The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1912-08-29

Those farmers Of the poorer rural
districts in Missouri who have assumed
an attitude Of rebellion against anything
savoring Of additional school support,
it mus! be said in justice TO them,
have done so with a large degree Of
justification. Through the peculiarly
Of present laws the distribution OF school
funds seems most unjust, giving poorly
to the poor districts and in abundance
to the wealthy. With the adoption Of
the school mill tax amendment this
condition will be radically changed.
The rural districts will get schools equal
in all respects to those Of those Of the
cities and wealthy districts will not gel
less than is already meted out to them
Every school district will have a schoo
building equal TO modern demands

A Danger Of Frost.

There may come a frost, killing
frost, between now and late September,
when the colonel is to take the stand
as a witness in his own defense. He
had demanded that he be called for
the early part Of the present week,
Monday being the day he preferred.
We had congratulated him upon his
prompt action in doing the obvious
thing for him 10 do, as candidate,
something which, if left undone, would
also have left the colonel out Of the
running. He has been so quick to
see this that our wonder grows why he
failed to see what a trump card 1t
would have been for him, in 1904, to
publish the two letters and the tele-
gram he says he sent to Cortelyou be-
tween the 10Th and Goth Of October in
that year. Our fear that the colonel
is losing his keen political sight is re-
moved by this quick seeing Of what it
had been put to him to do.
We shall not repeat the charge now
being made by his personal enemies
that he was aware, before demanding
to be called on Monday, that it would
be impossible for the senate commit
tee to meet again for several weeks.
There are some evidences that the
colonel was preparing for an immedi-
ate hearing. On Sunday he had both
George B. Cortelyou and William Loeb
up on Sycamore Hill. 1t is Cortelyou
to whom the two letters and the tele-
gram, now produced for the first time,
are addressed. Cortelyou was the
coloneps private secretary when the
colonel was president, and it was the
colonel who, as president, put Cortel-
you into the craftsmanship OF the ma
tional republican committee in 1904.
There must have been complete con-
idence, harmony and cooperation
between a president, a candidate for
reelection, and his confidential man
whom he had placed in charge Of the
party organization. Still he writes to
Cortelyou, late in the campaign, about
a week before the election, in fact,
that he has just heard, from some
other person, that the Standard Oil
corporation has been giving Cortelyou
large sums Of money for use in the
campaign, and he wants it sent back.
Cortelyou, according to the coloneps
Wilkesbane statement last week, sent
back word, but only verbally, that
no such money had been received by
him. It is obvious that the colonel
and Cortelyou should talk things over
before the colonel goes on the stand
and the summoning Of Cortelyou on
Sunday is rather indicative Of the
coloneps expectation TO testify at an
early date.
Now the entire investigation goes
over until late September. We don't
believe the delay is pleasing to the
colonel. We say again that there is
too much time left for frost, after
which even pumpkin heads and thick,
shuck nubbins can no longer be as
green as the colonel, il sometimes
seems to us, would like to keep them
always. The colonel is quoted as ex,
pressing disappointment at the post
ponement, and we believe that he is
sincere about it.-Globe be-Democrat.

The West is the Battle Field.

Next Monday the republican con
gressional campaign formally opens,
and this time the headquarters OF the
campaign committee is to be in Chi
cago, and not in New York. The
latter city is to be the branch head
quarters, and to be altogeih>. s@5or-
dinate to the big western town. So
far as regards the congressional can
vass, the battle is to be won or lost
for the republicans in the west, and,
naturally, the fight for the west can
be pushed more vigorously from the
the town at the head Of Lake Michigan
than it can from the city at the mouth
Of the Hudson. In accordance with
this theory, the plan Of campaign for
the House Of Representatives has
been laid down, and practical work
begins next Monday, at the opening
Of September.
In the campaign of 1910 the re-
publicans won only one member Of the
house Of representatives from the en-
tire City Of New York, although they
had several from that town in the pre-
vious house. It is assumed, Of course,
that the republicans will do better in
1912, in New York and elsewhere,
than they did two years ago. In the
whole state Of New York the repub.
licans elected only fifteen congressman
out OF the the thirty'seven. New
York will have six more members in
the house to be chosen this year than
Ii. had in the one elected in 1910.
AS a president is also TO be elected
this year, the stake in the contest will
be much greater than i. was then, and
it is to be presumed that practically
every republican will go to the polls
this year. 1t was the stay-at-home
vote which hit the republicans two
years ago. It was a republican set
back, but it was not a democratic
victory.
A factor which will aid the repub-
licans in their congressional canvas:
in the east is the strong fight which
they will make for president in thai
region. New England and the old
. Middle States are to be thoroughly
covered by the spellbinders sent ou
5 by the national committee. While
their work will primarily be for tht
presidential ticket, the fortunes o
: every republican congressional can
t didate in both groups Of states vii
be aided thereby. This indirect he'll
4 will permit the congressional commit
!, tee to concentrate its work on tn
west, and the fight is likely TO b
S made livelier than any contest whic
S has been seen in this region in recer
!. times. Globe Democrat.

Short Course in DairyiHg.

The rapid development Of the dairy
and creamery interests in Missouri has
created a demand for large number
Of trained men who understand every
detail Of the business. To meet this
demand the College Of Agriculture has
arranged TO give short course in dairy
ing. The course will train men to
manage creameries and large private
diaries. 1t will include the elements
Of dairying; milk production; testing
Of milk, cream and butter; dairy bac'
teriology, creamery buttermaking and
