POLICY DECLARED.

Yesterdays inStaiiment of the Globes
| biCotry campaign was noticeable chiefly
as an example Of its shifty and fIirtive
| practices. The substance of the matter
had been removed by Auditor Aliens
| percmptory statement that the inter
! view in The Republic was authorized
before publication and fully approved
afterwards
All the essence having been thus taken
from the Globes claim that the inter-
view was not authorized, the next Globe
antics simply serve to expose that pa
per'S spirit.
The Globe is never shamed at its re-
peated failures to blacken the reputation
Of Missouri, but is greatly mortified If it
misses any opportunity, however petty,
to insult and annoy State officials. 1t
never cares anything about tile truth of
its allegations. but is intensely inter
eSted in new chances of vituperation. 1t
will at any time abandon a contention
III order to pick q sla ander out of small
side issue.
As point of newspaper publication,
the interview with Captain Allen came
straight to The Republic and in the
most authentic manner That the Globe
fully believed in the authenticity Is
shown by its several comments on the
statements therein made by Captain
Allen.
What, then, but pure malice could
have dictated yesterdays repetition Of
the invention, or ruInor, that Captain
Allen did not authorize the interview?
This malice throws another strong
light on the Globes intentions. In the
State Debt controversy, as in that over
the School Fund. it proposes to ignore
the truth and seize every little irrelevant
side issue out of which new SANDER
on Missouri can be manufactured. The
Republican machine organ does not
even pretend to possess public spirit: it
announces that its policy is exclusively
one Of pettifosging partisanship.
And on that announcement 1t proposes
to go into a campaign next year for its
Supreme Court candidates and for a
Legislature which will elect United
States Senator. Maybe the Globe and
the Republican machine will get out OF
the campaign their own kind of spiteful
fun. They will never win an election
before an honest and sober people.

PLEDGED.

In view of the clamorous praise that
is now being bestowed on President
Roosevelt by the Globe-Democrat and
Missouri Republicans, 1t Is in order to
recall few of the sentiments that were
expressed at the banquet of the Young
Mems Republican League Club in Kan
sas City last June, when National Com
mitteeman Kerens showed his fealty to
the Ohio machine by an announcement
Of his friendship for the anti-Roosevelt
faction.
The meeting was whole-souled slap

Republicans at the dictation of Mr.. Ker-
ems In toast at the banquet he for
mally launched Senator Fairbanks Of
Indiana, the guest Of honor. as candi-
date for the presidency In 1903. Mr..
Kerens said that Missouri would send a
solid delegation to the next national con-
vention pledged to the Senator.
Lovely. In replying Senator Fairbanks
toasted Mr.. kerens and hoped that the
National Committeeman would be found

Senator can make fairly good banquet
