Doubling Republicans who desire
to know why Democrats are so sure
Of victory this fall are respectfully re-
ferred to the address of Congressman
Reilly, at the opening Of the Connecti-
cut convention says the Republic. He
declared for free foodstuffs and raw
materials, high tax on luxuries and
a moderate one on manufactures, and
asserted that on its record for economy
and progressiveness the Democracy
would win whether the standard bear
er was Clark, Wilson, Harmon, In
derwood or some other Democrat.
Democrats are united on a common
economic and governmental policy, and
ready to get together under any one
of group of strong leaders now be-
fore the people. The Republicans are
without creed or policy, and divided
between two highly necessary and
ferociously incompatible men. 1t is a
Democratic year.

This was Democratic prediction

This prediction promise, along
with nearly every other one made by
the Democrats on the stump in the
last campaign, has been fulfilled. The
Democratic House of Representatives
has just passed the Shackleford
amendment to the Postoffice appro-

the people of the country have fur.
nished more than half of all the
money collected by the government.
Neither the states nor the national
government will be the loser by gen.
erous expenditure for public road
construction, for the money will ulti-
mately come back through the in
crease in the taxable value of farm
lands. Nor is that the only way it
will come back. Whatever makes
for the agricultural development of
the country also aids other industries
in the land. All classes rely upon
good crops, and the transportation of
same at economical cost for pros

Mr.. Roosevelt wants to know why
Taft delayed the filing of the suit
against the Harvester Trust. The
reason is very plain. 1t is given in
recent press dispatch so plainly that
he who runneth may read. The Gov
eminent was simply waiting to see
the result of the case made by Attor-
ney General Major of Missouri against
the Harvester Trust. AS soon as
Major won that suit the Department
of Justice very promptly wrote the
Missouri Attorney General for copies
of his briefs and records. And then
the Government promptly filed its
suit. Mr.. Taft was merely waiting
for Democratic Attorney General to
show him how to do the work. Re

A STATEMENT.

o had not intended to notice the full
limitations signed by James Cowgirl
State Treasurer, and published in the
Bates County Democrat and other
Cowherd papers in the State, holding
me responsible for an editorial which
appeared in The Times, April 18th,
giving reasons why this paper is sup
porting General Elliott w. Major in
stead of Mr.. w. S. Cowherd, and
would not now except for another
communication in the Democrat over
the nom de plume "A Cowherd for
Governor Democrat" which, after
asserting that Mr.. Cowgill's article
"abundantly" annihilates The Times
arguments proceeds to point out ap-
parent inconsistencies of my present
attitude with my former support of

dates.

express personal opinion on any
public question I will not hesitate to
sign my name to the article. It is
beyond my comprehension why Mr..
Cowgirl persisted in directing his an

attention to the fact that the article he
was attempting to answer was not a
signed communication, but an editor

Boone County Investigates.

A Boone County committee is trav-
cling to distant State to inspect some
recently constructed concrete roads.
Boone County is showing the proper
spirit:
One mile of permanent roadway,
built for service and endurance, is
better than ten miles of the temper
airy makeshifts which in this country
are usually called public roads. Con-
crete may not be the best form of
permanent road construction, but
whether it is or not the people of
Boone County propose to find out.
If they think it worth while they will
give it trial, and if the experiment
proves satisfactory other progressive
Missouri communities will doubtless
follow the example.
Although the expense of concrete
construction is great when considered
from the viewpoint of first cost, the
ultimate cost is greatly diminished
when the items ofannual depreciation
and cost Of repairs are figured in.
AT any rate the heaviest burden the
average rural community can possibly
assume is an impossible highway

eral government for the use of roads
traversed by carriers in the rural free
delivery service, and is divided into
three classes, as follows:
Glass "A"-The highest form OF
improved road in the country, for
which it is proposed to pay $25 per
mile per year.
Class ''B"-A thoroughfare of high
quality, but not equal to Class "a, "
for which it is proposed to pay so
per mile per year.
Class ''C'-The ordinary dirt road
of the country, somewhat improved,
for which it is proposed to pay SIS

for fake commissions like the Canad-
ian boundary commission-which ex-
lists solely to provide soft berths for
lame duck politicians like Tawney of
Minnesota-is growing rapidly through
out the country. For many years,
too, the people who live in the farm
ing communities, and in the smaller
cities and towns, have felt that too
much Of the public money was being
spent in the large cities. In the last

lie revenue has been spent in the

ial Of The Times, and he changed hi
article for that paper to that effect. j
The Times will continue to exercise
its right to support for a Democratic
nomination any candidate it sees fiji
: and proper without apology, but il
always endeavors, as in this instance,
to give good and sufficient reasons fol
; its course. So far those reasons have
not been successfully controverted,
as the reading and thinking public
well know.
Neither Judge Cowgirl, nor the late
writer in the Democrat correctly
states the position assumed by The
Times editorial. They claim that it
was because "of the defeat of Mr..
Cowherd by Governor Hadley four
years ago." It was not the fact of
the defeat, but because Mr.. Cowherd
proved weaker than the balance of
the nominees on the same ticket by
nearly twenty thousand votes.
Iplead guilty, as charged by the
above writer, of having voted for the
nomination of both Mr.. Cleveland in
1892, and Mr.. Bryan in 1908, as DEL
egate in the Chicago and Denver
Conventions from the Sixth District,
but the mistake of nominating Mr..
Bryan latter he had been defeated
in 1900 by the largest popular major
ity ever given a Presidential nominee
and by a majority of 1877 votes in the
Electoral College" needs no further
elucidation and clearly points moral
at this time.
The Times is especially friendly to
Mr.. Cowherd, as is the writer, we
admire his great ability and many
manly qualities and if the party sees
fit to nominate him, no party in the
State will give him more loyal sup
port. But for the reasons stated, l do
not think he should be nominated this
time. l concede the right to any
Democrat to disagree with me and l
will not find fault with his course.
