II Mr. Folk is nominated how
are the Democrats to defend
themselves from these ch argos?
La his speeches Mr., Folk
charges corruption, bribery,
trickery, and almost every other
crime in the whole gamut of the
political catalogue. Just stop
and reflect for mJment. With
standard bearer who has made
such charges and is still making
them, the republican press aud
speakers will have the opportu-
uty to thrust knife in the vi
tails of the Democratic party.
With "thieves, thugs and trick
sters" as slogan, a motto
voiced by Mr.. Folks chosen
representatives, how are the
Democrats to answer the char
ges of the Republicans. What
will you say and what will you
do, fellow Democrats, when
these charges are hurled at you?
You dare not go back to your
own administration for facts to
retute the statements of the
Republicans. But the Demo
cratic party is NOT corrupt
The men who have held office
have been men who have acted
for the best interests of Missouri.
The record made is one that
every honest Democrat is proud
of. that he can point to with
pride, a record that in thirty
years the Democratshave placed
Missouri in the front rank OF
. states and that with a reduced
tax rate, making no irksome
burden for the farmer and
working man. Because two OF
three meu are and have been
corrupt, why charge it to the
whole party? Are you willing
to say that all the men, even a
large majority of the men who
f have placed this state where il
: is, were corrupt!
Do you think that the mer
r with whom you daily come il
, contact are dishonest? Why
then. do you think that if they
were az Jefferson City in charge
of the affairs of this state they
would be corrupt? Just put OF

Democratic Governors elect, it
was what they 5000 for in their
every day transaction of lite rot
on some remote political ri'inci-
pie.
County candidates often hear
such expressions as this: I am
a $50 and SO, but in county af-
fairs, | vote for the man." For
our our county offices, three Re
publicans and four Democrats
were elected; and some oil the

najorities on either side were
TOO large to be interestinfi, all of
v hich goes to show that voters
are no longer victims of party
machines. Winning candidates
on split tickets may not always
be the best men, but the voters
so consider them, otherwise they
would not switch. Splitting
tickets in search of the best men
is bad politics but good common
sense.

THE SPLIT BALLOT.

One of the best evidences OF
the growth of political business
and righteousness over prejudice
is the ability of the masses to
vote intelligently what is com
monty called the split ticket. Up
to a few years ago, the split
ticket was as rare as the straight
one is today. Moss back" and
dyed in the wool" partisans are
now considered old fashion
sure evidence that, as time
passes we vote more for the
man than for the party he
affiliates with. We saw it in the
last election all along the line.
The result of the national cleo
ton clearly shows that hundreds
of thousands of gold Democrats
and silver Democrats alike voted
for Roosevelt; probably not so
much on account of the policies
of his party as on account OF
personality frankness, his
impulsiyeness, his integrity, his
unexplainable something, called
in psychology, the ego. These
Democrats have not joined the
Republican ranks. They are
Democrats still, and may never
vote for another Republican
President.
Almost as marked and sur
prising was the result of some of
the Gubernatorial elections.
Massachusetts went overwhelm-
ingly for Roosevelt, yet the
Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, William Douglass, of the
Douglass Shoe" fame, rolled
up a. plurality of $4,000. The
people of both parties wanted
Douglass, because he was Doug
lass, not because he was Demo
crat. The Douglass shoe fac
tories employ thousands of men.
and the owner stands high among
them, as he does among all
classes. His reputation for in
tegrity, ability and broad mind
edness elected him.
Missouri went Republican ON
the national ticket, and on the
State ticket, except for Gov
ernor. James W. Folk, the Gov
efnor- elect, is the present Attor-
ney-General, and made himself
gloriously famous by his prose-
cutions of the st. Louis boodlers
By his courage and energy, he
brought public officials of high
standing and with all the in
huence money and political ma
chinery could bear, to the bar of
justice.
In Minnesota, the Democratic
candidate for Governor won out,
and was the only one of his
party who did. An unjust cam
paign SANDER was circulated
against him, which acted as a
boomerang. The rank and file
of the Republican party of that
State showed their disapproval
of such methods by splitting
their ballot on Governor.
Colorado and Montana went
Republican nationally, but each
elected Democratic Governors.
Rhode Island came very close to
doing SD.
Roosevelt may not be making
any better President than Parker
would make, but the people
knew what Roosevelt stood for,
and only presumed what Parker
stood for. In the case of the

HISTORICAL TABLETS.

The proposal which originated in the
Hawaiian Historical Society to mark
the spots on Hawaiian soil where i'm
portant events in our history took
place, is a good one. 1t is to be hoped
it will meet with the support necessary
to carry it out. 1t as in line with
movement observable in many Ameri-
can cities. The Chicago Historical So
ciety has placed several elaborate me-
mortal tablets and statuary at points
where notable events in the early his
tory of that city took place Chicago
can we'll afford to adopt elaborate me-
MORALS, for the places to be marked in
Chicago are not very numerous. After
the site of old Fort Dearborn had been
marked, and the point where occurred
the greatest slaughter of the Fort
Dearborn massacre, there were not so
very many more places that in any his
torical sense deserved being marked.
In and about Boston, on the other
hand, the points of greatest interest to
the patriot and the student or lover of
early American history are numerous.
And the work of marking them has been
enthusiastically taken up. SO that
now, the visitor who viii but keep his

very high degree of artistic merit.
Others have been marked by boulders,
and granite slabs with carved inscrip-
tions. But the great majority of the
marking is done, and appropriately
done by tablets. And in the matter of
tablets there is one point that might
be worth the attention of those who
shall undertake the marking of the
points of historic interest in Hawaii.
1t is this, that while bronze and marble
tablets are being placed in position as
rapidly as funds can be provided for
them, there are scores and scores of
tablets which are merely painted
boards with the inscription lettered on
them. The advantage of these is that
they mark the spot which ought to be
marked, while Identification of it is GER
tain, and they can be replaced by the
more durable tablets as fast as money
is forthcoming to do it. It might be
we'll in Hawaii to use the money that
first becomes available to mark as
many spots as possible in this way
while Identification can still be made,
leaving to further effort to secure
funds, the means to make these tab
let's of durable material.
