The Force bill is dead beyond any hope
of resurrection, and its advocates should
make the best of the situation. 1t is use
less to quarrel with facts. More than

respects a representative Of the great State
Of Missouri, but il is gratifying to know
that he does not purchase and pay cash
for his seat in the Senate. He is not a

Office is an executive bureau. 1t does

is especjally true. since the reasons why
they are not coddled TO their liking are
plain and sufficient.

they contend only for the retention of

frighten Republicans into submission by
