alleys and public places complete municipal sys-
TEN would mean q cleaner and healthier city.
Reasons sufficient for q municipal system have
been cited. The advantages to be derived nom Q
municipal system evident and need be enumer-
ated at length. Looking at the proposition from
financial standpoint the reasons for municipal sys-
TEN just favorable. In all probability the city
could get far better results at greater EXPENSE but
it Is quite possible that the city could get better re-
suits at less expense.
Waste and garbage have value Bones may be
converted into fertilizer Certain garbage ingredients
may be used for soap. The oil in some garbage can
be put to use. The paper rags and scrap picked up
are worth something. There Is no doubt at all that
the waste gathered from streets and alleys and the
by-products Of many kinds Of garbage may be con-
verified into money or put to good use. The profit
from waste is much larger than may be estimated
casually.
At any rate it is certain that the city could give
better service than private contractor that all parts
Of the city would be visited regularly; that all gar
bage would be collected; that all waste and dirt from
streets and alleys would be removed that certain evils
connected with the privateconract system would be
done away with; and that, after all, though getting
better results the cost would not be increased Or
Increased, not to any considerable degree. com
plete municipal garbage disposal system Is logical
enterprise, as well as popular project

THE MISSOURI IDEA"


While credit for the neat and effective phrase must
be given Mr. Folk, 'the Missouri idea" itself may be
claimed as the original property of The Republic.
This paper has long and consistently strven to i'm
press upon the public mind the significance and force
of Missourfs great purpose in reforms.
As Tho Republic has shown the Missouri idea was
spontaneous. 1t sprang to life impulse; it be-
came motive, an inspiration, great movement and
purpose which have carried Missouri forward to the
position of leadership among States.
In urging emulation upon other States The Repub-
lie has contended and persstenty contends that every
community contains within itself the Potentially Of
reform, that the power lies dormant and needs only
the timely impulse to be changed into action The
Missouri idea is but the expression and development
OF great moral principle which underlies not only
Missouri but every other State and every other State
may give it similar expression and development.
The Delaware idea does not truly indicate the pub
lie mornls of Delaware; Addickssm is false express
sion. The Pennsylvania idea, Quayism is a false
preston. SO il Plattism in New York. Contrast
these with the Missouri 1dea which signifies in the
end uncorrupt and ncorruptible regime in munich
pal and State government.
However, the significance and application of the
Missouri idea by no means confined to municipal
and State regimes but extend to the national admin
istraton The Missouri idea may enter largely into
national issue.

of those who watched the proceedings in the Sullivan

boldly demanded that the jury weigh the motives and
