that she did not wish to see the home
broken up and that she would not let

him to remain a Holmes to the close Of

SCANDAL.

New York pretends to be astounded at
the latest revelations In the war against
vice In that city. There has been IN
other shaking Of dry bones. Comics
sions have been made that seem to
fasten the fact Of collision between
gamblers and the police.
At this early day it is difficult to fore
cast the final result Of the disclosures.
The general public knows what the ef-
feet should be. 1t should mea q COM
plete probing Of the scandal. The man
tainted with the least suspicion should
be dropped from the rolls without any
Intervention of politics.
Probably nothing of the sort win oc-
cur. The periodic disclosures" in New
York have a way Of causing incon-
v~enience, but nothing more. The pool
rooms win still run. The city viii afford
the same old attractions for the vicious.
A Committee Of Fifteen must be backed
up BY an active public sentiment. Until
that is secured, raids viii have no ef-
feet. Disclosures will do little good.
The entire population OF New York
needs r~egenerating. They get just n
good government as they deserve and
want. When the people who live on

difficult to pick up an Eastern paper OF
Importance without finding mention Of
the coming Worlds Fair.
1t has o been SO long ago when
doubts were expressed of the ability Of
st. Louis to get ready in time to open
the Exposition May i, 1903. One or two
papers thought the idea preposterous.
They pointed out that no previous
Worlds Fair had been prepared in such
a short time. They seemed unable to
properly estimate the executive ability
Of the men engaged in forwarding the
plans.
That day has passed. The wonderful
progress that has been made during the
last few months has demonstrated to
the world the ability Of st. Louis to car
ry out its contract with the public. When
the promise was given that the best
Worlds Fair ever held would be opened
on the announced date, st. Louis did not
underestimate the full measure of labor
that would be required.
The favorable editorials in every paper
are evidence that the Fair will be con-
sidered a national and not a local en-
terprise. Every step Of progress is be-
ing watched. The East as well as the
West is becoming acquainted with the
minute details. 1t is an omen of suc-
cess. St Louis invites a careful scru-
tiny.

PLAIN

In the presidential campaign OF 1904
the Democratic party, it now seems like
ly, will be found organized. neither re-
organized nor di~sOrganized, on a sound
Democratic basis. and fully equipped
for victory i'm the cause of the people.
The reputation of American princi-
pies so distinctly made within the past
three years by the Republican party
leaves the Democratic party alone rep
resentative of the principles upon which
the American Government vas estab-
lished.
Trustism, Imperialism, a colonial pol
icy modelled almost identically upon that
Of Great Britain, a confessed determine
ton to put into effect the Hamilton the
DRY Of a strongly centralized Federal
Government, a denial of the rights OF
the people in order that a privileged
caste may be made richer as the people
become poorer, are the things for which
present-day Republicanism stands. The
menace OF these things must be removed
by the removal of the Republican party
from power.
The Democratic national organization
does not need to make a bid for the. sup
port of any outside party or element Of
population. 1t needs only to maintain
q Democratic allegiance to h funda-
mental truths Of Democracy.
These truths demand the restricting of
the trust evil, the forbidding of the gov
eminent of aliens by force against the
consent Of the governed, faithful OBJ
seryance of the American principle of
equal rights to all, special privileges
to nome" and a national government
that shall not in effect be a Federal
Monarchy ON the Hamilton basis
The demand for the suppression of
these evil tendencies now so apparent
In Republican policies must be met for
the peoples sake. The Democratic par
ty will take its rightful place as the par
ty Of the people.
There has been a palmer duty
before American Democracy. There has
never been q greater promise Of Demo-
cratic victory in behalf Of the common
people. All that is necessary for vic
tory is that the Democratic party shall
obey the popular demand I'm nominees
and declarations of principle.

ANANIAS.

In trying to convince the people that
there has been all sorts Of crookedness
in the management of the States
finances. the Globe Democrat does not
apparently mind being both absurd and
unfruthful.
In q recent editorial paragraph it says:
The biennial legislative Auditing Com
mittee, yer which Governor Dockery
and The Republic make so much ado,
merely checks UP transactions between
the Treasurer and Auditor. They get
but a.. glimpse Of the States accounts,
and limit their perfunctOry comparison
to a period Of two years."
The briefest glimpse" Of the States
accounts ever taken by one Of these
Legislative Auditing Committees in Mis-
souri, occupied just f~orty-seven days OF
the time for which the Legislators on
that committee were paid by the peo-
pie. The glimpse" obtained by the Au-
diting Committee that reported 'alI's
well" to the Thirty-ninth General As
sembly-of Missouri was q glimpse" OF
165 days. The Republican members Of
each Auditing Committee testified that
these long and searching examinations
of, not ~"glimpses' at. the States books
showed that the States finances were
honestly handled.
Inasmuch as an Auditing Committee
must necessarily be appointed by each
Legislature which meets at Jefferson
City every two years, 1t Is natural that
these committees should limit their in
ve~stigation to a period Of two years.
Each preceding period of two years has
been covered by a preceding Auditing
Committee. The absurdity Of this phase
Of the Globes argument is apparent Mt
first sight. And why, save through pure
malice, should the Globe describe as
'perfunctory comparisons these bien-
NAL Investigations, the briefest Of which
lasted forty-seven days. the longest 165
days, and the most recent Of all. that
during the Forty-first General Assem-
bly,, l03 days?
The Globe Democrat should pull itself
together. Its unique combination Of alb
surdity and mendacity Is amusing, but
not convincing. Persisted in, II will be
sheer loose-moraled stupidity, which Ii
unforgivable.
