the end that every voter opposed to
this measure has gone to the polls
and deposited his vote.
The Gazette does not propose to
let up; we trust that not a single
farmer will be sparing of time and
work against this measure until it
receives the merited condemnation
of an overwhelming defeat at the
polls.
A voter who does not appear to
know where he stands upon this
question; who states that he does
not, as yet, thoroughly understand
the matter; who processes to be

both sides of the question before he

have appeared therein.
This may be true, but if so, our
readers will grow still more fatigued

continue to write of single tax until
Missouri voters kill it so dead, so
far as this state is concerned, that
it can no resurrection.

Their ForeheadS Too Low.

Some few of our partisan ex-
changes are saying words that d o
not sound like they came from "a =
tional beings. They declare that tn e
Republican party is the creator of
all good things and to throw it out of
power will precipitate a return of
hard times. Such low foreheaded
creatures are getting scarce and the
sensible man who knows enough to
comb his hair, is fully cognizant f
the fact that no political party is

Sinple Tax.

The Gazette has no farther excuse
to offer and is of the opinion that
no farther excuse is necessary for
its persIstently calling the attention
of its readers to the single tax
abomination, than that we believe
that if the taxpayers Of Missouri
who are opposed to this iniquitous
system do not rally to a man at the
polls on the fifth day of November
next, that they will find that this
amendment will have been adopted
and will have become a part of the
organic law of the state.
Even though we should prove to
be mistaken in regard to the
strength this proposed amendment
may develop at the polls; even
though there may be no danger of
its adoption, it will be well for Mis-
souri, voters to snow it under so
deep at the coming election that
the snow fall of ballots will never
melt and that it will never again
emerge from the avalanche.
Let it be disposed of now and
forever, so far as Missouri is con-
cerned. Let those who are oppos-
ed to its adoption keep up the fight

The plant consists of tanks placed

and many complaints are being made
concerning the odor and taste. This

solution used. When the first word
was received of the fever outbreak at

adopted heroic measures and placed
large quantity of the solution in
the water. While harmless, it is rath-

will soon disappear. Hereafter there
will be but a small quantity of the
