GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT.

Mr.. Roosevelt. the already chosen na-
tOnal candidate Of his party for next year. will re
ceive the ungrudged cOmmendaton of Democrats
who have observed his active interest in securing
the return Of fugitive bOodlerS.
1t is a drawback TO good government that men
should be able TO ply the trade OF corruption with
a guarantee that If detected they can escape the
laws penalties by travelling short distance to the
border longer but pleasant distance across the
ocean. \ haven of refuge is an encouragement TO
crime.
Persons indicted by the State Of Missouri are
luIuriously living in Mexico, Canada and Europe.
The State and the United States have been i'm
potent. Kratz. Kelley and Wainwright have dehed
both governments.
Circuit Attorney Folk has brought the situation
TO the attention of the President and Mr. Roosevelt
has not only promised that the United States Gov
ernment will appeal 10 the officials Of the countries
where the indicted men are residing. but has put
the law and foreign departments of the Cabinet ac-
lively at work. 1t is said that the United States
Government will claim right under the Mexican
treaty TO the extraditiOn of Kratz.
The Presidents action is wholly commendabIe
and Missouri Democrats will give him credit FOR
being good citizen and not politician in his will
ngness TO vigorously cooperate with the executive
officials of the State Of Missouri. II that makes
him any stronger a Presidential candidate let
him have the benefit he has earned.

RECENT COMMENT.
How to Catch Grafters.

Chicago Tribune
Our Mr. o. SitdOwn Thompson has favored with
the following and comprehensive article on the
subject OF getting after the graftsTs;
1t is evident that those who beating about
CRATER are not familiar with the appearances and
characteristics OF the they seek As the school
boy says in his essay. There many kinds OF
grafte-s' There is. Of COURSE the common garden
CRATER. which is apt to be found anywhere But for
exciting sport worth while chase the rarer
species OF grafteI. The following varieties viii be
found to furnish much excitement when cornered:
'Phonografter-A CRATER who tells everybody the
same thing and keeps all the money.
'Telegrafter-A eiGEter who depends upon his
knowledge Of the wires, and rarely takes anything
collect.
"Paragrafter-A CRATER who confines himself to
two three lines
.Cinematografter-A CRATER who works with a
screen gives poor explanation Of the things
he shows YOU
"Autografter-A CRATER who thinks you ought to
come to the center soon you hear his
air.
'NionografJer-A CRATER who sticks TO graft
'slCografter-A CRATER who depends upon the Y
raise
"Siimeografter-A CRATER who copies the work OF
other grafters and claims HIS graft is just good
'RadOgrafter-A CRATER who applies high scientific
principles his work You understand he
does it. but he goes through yoI.
''Photografter-A CRATER who has lots OF face and
doesn't mind exposure"

LAUDABLE BoURBoNIsM.


Every Missouri Bourbon points with pride 10
his record of never having scratched Democratic
ticket. questioned Democratic platform or looked
beyond a Democratic label In casting a vote" No
better tribute could be rendered the Missouri Demo
crat than this statement intended as Indictment
10y the Globe. Democracy cheerfully admits the
allegations
One very large and sufficient negative reason for
voting the Democratic ticket this past thirty years
has been the absence Of nducement TO vote other
wise.
One very good reason for supporting the Missouri
Democratic platform during this time has been that
it declared the truth for Missouri, while the Re
publican declarations have been manifestly the
maundering insincerties Of sordid and incompetent
and nonrepresentative politicians.
One all-sufficing consideration for accepting the
Democratic Label" has been that it represented
quality. Good government for thirty years has
borne that label.
What alternative has been offered the voter dur
ing these thirty years? Has the Republican party
offered an inducement warranting change by the
voter? Did the last Republican administration,
thirty years ago. encourage faith in the Republican
party in Missouri? Has it held forth anything since
then which would justify confidence either in its in
tenuons its ability to properly administer the af
fairs Of this State? Does it extend now anything
upon which the veriest optimist and weH-wisher
could build belief or even hope?
To whom shall the voters of Missouri intr1Ist the
concerns of the State? Upon what grounds shall
the people sever connection with timeprOven Demo-
cratic administration to embrace the present Re
publican pie-counter regime? What are the quail
cations of that isorganized, demOralized and dis
inteErated band of politicians who hold forth en-
treating hands TO the Missouri voter?
Democracy is good enough per AS viewed
side by side with that for which the Republican
gans plead it is transcendently statesmanlike.

ADVICE To LAMBS

Now is about as good time as any for the lamb
TO keep away from Wall street. Something is said
10 be hanging over the street, and piece of that
something is sure 10 drop and hit the lamb il he
ventures in. Bad luck is a enough definition
for the ominOus impending something
One very important principle OF trading which
the lamb appears ignore is that in order for you
10 profit by stock transaction there must be found
bigger fool than you are.
For example, if you buy you do so with the ex-
pectatiOn of rise Your only hope Of profit lies in
finding another lamb with several degrees more
optimism than you have He takes your stock on
your hands for precisely the same reason which in
duced you procure it from another; the only diff
ference being Of degree. your optimism having
been based upon, say, a quotation of 20, and his
having been based upon %. The man from whom
you purchased may have been an optimist at 10
Thus it appears that there may be great many
degrees Of optimism or Of pessmism. Either spells
folly. nay. asninity. when the market turns the
wrong way. And it is pretty to turn the wrong
way for the lamb.
Just at present the great trading forces appear
10 lack the courage of their convictions either way
and the market neither rises falls Uncertainty
hovers between two rumors, one to the effect that
a black something hangs over the street and the
other that buoyant influences are at work beneath
The probable truth is that both sides are taking ad
vantage of the lul and that there will be mighty
tugging up and down within the near future-it is
a mere pull between spectators.
So that the lamb has nothing to go upon but the
merest guesswork Long experience has demon
srated that the very poorest guesser that
