1T WAS WORTH THE MONEY.

The election of Dix cost $32S,87O,
according to statement filed with
the secretary of state by the New
York Democratic state committee.
That is an admittedly large sum.
But the .election was worth the
money. The more you think about
it the palmer that becomes.
Just consider! Over three weeks
of strange and pleasing silence at
Oyster Bay. Not single eruption.
Not a suggestion of the old moral
patronizingness. Who shall say
that a trifle over hundred
thousand a week is too high for
that?
Not only that. AS result of
that election a great many Ameri-
cans who were apparently obsessed
by the idea that there was only
one real honest, manly able man in
the country have begun to suspect
that there are several others. Their
sudden education in this regard is
worth every cent it cost.
Then there's the matter of langu-
age. For three whole weeks the
public has not heard about anybody
in particular being liar, thief, mem
Der of bad trust, hired tool of
Wall street, or crook. Even this
slight period of moderation cannot
fail to react favorably on the lang
uage and manner of public speak
ers.
But it is only when we think of
how things would have been if Mr..
Dix hadn't been elected that we real
ize at what argain-counter rate
our present blessings were secured.
In fact, one almost has the feeling
that somebody took a mean advant-
age of somebody else in only paying
$32S,S70 for them.
Just imagine the hullabaloo and
the excitement and the special trains
and the indignation at everybody
for being guilty of something or
other and the dazing of business
which would have come had the
hermit of Oyster Bay received a
New York commission to be the
only honest man!
What insurance actuary would
have computed the premium on a
policy of indemnity in case of any
or all of these painful accidents at
less than double or even treble the
sum mentioned in the New York
state committees report? And what
accident insurance company would
have been willing to write the policy
and thus assume the risk even for
the increased sum?
Whatever the democrats of New
York, or of the nation. may find to
complain of in the management of
the campaign in the state, it will
obviously not relate to the total ex-
pense of electing Governor Dix. The
committee is plainly to he congratu-
lated for getting 50 much for so lit
tie money.--Chicago Inter-Gcean.

The meat trust representatives an
nounced a marked reduction in the
prices of meat. Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson says: "A permanent
decrease in the cost of living, so
far as meat is concerned, will be
brought about by the heavy growth
of corn and wheat. Prices have not
come down heretofore because the
farmers have not been feeding free
ly. Heretofore, farmers could not
feed freely because of the high
prices of cattle foods. Naturally,
the prices of meats become higher.
Now, however, corn is PLENTIFUL
wheat conditions are promising and
fodder is abundant. Cattle food is
both cheap and plentiful. The
markets are flooded with cattle and
will continuesto be as long as condi-
lions remain the same. The farm
ers have been. induced to send large
quantities of cattle to the market.
These cattle are fed properly and
the result is plainly seen-the de-
crease in meat prices"

President Taft has informed the
cabinet officers that after scrutiniz-
ing the final draft of the estimates
of the various government depart
ments for the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1911, there must be further
and deeper cuts in them. In re-
spouse to the urgent demands of the
president the heads of the various
departments have already held the
estimates to what they consider
rock bottom figures.

The fact that 120 representatives
in the next House never sat in Con-
gress before may prove a real gain.
If they know less about the methods
of pushing special claims and pri-

they may have more time to devote
to what is really public business.

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1910-05-05

This week another Pike county
colony, consisting of twenty-one
families. left Missouri for Canada.
Not that they had anything against
Missouri, but simply because Cana
da offers them better conditions
than the United States. Uncle Sam
permits trusts and corporations,
working through and behind a pro-
tective tariff, to plumber his SUBJ
jects; Canada does not. You can
buy a Mccormick reaper for $22
less in Canada than you can in
the United States. The plain Eng
fish of this is that Uncle Sam gives
the millionaire owners of the reaper
trust permission to put their hand
into the pocket of the farmer and
steal $22 of his money. We can
buy the Canadian linotype for $1,000
less money than the MorgenthaIer
trust will sell their machine for; we
can also buy news print paper for
500 per ton less in Canada than in
the United States the difference is
the highwayman's booty which I'm
Gle Sam extracts from the rockets

Sentence Sermons.

New truth comes through obedi-
ence to old.
Do nothing is learning to do
wrong.
No man is brave until he has
faced ridicule.
In some churches cold facts
would make a hot sermon.
A store of Impractical piety in
the heart soon paralyzes it,
~. No man can be faithful to divine
ideals who lodges daily duties.
Some hope to cure the tiger of
biting by filling his teeth with gold.
The endeavor always counts
more for ones happiness than the
success.

ligion when he does not work at it.

A Parable.

A hired servant was given a GER
tain amount of money to be deliv-
cred to one to whom the employer
was indebted. The trusted servant
accepted the duty and on his way
met his nephew, his sisters son,
who needed assistance. The serv-
ant made him a gift of his employ
er's money and the one to whom
the employer was indebted failed to
receive his just due. Who will say
the servant did right or was justi-
fed?
Wherein does the servants act
differ from that of an elective
official who willfully cast his ballot
directly opposite to what he knew
to be the will of those who had
honored him with a sacred trust?
