The PENSION DISGRACE.

II Is an incongruous and dsgraceful fact that as
the survivors Of the Civil War decrease in number
the governments pension bill towers all the higher
This year IL will approach two hundred million dol
lars although the war fought nearly half cen
fury ago and the majority Of it's participants are
dead. This item Of expense is greater now than it
was I'm 1900 and il promises to be vastly greater hve
years hence When and how shall we reach a limit?
There is little hope of the limit ever being reached
IL the cringng policy that controlled the majority Of
the House and the Senate and the President himself
IN the recent enactment Of the soealled dollaraday
pension bin Is to continue. This indefensibe meas
ure adds something like thirtyhye million dollars
aagrant Of all the inroads recently made upon the
treasury. It virtually utilities all the efforts of the
Democrats to cut down the governments prodigal
expenditures 1t fastens upon the people more tightly
stin the clutch of a system that is notorious for
the graft it makes possible.
Yet this measure supported by majority Of
both houses Of Congress- it signed by the presi-
dent without protest and. most amazing of all, it
was voted for by the Democratic speaker, Mr.
Champ Clark.
There can be but one explanation of the motives
that actuated at least the great majority of the
men who tolerated the passage of this bill. They
we're simply playing politics for the sake of votes.
Had this not been a presidential election year,
IL is doubtful that Mr.. Taft would have signed the
BILL For his position on this matter there is at
least vague extenuation, though a truly fearless
president would have vetoed it. But how can the
vote OF Speaker Clark leader in the party COM
mftted to retrenchment and reform, how his
surrender to political clap-trap be justified?

That is very satisfactory as far as
1t goes. Why should any good school
teacher be in any danger Of losing
her" place, or why should there
even be any apprehension about it.?
Prof. Jones has not taken the trou-
BILE to deny that he is cited as au-
thority for the statement that City
Supt. Powers. Prof Schreiber and
Prof. Fargo are slated for dismissal
That is what it amounts to because
for years all competent teachers
have simply been reelected. There
was never in the past a special
teachers committee created to con-
slider removals Prof Jones virtully
admits that he spoke by the card
and had information that the three
teachers named are slated for re-
moval. The public should take no
tice that this fact is now admitted
that it has been decided, and that
at not publicly held session of the
Board of Education,-that three of
the most prominent workers in our
public school system must be re-
moved without cause and without
charges of any kind being filed
agaist them, and one of these three
men is under a contract for another
year and engaged by the same men
who are said to be in favor of dis
missing him Furthermore, it is ad-
mitted that this decision was not
only reached, but was given out-at
least to so responsible a person as
Prof Jones. Now persons cannot
even be discharged from a well or

The Man For Governor.

One good way for the work
ing man to carry out his prin-
ciples is to ignore the four con-
sumers (the lawyers) who are
in the race for the gubernato-
rial nomination, and vote for
the one producer DANES A.
Houchin) on the 9th of August.
The tendency of the times is
toward a more businesslike adj
ministration of government af-
fairs. The sentiment of the
people at large substantially
proves this assertion. The
business candidate, Jas. A..
Houchin. is appealing forcibly
to every voter in the State and
hundreds are acknowledging
their Influence and support
daily by letter and verbal at his
st. Louis Headquarters. Get
in line on the winning side and
vote for him.
rThe strongest assurance of
the success o. q candidate for
office is the acknowledgment
of the press that he has the
qualities of a governor of the
people. Jas. A. Houchin, the
successful business candidate,
is exploited by newspapers
more than any other aspirant
for the greatest honor the citiz-
ems of Missouri can bestow upon
a man, the Governors chair.
The reason, he is the logical
candidate for a Democratic
term. The old time majority of
fifty thousand will be polled at
his election.
