Snsli1,
FoR ONLY.

A Republican organ of st. Louis ehides some of the
party newspapers in the interior of the State over
their comments regarding the State Convention. One
country paper is accused of d~isloyalty because it has
%truthfully remarked that the Republicans will never
win until they fight the enemy as hard as they fight
each other"
The ST. Louis organ says that the members Of the
party are not interested in the distribution of Federal
patronage. ANY delegate 10 the convention which was
held in Jefferson City last week will give different in
formation Every Republican who attended that
gathering understood that the sole purpose of the gath
ering was 70 determine who should pass out the Fed
eral pie for the next two years.
There was not a sincere note which spoke of pos
sible success at the polls next fall. National Commit
teemsn Kerens fought an Endorsement of Secretary Of
the Interior Hitchcock in the interest of his own
patronage counter. He succeeded in carrying out the
lobby agreement" made in the offices of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad and win secure the minority nomina-
ton for United States Senator, an homer which carries
with it a voice in the distribution Of post offices.
Federal Oficeholders controlled the convention.
Realizing that their jobs depended upon their efforts
to serve either Atkins or Kerens. they swung the dele
gates into line on any proposition in which they were
interested.
The day after the convention adjourned. State
Chairman Atkins left Missouri for Washington, where
he is solving patronage questions The Secretary Of
the State ommitt has been safely ensconced in a
Federal office. One of the chief lieutenants of the
State Chairman has been given a position with a COM
Portable salary as a first result OF the chairman's visit
10 Washington. Mr.. Atkins is expected to secure dur
ing the next ten days other nice pIums for the men
who helped swell the majority in the Jefferson City
Convention.
Colonel Kerens, the leader of the other faction. also
left for the East after the convention. He will seek
TO Offset some of the efforts Of the State Chairman to
secure offices. No tommyrot about the Indifference of
the Republicans ito Federal patronage and to would
be leaders who chiefly devote their attention to It"
can Offset the practical exhibitions showing the con-
trary to be true. The bosses made an agreement
under the direction Of the lobby a month before the
State Convention met. That agreement" was kept
by the convention in all essential points. Having
shown their absolute control over the influential poll
tcians In the State, the bosses are now quarrelling
about appointments. 1t is a characteristic sequence
of n Republican convention. The party has not
climbed out of the rut, but will sink deeper and deep
er in the mire as the voters Of Missouri voice their
at the fall electors.

PANIC OF FATrHLEss SERVANTS.

Not without good cause was #. rs the news reports
from Washington announce. that gloom and apprehen-
sion on the part Of the Republican majority marked
the final scenes OF Congress last Tuesday, this termi-
nation Of the session being the closing of a record up
Gu which the people have yet 10 pass judgment.
The Republican majority knows well that il has
failed utterly in the performance of its duty to the
country. There has been q complete and willing per-
Torrance Of duty to the trusts, but. unhappily. this
obedience to trust dictation invariably necessitated ac-
ton hostile TO the people. The Republican majority
seemed TO be controlled by a feyerish eagerness TO be
friend the trusts. Apparently il had forgotten abso-
lutely that Congress is required to be representative
of the American people, and that 1t must answer to
the people for its acts.
At the close of the session. however. a realization
IF this truth comes suddenly 10 Republicans and fills
them with dismay. They can make no satisfactory
explanation Of their neglect of duty. The ominous
truth that this neglect of duty arose from subservience
TO the trusts stands out in all its significant clearness
before the view of the country. Straight from a ses-
sion of u~nvarying betrayal Of the peoples cause, the
Republican party must now go before the people at
the polls and ask for a verdict upon such a record.
The consequent panic in Republican ranks is amply
justified. II is the panic that always seizes the faith
less servant when comes the time for an accounting
with the master.
Rebuke and punishment await the Republican par
ty in the near future. The settlement with the peO-
pie will be n settlement exceedingly costly to the polit-
ical organization which has surrendered the people to
the oppression of the trusts. This truth of treachery
is so well known to voters that there is no way by
which Republican speakers or machine organs can
longer distOrt its meaning. The majority party in the
Congress now just ended has, indeed, the best of rea-
sons for alarm. That party has wrought its own I'M
doing in so blindly obeying the evil commands of the
trusts.

A DEMAND.

Changes in location Of three of the prominent iuap.
cial institutions Of st. Louis are a cause for con-
graduation. As an evidence of prosperity and as
sured permanency the removals TO more connections
quarters are in keeping with the Industrial growth of
this city.
The Bank of has a new building which
is considered one of the best structures OF its kind
west Of New York City. II not the best. 1t is an ex-
ample of modern architecture which is both beautiful
and convenient.
The Germania Trust Company, one OF the new
concerns, has changed to quarters formerly occuIed
by the Continental Bank, which was merged with the
Bank OF The Commonwealth Trust Com
pany is preparing for fits new home in the old Bank
of Commerce Building and expects to be Installed in
about three months.
No one will dare ~prophesy that these changes are
the last which will be made for some time. The
growth of the banks and trust companies demands
the increased facilities. As the cfty's resources
broaden. there will be additional improvements Al.
ready new structures are being erected to NEE, this
demand. 1t is a feature Of the New St. louis of
which every one should be proud.

and covered up the theft by %credlting a second time
the bonds as paid.
/ Auditor Allen explained that the expert" through
ignorance and neglect Of facts, simply confused one
series OF bonds with another.
Instead of admitting the force of Aliens plain
presentation of the facts, the organs pretended that
they did not believe what he said.
Mr.. Tatum yesterday gave an exhaustive state
ment, supported with full citations from the records,
showing that Auditor Allen was entirely accurate.
There is no excuse whatever for Parkes's mistake
or for the persistence Of the organs in reIteratins the
SANDER against the credit of the State. There was
but one series Of 4 per cent Pacific Railroad bonds.
II Parkes had been both candid and well posted he
would never have professed to believe that the 6 per
cent bonds paid later were identical with the Z per
cent Southwest Branch bonds mentioned in the ordi-
nance Of 1873.
As Mr.. Tatum says. II Parkes were to apply his
nonsensical system TO the bond record in 81. Louis, he
would have to charge that bonds OF certain numbers
had been paid three or four times.
Mr.. Tatum leaves nothing to argument. His facts
exhaust the subject. No honest man can hereafter
pretend to believe that the 81, 91sOO0 Of bonds or any
part of them were paid twice.
What is true OF this case is true Of the whole tissue
OF charges made by five experts. Their ridiculous
disagreements would discredit their statements: but
in addition to that, any of their figures taken separate
" are no better than Parkes's Pacific bond mares
nest.

MI
POOR MANS YEAR.

A country correspondent calls attention to the fact
that this is pre-eminently a poor mans year" He
says that more material prosperity is being meted out
TO the farmer with poor land than to any other portion
Of the agricultural community.
Considering the facts which he presents. he Is I'M
d~oubtedly correct. Reports from every section OF the
Middle West do. indeed. tell Of the overhowing rivers
%deluging the river farms. Sheafs Of wheat are float
ing past st. Louis, being carried on the current from
the rich alluyial farms lying alongside the small
streams.
The man with the upland farm is the farmer who
profits by the heavy rains. The first and second bot
tom farms have been soaked until much damage has
been done. Generally speaking, 1t can be asserted
that the rich farmer owns the rich land. 1t is the
young man. the agriculturist who has been unIucky
or the one who has been unable to start farming with
a bottom section, who owns the upland.
He has the most to fear from a drought-the bot
tom farm fares far better in such a year. IN a time
OF flood conditions are reversed. The present year
seems to be made for the man who usually anticipates
with longing the time when he will be able to buy
the land which is now being flooded by the continual
rains.

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR.
MR. RoosEvELTs SEPTEMBER VISIT.

/ MR.. RoOSEvELTS SEPTEMBER VISIT.
In arranging the plans for the reception and enter
tainment of President Roosevelt on the occasion of his
visit to st. Louis in September, the Convention and
Entertainment Committee of the Business Mems
:League viii doubtless bear in mind the truth that Mr..
:Roosevelt is especially friendly toward this city as the
great Middle West metropolis.
At the recent meeting Of the Executive
of the National Association of Republican League
Clubs the President exerted his personal influence TO
sinduee a choice of St Louis as the place for the hold
Ting OF the annual convention of that organization in
: October, and his action viii probably have the desired
effect.
He has in other ways manifested his regard for st.
Louis. He may well be received here as a guest of
exceptional distinction, irrespective OF that conferred
by his high Office.
Regardless Of party feeling, st. Louis should ap-
propriately represent the West in the entertainment
of a President who, born an Fastener, is neverthe-
less SO typieally Western in temperament and aspira-
ton.
This sort Of reception of MI. Roosevelt by a Demo-
cratic city in a Democratic State would testify most
c%reditably TO the ability of the people Of st. Louis and
Missouri to rise above party in doing high honor to a
deserving American

Opinion in Washington is divided as TO the effect which
the result OF the congressional elections will have upon the
presidential contest two years hence. There are Demo-
Gratis VINO doubt the political advantage OF the election of

Gratis who are not anxious for Democratic victory argue
that nothing can be accomplished when both the Senate

UNKEPT

Republican orators will have a difficult time in ,ry-
ing to convince the voters that the record made by
the party in the recent session Of Congress is worthy
of Endorsement.
In the Republican platform adopted at the Missouri
convention is the statement that ''the principles of the
Republican party presented in its national platform of
1900 have been steadfastly adhered to and the promises
therein made have all been fulfilled"
There is no need to bubble over fine points. That
this plank is untrue may be judged from the exact
promises made by the party assembled in the Pbila-
delphia convention.
we recognize that interest rates are a potent
factor In production and business activity reads this
platform. "and for the purpose of further equalizing
and Of further lowering the rates of interest, we IA
yor such monetary Legislation" etc. Congress has not
produced the promised monetary legislation.
Regarding trusts, the Republican platform reads as
follows: I'VE favor such legislation as will effectively
restrain and prevent all conspfracies and combinations
intended TO restrict business, to create monopoiIes. 70
Limit production or to control prices" The subject has
not been mentioned by those in charge of legislation.
To secure favor in the great Southwest, the plat
form announced that Eve favor home rule for and
the early admission to statehood OF the Territories of
! New Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma" Republican
sSenators. fearing a reduction in their majority, have
bbured the Bill which would have redeemed this prom.
Else.
@In the interest OF our expanding commerce we
I recommend that Congress create a Department of
Commerce and Industries in charge of a Secretary
with q seat In the Cabinet" There has been nothing
done in this direction except the forecast of the ap-
3pointnent Of Secretary Cortelyou to the position If
! such q bill were passed.
All Of these distinct promises have been disre-
Sarded. Aside from these platform pledges, the party
