For Missouri Far Facts.


1t is probable that there will be
introduced at the present session OF
the Missouri legislature number
of bills affecting the agricultural in
terests of the state
One measure recommended by
the State Board of Agriculture and
which bill has been drawn by Geo.
B. Ellis, secretary of the board, is
that providing for state statistical
law similar to that now in force in
Kansas, Michigan and possibly
other states. This bill seeks to
make it the duty of the county as
SCISSORS to gather certain additional
statistic on dairying, poultry rails
ing and other agricultural interests
concerning which it has heretofore
been impossible to get definite and
reliable information. 1t is proposed
to have blanks provided as other
blanks are provided, but the form
to be one approved by the Board of
Agriculture. The assessors Of the
several counties, and the township
assessors in counties having town.
ship organization, will according to
the provisions of the bill, at the
time of making assessments OF real
and personal property, take a state
ment from each individual, firm or
corporation, these statements, show
ing, among other items, the follow
ing: Number Of acres cultivated in
the leading farm crops of the state,
the amount of each crop produced;
and statements of live stock, dairy
products poultry products and hor-
tiCultural products, with prices OF
same. Such statement is to be re-
turned by the assessor to the COun-
ty clerk at the time of returning
the assessment lists Of property and
the county clerk shall Immediately
forward The same to the secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture at
his Office, and a statement of same
shall be published in his annual re-
port or otherwise as he may direct.
Such a law would necesSitate
very little, if any, extra expense,
yet would be of almost inestimable
value in the work of gathering re-
liable data and in calling attention
to MisSouri's splendid and diversifi-
ed resources, matters in which the
4 state has heretofore been seriously
4 handicapped. Such a law would
y result in facts and figures, which
4 are always more impressive than
y the best Of gueSses or the most con
= sentative of estimates.
Missouri is a great state, and a
state statistical law, such as is nov
,e proposed, will serve to further i'm
Sc press this truth upon her own citi'

d. tion of others tO the fact

Once upon a time Theodore
Roosevelt wrote the Life of Oliver
Cromwell" and now some of Mr..
Roosevelt's republican friends are
quoting from that publication these
significant words: Had Cromwell
not become cursed with the love of
power, had he not acquired a die
tatorial habit of mind and the fatal
incapacity to acknowledge that
there might be righteousness in
other methods than his own, he
would certainly have avoided a
break with this parliament"

The Keytesville Courier, which

Gates of local option in the state,
does not think that law is being en-

should be, and in commenting on
the subject says; The local option
law as now in force in Charlton
county is a monumental farce, If
the county Jail is not filled up with
Illicit booze sellers within the next
few months there will be ample
grounds for belief that disregard fol
law has run riot in this county
The perjurer should also come III
for his share of attention in con

sent to the penitentiary."
