money has been expended other than
the fact there has been built up a
magnificent educational system that
is and ought to be the pride of every
loyal Missourian. believe that every
dollar taken in taxation from the
people should be economically used
and that not cent more should be

istration of the states affairs, hand
led in the most economical manner.
But do denounce this assault upon
higher education in Missouri, and
especially denounce the claim that
it is made for the benft of the com
mon schools. Every thoughtful man
knows that it the common school is
to be maintained, at its highest point
of efficiency, if its standard is to be
improved as the years go on, that
there must go forth yearly from the
normals and the university a higher
class of the men, educated men and
women trained by years of study to
take their places in the country
schools. And if these normals and
the university are to be destroyed,
then the only way we will have tC
get competent teachers for ouI
country and our common schools,
will he to import them from from vtthiei vtthiei
states. Win any loyal Missouriar
be misled by such a policy?
Mr.. Ball has said he does not in
tend to destroy these higher institu
tions, but has been quoted as saying
he would appropriate all the none,
needed for the common schools, an,
if any was left over, we then NIGH
see what we could do for the normal
and the university. Why does h
not announce a definite policy! Doe

Wandered from Home.

Boss stapleton, a son of Andrew
Stapleton, who lives south of town,
became violently insane Monday
and wandered away from home. For
a number of years he has been con.
sidered irresponsible but harmless
and has lived at his fathers house.
Monday mis- father as soon as his
absence was discovered traced him
and found him walking on the rail-
road track between Lexington and
Halls, but was unable to do anything
with him, Mr. Stapleton then came
to town and communicated with the
officers.
In the afternoon the insane man
was reported to be in the neighbor-
hood of the Catholic cemetery, and
Deputy Sheriff Jack Bryant and
Officer Gaffin went after him. 1t
was with considerable difficulty that
they got him to town, as he offered
violent resistance.
Mr.. GafTin put him in the city pri.
son where he viii remain until the
county court can meet and order him
to an asylum.

Death Of Mrs. O,Malley.

Died, Monday afternoon at 8 O'Clock
at her home on 4th street of old age,
Mrs. Anne o'Malley, a pioneer res
ident of Lexington.
Mrs. Anne o'Malley was born in
Ludberg, Ireland, in 1921 and was 81
years of age. Her maiden name was
Anne Brady. She came to this
country at an early age and has been
a resident of this city for many
years. She was good woman and a
devout member of the Catholic
church.
The funeral was held from the
Catholic church at O'Clock Thurs

year, not by attempting to deny the
privilege of supporting him to those
who heretofore have different from
us, but by throwing wide the party's
doors, and bidding welcome to every
man willing this year to join in the
party's fight.
Rolla Wells was the regular NOM
inee Of the Democratic party Of st.
Louis. His election was protest
against the corrupt elements that
had dominated the Republican gov
ernment that proceeded his. The
good people of st. Louis supported
him almost without regard to party,
and the proof the wisdom of their
judgement IS shown by the fact that
when Mr.. Balls candidate, Meri-
wether, ran against Rolla Wells for
his second term, he received 5000
votes and the vast majority of those
were Socialists, and not Democrats.
If, therefore, Mr.. Ball can find any
especial pleasure intact that he went
from his own home down as volun-
teer to defeat the Democratic ticket
in St. Louis in 1901, l leave to him a
monopoly Of such boastings.
THE ATTACK ON HIGHER EDUCATION.
BIT Mr.. Ball makes, as the partic
uiar feature Of his campaign, an as
sault upon the normal schools and
the university Of the state, and says
that heis doing this as the friend OF
the common school,

pay the entire cost of the mainte-
nance of the common schools out of
the state treasury? If so, we must
double and treble and quadruple the
state taxes and still not have enough
to meet the needs of education in the
country districts.
If he took away from the normals
and the university every dollar APP
propriated to them out of the treas
ury of the state, he would have only
about $40 per year to the appropria-
tion for each country school. In other
words, he would destroy all opportu-
nifty of the poor boy to obtain an ed
cation in Missouri, destroy all chances
of the country school to obtain COM
petent and efficient teachers, in
order to pay the salary Of the teach
er OF the district school for one adj
ditional week.
