STATE TREASURER DEAL
SAVES STATE $24S,S27 9s
ON STATE INTEREST

State Treasurer Deal also furnishes
us the following statement, showing
how his policy of banking the State
revenue increased the interest earned
by the State $248,827.53 more than it
did under the Republican Treasurer's
administration, thus showing the care
full and economical outstanding of the
States revenue:
Upon this administration going in
to office we found the State depository
laws in the following conditions: The
money was let out in one-twentieths
every four years, which amounted to
about $260,000,00 to the goth at that
time, thereby barring all county banks
from bidding upon same, as none of
them could handle that amount. Up
on my recommendation, the Legisla-
ture divided it up into one-eightieths,
which made it about $65, 100000 to the
80th. Also, upon examining the Sc
curities required by law we found that
outside of three financial institutions
or whereabouts that no other institu-
tons could comply with the States
requirements, and knowing that there
is no better security on earth than
Missouri real estate, recommended to
the Legislature to accept municipal
bonds of cities of 1000 population or
more, levee bonds worth not less than
par, drainage bonds worth not less
than par, and deeds of trust on prop
erty worth double the amount. This
they did, which enabled me to in
crease the rate of interest at the final
letting of the States moneys from
2.99 IL per cent, which Gmelich re-
ceived, to 3.79 IL per cent on daily
balances, which | am now receiving.
This amounts, during the four year
term of office, to $24S,S27.53 more
than Gmelich received, and scatters
the money throughout the State,
where it properly belongs. This does
not take into consideration the funds
belonging to the building of the new
Capitol, which would amount to $242.-
366.S4 up to September 1, 1916, which
has been credited to the Capitol Build
ing Fund.

WHAT HOME PEOPLE THINK
OF JOHN L. SULLIVAN


Inc following, touching upon the
candidacy of the Democratic nominee
for Secretary OF State, appeared as
the leading editorial in the Scdalia
Daily Democrat, his home paper, Au-
gust 9Th:
A Pettis County Candidate.
For the first time in many years
Pettls county has candidate for a
state Office in the person OF John l..
Sullivan, who was nominated at the
recent primary for Secretary Of State.
1t is q general custom for party
members and the party press in ev-
cry county to rally to the support of
its own candidate, and oftentimes this
is done only as matter of local pride,
ard it frequently has happened that
many a candidates nome supporters
have been hard put to give good rea-
sons Tor endeavoring to win a victory
for him.
1t is matter of genuine gratifica-
ton, therefore, that Fettis county is
not called upon in supporting John L..
Sullivan to seek for good reasons for
that support. These good reasons are
so abundant and are known so gem
orally that it is almost work of SUI
pererogation to call attention to them
IN this community where he lives.
But for the benefit of those through
out the State who nave not been priv
llleged to know Mr.. Sullivan and who,
therefore, lack knowledge of his at
tributes, and the nigh qualification he
possesses for the office he seeks, it
cannot be amiss for mis- home paper
to call attention to them.
Mr.. Sullivan is an anomaly in poll
tics, in that while as deputy county
tax collector and as county tax col
lector he fulfilled the duties of the
positions with the strictest fidelity to
his trust and knew neither friend nor
foe in discharging his official obliga-

SOCIALIST BENSuN'S OPINION

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 20.--Af-
ter completing transcontincntal
campaign tour ana ceiling out public
sentiment from coast - coast, Alien
L. Benson, Socialist candidate for
President, predicts the reelection of
President Wilson.
On reaching San Francisco he was
interviewed by The Bulletin, which
quotes him as follows:
''The tendencies of the voters, as
have observed them, all incline to-.
ward the reelection of Mr.. Wilson
If Mr.. Hughes is permitted to talk
long enough he will do for Mr.. Wilson
all that the President can't do for
himself. Mr. Hughes is trying to get
the solid millionaire vote, and / think
he will succeed.
"Mr. Hughes was always a handy
man for the Rockefellers. He went
to church with them and taught a
Bible class there. When he became
Governor of New York he vetoed the
2-cent fare bill, which was so bitter
ly opposed by the Rockefeller rail
roads, and tried to prevent the rati-
fication of the income tax amend
ment."

BELGIAN CHILDREN
STILL HUNGRY

To the Editor of The Times, Farming
ton, Mo.
Dear Sir:-Once again and for the
third successive year crave the pub
licity of your columns in behalf of
helpless children in Belgium. The
Dollar Christmas Fund of which / am
treasurer wants to make a still more
urgent appeal than in the two previous
years simply because the need is more
urgent.
Mr.. Hoover, the head of the Relief
Commission for Belgium, has drawn
attention to the facts of the case and
emphasized the positive necessity of
the children receiving one square
meal a day served at school. Under
existing arrangements necessitous
persons in Belgium-there are about
three million of them-receive one
third of soldiers ration, just
enough to keep body and soul to-
gether. The Belgian people as a ma
ton, bruised and broken by the tragic
experiences of war, are feeling the
tremendous strain most severely but
the alarming scourge of tuberculosis
and other forms of disease due to i'm
paired vitality has been felt most of
all by the little ones.
All impartial witnesses who have
had the chance of seeing conditions
for themselves in Belgium have re-
ported that the children there cannot
grow to healthy maturity unless they
are provided with more food. Money
cannot compensate for the loss Of
Belgian cities lately radiant with the
splendor and glory of centuries or
the loss of life, but money can at
least supply one square meal day
during the winter months. That is
just what the Dollar Christmas Fund
is striving to secure.
Our Committee is cooperating now,
as in previous years, with the Com
mission for Relief, thereby safe
guarding against all waste. The
same representatives and prominent
citizens who backed our appeal in the
first year are still with us lately re-
inforced by the names of Mr.. Oscar
Straus and Sir Herbert Tree. Mr..
Percy Bullen of 66 Broadway, New
York, from whom authorized collect
ing cards can be obtained is again
our honorary secretary.
Hitherto the response to our Christ
mas appeal has always been prompt
and generous and our donations are
accepted by the sufferers in Belgium
as a special Christmas gift from one
people to another, tangible proof
that Christmas good will even in these
days of strife and bloodshed has not
disappeared from earth. All donations
sent to myself as treasurer, care of

IMPORTANCE OF CARING
FOR CHILDREN'S TEETH

A recent investigation made by the
u. S. Public Health Service in connec-
ton with studies of rural school chill
dren showed that 1913 per cent had
defective teeth, Oil per cent had two
or more missing teeth, and only 1863
per cent had had dental attention,
Over ID per cent never used tooth
brush. 58.2 per cent used one occa
sionally and only 274 per cent used
one daily. Defective teeth reduce
physical deficiency. Dirty, suppurat
ing, snaggle- mouths are re
sponsible for many cases Of heart di-
sease, rheumatism and other chronic
affections. The children are not re-
sponsible for the neglected state Of
their teeth. The ignorant and care
less parent is to blame for this con-
dition---a condition which hampers
mental and physical growth and puts
permanent handicap on our future
citizens. School teachers can and are
doing much in intoxicating habits Of
personal cleanliness on the rural school
child, but this will fail Of the highest
accomplishment unless parents Co
operate heartily and continuously.
This is duty which we owe our chill

Of personal taxes if the incumbent
wished to secure reelection, but Mr..
Sullivan believed he was elected to
collect taXes-and he collected them.
AS result there are hundreds of men
paying personal taxes in Sedalia who
never before knew what it was to
contribute their rightful share to the
cost of government. And, strange as
it may seem, these men, recognized

Partially of the collector, became his
fast friends and joined in re-electing
him when he sought a second term.
They are still his friends and not a
one of them but would be glad to see
him Secretary Of State Of old Mis-
scuri.
John L. Sullivan was born in Soda
La Of humble parents, and even as a
school boy he was called upon to con-
tribute to the family eXchequer. He
earned his first money selling Dem
ocrats on the streets and afterwards
carrying newspaper route. Fin
ishing school, where ne won a repu-
tation for diligence and serious efforts
to benefit from his studies, he began
life's real struggle by driving a de-
livery for Mckinley Bros, grocers,
and was faithfully filling this posi-
tion when Emmett Mcclure selected
him for deputy collector He was Mr..
McClure's right hand man for two
terms, and when Mr.. Scott was elect
ed to the office he took a place in the
Crawford Mercy Abstract Office, serv-
ing acceptably until. his friends insist
ed that he become a candidate for col
lector. He was still a very young
man then, almost too young, he
thought to make the race, but the de-
mand was so strong that he consent
ed, was elected, and for eight years
made record unsurpassed in the his
tory of the county.
That's his career. Open to all the
world, and it is upon this that he de-
ponds for the support of his ambi-
tons to go higher in the public SER
vice.
The voters in the primary measured
the man correctly. With his splendid
equipment for the place, his sense of
the obligations resting upon public
officials, his fairness, his honesty, his
faithfulness to duty, and his strong
and winning personality, there will
come to him such support as will
make his election certain.
The Democratic party presents him
to Missouri, confident that he will be
credit to the Democratic party and
all the people of the great common
wealth.

IS HUGHES ELIGIBLE?
Question Raised as to His Being Nat

United States

sequent act of his father, and that he
is not a natural born citizen within
the meaning of the Constitution"
Long referred to numerous cases Of
record where parents, with son born
in America, had returned to native
lands, and where the son had been
seized for military service upon reach
ing the proper age. In these cases
the right to seize a minor could not
be questioned. Had Hughes father
taken him back to England, Long
maintained, England would have had
such a right.
"If England had such right, and
it is not questioned" Long added,
"then the United States did not have
exclusive jurisdiction over him, and
he was not a natural born citizen in
the meaning of the Constitution"
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-10-27

"Hughes' right to hold the Office of
President presents an interesting IN
quiry, said Breckenridge Long,
prominent lawyer of st. Louis, at a
Democratic mass meeting in st. Louis
last Saturday night. "He was born
in this country and is undoubtedly
native born; but is there not a diff
ference between native born and
natural born? At the time he was
born his father and mother were sub
iects of England. His father had not
been naturalized. The day after the
son was born the father had right
to go to the English Consul at New
York, present his wife and infant and
demand any assistance he might need
from the British Government.
"The Constitution stipulates that
the President be natural BORN Ma

ally a part of. Following that line
of thought natural born citizen
would be one who at the time of his
birth was naturally part of the polit-
ical society. 1t would mean that no
other government had any claim on
him and that his sole allegiance at the
time of his birth was TO the Govern
ment in which he was born.
Was Born an English Subject.
"Jnder the Federal statutes, chill
dren born in this country become cit
izcns subsequent to the naturalization
of their father. They are then ma
tive born citizens. If the father be-
comes naturalized prior to the birth
of son, then the child is natural
born citizen

the court that the citizenship of the
father is that of the child Il Ruling
Case Law, 1867. Hughes Sr., in 1862,
was an English subject. There can
hardly be any dispute, under the law
quoted, that Candidate Hughes at the
time of his birth was an English sub
ject. If he at that time was an Eng
lish subject he became citizen of the
United States by a process of natu-
ralization and is not natural born
citizen of the United States.
Quotes Precedents on Case.
"Willoughby, in his work on the
Constitution, says: "A declaration of
a father of intention to become nat

tain their majority before the fathers

may be repudiated. This points clear

Office of State Treasurer,
Jefferson City, Missouri.


Jefferson City, Missouri.
October II, 1916,
Mr.. E, S. Carver, Grant City, Mo.
Dear Sir: In answer to yours of
the 18th, desire to say that at the
close of business on yesterday eve
ming I held as Treasurer of the State
of Missouri, $3,505, 1884 of State
moneys, of which $1,000,000.00 be-
longs to the Capitol Building Fund.
Like yourself, l have also heard about
money being borrowed from various
banks to pay school teachers. Per-
sonally l know nothing about this.
All ! can say is that every warrant
that has been presented to this Treas
ury Department has been promptly
paid. The State itself has not bor-
rowed one cent.
During my experience as Treasurer
| have found that the State is more
hard up during the months of Octo-
Der, November and December thar
during any other period of the
year, for the simple reason that it is
case of all out-go at that time anC
no income. There has been with.
drawn from the funds of the State fol-
the benefit of the public schools with
in the last 60 days about $2,200,0000(
in round numbers, and l also fine
that we have paid out during the
last year $986,O0O.0O on account of the
Capitol Building Fund.
By referring to the daily memo
randum on my desk find there was
in the Treasury one year ago today
1884, 051.00 and since that time there
has been disbursed from the Capitol
Building Fund $986,000.00, so you
will see that the Treasury today has
more money outside of the Capitol
Building Fund than it had at this time
last year.

Edwin P. Deal, Jefferson City, Mo.
Dear Sir: AT a Republican meet
ing held here Friday night a speaker
stated that the Missouri treasury is
practically empty and as a result the
teachers in our State educational in
stitutions are being paid with money
borrowed from private banks.

upon the treasury by any teacher in
any one of our educational State in

funds? Also, whether the State has
or is borrowing money from private
banks to meet any of its obligations?
