The city of St. Louis is facing
another public scandal, involving
the socia! evil and the police force,
with the Jefferson Club in the
background. Vice fourishes in all
large cities in greater or less de-
gree, and its growth is coincident
with police neglect. In St. Louis
this neglect is consequence upon
making the guardians of public
peace and morality part of a poll
tical machine. The police there
give less attention to the duties for
which they are paid by the public
that they do towards maintaining
their standing in the Democratic
club which is tho power that moves
the political machine. The police
officer feels more secure in his job
when he responds readily to the
assessment calls of the jefferson
Club than he would by giving close
attention to law and order. St.
Louis will be confronted with
these scandals until her police force
is separated from politics.

perintendent of the graphic arts
section of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, at an entertainment
given recently by tho St. Louis
Advertising Mems League, spoke
in part upon the subject as follows:
"Imagine, if you please, what
would happen if tomorrow the
business world wonld determine
that for one year there sould be no
advertising-that the people VIII o
have been led here and there from
store to store, from food to food,
from beaten tracks to untried
walks, should suddenly be con-
fronted with the necessity of talk
ing the initiative in all things,
without newspaper advertising
guidepost or billboard or other
direction. Take away the window
display, paint no price cards, issue
no line of printing or picture,
throw away the sign board and
you have only begun. Pursue to
the end the ramifcation of adver-
tising and all that depends upon it
and then try to contemplate the
wreck and ruin and disaster tina,
would follow its sudden earth wide
occasion.

plunglng In Debt.

The Democratic bond burning
will take place as per schedule,
and a little ooterie of politicians
will make merry in a celebration
of their own contrivance, but the
people Of Missouri as a whole un-
derstand the hollow mockery of the
thing. We know it is lie; Mis-
souri, is not out of debt, nor will
she be ont of debt when the last
bond is paid. There will be 81,
900, 900 in certificates of indebted
ness to be accounted for, and it
would be more seemly to postpone
tho celebration until such time az
it can be held with decency and
truth. We question if the origin.

wholly satisfied with the results of
the preliminary blare of trumpets.
Immediately tue average member
of the Legislature became convinc-
ed that the State could be advertis
ed as practically ont OF debt he set
to work to take advantage Of such
a golden opportunity by his:ing
the salaries Of clerk wnodo nothing
at the States expense and firing in
appropriation bills. Gov. Dock
cry, becoming alarmed at the ruin
Gus rate at which the Legislature
was going, sent it message of
warning. He said the appropria-
tions up to that time exceeded tie
States revenue by 100000. The
answer of the Legislature was
prompt and to the point. In five
minutes after reading the Cover
nor's message it passed another APP
preparation bill, calling for the ex-
penditure of $3.50 more. This
made 1915, 900, not counting the
increased appropriations for
number of State institutions. 1t
is putting it mildly to say that the
appropriations will exceed the
revenue by more than the sum OF
of S40O, 900, which is the amount
of bonds to be paid off in a few
days, Gbout which we are to have
a celebration. This ;s quick work
We are asked to rejoice because
Missouri is to pay off an indebted
ness of S40O, 900 and in the mex
breath we are told that our expen
ditures will exceed our receipts by
by more than $4,000 How tn.

The disposition shown by our
new county court III retrench pub
lie expense and bring the expendi-
lures of the county within the rev
enue receipts is ;laudablo and has
our hearty endorsement. We
would recommend however that
their zeal in this direction should
also encompass the sessions of the
court itself. Our observation OF
what usually transpires before the
court leads, us to the conviction
that there is much unnecessary ex-
tension of the courts sittings,
that the business could bo trans.
acted in about half the time that is
devoted to it. Every day the
court would save would be about
$25 in the pockets of the taxpay.
