The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1904-02-26

This years electoral college will
contain 20 more votes than the
old college, owing 10 the result OF
the npportionmcnt following the
census of 1900. The old college
contained ~ votes, the now will
contain i7G. II will take go votes
to elect n president. In 1900 Me-
kinlcy received 200 votes and
Bryan i65. The democrats will
need states casting ~ electoral
votes in addition to what they had
In 1900, for the new apportionmcnt
gives them 80 more votes than
they had In 1900, although II gives
the republicans 10 more.

Folks Prospects Not Bright.

However distastcful II may be Ia
the friends of good government in
Missouri, the fact seems tn be that
MIR. Folk is gradually losing his
lead In the race for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor.
The state house ring Is using every
means Mt its command, fair and
FOUL, to kill oil the st. Louisan.
and there is room for no doubt
that 1t Is making Roadway In this
endeavor. Judging by the tone
o y n country press, II In by no
means certain that IL the Demo-
cratic state convention should
meet tomorrow Mayor Reed would
not nave more votes than Mr..
Folk; and that 1t seems perfectly
certain that Mr.. Folk would not
nave enough votes to nominate
MIN without n protracted contest.
The present indications are that
Reed Will be the nominee. This
cannot but be a pleasing pros
pect to partisan Republicans who
want the Democracy to do that
which will give the Republican
nominee the best chance of win
ming, but contemplation Of II has
a depressing effect upon citizens
who put the interests of the state
above those of party, and who
want the state house to DO thor.
oughly purged of Doodle and
graft whether Republicans or
Democrats win. Mayor Reeds
present administration in Kansas
City utterly forbids the hope that
as governor he would give the
state a good administration. Reed
never administers anything. He

Tioisture In Butter.

uhfin'fN krNlcw.l
Some time ago the emf
made a ruling on the water content
allowed In butter and put 10 per
cent. as the highest. Recently
butter dealers in Chicago have had
their attention called to this matter
by the government officials having
such matters in charge. Some
creamery butter was found In
Chicago having a water content of
u per cent. Some ladlc butter
and some whey butter also came
under the ban of the law. II will
he well for all makers OF butter for
the general market to take heed to
this ruling, as they may otherwise
subject themselves to heavy fines.
II butter Is made that has toe
much water In II, IL will be far
better to keep ii on the farm and
consume II there than send IL 10
market. Butter that is churned at
from 90 to u degrees probably
never has n moisture content in
excess of that allowed by law. Il
Is far otherwise with butter churn-
ed at say 50 degrees, as the higher
the churning point the greater the
amount of water Incorporated. In
the past some butter makers have
taken advantage OF this fact to
work into their butter an unusual
amount of water. Hence laws
were made establishing a MAXI
mum standard for the moisture
content.

to a proposition involving the construe-
ton of a canal at Buffalo, James J.

ing this morning before the committee
on rivers and harbors Of the house

language his opinion of the Mississippi
river as a transportation factor
L am an old river man myself he
began, and used to steamboat be-
tween St. Louis and St Paul Before

You might as well try to lath and pias-
ter the bottom Of that river as to build
locks OF to keep dredging out what the
river deposits again every year. The
bottom of that old stream is paved
with lost hopes. Its day is gone"
The points at issue had nothing
whatever to do with. the Mississippi
river. But Chairman Curtis became
interested in what Mr. Hill had to say
and the hearing digressed into the
question of the river as a competing
factor as opposed to the railroads. The
railroad millionaire. lately worsted in
the Northern Securities fight. discussed
the matter very energetically. using
gestures and speaking with heat.
To compete with a railroad which
is managed economically and intel
