to the Mayors successnot that they desire any but
good government but that their election would be the
furtherance of partisan ends; political ends If you
please. The Council nomnatiOns-of men Of good
character-were designed the entering wedge of a
returning partisan policy. In power these men, and
perhaps legitimately by their own process OF re-
son, would be impelled to use the leverage OF their
position and numbers for political purposes.
Partisanship Of whatever character, party designs
and local politics have place in the consideration
of citizens at this time The city delegated its work
to Mayor Wells and his associates Business sense
requires the city to place by his side men who
will not thwart the citys plans, who will assist and
not retard them.
1t is business proposition that must appeal to ev-

Wells is competent executive manager, with great
work before him; the people the stockholders and

EMBARRASSING PUBLIC OFFICERS.


The public may be slow to comprehend, but will
inevitably to perceive the object underlying the
attempts TO create show of hostility between Mr..
Folk and Mr. Halves.
MI. Folk is capable Circuit Attorney engaged in
the performance of public duties; the latter is a ca
pabe and responsible head Of efficient police serv-
ice engaged in the performance of public duties no
less weghty. The duties of the two lie along the
same path, the one being partly dependent upon the
other
Public welfare requires that the functions of the
two departments be allowed to take their common
course without embarrassment interference Ger
tain special interests however, may be served by
creating friction and dsturbance-the nature of these
interests may be readily guessed. And the political
interests of not in sympathy with good gov
ernment or good service may be promoted by manu-
fucturing fictitious trouble fer these officials
As matter of fact, there is no friction between
their respective Offices The Police Department has
never failed to comply with every legitimate request
of the Circuit Attorneys offce-nor Is It to be in
ferred that these requests have exceeded proprety
and in numerous Instances, indeed, has shown a
special Difference and courtesy in rendering informal
assistance not strictly required.
1t is the rankest injustice both to Mr.. Halves and
Mr. Folk and their departments to create an impress
sion that they hamperng each other. Moreover
it is an oense against the people of St Louis 1t is
also form of hypocrisy in politics.

PASS THE BILLS.

The jefferson Club election bill should be enacted
into law for the sufficient that its provisions
are the best that have been Incorporated in such
measure this State. For the sake Of the publicity
and registration features alone the bill should be
passed.
St Louis desires the best election law that can be
framed The present statute, known as the Nesbit
law, has been made object of bitter attack While
the law is good by comparison there exists demnad
for a perfected statute The Jefferson Club bill is
undoubtedly improvement the present and
applicable to this city, and the voters
are hoping that it will take the place Of the existing
law as soon possible.
This bill was framed by representative men Of this
city meet local conditions in a that would
establish equality and fairness in registration and
elections 1t meets the demands of all intelligent
voters, regardless of party utilization, and would be
effective in the direction Of right any law could
be- Under these circumstances the Legislature could
not well refuse to make it a law.
The Legislature is urged to pass the bill before ad
journment, and also to pass the penalty BILL which is
essentially part of the election bill One is as neces
sary as the other. The attitude of the Republicans
in opposing enactment OF better election law need
not be Needed as 1t is assumed out of motives in
ensely bigoted and partisan. The sterling merit of
the bill is the argument in favor of prompt action
in putting it in the statutes.
The Republic has informed the Legislature that
the bill prepared with the purest motives and
best intentions by bipartisan committee composed
of capable, reliable The Republic assures the
legislators that the law will be advancement
and that under it. fair elections will be heidi that it
will be as potent for good as any law could be- The
Republic urges the Legislature to pass the election
bill and the penalty BILL Both deserve on their mer
its, to become laws.

STREET RAILWAY REGULATION.

There is much more substance than some persons
have in the street railway regulation bill that
has been passed by the Municipal Assembly. Should
this bill become an ordinance the special laws gov
ernng street railways will coincide more closely with
the articles of the City Charter than they have in
many years.
Special laws relating to railway corporations have
had tendency to far enlarge the general author
ty of the companies conceal, in great degree,
the authority Of the city In controlling the service
and protecting the public. When the legislation was
suggested question arose as to whether the city had
the power to regulate the railways by enacting new
laws, thus indicating that the special laws in force
did not make clear that the city had authority ana
that there doubt whether stringent new laws
could be enforced.
The passage of the bill greatly reduces the author
y Of the corporations and greatly Increases the au
horty of the CITY, This bill establishes the principle
that the city has almost unlimited power in deter
mining the character of service that shall be pro-
vided and in this respect the spirit of the Charter is
upheld.
The bill virtually gets back to the principle that
franchises granted to publicservce corporations
in order give to the public benefit that the
public does possess; and that the benefit, serv
ice, must be what conditions reasonably require 1t
assumes that if the service is not up to public re-
quiremens, the conditions Of the franchise are not
being fulfilled. This is than some Of the special
laws have ordained or implied.
That the railway companies are not supreme and
that the public Is greater Is the essence of the bill
The public will rejoice that the Municipal Assembly
has, in calm and proper way, restored a principle
which, if it should need to be enforced, can be
forced.
Mr.. Gibson has introduced in the Council bill to
create the office of Street Railway Supervisor The
duty of the official would be to that the companies
obey the regulation ordinance. The service on come
divisions particularly reaching into North and
South St Louis makes plain the necessity for pub

terests of the citizens The bill should be passed
The bill abolishing the tax cars and leyying in
lieu thereof tax of mill every cash fare will

by the Assembly.
These measures should put street railway matters,
so far as the city and the public concerned a
systematic basis. They among the most impor-
tant bills that the Assembly has passed In long time
they establish the rights of the public in definite
If the Gibson bill Is passed, street railway
legislation will be in much Ineligible shape.

the sale is open. without attempt at concealment He
names nine towns which are fagrantly and notori-

Aldrich is SO intimately associated with Rhode
Island that instantly upon considering the Govern
ors charges the mind the Senator with the
query-How much does he know about It? And pos
sble motives and possible of the new, crisp
legal tender rise to the imagination with quick sug
gestion.
To whose interest is it chiefly that Aldrich retains
his power? AS leader he embodies those policies
and dear to great monopolstic strategsts to
whom he is closely allied in interests as well by
personal ties. Can it be possible that the crafty
helmsman Of the Senate is with somewhat different
method Rhode Island Addcks? Or can it be that
he closes his eyes to kind of Standard Oil politics
in the vote hartering field?
