Despite the efforts OF Republican
politicians, the question OF boodling
will not be an issue in the next cam
paign. Any question or measure, in
order to become an issue, must have
two sides. There is only one side to
the boodling question. All honest
citizens, democrats and republicans
alike are opposed to boodling; allare
in favor OF a rigid enforcement Of the
law against that despicable species
Of crime. The splendid record Of the
democratic party Of Missouri for the
past thirty years-a record Of econo-
my and OF uninpeachable Integrity
is something that will command the
confidence Of the people for years to
come.-EDorado Sun.

WHY TRAINS ARE BLOWN UP
Bandits Invent a New Method of
Robbery IN Montana.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 27.-Because
the Northern Pacific railway compa-
ny refused to comply with the de-
mands Of a gang of dynamiters to
deposit a large sum OF money at a
point between Garrison and Missoula,
no fewer than four attempts have
been made within two weeks to carry
out the threat to blow the property
Of the company in Montana "off the
map" as expressed in the ultima
tum.
This Pat Grove mode OF securing
money was divulged to the railroad
officials about three weeks ago, but
the details have only now become
public. The notice which was sent
to General Passenger Agent Fe and
General Manager Hannaford at first
demanded $25, 900 and then that
$50, 900 be given to the engineer OF
light engine to be delivered by him
at designated point west of Garri-
son, on q certain date and at a given
signalirom the bandits. Instead the
railway officials tried to capture the
robbers by a ruse, which, however,
failed ignominiously.
