that all this is true. The Sherman
antitrust act was passed bv the
first Congress that the Rel .uhlicans
elected after the first appearance
Of the trusts, the Congress which
was chosen in 1883, and Gen. Har-
rison was the President that signed
it. The only party who has shown
either the honesty or the courage
to deal with the trusts is the Re
publican party. The Republicans

very important asset for the party

The Value of Trees.

In many parts Of our country
farming would be impossible but
fox the tees, such is their influence
upon the streams. They regulate
the wa,ersupply, and their ten
dency is to prevent both floods and
dronth; they supply fuel, one of
the greatest necessities of life, and
they furnish the lumber for the
buildings Of our cities, railroads,
ships, and thousand other things
without which our present state of
civilization, wouId not have been
possible for ages, if at all. This
is why we should be careful of our
forests, which are fast dwindIing
away in many sections; this is why
we should iegislate against sheep
grazing in the forests, and against
all other practices which tend to
cause forest fires, and why we
should try to protect our trees
from their natural enemies, such
as landslides, foods, insects and
fungi. 1t is we'll to bear in mind
the fact that we cannot replace in
fifty years tree which we can de-
stroy in an hour.-April Woman's
Home Companion.

''Old Technicaities," otherwise
the state supreme court, got busy
again one day last week and re-
manded another of the ST. Louis
Doodle cases for anew trial. As
in all the doodle cases which have 50
far been passed upon by the sn-
preme court, this lust case was re-
yersed upon technical defect in
the Indictment, the question of the
defendants guilt was not even con-
sidered by the supreme judges.
While it may be that such seem
ingly inconscquential errors in
drawing up the charge against the
defendant are sufficient to justify
reversal Of the verdict Of the
trial court, this constant repetition
of hair-splitting in the Doodle cases
is almost certain to create the CON
viction in the public mind that the
the higher court of the state is dis
posed to regard boodIing as mere
ly "conycntional crime" whose
perpetrators are to be given the
full benefit of every loophole in
the law. The easiest interpreta.
tion OF the supreme courts conduc,
is, that the primary object of its
technical rulings in the Doodle
cases is rather to cast doubt upon
the legal ability of Joseph W.

The lively interest manifested by
the Republicans IN State politics
in Missouri this year is the result
of general good feeling in the party
over the outlook for Republican
success. All party differences are
being patched up andharmony is the
watchword. The time seems past
when anyone who would consent
to take the party nomination would
do to lead the forlorn hope, and
for the first time in many years
Missourians are witnessing the fact
that Republican nominations for
state offices are being sought rather
than going begging. There is a
feeling in the party that q
turn from it's old hard luck
is at hand. The one thing tha,
will keep Missouri from going Re
publican this year will be tht
greater exercise of Democratic
fraud in the state board governe &c
cities than't,iat party has ever in
dulged in before.

The Issue of the Trusts.

There is no longer any doubt
that the trusts will have a very i'm
portant place in the Republican
national platform of 1904. Ever
since the question of the trusts was
created, through the organization
of the sugar combine in 1886, the
Republican party has given place
in its platforms to that subject. 1t
has dealt with the question in Con-
gress. Whenever an opportunity
offered, the Republicans assailed
the trusts in the courts. All this
will be set forth in the Republican
declaration on that question in the
platform which will be adopted in
Chicago this year.
OF course, the decision by which
the Northern securities company
has been oyerthrown will have i'm
mense influence in favor Of the Re
publicans in the campaign Of 1904.
The administration has received
some very fine tributes from Dem
ocratic as well as Republican pa
pers for its work in framing and
pushing the case against that big
railway pool. The Democratic
New York Herald, for example,
points out that the ''antitrust law
was framed by Republican, was
passed by Republican House and
and Republican Senate and was
signed by Republican President"
the claw remained dead letter or
the statute books during the entire
second term of Grover Cleveland,
Democratic President; the First
effort to enforce the law was made
by Theodore Roosevelt, Repab
liean President: the decision 0
the Supreme Court was due tt
five Judges, every one of whom
was Republican,; the ''dissentine
minority Of the court include
every Democratic Judge of tia
tribunal.

Democratic newspaper is true t.

One of the best evidences that
the rank and file of the Democratic
party is for Folk is shown in the
returns of the counties where the
delegates to the State convention
have been chosen at primary elec.
tions. The majority of these coun-
ties have given Folk large majori-
ties. While quite a number OF
leading Democratic papers are op-
posing Folk, they evidently do not
voice the true sentiment of the pco-
pie; they are the ring organs, sus-
tanned in their opposition to popu-
lar elamor by the graft that is
handed them by the ringters.

The issue the Democrats intend
to make in the national campaign
this year is, apparently, Roosevelt.
Their policy will be to proclaim
the President as unsafe to trust
with another term, and, by making
noise enough along this line, they
seem to think that the people can
be scared into defeating him.
President Roosevelt 5 ''unsafeness"
seems to lie in the fact that he does
things and that these things are
what the people want done. This
alone is sufficient to condemn him
with the Democrats, who want
nothing done and who do nothing
when in power but draw official
salaries. President Roosevelt is
too sane a man to run his ''Stren-
uousness" to a point Of endanger-
ing the safety Of the nation. He
is patriotic and progressive, am
bilious not for himself but for the
people whom he serves. If public
policy demands the breaking Of
rusty and moth-eaten precedents,
be is ready to break them and es-
tablish a new rule to go by. Presi
dent Roosevelt is an unsafe man to
only to those interests which seek
to hide their selfish motives
under the cloak Of conserVa
.ism. The trusts would prefer a
conservative man in the presiden-
tial chair, and the trans, continental
railroad interest would probably
have succeeded in baking the
Panama canal scheme 4 while long
er with that kind of a president.

With Republican rule in Mis-
souri, elections would be conducted
On the same basis of honesty by
which they are conducted in other
states governed by that party.
One meyer hears of complaints Of
political injustice except from
states where the Democrats rule.
The reason for this is that the lat
ter party is intolerant of anything
which menaces a continuance Of its
power. Thus in such states we
have the evils of Goebelism, ''In-
dianism" and ''red-shirtism."
