The Teachers.

The teachers knew that they were
not pleased. but did not seem to
know what the trouble was. and as
we could not give them the infor-
nation. Monday we hunted up 7. j.
Sharp, clerk of the school board,
and through his courtesy and the
records of enumeration of children
of school age. found: In 1905 there
were 500: 1905. 53S; 1907, 545. and
in 1908 only All; showing a clear
loss of 122 children of school age in
three years.
We also cleaned this piece of in
formation from Mr.. Sharp: There
are only one half $50 instead Of
1000 as many negro children of
school age in this city as there
were three years ago.

Jury trials for crime are an in

the courts largely under Mr.. Taft's

i work abroeating that institution

ing it by means of a transparent
subterfuee Having issued orders
forbidding, criminal acts by work
inemen N connection with strikes,
they convict and punish strikers
without trial by jury. on pretence
that the conviction and punishment
are for violation of the courts order
and MOTOR crime. To do this is
evidently to abolish the right Of

Democrats Offer Guarantee.
The Democratic party in offer
-ng guaranty system proceeds on
he theory it is better to encourage
oeopleto put their money into the
.ocal banks by making deposits in
thosefocal banks absolutely safe.
The Republican program would de-
stroy the smaller banks by gather
ering the savings of the people into
the Postoffice Department, thence
to be poured into the Golfers of the
big and the favored banks.
Under the postal bank system
uncounted millions would be at the
service Of the Government and
would be sought by such banks as
the National City or Standard Oil
Bank of New York or the First Ma
tional Bank of Chicago.
The value of that line which the
big banks puts on their stationery,
United State Depository" would
become enormously more valuable,
and the little banks which are close
to the people and therefore serve
the people best, would be driven
out of existence.
The great bankers oppose the
guaranty because they know il
would be an encouragement and
the very breath of life to the small
banks. They applaud postal saw
ings banks because they see clearly
the money deposited with the Post
master would ultimately end up il
their Golfers. Willis j. Abbott.

COMPLETE REPLY
DemOcrscy's Position On Pure EIec-
tons In Contrast With Repub-
leans Policy.

The following from the. Demo
cratic platform is a complete reply
to what the Republican press has
been giving the people:
The Democratic party favors the
fairest and fullest expression of the
voters at the polls, and pledges an
earnest and sincere purpose to pro-
tect the integrity of the ballot. In
accord with this high purpose, the
Democratic party has given the
State an absolutely impartial cleo
ton law under the provisions Of
which the Republicans have equal
representation with the Democrats
in judges and clerks at each polling
place in the State; every possible
safeguard is provided for the pre-
vention of fraud and for the secrecy
of the ballot of the honest voter,
and drastic penalties prescribed for
the punishment of those who vio-
late the law. No fraud can be per-
petrated without the consent and
connivance of the judges and clerks
of both parties appointed upon the
recommendation of their respective
committees. If, in spite of the safe
guards, fraud is perpetrated at any
election or primary, the Democratic
party favors the amendment of the
law so that the ballot boxes may be
opened if necessary to the success
full prosecution and conviction of
those who violate its provisions,
and we demand the vigorous prose-
cution of all violators of the law
without fear or favor or hope of
mere partisan advantage.
In striking contrast with this fair
and impartial Democratic law is the
brutal record of the Republican
party leaders when in power in this
State, when they not only refused
Democrats representation in judges
and clerks. but for purely partisan
advantage deprived General Frank
P. Blair and thousands of other
honest, law-abiding and loyal citi-
zens of the State of the right to
vote, and, in order to defeat the
honestly expressed will of the peo-
pie, burned the ballots which their
own judges and clerks had accepted
as legal, for the purpose of giving
to Republicans the offices to which
Democrats were fairly elected.
We denounce the insincere pre-
tense of the Republican press ant
Republican party leaders in theil
loud and false clamor for fair cleo
tons. We gladly challenge com
parison of the records of the, tw'
leading parties of Missouri on thi
important issue.
We condemn the action of tn
Republican party bosses in their Ell
fort to nullify the primary law il
this State by fixing the State ticke
: IN secret caucus in advance of tn
primary election.
We favor an amendment to tn
primary law prohibiting the men
bers of one party from participatin
in the nomination of the candidate
of another. From the platoon
adopted by the Democratic Stat
Convention.

LIQUOR FOR "DRY" TOWNS.

In the Roanoke liquor cases, involving
the refusal of the Southern Express Com
pany to handle liquor consigned to
Roanoke shippers to parties In ''drg"
towns on the line of the Norfolk and
Western railroad and in which an appeal
was made t. the Ststs Corporation Com
mission, il was decided yetsrday that
the ordinances OF the dry" towns we're
ineffective and that the express COM
psny, under the general law, is required
to transport liquor legally sold to
Gust lmtrs in such towns.
The express company is commanded
to accept from licensed retail dealers oil
Roanoke and from all others similarly
s,tuRt I'd all intoxicating liquors lawfully
sold and TO transport them to "dry"
towns aud deliver them to the conSignees.
1t appears from the ruling of the
commission that a distinction is made
bet geen retail dealers on one hand
and distillers and manufacturers on
the other, IS the two Aforementioned
classes sre forbidden t. ship, while
the ordinances are valid as to the re-
