BEGINNING EARLY.

Already, we are informed, Missouri Republicans are formulating a program for annoying and embarrassing Cover of his office. One plan agreed on is to investigate the patronage of his off, flee, which amounts to something like $150,oo0 a year. and we suppose the away from him as much of the patron age as possible. As the Republicans will control both branches of the Leg islature they can cause him great deal of annoyance, but we predict that they will have their work cut out for them when they start in. If they have not yet had enough of Joe Folk they will get 1t if they set in to cripple him from purely partisan motives. He has shown himself a fighter who doesn't give in, and will make it in- teresting for his enemies.
 Folks plurality of little over 30,o00, when the State went for Roosevelt by almost an equal plurality, indicates very plainly that the best sentiment of the State stood by him, although the voters refused to support the other Democratic candidates on the State ticket. The fact that he is the only Democratic State officer, and the fur ther fact that the Legislature is Re- publican, will handicap him very much in his administration. and if his po- litical opponents suffer themselves con- trolled by partisanship instead of pa- triotism, his administration will be an unpleasant one, and possibly unsuccess- full. but as we said. he Is a fighter, and they will earn all the advantage they get.

"Hoyy Not To Do It."

Railway and Locomotive Engineering.
 There has been a spectacular head on collision of two Cotton Baldwin en- zines of the passenger type, at the Del mar race track. at St. Louis. The ma chimes were said in the press despatch es to have 70-in. driving wheels and were let loose under full steam from opposite ends of mile of temporary road.
 This performance was dignified by the name of test" and we are told that a corps of competent men were present to ascertain by actual observa- tion, and from a scientific and experl- menta standpoint, what results would follow such a collision. Notes of the condition of the track were made. etc. etc, etc.
 All this is pure bosh. It was not a test in any sense of the word. and no new facts concerning collisions 'or how to avoid them have been brought to light by it. A moving picture ma chine took photographs of the affair for reproduction in the various thea ters of our large cities, and that is about all the, scientific record anyone will ever see or hear of.
