Mjssouri's Rotten Politics.

For many years Missouri has been
platforms have persistently and bitter
ly roasted" all corporations in gen.
eral and some in particular. 1t is evil
dent, however that the delegates
winked the other eye and that the only
roasting" was that in yhe platforms.
1t was a part of the game of black
mail and bribery. The mcrcloss dis
closures by Circuit Attorney Folk have
brought to light facts to show that
the Legislature for passing certain bills
mentioned, and that at least 500, 800 was
paid. How much more was paid may
yet be discovered. In addition it has
been developed that insurance COM
panies have paid 100000 in Is years to
defeat legislation that they did not
want. The probabilities are that most
of the legislation in which any one had
a personal interest was influenced one
way or the other by the use of money.
1t was the custom, and CORPORATIONS
oheyed the demands.
The exposure Of the reign of corrup-
tioH which Democratic boodlers have
enjoyed in Missouri. should give the
Republican party a splendid chance for
victory in that state. The Republican
vote there has rapidly grown in recent
years in spite of the most glazing ballot
box frauds by Democratic officials, and
the wholesale gerrymandering of legis-
lative and congressional districts. The
Democratic plurality in the last prcsi-
Dental election was only $1,000 in Il
total vote of over $4,000. This means
that more Republican votes were cast
in the once solid state of Bourbonism
than there We're in Maine. New Hamp-
shire, Vermont Connecticut and Rhode
Island combined. There. We're $4,000
more Republican votes in Missouri in
1900 than in Massachusetts. With a
strictly fair and honest election there
is no doubt the Republicans could
carry Missouri and elect 10 or dozen
congressman in place of one or two as
at present allowed. 1t remains to be
seen if the disclosures of Democratic
rOttenness will not cause a revolt of
the recent element of the Missouri
Democracy and put the state in the
Republican column where it belongs.

1t viii be readily seen from the above
table that Hequiam's claim to the pen
nant is not only. selfish but foolish. This
same disposition on the part Of Hoquiam
curing the whole season has been one Of
the hardest matters We have 5ad to con.
tend with and it has required great
deal OF patience on the part OF the other
teams, who wished to finish the season,
to put up with it. 1t at one time nearly
broke up the league. The treatment OF
President John =. Fink by the lIoYuiam
rooters at the game last Saturday, when
he was geered at and insulted, is a fair
sample Of the disposition shown by Ho.
GUAM all season. This Treatment was
accorded him for the simple reason that
he DECIDED a protested game in favor Of
Olympia, ordering it played over after
consultation with some Of the best posted
baseball authorities in the Northwest.
Hoquiam refused to play the game on
the day set although Olympia took her
team down there and was on the ground
ready and anxious 10 give them chance
to win ii fairly; thereby causing Olympia
unnecessary additional expense. Now
Hoquiam claims that game. This state
Of affairs is understood by all OF the cities
directly interested and this letter is
written for the purpose Of contradicting
the false reports sent out by Hoquiam
and for the purpose Of giving outside
people a true history Of the matter.
Inasmuch as Aberdeen and Hoquam
are tie for the pennant, three games
will have TO be played to decide who will
receive it. And not until Hoquiam has
won at least two Of the three games has
she any right to claim the blue flag.
This is provided Tor in our constitution.
The directors OF the league will hold q
meeting within the next few days and at
that time order Ho1uan and Aberdeen
to plav the three games, and, unless she
complies with the order and wins two Of
them, Aberdeen will be awarded the
penDant. CHAs. W. u ANT.

ANOTHER LAW KNOCKED OUT.
Section Of Law Making Il Felony to Live
With Fallen Women.


Judge Richardson, of Spokane. has
granted liberty to Louis Deathridge on
habeas corpus, holding that the section
OF the new state law making it felony
for man to live with an immoral
woman is unconstitutional. In brief,
the section, which is the second in the
act, is held to be void because it is not
covered by the title to the act. ',4r
The title and the first section makes it
felony for persons to live off the earn
ings OF fallen women or to solicit persons
to 60 to houses of i'll fame. Speaking
about the decision. Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Barnhart said:
1.-THE decision will make it almost i'm.
possible to secure convictions under the
new law, and it is to be regretted that
the title was not prepared sufficiently to
| cover the intent OF the lawmakers. 1t is
fairly easy matter to secure evidence
OF a man living with an immoral woman
if euch condition exists, but it is almost
impossible to proye that man lives off
the earnings Of such woman"
Deathridge had been arrested by the
police for living with his wife, who is
said to run house Of i'll fame at Wilbur.
The test of the act came up on applica.
ton for the release OF the defendant
under habeas corpus. Deathridge was
arrested agaiu under former conviction
on vagrancy charge.

AN ASSISTANT TAX DODGER.

The Daily Bulletin emits the following
under the caption, assistant Demo-
craft"
"The HERALD gives prominent space
and startling headlines to an article

fore supposed that the Vidette was re-
publican paper. 1t is peculiar brand
of republcanism that g'atuitously and
wilfully misrepresents republican off.
Gals, and tenders supply Of campaign
ammunition to the democrats.
II this is the best the Rulletin can do
in the way of defending the action OF
the board OF equalization, it should sub
let the job. That paper few to the de.
Tense OF the board when the HERALD
first called attention to the additional
burden placed upon the body OF tax
payers through the reduction OF assess
ments made by Assessor Archer on a
few mill companies, and accused us Of
being too soon; the criticism of the &C.
ton should await the publication Of the
record. Chairman Davis also consumed
space in the Defender, with the same
wall, yet when the record appears it does
not contain syllable that can be con.
torted into a reason for the act COM
planned OF.
If the Bulletin possesses any valid
reasons for that action il will be but do
ing itself Justice in making it public.
Let the people know where this board
has been 'gratuitously and wifully"
misrepresen;ed. Otherwise the De-
fender may be charged with peculiar
brand Of republicanism," that permits a
supply Of campaign ammunition to the
democrats which it has power TO dispel.
The Vidette article mentioned several
other items in which the chairman Of
the board is connected which will re-
quire something more than the calling
of hard names to make right with the
public. The county stands to lose nearly
$4,000 OF delinquent taxes through the
letting OF the publication Of the list to
the highest bidder and it will require a
"peculiar brand OF republicanism" to
have the job O. KID by the people who
foot the hill,

rush to the aid OF the Vidette, with
which it has nothing political in com.
mon, but will venture the assertion that

occasion it less trouble than Will the
