The CAMPAIGN.

The state campaign is not progress
ing In q very satisfactory and healthy
manner. 'The state ticket will doubt.
less be elected by the usual or more
than usual majority, but the charac.
ter Of the campaign is such as in
ordinary years would lead to disaster,
Even as it IS the future results must
be bad.
There is the St. Louis Post
Dispatch, a professed democratic
paper, urging its readers to scratch
Cook and Allen, There is the St.
Louis World, a profesSed democratic
paper, urging its readers to scratch
Folk. There is the Kansas City Star,
a professed independent paper, BOOM
ing Roosevelt and Folk and seeking
to bring about an exchange Of
auxiliaries. There are those who
give indubltable evidence of not car.
ing a fig whether anybody else is
elected II only Folk may be made to
lead the ticket by ten thousand votes.
There are others who would rejoice
to see Folk fall behind the ticket by
ten thsusand votes.
Such sentiments as these cause no
other feelings than those Of disgust
to plain democrats, who, whatever
personal preference they may feel
before a nominating convention, know
no other sentiment after that than
an earnest desire for the harmony of
the party and the success Of its
whole ticket. The ticket is going to
succeed. 1t is going to succeed in
spite Of all that is Objectionable and
reprehensible In the canvass. 1t is
going to succeed in large part because
the incidents Of the last four years Of
democratic administration 10 st.
Louis and the further recent victory
Of decency in the democratic primary
St. Louis have served to colonize
all the disreputable political elements
in that quarter upon the republican
preserve, to the disgust Of honest men
all over the state. The republicans
can't help it. A familiar incident
years ago unlOaded upon us for a
while all the anarchists in the land.
Democratic victory In Missouri is won
now, but it will be a victory barren
Of good results unless it may be
achieved and increased by unanimity,
party spirit and devotion to whole
party principles and aims.

The st. Louis World is emitting a
great roar about police interference at
the recent democratic city primaries
in which the Butler element was de.
feated 10 every contested ward. The
republicans have been bowling about
police interference every time they
have been beaten for ten years.
Baseball and football have taught the
public to "cuss" the umpire whenever
a favorite gets the worst OF it. The
World will get little comfort from
the public, which considers the
Folk Halves ticket the home team.

The Kansas City Star is now chaui
pioning the Kaw river as a Manageable
stream. The oldest inhabitant AN
not remember ever to have seen a
word 10 that paper about the Usage
or Crooked rivers or Willow creek in
connection with improvement by the
national government, but the Kaw
river is an object of It's most Sblicitous
concern. The Star says ~editorlallY;
"If the Kaw river is not navigable 1t
is because the Federal government
has neglected it's duty Of supervision
over it. The trial trip Of a big gaso-
line boat yesterday demonstrated that
except for low bridges and artificial
distractions In the river bed packets
OF large size could traverse the river
for a length of seventy.fve or a hun
dred miles," 1t is confidently be-
lleved that the Star has neglected its
education in the matter Of Missouri
geography, or else it would not be
blind to the commercial possibilities
Of the Tabo and Little Sni.

Card.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER--:I have
been informed that Mr.. Glover Branch,
republican nominee for represt ntative
from this county to the next general
assembly, in a speech. at Wellington
last week, severely criticised the de.
mocracy Of Mr.. Charles Keith, the
democratic nominee, and referred to
me as a witness on that subject. For
me to remain silent under the cIrcum-
stances, might make a wrong impress
sion to the effect that there had been
some agreement between us concerning
the matter or that he had knowledge
that my opinion would he unfavorable
to our candidate.
While l am not so presumptuous as
to suppose that my opinion will settle
the party standing Of anyone, yet 1
recognize that Mr.. Branch has the
perfect right to call upon any person
he chooses to testify to his opponents
politics. This is legitimate campaign
tactics.
Since be hes referred to me, l take
pleasure in saying that l have never
questioned Mr.. Keith's democracy. l
believe him to be a sound, loyal demo.
Graf without fear and without reproacb.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM YOUNG,

But we are too chicken-h hearted to
apply the remedy OF criminal pros.
ecution. The administration OF
Justice In America Is feminine IN
spirit. So long as we read OF whole
sale slaughters as mere news wonders
and save our feelings and maudlln
sympathies for condemned criminals
we may expect such butcheries as
that Of Monday to continue.

The country papers are beginning
to be flooded with literature recon-
mendtng the adoption OF the second
constitutional amendment to be voted
on in Missouri in November. This
amendment relates to the initiative
and referendum, a populist nostrum
that could serve no other purpose
than TO increase the burdens Of cit.
izenshlp and iniure the system Of
representative government by lessen
ing the dignity of representive officers.
Il is safe to vote no in the case Of
each Of The amendments, though two
Of them have some merit in them.

The Kansas City Star has fallen in
love with Tom Watson. The Star
was once rather %unfrtendly to poplism,
but the Star has undergone a change
Of heart In many particulars lately.
The Star now says of Watson, "He is
sincere, aggressive and popular.
Being a mischief-maker for the dem
ocrats, the Star is naturally delighted
with him. When German played
Weaver against the republicans as
the republicans are now playing
Watson against the democrats, the
Star thought populism a pitlfu-
insanity.

The Odessa Ledger Of last week
contains some criticism apparently
aimed at the County Court for not
giving longer notice Of the letting Of
the contract for printing the ballots.
The time was short, but the editors
Of the Higk insville %Jetfersonian, the
Higginsville Leader, and the Odessa
democrat were here, and the Ledger
might have come or sent. All Of the
representatives of the papers men,
toned spoke Of the time of their
notice and all seem to have been
notified at the same time, which was
the same as that Of the notice given
the two papers here. The court may
had reasons Of its own for the length
of the notice or 1t may have over
looked the matter until the day
before adjournment. In any event
the notice was sufficient to bring rep
resentatives Of five papers, and the
whole matter is Of too little impor-
lance to make the basis OF serious
criticism Of the court.

The Butler element 10 St. Louis is
said to have dominated the republican
city convention in st. Louis Monday
and to have dictated the nomination
of men for the most part who are iav-
orable to the interests he represents.
Hawes' victory last week turned over
to the republicans a mass of elements
that is bound to swamp their boat.

Several of the county papers are
running a call for a meeting of the
newspaper men of Lafayette county
to be held at Higginsville, October
20, for the purpose Of organizing a
county association. Editor Bales of
the Odessa Democrat has been clamOr-
ing for such an organization eve
since he came to this county and now
it seems that about all the papers in
the county have taken the matter
up. Such an organization If intent
upon serious purposes ought to be a
source Of inspiration to its members
and to result in good 10 everybody.
So let every newspaper in the county
be represented at the first meeting
and see what can be done.

The defense of Port Arthur will go
down in history as one Of the most
heroic efforts in the calendar of war.
1t has shown that in spite Of the mar
velous Advancement 10 the use Of ex-
plosives and projectiles, favored sites
may still be fortified so that a triflng
force may withstand a host. Douot-
less the japanese have lost more men
in this siege than the Russians have
had in the defense twice over, and
the fortress now seems as far from It's
fail as it ever was If the war should
now end by the intervention of the
powers the defense of Port Arthur
would be the one bright spot in Rus
sian record.
