IMMEDIATE RESULTS.

Direct and immediate results of Missouri's cam
paign against boodling must show in the of
the former with the present and future conduct of
legislative affairs, both municipal and State. The
direct and immediate results, hoped for and believed
in, lie in sudden cessation of graft
While the people are reasonably certain that the
campaign of the Grand Juries and prosecuting officers
has had sharp, prompt effect, in point of fact the
consequences cannot be determined precisely until
subsequent history reveals the record of recent and
present transactions.
Boodng has been done under in the past,
and, if it is done again, will be difficult to
detect. Crime has no contemporaneous chronicles.
Present tricks be learned at once; but that
crimes of graft, should they by any possibility con-
tinue in any quarter. will later be known and ex-
posed is fairly PROBABLE.
1t is beyond human ingenuity to commit the crime
of bribery without leaving trace. There never
less than two parties to the transaction and usually
there are several Besides the living witnesses there
are indestructbe physical facts which store up the
tale and hold it for the prosecutor AS surely there
are cause and effect, so surely will transaction
however guarded contain the possibility of discovery
No amount of precaution can eliminate clews; no
amount of mystery can Withstand the persistence of
fact and logic. single threadend in the hands of

Missouri is alert and will remain alert for indica
lions of official crime. The temper of the people will
brook no evil or appearance of evil of this sort Let

not changed whit for the better, Notwithstanding
the publics manifestations restrained through

cherishes the sane and modern view that the faint
or crmlnalty should be kept away from juvenile
lawbreakers, that they should be taught to be good
before they have had time to fully develop into con-
frmed evdoers, and especially that they should not
be made to regard themselves as already outlawed
by society.
This is the view also entertained by Chief of De-
tectives Desmond. who has been engaged in the sup
preston of crime for nearly thirty years. and whose
police experience amply fits him for authoritative
terance upon such subject. Chief Desmond's views
were forcibly presented at the recent meeting of
the Chiefs of Police of American cities as to cons
tute one of the most notable features of that
gathering That they in line with the conclusions
reached by the more advanced crimnologists of the
day serves to confirm the sound reasoning of the
latter.
1t is reassuring, therefore, to hear Judge Fosters
opinion of the management the Missouri Training
School for Boys and to learn that the institution is
entirely lacking in the atmosphere of a place for the
detention of criminals. The most important task in
the suppression of crime is that preventing the
development of juvenile offenders into confirmed
inas. 1t seems to be Judge Fosters conviction that
boys sent to the Missouri Training School leave that
institution as selfrespectng lads, each having been
taught trade by which he may earn honest liv
ing and having reason to believe that he is re-
garded criminal. If this be the case. Missouri
has done splendid work in vital field of crime-sup
preston and the Boonville Training School for Boys
does indeed Judge Foster says reflect great credit
upon the State.

LIGHT AHEAD,

The two largest cities Of the United States are
tasting reform. At least there appears to be an i'm
provement in the city governments which better sat
isles the people New York is preparing for the next
municipal fight by uniting the various civic organiza-
tons. Philadelphia is training itself to become en-
thusiastic over the courageous acts of Mayor Weaver
who is following the policy of Mayor Wells of ST.
Louis
Much some of the Western cities have been
abused for lack of local pride derided for efforts
at reforms which may have seemed mere noise now
and then to outsiders they are not less progressive in
any respect than their Eastern sisters The East is
surprised at the bold stand taken by Mayor Weaver
against improper practices. Yet Mayor Wells has
pursued the course steadily for two years and
has to his credit deeds notable and greater in
Der than those attributed to the Philadelphia chief
executive.
If New York and Philadelphia have, or are to have,
administrations conscientious and efficient as that
of St Louis, they may be well pleased. st. Louis
got good government by making good government a
direct issue, by wagng war against the corrupt gang
which had influence in both parties Circuit Attorney
Folk selected the instrument for prosecution
and Mayor Wells the instrument for reconstruction
Both have done their work WE'LL have virtually all
of their assistants
Mr.. Lincoln Steffens, the magazine writer says
that the people of Philadelphia to have desire
to vote at elections and that if they should have
this desire they could not carry it into effect
fully, the gang would register two votes against
every cast by the respectable citizens. STILL if
Mayor Weaver persists in his aggressive policy his
election will stand victory for the people and a
defeat for the gang, Notwithstanding the fact that
his election was the result of compromise.
An honest administration of public business by
Mayor Weaver will stir Philadelphia in favor of the
perpetuation of reform, the reform accomplished
by Messrs. Folk and Wells have stirred ST. Louis
and as Improvements brought about under Mayor
Low have stirred New York. Party questions should
play no part in municipal elections. Reform will be
permanent only if the respectable element of citizen
ship reinains united and fights in the next election
