Tho Great State Seal

Perhaps no, everyone is familiar
with the Great Seal Of the State Of
Missouri, says the independence Ex'
aminer. Perhaps some would not
even recognize it. A copy Of the
seal Of the State in colors is found on
one Of the three stasned glass windows
in the circuit court room in Indepen-
dence, on the north side, above the
judges bench. Two black bears form
a part oil the central figure and the in
inscriptions are appropriate TO the pa
triotic thought Of the day. The St.
Louis Star tell how the seal was con-
ceiyed and adopted:
Governor Alexander McNair, in a
message to the First General Assembly
dated ST. Charles, Mo-, November 6,
1921, called attention to the need Of a
State seal, and urged the Legislature
to adopt by enactment devices for
the same. A select committee con-
sisting oi Messrs. Smith, Alcorn and
Elston was appointed, Chauncey
Smith being chairman, which drafted
and reported a bill TO provide for de-
vice for an armorial achievement fol
the State Of Missouri. The bill wa:
passed by the Legislature and signed
by the Governor, January II, 1922

One Hundred Years From Now

One hundred years ago the sun shone cleaI
and bright,
And countless millions living then enjoyed
its heat and light,
Some lived for selfish pleasure, others
suffered pain and woe,
But where are now the millions Of hundred
years ago.
The same sun shines US bright as in tie
days OF y0re;
The same moon rules the night, and shed,
light as before.
The same old ocean rolls, nor stops its ebb
End dow,
But where are now earth's millions of .
hundred years Igo7
One hundred years from now the sun will
rule the day,
The silyery moon and stars will chase dark
night away,
But Father lime, The reaper, to whom al
Aesh must bow,
VIII gather bis full harvest in a hundred
years from now.
One hundred years from now, we all Shal
be at rest,
Sleeping peacefully, serenely, on Mother
Earth's kind breast
We vii! have crossed the border and beer
stricken from earth's list,
Other men will I'LL our places, and we vii
not be missed.
But still old Mother Earth will continue
to ierolve,
And other generations will lite's problem
try to solve.
The sun will shine as bright, and on The
swaying bough
Birds will warble melodies a hundred year:
from now.

Tho Way Of Politics

The Legislative committee went
over the books and affairs OF the
Missouri State peniteniiary recently
and the report was not at all 0attering
TO the warden, Loose management was
indicated and nepolism came in for
another share OF the blame. Contin-
uing its work the committee is nov

siit down TO the usual petty abuses Of
Of political power where the handling
Of institutions Of tax paying interest
are concerned.
As long as the management Of state,
County or City institutions is held 10

offered. Jackson County Is too lamil-
lar with such matters on big scale 10

at the State penitentiary.
The shame Of political management
for State Asylums, State Schools,
State prisons is a blot on Missouri.
To our shame we must acknowledge
that we are among the most backward
OF the States. Abuses exist In Mis-
souri which heve long ago been amend
ed in other places. As long as we
permit the members Of the legislature
to be appointed by the politicians the
State law making body will respond to
the wishes oi the politicians and there
is no chance ol taking institutions
which spend hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars q year away from the spoils.

The whole thing resolves itself right
back TO the people who complacently
vote the straight ticket and pay taxes
without grembling. There are ap-

Overflow Corn Land May hs Replanted

DESPITE the fact that the recent
heavy rains and high water have flood
ed much corn land there is still time
for Missouri farmers to grow crop,
according TO l.. +. Childers, assistant
professor Of agronomy at the UniverS'
ity OF Missouri.
1T is not TO late TO plant corn, il
the right varieties are used," said Mr.,
Childers. "Reid's Yellow Den, and
Iowa Silver Mine will mature in from
lis 10 100 days, II fields can be
replan,ed by June Is or 20 these
varieties will fit the season."
Mr.. Childers says that the average
date for the first killing frost in North
Missouri is October 10 TO IS and in
South Missouri from October Is 10 %,
He says Il would be a serious mistake
to plant either a later maturing corn
or an extremely early one when there
is but four months in which the corn
can grow.
"Nineiy-day corn will on the aver
age yield so per cent less than Reds

il would not be advisable 10 plant
that until after June 20 or later," +"
said Mr.. Childers.
When planting corn under the
present conditions il would be a
mistake to put it In deeper than one

A BlunderbHs Tariff

The recen, court decision defeating
the provision for a S per cent discount
on duties on merchandise imported in
American vessels, and by extending
the discount TO all imports, thus putting
hole to the amount OF millions Of
dollars into the treasury, accentuates
the blunderbus character OF the demo
cratic tariff bill. This discriminating
discount feature was inserted expressly
to give that advantage TO American
vessels as an encouragement to our
merchant marine, and in pursuance Of
the declaration in the Baltimore plat
form favoring restoration OF the Amer
ican flag to the seas. But no sooner
was the law enacted, and its prospective
failure to produce the needed revenue
foreshadowed, than the democratic at
,orney general declared this section in
operative, and the democratic customs
officials proceeded to collect the full
duties regardless whether imported
in American or foreign vessels, so the
blunder was either in the democratic
formulation OF the law or the demo
cratic administration Of it.
The setback in the S per cent dis
count is not the only defect Of demo.
cratic tariff making. The income tax
section has not only fallen short Of
estimates ci probable proceeds, but is
likewise keeping the courts busy de.
cyphering Just what is meant. A large
corps Of experts have been needed to
construe the questions oi deductions,
and then without complete success,
and the income tax schedule will ad-
mittedly have to be patched up by
supplementary legislation. Many other
matters Of perhaps minor importance
to the government, but Of real moment
TO the importer or home manufacturer,
arising through obscurities Of wording
or crude requirements, are constantly
making trouble, and additional blum
ders are being disclosed from time to
time.
The unacceptable conclusion is that
as tariff builders the democrats not
only follow plans drawn on wrong prin-
ciples, but likewise are faulty in CON
struction and workmanship, 10 the cost
