The fight was made on tat issue. The
final victory at the polls was an honest
victory of the friends or good govern
ment, not victory of section frauds
and ballot-box stuffins.
Colonel Kerens shoEld face the truth
or the situation, 10 matter how dis
pleasing that truth may be to him and
his party. Missouri and st. Louis are
under Democratic control They are
surprisingly prosperous under that con-
troll. The votes of the people, honestly
cast and honestly counted, placed the
Democrats in power. They will con-
tinue TO be honestly cast and honestly
counted TO retain Democracy in power.
The prosperity of State and city alike
Is too great and pleasing to be endan-
gered by replacing Democracy with Re-
publicanism, which has never meant
anything but calamity to State and city
alike.

Resolutions of Coincidence on
Death of Doctor Mink.

At a mass meeting Of the students Of the

The resolutions, which were prepared by a
committee compose Of Doctor w. A: Sell
Ter. d. A. Thomson. J. A. Juen. f. Walker
and A r. Schoenig. representing all the
classes. were as follows:
Whereas, Providence has deemed 1t wise
to call from us our most highly honored and
respected teacher, Doctor Arthur E. Mink,
therefore. we. the students Of the College
of Physicians and Surgeons do hereby
Resolve, That we deeply deplore the
early death of our most esteemed and abe
instructor; that the profession Of medicine
has lost a most valuable member whose pro-
ficience as a neurologist was eQualed by
few and excelied by none; that we extend
our heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowipg
family, though realizing that when hearts
are sore from deep afffiction human SYM
pathy Is Of little avail.
Resolved. That an engrossed copy OF
these resolutions be sent to the family; that
they be published in the official organs Of

Legislature. Ii could have rendered ex-
cellenr service had it desired. The per-
sonnel of the Republican minority in the
Legislature had been deplorable in the
main; had usually included some Of the
worst individual cases of legislative deg
radiation. 1t should have been the glad
choice of the GlobeDemocrat to keep
these men away from Jefferson City.
The Globe ignored the opportunity.
Democratic sentiment In Missouri, d.
rected by The Republic, reformed the
Legislature in despite of the lobby and
the partisan Globe-Democrat.
Now, however, the Globe sees a
chance for an unfair advantage in ex-
plotting Cardwell, member of a defunct
and notoriously lobby-ridden Legisla-
ture, as a weapon with which to assail
the present Legislature, happily purged
of the evils of which Cardwell COM
plains. The Globes idea is to confuse
the public on this point; to make its
readers believe that the present honest
and capable General Assembly of Mis-
souri, is the same corrupt body described
by Cardwell. The Globe is working a
bunko game on the people. 1t is howl
ing for legislative reform after legisla-
tive reform has been accomplished.
When there was 4 need for its services
In this direction it refused to help. The
Globe does not worry itself to serve the
people in this matter 1t is using Card
well solely and exclusively for the par
tisan profit that is possible to be gained
through Sardwen.

FUN FOR LEE.

Without the Globe Democrats foster
ing care Mr.. Lee Meriwether would
have difficulty in getting any large num-
Der Of people TO discover his views. AT
q meeting in Joplin the other night this
side-stepper announced that he would
put a State ticket, under the auspices
of the Public Ownership party, in the
field next year.
OF course, he also announced that he
would fight the Democratic party. That
was to be expected. Evidently the
Globe-Democrat believes him.
Was there ever a time when the Globe
was on the right side Of local and State
issues? IL the Globes memory will re-
turn to the spring campaign in this city
some patent facts in connection with
Mr.. Meriwether's candidacy for Mayor
should be recalled.
He received aid from the Republicans
in the hope that he would draw votes
from the Democrats. His campaign ex-
pcnse accounts did not bother him then
any more than they will next year.
What was the result? Mr.. Meriwether
took three votes from the Republicans
where he got one from the Democrats.
He was q bad investment-one that was
indorsed by the GlobeDemocrat.
Is Mr.. Meriwether playing his old
game? Or is the Globe-Democrar as
blind as ever?

For PARTISAN PROFIT.

If the Globe-DemOcrat had been suf-
ficiently public-spirited to join with The
Republic in the latter's successful move
ment to elect honest and able men to
the State Legislature now in commits
sion it would have given better testi-
mony to a desire for legislative reform
than is seen in its exploiting of ex-Rep-
resentative Cardwelrs belated revela-
ti0ns.
Cardwen represents nothing now; nor
does his friend, ex-senator Lyons. Jack
son County left both at home.
The State Legislature OF which Mr..
Cardwell was a member was one of
which Missouri Democracy had no
cause to be proud. 1t established a rec
ord, indeed, which made the Demo
Gratis of this State resolve to exercise
greater care in the selection of legis-
lators. The Republic took the lead in
crystallizing Democratic sentiment TO
this end. 1t worked in conjunction with
the party's best men in urging upon the
voters throughout the entire State the
necessity for choosing only the best ma
terial for the State Legislature. The
lobby-tool, the sandbagging legislator,
the professional CRATER, were pilloried
daily in this campaign for legislative
reform.
The result was the election Of the
present State Legislature, the first ses-
sion of which shows clean and COM
mendable record of faithful and eco
nomical service to the people. But the

FACT VS.. FICTION.

Colonel Richard C. Kerens was amply
supported by the facts when, in a re-
cent New York interview, he called the
country's attention to the uneXampled
prosperity of the Southwest and of st.
Louis. the metropolis of that great and
progressive section of the Union.
But Colonel Kerens, compelled to con-
fess that Missouri, the banner State,
and st. Louis, the banner city, of the
prosperous Southwest, are under Demo
cratic control in the era of their great
est prosperity, should not have attempt
ed to hedge" by claiming that such
control was due to election frauds and
violations of the ballot. The Colonel at
this juncture leaves the domain of fact
and ventures recklessly into that of
partisan Misrepresentation.
'.The Republicans feel," says Colonel
Kerens in discussing the Missouri situa-
tion, that they will soon re leem the
State from Democratic ring rule. They
really won in the presidential election
of 1900, but were cheated out of it by
the st. Louis 'Goebel law better known
in Missouri as the Nesbit law, re-en-
forced as 1t was by police law which
turned over the machinery and guar
dianship Of the polls TO the police. With
these infamous laws wiped from the
statute books the government of the
city would easily be wrested from the
hands of the Statehouse ring at Jeffer.

Making due allowances for Colonel
Kerens's natural desire to convince the
national management of his party that
there is a Triumphant Republicanism in
Missouri, the thoughtful reader viii still
perceive that the Colonel has INDUCED
in wild fight of fancy. The people OF
Missouri, and especially those of ST
Louis, know that the city went Demo
cratic liz the April elections as a pro
test against the ring rule of Ziegenhein

LAZINESS-A DISEASE?

II Mrs. Demuth, president of the Al
ton Provident Association, succeeds in
securing the passage of a law declar-
ing laziness a disease and providing a
compulsory cure she will have solved
one of the problems of the ages. She
may rightly be termed a woman Of
courage, for her experience as prac-
teal worker Il philanthropic fields
should make her familiar with the i'm
menslty of the task she has undertaken.
Yet there is some difficulty in deter
mining the course of reasoning that
Mrs. Demuth followed in deciding that
Iaziness is a disease. The man who will
not work is, according to Genesis, striv-
ing to get around a divine injunction
which decreed that only by the sweat Of
the brow should man eat. But labor is
an acquired, not a natural, habit.
Still, the better a man is the harder
will he work. The worse he is the more
prone he is 10 live off the sweat of
some one else's brow. OF course the
argument may be made that this way
of looking at the bread-and- butter prob
AClh II pNitas Al HOAhN VI 'AN"s
There will be some trouble in making
an effectual division of the three kinds
of men who will not work. There are
men who do not work because they
cannot find a job to their liking. There
are others who have enough worldly
goods to make laZiness a safe disease.
And, last of all, but probably TO Mrs.
Demuth's mind the most important
class of patients, are those who will
not work because the world owes them
living.
Mrs. Demuth proposes to cure the
disease of laziness by compulsory labor,
preferably in a stoneyard or over saw
buck. This course of treatment is no
rest cure and so will probably be con-
sidered unfavorably by the afflicted fra
ternity Yet, as the medicine prescribed
by Mrs. Demuth will pay for 90 cents
worth of provisions a day for a mar
red mans family, the end might justify
the means. And, as laZiness is catch
ing" the drains upon charities would
be materially reduced.

London, Nov. 1.-The return home Of the
Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York
from their long. eventful ard successful
tour through the British colonies has in
spired the Poet Laureate with a theme for
a song of rejoicing.
By the kind courtesy of Messrs. Macmil-
Ian & Co., your correspondent has obtained
the exclusive use of the Laureate's poem for
publication this morning in the United
States:
A ROYAL HOMECOMING.
Welcome. right welcome home to these blest
Where unforgotten loved Victoria sleeps:
But now with happy pride your father smiles.
Your mother weeps!
You went and come as swallows homeward draw.
Now II hath winged its way to winters green,
But never swallow or wandering seabird
What you have seen.
For you have circled earth with pinons fleet,
The seasons through. and everywhere n throng
OF glowing hearths your coming trooped to greet
With flowers and song
Over the unchsnging sea eight changefuI moons
Have moved from shield TO sickle. seed to
sheaves;
And twice a hundred dawns a hundred moons
hundred ewes
waned to their slumber in the starIit night.
And ever from land or lake. from wave or
crag
From hxed or floating fort you had in sight.
The British flag.
And wider, further onward round the world
Securing the field furrowipg the sea.
You found that emblem. which. whereer un-
furled
Floats o'er the free.
So that on man and mans laborious hand
Nor manacle nor hindrance shall be laid.
But mind with mind and strand with generous
strand
Contend and trade.
And though the shade of reasonable strife
Falls on our homes and theirs. you. wander
ing, saw
Young commonwealths. You found surEing with
life
Yet ruled by law.
Whose blood infused in in wars emprise
To vindicate sceptre. sword and tongue.
As ours perchance may help to keep them wise
Hath made young
Fountain of youth. ending in meliower years
Hath found and drained that she ne'er
knew
What nature feels when autumn stacks and seres
Or yule gusts blow.
You sailed from US to them. from them to
Love at the PROV and wisdom the helm,
August ambassadors. who strengthen thus
Rule and realm!
Round you to-day a people stand arrayed
That fain with peace two welded worlds would

T. B. Glazebrook Of this city. a member
OF the Indiana Auxiliary Committee OF the
Worlds Fair, in a letter to C. H. Huttig.
chairman of the Committee on State and
Territorial Exhibits, suggests as a means of
securing an appropriate exhibit from In
diana that the members Of the Legislature
of that State be solicited to declare them
selves in favor of an appropriation for the
Worlds Fair.
Governor Durbin has expressed his will
ingness to appoint an honorary Worlds
Fair Commission. In the event Of a major
ity of the legislators committing themselves
favorably toward the Fair. this commission
would be recognized by the State and Terri
torial Exhibits Committee, and given the
same privileges as commissions from States
where an appropriation has been made. The
body could arrange for a site for the In
diana building and close all other prelim-
inaries.
Il do not believe" says Mr. Glazebrook.
that any difficulty would be experienced in
getting the members of the Legislature TO
commit themselves in favor of the Fair.
The people of the State are with US. heart
and soul, and the press Is furnishing every
possible support. The Legislature does not
meet again until 1903, which would be too
late to build suitable building with any
fund IL might appropriate. In the meantime
money could be raised among commercial
organizations. contingent upon an appro-
priation from the State"
John f. Carroll of the Denver Post, in
letter to the Worlds Fair management
says: The feeling in this section of the
country is very strong in favor of the Lou
isiana Purchase Exposition. The people of
Colorado feel a pride in its success, and will
contribute more, with less urging to that
end, than they have ever done toward any
exposition ever held In this country"
