A FEW weeks since I told you how
the thick-and-thin Republican states
men and newspapers would lie and
squirm, and squirm and lie again, con-
corning the increased taxation under
the Hyde administration. But, ex-
pert as they are in deception, they
can't get from under this time.
Illustrative of this I append these two
items:
A certain local Republican was tell
ing crowd of men on the street yes
terday that it was mistake about
taxes being higher this year than last
year-that his taxes this year are 1872
less than last year. On examination
OF the tax books we find the aforesaid
gentleman's taxes for this year are
$28 more than last year, and that the
taxes for both years remain unpaid -
Caruthersville Democrat Argus.
Sheriff Kirkendall got off the fol-
lowing last week: Billy met one of
his good Republican friends coming
out of the collectors Office at Benton
after paying his taxes. "Good morn

"What do you know this morninp?j
II only know two things for sure, =
said Uncle Jimmy, some is there will

THE cost of the 1921 State Fair and
Centennial at Sedalia was $4S6, ,S91,
according to an audit made by ex-
aminers for State Auditor Hackmann.
OF this amount $269, 900 came out of
the pockets of the taxpayers of the
state. The North American Fire
Works Company was paid $45, 1000 and
one of the chief features of it's pro-
gram was burning in fireworks the

RECENTLY policeman in st. Louis
in the course of official duty was shot
and killed. In this instance, the mur-
derer was known and apprehended
and slated for trial. He now offers
to plead guilty if he is let off with a
life sentence, and it is feared such a
compromise may be made. Why not?
1t would but be following precedent.
Another murderer several months ago
was let off with life sentence and he
is now ehaffeur to His Excellencey,
Gov. Hyde, with the chance of breath
ing the air of freedom in few years.
The poor fellow he killed in cold blood
while robbing him on the street of St.
Louis lies unavenged in a bloody
grave. So l think Commissioner
Miller's protest and his desire for the
extreme penalty in this case lacks
weight. A life more or less is but of
little moment; precedent is against
the Commissioner, and in law pre-
cedent is a mighty factor.

THIS is the way the New York Her
aid sizes it up:
For two or three years the purists
in Congress have viewed with horror
the alleged expenditures made by
Senator Newberry from his own purse
from his own purse, mind you-to
secure his nomination for the United

same men-these same purists, mind
you-who denounced Newberry in
bitterest and most scathing terms, are
themselves out for the purchase of
votes, but this time not with their
own money but with your money, Mr.,
Citizen. This is what jamming through
the bonus bill means, stated in cold
facts.

of the plutocratic East?

Athens, Greece. DR.. Lawrence r. Cole,
secretary of the board, said that the
degrees would be conferred upon the
first two named whenever it is con-
venient for them to visit the seminary
AS for the Greek Patriarch, he said, it
probably would be necessary to send
his to him, as they are much confused
in the Greek Church at present and
the Patriarch probably will not be able
to come to the United States again for
some time. He was in this country last
year and is known to most Of the Epis-
copal ministers in this section of the
United States.
There was reception by the faculty

Forbess thoroughbred bay gelding Cork
negotiated spectacular flights over the
fences in winning the Nora Saltonstall
Memorial Cup this afternoon in the
class for qualified hunters, the blue
ribbon number on the program of the

big bay over the barriers in such skill
full fashion that he was awarded the
blue over nineteen competitors, includ-
ing last years winner, the brown mare
Twilight, owned and mounted by Mr.
Elmer Jared Bliss jr. The jumping
was so good that the judges called four
other horses back to ride the fences
again, but Cork's original hurdles were
such that he stood out over them, and
they fought again for the other places.
Last years winners had little luck
to-day, so good was the competition.

Montgomery Rollins Memorial Cup

maines Pat Rooney had been declared
the winner in the open jumping class,
the last number on the card. Pat was
first in field that included Cork, Har
old, Twilight and Decoration, ribbon
winners in previous events.
Several accidents occurred, but no
one was seriously injured.
