tional extradtion of fugitive boodlers it promises
to be a document Of importance to the nation.
1t is only fair to mention that the credit for

Roosevelt, but rather to a modest young Missouri

yIRTUOus CHICAGO.

AS many of us as may have been acquainted
with Chicago and Chicagos politics to a degree ap-
preaching intimacy have put their own valuation
upon the moral tone there existent. However Mr..
Lincoln stefens, being Judge jury and public SEN
timent in all matters pertaining to municipal grab
and graft and having expressed 1t as his conviction
that Chicago halfway sanctified as reformed
community, we deferred to his superior and more
experienced Judgment. Mr.. Steffens hath lordly
pen with which in lordly manner he Jousts whole
cities and States. To his utterances we must as a
rule, submit
Nevertheless, when facts confront us which give
the lie even unto Mr. Steffens, then, possibly we
may be justified in trusting once more to our own
opinion: justified, even, In admitting that by SOM.
remarkable circumstance by reason of some uu-
toward ratiocinative lapse, Mr.. Stefens may have
been mistaken. Quite certain 1t is that he must
guess again as to the virtue of Chicago in COM
parison with Minneapolis Philadelphia and Pitts
burg. upon which he poured the yials of righteous
souls damnatory wrath.
That in his last pronouncement the Minister Ex-
traordinary and Ambassador Plenipotentiary Of
McClures Magazine may have been mistaken is
suggested by the following excerpt from news
Dispatch
Chicago, H.. Oct D-The Council Graft
Committee unearthed evidence Of such
startling nature In the Leyee districts that
the members were appalled, by Its diabo-
lism. Boys and girls were stolen and sold
into shame and crime matter of
money making by people whose crime was
winked at by the police.
The Republic does not belittle the Municipal
Voters League of Chicago as refornlative infiu-
ence This league exists practical basis and
some organization upon precisely the same lines
should exist in st. Louis Nor do we Of St. Louis
desire to escape the odium Of or hide away our own
sins by throwing mud at Chicago at Mr.. Steffens
Wherein Mr. Steffens ''stuck to his mutton'-that
is told the story of the Leagues fight and of Chi-
cago's struggle with the franchise question-ap-
plause is his due.
The ground for objection lies in that argr-
ing from disgusting but thoroughly wholesome dis
closures in st. Louis, Mr. Stenens damned the
whole town, lock, stock and barrel Upon a pre-
mise of good work dove by the League, he handed
out to Chicago what was, on the whole, most
generous puff.
Herein are incongruity and injustice, since the
facts do not sustain him. Hitherto. St Louis must
admit. Chicago has excelled in organized energy
among voters but IL zeal for reform has been more
marked in the latter, a corresponding and mis-
placed activity has been injected into all the forces
which make for evil. In some departments Of gov
