address before the County Clerks
Convention Mt jefferson City last
week, touched upon this trend of
extravaganza in State government
in the following treuchant criticism:
The annual revenues of the
State of Missouri are more than
- 900, 600. 1t does seem thai the
business of this State should be
transacted with that amount and Il
goodIy balance left. Economy
must he practiced in public affairs.
For many years we transacted the
State business with less revenue,
and at the same time paid off aud
discharged an Indebtedness, prin
cipaI and interest. of about forty
millions OF dollars.
If the revenues were sufficient
then, they certainly should be suf-
iccnt now, especially when the
assessments of the State
have increased many millions of
dollars, aud when the assessment
of public service corporations has
been doubled and thribbled.
The citizens pay the taxes sup
porting our institutions and the
executive department of the State
government. Somehow. AS the |
revenues grow, the expenses, with |

duty of the citizen to see that some

REPUBLICAN WASTE.

The Republican party has little
understanding of the principle Of
government economically admins
tered. Its idea seems at all times
to be how to increase the revenue
and to discover new methods Of
taxing the people and spending
the money, instead of how to cut
down expenses. We have as a re-
suit multiplication of useless
oflice-hOlders, commissions with
big salaries, billion dollar Con
crosses, extravaganza and waste,
higher taxes and cost of living.
The Republican Executive of our
State started into Office with this
same idea of extravaganza. Al.
most the first demand of Gov.
Hadley was for more revenue. The
State Constitution forbade a higher
rate of taxation, SO he wanted to
raise the assessment on real estate.
1t has for years been about one
third to e-half the estimated
cash value; he would have placed
the assessment at full cash value,
thus doubling or trebling the taxes,
in order to meet ordinary existing
public expenses and Others to be
created, inspecting hotel bed sheets,
etc. 1t seems to be a Republican
policy to be always increasing
taxes instead of giving more at
tention to economizing in public
affairs.

 The twenty eighth of May was the day toward which we had looked for whole year. Not because we wished to discontinue our labors but because on this day we would pause and see the finished product ofa years work and in our achievement see how wonderfully God has blessed the effort of our school, and inseeing be able so to plan, that the com ing year be far better than any that have gone before.
 For weeks there had been in- tense application in all depart ments, that the assigned work might be completed and the spe- cial exhibit work ready for the closing day. It was with feel ing of intense satisfaction that as the day dawned most beauti- ful, we could say We are ready"
 Every thing was shipshape. It seemed as if every thing had the same spirit of enthusiasm.
 The grass in the front yard and the flower beds could not have looked better, even the old buildings seemed to have heard of the coming new ones and as if making a last struggle for existance, seemed to hide their age and decay as never before.
 The morning was spent in the last preparations and at two o'clock the entire school was thrown open to the guests. In the Boys Building, the Teachers

Kitchen, the dormitories with their TOW of clean, orderly beds, the clothing and stock room with uniforms and other clothing placed and ready for use was a revelation tothose who had never before seen them. On the parade ground a two wheeled scraper and three wagons showed what kind of repair work the black smiths can do. In the Girls Building was the exhibit of the products of the various depart ments. A corner in the Child rens' Dining Hall was furnished as a living room in a home, every thing in the room being made in the school. There were tables from the tiniest of five o'clock teas to a massive mission one with chair to match, and several others of special design. Book cases, picture flames and other articles showed what the carpen- ters can do besides build houses.
 Of special interest was a pair of sheetmusic racks which appeared to be made of two pieces of board put together in some ineXplica- ble manner, but in reality was one piece ofboard cut in twoin a way that would not come apart.
 The window curtains and a table scarf in this room were the work of the sewing department. The main exhibit of sewing work was on a table near, much new and repair work and especially a United States flag made by hand from silk, showed the skill of the girls. This flag was beyond a doubt, the finest article in any exhibit. The Blacksmiths show ed an air tight stove of iron de- corated with brass. The shoe
