Take Party Issues
Out of City Elections.

"St. Louis Politics and Civic Righteous
ness' was the subject of a sermon by the
Reverend Doctor W.. J. McKlttrick at the
First Presbyterian Church yesterday morn
ing. His text was Proverbs xix, IS:
when there is no vision the people perish"
He said. In part:
1.-THE greatest test through which our
country has yet to go Is that of the munic-
ipality. We are facing to-day a great
threat, a rapidly approaching peril, with
blazing fire at Its core, and wnirling around
our heads iarts of fierce and awful menace.
1t il the problem of the cities. The French
revolution broke out on the pavements Of
Paris.
There are other pavements laid over
tons than those of the Bourbon Kings NAV

unless justice Is dealt out to the masses.
and unless the Magistrates can win the
respect and the reverence of those whom
they serve.

or ability to govern our cities in civic right
eousness. And that We must do IL we mean
to march into the future without the blush
of shame mantling our cheeks. There are
two things that claim our attention In our
laws. When we ask for this. when we de-

Civic Pride and How 1t
Will Be Maintained.

Civic Pride" was the subject Of a SER
mon yesterday by the Reverend Doctor
Luccock at Union Methodist Episcopal
Church He took for his text "A Citizen
OF No Man City," acts xxi. 80, and spoke
substantially as follows:
Isl. Louis knows her own and means to
hold II. Sne means TO hold it by merit, by
fair dealing, by courtesy. by progress. by
vast wealth lying at the door and none
greater opportunity for growth. progress
and service. ies; We are proud OF our
commerce.. And 1t is a just pride.
Il grant that St. Louis is not exactly the
final goal OF humanity. II is not quite the
city tnat John saw. However, this much
is clear, that without the city humanity
will never come to Its true glow and power.
The Individual cannot come to his best in
a garden. He needs fully a million other
people In direct touch with him to help
him on his way. 1 believe 1t is time to
stop talking about the growth of cities as
a menace TO public welfare and direct our
attention to subduing them and making
them forces for righteousness. In a sense,
the great city absorbs the towns and the
country; 1t sends out the daily news. the
thought. and 1t should also send out the
noblest types OF human character.
Christianity first fortified itself in cities
and through them elevated the race. The
MODEST victories for humanity are still to
be won in cities.
as bad as some of the wailins Jeremiahs
proclaim II to be. Perhaps 1t is not as
bad as some others of even less size. There
are thousands of citizens who believe In a
better order of things and who are moving
bravely toward II. There Is a civic con-
science among us nightly stirred at pres
ent, which promises well for the future.
The greatest force in this world, greater
far than armies or navies. Is a wholesome
public opinion. 1t is as silent as gravita-
ton. swift as lightning. and as relentless
as the tides.
IF I read the signs Alright that mighty
force Is steadily gathering against the day
of the spring election. and the man who Is
known to stand in the way of a righteous
administration of municipal affairs, who il
ready to sell himself to the vicious classes.

Decay of Law the Root
of Municipal Evils.

At First Congregational Church the Rev.
erend C. H. Patton preached yesterday up
on Municipal Lawiessness,' taking as his
text Ecclesiastes viii, IL: Because sentence
against an evil work is not executed speed
fly therefore the heart of the sons of men
Is emboldened to do evil" He said, in
part:
1.-The root of all this difficulty in municipal
affairs is the decay of law. II breaks out
In our cities, because il exists as a disease
In the national life. The very excessiveness
Of legislation is a symptom of this disease.
Laws are made and unmade by wholesale.
Statutes are created with little idea of their
being enforced. Those who are elected and
sworn and paid to enforce the laws are
themselves, in many instances, lawbreak-
ers.
"One violent symptom OF this deep-seated
malady is the increasing prevalence OF
lynching as a method of justice. When the
so-called best men of Leavenworth regard
burning at the stake. with brutalities so
shocking that they should not be men,
toned. as a justiiable means of correcting
one form of crime: can we wonder that
hysterical women of the same State regard
smashing saloons with hatchets a proper
means of correcting another form of crime?
THE situation as to lawlessness In our
city is this. There is always the lawless
class, those who make il their business to
prey upon the public by crime or bargaining
In immortality. Under good government this
class Is kept In subsection and grows less.
Under our present government this class
controls much of our legal machinery.

pend for the safety Of our lives and homes,

to make any personal sacrifice to stem

o the other hand. who would dare to
say aught against the private integrity of
such men as the directors and officials of
the Missouri Pacific. Burlington, Transit
They are all eminently respectable and up
right gentlemen, and yet 1t is they who
have 20 luted the legislative fountain heads
of State and city. Their money controls the
Legislature in jefferson City and buys the
franchises In st. Louis. Do they scruple at
this public ~villafny? Not at all. They boldly
tell Us II Is simply safeguarding their busi-
ness interests.
Now. wherein lies the remedy? Do we,
Do we really want honest city oflcials?
Are we anxious for the enforcement Of law,
irrespective OF class or concern? Are we In
earnest in clamoring for clean ~streets. hab-
table and properly supported city institu-
tons. and all the other improvements that
a great city like our own ought to have!
Then we must be willing to set aside all
selfish motives and personal interests and
bare our shoulders to the yoke Of govern

insufferable condition of affairs. Moreover.
our highly respectable and eminently up
