ranged themselves outright on the

Mr.. Platt, in an interview, made
the same admission, saying: "The
Democratic mistake of putting
itself in an attitude of oppression

The Lying Republic.

During the State convention at
Jefferson City the past week the
unreliability OF the metropolitan
press of Missouri was forcibly
emphasized in connection with the
investigation of the alleged riots
that occurred at the st. Louis
county primaries. A st. Louis
paper published story in it's re-
port of the incident that one OF its
artists assigned to that job had
been assaulted, his camera
smashed and his appearance per-
ceptibly damaged. The manage
ment of the paper in question
offered hundred dollars reward
for information leading to the ar
rest and conviction of the persons
guilty of this outrage, but the prize
failed to unearth, discover, entrap
or expose the murderous assail-
ants. And the failure was in
evitable, for the reason that the
artist of the paper in question had
not been assaulted at Clayton, his
camera had not been smashed,
nor had any untoward fate of any
kind befallen him. At any rate,
the special political writer of that
paper is reported to have made a
statement to that effect in Jeffer-
son City during the pact week.

Some Things Seen at the Fair.

Last Saturday was Transporta-
ton Day at the Fair. 1t was esti-
mated that there were more than
1877, 1857 in attendance. Crowds
commenced to came early, and up
until 1 o'clock, when the gates were
clicking hundreds from the down
town districts. Again in the ev-
ening thousands were out to "Hike
the Pike" The very fact that
coupons were offered with every
ticket purchased, made hundreds
of people who had season tickets
wish they were not, so they might
have chance for some of the
prizes offered. Crowds surged up
and down the Pike holding high
carnival. Young boys and girls,
and older ones, had whisk brooms
and tiny feather busters, or great
long tickly topped straws, and
busted or Uickled your face, as they
fancied. Some had these long
curled up things that you blow and
out they shoot with an ugly swish,
/ in front of your eyes. College
boys would come dancing up be-
side you and half dozen or so
would join hands and jump round
and round, until they had your
party of four or six, all squeezed
| up into space enough for only one.
Then with a jolly laugh, they
were off like flash, sharing the
fun with another crowd.
Out in front of the Louisiana
monument Mask Parade was
held in the evening, and prizes Of
fered for the best costumes. Gay
butterflies and charming creatures
in filmy, gauzy apparel joined
hands with Indians bedaubed with

The Burning of the Sloeum.

Out upon the blue waters of Long Island
Sound,
Like gem of the white-caps, the Slocum
was bound,
Where whispering breezes chase wavelet
and spray,
So stately and grand on one bright summer
day.
There was music which waited fits soft mystic
strains
O'er the cabin and deck with enchanting
refrains;
The laugh and the romp and the boats
heaving bound,
Danced o'er the calm waters of Long Island
Sound.
Amidst life's dearest pleasures, on land or
on sea,
All alone, or with loved ones, some evil
may be;
While hearts, light and mirthful, did pleas
ure inspire,
Rang out DER the waters, "The boat is on
fre!"
For an instant the throng seemed as palsied
with fear
Then confusion did reign from the fore to
the rear
All on that lone vessel were frenzied with
fright;
The uproar did sound like storm in the
night!
In moment the craft was one scene of de-
spair!
And the shrieks of the whistles and screams
rent the air!
80, the boat is on 6re o God save my
chld!"
The wall of fond mothers, now frantic and
wild.
Out upon the doomed watchers flashed the
fires mad breath,
And the mnrmuring breezes famed flames
hot with deathi
Deep groans from the fated mass 'palled
listening ear,
The pleading for help, when no rescue was
near.
Lurid flames wrapt the bodies of all in their
sweep,
While hundreds sought death in the abyss
of the deep!
Dense smoke from the burning boat spread
a.wide and high,
And veiled the dread scene from the face Of
the sky!
o the sights of this horror can meier be de-
scribed.
The heart throbs with pity for the hundreds
that died.
We weep with their loved ones in anguish
and pain,
And pray that the like may meier happen
again.

Watch for a Chill,

However slight at this time of
year and in this climate, it is the
forerunnner of malaria. A dispo-
sition to yawn, and an all tired
out feeling even comes before the
chill. Herbine, by its prompt
stimulative action on the liver,
drives the malarial germs out of
the system, purifies the blood,
to~es up the system and restores

Roosevelt Weak in New York.

The starting point of Theodore
Roosevelt's s career as President was
his election as Governor in 1898.
If it had not been for that event he
would not have been thought OF
for e-President.
In further confirmation of what
the World has said as to Mr.. Roose-
velt's weakness in his own State,
it is instructive to look at the Re-
publican pluaslities in the years
Immediately preceding and fol-
lowing his election as Governor:
1894-Morton for Governor, 1885,
30S.
1s95-Secretary of State, 9O,246.
1S96-McKinley for President,
1853, 1853.
1S9S-Roosevelt for Governor,
1875.
19OO-Odell for Governor, Ill.,
1926.
The average Republican plur-
atty in these five elections was
nearly 10000. Mr.. Roosevelt's
plurality was less than $4,000,
though he ran in the year of the
Spanish war with the story OF his
undoubted gallantry in Cuba fresh
in the public mind. Yet, though
the people admired his courage,
they did not like his temperament
nor trust his discretion in an ex-
ecutive office. The voters in this
city, in particular, had not for
gotten his crusade as police COM
missioner against the personal
rights and liberty of citizens and
his oppressive and discriminating
enforcement of the Sunday and
excise laws.
So unpopular was Mr.. Roosevelt
that he would have been defeated
but for "Boss" Crocker's stupie
blunder in refusing a re-nomina
tion to Judge DAILY on the grount
that the Judge chad not giver
Tammany proper consideration.
I
Outraged by this brutal edict 0
the boss, the most eminent Demo
cratic lawyers in the city organ
lied and vigorously conducted
campaign for free and independ
ent judiciary. Hundreds of Inde
pendent voters, disgusted with th
domination of Croker, voted tn
whole Republican ticket. And ye
with all this adventitious aid, MI
Roosevelt's plurality was SO small
that a change Of fewer than 900
: votes would have defeated him.
That Mr.. Roosevelt knew AM
was honest enough to acknowledg
the cause of his election wa
proved by the statement which h
gave out after learning the result

government will not interfere in any way
with the custom so long in existence OF
semi monthly payment to employees
"It is not the intention of the new law

said Mr.. Tracewell to Star reporter. The
only object of the law was to make the
payments throughout the government serv-
ice uniform in all departments and bureaus.
Up to this time there has been a variety
of schedules. The object of the law Is to
have the yearly payments divided into
twelve equal parts. / do not have anything
to do with the disbursements of the dis
bursting officers, however, as to the details
of the payments, but l have not the least
idea that the new regulations will change
the manner of paying employees twice each

be In the amounts the employees will re-
ceive on the 1st and 18th of each month.
The amounts now and after July l will
differ to some extent. No, / am confident
there will not be the least change in the

THE RED CROSS.
Name of Candidate for President Not
Disclosed.

O15C1OS6Qs
Former Secretary Olney and Mr.. John w.
Foster are keeping as deep secret the
name Of the candidate for president of the
American Red Cross Society, which they
are supposed to have agreed upon for the
temporary organization which Is to control
the society until after Congress meets and
enacts a new charter for the permanent
organization.
Among the remonstrants there Is consid-
erable sentiment in favor of having man
named as president of the society, they
declare that abroad the Red Cross organ
izations are generally under the direction
of men. and are regarded just as are other
great business and financial institutions.
In agreeing upon temporary organiza-
ton Messrs. Olney and Foster have been
under the limitations Of the present charter
of the society. The charter proposed for
the consideration of Congress next winter
provides for eighteen members of the board
of trustees, but at present the number Of
trustees Is limited by tho charter to twelve,
and that will be the number to be elected
at the next meeting of the society, to be
held June 49,
The transfer of lots in the Kalorama
Heights subdivision by Miss Clara Barton
to trustees for the benefit of the Red Cross
is said to be the first record showing that
those lots belong to the society. It is
said that, SO far as the record as con-
cerned, had the estate Of Miss Barton been
e subject for settlement before that trans
fer the lots involved would have passed to
her legal heirs.
