The Big Four.

tentlon to politics that the Demo-
cratic party in Missouri has for
some time been dominated by a
ring. That ring consists of the
Big Four-Stone, Cook, Seibert
and Dockery. They sit behind a
vast army Of appointees and sub
sidized press, press as subservi-
ent and obedient as a galley slave,
always ready on moments warn
ing on the slightest pretext to be-
smirch any citizen or officer who
dares to act honest, independent
and free, always ready with a bas-
ket Of ready-furnished boqu cts to
shower them in every part Of the
State the instant these bosses
touch the button.
In our judgment it is neither
Democratic nor wise to permit this
state of affairs to continue. Can
the Democratic party of this State
in the face of the late revelations
allow these men to dominate its
affairs longerl
The MESSAGE does not wish to
be harsh, and we make no charge
against any of the four above named
men, we only take up their self-con-
fessed sins, which are sufficient in
our judgment to relegate each of
them to lives of private citizen
ship.
First, before these men or their
policies receive very hearty sup
port from the rank and file of
Democratic voters, let Mr.. Stone
explain more SATISFACTORILY why
he telegraphed a certain State SEN
ator for that private conference at
a West End hotel in st. Lonis eX-
plain how much if any of that
5000 party Doodle he received.
Most all Democrats think party
boodling more disgraceful than in
dividual boodling. The voters are
anxious to learn further under
what code of ethics a man who by
common consent is placed at the
head of a great party and leads in
formulating its principles and dec
larations, who beautifully declares
against trusts and mOnOpolies, can
sell his political influence to the
enemy and then cure it all by say
ing, Il did that as an attorney"
Second, Mr.. Cook, too, must
explain more fully the confession
he made at Independence in taking
that So, 100 from Bill Phelps,
thereby placing the Democracy of
the State in partnership with the
king of lobbyists; further, why he
wished to deceive the public by
giving himself credit for the same.
Further, explain that So, 900 Priest
deal, the man who was lobbying
that street railroad consolidation
bill thru the Legislature. This,
we think, was a good round sun
for a man to give for party pur-
poses when the same man was
publicly declaring that the party
ought to be beaten. Further, the
rank and file of the party do no
fully understand the Lyons-Speed
Cook episode. Why is bribery any
more honorable because high Of
fetal was looking after it, to see
it we'll done?
Mr.. Seibert, the smoOthest duck
in the puddle, whose bill is set in
many directions, ought to do {
lot" of explaining, too, but from
the experience the officers Of
: the law had in trying to get hin
up to Independence to testify in q
case where his and Cooks reputa
tons were at stake, we NATURAL!
Judge that he dislikes that job
but that dignifed sum of $1,000,
paid by the unknown Brown fol
hush money, explains to everyone
who has an ounce of gray matter
in his Uranium that there wa
something in those charges NOR,
than smoke.

Some anti-Folk papers, says the

once for all, that if Mr.. Folk de-
sires to be ex-governor he can secure
the position without the expendi-
ture of single cent of money and
without the aid of delegate from
st. Louis. If Mr.. Folk wants to
be governor all he needs to say is
the word. The country democrats
will do the rest. All this talk
about a scheme of interested par
ties to make Folk governor is the
.veriest nonsense. The interested
parties in this case are the rank
and file of the democratic party in
the state and they are ma king no
secret whatever of their intentions.

Mexico Missouri message., 1903-07-23

A working girl, as some folks
see it, never has anything to lose
where a whining man is involved
with her in scandal. She may
be guilty of no wrong herself ex-
cept that she is a working girl,
proud of the fact and anxious to
make a living. The man may
hold responsible business posi-
ton and he doesn't want to fall.
He is not concerned as to how
much the girl must suffer, but in
his supreme contempt for the
working classes" he would crush
a refined woman to save his own
selfish self. But the world is
growing better; none of this will
disturb any woman who has a de-
cent independence and a wOmanly
sense of modesty and delicacy.

The great trouble with the machine
organs which claim to be consistent
republican sheets is just this: they
mistake factionalism for republican,
ism. No paper can advocate machine
policies without being fractional in
nature; but republican policies can be
advocated without factionalism. Now
having a clear idea of the case, take
your choice, factlonalism or republi
canlsm. One means defeat the other
success. Which shall 1t be ? It's up
to you.
