the assessment Of property upon its
actual value, which as may be readily
seen would have made the assessment
of each taxpayer three times greater
than it now is, and added the rather
vague proposition ito fix a rate Of
taxation sufficient to meet the re-
quirements of the State government"
General Major, Secretary Of State
Roach and Auditor Gordon promptly
voted the proposition down and
suggested to the governor that to
protect the taxpayer the rate Of
taxation should first be cut in proper
ton to the proposed increase in as
sessment, and cited the statute which
absolutely fixes the rate of taxation
for State purposes, which reads in
part as follows:
There shall be annually levied, as
sessed and collected on the assessed
value of all the real estate and person
al property subject by law to taxation
in this state fifteen cents on each hum
dred dollars valuation for state
revenue.
To change this rate would require
a special act of the legislature and
had Governor Hadley been sincere in
his alleged efforts to "reduce the
burden of individual taxpayers he
would have taken steps to have pro-
portionately reduced the rate before
attempting to multiply the burden by
three.
We have faint suspicion that the
Hadley editorial bureau will have
some difficulty in convincing the
people of Missouri that trebling their
taxes would make their burdens any
lighter. At least the Single Takers
have failed to convince them by the
use of the same arguments.

the White House a Chicago news
paper artist drew a picture Of a farm

The Harvester trust, which an
nually takes millions of dollars from
the farmers, sells binders in Russia

farmers of the United States are
charged $12O for the self same bind

effort was made to break up this
trust; which SO rankly discriminates
against and over charges the Ameri-
can farmer, and Mr.. Roosevelt secret
ly suppressed that effort by ordering
his attorney general not to start a
contemplated suit until he gave the
word he never gave. Mr.. Roosevelt
thus aided and abetted the one trust

through unproven charges or unveri-

That Mr.. Taft, by his own admis.
sion, has been "a man of straw"
thinking, primarily, of any benefits
that would come to the American
farmer and wage Garner, but that he
believed that reciprocity would make
Canada an "adjunct" to the United
States, which would transfer her
important business to New York and
Chicago" By his own confession
the president was thinking of the big
business interests when he was ad-
vocating reciprocity.
That George w. Perkins, organizer
of the harvester trust and member
of the board of directors of the steel
trust, and member of the board d.
rectors of the steel trust, was "highly
pleased" with the present administra-
tration's methods of prosecuting the
trusts. Theordore Roosevelt, as
evidenced by the fact that Perkins, in
a sworn statement to the Secretary
of State of New York, admits he
spent SIS, 900 to help Roosevelt in the
primary election in New York city
this spring, thus revealing that the
big interests would be perfectly salts

president.
That Mr.. Taft, in the present cam

A sad commentary upon the admin

patch from Jeffersan City, stating
that deputy state game warden had
spent two, days of his valuable time,
at $500 and expenses, in attempting
to capture the slayer of a woodpecker,
which was shot because of its persist
ence in pecking holes in a wooden
tank. The culprit not apprehend-
ed. Neither were the pot hunters

trust was an illegal combination in
restraint of trade, and later ordered
that a contemplated suit against that
trust be dropped until he gave the
word to start it," which word he
never gave.
That Mr.. Roosevelt's trip to Africa
was paid for by Andrew Carnegie,
the greatest beneficiary of a Republi-
can high tariff that ever lived.
That Mr.. Roosevelt was so fright
ened by the possibility of tariff agita-
ton during his more than seven
years of office that in all his messages
and official papers he never made
any mention of tariff except to say,
once, that he would discuss it in a
future message; which statement he
withdrew from the message before il
reached Congress.
If the present scramble for dele
gates continues a while longer it may
safely be said, therefore, that both
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt at the
present rate, will thoroughly demon
strate that neither Of them is fit to be
president.

THE ROOSEVELT

ASIDE from the we'll grounded belief that Roosc.
the main feature of interest to the South in his pro
proganda is his attitude toward the negro in politics.
Briefly stated it is that where the negro has a vote
like a v hiteman he is as good as a whiteman, but in
states where he cannot vote the Roosevelt party is a
whiteman's party.
Hancock, when running for president ut the head
of the democratic ticket in 1890, brought down upon
himself an avalanche of ridiculc by saying the tariff
was a local issue. Roosevelt now says in effect that
the enforcement of the Fifteenth amendment and the
the states. This position of his, however, eXcites no
ridicule, for however much by law and constitution
it is solely a federal question, the men Of the South in
effect have made it purely a matter of local govern.
ment and thus in fact a local issue.
For half a century the South has persisted in
claiming that the negro's best real friend was his
southern white neighbor, and his worst enemies were
those who strovc to make the negro dissatisfied and
ut war with his white n~eighbors. And now comes
Roosevelt in 1912, he of Indianola fame and the for
Ger of Crum on the people of Charleston, and practi
cally puts this in his platform and confession of
faith.
The same wisdom that urged Roosevelt to seize
upon the ten commandments and the moral law as
his political assets has operated on him to make this
other ancient truth a part of his political creed.
Taking all things into consideration Roosevelt is
turning out to be the South's best friend.

acting in a manner that dishonors God and misrep.
resents him in the world. There are men and women
in this church who perhaps would blush with shame
and flush with self humiliation if an oath should sin
from their lips, yet they take His name in vain by
their failure to properly represent God rightly before
the world. Hypocrisy is profanity. 1t disgraces
religion and drive men from God. Men whose name
is on the church register and whose registration there
is a public profession OF Christianity, are in the way
of Gods work here because their lives are out of har-
