GOVERNOR

By the election of Mr.. Dockery 10 the
high and honorable office of Governor of
Missouri the voters Of this State have
properly testified to their appreciation
of the valuable services of a faithful
public servant and have insured the
wise and conscientious administration
of Missouri's affairs during the next
four years.
Mr.. Dockery, being 4 Democrat. will
give To the State q Democratic govern
ment. but his first duty is TO al the
people of the State and it is a duty
which he recognizes and proposes to
perform. AS the Governor OF Missouri
throughout the period Of the great
Worlds Fair Of 1903 he will labor under
greater responsibilities than would
otherwise be the case. but his opportuui-
ties for distinguished service Will also
be correspondingly Increased and his
earnest desire for the best interests of
his State will be far more possible of
its fullest realization.
AS the Worlds Fair Governor Of Mis-
souri,, indeed, Mr.. Dockery is Il choice
Oh singular ulBtSS. Ills TRIMMING IN pub
lie life has been thorough. He is Il
broadminded and practical man and
possesses the confidence Of the construct
I've element of Missouri'S population
the men who accomplish things and who
will of necessity be potent factors in
Missouri during the time OF preparation
for he Worlds Fair and while that
great exposition is in progress. He is
of dignitied presence and appropriately
impressive address. He will fifty stand
before the world as an excellent type of
Missouri intelligence and progressive
spirit.
The people of Missouri are to he con-
graduated upon their selection of Mr..
Dockery as their States Governor at a
most important period in its history.
His administration will reflect credit
upon the State and be productive OF
ample benefit. And it is safe 10 predict
that his party, commended as it already
is to Missouri voters. will be even
stronger as the result of his control of
the State Government during The en-
suing four years.

ALL FOR THE TRUSTS,

With Mr.. Mckinley openly soiicitous
for the protection Of what he calls the
good trusts and failing TO see II bad
trusts" within the range of his vision:
with Mark Hanna bluntiy declaring that
there are no trusts in the United States,
only "bencticent corporations" and with
Secretary of War Root. Senator Beyer.
idsc and former Comptroller Eckeis
swelling the chorus lifted in praise of
this alleged trust beneficence, it is easy
TO see just where the Republican party
stands on the trust issue.
This attitude of the President and his
advisers is the genuine and consistent
attitude OF the Republican national or
ganization toward the monopoly syndi-
Gates from which it draws its financial
support. Its platform declarations
against the trusts are, necessarily. the
rankest of bunko u~tterances, intended
only TO fool cvercredulOuS voters. The
party is pledged to do the will of the
trusts in every department of the Gov
eminent, and it is because of this plain
ing heaven and earth to keep the Re
publican party in control of the Govern
ment.
The situation is so plain that only n
blinded man should fail 10 see its sig
%nifieance in all its clearness. Something

Following the close of a national

These conditions are not primarily due

the laws of natur be so affected by

therefore, justified in facing the future

GOOD EDUCATION.

One particularly satisfactory result of
the Republican campaign Of misrep-
resen;atiOn i'll Missouri has been that of
Offering TO the Democratic party Il just
p~rovocatiun for presenting to the peo-
pie in fullest detail the record Of Demo-
cratic service in this State.
1t is doubtful if there ha. OF late years
been a party struggle in any State in
the Union so vigorously prosecuted by
one party TO the inevitable benefit of it's
opponent. There have been instances,
Of curse, where oyeraggressiyencss
which lacks a good foundation in fact
for its determined effort TO place and
keep its antagonist on The defensive has
caused i reversal Of positions, but they
are not numerous. 1t has been left for
Missouri RepubliCanism TO prove in it's
w unhappy cast how disastrous such
tactics may become TO their ~originators.
The Missouri campaign was essential
ly q campaign Of education. and the
peoples Increased store OF knowledge
with regard TO the records of the two
great parties has greatly strengthened
the Democratic party. There is now no
excuse for Missouri ignorance of the
merits Of the two political organizations,
and it WAS this understanding of their
deserts which contained the demand for
support of the Democratic State ticket.
Fortunately for the aSsailed party, all
the charges manufactured by the opposi-
tinn were brought forward at a stage
Of the campaign allowing ample time
for the prcsentment of the truth in Off
set and for the established facts to duly
impress themselves upon the popular
mind.
Missouri Democracy is to be com
mended for the frank and able manner
in which Its campaign has been con-
Quoted. It was a campaign in which the
