JOE BURNETT
Editor of Rails County Record Goes
Back On Joe Folk.

tion Of the Democratic party
ON account Of the large amount
of cooling aud general rascal.
ity that has developed among
members of the party aud sew
eral off cia Is, while he seems to
be rather silent respecting a
greater number Of Republicans
who have been found equally
guilty. Mr.. Folk should state
that he is a Democrat and is
working 10 the Democratic par.
ty, expecting to receive Demo-
cratic support. He should
stand ur for the present admin
istratlon, which is a good one;
give praise where praise is due,
and condemn those who have
proven recreant to duty. Mr..
Folk owes this much to his
friends. Looking over the his
tory of the Democratic party
since 1t shook off the Republi-
can shackles after the war, one
naturally feels proud that he is
Democrat, aud a certain feel
ing of resentment rises up in
his nature when he hears the
whole party condemned as cor
rupt, because he knows that it
is not true. When one party
remains in power for years, it
is expected that here and there
irregularities will crop out,
but when that party captures
the criminals and puulshes
them, the inference must arise
that the party as a party is
pure. By denouncing the party
as corrupt, Mr.. Folk is giving
the enemy ammunition to blow
up and batter down his own de-
lenses should he be nominated.

State Committee at it's meeting
last Monday would have been
TO have refused Phelps the
right to sit as member of that
body. TIE scheme sprung by
him TO have the State Com
mittee direct that the state del
ega'es shall be elected by town
ships, is unprecedented and i'm
practica ble. There is no town
ship organization in the state
aud the only purpose in the
Phelps scheme was to enable
this notorious corruptionist to
further disgrace the Democrat
ic party by breaking into the
state convention as a delegate
from Jasper county.
The action of the State Com
mittee was not only timely but
wise. The Democracy of Mis-
souri, ought to unload Phelps
ism. No party can afford to tol
crate a creature of the Phelps
stripe IN its party councils.
In Jackson county the proceed
ent heretofore established of Sc
lecting state delegates will
doubtless be followed this year.
The friends of Mayor Reed did
not precipitate the issue in the

question was raised by Bill
Phelps and the committee very
properly sat down on him hard.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ver-of Cape Girardeau. has
been indiscreet enough to give
the City Central Committee OF
st. Louis lot of gratuitous ad-
vice, and it ia turn tells Mr..
Vandiver to attend to his busl-
ness, or quit dra wing salary as
a congressman, and it also
points out many inaccuracies in
Pants advice.
Then, on top of that, a news
item from Washington, shows
that if Mr.. Vandiver-who is
always present pay day-who IS
hardly ever seen in Washington,
had been with six other Demo-
cratic congressman, in their
seats, where the Constitution
says they should have been,
Congressman Howell of the
Tenth Pennsylvania District
would not have been turned
down and out. If collecting an
uuearned salary is not grating,
then what is it? And if it is,
then is Congressman Vandiver
different from other grafters
and boodlerS.

Down With PheIpsism.


Phelps the professional rail-
road lobbyist, at the meeting
OF the Democratic State Com
mittee.in St. Louis on Monday,
has some significant features.
he. held the proxy of Henry
Quellmalz, who is the only out
and-Out supporter of Joseph W.
Folk for Goyerpor among the
st. Louis members of State
Committee. Quellmalz is a
membe of the Folk for Gov
ernor" org anization, hence the
appearance of Bill Phelps as
his representative at the State
Committee meeting can have
no other meaning than that
Phelps is sincerely supporting
Mr.. Folk for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. Bill
Phelps was the official repre-
sentative of the Folk organiza-
ton at the State Committee
meeting.
1t must be remembered in this
connection that Phelps, while
nominaIly Il Democrat. has &C
tuaIIy participated in the affairs
of the Democratic party of Mis-
souri, solely tor the purpose of
serving the interests of the
Missouri Pacific railroad. He
is the legislative agent of the
combined railroad interests,
who has attended all the recent
sessions of the general assem-
bly, as their accredited agent.
Senator Busche, during the re-
cent bribery investigation in St.
Louis, testified that Phelps at
different times had paid him
brides which amounted in the
aggregate to SIS, 600. In fact,
it is we'll known to all men ia
miliar with state affairs that

cesstui aud most brazeu corrup-
tionlst who has ever figured in

lied in Jasper county and at
this time luIIy three-fourths of
the loyal Democrats of that
county are opposed to him and
his corrupt methods. On &C
count of the old time rivalry
bet Ween Carthage and Joplin
Phelps has been able to secure
the support of few reputa BILE
men in Carthage who allow
their prejudice against Joplin
to sway their political action.
Phelps has never pretended to
be loyal to any r.rty. He is
buccaneer III politics, and a
Democrat because Democracy is
the majority party in Missouri.
After William j Stone was in.
'dorsed by eighty counties in the
state Tor United States senator
Phelps and his cohorts effected
combines with the Republicans
in all the close counties in
Southwest Missouri for the pur +.
pose of securing the election of
Republican members of the leg
islature who would vote for
millionaire Dick" Kerens,
Governor Stones Republican
opponent.
There can be no doubt about
Bill Phelps treachery to the
Democratic party. While a
member of the State Committee
he betrayed the secrets of the
party to the Globe Democrat

GROWERS.
Profitable Operations in Vegetables an
Fruit by Truckers Association Til
Year.

Oh the EdSG OdrO1lud LUCK II
Fruit Growers Association, MI. III.
t. Baughman, business agent of the
Association, reported as follows:
"The total acreage planted in
Strawberries in 1904 was $685. acres.
against 6,474 acres in 1908. The to-
tai number of crates shipped in 1904
was 54S, 700, against 493, 734 in 1908.
There was al increase in the general
average per acre also. In 1904 the
average was 80 crates to the acre
and in 1908 II crates. The net in
crease in the number of crates over
1908 was 54,985, or 165 cars.
"The strawberry distribution this
season was even superior to that of
last year, and embraced many new
markets. At no time was there an
oversupply in any one market, al
though our daily shipments for quite
a period we're something almost
startling. Take the memorable 10th
of May, when PA refrigerator cars
of strawberries passed through Rocky
Mount. Forty went to New York, 20
to Boston, 21 to Philadelphia, 20 to
Pittsburg, 16 to Buffalo, 9 TO Newark.
z to Providence, 6 to Cleveland and
the balance, from n to five ars
each, to New England, interior New
York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Western and Canadian markets. In
40 instance was any one market glut-
ted. This held good also on other
days, when al, 40, 131, 1876, 100
and 100 refrigerator cars. respective
ly, we're forwarded from South Rocky
Mount. That the daily information
sem out in form of bulletins, tele-
grams, telephones and letters to the
various shipping and receiving points
is the keynote to this distribution
is conceded by all, without which
chaos and disaster would attend our
efforts in disposing of our crops.
"The executive committee, with it's
usual good judgment in placing every
safeguard around the interests of our
growers, authorized me to appoint
agents of the Association in New
York, Pittsburg and Richmond to
look after these interests and report
daily to me at South Rocky Mount as
to movement, delivery and condition
of berries and vegetables on arrival
in the markets to which they we're
consigned. The reports of these
agents we're promptly made each day,
and there is no doubt but that their
presence in these markets contributed
to the prompt deliveries and better
ment of the service in every particu-
lar. The railroad and commission
men with whom [ have correspondent
in this matter one and all agree that
these agents served the purpose for
which they were appointed and were
a great benefit to the transportation
companies, the receivers, and, we
know, to our Association. / have had
our agents at each point make a
general report of the seasons bust

p~roximately to peas, radishes and
other vegetables, 126,570 packages;
tatoes, 102,O1S barrels and barrel
crates; cantaloupes, 90,916 packages;
total packages, 800 ,5O4.
From information in hand and
from reports sent in to me from the
various growers in each section the
average gross price of strawberries
to the growers was So per crate.
There we're shipped 549, ZOO crates,
bringing to this section from straw
berries alone the handsome sum of
$1,097, AIS. Of this amount fully IS
per cent was paid to the growers at
the various stations in cash by buy
ers at home and from abroad.
From information furnished me
by the truckers of Wilmington and
other points and from my knowledge
of the markets at the time of ship
ping, the gross price to the growers
on vegetables, namely, lettuce, beans.
peas, etc., potatoes and cantaloupes.
was about as follows: Lettuce, $4,000
packages, $3.50 per package, $780,
600; beans, peas and other vegeta-
bles, 126,570 packages, 81 per pack
age, $126,570; dewberries, II ,443 pack
ages or crates, So per crate, $22,896:
Irish potatoes, 102,01S barrels, $3.50
per barrel, $255,O45; cantaloupes,
90,316 packages, $3.50 per package,
$136,374. Total, $660,S75. Grand to-
tai strawberries and truck, $1,759,293.
"The increase in both the straw
berry and vegetable output this sea-
son, coupled with the good prices OBJ
tanned, has been very gratifying to
our people and encourages them to
greater efforts in the future.
"From this great strawberry and
trucking industry alone the farmers
of Eastern Carolina have realized the
sum of $1,758,293, and they are to be
congratulated on the system and Or
ganization under which they work
and which makes it possible to sue
cessfully market their crops, be they
small or large.
"The business of the season as a
whole has been a profitable one and
the final result satisfactory"
