Democratic BoodlerS.

AS we have said before, theft
is thief. whether you call him by
the polite name of ''boodler," Or
not. The Republican boodlcrs
have subsided and make no sign.
1t is not so with the Democratic
boodler. He is as much in evi-
dence as ever and continues to have
his ''influence." He will not sub
side until overwhelmed with public
opinion, if not trip to jefferson
City. In the meantime the Demo
cratic press is keeping up bold
front, and when they say anything
about their boodlers it is with a
great show of confidence in their
majority of votes, which they seem
to think will always continue in
the face Of any amount of political
corruption. Elated with their re-
cent victory in the police board
cities, they have about reached the
point attained by great railroad
financier-''the publid be ID >

We would like to see the booze
and Doodle methods resorted to by
tho Democrats here in the recent
election aired when the Ropubli-
cans take up their side Of the in
q,,iry in the contested elections. In
st. Louis the Wagner Butler con-
test is bringing to light all the in
iquities of the Nesbit law and po-
lice domination at the polls. A
rigid investigation Of the booze
and Doodle practices would most
certainly produce astounding re-
suits.

scabs of vintliclive part!sanship
hnve spread themselves all over its
conscience. In this period of the
twentieth century enlightenment
and progress, when men are sup
posedto be in the full enjoyment Of
those privileges of citizenship guar
anteed under the constitution of the
general government, the Democracy
of Missouri uses its power more
despotically than the Republicans
ever dreamed of doing back in war
times. The latter are now almost
denied all representation in Con
gress, held by fraud and dominecr-
ing out cf the legislative balls Of the
state, and made the victims of a
brutal law which permits the vicious
and criminal elements in the larger
cities to make free elections farce.
Democratic influences WELD the
courts of justice and makes resort
to them by Republicans for re-
dress of their wrongs worse than
useless. Iniquities that are almost
sublime infest the Missouri Demo-
cracy. It's whited sepulcher
parading itself in wanton brazon-
ness under tho cloak of alleged in
iuries borne in bygone days, while
its own partisan vilcness smells to
the high heavens.

The Gentleman who Stole.

The St. Louis Republic and the
Jefferson Club say in effect: "Wc
are responsible for the Nesbit law,
but You Republicans must not say
so. If You let us say the law is
bad we may repeal it; but if you
insist on saying it's bad we won't
repeal it,"
This reminds us of the story
told by Congressman Williams of
Mississippi:
''Are you the defendant:" ask
cd a man in the court room, speak
ing to an old negro.
"No, boss" WAS the reply, II
amt done nothin' to be called
names like dat. I'se got a lawyer
here who does the defensing.'
''Then who are you?"
Use de gemman what stole de
chickens. State Republican.

The Independent last week, in
in uncomplimentary allusion to the
Republicans of Missouri, intimated
that Il leopard cannot change his
spots, implying thereby that the
party was no better now than it
was forty years ago, when partisan
passions and prejudices in the state
wore stiff more than smoldering
from the effects of tho civil war.
The implication is not all honest
one, as the editorial writer of the
Independent well knows, for, in
the time that has intervened since
that strife, he has been affiliated
with the Republicans, as he has
with almost every other party op-
posing the Democracy of Missouri.

How Argentenla Treats Her Bach
elors,

One Of the most novel and de.
termined effort to drive the bache-
Tor to matrimonv Or suicide is the
law which has been been promul-
gated in one of the states forming
the Argentine federation. A man
is marriagable when he has com
pleted his Goth year. If from that
date, and till ne passes his Both
birthday, he wishes to remain sim
gle, he must pay s. month to the
state. For the next five years the
tax increases 100 per cent. Be
tween 35 and 50 the bachelor is
supposed to have cryslalized into a
confirmed state, and a strong tinan-
cia' jolt is considered necessary to
awake him from his lethargy, He
is, therefore mulcted to the tune CT
$50 a month.
From the so year to five beyond
the scriptural tlree-score and ten,
the bachelor is mulcted $50, but
having reached the 18th year, re-
lief finally comes, and the tax be-
comes nominal, being reduced to
80 per an2nn. After so man
can remain single without paying
anything. There is Il paragraph
relating to widowers, who are Civ
en- three wears to mourn and pick
a successor. If a man is unable to
pay his taxes he is put i'll prison,
unless he can show Il just cause,
such as lack of employment Or
sickness. A man who can prove
that he has received three declina-
tions in ono year is also considered
to have earned immunity to taxa
tion. 1t is said that the law works
like charm. Since the day it
went into operation the alcaldes OF
the villages and towns have done a
rushing business, and the treasury
is as empty as before, which seems
to indicate that between the two
evils of marrying or parting with
the hard earned coin, tic bachelors
of Argentina prefer the former.
