FOR DECENCY IN POLITICS.

While the Republican organs of this city are shout
ing over the harmony which has been effected be-
tween Mr.. kerens and Atkins they should not neglect
to denounce the members of the st. Louis Republican
Club who are fighting the Kerens- Phelps deal.
These Republicans have called a special meeting
for this evening. The transaction in the office OF the
Missouri Pacific Railroad will he discussed.
1t is not surprising that the st. Louis Republican
Club has Il protest. For several years the members
of this Observation-Disclosures to represent the
best element in the p~arty-have been fighting evils in
Republican ranks. They prevented the denomination
of NeSenhein, even though they failed to eliminate
him. They succeeded i'll compelling the Ziegenhcin
managers TO accept a few nominees of their choosing
at the last city election.
Owing largely to their influence. Republican Ma
tional Committeeman Kerens was prevented from re
vivins Ziegenheinism when he attempted to secure the
reappointment of his Federal oticeholders. They
have consistently fought the nomination Of men who
We're suspected Of being under the influence of the
lobby. They have stood for the better sort of politics,
and, even though weak in practical details. have ac-
complished much good in saving the self-respect Of
Republicans.
Aside from any friendship which they may feel for
State Chairman Atkins in the attempt of the Kerens-
Phelps lobby to handicap his efforts. the st. Louis Re
publican Club realizes that if the party is ever to re-
gain a standing in this city action must be taken
against any agreement which purports TO bind them
to acquiescence.
To-night's meeting will probably not change the
party's attitude toward the Phelps Kerens deal, but it
should give Republicans with ideals an opportunity to
express their disgust with the existing order. For

TIE TARIFF AND TIE TRUSTS.

III Nli -H'' -
From Washington comes the announcement that
the Executive mmit of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee is considering plans for making the
trusts and tariff the leading issue of The coming cam
paign for the election Of Representatives in the Ma
tional Congress.
The Democratic party has everything to gain from
a campaign conducted on this issue. Indeed. the
situation is that the people themselves are debating
the issue for the political struggle of this year and of
1904. They have come 10 see so clearly the tfuth
that the tariff imposes Il heavy burden upon them for
the exclusive benefit of the trusts that the paramount
nature of this issue is made absolutely certain. They
have learned, through the Beef Trusts greed and AFRO
gance. the ultimate evil Of the trust system to such a
convincing extent that they demand with Irresistible
insistence the correction of trustism by means Of a
revision of the tariff that shall destroy the trust mo-
nopolies of products and markets.
The Democratic party will meet the people half
way by making the Congressional campaign on the
tariff trusts issue. There is no hope of Republican
action against the trusts or for revision of the tariff.
That party is so completely under the dominance OF
trust magnates that its usefulness to the people Is
gone. IT is the party of the trusts and of the burden
some tariff which created the trusts, and it must be
removed from power in the Government as the first
step toward relief from tariff taxation and trustism:
Never before in this country has there been so distinct
an alignment of the people against a favored and
privileged class as is now witnessed.
The Democratic Congressional Committee should
by all means make trusts and the tariff the m
issue Of the approaching campaign. The campaign
literature. the work of Democratic speakers and of
Democratic newspapers. must all deal aggressively
with this issue. The American people are determined
upon relief from trustism and the tariff, and the Ma
tional Democracy must lead the movement which shall
terminate in victory for the people.

IN MEMORY OF DUTIES WE'LL DONE.

In his speech at Arlington Cemetery yesterday
President Roosevelt directed attention to the fact that
this country is averse to increasing the number of
national holidays. The cheapening effect Of numer-
Gus holidays is realized by those who would keep alive
the memory of important events. The European Gus
tom of frequent observances will never be adopted
here.
The three national memorial days-Thanksgiving.
July Fourth and Decoration Day-have not lost their
the blessings received is revived each fall, the birth of
the nation is recalled each natal day. while the sacri-
fees and work of the soldiers are brought to mind at
the close of each May.
In the accounts Of yesterdays celebrations the
most cynical will not find cause for discourasement.
In city, hamlet and country the spirit of reverence has
survived. The note in the speeches of the day was
as high as two decades ago. when the number of
graves to be marked by Loving hands was smaller by
a half than now.
AS the lines of veterans become shorter and the
steps faiter in the march. it behooves the Younger
generation to take up the task of those passing away.
Patriotism is shown not only on the battlefield. but in
the devotion to duty which commentaries the courag e
of those who fought for their convictions.
Patriotism has another form. Just as the volunteer
of former years felt called upon to advance in defense
of his principles. so the present generation has the
work of saving the country from the inroads of selfish
men. The publication of politics. the upbuilding of
the city and State and the reformation Of evil condi-
tons are duties which the soldier-citizen cannot neglect
without lowering the standards made by the wearers
of the blue and gray.
That this work is being carried forward in many
places is evident. The soldier in peace is showing his
bravery by fighting corruption in many quarters. The
veterans who marched to the cemeteries yesterday be-
gan the work now being carried forward by their
posterity. It makes no difference whether the blue or

Ought to Unite Against Orchard.

FarrlngtOn IMOD Times.
The Democratic Convention in the Twenty-sscond Sena-
torial District last week failed to make a nomina ton, and
the whole matter was referred back to the people and a
primary election is to be held to nominate a candida tie.
That is the district from which Senator Orchard halls, and
opposition to him on account of his close relation with the
lobby has much to do with the trouble there. Orchard
ought to be defeated for the nomination, but he has a
positive following. and, rs there are several candidates
in the field. the opposition vote may be so divided that he
will bob up again as the nominee. He and his friends
agreed to refer the matter back to the people in a pi-
mary on the condition that all the candidates would sign
a written agreement to remain in the field. 1t was a
foolish thing Tor them to do, for that is the only way
that Orchard stands any show for the nomination in a
primary. The antilobby Democrats Of that district ought
to get together and agree upon some one OF the other can
dfdates and stick to him.

YATES AS AN ISSJTE

Reports from springfield indicate a feeling on the
part of the people of Illinois which should result in
the defeat of the Republican candidates for the Legis-
lature this fall. The feeling is natural and not sur
prising. to those conversant with the fierce fight which
has been waged among the Republican bosses of that
State and the consequent disclosure of party secrets.
Above everything else, the election of Republican
nominees for the Legislature will mean the continued
power of Governor Yates as the political boss of IL
linois. His boast that he has never lost a political
battle may perhaps be true of his factional fights. but
he has never made himself-his methods, his machine
and his assertions of supremacy-the issue until this
fall.
1t is hardly probable that any enthusiasm will be
displayed by ostensible friends of the Governor in
aiding him to secure an Endorsement at the polls. The
b%ulldozing tactics which have resulted in bringing so
many manipulators into his camp are not of the sort
to encourage exceptional efforts in his behalf.
The ambitions of Governor Yates will not be ended
with the election of Congressman Hopkins to the
United States Senate. His own desires for continued
political supremacy will not stop at any obstacle which
stands in the way of his ultimate success. The ma
chine methods which he has used viii be put to a
further test If the voters permit the Republicans to
control the Legislature.
As Senator Mason has said LET the Governor

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR
SPECIFIC

Republican newspapers which are attempting to
discount the efforts of Democrats opposing the re-
turn Of lobby members of the State Senate could show
their colors no more plainly than by their present
spirited defense of Senators Orchard and Farris.
This defense has taken the form of innuendo
against those who have determined to rid the upper
branch of the General Assembly of the lobby influence.
Their motives are attacked and the imputation Of de-
ceit cast against them.
With the defeat Of Farris and Orchard, the back
bone of the lobby in the Senate would be broken. They
are recognized as the principal allies of the Repub-
licans in doing the bidding of the lobby. Republican
Senators would rather see them returned than two
other Senators. who, though Republicans, would re-
fuse to work as the lobby directed.
Democrats are in earnest in this matter. In the
Sixteenth District Representative c. C. Dickinson has
gained the Senatorial nomination against the oppo-
sition of the lobby. 1t is said that John Mckinley,
whom the Republicans of the Fourth Senatorial Dis
trict have nominated TO succeed Senator DAVIDSON, a no
torious ally of the lobby, is pledged to keep no alliance
with the Republican members now composing the SEN
ate. If this report is true, the Republicans in the
Fourth, who have a majority of about 1000. have
made an exception to a rule which has made the mi
nority members of the Senate a disgrace to Missouri
legislation.
In other districts This same good work is going on.
A combination of eighteen members controls the Sen
ate. The defeat of four or five of these will assure
better laws. 1t will mean that the lobby will not over
ride the wishes of the people at the text session of the
General Assembly. Specific remedies have been given
to cure specific evils. If critics choose to confine them
selves TO generalizations. they show a weakness which
is gratefully appreciated by the men against whom
the people will fight.

GRAND JURY EDUCATIONAL SERVICE.

phA-ND Jth1 ElJllA iloNAl. SENNljI.
When the April Grand Jury's final report is sub
mitted to Judge Douglas this morning the community
will be we'll pleased if that official paper is found to
go deeply into the various methods by which the
Doodle gang has been robbing the city for years past.
Next to the exposure, Indictment and punishment
Of the boodlers, the most important duty devolving up
on a Grand Jury in the present crisis is that of EN-
tightening the people as to the many tricks of the
the evidence revealing the practices of the gang.
tain authoritative Information of these practices. And
full truth.
Good citizens must remember that the movement
for municipal publication will not end with the break
ing up Of the Doodle gang. This is a first and very
important step, of course, and until the task of punish
ment has been thoroughly performed there should be
no dissipation of energy. After punishment has been
administered, however, another momentouS task will
confront the local community. The utmost vigilance
must then be exercised TO prevent the organization
Of another Doodle gang: to safeguard the municipality
from another lot of thieves following the practices of
the old gang.
For this reason is it well that every turn and twist
and crafty trick of the bOodlers be made familiar to
the people. Popular attention should be kept vitality
concerned with Municipal Assembly movements.
Owing to the teachings of Grand Jury reports, the
people should be able promptly to detect the first sign
Of a reorganization for Doodle. The electing of none
but honest men to the Municipal Assembly should be
supplemented by seeing to it that dishonest men have
no opportunity for plumber. The educational value of
a frank and intelligent Grand Jury report may not
easily be overestimated. The people need the infor-
nation that can come only through such channels.

beware of Creating Parasites.

Popular Science Monthly
Self-preservation has always been the first law Of ma
ture, and that which best insures this is the greatest gain.
So unerring is this law that it is easy to create a class of
paupers or mendicants by simply letting il be known
that food or aims will be given to those who ask. All
considerations of pride or self-respect will give way to the
imperious law of the greatest gain for the least effort All
ideas of justice which wout1 prompt the giving of an
equivalent vanish before it, and men will take what is
profered without thought of a return or sense of gratitude.
In this respect men are like animals. In fact. this is pre-
cisely the principle that underIies the domestica ton of
animals and the tanning of wild beasts. So soon as the
creature learns that it will not be injured or molested and
that its wants will he Supplied. it submits to the will of
man and becomes a-parasite. Parastisn. indeed, through
out the organic world is only an application of the law
Of parisrnony. Pauperism produced in the manner de-
scribed is social parasitisn. But parasitism always re-
suits in degeneracy. and pauperism. engendered in society
by well-meanng persons ignorant of the law of parsinony,
Is social parasitic degeneracy.
