Governor Stephens and His Work.

For some time past there has been
a disposition in certain quarters to
cruelty Gov. Stephens as "dishon-
est man and an smbezzler" It is
plain that the disgruntled gold
democrats have inspired the shame
ful attacks made upon the present
governor of Missouri. But we do
not anticipate that Gov. Stephens is
spending sleepless nights over the
matter. In the time that he has
served the people of the great State
of Missouri Governor Stephens has
shown exceptional ability as an off,
cial, and his friends are justified in
pointing with pride TO the record
made. The fact of the matter is
Gov. Stephens is one of the best
democratic governors Missouri has
ever had, q man whom men of all
parties delight to honor. All this 10
a healthy symptom for the demo-
cratic party and for the State. Gov.
Stephens has made the democratic
party progressive organization,
which attracts disinterested young
Missourians to it's ranks; and he is
at the present time engaged in the
very necessary work of building up
the party organization all over the
State.
OF all the democrats who had
previously been recognized in lead
ership in Missouri, Gov. Stephens is
about the only one who undertook
to organize and build the party up.

PoIitics In the Army.

1t is not matter of much consequence
probably whether the bill which provides
that the soldiers of the volunteer army
shall have the privilege of voting at the
fan elections becomes a law or not, be-
cause the war will harry last more than
year. II is very doubtful If very many
of them care whether the privilege is ex-
tended to them or not. When the fan
elections take place some OF them may be
in Cuba, some in Porto Rico and others
I'm the Philippines
As a rule, it is better to keep politics
out of the army to as great an extent as
possible but the politicians won't let it
be kept out Their one great idea is to
keep themselves in the minds of the SOL
diers, because they know that the soldiers
will have votes when they return to their
homes, even If denied the privilege of vot-
ing while in the army.
1t would have been good thing for the
army IL the President had succeeded III
keeping out of ii all purely political gen.
erals, colonels, majors and captains. When
ever the subject of politics in the army is
mentioned the names of prominent poll
ticians who hold places in the army are
recalled. These political generals and col
onels may make good soldiers but the
chances are they win not. They will eth
er themselves talk a good deal about poll
tics or they will cause politics 10 be dis
| cussed more than any other one thing. 1t
would be better. therefore, from every
| point of view if these political officers had
been kept out CT the army.
There is no bill pending providing that
The seamen in the navy shall have the

Absurdities of Fashion.

The Soldier Vote.

The bill TO permit volunteer soldiers in
the field to vote at congressional elections,
wherever they are stationed, has been
favorably reported TO the House from the
election committee. Unless we are prepared
10 enter upon an era of militaireism this
bill should be defeated. Ii would put
the elections in control of the soldery
and place unwonted and despotic power
in the hands of army officers. Ii would
degrade the civilian and elevate the sol
der, and it would be violative of one Of
the most ancient and sacred of princi-
pies of free government. England is so
scrupulously careful not 10 permit her
soldiers to take part in politics that she

easy sailing, and il would not be many
years before the military would usurp
