The Democrats allege that the
brewery interests of St. Louis put
up money to carry Missouri for
the Republican party last fall, a
statement that does not look at all
we'll in the light of the fact that
one of the leading and millionaire
brewers received the compliment
of seven votes in the Democratic
senatorial caucus held at Jefferson
City last Thursday, Il recognition
conferred upon him by that party
for services rendered. In the past
the brewers have been large con-
tributors to the Democratic cam
paign funds, much of which boo.
die found its way into close coun-
ties to aid in holding the legisla-
ture solid for the Democratic par
ty, so that Vest or Cockrell, alter
nately might be returned to the
United States Senate. No one
ever held Vest or Cockrell respon-
sible for these contributions or the
use to which the funds were put,
and their official integrity or honor
was never impugned on these
grounds. We are sorry to learr
| that any of the money used by the
Republican party in Missouri in th'
late campaign had been derived
from beer or liquor interests. Th'
Republicans have voted upon them
selves the investigation of thes'
charges with a readiness that alb.
solves the party from being in an.
way committed to these influence
by reason of their contributions.

State Aid for Roads.

A convention at Columbia, Mo-,
to discuss the question of state aid
to road improvement is a timely
reminder of the fact that nothing
as yet has been done on the sub
ject by the legislature of Missouri.
The good roads movement has
reached the practical stage in many
of the states. In the last ten years
all the New England states, with
New York, Pennsylvania, Dele
ware and California, have estab-
Iished highway commissions, and
assist counties, towns and town.
ships by state aid. New York's
state aid appropriation last year
was 100000, making a total thus
far of 50, ,065,oo0. The New York
legislature, in addition, decided to
submit constitutional amendment
providing $1,000, 900 in state bonds
for ten years buildings of wagon
roads.
Three years ago Pennsylvania
created Il state highway commits
sion and appropriated $1,000, 900
20 be apportioned among the diff
fcrent counties according to road
mileage, and to be expended in six
years. In Ohio last year, under
legislative call, state good roads
convention was held, and adopted
resolutions for state aid. Massa-
chnsetts' state aid to roads so far
foots up 81, $40, 900, and the last
legislature appropriated S2, $780,
900 to be spent ON state highways
in the next five years. New Jer-
sey's annual state aid is 5O,0OO,
and the expenditure in ten years
has been $l,515, 16S. Connecticut
appropriates s225,ooO a year and
has spent 81 ,53S, ,91o for the pur-
pose. Florida has set aside $780,
900 in Indian war claims for the
improvement of wagon roads. The
Rhode Island annual appropria-
tion is 800. 900, expended by a
state board of public roads. Yer
mont's appropriation is $4,000 Il
year.
State departments to gather in
formation on good rords have been
established in California, Delaware
Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Mime
sofa, Mississippi, Missouri, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, North
Carolina, Oregon and Tennessee.
A good roads commission in Illi-
nois has just completed its report.
Good roads are an economic
proposition. Thoy save more
money than they cost. They raise
the price of land as we'll as reduce
the cost of getting products TO
market. One of the speakers at
the Columbia convention stated
that the farmers of Missouri show
less interest in good roads than is
exhibited by the residents of towns
and cities. This Indifference on
the farms, if it exists, is hard to
understand, especially in view OF
the rapid extension of rural free
delivery, one of the necessary con-
Gtions of which is roads that can
be conveniently travelled at all
seasoDs.-Globe Democrat.
