Those misguided people who con-
tend that the financial question Is Il
dead issue" may or may not be un-
deceived by the recommendation Of
President Roosevelt in his message,
that the greenbacks be retired and
silver coin be made rcdeemablc i'll
gold. The retirement Of grcenbacks
would add still more to the profits
of national banks and deprive the
people Of one Of their legal tender
moneys; as Congressman Williams
put it in the house the other day, it
would dispIace govcrnmcnt-pro-
vided money with hank-provided
money. and thereby enable the
banks to make profit on it." The
attempt to make silver dollars
mere token money redccmable in
/ gold would deprive the people OF
another one of their legal tender
moneys, The money trust will be
made more powerful and its profits
off the people enhanced if the pres
| ident's recommendation is carried
out and already the work Of tinker
ing with the tariff to this end has
BEGUN in the House. Ii has been a
Ioug insidious movement on the
part of the great banking institu-
tons to deprive the government OF
the moncy-mal1ing prcr0gatlvc and
secure the full control of that
powerful leverage to themselves.
Beginning with the surreptitlOus
and practical destruction OF the bl-
metallic policy of the government
in 1873, with the aid of the rcpub-
lican party and nota few democrats
whose interests lie in the same dir
ection, they have succeeded iii es-
tablishing a single gold standard
Now they feel that they are sutii-
, cientiy cntrenchcd to move forward
and accomplish the rcst--destroy

The Fate of the amendments
i'm Missouri.

All Of the five proposed cOnsti-
tutiOnaI amendments were defeated
by large majoritcs. The size of the
mai0ritics was due, doubtless to the
fact that coming as they did during
the national campaign, there was
not enough interest manifested in
them to give them serious thought.
4 comparison of figures in this con-
ncctiOn is Of interest. The first
amendment, providing for the pen
sioning Of disabled policemen in
cities Of one hundred thousand or
more, the expense to be borne by
these cities, was defeated by $4,000
majority. The second amendment,
providing for the adoption of the
initiative and referendum, was lost
by $500 votes. The third, the
amendment providing for free text
books in the public schools, was
defeated by 53,200. The Oliver
amendment, the fourth as it was
known, received 23,500 votes
against it. The provision to create
fund for the construction of Il
new statchousc, the fifth amendm cnt
was loss by about 114,000. 1t is to
be regretted that constitutional
amendments which the general as
scmbly consider worthy Of consid,
/ Grafton by the people, and some OF
which, III this case, should have
been adopted, should receive SO
little Thought from the average
voter. 1t would undoubtly be wise
to provide special elections forsurt
amendments that due consideration
should be given them and at = time
when ne other question or issue
will prevent their receiving the
thought which any modification o
the nstituti Ii should /, ceive.-

Why not go the whole thing?
Senator Latimcr's bill approprat-

build good roads has been favorably
reported from the committees. In
this connection the Kansas City

amended as to appreciate another
s24, 100000 to help the farmers get
good wagons to run on the roads.
The farmers are pretty we'll weight
cd down with prosperity, but they
probably will not refuse fifty mil
lions or so If Congress insists on
their taking it."-~St. Louis Star.
Where are the farmers who care
pretty we'll weighted down with
prosperity?" When have the far
mers of this country received any
thing from the government that
they did not earn? How much
money Is taken from the pockets OF
these same farmers every year by
syndicates and trusts under the
guise of protection? We are as
nuch opposed to paternalism as
anybody, and when during the last
session of Congress that bill was
introduced, copies oft were sent tc
the newspapers all over the country
with q request that they urge its
passage. But because ofits pattern
