due diligence had
not been used to secure the attendance
of Colonel w. II. Phelps before the
grand jury, to tell what he knows
about Doodle, are not taken seriously
by the prosecutor. When asked this
afternoon with reference TO the mat
ter, he replied:
There are always people who will
fully misunderstood things. The sit
uation is plain. For weeks Colonel
Phelps daughter lay at the point OF
death at Asheville. / am q prosecu-
tor, not a prosecutor. 1t is my duty
TO try to bring criminals TO justice,
but not to drag a parent from the bed

is to be buried. There lis no reason
why Colonel Phelps should longer be

Mexico weekly ledger., 1903-08-06

No ONE can read, and hear those
present tell OF his speech and the re-
ception accorded Joseph W. Folk by
the people at New Florence last Satur-
day, and think of it as an ordinary
occasion. The people Of Missouri are
alive to the subject of good govern
ment. His expressions OF patriotism
and civic righteousness met with a
hearty response from that large gath
ering. No man in the State is better
able than this public prosecutor to
depict the hideousness of bOodling in
municipalities and State government.
1t is Folk that discovered the boodling
in st. Louis, had the courage to ex-
pose it and prosecute alike the bribe-
giver and taker, without fear or favor.
None other than he has discovered
and set in motion the line Of inquiry
by which the next highest official OF
the State has been compelled to con-
fess the gigantic schemes Of the lobby
at the State Capital, giving forth a
story OF official corruption to a depth
unsupported. When this work was
begun it was said the crime Of brib-
cry is e~'conyentlal." But there has
been a great awakening upon the sub
ject. The people have taken it up be-
cause they are concerned, for 1t is one
that lies at the foundation Of good
government. We will hear much Of II
in the next campaign. That cam
paign is upon US now, and 1t is a cam.
paign for honest government in the
hands Of the people-the masses OF
the people-they r going 70 STAMP
out boodling and politically kill of
the boodlers. They r going to turn
away from men having the faint OF
suspicion Of public dishonesty about
them. They are going to demand foI
public trusts, men OF aggressive hon
lesty, with the courage TO expose anC
punish crime instead Of compromising
with OF ~concealing 1t. Mr.. Folk from
time to time as he can get relief from
his official duties will deliver ad
dresses in different parts of the Stat
upon the topic of Good Government.

faith in his honesty, as shown by hi

UNFAv0RABLE OUTLOOK
FOR CORN IN MISSOURI
Crop Report Predicts That it VIII be
la5,000,000 Bushels Short Of Last
Year.

COLUMBIA, Mo, Aug. 3.-Secretary
George Bellls OF the Missouri State
Board Of Agriculture gave out the fol-
lowing monthly report concerning
present crop conditions:
CoRE-Thesame extreme conditions
prevail concerning the corn crop that
existed one month ago and the gener-
al average condition remains about
the same. Several counties show I'm
improvement during the month. while
Others show a decline. The average
condition of all correspondents reports
is ~, exactly the same az last month,
but the condition has declined during
the month 8 points In the reT;heast
section, with an acreage Of .,2ss 900.
The northwest, with an acreage or
2,032, 600, has declined 2 points. The
central section, with an acreage Of
920, 600, has declined 2 points, The
southeast section, with an acreage Of
], 434, 900, has improved 3 points. The
southeast, showing the highest aver
age Of any section, has improved 8
points during the month, and the ac-
reage for that section is 91,000.
Much Of the early corn on fiat land
has tasseled very low, while on rolling
land there is considerable good corn.
With seasonable rains and late frosts
much of the late corn will make a fair
crop.
On August !, 1902, the conditions
for the State were 101, and the final
yield was 07, 1854, 900 bushels. The pres
ent conditions indicate a probable
yield Of 1872, 600, 900, which is 125, 0o0,0 900
bushels less than the crop Of last year.
There is, however, considerable old
corn in the cribs, compared with very
little that was on hand n year ago.
1t is estimated that 81 per cent Of the
overflowed corn lands has been re-
planted.
BROOM CoRS-Much Of the crop is
late and the condition for the State
only IA.
CoTToN-There has been an i'm
proyement of 8 points in the cotton
condition during the month, the pres
emit condition being IS.
In Dunklin county, where more than
half of the cotton is raised, the aver
age condition is 81. However, cotton
is just now needing rain in some coun-
| ties.
HAY-A full crop Of hay Of excellent
quality has been harvested, and pas
lures are generally doing well. The
second, or seed, crop Of clover promises
fair, the average condition being 81.
HoNEY-The fine crop Of white
clover has furnished an excellent bee
pasture, and more than an average
crop of very fine honey has been gath
cred. The average condition Of honey
for the State is l0l.
APPLEs-The condition OF the apple
crop is very unfayorable, promising
little more than one-third Of q crop,
being about the same as one month
ago.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1903-08-06


truth comes out, will be shown to be
much more corrupt, even granting
that all is true which has been said
about Phelps by his worst enemies.
Phelps and others who have bought
legislation, II they have bought legis-
latlon, are Just as guilty as the mem
mers OF the Legislature, who have
been purchased, All corruptionists
must abide by the results reached by
grant jaries and courts. II guilty
they should be punished. The laws Of
Missouri are for the rich and the poor,
the high and the low, Democrats and
Republicans; all alike must suffer
when the law is violated.
