LEST THEY FORGET.

What an amusing, serious, edfynk contrast is dis
closed in the platform promises OF lecal Republicans
They assure the Of this city that they will
purify the goodgorernment administration Of Mayor
Wells which does not satisfy them, and, If the Re
publican ticket be triumphant manage municipal af-
fairs in most brilliant ideal manner.
Never before has the Wells administration been
classed with the Ziegenhen regimeand there is the
hurncr that such comparison should at this time be
made, when the present government lis opulenr in
deeds well performed plans thoroughly conceived and
prospective work clearly defined Even partisan Re
publcans must smile at the absurJity of the party
reform pledges which founded on the acts and
schemes of the Ziegenhen cohorts
The Republican platform is unconvincing II it can
not be upheld by the work of the last Republican
administration. The Democratic pledges by the same
rule, vain if they cannot be supported and de-
Tended on the platform which the present Democratic
city officials have built since their inauguration two
years ago.
Platforms must stand fan By the deeds and ac-
cosnplisbmerts of the public officials who represent
the parties. They verbal demonstrations
If they exist without actual foundations which are
constructed from beneficial results and conscientious
performance Of duty.
The Republicans have thrown down the gauntlet,
maintaining that the service rendered by the present
administration is inefficient 1t is their wish to win
Augean stables and show wherein Ziegenhein meth
DDS better than the policy and achievements of
the Wells administration
Only two men, the Republicans contend. may be
set up By the Democrats as models-Mayor Wells and
Circuit Attorney Folk; all Of the Others they infer
have not succeeded in improving their respective de-
partments. The implication is therefore that the
Wells administration is unsuccessful for the reason
they pretend that the service has been better
in ether than two places in the government
Lest they forget that marvellous change for the
better has been effected in the municipal departments
the Republican town-criers are invited to compare
conditions in the departments with conditions that
prevailed scarcely more than two years ago. Not
many spnters OF the Republican platform win re-
main after the investigation Is finished.
The Democratic Collector Of the Revenue has sue
ceeded in saving about 10000 year In the current
expenses Of his ONCE and has also collected vastly
more revenue than his Republican predecessor Here

UNDER FALSE PRETENsEs.

According to the morning organ Of the Republic.

for the Jefferson Club election BILL the law Of 1903
voted for Ubiquitous, partisan contrivance Prob
ably these Republicans will congratulate themselves
over having the machine organ differ from them as
to the efficiency Of the statute. Their standing with
the people is better they assisted in giving ST Louis
the best law Of this kind that the city has had
Concerning the election law the Globe has been
sailing under false colors too long. 1t made cam
paign capital out Of the Nesbit law and camored for
a new law When the Jefferson Club bill was pro-
duced that paper did not subside, but noisily con-
tended that the new measure was designed for crim
nal purposes and that no law would suit the Re
publican machine, excepting the law of 1896 under
which the notorious Zegenhein gang marched into
the City Hall and seized the keys and combinations
The general objections made by machine Repub-
iicans against the bill were not fair comments, but
political protests that lacked foundation Arguments
and reasons against the measure were not forthcom
ing when demanded The Globe fell back in its
ancient ambush and yelled "NesbItism." Republican
pollparrots took up the cry, denounced the bill and
screamed for the law OF 1895. Yet, none of them
could dsprove the assertion that the Jefferson Club
bin was superior to its predecessors.
While the bill was pending in the Legislature the
interruptions Globe mafcieusy alleged that it was
born Of conspiracy to rob citizens Of their citizen
ship. Promptly The Republic gave the Globe a
challenge to prove the allegation be forever silent
The Globe could not prove the charge, and. there
fore, did not Try to do But the bin is scarcely
acted before that paper picks up the cards. and in
the nature Of objections, deals four ninespots to the
voters and attempts to make campaign material with
Eve aces
The Jefferson Club law, the Globe intimates is
partisan cortriyance because the Nesb law did not
contain effective penalty clauses. st. Louis voters
win not be deceived by glaring mendacious alb
surdty like that. They well aware that the new
law has no connection whatever with the Nesbit
law The Globe also infers that penalties are pre-
scribed for violation Of the provisions of the new
law, whereas the penalty law, which is virtually a
part Of the election statute, is the compre
hensive and the most severe that this city has at
any time had.

cover in the Law. it must suggest some defects IN

TO CREATE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Mr.. Folk is being used at every by the anti
Democratic papers to create false impressions
ing Democratic officials and leaders. The Republic
recently described of these obque efforts to
produce Democratic dissension.
The latest Is sourced in the innocent fact that the
Circuit Attorney did not happen to appear at the May
Or's banquet TO Governor Francis.
1t might be asked how the Mayor, endeavorng to
bring together the official recognized
of the cys leading activities could include the Cir
cult Attorney looking at the matter officially, with
out adding the United States District Attorney the
Sheriff, the Prosecuting Attorney and other similar
officers
The Mayors testimonial was not n gathering of
close personal friends to dinner but assembling
of representatives of organized activities, official and
commercial He left out his own cabinet. He in
Guided gentlemen with whom he probably has little
no personal acquaintance and great many friends
for whom he has the highest esteem did not receive
and did not expect to receive the official Invitation of
the Mayor
Now let this canard go TO rest. 1t is not seemly
and has no basis of reason.

AUTONOMY WOULD
BE BAD FOR NATIVES

The native Hawaiians don't know a
good thing when they have it. They
are going to petition congress to re-
store the islands their former indie
pendence.
The funny thing about the decision is
that the natives have more home rule
now than they have had since the
native dynasty was deposed by revo-
luton. Under the independent govern
ment that existed between that time
and annexation the native didn't count
very much or very often in govern
mental affairs. The English-speaking
people of the islands, English and
American. ran things to suit them
selves. Annexation, by enfranchising
the natives, gave them more power as
a body than they had under the Dole
government and more power as in
dividuals than they had under their
queen. But a taste of popular sover-
eighty has made their heads swim.
They now foolishly ask for a severance
of the relation that has given them
such unwonted power in their own
land. They do not seem to realize that
if independence were restored to Ha-
wall tomorrow. the natives would be
kicked out of power the day after by
the people of the dominant race.
Independence is a good thing, but the
United States is not in the business Of
creating independent states for the
benefit Of oligarchies in Hawaii or of
dictators in the Philippines.
Hawaii is in no sense a nation. The
kanakas are only third of the pop
ulation or less. The C'annish japanese
and Chinese have no Hawaiian patriot
ism. The dominant people Of the ISL
ands are warmly attached to the |
American connection. The native Ha- |
waiians will save themselves a good |
deal OF trouble during the remaining /
years Of their decrease and degenerc- /
ton If they viii stop finding fault with |
the only form Of government possible |
for them in which they will have any |
thing TO ay.-Minneapolis Tribune.
