A Failure.

OF Cecil Rhodes, who lies at the
point of death at Cape Town, it may
be said that he just escaped greatness.
He was not a great man because, in
the highest interest of humanity, he
took the wrong view.
"Ideas," said he, care useless with
out money" When Chinese Gordon
told him that he had refused large
offer of money from an eastern poten-
tate because it involved a moral sur
render, Rhodes replied: "You made
a mistake. You can't do anything
without money"
Like all men who reduce every mo-
tive to terms of cash, Cecil Rhodes
seemed utterly unable to see anything
noble in humanity. All men were
base and mean.
Asked If the Beers would fight, he
said "No, they prefer to be bought"
This astonishing misconceptien of the
Boer character lay at the bottom of
the Jamison raid, which Rhodes insti-
gated. So blind was be that he could
not believe the millions which passed
into kruger's hands during the few
years before the war were expended
secretly for munitions of war. He in
sisted that the old man absorbed it,
and so the story Of Kruger's enormous
wealth gained currency, his accumu-
lations being grayelv estimated at
1926, 100000
Rhodes himself didn't wake up until
the fact revealed itself in q series of
Boer victories. Then he realized that
his philosophy of universal meanness
was false and that there were men in
the world who had no price. His
present CRITICAL illness is probably due
to the wreck of the project founded
upon this sordid unfaith.
In details, however, Cecil Rhodes
was shrewed and far-seeing. His
dream of Cape to Cairo railroad is
sure to be realized, and the South
African federation which he contem-
plated is rational and humane. But
these merits could not redeem the
essential fallacy in his view of life.
No man can successfully lead men
who does not believe in men Post

generally used to punctuate its edi-
torials. Since 1898 it has generally
apologized for all the outrages COM
mitted by the administration In the
pursuit of its imperialistic policy. 1t
will offer more criticisms upon the
principles of the Kansas City and Chi
cago platforms than it has upon the
policies of the Republican party dur
ing the two past administrations.
In the face of Roosevelt's reversal Of
his position on the trust question, his
sumersault on the Schley controversy,
his trucking to the protectionists on
the Cuban tariff, his contempt for the
Beers and his alliance with Great
Britain in the overthrow OF republics,
the Republic has no word of censure
for Mr.. Roosevelt, but can readily be
classed Roosevelt journal. What
does this mean? The Republic is COM
mercialized. That journal and its
moneyed hackers are willing to sell
out the Democratic party of Missouri,
and it has now commenced its work.
Will the party allow its nefarious work
to succeedp
1t is high time that Ex-Governor
Stone was taking hand in this fight.
Throughout the State the Republic is
understood to be his mouth-piece
Does Governor Stone want it under
stood that if a candidate for the Legis-
lature is not for him for the United
States Senate that therefore the candi-
date is tool of the lobby and should
be defeated? Governor Stone must
either repudiate the Republic or the
Democratic party must repudiate him.
Which shall 1t be, GovernorP-Leba7aOn
Rustic.

Call ian. Most of Csllahan's friends
had 'ft. when Ex Johns 'Big Buck"
app, red on the scene. Hearing how
the vote stood be seized the ballots
and tore them into pieces and made
the people, that were left vote again.
He broke up the organization and
appointed himself judge, clerk and
everything else. He refused to let
Democrats vote unless they voted for
Organ; while others he would take
their ballot and throw them on the
floor. He did Joe Kistler, who wanted
to vote for Callahan this way and was
then and there made to take Kistler's
ticket up off Of the floor and place it
in the box. This was all going on
here in Dent county while Ex-Orgau
was at Rolla buying whiskey by the
gallon and sending it to livery stable
for the boys. Now you know Ex-John
Organs primary methods, don't you?

The "Republlc" Commercialized.

The Democratic press of the State
should take notice that the St. Louis
Republic has undertaken the task OF
delivering the next Legislature over
to the Republicans, in order that a
goldbug corporation capitalist may
be elected to the United States Senate.
In order to show the purpose OF that
paper it is only necessary to call the
attention of Democrats to the articles
recently appearing in the Republic as
editorials, boldly proclaiming the pur-
pose of that paper to oppose the elec-
tion of any Democratic nominee to the
Legislature-either to the Senate or
Housewife has been or will be sub
ject to lobby influence.
We have always understood 1T to be
the rule in party politics that any vo-
ter in party, or any party journal,
has the right to oppose the nomination
of any man for position in the party;
but when the question of a nomination
had been regularly submitted TO the
party through convention or primary
election, then it became the duty of
loyal members of the party, whether
voters or journals, to ratify the action
of the convention or primary and sup
port the nominees. Any other action
has always been characterized as bolt
ing and the offenders eliminated from
the party.
What superior intelligence or super
lative integrity does the management
of the Republic possess that will en-
able it to say to the various counties
or districts whom they may send to
the Legislaturep Or why may not the
men that journal would send to the
Legislature just as likely be lobby tools
as if selected by the Democrats of Ore
gon county or the senatorial district ol
which Oregon county forms partp
The Republic has challenged the sta
bility of the party organization and
the assault has been made in ample
time to be resisted, if the press will
take up the matter now; but if it is tc
be part of the policy of the party
that Democratic nomination does moi
bind either the Democratic voters OF
I Democratic journals, the useless ex
pense and inconvenience OF holding
and attending conventions and pri
maries might just as we'll be dispensed
with now, and not enact the farce o.
making nominations that do not nomi
nate.
1t is a lamentable fact that not since
the silver contest Of 1895 has the Re
public been, in reality, Democrat,
paper. II has pretended to eepous,
} the cause Of the party, and the part.
has often been injured by responsi
bility for Its un-Democratic utterances
but In truth and In fact its principle
. are commercialized, Its policies ar
capitalized, and the dollar mark !

Organs Primary Methods.

Ex-John Organ seemsimore or less
put out about the way his primary was
held in this county on February Sth,
between he and Callahan. He says:
"Organs friends here wanted to ap-
point two judges and two clerks, and
Callahan appoint the same number,
and take the names of the voters,"I
no such proposition was made to
Callahan; besides, on January 21st,
when the committee met and called
this primary over the protest of Gala
han, he Organ stood before that com
mittee and plead for primary cleo
tion, stating "that it was the only fair
way to nominate man for the Senate,
and that it could be held without any
expense as he and Callahan owned
printing Offices and could print their
own tickets, AND THAT TWO JUDGES
WAS ALL THAT WAS NECESSARY; AND IF
NECESSARY AFTER THE VOTE WAS CAST
THE JUDGES COULD SELECT TWO CLERKS
TO ASSIST THEM IN Counting AND THAT
WAS ALL THAT WAS NECESSARY. This
is what he said before the committee
and every member of the committee
knows it. The night before the pri-
mary the Secretary Of the committee,
and friend to Organ, made the pro-
position that Callahan select one of
the judges and Organ the other; Calla-
han "enquired who represented Organ
in his absence to Phelps county," and
was informed that his son, j. Burt
Organ, represented him; whereupon
his son was consulted and the judges
we're selected, he selecting one and
Callahan the other.
Now Organ asks, "why would he
(Callahan) not allow moreP" Because
this was his (Organ's) own proposition
to the committee and in his absence
Callahan would not agree to anything
else. But Organ says Callahan die
this "because he wanted to vote Re
publicans and Repeaters, and did vote
them"
The evening before the primary hi
son j. Burt went Bittick's barber shoI
and said to him: "Watch me tomorrow
evening just about the time polls close
am going to march gang OF Re
publicans to the polls and vote then
before Callahan knows it,, And he
did it, He would bring them in BY
the half dozen from certain place or
the public square and vote them. j
Burt Organ had all the repeating dor I
that was done and he knows it arc
J won't deny it.
