Dockery Personally Running His
Machine,

That was a fine spectacle at
Spring6eld-the Governor of the
great State of Missouri there with
his coat off, working and sweating
among the cogs, pinions and belts
of his own political machine.
Most men occupying the exalted
position Dockery does, generally
are sufficiently endowed with the
sense of the deceneies that they
stay away from snch gatherings,
and, though they may be the en-
gineer in fact of the ''n1achine,"
the Governor generally remains
ensconsed in the official position
and merely touches the button.
He has lieutenants ON the ground
to carry out his orders.
But it was otherwise with Dock
cry. He went to Springfield in
proper person, aud thus we have
the spectacle of q Governor work
ing amidst the grease and waste

confusion has lost sight Of his vol
untary admissions. He asks us
for information he has already im-
parted to the readers of the hide
pendent. In the issue of that pa
per of June 9Th, is the plain and
unequivocal statement that Repub-
licans here arc being ''seduced
from their party allegiance by the
money and whiskey furnished by
tho OTHER SIDE" This is certain
Iy definite enough information for

II gratifying recognition not only
of such an able man az Mr.. Why

The Issue In Missouri.

The fatal weakness of the nation.
al democratic party lies in its stcr
ility. 1t produces nothing in the
way of an administration pro-
gramme. 1t is essentially icono-
elastic. 1t seeks only to destroy
the principles and methods of the
republican party, but it offers
nothing tangible in return. 1t is
anti-this and anti-that and in favor
of nothing.
The savage of the neolithic age,
armed with stone hatchet, could
accomplish just as much in the way
of destruction rs can the demo-
cracy. The primitive man had
just as much to offer in place Of
what he destroyed as has the dem
ocracy. 1t is a matter of history
that no strictly ANTI-party has
succeeded in this country. Anti
prohibition has not stopped the
flow of rum; anti Musons, of half
a century ago, failed to drive out
secret societies; even anti-slavery
was merel y threat, until vitalizcd
into positive issue by the attack
on the union. The people rccog-
nize that it is not difficult to smash
an artistic piece Of statuary with a
brick, but the people know that
not every loud-mouthcd dcmagogue
that happens along can replace the
statute. Until the democrats offer
a concrete nationa. policy, in place
of the Republican policy, which
they seek to destroy, the people
will have little confidence in their
wisdom.
Here in Missouri, the other side
of the shield is on view; it is the
Republicans who are attacking and
the democrats are on the defenciye.
And what is the Republican state
programmed Is it confined to
generalities, as is true of the ma
tional democracy No; on the
contrary, while condenning the
evil, it provides the remedy. 1t
proves from court records,
from legislative records, and from
decisions by the highest judicial
tribunal in the state, that the state
democracy is rotten to the core.
and it offers a positive programme
to be followed when the democrat
ic political gangrene has been Gu,
