OBITUARY.

Death has again visited our midst
and chosen for his own one Of tho
sweetest and loviiest flowers, Grace
Highley, who died at her home in
Irondaie Sept. 10, 1903. Her remains
were inferred in the Big River ceme-
terry. The services were conducted by
Rev Rover, and were simple, but i'm
impressive. The funeral was attend
ed by large concourse Of relatives
and friends of the deceased. and the
floral Offering were many and beauti-
ful.
She was prepared for the change and
death had no terrOrS for her. Her
daily walk among us attested the sim
cerity OF the faith she professed. She
was truthful. kindhearted and gentle,
free from malice and ill-will, generous
aud lust. 1t is said, death loves A
shining mark" and where, oh where,
In all our domaia was one more con-
spiciously radiant. The life Of Grace
Highley, from the time her warm,
girlish heart formed its first friend
ships 10 the day when in the very
springtime Of life. in her 10Th year,
she was called from our midst, spaek
with itsown silent, touching eloquence
OF those noble and lovable qualities
which endeared her to host of
friends and made her the idol Of her
home. and in her good nameand men,
ory they have all that death can leave
to alleviate It's pain, save the supreme
consolation which is theirs, that she
looked ,devotedly and trustingly to
the source of life and light. 1t is not
our privilege to understand the mys-
teries OF life and death. The only
lipht and hope we get is from the rev.
elations given in the Book Of books.
But for one whose life was Of honest
purpose and noble deeds we should not
grieve, but rather believe that her
Iabors on earth were finished and that
the Master called her to her eternal
reward God Bless her memory. May
we. standing as it were around her
fresh-made grave. resolve to initiate
her virtues and renew our faith In the
hone of a blessed Immortality.

The Globe Democrat has lately
been reviewing the official election
returns of 1902 in this state, par
ticularly those relating to the
school fund amendment which was
voted down by 1886 majority in the
state outside of the three largest
cities, which are governed partly by
Governor Dockery's state boards.
In these three cities the amendment
was given vote large enough to
offset the majority against it in the
state, but also to carry it by q ma
jority of 25,2l7. 1t is evident
from the figures presented that
the people of Missouri were against
saddIing themselves with the school
fund debt in perpetnity, but it is
also just as evident that the ring
in control of the state wanted tue
amendment carried and, the three
state board cities supplied the nee
essary figures to push it through.
The Globe Democrats figures
prove beyond all reradvcnture,
that the ring party in Missouri is
practically independent Of the bal
lot box for its majorities while il
can control tho state boards in the
three larger cities.

Harry Hawes, president of the
Jefferson Club and also of the
hoard of police commissioners in
St. Louis has stepped to The front
and announced that the "politi-
clans" of his party do not want
Mr.. Folk nominated for governor,
and he promised that the latter
would not have the vote of a single
delegate from that city. Mr..
Halves evidently does not consider
the wishes Of the people in the
matter at all. Why don't the St.
Louis Democratic politicians want
Mr.. Folk to head their state ticket
next year9 MIR. Halves could an
swer that question, but he won't.
If he were to answer it, and truly :,
he would say that it was because
Nr. Folk would have the antagon-
ism of the Butler clement in St.
Louis, and no matter whom the
rank and file of the party may
want the politicians dare not 60
against Butler. Butler controls
such men as ''Snakc" Kinney, a
tough dive keeper, but who counts
his ward almost solid as Butler
may indicate. The latter has Just
given the politicians of the city
another exhibition of his power,
even though he has a three years
penitentiary sentence hanging over
him, and has reorganixed the house
of delegates and placed another
tough saloon keeper in the chair to
preside over that body. Whenever
the chairman of the Democratic
state committee wants to feel alb.
solute confidence in the outcome of
a political campaign in Missouri he
sends for Ed Butler and gets his
assurance of support. 1t is Butler
who touches the button and his
"Snake" Kinneys do the rost.
Thus it will be seen, why the poll
ticians of St. Louis, the men who
fatten at the public crib, do not
want Folk nominated. Folk the
peerless' whose duty to his oath of
Office he holds above every other
consideration; hope of the honest
rank and file of the Missouri Dem
ocracy, must not be nominated on
that ticket because convicted
criminal and his following of dive
keepers demand him as a sacrifice
upon the altar Of corrupt politics.
Oh the shame OF it!
