Two Joplin small boys were dig
ging when their spade ran against
a small pine box. They picked it
up, and to their surprise, aud de-
light, found it WAS real hidden
treasure, for it contained about $40
in paper money. 1t is supposed
that the money WAS stolen many
years ago and was buried where it
was found, by thieves who forgot
it's location. The bills are 90 badly
mildewed that they cannot be put

they can be redeemed.

The American people look for ac-
ton in politics. For years the
Democrats undertook to champion
the Panama canal project, but now
that decisive steps haye been taken
by u Republican administration TO
bring about the inauguration Of
that great work, the Democrats
look upon the canal not as hole
through which to send ships across
tho isthmus, but one to pnt the
Republicans into. Bat 1t begins
to look as though the Democrats
were carrying their policy of mega
ton too far. The southern Demo-
cratic states which from their To-
cation are peculiarly interested in
The Panama canal scheme, have
come to kalk against the tactics
of the party. They demand action
and not obstruction, and whatever
criticism they may have offered

thy with him in his conduct in

satisfactory conclusion. The Dem
oerats will wake up finally only to
find they have put themselves in Il

Democrats who took the occasion
at this meeting TO align themselves
with tho reform movement inaug-
urated by Mr.. Folk were many

have, beyond dispute, no further
motive in differing from the ma

Another SCapegoat.

The chief ringsters in the ma
chine controlling this state havo
decided that they are perfectly
willing to heap odium upon the
legislature of Missouri for more
than dozen years, provided the
ringsters themselves can hang on,
along with their trust partners, to
their bonanza. They argue that
they got rid of the lieutenant gov
srnor by the scapcgoat route, and
that, as more unloading is neces-
sary, the legislatures will answer
the purpose. Not one Of the gang
comes forward to dispute Mr..
Folks scathing arraignment OF
several successive legislatures.

If any state official, present or

described the situation wrongly,
let him speak promptly. ''Seleet

the touch of an unelean dollar to

Why Prosperity Will Remain.

The above subject has recently
been discussed in the editorial col
umns of e. daily exchange, in whicl,
it is pointed out that the exports
of merchandise from the United
States were larger in October than
in any other montl, in the history
OF our foreign trade except Octob-
er, 1900, while recently it had
been shown that the November ex-
ports have ever-topped those of
EOctober. Taking together Ociob
-er and November Of the present
-year'the exports beat all records
for two months. 1t is pointed out
by the exchange that this is one
reason, and the most important
one, why there can be no cessation
OF prosperous conditions in this
country.
So long as there is a growing
foreign demand for American sur
plus products at prices that now
prevail, the homo market is bound
to he active. We have sold over
30 millions moro abroad during the
past month than we did during
November Of a year ago. That
extra 80 millions unlouds a very
considerable product of both farm
and factory. 1t clears the home
market und stimulates the demand.
With the exceptions of October of
this year and October of 1900, our
November sales are over Is millions
more than during any previous
month of our history. n gain of
Is millions is an enormous stimu-
Ius to domestic production.
There is one other feature Of
our November trade that confirms
the impression that existing bust
ness conditions favor continued
prosperity. The people are econ
on1zing. There was over eight
millions less bought abroad in No,
vember than in the same month Il
year ago. While sales have .ex-
panded purchases hayo contracted.
As permanent policy we cannot
always sell abroad and buy little
or nothing in return, but Just at
this time it is undoubtedly a salts
flying thought that it is our sales
and not our purchases that ure in
fating. A big balance of trade is
a guaranty of restored confidence.
Should this foreign demand con-
tinue into next year at the level of
the Ouctober and November trade
nothing can prevent American
farmers and manufacturers from
entering upon new season with
absolute Insurance of paying
market for everything they can
produce. And when the American
farmer and manufacturer can sell
to advantage the country is pros
porous, even though a few specu-
lators, or even few thousand, find
it difficult to unload undiQested Sc
curities. and Stockman.

Vention of the International Typo

ton with the consideration of the vol
luminous report of the committee on
avs The proposition under consider
alton was to the effect that no mem
Der of the international Typographical
union shall enlist in the service of any
state in the United States as state
guards, militia men or rangers, under
the penalty of expulsion and being de
barred from reinstatement. On this
proposition the committee on laws had
reported favorably. AS sentiment in
savur of adopting the committees re-
port arose in the convention, Delegate
Anderson, of Macon. Ga. chairman OF
the committee or laws, jumped to his
feet. When. in patriotic address. h
quoted the famous lines of Sir Walter
Scott: rs there a man With soul so

the climax was reached. Cheers re
sounded thru the hall, and by an
overwhelming majority the convention
decided that nothing should be done
to prevent members of the Interna-

SOLD FRAUDULENT PAPERS.
Big Sums Realized on Unsuspectine

New York, Aug. II. The sale of
fraudulent naturalization papers has
Melted 100000 in the last year, accord
ing to statement given out last night
by George w. Morgan, state superin :
tendent of elections. He estimates
that 100000 fraudulent papers have
been sold in New York state about
one third of these having been issued
in this city. The Illicit business shows
a large decrease in this city as re-
suit of the activity OF the elections de-
partment
After referring to the discovery OF
the fraudulent certificates by Commits
sioner William Williams OF the Ellis
Island emigration bureau, to the find
ing OF a plant in Newark, n. j., where
three Italians printed and sold them,
and to President Roosevelts message
to congress in December last. which
caused activity in all the public de-
partments where the evil might be
checked, the statement says:
1T is found that the Italians are by
far the greater offenders in this mat
ter, although many instances have been
discovered among Greeks and Armeni-
ans, and a lesser number among the
Germans. 1t has been estimated that
fully 80 per cent OF the Italian citizens
in this vicinity hold fraudulent natur-
alization papers. The courts as Il re-
suit of this scandal, have become par
ticularly rigid in the enforcement of
the regulations governing naturaliza-
