Two thousand years of Christian era has piven no better way. By such a law the Democratic party in Bates county is willing to stand judgment for {ts management of county affairs for the past thirty years, When the Democrats came {nto power in 1873 they followed the reign of Republicanism that had left the county in debt, taxes exhorbi- tantly high, immense railroad bond- ed debts fraudulently saddled upon & number of the townships by a cor- rupt county court. A Republican ) sheriff and collector had defaulted ; for more than thirty thousand dol- lars, part of which was recovered to the people by an honest and efficient Democratic county clerk Voters were intimidated and driven away from the polls by armed ruffiians. Surely the fruit prejudged the tree, and the people arose in their might and the change was made, Under Democratic rule in a few years the county was out of debt, taxes were lowered year by year and atill the revenues were sufficient to meet ali legitimate expenses and me internal finprovements ae they were needed, A splendid system of substantial bridges span our streams and not a year passes but what new ones are being built, and old ones kept in repair, which system will be continued under Democratic admin- istration. We have a finestonecourt house, commodius, convenient, and modern throughout,. where the records of our county are safe, and which is a source of gratificationand pride to every citizen of the county, and which was constructed and fur- nished without the semblance of a graft, and every dollar honestly ac counted, all within the limits of the appropriation. What would be thought of the husbandman who would cut down the tree that was bearing the best fruits in all his orchard, and replant it with seed from @ tree which had rest did not mind them much. ae su re-seeosamonnteccm Editorial, Post-Dispatch. On August 7 the Post-Dispatch published a page giving the records of Col. Walbridge in the house of delegates, the council and the may- or's office. The records showed that the present Republican candidate for governor, during his entire official career 1n this clty, not only failed to oppose, denounce or expose the boodle combines and machine gangs which were plundering the city, but actually worked with them.

Cook, writing to a Belton citizen says: “I think one of the beat records the Democratic party has/ ever made is the assessment of cor- porations, These compared with the assessment by other states, show how the Democratic party has kept , down taxes on individual property by making corporations bear their just proportion of this burden. The present state board of equalization has increased the assessment of steam railroads and public service corporations during the four years just past, nearly thirty million dol- lars. The steam railwaysalone have been increased more than $2,000 per mile. The Lexington & South- ern branch of the Missouri Pacific, which runs from Cassville to Joplin has been increased by the present board $3,757 per mile, or a total for county of nearly $100,000. I think it you would look at your farm as- sessmente you will find that there has been practically no increase during the corresponding period. At least there has been none in my section Looking Into the Future. “TI guess I might as well quit school pa,” said the boy. “Why, my sov?” “Oh, there ain’t any use going, ex- cept to be able to help my little boy when I grow up, and if they have changed the way of doing things since you werea boy so that you can’t help me now, it’slikely I'm just wast- ing my time getting ready to hely my little boy.” He got the help he wanted, but it wasa good thing he didn’t hear what his father had to say about new fangled school after he had gone SKN ORS been previously condemned because | been set for those trips. ished, yet Col.
