DEMOCRATS SPLIT
ON PROHIBITION
Southern and Northern Del
egationS at Variance on
Question.

The contest on the question Of plac-
ing a prohibition plank in the Demo-
cratic national platform threatens 10 be
the most spectacular feature in either
Of the national conventions this year.
The Republicans are not going TO have
a real tight on tariff or trusts; the Dem
ocrats will present only an imitation
OF a battle on the question of State VS..
Federal regulation of monopolies. But
the question OF putting a liquor plank
IN the Democratic platform is getting
serious.
Il is always true that the Southern
members Of the resolutions committee
have most to do with making the plat
form. while the Northern members have
most TO do with naming the candidates
at a Democratic convention. The South
ern members OF the coming convention
will be for liquor plank, but they will
realize that IL She party is to win it
must have the support of certain North
ern States, whose support will depend
more or less on the attitude toward
this question of the liberal element in
the North.
The Southern members. who are GER
tain TO be able 10 deliver their electoral
votes. will demand the prohibition
plank. The Northern members VIII op-
pose IL.

STORM WORKS HAVOC

CHICAGO. April 1s.-Death. destruc-
ton, terror. and discomfort were borne
into Chicago by a furious storm on the
lake.
Two men were drowned in sight OF the
shore OF Fashionable Sheridan Park;
seventy-five panic-sUricken passengers
mingled prayers with imprecations on
the steamer City Of Chicago. which was
broken and battered by the wind and
waves and forced TO return TO this

wrecked near Michigan City.

the first excursion trip Of the season

steamer Robert c. Wente was battling
with the elements on the eastern shore.

Reports now being received by Fourth

The authorization Of a S50,OOOOOO bond

course the most notable example. but
many other States have appropriate ed

MISSOURI STATE FAIR
II VIII Be the Largest Exhibition Ever Held
in the State.

The entries for the 1908 Missouri
State fair closed Saturday night, Sep
tember 26th. The entries in each de-
partment are more than twice as many
as they were last year, giving assur-
ance that the Missouri exhibition this
year will be the best and greatest in
the history OF the Missouri state fair
The entries OF live stock are especially
large, especially in sheep, horse and
cattle departments. There will not be
sufficient space in the sheep and swine
buildings TO accommodate all OF the
pens which will he at the fair for ex-
hibitiOn, and room will have to be pro.
vided for them elsewhere. All OF the
best herds aud pens Of live stock which
have been on exhibition at tic State
fairs in Ohio, Nebraska, Illinois ana
Wisconsin will be at the Missouri fair,
and the wonderful stock shows Of pre-
vious years will be entirely eclipsed at
Sedalia during the first week Of Oct
ober, Bird to 9th, inclusive.
There are two feature events which
are attracting state wide interest.
The first is the Missouri Futurity
races, races between Missouri bred 3-
year.old colts which were nominated
10 1905; the other is the Challenge
Stallion race between four Of the fast.

The entries in the different races at
the Missouri State fair are larger than

Pie supper IA Success.

The court room was liilCd to its scat.
iug capacity Saturday evening to listen
to the entertaining program, literary
and musical, prepared for the occasion,
aud to eat pic.
The musical numbers consisted Of sc.
lections by the band vocal solos by
Miss Poguc, Of the School Of the Ozarks,
and Mrs. d. f. McConkey, organ solos
by Miss Theresa Bcattic and Mise
Frances McCOnkey and three numbers
by the Forsy th orchestra.
Miss Wallace declaimcd in spirited
manner, THE Pillow Fight and
Prof j. a. Oliver read in very taxi
ing way Il humorous selection from
James Whitcomb Riley.
Just at the close Of the program Prof.
Robertson, Of the School Of the Ozarbs,
entered the room fresh from a drive
from Protein. He wasprompuy called,
and voiced Il touching appreciation
OF the beauti IS Of fancy county roads,
which no one doubted came from the
heart.
At the close OF the program the pics
were sold, II. Il. Aubrey acting as
auctioneer, and the bidding indicated
that most Of those present had ac-
quired the great American pic habit.
The evening was one OF enjoyment,
except the going home in the rain, and
the school library and Sunday school
funds were between niue and ten dol
lars TO the good.

Robbery OF School Children.

The Missouri constitution treats the
common school fund as a sacred ac-
cumulation Of money to become an en-.
dowment for education Of the children
Of the state. One OF the several sources
OF revenue devoted exclusively to that
fund by the constitution is the eschcutS
from estates not claimed by heirs with
in twenty years after their administra.
tion. Many estates are never claimed.
This money goes directly into the
school fund, and il is plain robbery to
divert it, yet the Fortieth General
Assembly, in which the Democrats had
large majority, passed bill taking
S3OOOO out OF that fund and putting it
in the general revenue fund to pay the
current expenses Of the state.
The act was clearly unconstitutional
and void, yet the Democratic fund COM
missioners the Governor, Auditor and
Secretary of State) made the transfer,
thus approving and completing Il de-
liborato robbery of the children Of the
state.
Every Republican but two voted
against the bill and every Democrat in
the legislature voted for it,
State Treasurer Gmelich laid all the
facts before the senate of the last
legislature and asked thai the money
be restored to the school fund. The
matter was referred to the Senate
Judiciary committee and was never
reported for action. Democratic sem
ators treated it as trining matter.
How will the honest people Of Mis-.
souri, treat it?
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1908-10-01
Simply follow the Law.

The present treasurer, an honest
Republican, has persistently refused
TO pay any claim upon a fund in which
there was no money, with the money
OF some other fund. The law directs
the treasurer not TO do so, yet Demo
cratic treasurer had hccn doing that
very thing for many years before Mr..
Gmelich' 5 election. They would pay
heavy drafts on one fund with money
from another, carrying the paid drafts
as cash in the vaults. Following that
colrsc, the treasury had but little
money at times on deposit in the banks
to earn interest BY simply following
the law Mr.. Gmclich has always had
large sums on hand on which the banks
OF deposit have paid interest. In that
way Mr.. Gmclich has made the money
OF the people earn enough while idle
TO pay all Of the salaries of State
officials. Ia that way he has demon.
stratcd that it pays the people to elect
good business men TO ollice-men who
cannot be controlled by political or
parti1au considerations.
Auditor Wilder has also followed
the law in refusing to draw warrants
on funds in which there was no money
to pay them. He has never cmbar.
raised the treasurer or violated his
own oath Of Office by trying to accom-
modale claimants who ought to wait
till their claims could be legally certi-
fed and paid. This course has made
some people mad, but it has shown
that Republican official can be trusted
to execute the law, not to suspend it,
as the Democratic auditors and
treasurers were in the habit of doing.

An Erroneous Idea Correcte,


Columbia, Mo, Septcm Der rs, 1908.
Dear Sir:
There is belief in some parts OF the
state that the road amendment for
state aid to road building, to be voted
upon this fall, is for the sole purpose
OF building the proposed cross.state
road between St Louis and Kansas
City. The idea is erroneous aud shoul d
be corrected.
The trainers OF this amendment did
not propose in it TO give the so called
''state roads" any more state aid than
to any other part of the state-no more
than TO an improvement in Mississippi
or Atchison counties only their pro-
pOrtionate share-no more nor no less.
The serS ices of this office are, and
have always been, free to all parts Of
the state alike, upon road, culvert and
bridge problems. We have not and do
not propose 70 make any-distinction be-
tween the different parts OF the state.
