A Civic Awakening.

In the current Outlook Mr.. Horace
McFarl i'd, President American Civic
Improv ment League. sums up the
facts OF the great civic awakening with
convincing force.
From all over the country come re-
ports Of cleansing, beautifying move
ments and from a thousand cities,
towns ard villages comes requests 10
the Civic Improvement League for ad-
vice and instruction concerning munich
pal needs.
A good woman" "seYen-eighths of
this work" says Mr.. Mcfarland, lis
done or inspired by women"-writes
from Geneva, Ill: 81 am TO give an
afternoon talk on civic progress and
am in hopes of starting town improve
ment."
In Chipley, Fla, the streets are
covered with "razorbacks" and the
politicians in possession will give no
relief Can you frame a petition"
writes Chipleyite, ''that will stir the
civic pride of the citizens and convert
the mayor and council?"
In Detroit the club women want to
improve the alleys and back areas and
pathetically write: "We are helpless
and ignorant, and therefore seek
knowledge"
A longing for improvement so wide
spread must be deep seated, and in this,
tired workers in the cause should find
encouragement. 1t is not sporadic
manifestation of sentiment, but a pro.
found stirring of the social conscience.
Its source is not in individual thought,
but in the common mind, the mind of
the mass, and no effort by individual
or local organization will be fruitless
when sustained by this social force

No DishOnOr to Missouri.

In an editorial comment upon the
Doodle investigation in Missouri the
Philadelphia Record takes the correct
and consistent view of the work now
being done in Missouri for the sup
preston of corrupt practices.
The significance of the Doodle in
vestigation is that the Democratic
party in this State is determined that
bribery shall not prevail to affect legis-
lation, and that it is not afraid to ex-
pose, convict and punish those guilty
of bribery. The prosecution of the
boodling members of the st. Louis
Municipal Assembly was made possible
by the election of Democratic admin
istration, the Circuit Attorney elected
on that ticket promptly instituting an
inquiry when certain incidents indi-
Gated that big boodling schemes had
found partners IN the local Legislative
body The investigation of boodling
In the State Legislature was begun on
charges preferred by Democrats and is
being vigorously conducted by the
Democratic Attorney General Of the
State and the Democratic Circuit At
torney OF ST. Louis.
The Philadelphia newspaper is quick
to see the Significance of these facts.
$50 far from being dishonored State, T"
says the Record, "it Is In the highest
degree creditable to the people OF
Missouri that they are, without dis
tinction of party, supporting with all

ties to bring the corruptionists to

justice" This is the essential teach
ing of the Jefferson City and ST. Louis
Doodle Investigations. Missouri De-
mocracy is making war on the bood-
lers and conducting the fight in so de-
termined spirit as to attract the at
teution of the entire country. Other
States and other cities suffering from
legislative boodling are wistfully
watching Democratic achievement in
Missouri and in St, Louis, praying that
tho anti-boodling crusade so tiercely
conducted in Missouri may extend
wiz NV throughout the Union and with
equal. satisfactory results in the
direction OF reform.
The Philadelphia Record is correct
in its logic. The State of Missouri is
not dishonored because a Democratic
administration has exposed the boodle
scandals and is swiftly moving to So
cure the punishment of the boodlers.
1t is honored instead. Its constituted
authorities are proving to the world
that boodling will not be permitted to
flourish in Missouri. The example sci
to other States should be of almost
inestimable value in stimulating them
to similar efforts for legislative puri-
fication. .-Repubhc.

Mr.. Bryan and the Dedication.

The outside newspapers are COM
menting on the fact that William Jen-
nings Bryan has not been invited to at
tend the great Worlds Fair dedication.
Some of these journals, seeking to
make political capital, are claiming
that the Worlds Fair management has
deliberately and Intentionally slighted
the brilliant Nebraskan. The jour
nails thus seeking to make political
capital of small matter arc, by no
means, confined to the pronounced
Bryan section OF the Democratic party.
Many are Republican organs.
Those directing the destinies of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition have
made very laudable effort to keep
the Worlds Fair entirely free from
party politics.
No one knowing the real facts in the
case will imagine for one moment thai
in failing to invite Mr.. Bryan any
slight was intended. Nevertheless, II
would seem that the Worlds Fair
management has made a mistake W hich
should be corrected Immediately.
While 1t is true that Mr.. Bryan IL

Of any official position, he is certainly

entitled to it for many other reasons.
Twice candidate for the Presidency,
William Jennings Bryan is certainly
and even his most strenuous opponents
must concede this-one of the foremost
men of the country.
He is the recognized leader of a
great political party. He is world
famed orator. He is the editor of an
Influential ard widely-circulated news
paper By virtue of any one of these
facts it would surely seem that Mr..
Bryan is entitled to be an in vited guest
at the dedication. That he was not
invited was probably due merely to an
oversight.
Mr.. Bryan is coming to St. Louis to
address the International Good Roads
Convention, which meets here dedi.
cation week. The management of the
Worlds Fair should promptly see that
he Is asked to attend the great dedi-
cation as an honored guest. Failure
to invite Mr.. Bryan is certain to re.

and should be, avoided. In honorine

AUTOMATIC SUICIDE.

Clergyman Act.

The Lancet Discusses an English
Clergyman's Act.
The Lancet discusses an inter

psychology concerning the recent
suicide Of a clergyman "a years of
age. The suicide was apparently
absolutely unaccountable.
The writer III the Lancet sug
geSts that the act was automatic
and not voluntary. 1t seems that
the clergyman had a fall from
bicycle. He got home, changed
his clothes, took a revolver from
a drawer, loaded it, and shot him.
self.
The Lancet concludes that the
fall induced a form of cerebral
conclusion which permitted the
sufferer to perform complex and
apparently reasoned acts, posi-
bly, quite at variance with his usu-
al behavior, Of which he would
have retained no recollection had
he recovered from the cOncussiOn.
The sight Of the revolver. its i'm
age impinging on the retina,

head and pulling the trigger, the
act being automatic and not vol.
