II was reported IA short time ago
that President Roosevelt had said
he wished the republicans would
let MIR. Folk be elected governor
of Missouri without opposition.
The story was false on Its face,
and now the president has denied
II To Judge Kendall u. Randolph,
of st. Joseph, who recently called
at the White House. The prcsi-
dent, Judge Randolph says, X
pressed admiration for MIR. Folk,
but said he hoped the Missouri re-
publicaus would nominate n strong
ticket and do their best To bring
Missouri into the republican line
For the republicans OF Missouri
To take any course but this would
be to disregard duty and throw
away opportunity. Republicans
will be glad to see the democracy
nominate MIR. Folk, because as
good citizens they want Missouri 10
have nm honest and able governor
no matter which party wins.
They will further rejoice mt Mr..
Folks nomination because IL will
be n free and full confession by
the state democracy of the truth
Of all the most serious charges
which republicans have made In
tho past against democratic man
agemcnt OF state affairs, for Mr.,
Folk has made his fight with the
same allegations and arguments
that republicans have been using
against the stats democracy fol-
years. Would II not be the height
of political folly for republicans
to quit the fight and run away
just rs the enemy Is giving up the
gun? Would II not be indefcnsi-
bly, Sinking their duty to the stat,
for republicans to leave OIL trying
to drive the democracy from power
just when democracy was ac-
k~nowlcdging that 1t had for year,
been keeping boodlers In office
that democratic legislatures hat
been habitually selling out tn,
interests Of the state, and tha|
democratic governors and theil
appointees had been trampling tn,

Folk ticket, though he tried his
utmost to defeat Folks nominal

will not accept nomination as

problem will be held for further
observation. And the report has

I have every eason to admire

II should have no place In the
homes we pretend to admire so
much. In nincty-nine out OF n
hundred family quarrels Of this
character, the daughters begin 1t,
by expecting that which the men
believe IL unreasonable. The
daughters are encouraged to be-
gin these quarrcls by the maudlin
sympathy Of the public. Back OF
this sympathy Is unjust abuse OF
men who do the best they can;
who do pretty well. And every
woman who makes q mistake of
this kind, gets the worst OF II, be-
cause she runs up against a force.
Therefore II Is unjust to women to
coax them into a course that, In
the end, is pretty sure to do them
harm,

Folk Now Has Enough.

Joseph w. Folk is now practi-
cally the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party for governor. Sixty
one more delegates were added to
his instructed list Saturday at
county primaries aud mass meet
ings. This makes his total $3.50,
just Is more than the number re-
quired In convention to nominate
him.
Though Mr.. Folk has won his
fight, he will continue his cam
paign and will keep his speaking
dates AZ they were arranged when
he had active opposition. There
was no opposition to him In any
OF the counties Saturday, and he
received the whole voting strength
except In q few communities where
the machine is strong and don't
forget easily.

Administration Compared.

Ask any well informed man,
either at home or abroad, what adj
ministration, since the days of
James Buchanan, has been the
most expensive to the American
people and the most disastrous to
the United States rs n nation and
he will answer at once that II was
the last administration OF Grover
Cleveland.
The New York World thinks the
administration OF President Roosc-
welt should be condemned because
II cost more than that of Grover
Cleveland. Well, what II It did ?
Under the Cleveland administra-
ton we starved and went In debt.
Thousands upon thousands OF
American citizens went hungry,
and II the Lord and VIM. Mex i'm
ley had not changed conditions, We
would have all been bankrupt long
ago. The Roosevelt administra-
ton may have cost something, but
we had the money to pay for it.
We did not have to borrow money
alta ruinous rate to keep things
going, nor have the people suffered
for food. There Is not a sensible
citizen on the continent who
would exchange the years of the
Roosevelt administration with its
plenty and comfort for the Cleve-
land era with Its depression, hun
ger and ruin. A comparison of
the two administrations Is invited
by every Republican leader In the
United States. Let that be the is

THE OLD MAN.

daugnters 10 go into n mouse,
and take what they wanted. They
did so, and, after a time, the house
was sold to the government, and
1t became necessary to vacate IL,
as It was to be torn down. Stew
art had n lot OF old furniture, and
sold II to an auction man. His
daughters at once made n great
out cry, saying the ''sacred relics"
OF their mother had been chartered
for pelf" by their father; that he
sold her private letters, her little
keepsakes, etc.
Senator Stewart was so much
annoyed by the silly actions Of
his daughters that he signed his
name to a letter, and gave 1t to the
newspapers. lie said the stories
told reporters by his daughters
were palpable falsehoods; that he
sold no keepsakcs, no letters
nothing but a lot OF old furniture
that he did not want, and which
his two daughters did not want.
lIc said that he had kept one of his
daughters, the worst one, fifteen
years after her divorce from n man
who could not stand her, and cdu-
Gated her two sons. In return for
his kindness, she deliberately lied
about him, and had the lie printed
In the papers. The Senator seems
to had spunk enough to combat
even his own family, aud let the
public know that even he has a few
women fools. There are millions
OF worthy, useful women, but there
are foolish women OF course, and
one of the ways to settle them and
make fewer Of them was adopted
by Senator Stewart. A writer In
the Atchison Globe says;
Men are n good deal better than
they get credit for being. The
popular habit of abusing men, IL
a mistake. The men pretend NOT
To care, but they do. The great
majority of men arc admirable.
They arc pati,nt. md induatrious

thing | know OF IL the manner In
