DEMOCRACY AND LABOR.

Governor Dockery's Labor Day demonstration OF
Missouri Democracys friendliness toward organized
labor, as proved by the many benefcent laws now on
the statute books in recognition Of the just demands
of labor, was convincing and authoritative.
The present Governor Of Missouri is especially
qualified to dwell on these truths and has won the
right 10 demand confidence from every workingman in
the State. During his long service rs a Congressman
Mr.. Dockery voted for every measure asked for by
organized labor which was reported favorably by the
House Committee on Labor.
So signal was his service IN this field that It was
specifically recognized by the labor organizations and
Mr.. Dockery commended for his good work.
This record of the Governor and the State Of Mis-
souri, is a consistent Democratic record. American
Democracy is in its very essence friendly to the work
ingman. 1t would cease TO be Democracy IL It were
not thus faithful to the great mass Of the American
people.
In Missouri the true brand of American Democracy
still remains in force, and the State laws and the peo-
pies Democratic representatives In the National Cor
gress alike testify to the lasting and consistent fact
of Democratic friendliness toward the Iaboring class.

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.


President Roosevelt is right in each instance when
he asserts that the Monroe Doctrine is not a doctrine
Of aggression, but of defense, and that an effective
navysis necessary to insure that the Monroe Doctrine
shall be respected by the rest of the world.
The United States must of necessity claim and
maintain supremacy on this continent We cannot
permit any European Power to regard American ter
ritory as n field for colonization which means the
extension of the colonizng governments sovereignty.
This is a defensive attitude which is imperative for
our own safety and peaceful Development In again
asserting the doctrine formulated under President
Monroe's administration Mr.. Roosevelt but makes a
timely announcement of his allegiance TO one OF the
plainest American duties.
A formidable navy must be behind the American
~insistence upon respect for the Monroe Doctrine, be
cause this Government must at all times stand pre-
pared to make its position good. The ethical phase of
the question would receive little consideration from
the great Powers If the strength to maintain the right
were lacking to us. Especially as matters now stand
would the Monroe Doctrine be likely to meet with de-
NAL at the hands of Europe were any Power con-
WINGED that we were mintantly weak enough to- be
affronted with impUnity. Our unfortunate position in
the Philippines would be used as tending TO prove
thatlwe are acquiring territory in the Eastern Hemis-
tent with supremacy in the Western, leaving the Old
World untroubled by our presence as a competing
land-grabber.
The necessity, therefore, of an emphasized declare
ton of the Monroe Doctrine would seem so obvious as
TO justify President Rooseyelts recent utterance on
that head. There is no spirit of hostility to any other
Power in such an utterance, as the President himself
takes pains to point out. There is no aggressiveness
in the declaration. 1t is merely an announcement that
the Monroe Doctrine, based on the right, must con-
tinue to be respected by the world.

Of Statistics, upon which The Republic has already
commented AZ length. cannot fail TO further arouse
American voters TO the necessity for tariff revision.
VIII should the millions of consumers in this coun-
try continue to bear a tariff burden which serves but
70 make more difficult for them the earning of q liv-
ing and which benefits only the trusts?
There is no excuse for an American forbearance
further delaying n revision OF the Dingley tariff.
There is no reason, save that of blinded folly, for
American support OF n political party which is thus
hostile 10 the welfare OF the masses in order to in
sure gigantic profits for a few hundred trust mag
mates.
When even Republican newspapers begin to con
cede that the Dingley tariff operates to the injury Of
the people. the time for a revision of the tariff has
surely come.
II is such facts ms these that are making tariff
revision the issue Of tie day. The traditional policy
Of the Democratic party on the tariff question makes
American Democracy the only consistent party Of
tariff reform. The national Democratic organization
cannot but wage the campaigns OF 1902 and 1904 on
the tariff issue. The duty OF Democracy to the peo-
pie demands this line OF action The tariff must be
revised.

In attempting to make capital for White. an arrant
politician, the lobster leadership" is pursuing SUI
perinrendent Darlington with SANDERS and incidentally
writing up the school teachers OF Missouri as 4 lot of

One good which may flow from evil is the probability
that most OF the Republican teachers who can vote

Yesterday morning the ST. Louis public schools
opened for the year 1aO@-O3. with an attendance estI-
mated at between G5.Goo and 10000. which is reason
ably certain 10 be increased to 10000 within a week.
being the largest opening attendance in local school
history.
On the preceding day some 100 teachers and
principals Of these schools met At the High School in
conference with Nj. Sedan. Superintendent of Edu-
cation, at which time the superintendent outlined the
work for the new term, many improvements having
been determined upon. The greatest interest and en-
thusiasm prevailed
The people OF ST. Louis may contemplate both
these s~pectaces with sound satisfaction. Increasing
attendance on the part Of school children and increas-
ing zeal on the part of their teachers promise larger
educational results. Already the public schools OF
St Louis rank in standards among the highest In the
country. The school year now Just begun should
more than maintain the high educational standard a.
ready set in these schools and testify anew to their
incalculable value TO the local community.

THE LATE JUDGE TREAT.

Judge Samuel Treat Of st. Louis. who died last
Monday at the home of his daughter in Rochester
was an admirable type of the American lawyer and
jurist and an equally excellent example of citizenship
of the highest order in worthiness and devotion to the
public welfare.
AS Judge of the Eastern United States District of
Missouri Judge Treat made a record which places
him among the foremost American jurists. During
the many years of his service on the Federal bench
he was a resident of ST. Louis and was especially ac-
tive in forwarding the cause of education In this city
and State. He was one of the incorporators OF Wash.
ington University, taking the most vital interest in the
affairs of that institution; he helped also TO organize
the ST. Louis Law School and was a trustee of the
Missouri Botanical Garden.
So distinguished a citizen cannot pass away with
out causing sincere sorrow and n sense Of great loss
to the community in which his life work was done.
The younger men of st. Louis may well afford TO be
stimulated to their highes. endeavor by the example
of the useful and distinguished life now closed. Its
lesson is of the most genuine nobility in character.
aspiration and service.

GATHER THEM TOGETHER.

Good citizens are always more numerous than bad
ones.
Bad citizenship wins by dividing good citizenship
into hostile camps or by worming its way into the
governing organizations of rival political parties.
Good citizenship wins when it gets its enemies
punched and IN the open.
This year Missouri lobbyists and schemers have by
good luck been caught remarkably we'll punched and
at a distance from cover.
Kerens, Phelps, the Zigenheinltes, Meriwether and
the Buffers have been rounded up. Their power of
working damage has been crippled.
The ST. Louis Star says that The Republic has
ousted the regular Republican organization in st.
Louis" The Republic pleads guilty to having un-
earthed and presented the facts, but 1t is glad TO tes-
tify that there was enough moral force among the
decent Republicans in St. Louis TO defeat the plot of
usurpers and fxers.
The Star should accept Senators Farris and Orchard
into its company of politicians.
Farris says that The Republic caused $1,000 to be
sent to his district for the purpose of defeating his re-
nomination. Like the Star, Farris exaggerates the
work of The Republic. The only enemies he had to
contend against were the honesty of sincere Democrats
and the pride of self-respecting Democrats in his dis
trict. II there was any money he had it.
Orchard. who seems TO have been also renominated,
has been attributing too much to The Republic. With
the aid of Republicans, led by a Republican railroad
attorney. he has followed Farris in overcoming the
pride and sincerity of an unorganized opposition. He
claims that he has %triumphed over The Republic.
The Star and Orchard and Farris belong together

EVIL WORKING OF THE TARIFF

In commenting upon the report of the Massa.
chusetts Bureau of Statistics which showed that the
cost of living in 1902 has increased noticeabIy as COM
pared with 1897, the Chicago Tribune, stanchIy Re
publican though it be, comedies that 1.-The Massa-
chusetts workingman is not so well off from the point
of view of the cost of living as he was in 1897,
This confession from so eminent n Republican au-
thority means that the evil operation of the Dingley
tariff is now coming too plainly in view TO be ignored
with any pretense to honesty. This tariff, which was
not in operation in 1897, has manlfestly served for
the enormous profit Of protected corporations at the
sore cost of the American workingman. The manu-
facturer gets the exclusive benefit of high protection.
To the thousands Of workingmen and to the consum-
ing masses generally 1t means nothing but an in
creased cost OF living, brought about by the higher
prices made possible by tariff destruction Of compe-
tition.
