A ST. LOUIS GROWTH.

st. Louis has been particularly fortu-
nate during the past six months in ev-
cry commercial activity. The impetus
OF the Worlds Fair has stimulated home
Investments. Bank clearings since JAN
uary 1 have increased 33 per cent over
the corresponding period Of the preced-
ing year.
One OF the most gratifying gains has
been in the railroad facilities Of what
Is termed St Louis territory. Trans
portation facilities have been wonder
fully increased, making st. Louis more
and more the central mart of Western
States. Points to the southwest that
have hardly existed commercially are
now in touch with st. Louis merchants.
Just what this movement has been
can best be judged by figures compiled
in the Railway Age. Between January
I. 1901. and June 50, 1917 miles Of track
have been laid in thirty States and
Territories. Two hundred and ninety
i've miles Of this track has been laid in
Texas, State that is proud to be known
as an ally Of st. Louis. Oklahoma, an
other Territory included by st. Louis
travelling men in their itineraries, is
second. 231 miles Of track having been
completed there in the past six months.
Arkansas has eighty-seven miles more
track now than on the irst of the year.
The Indian Territory boasts Of seventy
three miles additional track. Missouri
has sixty miles more track than on
January /.
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and the
Indian Territory. all contiguous terri
tory, have constructed considerably
more than one-third Of the entire
amount Of track laid in the United
States in the last six months. These
States and Territories, together with
Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Missouri, are richer by
SOL miles Of railroad than on January
l. All these States may be considered
as St Louis territory. That nearly one
half Of the new track laid in the whole
country was built inside that area is
significant Of the growth Of resources.
During the next six months it is ex-
pected that several thousand additional
miles of track will be laid unless condi-
tons change materially. Much Of this
will further increase the transportation
facilities Of the country surrounding st.
Louis. Texas, Oklahoma, Indian Terri
tory and Arkansas, as in the past six
months, will continue to make freight
carriage easier. Vast areas of compare
lively unknown country will be thrown
open by the movement. 1t Is part and
parcel Of st. Louis expansion.

Such conditions in State politics are
serious. II the people OF Illinois prefer
Nr. Dawes as one Of their Senators it
is their privilege to say SO and to in
struct their Legislature. But they
should not be compelled by national
administration to elect Mr.. Dawes as an
administration candidate. Nor should
any lllinoisan be subject to political
chastisement by the national admins
tration for venturing to express a pref
erence for some other senatorial candi-
date than Mr.. Dawes.
1t looks as If the local Imperialism
of which certain anti-administration Re-
publicans in Ohio have been complain
ing Is being transferred to Illinois. The
national administration is taking entire
ly too active part in State politics.

A CLOSED CHAPTER.

Lee Neriwether has done what every
one expected. He has taken the first
slight excuse to drop his contest against
Mayor Wells, the papers Of withdrawal
being filed yesterday by his counsel,
William f. Smith.
He alleges ae his reason for failure to
prosecute the contest further the recent
decision Of the Supreme Court relative
to comparing names with ballots. AS
The Republic has heretofore pointed out,
this decision should in nowise interfere
with the contests.
At the same time. The Republic said
that the two contests against Mayor
Wells would be dropped. Neither Mr..
Meriwether nor Mr.. Parker had the
faintest hope of a successful contest.
Their actions were practically forced
upon them because of the wholesale
charges OF fraud that they made before
the election took place. Even though
the frauds did not occur in such num-
bers, they felt bound to reassert the
charges.
Circuit Attorney Folk has attended to
every case Of fraudulent voting. The
convictions which he has secured and
which he will secure will do more to
show the exact extent of the frauds in
the April election than the feeble cOn-
rests brought by either the Republicans
os the Public Ownership party. The
two anti-Democratic bodies worked in
harmony before the election. Their con-
tests W, filed in the same spirit. The
same eA.,gse will serve to let them out
OF the hole.

COMEDY INTERLUDE.

Although the French and German
hags appeared intertwined over the bar
rack gates Of the crack guard corps of
the German Army In Berlin this past
week, it is not yet In order to hail the
dawn Of the millennium or to keep a
particularly sharp lookout for the lying
down together of the lion and the lamb.
There is lot Of world-politics in the
current display Of friendship between
France and Germany, and the amicable
union Of the two flags on the occasion
Of the Paris-Berlin automobile races
possesses no greater permanent sig
nificance than did Emperor Williams
marked attentions to the two French Of
ficers who recently witnessed a review
Of his troops.
Not the least among the influences
causing this apparent German friendli-
ness to France is the Emperor's hope
that France may yet be induced to join
in a European trade alliance against the
United States.
It is entirely safe to say, however,
that world-politics wiA not yet prevail
to overcome that antagonism between
the French and the Germans in which
racial hatred and long history Of hos
tility SO potently figure. France will
never be entirely content until the hui
miliations Of 1870 have been wiped out
by a war in which she shall be the
victorious nation and Germany the de-
feated Germany will never rest entire
ly easy and confident of French friend
ship SO long as the slightest provocation
brings swiftly to the surface this fixed
determination for revenge which is born
in the French blood. The two peoples
are hereditary foes and heredity is a
hard thing to overcome.
The Franco German developments Of
the immediate past are, nevertheless, in
teresting to contemplate. They may be
taken as furnishing the light comedy in
terlude between the more serious
dramatic happenings which constitute
the real play on the worlds stage. It is
worth while, therefore, to enjoy them in
spirit of holiday recreation. The great
err happenings Of the future will seem
more theatrically effective owing to the
contrast thus afforded.

HIS ANGELIC DuKELETs.


It would seem that when the entertain
ing and Instructive young Duke of Man
chester is safely guided through the
Bankruptcy Court into which he has
now but recently entered, the incident
will mark the logical completion Of
plucking In which the pin-feathers lost
by the British nobleman were, slangily
speaking, of the celestial variety.
This fact is made manifest by Man
chester's own formal declaration that
his financial troubles are due to the fact
that he was an angel. The young Duke
did not put on any side" In setting up
this claim-indeed, he seemed q bit
ashamed Of his angelic procliyities, and,
II he has halo, he. kept 1t closely con-
cealed about his person. But he per-
sisted that 1t was the angel business
which bankrupted him, and then. he ex-
planned to the Court that he was Of that
