Stop Fighting.

The following from the Kansas City
Truth is one Of the most moderate and
sensible editorials of the week on the
subject of the gubernatorial campaign.
Zone of the worst features of the pol
itical situation in Missouri today is the
reckless acerbity that pervadas state
press in its comments upon the states
political leaders and men high in office.
The Republican party in this state is ut
terly impotent and contemplate on &C.
count of its %internecine quarrels and
attacks upon every man in the party
who shows his head above the crowd.
The Democratic party has fortunately
escaped this fatal error until recently
but now 1t is beginning to creep into
the columns of the democratic press and
to permeate the ranks of the organlza-
tion. 1t ought to be stopped while it
is yet time.
A number Of good men have an
nounced themselves, or are being advo-
Gated by their admirers, for the Dem
ocratic nomination for governor most
prominent among whom are James
A. Reed, Sam B. Cook, Joseph W.
Folk and Judge CAN'T. Any one of
these men would make an admirable
Governor, and the only question should
be as to their availability quali6cilnat
as party leaders. And yet not one Of
them is escaping severe, even bitter,
criticism at the hands of the state press.
This is not only a grave Injustice to
good men, but a dangerous blow at
party supremacy.
''For instance, it is worse than folly to
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1903-08-08

attack Sam B. Cook as a vicious citizen
or a corrupt official. Those who know
him, aud be is known from one end Of
the state to the other, will never be-
lieve that he is anything but an abso-
lutely honest man and devoted DEM
ocrat. His unfortunate implication In
the Speed. Lyons Doodle disclosure may
destroy his availability as a guberna-
torial nominee, but no fair. mined man
who knows the facts in the case be-
lleves that it affects his qualifications
for the office. Mr. Cooks presence at
the meeting between Lyons and Speed
was prompted alone bv the loyalty
to his friend; mistaken loyalty it
may be, but still an honest mistake for
which he deserves os much praise as
censure.
"Joseph ". Folk is being criticised
IN the state Democratic press as a
"grand stander," and a "~violator of
his oath of Office in teeth OF the fact
that those who know him best, and
thousands of loyal Democrats who
have never met him, but Judge him by
the good work he has done, will never
believe that Mr.. Folk is not a perfect
ly sincere, high-mindad, in%corruptible
man, and an absolutely fearless public
official, who is doing his duty to the
best of his ability. They care moth
ing for his mistakes or personal imper-
fections; they look only to his honest
purpose and the results he accomplish.
es. Any attack on him does not ma
terially hurt Mr.. Folk, but it will in.
evhably react on the democratic party.
"These same reflections hold good
in respect TO Mayor Reed and Judge
Gannt. BOTH OF them are men OF nlgn-
est personal character aud both are
admirably qualified to fill the guber-
Material char. Attacks upon either
will o hurt them in the estimation of
int lligent fair-minded men. The only
question is as to their availability to lead
the party 10 the next campaign. The
Democratic party has a wealth of
good material; the only question is to
select the best. A little more charity,
courtesy and cool consideration all
along the line viii not be regretted a
year from now"

hope to command American armies,
sl to be retired 10 order to make the
best possible place for ROOsevelt's pet.
But 1t is not all TO be an easy march
for more glory to wOuld-be Major
General Wood. The United States
Senate is yet to consider the nomina-
ton of Wood. President Roosevelt was
informed by several Senators as soon
as be returned from bis vote-and-var-
mint hunt that II be sent to the Senate
the name OF Leonard Wood for Msior
General, a strong effort would be made
to defeat his confirmation. Nearly all
the members of the Senate Committee
on Military Affairs have expressed
themselves as opposed to Wood, at
least on the ground that he has not
done enough to merit this extraordl-
nary advancement. These Senators
have said that il the President persists,
there will be an Investigation OF all
Woods doings in Cuba. The members
OF the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs are, Hswley, Proctor, Warren,
Quarles, Scott, Forker and Alger, re-
publicans, and Bates, Cockrell and
Pettus, democrats, with one democratic
vacancy left by the retirement of Har-
ris, of Kansas. Should the republi-
cans weaken, as they may do, and as
many have recently done before the
tide of Rooseveltism in state politics,
such democrats as Bate, Cockrell and
Pettus, all three grand old soldiers and
lovers OF justice, are hardly the sort of
men to permit this fragrant favorltism
and undeserVed recognition to pass I'M
resisted and unrebuked. Woods pro-
motion to be major general in the reg
ular army, is IN all conscience bad
enough, but the certainty that, in the
ordinary course of human events, this
erstwhlle army doctor, this military
pill-peddler, is to be lieutenant gener-
al aud commander of the Uuited States
army is quite more than enough to
disgust the civilized world.

The Estate House Ring"

Of all the t%hreadbare phrases of Re-
public organs and stump speakers in
Missouri, that of the estate House
Ring" is easily entitled to recognition
as the handiest, the most elastic and
ubiquitous in the list. 1t has done SER
vice year in and year out. 1t matters
not what changes come the public are
schooled daily about the wickedness of
the estate House Ring IN Missouri.
If Republican office holders years ago
looted the treasury and disslpated the
States securities, we must hear an
endless TRADE about the estate House
Ring of to-day, respectable though it
be and wholly innocent of the rascalit-
les of other rings IN other days. If it
comes to a matter Of Legislative corrup-
ton IN which three-fourths of the con-
victed are Republicans it's the same
old story. We must be rid OF that ter
rlble estate House Ring" If the
gentlemen that compose the circle Of
State offices, strictly speaking, happen
to be men of irreproachable integrity
and faithful to their oaths OF office, as
they are and have been for years, there
IS still the estate House Ring" that
good old horse, that Republican news

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too can do much
better at home by proper attention to

German Syrup. Free expectoration in
the morning is made certain by Ger.
man Syrup, so is good nights rest
and the absence of that weakening
cough and facilitating night sweat.
Restless nights and the exhaustion
due to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking Ger.
man Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to go to warmer
cline. you will find that Of the thous-
ands Of consumptives there, the few
who are benefited and regain strength
