DEMOCRATIC RECORD

jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. o.
The certificate just made by
State Auditor Gordon to Super
intendent of Schools H. A. Gass,
apportions the magnificent sum
of $1,613,47O.80 to the public
schools out of the state revenues.
The Democratic state admins
tration in addition to the above
named sum has appropriated
from the state revenues for
town, village and rural high
schools, teachers training cours-
es in the public schools, and for
supervision of district schools,
the further sum of 1896, 290.03.
From the same source this year
the state administration has ap-
propriated the further sum of
$3.50, 100000 for the rebuilding
of the Normal school, which was
burned early last spring, at War
rensburg. This unusually large
sum is $326,680.38 more than
was ever before given to the
public schools at any one time,
In the foregoing, no account is
taken of the many hundreds of
thousands being given for the
maintenance of the State Uni
versity, Normal Schools, Lincoln
Institute, and schools for the
deaf, dumb, blind and the moral
ly and mentally defective.
The record made by the pres
ent Democratic administration
in behalf of the public schools
surpasses all previous liberality,
Notwithstanding the representa-
tons being made by hostile
and mendacious partisan press
now working overtime in a vi
cious effort to discredit the DEM
ocratic party of this state. Mis-
souri, Democrats knowing the
truth, will be proud to proclaim
it.

What Scandal -.

Or scandal, the New Republic
writes: There are few OF us who do
not enjoy this sense of really know.
Ing what's what. 1t extends our eX-
perience, and gives us a vicarioGs i'm.
portaDce. II we cannot live great
passions, we can at least read about
Nine Du Barry's boudoir; if we can.
not be smart, we can at least feel
that we have an insiders knowledge
OF the smart set. The moral earnest
ness and deep attention which people
will devote to discussing other peo-
pies domestic affairs suggests that
gossip is perhaps genuine print
tive art In which there Is interest
through pity and fear and pride and
Joy. One woman leaves her husband;
hundred women chatter about it,
and their passionate interest might
make a cynic wonder whether they
are not living through all the emo
tons of a great adventure without
the risk Of moving away from their
own steam radiators. Gossip is ex-
perience without responsibility. 1T
is means OF taking part in inter
esting or important events without
any of the risk that comes of being
an actor in them. Gossip, in short,
Is the pleasure of the spectator at the
business O. life.''

American Literature.

~If one were asked what Is the DOM
inant tone in American literature and
life, the answer would be youthful
ness but this youth has attained all
the vices of age, and has conserved
a few Of the charms proper to It's
period. 1t is very disingenuous youth
indeed This insistence on 'boyish
ness is unhealthy; more, it is DE-
PRAYED. These boyish boys and girl
ish girls Of the writer and the artist
are the indications OF real cancer
In American public life. Perhaps in
portraying them the writer's and illus
traitors are describing something which
Is as true as it is detestable, The
cult of youthfuiness in America IS a
national calamity, far graver than
anything for which Europe has to
mourn. Youth has nothing to give
life but its energy; 1t has even less
to give literature, for literature is
an expression of the spiritual truth
which runs parallel with every mate
rial experience. 1t Is not tho retail
ing of petty gossip about petty peo-
pie; and when this youthful energy
is divorced from the control of ma
turity nobody can benefit from 1t ex.

whom American literature is now be-
ing written, james Stephens In the
