Missouri sends up Ex-Governor w. j.
Stone, to succeed Mr.. Vest who is volun-
tarily retiring. This is loss to the country
and to the democratic party for none will
deny that intellectually the balance is on the
wrong side. But Mr., Stone has marked in
dustry and is resourceful He may prove
to be valuable member 1t would have
been hard to match the great man whom he
succeeds.
The other elections are merely returns Of
present incumbcnts while in several States

few votes of success and the Legislature is
split into bitter factions Here again the

nothing for HIS favorte, Mr. Wolcott is I'm

in Delaware the notorious Addcks is
scotched for the time being Though the
president has shown disposition to aid
him he has not had the courage to do SO
openly. Considering the effect Of his inter

u PAGES TODAY.
GOVERNOR LANHAM's MESSAGE,

Governor Lanhams first message to the
senate IS published in The Post today with
q convenient synopsis which makes a sum
mary here unnecessary Besides it is of
such reasonable length that it should be read
IN full by every citizen,
In general terms it may be said that The
announced policies como fully mp TO public
expectation. The governor exhibits Just that
familiarity with State affairs which The Post
foretold he takes hold of details with the
case Of veteran and he projects his own
ideas with becoming yigor
II is to be especially noted that he does
rot intend to walk beaten path simply be-
cause it is a beaten path, lie heartily ap.
plouds the work of Governor sayers and
specifically endorses his recommendations as
10 revenues aud expenditures, but he has
his own ideas, differing materially from those
Of tho retiring governor, about some other
things. He raises warning against the
abandonment of the iron industry at the
RusB pententary without further investi.
cation, He is not yet satisfied that the fault
is inherent. This challenges proposition
which was growing into an almost universal
allow the furnace TO be dismantled until the
proof is conclusive OF failure on the de-
merits Of the industry itself The friends OF
the enterprise will no doubt be encouraged
by this attitude and the prospect is that it
will constitute a conspicuous feature OF
legislative proceedings
lie makes specific and earnest suggestions
in regard to antitrust legislation which can
not be well ignored He recognizes the tl.
dicial decisions which nullify former statutes
and calls for their re-enactment in form to
comply with such adjudcation
The promise of sending in other messages
from time to time rather than attempting
to present complete program OF admin
stration at once. indicates a commendabe
purpose to deal with important subjects with
particularly and deliberaton and to take
things as they come, after the manner OF
conservative craftsmanship.
The Post would lay special emphasis upon
his remarks to members of The legislature
urging their prompt attendance upon the
sessions and committee meetings. Faithful
conduct in this behalf will insure dispatch
and intelligent results
