Which nobody will deny. The Globes admission
will be taken conclusive Certainly the Globe ought
to know whereof speaks, being fully in touch with
the of partys Weakness, fractional feuds and
the constant and Kaleidoscope changes in its pretense
of organization; moreover being fully acquainted with
the acute disgust which the body of Republican voters
possesses for the tactics of the turbulent politicians
The Globe admits truism, but it is nevertheless in
teresng, coming from partisan organ of such mar
rowness and bitterness
Ordinarily can be said to speak for the Re-
publican party Of Missouri, viewing aggregate
of ncongruous and sedous cabas cliques and untOs;

time proffer the gubernatorial nomination to John

of few hours, but second group of competitors for
the Federal pie would speedily rise up disillusionize

institution which Inherited the brilliant record of the

dominating. With Ziegenheinism in the ascendency,
the better element of the Republicans in active politics
avoid the intruder; and, although few of the
disnctyely Zegenhein rngsters have forsaken other
organizations TO join it commands little strength out
side of compact macllne-a machine capable of ugly
fighting, perhaps but of real accomplishment either
for party advancement or for patronage.
The st. Louis Republican Club very properly
spurned any utilization with the new" Hamtonians
and gained popular strength thereby; and the fact
that the desertion of the Zegenhen rngsters leaves

reputable active workers in both city and State.
Between these and the Roosevelt clubs on the ono

PARK CONCERTS

Band concerts in the small parks proved so pop
ular last summer that the new Park Commissioner
has this year followed the example by Mr.. Rdgely
and has arranged for music in Carr Square South st.
Louis Square. st. Louis Place and Washington
Square Not less than four concerts will be given il
each of these places.
Money for band concerts in the parks is money
well spent. Thousands of children and adults would
have no opportunity for innocent enjoyment of
merS evening were 1t not for these entertainments.
In all. sixtysix band concerts will be given this
summer in the large and small parks. Tile only re-
greet that the more prosperous citizen should have is
that there will not be every evening in
every park and two concerts every Sunday, that
those people who have not the to frequent the
summer gardens may have their due of pleasure
throughout the out-of-dours season.
The small parks are the resorts of whole families.
Their frequenters come from the homes of the sur
rounding district They draw people who would not
go to the large parks in the evening. They

The small park is the ideal park. and there should
be more. They are necessary in the congested
section. The city should endeavor to establish sew

money in this direction would in no sense be waste

Yet the lark's shrill fife may come

And the bittern sound his drum.
