In the State campaign ROW under full Roadway in
Missouri the Democratic party occupies n position of
exceptional advantage. The bogue issues upon which
Missouri RepubIicanism has chosen to make its CAM
paign. those of mismanagement of the School Fund
and extravaganza in the reduction of the State debt,
have already fallen fiat as winning issues from the
Republican point Of view. They are, instead, issues
that in themselves array Missouri soters in support
of the Democratic party. inasmuch rs their discussion
emphasizes the truth OF an excellent investment OF
the School Fund and a liquidation OF the State debt
under conditions OF economical administration not
excelled in any other State OF the Union. The Demo-
cratic campaign in Missouri may well he vigorous,
confident and aggressive.

TRYING To REACH THE TRUTH.

Circuit Attorney Folk should be able TO render ser
vice of exceptional value in the movement which he
has now begun TO get at the facts accounting for the
recent defeat of the street railway bill by the House of
Delegates combine.
This measure, favored by the Mayor. the present
City Council and the Associate City Counselor. was
drawn distinctly in the public interest. 1t provided for
a regulation OF the street railways which should insure
greater safety and n better transit service. The bin
should have received the unanimous vote of the House
If the members Of that body were DESTROYS Of doing
their duty in behalf of the local community.
Yet, strange TO say, the House was stubbornly hos
tile 10 this measure. All ST. Louis demanded its pas
sage. The only interest opposing it was that of the
street railway corporations. The House of Delegates
aligned itself with the street railway corporations and
against the people and the bill was defeated. Circuit
Attorney Folk may well attempt 10 solve the mystery
attaching to such a record. Ii is TO be hoped that he
shall get at the truth.

RECENT COMMENT.
Wireless. TeIesnphy n Solid Fact.

Lesne's Weekly.
Now that the sensational and mine days wonder period
following the Invention OF wireless telegraphy has passed.
and the period OF practical development and extension has
set in, we shall probably hear much less through public
prints about this really marvellous device. although. before
we are fairly aware OF 1t. 1t will bein general and familiar
use throughout the world. That wireless telegraphy has
already been brought well within the realms of practical
usefulness is evident by the fact that our Government is
establishing a system for its own use in Alaska and that
nearly all the ocean steamship companies are equipping
their vessels with wireless apparatus. That 1t is being taken
Up also as a new and promising field for the investment
OF capital Is evident from the statement that a company
has just been formed in England with a capital of about
$4,000 for the purpose Of operating an extensive system
of both wireless telegraph and telephones. The West
minister Gazette says It Is informed in behalf Of this COM
pany. that they can telegraph or telephone fully five miles.
and by the time the company is in working order they
expect to be prepared to sell an apparatus with which ev-
cry one viii be able to telegraph or telephone anywhere
within at least twenty miles. The ground will be always
used as a conductor. All that is needed, 1t is said. is to
connect the telephones in a room with the transmitter or
receiver by means OF a short wire with the nearest gas
or water pipe. which will carry the current to and from
the earth. The walls of houses do not form any obstacle
to the transmission of messages. II the public mind had
not long since lost Its capacity for staggering over the
achievements of modern inventive genius. 4. would surely
experience that sensation when It contemplates the posi-
bIiities opened up by this announcement

TAR1FF REVISION THE ONLY WAY.

Despite the fact that the Government, through its
agents of the Department of Justice, is said to be stu
diously searching for material j~ustifying action to pre-
vent the consummation of the beef merger now being
organized by the big packing houses of this country,
the new combine is more than likely to go into effect.
Whatever is possible to the shrewdest legal talent in
perfect the Beef Trusts monopoly without establishing
a basis fer prohibitive injunction proceedings will as
suredly be done. The mere fact that many such mo-
nopoly consultations are already in existence and ap-
parently secure against the law significantly indicates
the probability Of a successful merger OF the packers
interests With the perfected Beef Trust once estab-
lshed the most important of food products will then
be absolutely controlled by a monopoly combine.
American consumers, butchers and retail meat deal
ers already know TO their bitter cost what to expect
when the big beef merger is completed. Within the
past few months the great packing-houses of this
country have made a campaign" of tremendous profit
TO themselves at the expense of the public. Acting
under an agreement which gave them control Of the
situation they advanced the price of meat to exorbf
tant figures. There was no way Of relief open to con.
sumers. The only choice was that between paying the
prices demanded by the combine or going without
meat. This condition of affairs meant actual depriva.
ton to thousands of American families in poor cir
cumstances.
The National Butchers and Retail Meat Dealers As
ISOLATION. in starting a movement to secure the re
moval Of tariff duties on Beef Trust products, has
shown a clear perception Of what Is perhaps the only
effective line Of action now open to the victims Of mo-
nopoly. 1t is apparent that this association has NO
hope Of relief through a&ssewarm governmental prose

PoEsY STILL AT THE FRONT.

Those time-worn and cynical souls who persist In a
reiteration of their mournful belief that the divine
spark of poesy has died out of the human breast are
hereby respectfully invited to contemplate two quite
recent developments which go to prove that they are
woefully in error.
The first Of these significant indications Of mankind's
maintained interest in the gentle art Of poetzing Is
found in the great success of. The Republics Skinker
road prize poem competition. The second is seen in
the fine enthusiasm attending the crowning of an Eng
lish nobleman as a bard the other day, a ceremony
hardly surpassed In genuine fervor by the coronation
of King Edward himself.
The Republics prize poem competition brought over
800 native American poets into the lists. Popular in
terest In the competition was Of the most sincere char
acter. Many original poems Of high literary quality
were produced. And, at the very close Of The Repub-
lies mastersinger contest, comes the cable story OF the
quaint English celebration Of the Druidical rites of the
Eisteddfod in the ancient town Of Bangor recently, the
principal event of which was the comforting of a bardic
degree upon the Marquis Of Anglesey, poet, and his
decoration with the proper insignia. 1t was a great
day for Anglesey and poesy.
Wherefore let US rejoice that the singers are still
with us and that we still hold in such dear regard
the heartening gift of song. Well be in a mighty bad
way when this condition no longer exists-because it
will mean that the world has forever lost its youth.
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-09-16

Tariff revision is distinctly the dominant issue of the
congressional campaign now under way throughout
the United States. So strong is the public sentiment in
favor of a revision of the tariff that Chairman Bah
cock Of the Republican Congressional Committee him
self advocated this policy, acting in obedience to the
demands Of the Northwestern constituency whom he
represented in Congress. The fact that Mr.. Babcock
has since been both wheedled and bulldozed into the
protectionist ranks does not alter the situation in the
remotest degree. The popular demand for tariff re-
vision. once so openly recognized by the chairman Of
the Republican Congressional Committee, will make
itself felt ar the polls in November. The result should
be an overwhelming Democratic victory.
