Major Knew il Was Wrong.

Let it never be forgotten that Attor'
new-General Major, though the legal
advisor OF the Legislator and all state
officials, deliberately adopted and
sought to establish a gerrymander Of
senatorial districts that the circuit court
Of the city OF St. Louis and the supreme
court OF the state declared unconsti-
tutional, illegal, unfair and vicious.
OF course Major knew it was uncon-
stitutional, and yet, despite his solemn
oath TO support the constitution, he
tried to force this unfair and unconsti-
tutional division OF the state for party
purposes, and severely criticised the
honest governor of the state for refus'
ing to sign and promulgate it. Will
the people Of Missouri select man Of
that kind for governor Will honest
democrats consent TO the nomination
OF such a man for governor? II the
oath Of public official to support the
constitution is not sacred, what is?

Governor AadIey's Attitude.

There is no occasion for specializing
as to what Governor Hadley will DO.
He is loyal republican and devoted
Missourian. lie will do all he can to
prevent revival Of bourbonism in this
state and 10 elect a republican state
ticket. He stands squarely on the re-
publican national platform, for which
he voted as delegate at large. He
has repeatedly stated that he does not
believe the republican party has ceased
to be an fundamentally of great good
to the American people and TO the peo'
pie OF this state, and that he will not
abandon it now or hereafter. He is as
active as ever in promoting the meas
urcs and the reforms for which his ad
ministration stands. His appointees
are sustaining the republican organiza
tion. When the campaign opens the
voice Of the republican governor of
Missouri will be heard in every district
and it will have no uncertain sound.

effort should be made TO drive from the
republican party those who might sup
port such ticket, or 10 try to prevent
them from cooperating in the election
Of republican state and local tickets.
The statements here made are au-
thoritative. There can be no reason
able doubt about Governor Hadlcy's
attitude. 1t would be superauous to
say that in maintaining his position as
a regular republican he is not com
mitted TO offend those among his party
friends who prefer some other course

Humphreys, Mo-, July 9, 1912.
Editor Taney County Republican: I
have been reader Of your paper for
several years and have always admired
and approved Of the earnest and un'
firing way you have so energetically
boosted the Ozark country, especially
Taney county, together with the firm
stand which you have always taken in
the great political issues before the
American people, both in national and
state affairs. Therefore I am con.
strained TO say, in the ecstacy Of de-
light, Let the good work go on until
the visions and dreams Of the founders
Of the republican party have been
ecHpsed by the luster Of actual accom-.
pliShment. As to the present political
campaign feel like the outlook for a
republican victory is very bright and
promising, both in the nation and also
in the grand old state OF Missouri.
As for me and my house we are for
Taft for president and J. E. Swanger
lor governor,
Not wishing TO cast any reflections
on any one OF the candidates who are
now seeking the nomination for gov
ernor in the republican primary, never
theless, l cannot refrain from speaking
a word Of praise for John +. Swanger,
whom I have personally known from
his boyhood days to the present time.
Mr.. Swanger was reared on a farm in
Sullivan county, Mo-, near Milan, the
county seat. have always found him
to be one whose character was above
reproach and whose loyalty and faithful
work in the diffusion Of the principles
Of good citizenship was beyond ques.
! ton. I feel very sure that Mr.. Swanger
has proved his worth as state official
in the past and at present, and am con.
fdent that we will not take any risk in
placing him at the head Of the repub'
lican ticket, and then all good citizens
help 10 boost him into the governor
chair on election day.
Yours very truly.

Report on AppIe Crop.

From data received by sending cards
Of inquiry 10 representative fruit grow
ers Of Missouri, the state board OF hor-
ticulture has gathered the following
results:
The average apple crop for all sec
tions Of the state is about 66 per cent.
This is, according 10 every report
but five, much better than last year S
crop, many reporting it 100 per cent
better, while still others say it is the
best we have had in years. The usual
June drop" was not as severe as
might be expected, most growers re-
porting it not at all serious.
There is quite a difference in the
rank Of different varieties. Ben Davis
has in nearly every case a full crop,
while the summer varieties are gener
ally reported shy. Other winter varie.
ties, such as Winesap, Grimes Golden,
Ingram and Gano, have very promising
crops. A large majority Of growers re-
port insects and diseases, codling moth
scab and blight being widespread. L
is stated in nearly every such case
however, that these are found only il

Missouri republicans have no quarrel
with Mr.. Bryan for defeating Champ
Clark, though they do not approve his
method Of warfare. Mr.. Clark would
have been less formidable opponent
Of the republicans in other states than
Mr.. Wilson, but in Missouri state pride
and democratic party conditions might
have made him 4 powerful leader.
Wilson is weak in Missouri.

As the people read and reflect now
they see the political situation in a
light far more satisfactory than was re-
hected upon it Immediately after the
Chicago and Baltimore conventions,
and as the campaign progresses they
will see things that never appear when
clouds Of passion or prejudice obscure
the view. The Republican party has a
Just claim on the confidence, support
and vote Of every loyal American citi-
zen. It's record is one Of justice,
righteousness, great achievements and
progress. Its past has been glorious.
Its future is full Of promise.

The election Of Wilson, should he
be elected, will be signal triumph
for VIM. J. Bryan, who, as matter Of
course, will stand next 10 the throne

him before approaching the president

Missouri Democrats still have Dave
Ball to reckon with after having put
Bryan on the list Of undesirables. Ball

FIRE STILL BURNS.
Twenty Streams OF Water Pour
Into Equitable Ruins.
New SO Story Building May Oc-
cupy Site.

New York, Jan. 10--A white hot fur
mace still glowed fierce in the cellars OF
the ruined Equitable building at day
break today, resisting all the efforts OF
the firemen to drown out the names
Chief Kenlon doubted whether the fire
would be completely extinguished be-
fore nightfall. All blaze is now con-
fined, however, to the heaped up ruins
in the cellars, for above the first story
nothing is left save the granite walls.
All night long, under the glare of
three powerful search lights from the
Singer tower, ice covered firemen
poured in streams from 20 nozzles-
Until the flames are completely extin-
guished, little effort can be made to
reach the vaults where securities and
papers valued at 81, 800 900, 900 are stored
A police line is maintained on all sides
of the burned building.
There were no additions to the list
of casualties during the early morning

injured. One of the dead is still IN
identified and the body of William J.
Walsh, battalion chief of the fire de-
partment, has not yet been recovered

New Home a Question.
Whether new and more magnificent
home will be erected on the same site
for the Equitable Life is a question into
which enter several elem erts of doubt
The site is the most valuable single
piece Of property in New York and for
several years plans have been on file
with the city building department for
the erection there of a So story building
to cost 5000, 900. The building would
be the tallest in the world, 200 feet
higher than the Metropolitan Tower,
and $50 feet loftier than the Woolworth
building now in course of construction.
But under the New York state laws
affecting insurance companies, such
companies are permitted to own and
hold real estate solely Tor the purposes
of their business and it would remain
within the discretion of the state in

would be violating if it erected a
building, the major part of which would
be rented to tenants in no way con-

PRIMARY LAW GONE

Court.

New York, Jan. 1O.-A state su-

are unconstitutional, and directs that
the official ballot for the March prl-
mary shall be prepared without regard
to the new law. The matter will be

been most severely attacked is that
sthe name Of a candidate shall not
appear more than once on ballot as
a candidate for the same Office or par

NORRIS ON STAND
Federal Graud Jury to Hear
Spoilers Story.
Preacher Declines to Tell Where
He Bought Liquor.
REVENUE MEN HERE.
Simon and Employee Do Not
Give Up List.
Famous Forty Have Not Pur-
chased Liquor Stamps.
REVENUE MEN HERE.

When the federal grand jury meets
In Kansas City this month the Rev.
Robert Norris viii have an opportuni-
ty to tell where he bought liquor in
80 different places in Topeka recent
IL"
If Rev. Norris found 40 joints in
Topeka in his recent search, Uncle
Sam wants to know about it. Not
that the government expects to take
a hand in the Shawnee county clean
up, but to collect the revenue. At the
present time there is nothing like AZ
liquor stamps owned in Topeka. If,
as Mr. Norris told the State Temper
ance union, there are 40 places where
beer and whisky can be bought in To-
peka, the government wants list or
these places and will begin actions
against the offenders of the federal
law.
When questioned about the names
Of the men and women of whom he
said he bought liquor, Rev Norris
mind became dim and hazy- Away
back in the archives of his memory he
recalled the faces of some of the peo-
pie who sold him liquor, but to save
his life Mr.. Norris couldn't furnish the
government with a list of the places
he visited. Somehow none of the
names of these people could be sup
piled by Rev. Norris
Where Is That List?
He declared that he had turned his
information over to the county attor-
ney. Then the county attorney was
interviewed, but Mr.. Simon only
smiled and rubbed his monocle and
gave an evasive answer. Yes, Mr.
Simon knew Rev. Norris had done
some missionary work in Shawnee
county Where were the places he
bought liquor? Well, sir, to save your
dear life. Mr.. Simon couldn't say.
Wasn't Mr.. Simon working in the in
terest of law enforcement? oh, yes,
indeed. to be sure. Look at his rec
ord. But as to a list of those 40 IA
nous resorts. well Mr.. Simon didn't
have them handy.
If you have studied the question, you
realize that the love between the state
and national administra lions as it AFFECTS
the prohibitory law, has gone sadly
aStray. All OF the cards are in favor OF
the state officials. They can walk down
to the federal building and get a list Of
every person in Kansas who owns a

ship of one of these stamps was iron
clad evidence of a. nuisance. This added
another s25 to the income OF the prose-
cutting attorney and the possession of a
federal stamp in Kansas is nothing to be
proud Of
On the other hand, the state law is so
regulated. that the county attorney may

child on the townsite knows of mira ctions

the federal officers to get to this informa-
ton and the grab for jOintists becomes 4
one sided game. It has been made more
so by a generous distribution of public
funds to a small army of spoilers who
sometimes bride people to sell liquor
