ferent parties, they will consider the
principles for which they stand, and
with that intelligent conservatism that
is the distinguishing characteristic of
the Missourian, they will reach a just
and a patriotic conclusion.
FALSE CLAIMS OF REPUBLICANS.
With its accustomed effrontery, the
Republican party has put forth a plat
form in which it claims for its various
nominees unbounded credit for results
brought about by Democratic laws. In
the light of this bombastic document,
it is we'll to review the conduct of Re-
publican officials when they controlled
these same offices, unhampered by the
restraining influence of Democratic
legislation.
When Republicans controlled the
State, the Treasurer deposited the
States funds with his friends, and the
interest received thereon was a fat
~perquisite that went to his W pocket.
A Democratic legislature now compe1s
this money to be let to the highest
bidder by competitive bids, requiring
such bidder to furnish to the State
ample security for the money deposited
with him, and it was because of the
operation of this Democratic law, the
Treasurer received the interest for
which he is complimented in his party's
platform.
DEMOCRATS MADE LARGE INTEREST
POSSIBLE.
As the State grows in wealth and
population, each succeeding Treasurer
will probably collect in interest more
than his predecessor, but the present
Treasurer has been fortunate in this,
that a Democratic Auditor, aided by a
Democratic United States Senator, col
lected $475,ooo.oo from the general gov
eminent, which remains ~unexpended in
the treasury of the State, and $780,
10000 more drawn from the foreign in
surance fund was by an oversight left
for two years undistributed, thus add
ing to the fund on which interest was
drawn. 1t is well, too, in order to show
the distinction between Republican and
Democratic methods, to remember that
u -L.
for many years the Democratic party
has sought to compel the general gov
ernment to follow a similar method in
depositing the nations funds. But this
is still one of the assets of the Repub-
lican party, and the Secretary of the
Treasury places the governments hun
dreds of millions with his favored
friends, and never a dollar Of interest
is paid upon such deposits.
THE OLD REPUBLICAN, WAY.
Under Republican rule in Missouri
the Secretary of State put into his
pocket all the fees of the office.
+ Again, a Democratic Legislature, look
ing after the interests of the people,
and not the yofficeholders, passed laws
compelling him to account to the Treas
ury for every dollar SO received, and
! the Republican platform again prides
itself Upon the fact that a Republican
!. Secretary of State had obeyed this
. Democratic law.
But no plank in all their platform is
more boastful and less truthful thar
the one which recounts the perform
ances Of the present Attorney-G General
and nominee for Governor.

Sedalia, Mo-, Sept. rs, 1908.

The Democratic State campaign was
formally opened here today by public
speaking, marching clubs, bands, hre
works and a demonstration never be-
fore witnessed in this city. Special
trains brought citizens and Democratic
clubs from a hundred miles around,
and the streets have been crowded with
pushing, shouting throngs.
Hon. William S. Cowherd, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, re-
ceiyed a magnificent ovation as he de-
l;vered the formal opening speech Of
the campaign that will be waged with
great vigor by the Democrats from now
until the day of the general election.
He spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Missouri Demo
Gratis:
I want at the outset to express my
anpreciation of the high honor the
democracy of this State has bestowed
upon me by selecting me as its candi-
date for Governor.
To those devoted friends who SO
ably and so generously assisted me IN
the late primary campaign, | return
here nv sincerest thanks. To those
Democrats who, exercising their right
of selection, preferred other candi-
dates. | say now that the primary IS
over. and the will Of the party has
been announced, let us bury all pass
differences and go forward as m solid
nhajanx to meet the common toe.
We are beginning here the campaign
for the control of the destinies OF MIS-
souri, for the next four years, and prop,
ABLY for many years thereafter.
Encouraged by their success in 1904
when they not only carried the STATE
for the Republican national ticket, Du
elected all State officers excepting th'
Governor, the Republican party Il
claiming that Missouri is 10y in thu
doubtful column, and the story ma.
rome forth that their national commit
tee has already begun to pour theil
treasure into the State and later vii
send here their noted orators, hoping
TO persuade those whom money canno
purchase.

Separate schools for the negro race
have been provided, and Lincoln In
stitute gives to them likewise the op-
%portunity for higher education. At
n cost, Democracy will always de-
mand a separation of the races in the
school room, and never can any man
hold office in this State who does not
stand for that policy.
For many years patrons of our pub
lie schools have felt they were I'M
justly burdened by the exactions of
the school book trust. 1t should be
one Of the first duties of the coming
Legislature to devise some method
whereby common school text books
may be furnished free. and Others at
the lowest possible cost, keeping all
ways in mind the necessity of giving

GREAT FRUIT CROP.
Reports Indicate That This VIII
BE the Bumper Year for State
OF Washington.

Reports received by c. A. Tonne
son, editor of the Northwest Horti-
culturist, indicate that Washington
will this year have record-smashing
crops OF apples, peaches, pears and
probably apricots. Owing to the
backwardness of the season in west
ern Washington the berry crop has
this year been later than for a long
time, but Mr.. Tonneson says that
Notwithstanding the cold and pro-
tracted spring, there was notable
exception of killing frosts. The
cherry crop has not shared in the
good fortune of other fruits, the late
spring causing a portion of the
cherries to fall off green. Peaches,
apples and pears, however, in the
heavy fruit-producing areas of east
ern Washington are showing lavish
promise of making a great crop.
Mr.. Tonneson says the steady eX-
pansion of the orchard area Of the
state in the Last few Years is one OF
the industrial features the import
ance of which is not realized
"The past few years Of fruit grow
ing in Washington. Oregon, and
Idaho have conclusively demon
strated" aid he, "to every observing
horticulturist that the northwest Is
the apple country of the United
States, and for that matter North
America. Within 90 years the or
chards and apples Of Washington
will be famous all over the country"

Carrying an immense head Of irli-
cation water, the great Sunnysile
canal was flooded Monday night By
the heavy rainfall, broke from it's
banks and created havoc in the
ranch section between Sunnyside and
Grandview. The principal damage
was on the Sunnyside ranch, reports
from that point indicating that the
large ranch house was nearly washed
away and is now insecure on ITS
foundations.
Huge sullies have been washed
across the fields and there was dam-
age that is immense to the crops.
As quickly as possible the water was
shut off at the head gates, fully thir-
ty-hve miles from the break. but the
damage had ALREADY been done.

Hemp Cultivation to Be Attempted.

As a result of communication from the United States Department of Agri culture, in which it was stated that the cultivation of hemp in Arkansas is feasible, it is practically assured that the Penitentary Board will take steps to have the plant grown as an experiment, and if this experiment proves that the fibre can be grown on a commercial scale, the cultivation of hemp will be extensively assumed and the product used for the manufac- ture of cotton bagging for use on the state farm. The Penisentiary Board has long been of the opinion that fiber for this bagging should be produced on the state farm.
