The Independent last week gave
some interesting figures relating to
the school revenues of Missouri,
and showed In display type that in
1905 Washington county paid in
taxes and interest for school par
poses only 81, ,502, and drew out
of the state revenues for the same
purpose S6,lG0: or S3,63S more
than it put in, and leaves the in
ference that the difference is Il
philanthropic gift from some mys-
terious source having its fountain
head in wise laws enacted 10y
the Democratic party. 1t must
seem strange to all who have read
this article in the Independent that
If the Democratic party could Tx
it 50 that our county could get
two thirds of its school funds for
nothing, that it would leave the
people to pay the other one-third.
Why did it not make us a present
of the whole amount. 1t stands
to reason that if Washington conn-
ty is getting over six thousand
dollars year for the support of
its school, someone has to pay it,
if not the taxpayers of this county
then the taxpayers of some other
part of the state. While this may
be pleasant to our own people, we
still have the other fellows to hear
from. Under Democratic rule in
Missouri the whole burden of the
support of the school was thrust
upon tae people by taxation, the
state has practically no school
revenue from any other source.
We once had pretty fair school
fund invested in securities which
brought in revenue from outside
sources, but the Democratic iparty
spent these millions for other pur-
poses, and now the people of the
state are going down into their
pockets every year for $25O.0oO
to pay the interest on this ''mag-
nifcent" debt. To support the
schools Of the state, immaterial of
what one or another of the counties
get, it mustall como out of the
pockets Of the people of Missouri.

Mr.. Nj. Il. Smith, the Democrat
ic nominee for Congress in this
district, is not safe man to whom
to intrust the representation of the
district, his past and present re-
cord is too closely aligned with
corporate interest to corroborate
his attitude in this campaign as the
champion of the interests of the
masses. His conduct as state sena-
tor from the Twenty-fou dis-
trict some years ago bears out the
allegation, it is said, that he was
the puppot of the railroads while
acting for the people as their rep
resentative in the senate.

We give below on excerpt from
an article by David Graham Phil
lips in the September ''CosmopoIi-
tan," entitled, 1.-The Treason of the
Senate" The article is quite non
partisan and fays the traitors to
the people of both parties without
discrimination. We publish the
excerpt for the benefit of our
Democratic friends, whose party
in convention here recently endors-
ed the conduct of Senator Stone
without reserve. The writer says:
''Stone of Missouri is one of the
Democratic OF Bailey bunch in
the "merger." An ancient and
experienced lobbyist, fami!iarly
known as ''Gum- shoe Bill" he was
made nationally famous when his
fellow lobbyist, Bill Phelps, said,
1--WE both. suck eggs, but Stone be
hides the Shells In 1899 he op-
posed the assessment of St. Louis
street-railway companies at seven
million dollars as ''overyaluation"
they now pay on twenty million
dollars, thanks to the great Folk
reform wave. 1t was that wave
which, soon after Stones election
to the Senate in 1908, caused the
exposure of his lobbying in 1901
for the baking powder trust, and
how he disguised himself as the
missouri Pure Food Society,"
said society consisting of himself
and two other men. Yet he said
to the legislative committee, Il
appear before you at the request
of the Health Society of Missouri,
composed of good people, both
men and women, living in different
parts Of the state"
In the Senate Stone has done
nothing beyond making a few
famous buncombe speeches. Like
his fellow Democrats of the "mer-
GER" now that their votes are not
needed BY "the interests he is
helping to make cheap, snowy
"political capital wherever it can
be done without exposing 1.-The in
terests' to specific criticism. Thus,
when the people grow weary of
the So called Republican wing oi
the merger" the leaders of the
so called Democratic wing eau
cry: "Pu. us in. We are real pa
triots. We voted against the
steals! We will serve you" The
