Leaqued with the Criminal Class.

1t is high time for the people Of
Missouri to destroy the combine Of
the ring running shis state with the
criminal element. Let it be admit
ted at the stMt that no established
party in this state, taking the mass
Of its members, would willingly
80 into partnership with yiolators
of the Law, but that is what it has
come to IN St. Louis, and the ring
has sci.emed to steal state elections
in this city alone. In support of
the assertion that the political ring
in control of Missouri has struck g
bargain of CO. cooperation with the
criminal class, great amount CT
evidence has accumulated in grand
iuries and has also, in part, been
submitted to Congress. This is a
matter demanding the most earnest
attention of all Missourians. They
are suffering robbery and are sub
ieeted to degrading influences Ey {.
lot of political corruptionists who,
having lost the support and respect
of decent citizens, call in the crlmi-
nails to help them out.
Grand juries have described how
elections in this city have been fai-
sifed by repeaters under police
protection. Grand juries have al
SO uncovered system Of coaching
newly-landed foreigners iii perjary
and balIot-box stuffing. BY means
of this partnership the criminal
class in St. Louis is absolutely con
fdent that, politically speaking
and in other respects, it is ON top
here and in the state, and can 90
to any length for the sake of the
fraud it shovels into the election
returns, under the direction Of ring
representatives. Crime is a bad
servant and a worse master. Step
bv step the ring gang has clasped
thapds with criminals and has ne
other reliance left. It will never
let go willingly. Itwiit go deep
er in crime in order to hold IT.
swag, This is the tr,:ts. Of ths
situation. What will tiunsst citi
zens of Missouri, the respectable
men of all parties, do about it.

Little "Off-Year Talk.

This being an ''of year" in local
politics there is naturally but little
said upon the subject of local poll
teal matters, and the only interest
taken in them at all, apparently,
IS by those who hope to hold onto
their Offices or by those who hope
to succeed TO them. However, an
occasional touching upon the local
political situation by the county
preas during the ''off year," may
still be pertinent to the best inter
csts of public service, and what we
intend to say here+does not partake
of Il partisan view of the matter,
but rather from viewpoint sup
posedly occupied, by that elemen,
of our people. who are prone tc
hope that even county politiesmay,
or should be-, at least, lifted to Il
higher plane than they have occu.
pied for number OF years past.
The personel of the local poll
cal tickets as they; are put forth
from time to time by Republican
and Democratic parties is often a
matter of Unfavorai,!e comn,en,

She got cut of her buggy near

something that was wrong with

thus engaged big white and yell
low dog jumped out from the road
side and attacked her, tearing her
waist badly. Miss List, instead Of
fainting, grabbed the dog by the
nape of the neck, dragged him to
where some stones lay, picked up
one of them and beat him on The
head with it until he became insen-

where he lay, she drove home to
repair her clothes.

When MIR. Skidmore took Il bite of
the first he mentally decided that
It would take the prize. When he
bit the second, he decided the prize
would have to be halved. When
he bit the third, he concluded the
prize would have to be divided in
to three parts. The upshot was
that Mr.. Skidmore was not able tt
make selection. Instead, how.
ever, of dividing the prize into six
parts, he ruled that each WIS sc
good as to deserve a prize, so he
gave six prizes instead Of one.

Ring Democrats do not look for
a decision by the supreme court in
the Batter bribery case until some
time in the fall Of 1904, in fact,
not until after the next general
election. Buffers case is among
the the first of the eighteen con-
yicted St. Louis boodlers to reach
hearing ON their appeal to the
supreme court, and if so much
time is going to be given the court

nat both parties will nominate

l
men who, though they may be hon
est in their official conduct il elect
ed to Office, are not such men as
would be selected for their intcIli-
gence to gil place of private
trust. Yet just such men are of
ten shown the preference by both
parties when they make up their
list of candidates for Offices of
public trust. Realizing their Iimi-
tations they depend upon others to
| direct them in their official duties
and are easily influenced to act in
a manner where the taxpayer be-
comes the victim of good intentions
misled.
What we have thus led up to is:
why do the intelligent people of
the community consent in the Sc
lection Of unqualified men to Gil
the public offices. The parties
really have no discretion in this
selection, the candidates are forced
upon them by an unfortunate CON
dltion, to which the people give
consent, which leaves them no al
Tentative. 1t is an undisputed
fact, and one not redounding cred
it upon community Of intelligent
people, that no man, nc matter how
perfectly he may be equipped to
fill public Office, can be elected in
this county to any position where
he might render The public ser
vice unless he abandons the very
principles which make him fit for
the trust. For this reason and no
other is it that capable men will
not offer themselves for office. Thus
mcn are nominated who are willing
70 accept the conditions as they
find them.
When the people of Washington
County can offer a condition in To-
cal politics that does not require
of men the abandonment of their
last shred of self-rcspect; when Il
man can seek nomination believ-
ing that it. is not incumbent upon
him TO resort to methods not CON
sistent with moral laws and often
counter to the legal stat
utes to gain the Office, we may cx-
pect to see the right Kind of men
present themselves and not before.
AHother unfavorable aspect in
which these conditions present
themselves is that it affects party
lines and descriptions and discussions
rcc",; : c-::,,. Combinations are resorted
to by candidates of both parties,
who are the product of existing
conditions, for their own adyan-
tage; party faith is betrayed, and
we sec the offices parceled out
among those who accept them at
the price of self-respect and poll
teal virtue.
The remedy suggests itself.
