AGREAT deal has been said within
The last few weeks, both in private
conversation and public print, in re-
gard to the duties Of the newspaper
in reference to public men. We con-
slider that it is the duty of every
newspaper to keep its readers posted
in regard to the acts. of public ser
wants. 1t is the duty of the news
paper to show up corruption and
fraud wherever it exists. "a public
office is a public trust" The Office
holder, when dishonest, should be
shown up. The newspaper should
not protect its friends and show up
its enemies. The newspaper has no
business with the private affairs ,pri-
waite family or private life of the
public servant. The official life OF
every officer should be an open
book.

Herbert Walsh in the September Forum.
The specific remedy for the serious
abuse existing in the irresponsible
and fraud-concealing methods pur-
sued by political campaign commit
tees will be found in the enactment
of laws in all the states, possibly also
of a Federal law, requiring political
committees to publish at the con-
clusion ola campaignfull statements,
duly attested before a notary, giving
an account of all money received
and disbursed by them in the prose-
eution of their work. It is not suf-
ficient to make such a requirement
of a candidate, as is done by the
New York law it should be required
Of committees, for with these the
main danger Turks. Michigan has
such a law, which is part of that
States new and excellent ballot-re-
form Law. Massachusetts,, thanks
to the untiring devotion and ability
of her strong band OF reformers, af-
ter several hltile attempts, obtained
an excellent law during the past
winter. This went into operation.

JUICE GIBSON, of Kansas City,
who was defeated for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor of
Missouri, says he thinks that with
out doubt Stone viii defeat Warner
by about 10000 votes and that tie
Democrats are thoroughly organi.-
ed. The people are tired of w,r
taxes and are unwilling longer 10
pay SIS for a suit of clothes which
they should get for SIS. The Demo-
Gratis are not alone in their opposi-
ton to the force bill. Many bus
ness men who are Republicans are
afraid of its effect should it become
a law. The passage of this measure
would be the first nail in the coflin
of popular government. The bust
ness community is against any law
which is a thrust at our Republican
institutions that have been handed
down to us by the fathers. Tho
Republicans having Endorsed this
revolutionary measure in their plat
form can not now dodge the issue
they themselves have raised. This
bill is the essence of centralized
power which the people fear. You
can always trust the people. All
political power should be left with
the people where it belongs. Wer,
| a Republican my love of country
would impel me to oppose the pas
sage of all laws, such as the one in
question, that take political power
from the people and place it in the
hands of federal officials who render
no account to the people. The fur
Their we get from the people the
nearer do we approach monarchical
government. Men should not sink
the patriot in the partisan. Yes,
Stone viii beat Warner 40, 900 votes
and Jackson county will help do it
by a good majority. For twenty years
the taxpayers have been standing
up for Missouri by paying $14 ,000,-
600 OF Indebtedness fraudulently
saddled upon them by the Republi-
can party when in power. When
the Democracy assumed control of
the State our debt was $21 ,OOO, 900.
1t is now less than $1,000, 900. MOI
must it be forgotten that for all this
immense debt the people ofthe State
received not one cents considera-
ton, not a penny. The people of
the State will stand up for Missouri
and theD Democratic party and against
the force bill by 10000. Mark the
prediction. 1 shall do all that lies
in my power for Mr.. Stone and the
entire Democratic ticket and my
friends will do likewise. Stone is a
clean, pure and upright man and
enjoys the confidence of Democrats
and Republicans alike. The people
are for him.
