INTELLIGENT CONCERN.

Mssourlans should not allow general enthusiasm
to take the place of particular interest in the matter
Of reforms Nor should interest for the political phase
of Doodle and Doodle investigations be allowed to d.
vert attention from the real work being done.
Intelligent citizenship will follow the details OF
the work Of the grand juries and courts 1t is upon
universal familiarity with the motives methods and
practices of boodlers that the cleansing and the guard
ing of the cleansed condition depend. Boodling can
thrive under the nose of unsophsticated public:
under the nose Of public initiated in its de
yious ways.
If Missouri would profit lastngly by the experience
of 19021903. it must take that experience to heart
The people must learn the lesson day by day They
must study the tricks Of sandbaggers the jres
pose them; and the tricks of the lobby the legislative
agent, the briber. Learn of the influences which
are brought to bear upon legislation and legislators;
influences corporate, financial and political" and
personal pulls. Consider the small Jobs" the effect
of railroad passes and the relation patronage

The details are in print day after day Good cit
izenship will not weary Of the revolving story.

ALL eyes are beginning to cepter
upon the Legislature. It's only thir-
teen dlys until that important body
viii meet. Some Important measures
will come up, among which are the
recommendations of the tax commits
sion. The commission was composed
of some OF the brainiest men of the
state and was non-partisan. So far as
we have scanned the report and rec
concentrations, we fail to see why so
much criticism should come from a
Democratic source. McKinuey's paper
at Fairmont is especially bitter in its
opposition. Its logic that the burden
of taxation will still be on the real es-
tate owners, appears erroneous and
shows evidences of but little study or
the situation and the effects the pas
sage of laws such as are recommended
by the commission. Special interest
is also being taken in the contest for
the speakership of the house and the
pre- i!ency of the senate. Harrison

and descriptions, 1t is stated, have
