A SOUND BUSINESS
PROPOSITION.

You can't figure out a sounder
business proposition than that
which urges the people to vote the
$3,50o,000 new capitol August LIST.
The law provides that only this
amount may be used; that $780, 900
Of it goes to furnishing the new
capitol, 100000 to purchasing addi-
tional capitol grounds; and $4,000
900 must rebuild the capitol com
plete-the state viii not be liable
for any added sum expended. This
amount is broken up into thirteen
equal parts of $685. per year,
the bonds running thirteen years,
which Is sum SO small as not to
be felt by such a rich and growing
state as ours. This annual pay
ment in turn is broken up into
very small parts of 2 cents on the
500 assessed valuation and dis
tributed among the taxpayers b.
the state, sum that means onlS
few cents to each individual,
The proposition is not only sound
one when considered alone, but ISL
strengthened when considered in
the light of the $5,OoO,0O0 issue to
be voted on November, 1912, if the
August election fails to see its
adoption. To carry the $3,500,00O
proposition, not only means a new
state house which is badly needed
and which we can not build for
less, but it also means saving of
&1,500,000 in principal and an equal
amount in interest over the $5,OOO,.
go plan. Its good business and
sound policy and wise judgment to

airy two-thirds.

SAVE A MILLION AND A HALF
DOLLARS.

It is with much qualification that
the Democrat notes that practically
every newspaper in the state fayors
this proposition and as far as we
are able to learn there is almost no
opposition from any source. This
is as it should be and is an sx-
ceedingly wise policy upon the part
of the citizens and voters Of the
state. The quicker the matter is
settled and out of the wsy the bet
ter will it be for the progress and
prosperity Of the state. It appears
to be a sufficient amount to build
creditable capitol building for the
state and will probably be more
economically and honestly spent
for the purpose intended than a
much larger amount. If this prop
osition does not carry an election
will be held in 1912 asking for five
million dollars for the same pur-
pose. 1t requires less votes to
carry the five million proposition
.han it does the three and one-half
million, and therefore it would APP
pear good opportunity to save
one and one-half million dollars.
besides the great worth to the
state in having the question settled
and the agitation stopped, thus al
lowing the state to go forward
unitedly with other projects that go
to the development Of this wonder
full commonwealth. This is one
proposition that we hope to see the
voters unanimous upon. There is
neither politics nor religion in it
and we should therefore take it up
as loyal and patriotic citizens OF
the state and go to the polls on
August FIRST and vote for the three
and one-half millions bond PROPOSE

Getting right down to brass

promises so large and certaia q

cents on the 800 assessed yalua-

REsulLD THE STATE CAPITOL.

No tax payer should overlook the
following important considerations
with respect to the special election
to be held on August flrst:
First: Missouri Is without q
capitol in which to transact public
business and preserve public rec
ords. This Is the result of a disas-
trous fire, and presents situation
that must be met by the people.
Second: The Legislature provid-
ed two plans, one of which must De
adopted, or the state be left with
out a capitol for years to come.
The first of these propositions is
the bond issue of S3,500,000 to be
voted upon on August 1st, If this
fails bond issue of 100000 is to
be voted upon in November, 1912.
Third: BY the adoption of the
$3,500,000 proposition on August
LIST, the people can save 81, 100000,
upon the principal and more than
81 100000 In interest; and prevent
two or three years of expensive
delay in the completion of a new
building.
Fourth: The amount each tax
payer will be called upon to pay is
insignificant. For instance, man
owning a farm of the cash value of
$4,000. assessed at $1,000, would be
called upon to pay 20 cents a year
for not over 13 years, with the
prospect that he would have these
taxes to pay for only eight years,
owing to the rate of increase Of the
value Of taxable property in the
state from year to year, and the
consequent increase in revenue.

A NEW CAPITOL WILL
BOOM IMMl GRAFTON.

During the last decade Missouri
did not make the gain in popula-,
ton that she should, and Texas
passed her in the rank of states.
The people must get into the immi-
grafton game during the next ten
years and regain this lost ground.
A good way to begin is to advertise
to the world the fact that we are a
wide-awake, progressive people by
carrying the proposition for new
capitol building on August LIST. It's
pivotal time with Missouri, cri-
sis in which we must forge ahead
or fall backA The enthusiasm fol
lowing a successful campaign for
new capitol would give a great
impetus to the band wagon Of
progress and send Missouri rolling
on towards the head Of the column,
while the defeat of the proposition
would fall as a wet blanket Of dis
oouragement upon the hopes OF
Missourians, and turn the tide Of
immigration from our doors. We
must have a new capitol; we need
it now; the three and one-half nj IL
lion dollar proposition is a md 1t
reasonable one; to carry it by b
rousing two-thirds majority woul%
be worth much to the state at this
critical time; why not give Mis-
souri, the prestige Of such a splen-
did victory for progress and enter

Walking.

It is the teaching of nature and
of medicine and the common ex-
perience of mankind that the body
that does not exercise stiffens and
rusts. This is freely conceded by
everybody, but not everybody, alasl
translates his belief into practice.
Unless exercise can be varied and
made pleasant it is tedius bust
ness. Swinging Indian clubs, rails
ing dumb-bells. or going through
the various movements of the
home gymnastics" so popular
few years ago, soon become monot-
onOus. The man who can keep it
up every day, year in and year out
possesses an enviable will power
that is in itself akin to genius.
Fortunately, no one is compelled to
do this; indeed, it is better not to
do it exclusively, for indoor eXer-
else is insufficient, and is poor sub
stitute for tennis, rowing, riding and
best of all, because within the pow
er of all able-bodied persons, walk
ing.
By walking is not meant stroll
ing. That is better than sitting in
an armchair by the fire, for it takes
one into the open air and ventilates
the lungs and stirs up the sluggish
circulation in a measure, but it is
not walking exercise.
In a brisk walk of twenty min
uteS or more, a man exercises all
the muscles of his body; he shakes
the abdominal organs into useful
activity; he fills his lungs with
fresh. pure air, and so helps them
to discharge their Office of purify
ing the blood; he quickens and
strengthens the heart-action, so
that the blood, now well earated in
the lungs, flows in full stream to
the brain and washes out all the
poison with which the everyday
work and worry has clogged it; and
at the same time the ever-chang-
ing scenes in city streets or country
roads alter the current of thought.
Mind and body alike are renewed
and all this without conscious eff
fort, if the walk is taken with a
purpose.
The purpose can be found, for
there is always an errand which
one can do for himself or another.
The business man especially, the
one who needs more than any one
else this life-giving exercise, can
get it by walking to or from or to
and from his Office

The People Like the Change.

Since the day President Taft
signed the Payne tariff bill (the
highest tariff bill ever fastened up
on the American consumer of the
necessaries of life) little less than a
miracle has been required to bring
the country up to its present status
upon the leading political issue of
the day. The Czarlike rule of
Joseph Cannon has been over
thrown in the house and Speaker
Champ Clark is presiding there with
the Jeffersonian simplicity of fine
genuine Democrat he is; and the
people like the change. At the
election of last November the
masses clearly and emphatiCally re-
buked the party which gave them
the Payne-Aldrich high tariff bill
and this seems to have driven the
president, through whose encour-
agement and signature the same
became a law to the opposite ex-

for the, dirigible to attain an alti-

at such a height would be about as

might cross the Atlantic, Ocean if
he could take his air ship up six

AN ACCOMPANIMENT OF WAR.

The horrors in connection With the
present uprising in China seems to be
unparalleled. Historic Marking is the
sbambles OF the Manchu butcher. The
sun set yesterday upon scene OF fire,
rapine, desolation and butchery unre-
corded in modern history. Innocent
Chinese, leaving everything behind
them, are fleeing, terror stricken and
destitute to the shelter in the fields ut
the rear OF the reform force. Those
whose queues had been cut off wer G
beheaded by the dozen, but yesterday,
when the order for slaughter was
given, the whole native city was in
vaded by the Manchu soldiers who
ruthlessly mastered men, women and
children. The aged, the young and
babes in arms were shown no mercy.
Several women were executed and
their children stabbed and trampled
under foot. The order appeared to be
that anyone wearing anything white,
which suggested the White Badge worn
by the reformers must be killed forth
with. A white pocket handkerchief
marked the possessor for death. White
shoes, which are worn by the Chinese
as d sign OF mourning, were Il signal
for the execution of the wearer. Fires
sprang up everywhere, and a large
section OF the native city was burned.
