We have heard so much of the
great personal integrity of Goyer-
nor Dockery Ito which we enter no
deniaD that it causes us to wonder
why be does not apply it to the
regulation Of public affairs in this
state AS they are being administer
cd by his appointoes. One whose
own personal integrity is so abso-
lutte should not hesitate to demand
honorable and Just conduct of his
subordinates even though it may
call for the sacrifice of illegal party
maiorities. Integrity in politics is
Just as much a virtue and quality
to be expected of Missouri's high
est officer as when it concerns bis
private capacity. For instance
Governor Dockery might say to his
police and election boards in St.

The civil suits against Coal Oil
Inspector Flynn and his predeces-
sors r. B. Speed and D. O'C. Ira
cy, suggest the inquiry. Why
were they not brought long ago!
In 1899, while Speed was in Of
flee, the Legislature passed a law
cutting down the allowance and
fees to S7o00 per annum and Or
dering the inspector to turn over
all the excess above $1,000 to the
state lre0surer,
+ Speed refused to turn in the fees
in excess of $1,000 on the ground
that the law was unconstitutional
and his successors: Tracy and
Flynn have pursued the same
course.
Why has the auditor allowed
four years to elapse without en-
forcing the law in the courts!
Sec. 103S9, r. S. 1899, provides
that the state auditor ''shall direct
prosecutions in the name of the
state for all official delinquencies
in relation to the assessment, col
lection and payment of the revenue
against all persons who, by any
means, become possessed of public
money or property and fail to pay
ever OF deliver such money or pro-
perty as required by law and
against debtors of the state"
Why was not suit instituted in
July, 1899, when Speed made his
first return under the new law and
refused to comply with its provis'
ions? And why has the matter
been neglected ever since!

Gets the Responsibility Right.

The Post Dispatch, although
professedly Il Democratic organ,
is not so partisan that it can swa,
low all the rascality that is now
being done by that party in Mis-
souri, without pr otest. Here is
what the Post has to say about the
recent political fraud revelations
in St. Louis:
''The indictments Of w. A. Nor
row, confidential secretary to Coy.
Dockery, and at one time assistant
secretary of the Democratic State
Committee, and of Joseph j. Gill

teeman, and the re;ndictment of
Thomas f. Barrett, former mar
shall of the St. uis'Court of APP
peals, for alleged criminal work i'll
naturalization frauds brings the
responsibility for naturalization
crimes Inside the doo- of the Dem
ocratic organization. The evidence
points to systematic and wholesale
frauds in the ballot box by. men
holding important officie. ard par
ty positions in the Democratic Or
canization. These frauAas could
hardly have been committed with
out the knowledge and eonseat OF
men in higher places. These are
the men who should be caught.
The prosecution should 90 higher
up and should be made thorough.
1t is a pity that similar work can
not be done in the election frauds
committed in this city at the polls.
| There is no more important work
not even the exposure and pros
ecution of the boodlers-than the
/ exposure and prosecution of the
rascals who have manufactured
voters, repeated at the polls, stuff
ed the ballot box and miscounted
the ballots in this city. Every one
should be sent to the penitcntiary.
st. Louis can never have perma
ment good government until it has
honest elections. With dishonest
city elections the city is menace
to the State.

gayest of all, are the upholstered ham

used to sit every day in the dust of the

So holy was he thought to be that
people came from far and near to be
cured of their diseases by the simple
process of sitting on the other side
OF the road and looking at him. 1t
was not necessary for him to do any
thing; he gave them neither medicine
nor advice; probably he did not even
know they were there. The mere prox-
unity to so much concentrated holiness
was presumed to be sufficient to con-
quer any ordinary ailment
