WORST OF EVILS.

Consistency Is a badly abused virtue
when it leads Republicans to interfere
with a sensible settlement of a perma-
hen policy for the State School Fund.
Our friends on the other side Of politics
were hurt at the polls by their unfair
campaign attack, and even partisan
prudence would dictate an abandonment
of the discredited issue.
Some foolish talk has arisen In the
Legislature about investing the Fund In
municipal and other bonds. No gilt
edge" bond could be obtained which
would net much over 3 per cent income.
Nothing less than g~ilt-edge securities
would be permissible. At that, the best
bonds in the market are inferior In
solidity to the certificates of the State Of
Missouri. The highest class bonds Of
other States might be weak on technical
points or might be lessened in value by
widespread catastrophes. But the sacred
guarantee of the State Of Missouri to
the School Fund of Its people could
never be impaired.
Any such proposition as investment Of
INC CCuOUl Il UNI III Outciut SCCuIltiCS AZ
wolves the certainty Of impoverishing
the income and the possibility of de-
stroying part or all of the principal.
The Republic invites the Globe Demo-
crat and other Republican newspapers
to lay aside narrow ~partisanship for a
time in order that certain dangerous
elements in both parties may be checked
and rebuked. In Jefferson City and in
st. Louis there are combinations which
will inf1ict upon the public injuries hard
to cure unless something is done to stop
them. Partly because the persons com-
posing them think that they are pro-
tected by party authority, these COM
binations flourish and are bold. II party
defense Is taken away they will stand
exposed and helpless.
The Republic would like to see the
Republican press join in Kidding State
and city of the worst evil Of govern
ment-secret combinations of bad men
in both parties.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-02-11

the King Of England concludes his stay
as the guest of the Kaiser Of Germany
there will be q political understanding
reached which will exercise a potent in
fiuence in world-politics Of the next
decade OF so.
1t will be interesting to watch this
closer drawing together of Great Britain
and Germany, through the uncle n
nephew, both of German blood well
mingled with English, now ~fraternizing
at such q great rate. 1t looks a bit like
destiny, the indicated AnglO-German
alliance which is the earliest develop
ment following victoria's death. The
original Teutonic stock seems to be in
st%inctively preparing to stand together
in the new order of things. And there
may be need for this standing together
