The Democratic State Commit
tee had a meeeiDg in St. Louis one
day last week, but the members
did not get together in the spirit
of brotherly love. The same old
division of the ''Old Guard' and
the Folk factions were each trying
to cop an advantage from the
other. About the only note that
was sounded was that something
had to be done 'sto take Missouri
from under the stigma of having a
Republican Governor and United
States Senator" This was the in
spring sentiment prevalent at the
meeting. There was no mention
made that the people might hope
for better Democratic party in
Missouri in the future than they
had in the past. They held out
no hope that there was the least
desire in the party to change the
methods that wrought its down
fall, no thought of party honesty
and a clean ballot box was uttered,
no regret for the 81, 900 bill scan
dals or selling out the rights of the
people to the corporations; no,
nothing of the kind was intimated
as might have been expected, only
visions of getting back at the pub
lie trough were before them, and
the voters will be invited to return
them there on the odorous
strength Of the party's old record.

Talks Ont Of School.

Trust a Democratic editor to tel
the truth about his own party in
Missouri when he writes about
harmony" Here is a aample Of
simple truth from the Cass County
Democrat:
'sThere is nothing that more
widely separates the Republican
and Democratic parties than the
fact that the former swallows
whole the ideas of it's leaders; the
rank and file of the latter think
for themselves. Democrats will
fight for what they think is right
if they have to carry the battle on
in their own camp.
eyes. Republican leaders, being
intelligent, patriotic and practical,
suggest proper achievements for
their party; and Republican voters,
equally intelligent and patriotic,
accept their suggestions; and the
next thing that happens is the sue
cessful operations of the suggest
ions offered.
Democratic leaders have moth.
ing practical to suggest. What
they do suggest in lieu of some
thing practical always invites an
expression of individual opinion
on the part of other leaders, and
the result is party strife. Demo-
Gratis do not have the habit of
thinking for themselves, however.
If they should do so the Republi
can party would multiply so rapid
ly there would be no Democratic
party. When Democrat can
be induced to think for himself,
and is provided with the facts nec-
essary to a sensible conclusion he
is apt to think himself right into
the Republican party: Thousands
of thoughtful men who now vote
the Republican ticket in Missouri
have had that experience"

The Issue in Missouri.

Whatever the Democrats may
plan for the coming campaign the
paramount issue to be presented to
the people by Republican leaders
will be approval of the administra-
tion and policies of Governor Had.
ley. This will naturally make the
governor the Republican leader,
and will direct the thought of the
people to the policies and achieve
ments of his administration. While
the Republicans will nominate a
strong candidate for United States
Senator, they will be in the cam
paign to elect the legislature and
the nominees of the party for rail-
road and warehouse commissioner,
superintendent of schools and su-
preme judge, and to elect a larger
representation in congress. The
election of legislature pledged to
the policies of the present state ad-
ministration and to the further
progress of good government for
the state will be the chief end in
view, for if a Republican legisla.
ture is elected the Republican nom
inee for senator will be elected.
The Republicans will not be di-
vided and disturbed by factional
controversies. The party will be
organized for victory all along the
line. The defeat of any man the
Democrats may nominate for
United States senator will natural
ly follow the election of a Repub.
lican majority in the legislature.
The present state administration is
on trial before the people, and
ready to render an account Of
stewardship. The appeal will be
to the people, not to the politicians.
1t remains for Missouri voters to
pass, primarily, on the policies
and performances of the state ad-
ministration. No issue can be in
iected into the campaign which
will ovsrshadow that.

A New Attack On Bryan.

Says the Houston Post: "Mr.
Bryan has commenced campaign
for free raw materials as Demo
cratic policy, and if he conducts it
with his accustomed energy he is
likely to succeed in bringing a con-
dition in the Democratic party
that may possibly render it un-
necessary to make nominations in
1912" Many of the other Texas
papers are also attacking Bryan
on the same line. These include
the enemies as we'll as the friends
of Senator Bailey. Throughout
large part of the South, Bryan is
being assailed on this issue. Bail
ey, Daniel, McEnery and others of
the Democratic leaders in that Sec
ton are attacking him. The West,
too, is condemning him for his
course, as is seen by the remarks
of Senator Stone and other Demo-
cratic magnates in this section.
This FIRE in the rear on Bryan
comes at time when some of the
Democratic chieftains are telling
their party that it must make an
issue Of the tariff in 1910. Repre-
sentative Lloyd of Missouri, the
chairman of the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee,
is reported to be against any men
tion of the tariff in the canvass a
year hence, and some of the older
heads of the party stand with him
on that point. They are likely to
prevail. The Democrats are in no
shape to take up the tariff in 1910.
The memory of the split in their
party on that question in the ses-
sion of Congress recently ended
will be too fresh at that time to
permit the Democrats to get any
votes out of it.
The truth is that the tariff. if
Mr.. Bryan persists in bringing it
forward. is likely to become more
explosive than silver proved to be
In 1896. It will split the Demo
cracy nearer the middle than that
question did. Bryan is courage
ous and popular, but these quail
ties stand chance TO injure his
party 10 1910 and 1919, il hs sue.

President Taft took up the s'Bie
Stick" the other day and gave the
railroads and corporations a whach
with almost as much lusty vigor as
his predecessor used to WELD il
against the predatory incursion OF
organized wealth. 1t was also
only a few days ago that Speaker
Cannon derided Wall Street and
banking interests generally in their
clamor for financial legislation for
their own benefit. The Speaker
denominated these interests as hav-
ing an exaggerated idea of their
own Importance against the mag
nitude of the interests Of the
united population of the country.
Mr.. Cannon is himself interested
in banks and is rated as a million
aire several times over. Now
what has caused both the President
and the Speaker to break forth in
this manner, was il simply for the
purpose of making a little "grand.
stand" play in politics in an off

Mr.. Taft and Uncle Joe have their
ears to the ground and hear the
rumbling of movement among
the people that means changed
aspect in the machinery of our
political economy within the next
few years.
They have interpreted this rum
bling in it's true meaning, that the
people are waking up to the fact
that they will not require instruc-
tions and dictations from Wall
Street in their affairs much longer,
that the government belongs to
the people and that the interests of
the latter rise above and must take
precedence of all other interests.
Wall street shall not own the gov
the railroads shall not
own it, nor shall any interest con-
trolled by man or set OF men
dominate and exploit human
energy to their selfish ends to ab-
sorb of the fruits of the labor Of
the masses. The multi millionaire
is going to become shame before
long; his piled up wealth is going
to 60 back to the people from
whom it was taken by the way of
income and Inheritance taxes.

the tariff along the whole line.
This would make the situation easy
for the Republicans. Therefore
the Republicans are patting him
on the back, and telling him to

Good Roads and Farm Values.

The Louisville Courier Journal
tells an interesting story of how
good roads pay the farmers of the
South. In Sullivan County, Tenn. :,
they are building turnpikes where
once they had common roads. A
farm, located near one of these
pixies, sold recently for $4,000.
Before the pike was buiIded the
most money offered for the same
farm was 81, 200. 1t would be in.
teresting to know just how much
the building of that good road cosl
the owner of the farm in question.
If we had this information we
could arrive at a definite under
standing as to just what dividend
investments in good roads will pay.
1t is safe to say, however, that it
did not cost one tenth part of the
increased value of the farm. 1t
would appear that farmers, who
read such stories as the one from
Sullivan County, would insist on
making a similar investment. The
trouble in this State seems to be
that farmers do not really under
stand the true value of good roads
past their farms. That they are
able to build good roads is not de-
MED. No class of our citizenship
are more prosperous and have
more ready money with which to
invest in the comforts of life. It
would seem, therefore, that all
that would be necessary to interest
them in road building would be to
convince them that such invest
ments pay enormous dividends.
The great trouble with the mud
road proposition is that it shuts the
farmer out from the world for at
least four months of the year. And
these four months come at the very
time when the things he has to sell
bring the most money on the mar
ket. There is short supply of
farm products 10 the city during
these months because the roads
are so bad the farmer cannot 90 to
town. If, therefore, he builds a
road which will make it possible
for him to deliver his products
whenever he wants to, the increas-
ed price ho will receive for those
products will in n few years pay
for his road, to say nothing of the
comfort he has enjoyed by reason
of It's having been builded. There
isn't any argument against road
building that ought to induce the
average farmer to let conditions
remain as they are totlay.-St.
Joseph Gazette.

From an Indian squaw, smelling
galena by the pound in hole on
a hillside, to a shift of men with q
battery of SaIvsburg roasting pots
and modern furnaces, turning con.
centrates into pig lead by the ton,
is a long step, but that is the pro-

furnaces were set up for the smelt.

The Chawanon Indians, who
were occupants of this territory,
soon learned that the French
traders would barter at good
prices for metallic lead, and their
squaws, according to the usual
procedure where manual labor was
involved, were set about the task
OF smelling the galena. Z
''Their methods wero crude in
the extreme" says Mr.. W. P.
Thompson, president of the Nation
al Lead Company, in an article
for the last edition of the
Ency clopedia Americana. 'Their
plant" he continues, consisted
usually of small hole dug in the
ground and lined with rocks.
This was usually located on
hillside, both for the purpose of
a strong air. draft and also
ln order that a small tunnel con-
necting with the bottom of the
furnace hole might be dug, through i,
which the molten lead could be run
of when the galena and fuel were
thrown in and fred.
