Why not quit raising scrub
corn9 Why not plant enough pure
bred seed this spring to supply
you for the futureY There is as
much difference between scrub"
corn and pure bred corn as there
is between a scrub" steer and
a pure bred steer. Pure bred
corn will produce a much larger
yield per ace than ordinary seed.
Until further notice the FAR
MER and BREEDER, published
at Columbia, Mo-, will give away
free a quart of pure bred seed
corn with every new ~subscrip-
ton A quart will plant a quarter
of an acre and give you all the
pure seed you need for future
use. The Farmer and Breeder
is a big monthly and costs only
so cents per year. 1t is published
in the home of Missouri's great

Mr.. Billings several better, finds
one, of the creatures every little

The latest "damphool, ac-
cording to our way of thinking
halls from Montgomery City, No.
He is DR.. David O. Hudson, and
he broke into print a day or two
ago with the statement that "all
hopeless insane or imbecilic per-
sons should be poisoned" He
suggested details, and offered
prussis acid as the agency by
which his proposed victims should
be helped into eternity.
He is said to have stirred up
"a veritable hornets nest" as a
result of his doctrine, and he has
promised further utterances, in
which he will give additional de-
tails of his plan.
We have an idea that hornets
nests must be pretty accessible in
Montgomery City, if one can be
stirred up SO easily. 1t strikes us
that DR.. Hudson is merely a
"damphool." The "damphool, "
we take it, is a person who has

NEW CAPITOL BUILDING
Some Reasons Why the Consti.
tutional Amendment Should
be Adopted.

NC AuOpbeu.
Because it is universally adj
mitted that Missouri needs a new
capitol building,
The present building is more
than seventy years old, having
been erected in 1888.
1t is not fire-proof nor suited
to the States present needs.
A new capitol building can be
erected under the proposed con-
stitutional amendment with
out increasing the taxes.
No citizen will be required to
pay any more taxes than he now
pays if the constitutional amend
ment to build a new capitol is
adopted.
Why9 Because the payment OF
the interest and bonds is provid,
ed for out of the general revenue
within the next thirty years.
generation-the third of a cen.
tury. The interest on the daily
balances received by the STATE
for the money held by the var,
ious bank depositaries for tn,
State will pay the interest on the
bonds to be issued under this
amendment, and in a few years
with our increased revenues, sucl
interest will more than pay it
besides the cash received from
the sale of the bonds will produc,
on daily balances, almost interes'
sufficient to meet the interest OF
the bonds, as only a portion of i
will be needed yearly for tht
building. After ten years tn,
State may, if it is advisable, SCI
aside such sum annually as may
be proper for the redemption o.
the bonds within the next thirty
years. .
If Missouri can secure a new
%up-to-date, safe and fire-proo
capitol building without any ad
ditional taxation-without an,
additional cost to the people
should she not have it?
Missouri having over three mil
lion population, ranks as the fit
State in the Union, but is tn
first in resources; should no
its capitol building correspond
with its wealth and standing
Yet she occupies the most back
ward position, as to her capitol
of any of the States in the cen
trail west. A new capitol building
would attract more attention t
Missouri and induce more imm.
grafton than any other thing on
people could do. 1t would be tn
greatest financial investment on
people could make.
If any citizen could have
home built for him without il
creasing his monthly or annu'
rental in paying for it, would h
not be wise to secure the hOme9
: If the State can erect a ne
capitol building and pay for
in the next thirty years, withou

win receive, besides the needful
accommodation for State business
is it not wise to take advantage
Of the opportunity
The land records containing
the original and only plats, sur
veyS and conveyances of the land
of Missouri were given to the
State by the United States gov
eminent, with the express condi-
ton that they should be sacred
ly kept in a fire-prOof vault yet
these records, which affect the
title to millions of acres of land
in our State, are now, and have
been, all these years, lying in the
basement of the capitol, exposed
to fire, dampness and dust, and
are in great danger of being de-
stroyed, and if destroyed, could
never be replaced, and their loss
could never be estimated.
Other records equally valuable,
are without protection, and can
have none in the present capitol.
The basement is full of state pub
locations and volumes of books
out of print which it would cost
hundreds of thousands of dollars
to reproduce if the remaining
copies were destroyed.
The standing, greatness, wealth
pride, grandeur and resources of
Missouri demand a new capitol
building. 1t should be a fire-proof
structure. There are no fire-proof
vaults in the resent building.
Long before a new capitol can
be completed the furnishings Of
the present building viii be worn
out and valueless. Eeight to ten
years is the shortest time within
which a new building could be
completed and occupied after il
is commenced.
The present building is INSULT
cient in office room, lacking IL
fire-proof vaults for the safe
keeping of valuable records, anC
without proper ventilation fol
the health and comfort of its oc.
cupants. The legislative halls are
too hot or too cold, and the con
sequence is that at every session
of the legislature sickness anC
sometimes death, result from Thu
condition.
The proposition should be look
ed at from the view point of tn,
necessities, demands and impor
lance of the State.
Jealousies, prejudices and in
difference should not enter int
this proposition, but all citizen
should unite in a demand for
new capitol for the greatest Stat
in the Union.

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Race For Governor to be Very Lively
Some of the Probable Candidates.

Columbia March SIN the lobbies
of the Columbia hotels, where a good
deal of South Carolina history is made
by the way, they are beginning to
align the candidates for governor
having about dropped the question Of
who shall succeed Senator Tillman
since it has been announced by the
senator's son Henry, that the Pitcn.
fork Stat t'srlnu has no idea cf resig:.-
ing.
One of the professional dispensers
of political dope was lining cut the
field this way las! night:
"If the probibitionists had united
so'Lily on Featherstone, as |: once
seemed likely they would, they could
baVA elected their man in a walk; in
fact, they could elect anybody they
wanted If they would but get together.
But now Jno. G.. Richards is a candidate
and of course he pulls a lot of voters
that would have gone to Featherstone.
Blease is going to poll a fairly heavy
vote, but hardly any more in proper
ton to the field than he did before.
Mcleod is going to poll a big vote on
the score of personal popularity-and
then also his local-option platform is
attractive to many citizens. Mr.. R. I.
Manning is going to have a big fol-
lowing, and he, too, will likely run on
local-option platform. I don't think
1t likely that Speaker Whaley will run
for governor, though he may offer for
liuetenant governor. Mr.. F. H. Hyatt
Of Columbia Is threatening to run.
But I figure it is a race for just four
men-Manning, Mcleod. Richards
and Featherstone-and that it is pref
ty likely to narrow down into a ques-
ton simply Of personal popularity in
which case Manning would seem 20
have a shade the best of his compel
itors."
All Of which, of course, is pure
dope; but one hears good deal more
about personalities just now than
about platform. Prohibition is not
the burning issue that it was, though
you will find Mr.. Featherstone just as
strongly supported as ever by the old
line church prohibitionists. It is to be
noted. too, that there is a prohibition
candidate out for lieutenant governor
Mr.. G. A. Smith.

BERKELEY SHORTAGE CASE.
Attorney General Lyon Appears in
Suit Against Bond of County Treas

Columbia, March 8.-Attorney Gen.
eral Lyon went to Monck's Corner
yesterday to appear for the State in
the case against the bondsmen Of Jno
o. Edwards for the recovery Of the
sum Of $5,070.45. Edwards, a former
county treasurer of Berkeley, was
found short in his accounts to the ex-
tent Of $5,070.45 by Comptroller Gen.,
eral Jones. He was subsequently re-
moved by Gov. Ansel and successor
appointed. He was under a bond of
$4,000. The bondsmen refused to
pay the shortage and suit has been in
stituted.
The bondsmen in their answer to
the complaint charge that the comp
troller general, the county auditor.
and the grand jury failed to make an
nual inspections of the books of Mr..
Edwards and If the inspections had
been made that the shortage would
not have occurred under the time Of
the bond in question. The case will
