to continue to do all in his power to nc
complish the election of Rolla Wells.
1t is impossible to ignore the plain
meaning Of a gathering so distinctly in
the interest of the community as was
the 0deOn meeting. 1t was anything
but 4 partisan gathering for the mechan-
ical Endorsement of Il party candidate.
1t was no more Democratic than 1t was
Republican. inasmuch as it owed its
being not to considerations Of partisan
profit or advantage. but solely to II de-
termination on the part of the represent
alive men in attendance that st. Louis
must be ably and honestly governed
during a period by far the most i'm
portant in all its history. These men
had studied closely. unbiased by any
partisan spirit. the respective merits OF
the Republican and Democratic city
tickets. They had reached the conclu-
sion that the ticket headed b, Mr.. Wells
contained satisfactory assurance of that
good government which is im%peratively
necessary for st. Louis. They accord
ingly enlisted heart and soul in the CAM
paign for Mr.. Wells's election.
The people of st. Louis are TO be con-
graduated upon this unusual develop
ment Of the municipal campaign now
under way. 1t means that the am
paign's vital issue Of good government
is plainly recognized by the best and
strongest influences in the local COM
munity. and That these influences are
being eXertcd TO the utmost for NIL
nicipal. reform. 1t means that the in
dependent voters of ST. Louis will vote
for the ticket whose election means good
government for st. Louis. The gentle
men who took part in the Odeon meet
Ing of last Tuesday night, both Re
publicans and Democrats, are i'll the van
of the fight for good government.

CHEAP BUNCOMBE.

Mr.. Parker makes a fussy plea for
Mr.. Wells to come forward and promise
TO personally assist in preventing fraud
at the polls.
In the case of ROlla Wells a promise
is not necessary. A lifetime of high
minded conduct in private and public
affairs is the convincing pledge that he
will do all in his power to prevent
fraud.
Mr.. Wells will make the promise, of
course. And, of course, he will keep it
in letter and spirit.
Nh. Parker's pretense of special vir-
tue in carrying out election laws should
have begun earlier-before the machine
which is managing his campaign con-
Quoted primaries on the two-a-minute
schedule of voting.
Go back to the Globe Democrats own
reports Of the Parker primaries. There
was more disorder and more evidence of
fraud by far than was ever discovered
about thee election last fall.
Mr.. Parker's talk is exceedingly cheap.
Can he point to a single effort made by
him to prevent fraud in the primaries2
Did he not promise nuts to the boys i'm
mediately after primaries where dis
order and fraud were rife? Actions are
the best promises.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. March O.-There is a new
topic among the residents Of Cleveland
Park over the latest achievement Of Nine.
Ferrouh. the wife OF the Turkish Minister,
who now rides a bicycle rs well as any of
her American sisters. The gossips who re-
gard this departure from native form as a
very co~mmendablc piece of independence
In Nine. Ferrouh. are not slow to recall
tho fact that very little more than a year
ago she was as zealously shielded from OBJ
servaticn as any Mohammedan woman In
her own realm. and curiosity concerning
her was on tiptoe. Every time she went
out for a walk some enterprising camera
fend would spring from an ambush near
by and endeavor to get n snapshot of her.
Before the birth of her little boy on July
4 last she submitted to the cloister-like ex-
lstence insisted upon by the Minister. This
sort of thing has not thrived on American
soil. for gradually Nine. Ferrouh has been
adopting some very decided new-woman
ideas. and now she rides about the park
with an up-to-date American costume and
of late has even discarded the veil she used
to wear over her face when taking her
morning spin.

FOR GOOD

In Tuesday nights great Odeon gath
ering Of representative business ami
professional men Of st. Louis whose
civic loyalty leads them to work for
good municipal government regardless
of party affiliations, and who assembled
on that basis to indorse the candidacy
of Rolla Wells for the Worlds Fair
Mayoralty of st. Louis. there was a sig
n~ificance which promises tremendous
benefit to the community in the very
near future.
The meeting, presided over by Mr.. f.
C. Simmons, who made his first ''polit-
ical' speech when he accepted the posi-
ton of presiding officer on that occasion.
was essentially i meeting in behalf of
municipal reform in st. Louis. 1t was
the urgent necessity for this reform
which brought such men as Mr.. Sim

John D. Davis. Isaac II. Lionberger, Z.

Republicans and Democrats alike-into
active participation in the campaign. ex-
actly as this same necessity compelled
the nomination of Mr.. Wells for the
Mayoralty. The time had arrived for
the friends Of good government to align
themselves with the ticket which stands
for good government.
Mr.. Simmons himself sounded the key
note of the meeting when. in beginning
his speech as presiding officer, he stated
that he had at first felt disposed to de-
cline taking so active a part in the am

THE PARTNERSHIP.

Ziegenheinism is the issue In the mu-
nicipal campaign. Parker and the
Parker organs dodge the issue. They
have no opinion for display before the
public.
In order 70 evade the issue there was
no platform. The Parkerites We're afraid
of public opinion and preferred to omit
a set platform in which Ziegenhein
would demand an Endorsement.
Parker's personal declaration-put
forth as a platform-avoided u hon
ored Mayor as if there never had been
such n person In st. Louis.
But this avoidance cannot be con-
strued into - condemnation Of Ziegcn-
hein. Ziegenhein's machine Is Parker's
machine. Parker's particular pet on the
ticket is Hiram Lloyd. the particular
pet of Ziegenhein. Parker was chaper-
Oned and introduced by Ziegenhein
when he first met 1.-The boys Mt cam
paign meetings and promised them all
the nuts.
Parker is the successor of ~Ziegenhein.
The %Ziegenhein crowd is to still run the
City Hall If Parker is elected. But
Parker's actions admit all the failures
and disgraces of the City Hall as run
by the Ziegenhein crowd.
Summed up, the Parker situation is
he has mortgaged his administra-
ton to the %Ziegenhein gang but is
ashamed to put the mortgage on record.

Citizens are not encouraged to believe
that the %Ziegenhein gang would allow
Mr. Parker to curtail the gangs enjoy

recall the melancholy experience of
Councilman Hodges in attempting such
an achievement.
Ny Hodges is a Republican who be-

tion.s This fond belief led Councilman

effort on Councilman Hodges's part.

public good.
But the ~Ziegenhein gang was looking
out for the gangs good. not that of the
public. The Wittenberg bill was con-
ceived, framed and passed in the in

gangsters. 1t increased the salaries of
other offices already filled by gangsters.

A. Hoegner, for whom 5000 is waiting in
New York.
Several weeks ago a cousin of Hoenger's
died. leaving 5000 to him. He was supposed
to be in st. Louis. Efforts to reach him by
mail were Intellectual. and Smith came on
to make n personal search. HOenger lived
here for several years. He came here short
~ after the Civil War and opened a small
lock and gunsmith shop which he conducted
until 1881. when he went to Nebraska, pur-
chasing d farm in the northwestern part

DEATH OF JOSEPH MURPHY.
PIONEER MANUFACTURERS.
Made a Fortune Building
Wagons for the Govern
ment in Mexican War.
IN BUSINESS 63 YEARS,

Joseph Murphy. one Of the OLDEST manu-
lecturers in this city. died early Wednesday
turning at the age of So years. Mr.. Muir
phy had been in poor health for several
years.
A 1aE which he received about three weeks
aso ADDED to the complications which re-
suited in his death.
Joseph Murphy was the son Of n farmer in
Drosheda, Ireland. where he was born Feb
ruary :, 1905. Coming to America at the age
vi 10. he sought agricultural employment,
ana found 1t on a farm at Florissant. where
ne worked for two years OF a salary OF IS a
nhohth. Growing tired Of the monotony Of
I''rin hfe. he came to st. Louis and went
70 work III the wagon shop Of Daniel Cas-
Ter. to whom he indentured himself. After
hn apprenticeship of four years he decid-
ed to embark in business for himself.
IN 1870 he rented a small shop on
nam street. and his industry soon brought
SUCH custom that he opened more commo-
o,cas quarters on Second stree; between
morgan and Green streets, Here he re-
manned until 1885. when the growth of his
'usiness necessit3ted a second enlargement
OF the shop. Mr.. Murphy then bought a.
large lot at the corner of Seventh and Nor
gan streets where he remained for twenty
years. at the end of which time he removed
to the present quarters. on Broadway. be-
tween Cass avenue and O'Fallon street. Mr..
Murphy continued actively in charge of fhe
business there until 1885, when. at the age
OF ~ years. he retired In favor of his sons.
Inc great opportunity which Mr.. Murphy
saw and seized was the demand for n
wagon of the strongest material for the
United States Army in the Mexican War,
and for similar wagons for emigrants west
ward bound over the great plains. stanch
enough to rough it through mountain
passes and over trackless wastes. To FUR
nish such an article Mr.. Murphy journcyed
in narCnv, n SpIN I'll

selection OF timber from the forests. He
himself f1oated down on many a raft to
st. Louis. where the beams and logs had to
