4 LESSON OF WORK.

Detective work has accomplished
some remarkable things in It's time. but

months the trail of Holmes. the muir

year behind the man he hunted. In al
most every case where remarkable de

of century. Families had removed. old
men had died and babies had grown 10

KNOWN BY THEIR RECORDS.

Thoughtful Missouri voters who would
assist in providing for the community
in which they live the benefits arising
from conservatism and wise careful
ness In government do not need IL go
outside Of their own State for Il study
OF the promise tu this effect held out
by the two great parties.
In the city of 81. Louis. the metropolis
Of the State. there is an illustration "f
rule 10y the present Missouri Republican
machine. The corrupt and incapable
Zieccnhein administration has shown
disastrou>ly just what Republican domi-
nance means. The affairs of the leading
city of Missouri have been administered
Tor the exclusive benefit 81 a gang of
political rinSSiers and for the upbuild
in= of 4 singularly malevolcnt partisan
machine. There has been no attempt
at either economy or efficiency. The
Mayors efforts have been confined 1"
the advancement of his own political
fortunes and tine consequent rewar,ling
of the gang that served those fortunes.
HE Republican Council and House of
Delegates has been given over Ia the
sway of houdlin- combines. Hold-up
legislation is the unyarying rule in these
two branches of the Municipal As
sembly
Republicans figuring in State affairs
are OF the same stripe as those who
have thus miSgoverncd 81. Louis. No
irucr types of Missouri Rcpublicanism
are 10 he found than are presented in
the persons of Flory and O'Fallon the
head and front of the Republican State
campaign of 1900. Ii has taken these
men hut a short time 10 demonstrate
that they are ignorant. reckless. fiippant
and incompetent. peculiarly unfit 10 be
intru>te! with administrative office.
The fundamental insincerity of both. as
displayed in their attempts TO play on
both sides Of the street railway con
Solidation issue. has discredted them
before the people No discreet voter can
fail 10 see the danger contained in the
choice of such men TO manage the af-
fairs of the State.
The striking contrast between FIory.
the Republican candidate for Governor
of Missouri. and Dockery, the Demo-
cratic candidate for the same office,
must OF necessity impress the student
of the existing situation. Mr.. Dockery
has, through years of faithful public
service. proved himself statesman Of
experience, a careful and conservative
business man. a legislator honestly de-
sirous of protecting all legitimate in
terests, sranch friend of labor without
being a radical extremist in blind hatred
Of capital. His public record is honor
able and fruitful and rich in accom-
plished benefit TO the people of his State.
His election TO the Governorship would
insure 4 certainty of wise administra-
ton of State affairs. due alike TO nat
ural conservatism of temperament and
experience in honest public service.
The influence of such an administration
on legislation would further promote
prosperity in Missouri and lift high the
repute of the State in all sections of the
Union. AS between Dockery and Flory
the people of the State are not required
to make choice blndfolded. They
know both men through the records of
the men themselves.
