a better motive than revenge for Gen.
Woods official conduct 10 condemna-
ton of a political favorile of the Sen

for the good of the service. 1t is per-
fectlv patent favorism on the Presi-
dents part. 1t is an injustice to hun
dreds of deserving officers. l; tends
TO demoralize the army. The charge
that Wood accepted for himself and

Mr.. Halves is an ambitious young
man who thinks the Democracy of
this State owes him much, and he
would like to take his pay IN the
honor that clusters about the gov.
ernorship. He is an aggressive
young man and has been quite ac-
tive in city politics. for which he
has received some reward, having
been appointed one of the police
commissioners, first by Governor
Stephens, and retained by Cover
nor Dockery. He and his friends
have been endeavOrlng for n year
or more to create for him a boom

he seems to imagine is his due,

But Mr.. Iiawes claims to be in.
strumental in taking up another,
ut the time comparatively unknown,
young man and securing for him
the Democratic nomination for Cir.
cult Attorney of the city Of st.
Louis. This young man was elect
ed, and it proved that there was
more in him than even Mr.. Halves
or any of his friends possibly be-
lieved. He did something that had
never been done before i'll st. Louis,
although the need and the oppOr
tunity existed and which any of his
predecessors, with the same earnest
ness and determination, might have
done; he began a crusade against
corruption and boodling in munich
pal affairs, and with such success
that his name has come be honOred
among all classes who believe in
honesty and faithfulness in public
officials. And more-he started n
crusade against boodling which so
awakened the public conscience to
an appreciation of the enormity Of
this species of public corruption,
that earnest investigation with re-
sultant exposure was begun in the
legislative halls of the State.
The Farmington times and herald. (Farmington, St. Francois Co., Mo.) 1902-1905, 1903-11-26

So general was this sentiment
that it overshadowed all other com.
ers, and especially the burning am
bition of Mr.. Halves. Mr.. Halves
could not bide this; he could not
bear TO see Mr.. Folk, whom he
claims to have brought forth from
obscurity, preferred before him,
and a stupid jealousy appears to
have taken possession OF him.
That is what his speech sounds
like; also, that if he cannot be
Governor he is determined that
Folk shall not be; that with the
machine and the ward workers,
which he knows so well how to ma
nipulate, he will see that Folk does
not carry st. Louis. If Mr..
Halves carries it, to whom he will
throw it or trade it in convention
of course is not even remotely
limited; but that he will not get
the nomination at this time. and
should not have it, We sincerely
believe and hope.
How does the party owe Mr..
Halves anythingi Mr.. Folk does
not claim that it owes him any
thing. Mr.. Halves may have done
his duty as police commissioner as
we'll as Mr.. Folk has done his as a
prosecutor of evil doors; but that
does not place the party under OBJ
lipations to either. They have
simply paid what they owe tn PR

posed in them and have been paid

OF the leading members of the Nene-

every courtesy and gave Il dinner in
his honor. That night. shortly after
he retired AT 2 late hour, he was awak-

room and saw. as he thought. one Of
his hosts disappear through the bod
room window leading to the vcranda.
Concluding that this was n polite GUS
tom of the country. the visitor returned
to sleep. but in the morning he found
that he had been robbed. The Eng.
lishman went straight To the seat of

the minister's. who expressed his dis-
may and was theroupou informed that
