WE see that President Roosevelt has
appointed Ex-Governor Jones of Ala
bama to the position of Federal Judge
In that state. We understand this is
the beginning of the policy of pension
ing the deserters of 1896 who gave
active aid and comfort to the enemy in
that fight, and whose political fortunes
we're impaired by the course they then
took. It will not be surprising if the
President is required to take care OF
the fortunes of one William 81. Wallace
of Kansas City-the gentleman who
wants to succeed Vest-and other rene
gades in this State who betrayed their
party in that year.. The men whom
the Republican party deems worthy OF
reward are not the men whom the
Democratic party al afford to trust.

it be Republican without the paint.

The correspondents column (''Let-
tiers from the People') of the Post
Dispatch is always interesting and
often instructive. Not an issue but 1t
contains something hat repays its
perusal. The REGISTER quotes the
following as exceptionally fine in
thought and expression:
Goethe, Ruskin, Emerson, Amiel,
Rostand all give US beautiful thoughts
on love, and the same thread OF
thought in all-that true love enobles
and success and happiness are not pos
sible to those who do not love some
thing or somebody. One strong in
sex magnetism. or, better put, one
who understands the potency of charm
would be of too fine a nature to play
fast and loose with the destinies OF
those with whom they are associated.
Charm is temperamental. 1t is born,
not made. 1t is a gift, not an acquire
ment, and is developed by fine infu-
ences in early life. To idealize this
daily life, and to make it worth ideal
izing, is the secret Of that mysterious
attraction called charm. One who
s'hoIds thought steadfastly" is brim
full of good will, love and happiness,
which bubbles over constantly. Hap
piness is a disease which, once in the
blood, is hard to eradicate. Emerson
truly says that life is ar ecstacy and
nothing less is really living. The aim
of culture is to make the soul a musi-
cal instrument which may yield music
either to itself or to others, at any i'm
pulse from without. But this very re-
sponsiveness, this ecstacy of living,
may cause one to be misunderstood, may
give rise to vulgar criticism, the only
answer to which is to ''be noble and
the nobleness that lies in other men,
sleeping, but never dead, will rise in
majesty to meet thine own"

to say nothing further about govern
ment by injunction, or Imperialism.
Under such conditions money would
become a drug in the Democratic
organization. But what about h six
million of voters who stood loyal to
principle in 1896 and 1900; whom the
%plutocracy could neither buy nor drive;
who, against terrific odds and under
circumstances of the greatest dis
couragement, rolled up the largest vote
the party aver asst in all its history;
who stood by its principles and its
standard-bearer when the gentlemen
who now wish to reorganiZe 1t were
crowding into the camp OF the enemy?
Will they be content to stand by a
nameP Will they be satisfied with the
she'll of the egg or the hull of the wal
nutP What would it profit to buy the
whole of the floating vote if the SUBJ
stantial vote either staid at home or
sought a new organization to carry
into effect it's political viewsp People
are no longer to be deluded by plat
forms that are simply a juggle of
words, and which are capable of
several constructions. In vain is the
net spread in the sight of any bird.
The day for platform-juggling and
6ouble-dealing has gone by. The peo-
pie are determined that a fight shall
be made on monopoly all along the
line. How can an effective anti
monopoly campaign be carried on
without attacking the money power?
If the money power is attacked, will it
contribute to the campaign fund of it's
enemiesP The money power demands
that all attacks upon the gold standard
shall cease. The money lords know
that this Is the weak spot in their
armor, and every sacrifice will be
made to protect it. Shall We attack
our enemies only at the points they
suggest, or shall we manage u own
campaignP' That is a matter that
Democrats must settle in the next year..

THE coming campaign is apt to be
one of the most important ever held in
this State. An attempt will be made
to fill Senator Vests place with a Re-
publican disguised by a more or less
Democratic coat of paint. The wires
appear to have already been laid to
accomplish this purpose. The remedy
is to make every candidate for the
legislature or the Senate declare whom
he is for and whether or not under any
circumstances he will support a gold
bug, a reorganizer, or any other brand
Of assistant Republican. Let every
Democratic voter insist upon a plain
statement from candidates for the
House and Senate upon these questions
and permit nc evasion. Each candi-
date should be compelled to announce
himself upon these questions through
the columns of the newspapers. The
people will want 10 know your exact

Our friends who wish to abandon
the Kansas City and Chicago platforms
in order that the party may return to
the period between 1877 and 1888,
when platforms were collections OF
platitudes not regarded as committing
the party to any definite line of policy.
or candidates to any distinct line OF
action, evidently think that by so do
ing it would not have to meet the
enormous campaign fund with which
of late years it has had to contend,
and that very many wealthy men and
corporations might contribute hber-
ally to its treasury should it adopt this
course. This unquestionably would be
a wise course if politics was merely a

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT does not pro-
pose to have the name of the White
House changed to Executive Mansion
during his term of Office. In this he
is right. White House is the name OF
the residence OF the President of the
United States, and it should be known
by no other. We suppose it is too sim
pie and plain to please the members OF
our rye mercantile aristocracy;
hence the desire among them to have
it changed to the more sonorous title
of Executive Mansion. II President
Roosevelt viii prohibit the use OF the

AN army is the most effective when
it has no camp followers; when it is
composed of men who are willing to
risk life and liberty to win victories
for the cause they espouse. A party
is near to victory when it is right and
has eliminated every man who is in
its ranks to betray it to the enemy;
when it has turned down the opportu-
mist and t~ime-server. Concessions to
the enemy do not win victories; neither
will the sacrifice OF cardinal principles
to secure the votes of the lukewarm
and weakened bring success.
