The so called Missouri Democrat
Press Association which met at
Kansas City last week does not
represent the better element OF the
Democrat editors OF the State.
Some OF the editors, not all, who
are taking an active part In the
association are in II for political
pull and prefermcnt, and they are
just the kind of people that would
not have anything to do with any
organization, political or otherwise
unless they could hold Office in 1t
or make money out OF 1t. II
seemed to be the idea OF the asso-
citation mt its recent meeting that
its members support any man who
is nominated by the party, though
he be n boodlcr or a horsethief.

REGGIE IS MARRIED

For some days we have been regal
ed with stories about the preparat-
ions for the marriage of young Resi-
maid c. Vanderbilt and the girl who
has chosen him for her life cor'ran-
ion. Yesterday we were told all oD-
out the wedding with its white gown
ed bridesmaids in picture hats, its
best man and ushers in white puff
neck ties. and so on. We feel sure
that there were no negro walters at
the wedding breakfast, because their
black skins would have spoiled the
color scheme, unless, of course, theJ
were whitewashed for the occasion.
What has young Vanderbilt done
to entitle him to all this prominence?
Softly, softly, he is one of our arts
tocracy. He has money, loads of
it. Just remember. he lost something
like $4,000 at one sitting in New
York gambling house, if reports are
to be believed More, he was so bus
running his racing automobile that
he neglected to pay any attention to
his studies. and so failed to take his
degree at Yale. We do not recall JUS
now any more of Mr.. Vanderbildts
notable achievements. but doubtless
there are others.
Dost think now that he isn't entitled
to space on the front page of every
newspaper in the land? Let us tuck
away in a corner somewhere the re-
port of the labors of the scientist in
the interest of humanity; let us omit
the story of the student who is work
ing far into the night in order to
equip himself to help his fellow man.
But by all means let us give Reggie,
the dear boy, something top of CO!
umn, next to reading matter and be
tween two full columns Of readins
matter
We are all yearning to know about
the presents he and his bride received
and that yearning is gratified, In
measure, by the statement that they
constituted probably as costly an ar
ray as was ever bestowed upon two
young people at the advent OF theiI
married life Now let us hope thai
dear Reggie will be happy ever after
wards. He has worked hard through
all of his young life and deserves tbs
joy that can come to any man.
After all. the newspapers cannot b;
blamed so much for giving prominen
&c to the doings Of this young sprig O
we'll known American family. We
will venture the assertion right nov
that nine people out of ten who read
both men and women, read ever
word printed about the Vanderbilt
Nelson wedding. Nine out of tel
would have read more if there hat
been any more to read. The business
of the newspaper is to give to the pee
pie what the people want to read ali
out That, we believe. is enough

Brandler Matthews received tickets
for the first night, of course, says the
New York Times. Did ever an author
bring out a play in New York without
sending tickets to Prof. Matthews?
Contrary to his custom, Mr.. Matthews
made use of his passes on this occasion.
He was down town; he wanted to see,
the play; the house was sold; so why
not? The next day his opinion was
eagerly called for by one of the class
es at Columbia. "Well, gentlemen"
said the literary freethnker 1.-THE play
was in four acts, and I was there as
the guest of the author. After the first
act the audience sat silent and I APP
plauded After the second act I sat
quiet while the audience hissed." The
professor took a long-drawn and re-
miniscent pull at his cigaret, then held
it at arms length and fiicked off the
ashes, "And the third act?" "Well,
gentlemen" and there was a CLEAN OF
satisfaction In the professors eye, "af-
ter the third act went out and bought
standing room and came back and hiss .
ed, too"
