MIR. GUTKE ON CORPORATIONS,

There is such thing OVERRIDING even Il cOnfes-
sion. and when Mr.. Gutke declares that there is
hardly corporation in the city of st. Louis of
$250O00 and over that has not either been held up
for bribe money or bought official action from the
combine in the House of Delegates" the statement
may be set down to penitential zeal. 1t is oh
vOuSly inaccurate exaggerated. as to deceive no.
body familiar with the business life of ST Louis.
1t is true that a number of corporations have
committed the crime of bribery either voluntarily or
involuntarily. This is Shown by the detailed evi-
dence educed by Mr.. Folks invcstiga tionS But the
number is comparatively small. The aggregate of
St Louis corporations having quarter million cap
ital is enormous and the business done by them is
infinitely various Only small percentage of them
have public quasi public character, or require
franchises special legislation of any kind. But
few of them in any event require any legislative
major part Of corporate character and corporate
duty is defined by State laws. while the municipal
laws affect but small number of concerns
In strict justice TO the business corporations of
St Louis it is in order to say that of the compara
lively small number which have business affected by
the action naction of the House of Delegates only
a minor percentage of these have violated the laws
of bribery. Far more of them have declined to he
held up than have yielded Far more of them have
foregone benefits and privileges than have criminal
ly approached the bOodlers
Mr.. Gutko perhaps deserves a measure of approval
for unbosomng himself of the secrets OF crime.
The zeal of penitence comes from good impulse But
in pouring forth his flood of confessions he has over
done the matter of corporate completely in crime.
Those corporations which have participated in cor
rupt transactions cannot be censured too deeply,
and whenever possible their guilty officers should be
convicted and given the fullest penalty of the law
But the far greater number which have not violated
the laws should not he subjected to misrepresenta
ton.

THEY DON'T REMEMBER.

Carroll County Republicans in convention assem-
bled call upon Mr.. Folk and his friends to repeal the
''Nesbit" election law under which Republicans
have been deprived of their birthrght."
Mr.. Folk and his friends might reply that they
would like to know what part of the law deprives
anybody of birthright
The law of 1895, introduced by Republicans and
passed by Republican House, is practically tho
statute books to-day.
To silence Republican uprOar damaging to the
State committee of leading citizens of st. Louis
framed amendments in 1908 abolishing central reg
istration and agreeing to every demand made by
responsible Republicans. These amendments were
passed by the Legislature Every intelligent Repub
lican in St Louis expressed his satisfaction with the
law amended.
The "Nesbit" law does not exist, admitting
that bothered single birthright when did exist
Mr.. Folk never made promise of advocating
change in the election law for the reason that both
Democrats and Republicans glad to think that
both parties are satisfied with the statutes they
stand.
Carroll County Republicans must have dug out
one of their old "Nesbit' law platforms of 1900

YTHE MODEL STREET.

The municipal section of the Worlds Fair Depart
ment of Social Economy is formally put into com
mission The Model Street. In many respects it is
one of the most interesting and cducative features
of the Exposition. and the opinion is held among
nicipalists thEt it will have great weight in augment
ing popular appreciation of public improvements in
cities.
All kinds Of public improvements are exhibited.
There are model public buildings. streets sewers.
lighting. parks, clubs. fountains, kiudergartenS.
Fairgrounds and other aGjuncts of bcttcrmcnt.
Berlin. New York, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, ST.
Paul. Kansas City, San Francisco and other munich
paes of the United States. China. Japan and Euro
pean countries have special exhibits
The idea conveyed in The Model Street is that the
right perma1ent improvements arc investments
which add TO the ctnvenierccs enjoyed by the ma
jority and promote Emptiness and make life i'll the
cities far more pleasant The Model Street is an en-
enlplifcaton of the city beautiful, and as such L
will appeal strongly 10 all visitors.

TOKENS OF UNITED STRENGTH.

Convention next week will he marked for harmony

These deductions are inevitable from the recent
uttcrances of prominent Democrats in all sections.
Animated discussions of candidates and ISSUES have
not abatei and the kcencst interest of uncertainty
attaches to the party's coming action. Indeed the
very animation displayed is the signal evidence
Of party loyalty and the most hopeful sign OF en-
thuSiastic Democratic campaign.
But il is animation and not animus- us-that distinc-
ion should he clear enough to any observer Aud
the momcntous interrogation which hangs over the
conventions course is viewed by all Democrats
alike. There will be, by every sign and probability
manifestation of the true spirit of Democracy
over the party's decsions-a free submission 10 the

OF the works performed thus far by the Civic

popularity that has been bestowed upon the play
grounds and free-baths projects. Last year the
Fairgrounds were patronized by 6S000 youngsters
while the baths were used by 1900. That was a
showing which proved very encouraging TO Chair

indicated what steps should be taken 10 add TO the

STEALING DEMoCRACY's CREDIT.

Nowhere in the Republican platform is the reck-
lessness of mendacity more strlkiUgly exploited
than in its pointing with pride to the Roosevelt anti
trust record where it says:
Laws enacted by the Republican party which
the Democratic party failed to enforce and which
were intended for the protection of the public
against the unjust discrimination of the illegal
croachment of vast aggregatons of capital have
been fearessly enforced by Republican President"
In the face of the facts it is ridiculous assert
that Mr. Roosevelt originated the antitrust prosecu-
tions or that the present antitrust laws sourced
in a Republican administration; just as it is the
sheerest falsehood TO charge the Democratic party
with failure to enforce the prior antitrust law As
matter of fact the Cleveland administration laid the
foundation for Mr. RooseveltS alleged antitrust
tivity and such credit he and his party have ap-
propriated rightly belongs to the Democratic admin
istration preceding Mckinley.
One of the first cases to which Attorney General
Harmon. under President Cleveland. addressed his
efforts was the great of the United States YER
sus The Transmississippi Freight Association. 1t
Lad been lost by the Government prior to Harmon s
taking Office and pending appeal in the Su-
preme Court Seeing its Importance, involving as it
did the construction and enforcement of the anti
trust law, Mr.. Harmon took personal charge of the
case, personally and without assistance prepared
the brief and made the oral argument against a
great array of counsel. He won the and it was
the first one in which the law had ever been en-
forced. 1t involved combination of Western rail-
roads for the fixing and maintaining of freight
and otherwise sitting competition.
After that decision, which announced early
in the fall of 1885, the Eastern roads effected an
other combination in which they attempted to get
around the decision by various changes in methods.
The new combination called THE Joint Traffic
Association" Mr.. Harmon at once brought suit
TO enjoin action Hnder their agreement.
Shortly afterwards the manufacturer; of iron pip.
ing got up scheme to prevent competition and were
promptly sued under the existing law. The case was
