is operating to the injury of any indus
try or section then it will be changed
by protectionists and friends of an
adequate tariff instead of those who
threaten to close every custom house
in the land.
Democratic leaders have forced this
issue and Republicans will accept it
without division. The position OF
those who advocate continued ade-
quate protection for every industry or
section and for all labor is clear and
unequivocal.
We propose to have all the protec-
ton needed, we want no more, we will
not be satisfied with less. And on
this issue it is believed the people can
be trusted to return a verdict that
means progress for the nation, pros
perity for the people and not the ruin
and degradation that must come with
free trade, or a So-called tariff-for-
revenue-only.

A Coward1y Compromise

The Democracy can afford nc
compromise with the principles repre-
sented by the ex- Legislative agent
who, for many years, pass-book in
hand, worked his will among the law
makers at Jefferson City, So said the
St. Louis Republic June 8, 1910.
But the Democracy has made such a
compromise not only with Col.
Phelps, the man referred to by the
Republic, but with his allied legisia-
tive agent Joe Shannon, who, at
the instance of Phelps was made chair
man of the Democratic State Commit
tee. Which shows that the idea of
of Democratic leaders is Anything to
Win"
Will they win?
Do YOU intend to help them win
In November?

of Taney county be conducted for tn
next four years as they have been i
the past four years. Some may argu
that this is not political issue but W
will show that it Els. Democratic can
didates are promising a better AMI
more conservative administration Q
county affairs if they are elected. !
their promises amount to more thar
hot air, they mean that they will make
some change in the way of conducting
the county's business. Is it wise O.
safe to make any such change? The
county is now running with the expen.
ditures within the receipts after paying
the interest on the bonds and putting
$4,000 year in the sinking fund.
What changes will the conservative
Democratic county court make? Will
it quit paying interest and putting
away sinking fund as the last Demo
cratic county court did? If they do
the bonds will pile up and there will
simply be more to pay some day. Are
they going to cut off the Scent pau
per levy? If they are what is going to
become of our worthy poor and insane?
Are they going to quit paying the
criminal costs which are. chargable
against the county? Are they going 70
quit paying the county oficers7 Are
they going to quit paying the eA-
penses of elections?
It is easy enough for candidate to.
say that the present officers are ex-
travagant and that he will be economi-
cal if elected. Anybody can make
general promises. But can the Demo
cratic candidates name a single ex-
penditure that the Republicans have
made that they will not make?
We want to say that we have watched
the conduct of the county's business
very closely and We do not know
where the court could have spent
cent less and stayed inside the law.
Republicans who are approached
with such charges and such promises
should take them with a grain of salt.
Call for bill of particulars and make
40 pledges until you have found the
acts in the case. For there are GER
ainly some wild statements being
circulated.

Why Scratch?

Inc Democratic candidates and
uel oackers are riding the hills these
aays' making every effort to secure
section. To do this they know they
must have Republican votes and they
aie trying to get pledges from Repub-
lcan voters. But we want to ask the
Nspuolcan voters why they should
scratch.
No charge is being made on the
Aepuohcan candidates other than that
'4ey are Republicans, which forces US
ask should Republican scratch a
Nspuplican just because he is a Re-
publican?
There are just two issues in this
ss'lpagn as far as county offairs are

History Badly Twisted.

The ancient and venerable editor of the
belittled our youth and doubted our being
informed on Taney county politics. We
admit our youth also our "newness' in
Taney, b=t we can say that history still ex-
lists and we have many old men who have
resided continuously in the county for the
past fifty years "both Republicans and
Democrats who will tell you that the Dem
ocrats have not had majority of the county
Taney county has are Republican debts,
and all of the county Improvements CD
should be credited to them.
Now, as to the facts in the case:
In 1888 Taney county owed sundry debts
amounting to 100000 and these got into
the hands Of .1r. Ullman, cf Springfield,
Mo-, who demanded settlement. The Re-
publican county court at that time issued
bonds to the amount of $7,00O.OO. This
81, 100000 the only amount of accrued
Indebtedness dating back before 1885,
About twelve years ago the Republicans
made campaign declaring that under sue
cessful Republican rule the county had
been freed from debt and was then free of
debt. Four years later they deceived the
voters with the same plea
But the voters eyes were opened by
Federal Judge in Springfield who declared
that the Ullman account with interest was
still good and that Taney county must issue
bonds to the sum of $41, ZOO. 90 to pay the
same with interest including sundry other
warrants which the Republican county court
had neglected to pay. This debt, you, Mr..
Tax payer, are struggling under, trying to
pay.
Our advice to you is elect conservative
Democratic county court and get out of
debt.-Taney County Democrat.
We would advise the boy who edits
the Democrat against getting out On a
limb. the limb is liable to break or
some rude person is apt to shake him
out. We would also recommend to
him the state slogan, I am from Mis-
souri, you'll have to show me, and
advise that he do not believe every
thing anybody tells him.
The article quoted above illustrates
very clearly the situation of Taney
county politics. As he admits, the

The above matter is one of vital inn
portance to Taney county. No blow
could fall that would hurt worse than
the placing of a quarantine on Taney
county cattle. Outside of strip
along the railroad which has market
for timber, we depend upon stock
shipments for an income. Something
must be done, and we suggest that
a meeting be held at the court house
next Tuesday night to discuss the sub
ject Circuit court will be in session
then and stockmen from all parts of
the county will be present.

Missourians are beholding strange
things in state politics this fall. When
JOS. W. Folk was governor he caused
the enactment of an anti-lobby law in
tended to prevent Col. Bill Phelps and
Joe Shannon and others coming in
contact with members of the legisla-
ture, Now he is canvassing this
state as political speaker under di-
fection Of Shannon, and in Jasper
county urged the election of Col.
rnelps as member of the Legislature.

Former Governor David R. Francis,
who has been hard pressed as a candi-
date for United States Senator be-
cause of his intimate financial and ex-
ecutiye relations with numerous big
public service and other corporations,

nouncement that he is to retire from
business. But will his bonds and
stocks and personal interest in his big
corporations be retired?

One simple proposition confronting
the voters OF Missouri now is, shall the
kind Of politics represented by Gov
ernor Hadley be approved, or shall
Missouri return to the kind OF politics
Of which Col. Phelps is Missouri's
most conspicuous and notorious ex-
ample" as the St. Louis Republic

The following from Mr.. Clark S
speech January IS, 1894. (Record,
D. SD, p 833):
Mr.. Bowers (Rep. of Cal. why
can you not let the wooden manufac-
lures come in free to compete with
that produced by our farmers?
Mr.. Clark, of Missouri am in
favor of letting woolens come in free.
And what is a good deal more, I am
in favor of letting everything else come
in free. That is my creed. x
[ propose to support every amend
ment to this bill that puts anything On
the free list or cuts the tariff lower.
From Mr.. Clark's speech, January
ID, 1894. (Record, 2-53d, p. 903):
''* The truth is that free
wool would raise the price of Ameri-
can wool; because we need the differ
ent grades of foreign woods to mix
with American woods to make certain
kinds of wooden cloths. So that the
wool grower will find the wool he has
to sell go up and the wooden goods he
has to buy go down.
Well, we tried free woodland the
price went down, and the wooden
mills closed down, and the people had
little money to buy wooden goods at
any price.

Cattle Interests IN Danger.

Cattle Interests IN Danger.
Missouri State Board of Agriculture
/ Veterinary Department.
Columbia, Oct. II, 1910.
Prosecuting Attorney,
Forsyth, Mo.
My Dear Sir:
I am in receipt of information from
the Chief of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, Washington, D. c., to the eff
feet that Federal inspectors have
found cattle belonging to Samuel Holt,
of Protein, in your county, carrying
Texas fever ticks. Unless those who
own fever cattle get them up promptly
and clean the ticks off of them and
keep them clean the rest of. this year
and thoroughly burn all the range on
which they have run this season just
as soon as the leaves fall these ticks
will certainly be present on the cattle
in the same range next year. If ticks
are found there another year the coun-
ty is certain to go into quarantine. It
is possible that what has been found
will cause quarantine to be placed
upon Taney county next year. In the
event that the county goes into quar-
antine there will likely be no inspec-
ton of cattle out of the county at any
time of the year for the reason that we
have not sufficient funds to employ in
spectors. If any inspection is pro-
vided for at all it will doubtless be at
the expense of cattle owners.
The bringing of cattle from Arkan-.
sas across the line to Missouri is
against the Federal quarantine regula-
tons and also against the quarantine
of the state of Missouri.
Furthermore an act of the legislature
of 1909 imposes penalty of SIS to.
$500 upon any one who allows cattle
carrying Texas fever ticks to run at
large or sells or offers them for sale or
drives them upon the public highway.
1t is up to the people of your coun-
ty to protect themselves in this mat
ter and enforce the state law and the
quarantine regulations. In order that
I may make the best possible presen-
tation of the case to the Federal au-
thoritiks looking towards preventing
quarantine being placed upon this
county wish you would kindly write
me as soon as possible and give me
Ill of the information as to what is be-
ng done in Taney County to enforce
he quarantine regulations and to
tamp out the ticks that are now il
-our county. In the event the matter
S let run on the county certainly will
'e placed in quarantine.
Yours respectfully.
D. F. LUCKY.

editor of the Democrat knows little {
Taney county affairs, and relies upo
what others tell him. Hestakes hi
advice from the bosses of the Demo
cratic party in the county and thes
bosses are deceiving him just as the
are trying to deceive the voters of tn
county. And the information the
have given him above is simply mas
of misstatements. They made hin
believe and they are trying to mak'
the voters believe them.
It is certainly a fact that we have
history, but we call upon the Demo
crat to name the old men who have
resided in the county continuously fol
fifty years, both Democrats and Re-
publicans,' who will tell you that the
Democrats have not had a majority oi
the county court since the war" We
want to know who they are who have
lived here so long and know so little
or would tell such falsehoods.
In 1890 the Democrats elected T.
L. Fitch presiding judge and he serv-
ed until 1896. In 1892 they elected
L. w. Fields judge of the eastern dis
trict and he served until 1895; so that
in 1898 and 1894 the Democrats had
majority of the county court. In
1882 the Democrats elected R. w.
Robertson presiding judge and G. W..
Sherrod judge of the eastern district.
The Republicans elected James Oliver
Judge of the western district. All the
rest of the county officers at that time
were Democratic. Mr.. Oliver, (the
same Uncle Jimmy who now lives at
Hollister) served less than six months
and resigned, and Democrat, Thos.
F. Layton, was appointed in his place,
so that in 1888 and 1884 the Demo
Gratis had the entire county court and
all the county officers. Thomas A.
Layton, a Democrat, served as county
clerk from 1876 to 1884, and during
his entire incumbency the court was
Democratic or under his dictation.
So much for the claim that the
county court has not been Demo
cratic since the war.
The Democrats informers say that
in 1888 there were $1,000 of the Ull-
man bonds outstanding and that this
$1,000 the only amount of accrued
dating back before 1888"
The Democratic county court above
consisting of R. w. Rob-
erson, C. w. Sherrod and Thos. F.
Layton, all Democrats, did on Novem-
Der 13, 1888, issue $4,000 of bonds,
known as the Pope bonds, which bonds
we're payable in not less than ten
years, and they were outstanding in
1888. Besides this there were other
ponds, judgments and warrants out
standing, so that in 1888, the accrued
was nearly $4,000 in
stead of $1,000. But such little
hing as dropping cipher is nothing
20 the Democratic bosses who are try
ng to deceive the voters of fancy
And a candidate who will
lse deceit to get into Office will be
leceitful after he gets there.
We need "a conservative Demo
cratic county court" do we? Well,
the Democratic county court is no
more conservative than the statements
made by the Democratic paper, they
would have the county in
pretty mess in short time.

What a Democratic House Means

Concerning the altitude of Hon.
Champ Clark toward the Wilson tariff
bill in the fifty third Congress, and up
on the item therein placing wool on
the free list:
Excerpts from Mr.. Clark's speech
in the House January d, 1894.
(Record, 2-53d, Appendix, p. 1872
I am in favor of this bill (Wilson
bill) because it is the best I can get
at present and because it is step in
the right direction.
It's free trade portion Is its saving
grace.
I am in favor of the Wilson bill not
because it is all my fancy had painted
Democratic revenue measure (laugh-
ter), but because it contains much
that is good and forever rids US of
much that is bad.
I am in favor of the Wilson bill be-
cause 1t places lumber, coal, iron, salt,
wool. binder twine, cotton ties, agri-
cultural implements and numerous
other necessaries of life upon the free
list.
I am in favor of the Wilson bill
because it will carry increased COM
fort and joy into 100000 homes
and ameliorate the condition of 65,-
100000 American citizens, etc., etc.,
etc."
