REPUBLICAN REPUTATION.

Only reputation is left TO those Republican poll
ticans who trying the School Fund issue
the present campaign
Mr.. Joseph L. Tatum, a Republican former Elember
of the General Assembly, who voted for the certif-
Gates of Indebtedness, has given in The Republic an
exhaustive and thorough review of the law governing
the validity of this form of bond.
AS a lawyer, Mr. Tatum knows that any talk of a
"dissipated School Fund implies open reputation of
the bond certificates. AS who assisted in substi-
tuting certificates of Indebtedness for negotiable
bonds. he cannot in honor discredt sacred oblga-
ton of the State
Newspapers which insist that the interest the
certificates will not be paid unless the General Assem-
bly, appropriates the money should remember that
there is law compelling that body TO pay the
est the ordinary State bonds. If at any time the
General Assembly refuses to pass bin providing for
the payment of interest any State bond the holder
of the bond is without recourse
But what citizen of Missouri. except the lobster
leaders. would sanction such perversion of power?
The people of this State have been population
lists and will not become enamored of that doctrine
the behest of Republican manipulators. ANY legts-
ator who would cast vote against the payment of
interest on the bonded Indebtedness of the Common
wealth would bring down the execrations of his
stituents.
No legislator has dared will dare to vote for
reputation of the certificates of Indebtedness. Mr.
Tatum has shown that certificates other bonds
alike in imposing obligation, and that they le
gal in every sense Of the word
If Republicans will come out from cover and say
that they in favor of reputation they present
the actual issue If their platform is followed TO its
consistent conclusion other except repudia
ton is left open for them The School Fund is invest
ed in State bonds of valid and legal FORM duly ex-
changed for other valid State bonds with the unan-
approval of both political parties. The Repub
lcan lobster leadership acknowledge the bonds

AGAINST POLITICAL TRAITORS.
No matter what action the Board of Election Com
missoners takes in recognizing the other of the
Republican City Central committees there is doubt
regarding public sentiment on the question.
Judge Bland of the Court of Appeals dismissed the
petition for review of the proceedings of the Re
publican State Committee in ousting the sixteen
ems members of the old City Committee He left the
State organization supreme over local committees.
1t would be little short of preposterous to think
that the Republican voters in St Louis could be sold
and bought by manipuators who have nothing at
stake but their own personal interests.
That Kerens should think that he can deliver the
party vote to Merwether and that Meriwether should
act the theory that the Republicans who voted
him year ago because they had faith In their own
party leadership would be bartered away to the
old Ziegenhein machine are two propositions which
free citizens will not sanction.
History has demonstrated that one of two parties
generally controls municipal well State or ma
tional administration. When the other of two
closely balanced political organizations deliberately
plans to sell its strength to the highest bidder loses
nine times out of ten. of its own votes than it
gains from other sources.
A majority in the Republican City Committee
usurped powers of the party by proceeding to name
the Republicans who TO go on the ticket and to
keep certain places for the benefit of another
organization. Law common political honesty can
not countenance this sort of thing.

TARIFF AND TRUSTS ARE ONE ISSUE.

That the tariff and the in reality constitute
hut one issue, as is the view taken by the National
Democratic Campaign Committee. is fact so appar-
ent 10 the student of existing American conditions as
to be beyond question the part of Intelligent men,
The despotic mOnopoles enjoying absolute
control of American markets have been fortified by
prohibitive duties. The Dingiey law gave them ad-
dona power. Their modern colossal dimensions fol-
lowed the opportunity for monopoly which pre-
sented by the Dingley tariff.
By contributing millions of dollars to Republican
campaign slush funds they bought the control of the
Republican party in order TO that party for their
own selfish ends. They have employed their money
and their influence keep the Republican party in
power.
A substitution of the policy of a tariff for revenue
for that of proscriptve tariff distinctly blow
at the evil trusts that ISSUE it cannot be sepa
rated from the trust issue. If the Dingley tariff is
done away with, the great monopolies of this coun-
try, enrichng a few hundred at the expense of
sO0O0OO0 American consumers will no longer control
the situation. They will have TO return the sys-
tenn of fair and open competition in business. They
viii have TO recognize the natural law of demand and
supply regulating prices They will not he able TO
crush individuals and small business concerns for
their own further enrichment.
1t little wonder that the bitterest resentment is
aroused among the by the popular demand for
tariff revision.
The tariff and the trusts issue. and this Is
the dominant issue of the campaigns of 1902 and 1904
American Democracy is fighting both these evils in
the interest of the people There is good to
believe that American last fully alive

frame a law whose provisions shall check the evil
powers Of the great monopoly combines in this coun-
try.
The fact is obvious that the people have nothing
to expect of Mr. Lttefeld in the direction of effective
antitrust action The Maine Congressman is either
amazingly blind to the truth OF tariff revision as the
surest means of eliminating the trust evil else
cunnngiy endeavoring the voters Of this
try by arranging for grandstand play of opposi-
tion to the trusts which is intended to be futile and
impotent.
The truth of the situation is that the Republicans
have intention of proceeding earnestly against the
trusts. They will probably indulge in a mock effort
10 reach and control the trust evil but this will be
bogus and bunko effort throughout. They will studi-
ously refrain from touching the tariff which created
and maintains the trusts. Congressman Little
field has made this plain by his declaration Of disbelief
in the efficacy of tariff revision means of abolish

LOUISIANA oLEARY's GOOD FORTUNE.


When Louisiana o'Leary comes TO the age of dis

Yet when she starts to kindergarten and first learns

And then her mother will tell of the day when the

The VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
IS the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier IN nature, but few real
lie It's value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take OF It the better; II is not a drug
at ALL but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present IN the stom-
aeh and intestines and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic
u absorbs the injurious gases which
collect IN the stomach and bowels it
disinfeets the mouth and throat from the
poison of eatarrh
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money IS in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antseptics
IN tablet form or rather in the form Of
large pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion
sweeter breath and purer blood. and the
beauty of 1t Is. that no possible harm
can result from their continued use. but
on the contrary, great benefit
A Buffalo physician In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: II advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tents suffering from gas in the stomach
and bowels. and to clear the complexion
and purify the breath, mouth and throat;
] also believe the liver is greatly bene-
flied by the daily use Of them; they cost
but twenty-five cents box at drug
stores, and although in some sense pat
ent preparation, yet I believe I get more
and better charcoal in Stuarts Absorb

charcoal tablets"
