The republican national committee
has issued a circular, quoted in part
IN the Kansas City Star Of Thursday,
which says that the first number on
the republican programme 10 the
event Of Roosevelt's election is the
redistricting Of the Southern states
that have restricted tue suffrage. 1t
is earnestly hoped that the republican
party is really mad enough to do this,
for 1t is impossible to conceive Of a
line Of policy more calculated L .break
that party forever.

The apparent apathy in this county
is not to be construed to mean that
the people are Indifferent to the re-
suits Of the November election, but
only that they have made up their
minds and are not interested IN hear
ing campalgners on the subject.
There is hardly doubt that the
democratic voters will be found at
the polls in force and that the usual
majority will be given to the national,
state and county tickets.

A Democratic Achievement.

Without one cent increase in the
tax levy Governor A. M. Dockery has
brought about the greatest progress In
higher education in Missouri ever made
in a similar period in the history Of
the commonwealth. Under his
administration the growth of the Uni.
versitY of Missouri has been little less
than phenomenal. For the year 1900,
the year preceding Dockery's admins.
iratlon, the total income Of the
Unlversity including the school of
Mines Was approximately S2I8, 900;
this year, the last Of his term, the total
income Of the institution is estimated
at e4S6,O00 or double what 1t was
when ne entered the governors
mansion. Nor IS this all. Already,
since he became governor, $500, 900
has been spent in constructing and
furnishing six University buildings a.
Columbia and three ct Rolls and be.
fore his term shall finally expire next
January, two other buildings costing
nearly $50, 900 will be nearing com.
pletion at Columbia. The equipment
OF the University apart from buildings,
books and grounds shows q similar
marvellous growth. The value Of
equipment in the entire University on
the first OF January. 1901 was s2l7, 900:
on the first Of January. 1905 when
Dockery shall step dowDAnd Quit VIII
he worth approximately SS17, 900, an
increase Of as per cent. The University
library has felt the same magic touch.
On January LIST, 1901 1t contained
10000 volumes and e $1,000 pamphlets:
January 1st, 1905 1t will contain
10000 volumes and $4,000 pamphlets.
Along with this growth in material
has come an increase In the
number Of students. During the ses-
sion Of 10000, 1887 students were en-.
In all departments; according to
conservative estimates the enrolment
his session will be 1900.

been suspected and charged for years
but it was never before admitted
even inadvertently by an authority
high in the councils Of that party.

George H. Maxwell 10 4 recent
address suggests that the government
adopt the standing policy OF employ.
Ing the idle In times OF depression ID
the reclamation OF worthless land 10
all parts of the country by irrigation
and diking; and that the men SO
employed be given opportunities to
enter small quantities of such land
for homes, This suggestion,
whatever objections may be found to
It, is certainly wiser than that Of the
scores Of popullsts, socialists and
agitators who would make everybody
rich and happy by various forms Of
legal legerdemain. The natural
wealth OF the country could be
doubled by dlking rivers, draining
swamps, and irrigation, and the cost
Of the process paid out Of the profits
as the work goes on.

Of the Episcopal church at Boston
during the past three weeks, an effort
was made to adopt a canon forbidding
the remarrlage Of divorced persons
under any circumstances whatever.
Finally the proposal was modified SO
as to except the innocent party to a
divorce granted upon scriptural
grounds, providing a year had elapsed
since the granting Of the divorce.
