Cost of Rule and Cost of Living.

The rule of the Republican party
has been unbroken since March a,
1897. For nearly thirteen years its
power has been supreme in every
branch of the Federal Government.
During this period, the cost of living
in the United States, has increased
more than one-half, or Sc per cent.
What is the reason for this enormous
increase? Do the following tables
showing comparative cost of running
the government for the last four
years of Cleveland's Administration
and the last four years of Roosevelt's
Administration, offer any explana-
ton?

GRIFFITH

Joseph w. Folk, who has very
direct way of getting at the details
and particulars of anything in which
he takes an active interest, has been
exploring the political nature of the
Republican candidate for Congress
in the Sixth Missouri District. In a
speech at Clinton Mr.. Folk revealed
the results of his investigation in an
exhibit of editorial articles from the
Greenfield Gazette, the newspaper
edited by the candidate, Phil S. Crit
fifth.
OF the loyalty of Editor Griffith to
Republican leaders who believe that
platform pledges, Ike pie crust, were
made to be broken in the interest Of
the pie-biters, there can remain no
doubt. The loyalty of Candidate
Griffith to the Rhode Island policies
of Editor Griffith seems TO be equally
mdiSputable.
Editor Griffith says that Victor Muir
dock is "a four-flusher of the kind
Kansas produces most prolifically,"
and that 'the Wisconsin Chautauqua
lecturer LaFollette) long since ceas-
ed to voice Republican doctrine" he
holds that "the insurgent Republican
congressman who refused to vote for
the Tariff Bill are, of course, little
better than Democrats" and replies
TO public criticism of Speaker Cannon
by declaring that 1--WE think more of
Uncle Joe every day"
That sort of thing ought to be
mighty interesting reading to the Re-
publicanS of the Sixth Missouri Dis
trict, especially in view of the fact
that, in the Democratic candidate, Mr..
c, c, Dickinson, they have an alter
native whose triumphant election
would be timely and emphatic testi-
mony to the fact the Republicans of
the west stand for something more
worth while than boot-licking, pledge
breaking and office-mongering, k.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Upper Floor of Joe Meyer Cloth
ing Store Quilted. Levy Mer-
camille Company Damaged.
Loss About $4,000.

The prompt and effective work of
the fire department on Monday even
ing saved the Joe Meyer Clothing
Store, the Sam Levy Mercantile Co. S
store and possibly the whole east
side.
Fire was discovered in the upper
story of Joe Meyers store shortly af-
ter 8 o'clock and the alarm turned in.
BY the time the fire company arrived
the whole upper floor was ablaze.
One company went in over the front
portico through the upper windows,
the other carried its hose through the
front doors and up through the GEN.
ter air and light shaft. Thus they
were enabled to fight the fire from
both directions. By Mr.. Meyers d.
rections stream of water was direct
ed on the center posts which support
the roof, and this precaution probably
kept the roof from falling. The boys
were not long in getting the fire I'M
der control, but not before the whole
lower floor had been flooded and much
damage to the big stock of clothing,
Notwithstanding precaution had been
taken to cover them thoroughly with
tarpaulins and oil cloths. Mr.. Meyer
very wisely refused to have anything
moved from the rooms, so long as
there was chance to save the build
ing.
The room that was literally Quilted
by fire and flooded by water, contain
ed the entire stock of summer and
fall clothing carried over by Mr..
Meyer, all of which was total loss.
The front or west part of this floor
had been petitioned off and the rooms
thus formed were occupied by the
Sam Levy Mercantile Company's
tailor shops. This company also had
a large amount Of summer goods
slowed there, all of which were de-
stroyed. The big store of this COM
pany was damaged only by the smoke
which found its way through petition
walls.
Mr.. Meyer was fortunate in having
completed the invoice of the depart
ment destroyed the day before, but
the columns have not been run up
and amount definitely known. He
roughly estimates his entire damage
at between $l2, 900 and $4,000.
The Levy Mercantile Company's
loss will also run up high, but no
estimate has been placed on it. The
losses are all fully covered by insur-
ance.

trict are publishing number of so
called reasons why Griffith should be
elected, A prominent Republican of
Butler, who believes in Square
DEAL, in commenting upon them to a
Democrat, said that every one of
them were good and sufficient rea-
sons why he should not vote for
Griffith and he would not.

Expenses Under Cleveland.
$2,5OO,834,2S4

These figures show a remarkable
correspondence between the increase
Of the ordinary expenses Of govern
ment and of the family. II looks very
much as though the rule Of the Re-
publican party which encourages and
fattens the trusts, increases the cost
Of living. At any rate, the man who
works for living finds it infinitely
harder to support his family in de-
cency and comfort, than he did fifteen
or twenty years ago.-Review.

POLITICAL BOSS WORK.

The Appleton City Journal is pub
liShed in a town that is becoming
distinguished and notorious as the
headquarters of the Republican Dis
trict Boss. The Republican party in
the 9th district has its regular con-
gressional committee, with a chair
man elected in due form, who is sup
posed to have management of the
campaign, as in other districts. Mr..
Overman bears the reputation of be-
ing very clever gentleman, possess
ed of some ability, but burdened with
some conscientious Scruples. Now it
is pretty generally known that an
afiliction of that kind is wholly at
variance with a Republican campaign
manager. Certainly the work to be
done for Candidate Griffith required
a man of different mould, in the judg-
ment of the stand-pat Cannon leaders,
and Mr.. overly was sidetracked
and DR.. j. H. Bowden was installed
with an ample corps of assistants, and
the spigot of the National Commit
tees barrel paced in his hands. The
doctor was neveraccused of havingany
squeamish scrupes. If he was ever
so accused, he was Slandered, as peo-
pie of Bates and adjoining counties
can testify. He has opened up the
floodgateS of his sewer connections
and is flooding the district with all
kinds of stuff, regardless of truth or
decency, that is calculated to deceive
the voter and possibly catch votes for
his candidate.
We are sorry to note that Mr.. Hill
ton has permitted the Journal to be-
come a carrier of some Of this sewer
age. Its foul attacks and contempt
ibic insinuations against Senator
Dickinson, evidently inspired, if not
actually written by the managing
boss, is unworthy decent journalism.
Mr.. Dickinson has been before the
people of this district for more than a
quarter of a century as lawyer and
politician, and not the shadow of a
little, mean or dishonorable act has
ever been at his door. He is a law.
yer of recognized ability, scholar,
a christian gentleman, of an old and
honorable ancestry dating back to be-
fore the Revolution. He has an hon,
orable record in both Houses of the
Missouri Legislature. He is an
eloquent advocate, whose voice has
always been raised in defense of the
people against special interests. A
word or insinuation against the per.
sonal or public character and integrity
of Senator Dickinson is vile SANDER
known of all men who are acquainted
with him.
The Democratic press of this dis
trict without exception has treated
this young fellow Griffith, selected
on account Of his obscurity from the
office of a little patent sheet in the
extreme lower end of the district,
with the utmost consideration, not
withstanding they possess the full
knowledge that he is not qualified fol
this high office by education, expert
ence in legislative matters or temper
ament, but is running on the sole pie;
that he is Republican and will yielt
blind obedience to the party bosses
and have vote in UNFOLDING Speakel
Cannon's arbitrary rulings, from
which respectable element in hi
own party is in open revolt.

What Message?

The Republicans of the whole coun-
try as well as of Missouri propose to
make a big fight to capture Dear
mond's seat in Congress, and to de-
feat the Democratic nominee, Senator
Dickinson. They know that the DEM
ocrats have the issues, have a natural
majority in the district, and have the
ADLER candidate, but TO win the dis
trict, they argue to themselves, would
have a most beneficial effect upon
their organization, wherever it has
been claimed the Aldrich-Payne-Taft
tariff law was obnoxious to Repub-
licans as we'll as Democrats. II is
the first test of the standing Of the
party since Taft's induction into the
Presidency. 1t is supposed by the
Republicans that Missouri Democrats
can be bought, and Post Master Gen.
eral Hitchcock, postmaster in the
art of prostituting voters by Wall
street gold, is practically in charge
and large sums of money are to be
scattered over the district. We warn
the Democrats of the Sixth Congress
sional district, made famous by the
courage, manhood and intelligence of
the late DeArmond, to be on their
guard. Indifference upon their part
would mean much to the Democratic
organization all over the United States,
Their honor is at stake as well. The
eyes of the world are upon them.
What message will the Sixth Con-
gressional district Democrats of Mis-
souri, send to Aldrich, Payne, Taft
and Hitchcock?--Boonville Adver-
tiSer.

farmers Of the country are aroused as
never before. They are rapidly learn
ing that protective duty is levied for
the purpose Of picking their pockets

Biggest Dam in the World.

The secretary of the interior has
directed the reclamation service to
take up Immediately the extensive
preliminary work on the Rio Grande
project in New Mexico and Texas, so
that actual construction of the foun-
dalton of the Eagle dam shall be
finished by July, 1911.
The Rio Grande project of which
the Eagle dam is the most i'm
portant engineering feature, will
prove for the reclamation of $780,
900 acres of land lying in New Next
co. Texas and Mexico, in the valley
where irrigation began before the
discovery of America.
1t is estimated that the entire
project will cost approximately So
900, 900. The Eagle dam as planned
by the reclamation service will be
n of the most remarkable
structures of its kind in the world.
1t will be of rubble concrete, gravity
type. with a maximum height of 265
feet. length of crest 1,400 feet, and
will contain 100000 cubic yards.
The reservoir created by II will be
the largest artificial body OF water in
the world. having a capacity of O.
$4,000 acre feet, or enough water
to that many acres a foot deep.
Its capacity is nearly double that of
the Roosevelt dam in Arizona and Is
considerably greater than that OF the
famous Assouan dam. constructed
and recently enlarged by the English
engineers on the Nile.

Committee of Investigation Into Cost
Of Living Hears Secretary
Of Organization.

Inquiry into the operations of the Ma
tional Retail Grocers' Association, which
comprises in its membership vast num-
Der OF the grocers in the country, was
begun by the Senate committee on the
cost OF living this afternoon. John A.
Green, its secretary, was before the COM
mittee.
Many sidelights on the meat packing
industry and upon the American Meat
Packers Association. to which about 90
per cent Of all the meat packers in the
country belong, were thrown by Michael
Ryan, president OF the Cincinnati Abat-
toir Company and former president of
the packers organisation. He was be-
fore the committee yesterday afternoon.
Margin Of Protir.
What margin of profit do you ask, Mr..
Ryan, was asked by Senator Smoot.
He explained that each packer does the
best he can. in accordance with market
conditions. Sometimes. he declared, the,
packers do not get the cost OF their prod
uct; at other times they make good
margin of profit.
A loss of several thousand dollars to
his firm during the first week Of the meat
boycott in New York and Brooklyn was
reported by the witness as showing the
difficulties met by the meat packers. His
firm, he explained, had a lot of meat on
hand when the boycott was begun, and
IL had to sell it for what it could get for
1t. regardless OF cost.
