Rural School Problem.

In the consolidated rural school ed.
ucators believe they have solved the
problem Of providing adequate educa'
tionol advantages for the poorer dis
tricts economically. By unifying sew
eral districts, erecting a modern school
building and getting high grade teach
ers, the rural children of many states
are receiving an education equal in all
respects to that had in the large cities.
This concentration Of revenue also
leaves an ample fund for modern com
forts and school equipment. The
children are provided with an omnibus
which takes them 10 and from school
each day. Thus better attendance
is assured, Children are collected

by Walter S, Dickey in December,
1908, just after the election Of Gov
Hadley. 1t has accumulated vast
store OF information and has furnished
from four to six columns OF political
reading matter every week since the
date Of its first dope sheet" No
other republican state organization has
successfully conducted a permanent
press bureau; nor has any such bureau
ever obtained so much publicity for
party matters, or furnished so much
ammunition to be used against the
opposite party,
The Headquarters Of the Missouri
republican state committee have been
maintained in the Holland building,
St. Louis, for four years. For a few
months during the administration OF
Chairman Walter S. Dickey temporary
headquarters were maintained at Kansas
City, but the press bureau was main
tanned at St. Louis.

How Political Parties are Organized.

This week the township committee
men elected at the primary last week
met and organized the party county
committees. The chairman OF each
county committee is by law a member
Of the district committees OF the con-
gressional, the senatorial and 'he Judi.
cial districts Of which his county forms
a part. Next Tuesday the chairmen
Of the counties composing each con-
gressional district will meet and or
ganize the congressional district COM
mittee. When thus organized the
congressional committee Of each dis
trict will select two members OF the
state committee. State committeeman
thus selected are required TO meet at
Jefferson City at noon on the second
Tuesday in September (the 10th day
Of the month this year, and organize
BY the election Of a chairman, who
shall be chairman OF the state com
mittee, and by the election Of a secre
tary and treasurer, and after having
so organized shall meet with the party
nominees for state officers, for con.
gressmen, for state senators and for
representatives, and forthwith formulate
a state platform for their party, and
make the same public not later than
six o'clock in the afternoon Of the fol-
lowing day."
Alter the organization ol a new state
committee all oi the books and records
ofthe former committee are surrendered
to the new, and the authority Of the
new chairman begins. So after Sept.
10 each party will have a new com
mittee, though not necessarily new
chairman, as the present chairman may
be reelected il willing 10 serve.
State headquarters for campaign work
are not usually established till the new
committee takes charge Of party affairs.
The republican state committee main.
tains permanent quarters at St. Louis
where secretary in charge" aids the
chairman in the work Of the party.
When the campaign opens additional
rooms are provided and large force is
employed BY the several bureaus then
established-the bureau Of publicity,
handling letters and literature, the
speakers bureau, assigning speakers
and arranging itineraries for them, the
executive bureau, including the chair
man, the secretary and the treasurer
Of the committee, and the press bureau,
which is permanently established aud
which supplies political information and
party dope" TO the republican news

Wilson and Wall Street.

Because prices on the New York
stock exchange failed to drop imme-
diately after Woodrow Wilson'S address
accepting the nomination was read,
this circumstance is interpreted by
some democrats as an indication that
business interests have no fear Of any
harmful legislation II their party should
carry the country this year. A specu'
lator here and there says the democratic
candidates tariff expression is favor,
able omen. Unlike his platform, he
does not say that tariffs for protection
are unconstitutional. AS writer OF
history he knows that a protective tariff
was passed by the first congress, in
1889, that it was supported by nearly
all the members Of that congress who
had also been members Of the conven-
tion which framed the constitution,
and that it had been signed BY the man
who presided over that body, George
Washington. Therefore Candidate
Wilson steered clear Of the error com
mitted by his platform makers in saying
that a protective assails the country's
fundamental law.
But there is another and widely diff.
ferent explanation Of the circumstance
that Candidate Wilson'S speech failed
to frighten the stock market. Probably
the astute business men Of the country
believe he will be defeated. Some Of
them remember how much stronger
Bryan was in August, 1896, than he
was in November Of that year. Those
whose recollection goes back as far as
1872 recall the circumstance that
Greeley swept the country in August
Of that year. Parker, who was
beaten by more than 2,S00,000 in the
popular vote in 1904, in August Of
that year felt so sure Of election that
cabinets for him began to be framed,
and the outlines Of his inaugural ad- |
dress we're said at the time to be under
serious consideration. Most Of the
democratic presidential candidates Of
the past hall century we're stronger in
midsummer than they were on election |
day. This is a fact which should be
borne in mind at this time when the
betting men seem to favor Wilson.
The country remembers that there
is a normal plurality Of over 100000
on the republican side in the popular
vote Of the country, and there is no !
good reason to suppose that the repub'
licans will lose enough votes this year
to allow the democrats 10 overcome that |
natural lead. No republicans will go
over to Wilson. Roosevelt will draw
votes from him as we'll as from Taft.
Wilson lacks the magnetism and the
eloquence Of Bryan. He lacks Bryan's |
strength in the West, and probably |
does not greatly exceed it in the east.
AS the days and weeks pass the posi-
bility Of a democratic sweep Of the
country gets less and less-Globe'
Democrat.

While the democrats are sore, con-
tentious and swearing vengeance the
republicans are delighted with the state
ticket they nominated. There is not
weak man on it. The candidate for
governor, John c. Mckinley Of Union
vile, is vote getter. His clear ma.
jority over two other candidates ex-
ceeds $4,000 and was given him by
such an even vote that it represents,
pre'eminenty, the choice OF the re-
publicans Of the state without reference
to any special issue. In fact Governor
Mckinley could not represent any
special issue. He is not built that
way. He is a man Of the people. No
clan, clique or class can rely on him for
special layors. He is a republican
and he will stand squarely on the plat
form OF his party. As to law, he will
enforce it. AS 10 legislation, he will
follow the promises and propositions OF
his party. No apologies or explana'
tions will be necessary. He made no
promises to organizations, factions or
individuals 10 secure the nomination,
nor will he make any to secure his
election. He will make his promises
only to the people Of the state-the
dwellers in cities and towns as to the
dwellers in villages and on farms.
The republican state tickets neither
hand picked or machine made. Every
man on it ran on his merits. There
was no machine slatc-not even an ad-
ministration slate. liGovernor Hadley
had any preferences he did not express
them. The democratic ticket stands
for this thing and for that, for this or
ganization and that, but primarily for
anything TO win" Il is machine
