fifty caRs are to be built on the
steel construction plan aud are to
be equipped with the most modern
safety devices. The passenger
cars are to have in addition every
improvement in the line of COM
fort and are to be electric lighted
and finished in mahogany with
latest designs of comfortable
seats, which are to be plush up
holstered. The most modern
heating is also called for in the
specifications.
The cars for which contracts
were let to-day are in addition to
the large installment of dining
cars, passenger coaches, mail and
baggage car which the Missouri
P~aciic-Iron Mountain have been
receiving lately from the Ameri-
can Car and Foundry Company
shops at st. Charles. The latter
cars, now arriving, are also con-
structed on the most modern
plans.
Since President B. F. Bush took
hold of the Missouri Pacific Iron
Mountain lines he has also let a
contract with the American Lo-
connective Works for fifty freight
engines of the Mikado type. I'm
der the agreement made, these
engines are to be delivered the
latter part of the present month.
Bids have also been asked from
leading manufacturers for a large
number of passenger locomotives
and a big equipment of freight
cars. 1t is expected that these
orders will be placed within the
next week or two.
Fifty thousand tons of heavy
steel rail ordered by these lines
a short time ago have been re-
ceived, and the track is being re-
laid with them. Another big
order for steel rails is to be placed
within a short time.

Teachers Meeting.

The Iron County Teachers AS
ISOLATION will be held at Ironton,
August 31st, to September I'd,
1911.
The fact that you are a teacher,
or employed to teach in Iron coun-
ty, enrolls you as a member of the
Association.
The law compels the County
Superintendent to hold these
meetings and make it the duty Of
the teachers to be present and per-
form the duties assigned them.
We are using every effort to
make this the best association
ever held in the county and we
want your help.
Ii you are teaching, the law
compels your school board to pay
your wages for the two days that
you lose while attending the as
ISOLATION, provided you present
with your monthly report a GER
tifcate of attendance signed by
the County Superintendent.
The law presumes that each and
every district in the county will be
represented at this meeting by one
or all of the members Of the board
and | recommend that every
school board in the county call a
meeting and elect at least one rep
resentative (if they cannot all
Gomez to represent this meeting.
This meeting is the place to be-
come acquainted with the best
teachers of the county and to test
the interest that your teacher
takes in performing the cause OF
education in your district. There
fore, it will be to the best interest
of the schools of the county if ev-
cry district is represented.
The lecture, Friday evening, at
the Academy of Music, by Prof.
w. M. Charters, of the Columbia
University, will be a very interest
ing feature of the association.
You cannot afford to miss it.
We are also planning to have a
lecturer with US on Thursday
evening.
No progressive teacher who
wants to promote the cause of ed
ucation in Iron county, can afford
to be absent from this association.
| am,
Yours, very respectfully,
B. P. BURNHAM.

the numerous other requirements
for a proper polling and registra-
ton of the voters of a large city.
1t is safe to say that this one item
of the new State Committees ex-
peRses will exceed st5, OO0.O 0
We have already enumerated
expenses in excess of $4,000
which must be borne by the new
Committee Add to these the ex-
penses of State Headq uarters,
clerks, telephone, telegraph, rail-
road fare, postage and overseeing
of ia counties of the state, and
will quickly be seen that the rais-

work is imperatively necessary.
We make this appea | to the in
dicidual Democrats of the State,
not in the interest of an existing
committee, nor in the interest of
any candidate, but inIthe interest
of the new State Committee, which
is to be elected next year, and in
the interest of the Democratic
National and State tickets which
are yet to be named.

Attention, Democrats.

10 the Democracy Of MiSsouri-At
the meeting of the Democratic
State Committee, held at Jefferson
City, June goth, 1911, a resolution
was adopted, naming B. H. Ruck-
er, Chairman of the Executive
Committee, A. L. Harty, Secre-
tary of the State Committee, and
j. B. Shannon, State Chairman,
as a committee on organization
for the National and State cam
paign of 1912. In compliance with
this resolution, the undersigned
met at State Headquarters, Mid
land Building, Kansas City, July
18th, and concluded that the first
step in organizing was to issue
this apparel to the individual
Democrats of the State.
Under the law, the new State
committee, elected at the prima-
ries next year, cannot complete
its organization for the guberna-
torial and the PRESIDENT al elect on
of 1912, until about the first of
October, 1912, almost the eve of
the election. This is q serious de-
feet in the law, and makes it al
most impossible for the new COM
mittee to do effective work unless
aided by the present committee.
To make an effective national
and state campaign, it is absolute
ly necessary to have sufficient
funds to defray the expenses that
are unavoidable if the campaign
is to be properly conducted.
1t will be impossible for the new
State Committee to render proper
service without sufficient funds to
defray the expenses attendant up
on a campaign, and as the new
State Committee will not have
to raise the necessary
funds we must raise the money for
it.
We have gotten the consent of
the Honorable Alexander M.
Dockery, of Gallatin, Missouri, to
act al Treasurer and to him all
money collected shall be sent, and
such money will remain in his
hands, subject only to the order
OF the new State Committee which
to be elected in 1912. 1t ID need
less to dwell upon the importa nee
Of the election Of 1912. A presi-
DENTAL as we'll as a state ticket,
may depend upon the vote of
Missouri. A few votes may
change the result and hence a
complete organization is' abso-
lntely necessary.
To give some idea of the mag
nitude of the expenses connected
with a campaign, a few items will
suffice. A single letter addressed
to each voter of this state from
Headquarters will cost, in postage
alone in excess of 81, 100000
To properly protect the interest
of the national and state ticket in
1912, judging from experience, it
will be necessary for the new
State Committee to give close at
tention to the City of st. Louis.
Should it be necessary to poll the
precincts of that city, it will re-
quire at least $500 a precinct for
the 400 precincts, which will be
S2,0 100000. There are four days Of
registrati on: two watchers for
each precinct at $500 per day,
would roll up q total Of 100000.
Election day, two men for each
precinct, as watchers and chal-
lengers, at $500 each, total
$4,000, making a grand total Of
Si4, 10000. This Of course, does
not include postage. vehicles and

MUCH discussion has been had

MUCH discussion has been had
recently in Democratic news
papers of Missouri in regard to
the obligation that is supposed to
rest upon the Democrats of this
state to support MI. Folk for pres
ident in 1912. Certainly any Dem
ocrat has a perfect right to sup
port Mr.. Folk for president if he
be the choice of such persons.
But it has been asserted that the
Missouri Democracy is pledged to
Mr.. Folks support because the
state convention of 1910 endorsed
him and pledged him the support
of Missouri. We deny that that
convention had any right to
pledge Mr.. Folk or any other maj
the support Of this state for the
presidential nomination. The
gentlemen composing that con-
vention were not elected to m en-
bership therein for any such pur-
pose. They were delegated to at
tend that meeting for certain other
purposes, but decidedly not for
the purpose of passing upon the
question of nominating a candi-
date for president in 1912. II, then,
they were not chosen for that pur-
pose, they were either usurping
powers that had never been grant
ed to them by those whose SER
wants they were, or else they were
merely expressing the personal
opinions of the individual dele
gates in the body. In either ase
taking any view of the matter
that you may-we cannot see how
any Democrat can feel that he is
bound by the action of that con-
vention upon this question unless
he was a member of the conven-
ton and supported the PROPOSE
ton. When a duly authorized
state convention snail have met in
1912 for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the national conven-
ton, no one can dispute the right
of that convention to declare for a
candidate and instruct the dele
gates to the national convention.
No one had such a right in 1910
nor at any other time. If this isn't
a common sense view Of the whole
controversy, we shall feel obliged
to any Democrat thinking differ
emily who a point out the fall
lacy Of our argument.-Troy Free

SOME additional facts of interest
regarding the cost of trust busting
by the United States department
of justice have been brought out
recently; 81, 161, 1852 has been paid
by the government for especial
COUNSEL in the trust cases. Stin-
son, secretary of war, drew $685.
600; Frank B. Kellogg cost $751;
600 and j. B. McReynelds touched
Uncle Sam for 1854, 900. AL of this
money was spent in addition to
the salaries of the regular assist
ants who received in the aggre-
gate about a quarter of a million
dollars a year. The trusts, how
ever, seem to thrive on being
busted.
