Commencement Exercises.

Our school is rapidly drawing to &
close. There are fifteen in the gradu
ating class. There are nine girls ano
six boys.
We expect to have the best gradu.
ating exercises that we have ever
had. Rabbi Leon Harrison of St.
Louis, will deliver the address. He
is one Of the best known orators in
the West. We are fortunate indeed
to have him on this occasion.
Supt. S. E. Seaton of Macon, Mo-,
says: "Your address to our gradual
ing class last Thursday evening is un-
animously conceded to have been the
best every delivered in the town. .
Supt. R. L. Myers of Princeton,
Mo-, says: "The final talk to the
class was captivating beyond descrip-
ton and will never be forgotten by
our people,"
Come out and hear the gifted Rab-
bi, or you will miss rare treat.

Will Oil Ohio Street.

The action of the city council Tues
day night in donating $500 in cash
and agreeing to put Ohio Street ir
suitable condition assures the carrying
out of the proposed experiment Of
oiling Ohio Street.
The proposition, which was ad-
vanced and worked up by A. B.
Owen, j. w. Holloway and DR.. T.
VI. Arnold, contemplates putting an
oil preparation on Ohio Street from
the school house to the square. These
gentlemen have investigated the ef-
fects of the oiling as tried in other
cities, and are convinced that the oil
will serve the double purpose of pre-
serving the streets and keeping down
the dust.
The experiment will cost approx
mately $3.50, this amount having been
raised by subscription and the dona-
ton of the city council. 5000 gallons
of oil will be used.

Columbia, NO., May 2.-No more
"book farmers will be graduated
from the college of agriculture at the
University of Missouri, when new
rule goes into effect, which requires
that every man to receive diploma
must spend at least six months in
actual labor on the farm. Students
who have been reared on the farm
will be excused from the requirement,
but city boys will have to spend the
equivalent of two vacations at work
in the country. u
AS many of the students in agricul-
ture here are city boys, this rule will
affect many of the students. Those
already here will not have to comply
with it, but it will affect next years
freshman class. 1t is expected that it
will prevent ''mollycoddles" from
being graduated here.

MARYLAND BOUGHT
SAY TAFT PEOPLE
Mckinley Declares SO, 900 Was Spent
on Votes in Primary.

Mckinley Declares $4,000 Was spen
on Votes in Primary.
Washington, D. c., May 7.-Nov
that Maryland is for Roosevelt by
slight margin, the Roosevelt manage
ments holds that Taft's slender vic
tory in Massachusetts, last week is
offset and that upon the verdict Of
Illinois, Nebraska, Oregon, West Vir'
ginia, Pennsylvania and Missouri,
Taft must be voted by the Republican
National Convention a "repudiated
man,"
The Taft reply is that the Roosevelt
people bought Maryland-actually pur-
chased the voters constituting the
progressive" leaders meagre major
ity, and with Steel Trust money-and
that, nevertheless, Taft ran close
race in Maryland and will romp in the
winner at Chicago after scoring de.
cided victory over Roosevelt in the
Ohio district primaries, May 81.
The National Taft Bureau does not
beat the bush in making the charges
of bribery. A statement issued to-
day by Representative Mckinley, the
Taft manager, says the Roosevelt
managers in the city and county of
Baltimore "placed $4,000 at an early
hour yesterday"
They follow up this assertion by
saying fully 80 per cent of the negro
vote in Baltimore City was cast for
Roosevelt. Mckinley believes the
''colored brother" received the lions
share of the $4,000.
'In Prince George County," says
Mckinley, (Which was the last to be
heard from and which definitely de-
cided the contest so far as present re-
turns indicate, Roosevelt money in
large amounts was poured into the
county. Large rolls of bills, accom-
panied by checks to be used if need
ed, were sent out from Washington
on Sunday. One well-known leader
in the district voluntarily exhibited
such roll in Washington on Sunday
afternoon.
Claims Made All Along.
1t has been the claim of the Taft ,
headquarters all along that the Roose-
welt campaign is being financed by the i
Steel and Harvester trusts. In the j.,
statements filed after the New York :
primaries, it was brought out that
George W. Perkins contributed $751; 9
600 for use in New York State alone. /;
In every important state fight, the
Roosevelt campaign has proven to be +
we'll financed. Hence the Taft side
now levels the charge that the money 4
of the Steel and Harvester monopolies .
bought up enough negroes in Mary Il
land to give Roosevelt control of that n
State and, perhaps, to give him the
nomination. h

The Single Tax.
K. c. journal.

By virtue Of the initiative the PEG
pie of Missouri are required, next fall
to vote on the question of the singh
tax.
The single tax means:
l. No tax on bonds, notes, mort
cages, automobiles, stock, carriages
merchandise or any other form O
personal property.
2. No tax on the Commerce build
ing, the Baltimore hotel, or any Other
building whatsoever.
! 8. All the taxes on the value oil
the land, exclusive of the improve.
ment and upon corporate franchises.
Its results will be.
/. A shifting of the burden of the
state and county tax from towns to
the country. The improvements and
personal property in the towns are at
least two or three times the value of
the bare lots-even with the present
tax enforcement Of the personal prop
erty law. The bare land in the coun-
try is two or three times the value of
the improvements and personal prop
erty. The same total annual revenue
must be raised under the proposed
law as now. The result can only be
to shift the burden from town to
country.
2. In towns there will be similar
shifting from improved lots to unim-
proved lots; from the highly improv-
ed. The Long building will pay no
tax; the lots under it will pay only as
much as the unimproved land the
diagonal corner. The owner of lot
with $4,000 house on it will pay no
more tax than the owner of an ad-
joining lot with $1,000 house.
8. In general, there will be shift
ing from town to country; in town
and country there will be a shifting
from the highly improved or unim-
proved.
These results are not matter of
opinion. If town lots are of the value
of one million, improvements one
million, and personal property one
million, while the land outside the
town is of the value of one million,
improvements and personal property
half million, then, under the present
system, the town pays on three mil
lion and the country on a million and
a half; the town pays on twice as
much as the country; the town pays
two-thirds and the country one-third;
while under the proposed system the
country would pay half the bill and
the town half. It is not a matter of
opinion; it is a matter of mathemati-
cal demonstration. If Improvements
in town bear higher ratio to land in
town than Improvements in the coun-
try bear to land in the country, then
the shift must incontestibly be to the
The single tax religionists-for the
single tax is a rel!gion-never want to
talk and never will talk about the
actual results; they want to talk only
fine-spun theories. But the ordinary
citizen wants to know the results, and
The general results are as above
stated.

Clark Strong in California.

Speaker Champ Clark's chances
are brighter for carrying the presi-
dental preference primary in Cali
fornia May ID than those of any other
Democratic candidate, according to
advices received by the managers of
the Clark bureaus in St. Louis and
Washington.
Guy E. Golterman of the Washing
ton bureau is in receipt of a letter
from R. H. Dewitt. president of the
Champ Clark League of California,
which reads:
ut may be of interest to you to
know that the situation in California
is extremely favorable to Champ
Clark and that he will carry this state
by an overwhelming majority. l con-
fidently expect it will be as decisive
as three to one."
Clark's campaign managers believe
the speaker will poll more than rs
per cent of the votes of women who
espouse the Democratic cause.
