The Public Not Interested.

From the Montgomery County Leader
The Democracy of Missouri cares
but little as to the personal opinions
of Sam Cook, George Robertson or
Bob White of each other. The con-
troversy of Cook and Robertson was
of no benefit, especially when It be-
came personal. The silver club OF
Mexico undoubtedly did wrong to
resolute on the subject.

Evil For Good.

From the Shelbina Democrat.
s. B. Cook, of the Mexico Intetii-
gencer, has reversed the direction of
the great Christian teacher and re-
turns evil for good. The Democrat
had an editorial in its issue of Sept.
1st headed, "More Charity Needed"
in which we mildly criticised the
Bryan Club, of Mexico, and some
Democratic papers for denouncing
Bob White simply because he allowed
someone, through the columns of the
LEDGER, to pitch into Sam Cook. 1t
contained no word of criticism of the
fntelligencer or Sam Cook; on the
contrary, it said "Sam Cook is a good
Democrat and we admire him, but he
is no better Democrat than is Bob
White. There is nothing of the hypo-
critic about either"
For this the Daily Intelligencer of
Sept. 11th comes out with three
fourths of a column of abuse of the
editor of this paper, and many of the
statements therein made are wholly
untrue. This we call returning evil
for good. We shall not initiate him
even to the extent of returning rail-
ing for railing.
We ask, is this the way for the
Chairman of the State Committee to
build up the party? Is this the way
to secure Democratic success?
Again, the Columbia Herald and
Centrala Guard use stronger terms
along the same line than did the DEM
ocrdt. Will the Intelligencer also
abuse the editors of those papers?
We believe Democrats generally con-
denim the action of the Bryan Club
at Mexico. Editors of Democratic
papers have a right to open the col
umns OF their papers to the criticism
of anyone. IL this criticism Is unwar-
| ranted the people will discover 1t.
If, in our arguments, the position We
took wss not good, why doesn't the
Intetligencer controvsrt them and no
simply dodge the issue, and produes
nothing but abuse and statement
easily shown to be untrue?

Gov. Stephens as q Flnancier.


The people of Missouri have again
cause to congratulate themselves upon
having elected to the highest office
within their gift a man who can cope
with emergencies that might embarrass
the credit and financial standing of
the State. Governor Stephens demon
strated his cleverness as financier on
previous occasions, both as the States
treasurer and in private matters, but
his crowning work in this line was
brought out in the achievement Of a
triumph which four months ago SEEM
ed quite impossible. For several years
some difficulty has attended the task
of making revenue and expenditure in
State matters meet because of the re-
duced rate taxation for State purposes,
a matter to which Governor Stephens
alluded in his inaugural message.
When the legislature last winter re-
fused to agree on measures which
seemed absolutely necessary to pro-
tect the credit of the state, the admin
istration was left to confront an ap-
parently certain deficit. But Gov
ernor Stephens determined upon
measures of economy, and he, ag well
as other executive officers, addressed
themselves vigorously to the details
of income and expense, the governors
long experience and extensive infiu-
ence in financial circles being especial
ly valuable at this juncture. Now he
is proud to say to the people of Mis-
souri, that, without pleading deficit
or calling special session of the leg
islature, that he promises emphatically
the payment OF every warrant upor
the state treasury. He has sustained
the credit of Missouri and his an
nouncement brings feeling of reliei
to the taxpayers of the state.

where tho public Is directly concerned In
the overcapitalizatlon OF corporations
Companies easily learn this trick. A
street car company will have 100000 worth
of property. for example. and on that cap
italization pay 20 per cent. This would
look too prosperous--tho public might want
a reduction OF fare or better service. The
company, therefore, is capitalized at 81 $780,
600 or s2,00o,0o0 and the profits show up
at only or per cent. Thon the cry Of
poverty Is raised and the public must wait
for improvements or concessions.
II will thus be seen that 1t is to tho inter-
est of the people to have the capitalization
OF corporations. and especially OF tho great
trusts. fairly represent the actual proper
ties MIR. Searles Is drawing upon his I'M
asination for state OF affairs which does
not exist when he contends that this par
ticular matter does not affect the relations
