CHARGE REFUTED BY SWORN
STATEMENTS.

The Salem Monitor republishes
nm article which it first published
in August. 1850, reiterating what
it charged then, that Judge {. {,
Bland, then the Democratic nomi.
nee for Circuit Judge, now a can
didate for re. election rs Judge of
Court Of Appeals, made Il speech
in the State Of Georgia an done in
Salem, Mo, in which he used some
very bitter words against all Con.
federate soldiers and their wives.
We have been shown affidayits
by members of Judge Bland 5 com
pany, who heard the speeches in
question, and who on their oaths
state that every word of that
charge is false. The names of
these atlantis are T. j. Stanger,
James a. Edwards, W. Morris and
Edw. W. Fortune.
The editor of the Monitor was a
life long political enemy of the
late r. p. (Silver Dick Bland,
and has been and is now the polit-
zeal enemy Of Judge c. c. Bland.
1t is strange that at the elections
of 1880, 1856, 1892 and 1896,

him in Dent county at each Of

Why? Because he is one Of us,
and stands for the things that the
common man believes in and de-
sircs.
That he trains in the ranks Of the
"cummon people" is evidenced by
the fact that every railroad and
other big corporation in the State is
against him.
He does not believe in building
marble halls for Columbia at the
expense Of the "lttlc red houses"
Of the country districts. A contem-
porary well says:
"Therc are eight hundred thOus-
and children in the common schools
Of Missouri. There are but two
thousand in the State University,
and it takes just two hundred pro-
fcssors to teach the university stu
dents. The State Of Missouri, as n
state, cXpcnds Sl.30 apiece each year
on the children of the common
schools. 1t cXpcnds about two
hundred dollars year each on the
students of the university. We are
all, Of course, in favor of giving the
university fair and liberal support.
But as between the university and
the common schools, which do you
favor?
For the years 1923 the Legisla-
ture appropriated 81, 100000 to the
State UniVcrsity-ove half of the
amount given to all the common

HOW TO VOTE.

Don't try to mix your ticket ut
the primary election next Tues
day; it won't work. You can {
vote for Democrat by writing his
name on the Republican ticket,
and you can't vote for Repub-
llcan by writing his name on the
Democratic ticket. You can do
that in the general election, but
not in the primary to nominate
party candidates. II you should
vote for Republican by placing
his name on the Democratic ticket,
it would be counted simply as one
vote for him for the Democratic
nomination, and not ms one vote
for him for the Republican nomi.
nation. Aud if a Republican
should vote for Il Democrat by
placing his name on the Repub-
lican ticket, it will not help the
Democrat to get the nominotion;
the vote will simply be counted for
him AS one vote for the Republican
nomination. In short, if you 90
to scratching and mixing up the
ticket you vote, your vote won t
count anything for the Republican
name written on Democratic
ticket nor for the Democratic name
written on n Republican ticket.
Just take your own party ticket or
the ticket Of the party with which
You affiliate, draw pencil through
the names of the candidates you
do not want to vote for and leave
the names Of the candidates YOU do
want to vote for, one for each
office, and yam will comply with
the law.

AN ENJOYABLE RECEPTION.

On Tuesday afternoon and even
ing at the Southern Methodist par
sonage Rev. and Mrs. VIM. Court
received the members of the con
grcgation. The house was open for
the first time since the repairs were
made. A complete transformation
81 the home brought forth many en-
prcssions Of satisfaction as the
guests passed from room to room.
The study, dining room and re-
r"ption hall were thrown together,
making IN ideal place for social
gatherings. The walls are covered
with heavy paper in artistic designs,
the wood work is the best oak, high
ly polished, and the stairs leading
int" the reception hall are we'll fin
ished and Of modern architecture.
Large windows have been added
and II roomy porch has also been
built, making altogether very
comfortable and attractive home.
Other improvements will be com
pleted in the near future.
In tn. afternoon number of la
dies enjoyed the hospitality of Mr..
and Mrs. Court. The lawn was
lighted by japanese lanterns in the
evening, and the house, porch and
lawn were crowded. The Board Of
Stewards was present and received
their share Of congratulations for
the years success.
In receiving Mr.. and Mrs. Court
were assisted by Miss Trawick of
Nashville, Tenn, aud Misses Nellie
Pipkin and Alma Smith, both Of
whom leave soon for Mexico, where
they will teach in Mission Schools
Of the southern Methodist Church.
Misses DOss, Watson and Taylor,
served frappr in IN" dining room.
\ number of japanese articles,

JUDGE TAFT ACCEPTS.

Judge William H. Taft, RcpubIi
can nominee for President, was
duly and officially notified last
Tuesday at Cincinnati by Senator
William Warner of Missouri of the
action OF the Chicago Convention.
The theme OF the entire speech
of acceptance is his commitment
to the development of the policies
of President Roosevelt He re
views the various acts of Congress
passed on the recommendation of
the President; quotes extensively
from the various messages of the
President to the recent Congresses !;
claims that he and the Republican
party stands for that which is pro.
gressive and regulative, and as.
serts that the Democratic nominee,
Mr., Bryan, and the Democratic
party would destroy business. His
effort to commit himself and his
party to the physical valuation Of
the great public service corpora
tions doing an interstate business
may be construed to be either in
favor of the corporations or the
people, depending on which crowd
you are in. 1t is a trim
mers best effort in cOncealng the
true intention; and it is really
funny to read his announcement
concerning the labOring man and
the injunction.
Judge Taft made a first rate Re
publican stump speech. lie evaded
the Chicago platform; failed TO
mention any Of his former injuuc-
ton and contempt decisions; spent
the major portion of his 20, 900 and
odd words in denouncing William
J. Bryan, attacking the Denver
platform and lauding President
Roosevelt; and through it all is the
well defined and studded determi-
nation to inform the System
that it will be let alone for the
next four years. Wall Street and
predatory wealth need have no
fears of Taft, and the great army
Of wage earners will get cold com
fort from the Republican party if

'John l.. Bradley Of st. Francois
county was candidate for State
Auditor months before MIR. Long Of
Washington county thought Of
the race, and the latter was
brought out to defeat Bradley, ii
seems to many. Bradley had made
himself obnoxious to the railroads
and the big mine owners by his
ruUr," for the laboring men, and he
has been marked for defeat ever
since. But, ~ he was elected to the
lower house and then elevated to
tin" Senate and reelected by the
masses, it is II pretty good sign that
he is all right. There il every rca-
son why Dunklin county Democrats
should vote for Bradley and not one

ROOSENELT'S ARRANGEMENT

The Republican platform in its

criticisms of their decisions in some
fragrant cases. Now, what have
they to say Of President Roose.
