the treasury as it should have
been at the time, or immediately
after the close Of that term OF the
circuit court. Why it has not
been done before this is a mys-
terry. 1t may be that it was de.
posted in the Bates National
Bank and is now tied up with the
closing of that institution.
Had this money been promptly
paid over to the county treasurer
as the law required, it would have
been earning six per cent inter
est for the benefit of the public
schools of the county. Treasurer
Bell informs US that there has
been a larger demand for loans
from the school fund than the
county court has been able to
supply. All fines of this char
acter are added to the perma-
nent school fund of the county.
This fund is loaned on well Sc
cured real estate and the accu-
mulating interest derived from
these loans is each year applied
to the support of our public
schools. 1t is to the interest of
the tax payers of the county that
these fines should be promptly
paid, and just as promptly turn
ed over 10 the county treasurer,
so that they may be available for
loans, and thereby begin to draw
interest for the use of our public
schools. It would be interesting
therefore TO know what the pur-
pose is in Withholding the pay
ment of this $500 from the conn.
ty treasury all these months. It
certainly cannot be claimed that
it is good business policy be-
cause the schools lose by it to
the amount it would have earned
at six per cent. - Butler Repub-

Good Man.

Hon. A. w. Maxwell passed
through our city Wednesday on
his way from Osceola to Bates
county, where he will make a
number of campaign speeches in
the interest of Mr.. Atkeson and
the Republican ticket in general.
Many of our people will remem-
Der Mr.. Maxwell as the gentle
man who delivered one Of the
most effective speeches of the en-
tire campaign here two years
ago. He has an agreeable per-
sonality, both on and off the
stump; is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with all of the issues of the
day, and has a mastery style Of
argument that carries his point
home 10 his hearers. He is an
inspiration TO those of his own
political faith and readily secures
and retains the closest attention
of those who are open to convic-
ton. He was a great strength
to the Republicans here two
years ago, and we are confident
our Bates county friends will
find he has been of much benefit
TO them. - arrisonville News.

Those members of the Iroquois

" voiced a sentiment that is
pretty widely entertained, even
if rarely expressed with such
frankness. MOI in years had the
Democrats been so hopeful as
they were when Mr.. Bryan re-
turned from abroad. Many Of
them believed then that if he
would leave the old discre6ited

concentrated his energies on the
sound and urgent Democratic
doctrine Of low tariff, he could
defeat the strongest Republican

that almost any Republican who

nomination could defeat Bryan

We have been often asked upon
what we based the following edi-
torial in our paper of June %,
1906:
How DeArmond Voted.
when the House of Represen-
tatives passed the bill providing
for government inspection of
packing house business, Con-
gresham DeArmond from our
district, the 9th District of Mis-
souri,, was the only member from
the whole United States to vote
against it. 1t must be that there
are three hundred and eighty
five of the dumbest men or big
gest fools in the country in the
House OF Representatives, or our
Dave is the smartest fellow alive.
We have no doubt he voted as his
judgment dictated, but what
about the Judgment of the three
hundred and eighty-ive other
fellows. Does any one in the 9th
District who ever heard Of w. o.
Atkeson believe for one moment
that he would have voted as De
Almond did?"
The basis of this editorial was
the following dispatch to the city
dailies from Washington. We
caught it in the Globe Democrat;
Meat Inspection Bill Dear

Washington, June 19.-In for
ty minutes, and with only one
dissenting vote, that of Repre-
sentative DeArmond, the great
obiector, from Missouri, the
House accepted and passed the
meat inspection law urged by the
national administration. There
was one incident worthy of note
in the closing scene of the strug-
gle of days over the form which
the legislation should take. The
minority leader quoted a little
Shakespeare and tried to point
to Republican schism over the
measure, but without success
