Sam Cook For Regularity.


Hon. Sam B. Cook has ex-
pressed himself with no less
explicltness than Governor
Doc kerry on the subject of demo.
cratic regularity.
Failing to get the latter to
preside over their mass meeting
in st. Louis Wednesday night,
the Meriwether political non
descripts invited the former to
take his place.
In his reply to the invitation
Mr.. Cook leaves no chances
whatever for any misunder-
standing of his position. "Mr.
Meriwether," he writes, lis not
the nominee OF the democratic
party. Those who are familiar
with my political career could
hardly expect me to take part
in meeting held in opposition
to my own party. Whether or
not the nominations made by
the democratic part convention
were the wisest is not for an
outsider to determine.
There is in this last sentence
the quintessence of narity ETH
quette as we'll as the recognition
of the plenary authority of
local party organization within
it's own limits, The regularly
organized democratic party Of
st. Louis held, in accordance
with strict party rules, pri'
mary, at which the delegates
were elected who subsequently
assembled in convention and
unanimously nominated the
ticket which the Merlwether
! crowd is assisting the republi-
cans to defeat.
For any loyal st. Louis demo,
crat to rebel against such or
ganized procedure of his party
would constitute him Il bolter.
For an outsider to object OF
! make war against the regular
proceeding of the local party
organization would, to Charac'
terize it mildly, be a piece OF
officious intermeddling that is
utterly inconsistent with politi,
regularity.
There can be no question
a bout the straight democracy
of Governor Dockery aud Mr..
Cook, and the position they
have taken in the st. Louis
mayoralty contest should have
the approval of every advocate
of party fealty and regularity
in Missouri and elsewhere.

Is it,true that bachelors and

some old maid who spent the
greater part of her time and
money helping some one less
fortunate than herself. She eX-
poets no reward, not even
praise There are many in this
city today who are working for
money that they may support
and make comfortable some
relative or friend and the sad
dest thought that comes to
them is that the relative or
friend will some day be taken
from them and they will be left
alone in the world.
In history we find the names
of women vino have never mar.

good of humanity, and more
names will be added to the list

cause they turn their attention
TO dogs. cats and parrots" that
they are remembered.
The assertion that they are
gossips and persistent in talk
ing about the men who have
spurned and the women who
have been preferred over them
is wholly misleading. If a wom-
an meets this fate in life it is
her great sorrow and she will
lock herself in her room rather
than meet one who would men
ton the subject to her.
If in a social way her selfish
ness is noticeable, is it not that

with persons who will UNI
thong htedly or otherwise do or
say something that could not

memory with her and she uatur.

country to the cities. The daily
glitter and excitement, pre-.
scented wildly through the me.
dium of the always available
newspaper and low-priced mag
azire, naturally makes a very
strong appeal to young men,
restless aud disconnected under
the more or less depressing in-
nuence of rural isolation. They
turn their eyes city.ward, and,
if they can possibly manage it.
they go to the city. This may
bespeak ambition, but too of.
ten it is an ambition that mains
and kills. 1t is true, as Daniel
Webster declared, that there is
plenty of room at the top; but,
looking at conditions squarely,
we must know that the top
must always be for the few and
not for the many. l believe
that no aphorism is more mis-
taken than that often heard in
our public schools that any boy
may become president OF the
United States. In political
rights we may have equality,
but in little else. The high
stations Of life can be attained
only by men of exceptional
power or opportunity. The
vast majority must be content
with average places and, in
cities like New York md Chica-
go. the supply for such places
far exceeds the demand. We
can not blind ourselves to The
fact that in our great cities
there IS deplorable congestion.
The lodging houses are over.
flowing with men seeking work;
many unlOrtunates shlver

1t is true that the reason for
such failure as this often lies in
the man himself, but it is also
true that in many cases the

the average human weaknesses,
and only limited and unframed
power with which to combat
conditions of exceptional diff,
