Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1904-09-29
DOES NOT EXPLAIN.

THE defeat of the Democracy
this year in Missouri would not be
a Republican victory. 1t would be
a Doodle triumph, for it would be
accomplished by Doodle votes. The
opposition candidates talk Of cor
ruption, when all they know is the
result of work of Democratic Off
cials. If the people of this State
had waited for these same candi-
dates to expose and prosecute
the corruptionists, they would
have waited until doOmsday, judg-
ing from their inactivity and pas
siveness when they had the OppOr-
tunity. With this record, is it
not somewhat presumptuous for
them to ask to be put into power
so they can stamp out corruption?
When they were on guard they
slept on their beats, while corrup-
tiOnists held carnival"
To this the MESSAGE calls at
tention to a page article published
by the st. Louis Post-Dispatch a
few weeks since giving the rec
ord of Col. Walbridge, in the
House of Delegates, the Council
and the Mayors Office of st. Louis.
The Post Dispatch says that the
records show that the present Re
publican candidate for governor,
during his entire official career in
st. Louis, not only failed to OPP
pose, denounce or expose the boo
die combines and machine gangs
which were plundering the city,
but actually worked with them.
They show that as mayor he sur
rounded himself with henchmen,
some of whom were of the most
character aud malodOr-
Gus reputation; that he helped his
friends to get municipal contracts
detrimental to the city's interests
and advantageous to their own;
that he devoted his time to build
ing up personal and party ma
chine of an obnoxious type; that
in the council he helped them
jam thru, against public protests,
the Ed Buffers garbage contract
grab, from the evil effects of
which the city has suffered to the
present day. The P.-D. remarks
that this was the beginning of a
friendship between Walbridge
and Butler.
Well, as Mr.. Folk says, with
this record is it not a little pre-
for Mr.. Walbridge to
ask to be putin the Governors
chair of Missouri
Mr.. Walbridge is a nice man
personally and can make quite a
scholarly speech, but these things
DO not make him fit timber for
Governor. He does not explain
the above charges. In his speech
in Mexico last week he denied that
there was any alliance between
and the corrupt element of
the State, "either direct, indirect or
secret" AS far as we heard the
speech that is all the explaining
he had.
1t would be interesting to hear
the Chicago Record-Herald com,
ment ON how Walbridge explains.
The Record Herald is Repub-
lican paper and thinks Walbridge's
invites the corrupt ele-
ment vote, especially in st. Louis,
and Walbridge will get that vote,
too.
We believe the Record Herald is
right, and that Mr.. Walbridge is
wise, in the interests OF his own
candidacy, not to try to explain
some things.

MANv1LLE WILL SUSTAINED.

MAN V LILLE WILL 0O61<alR ELI.
 Judge Shumway of the superior court yesterday handed down a decision in the case of Frederick l.. Manville's ap- peal from probate which was tried be- fore him several weeks ago. The ap- oesl was from the action of the pro- bate court. which admitted to probate the will of the late Mary F. Manville, mother of the appellant. She left an estate of about s3,000 and bequeathed all of it except s5 to her daughter, Mrs. William Frost. The s5 was bequeathed to the son, who took an appeal alleging mental incapacity and undue influence. Judge Shumway dismissed the appeal.
 Judge Shumway overrules demurrer filed by defendant in the case of A. Nell son Miles of Philadelphia against Charles H. Trowbridge. This case re- lates to the. affairs of the Elm City company, which went into insolvency in 1876. Former Tax Collector Theodore A, Futile was trustee of the company up to the time of his death and was suc- ceeded by MT. Trowbridge.
 Demurrer having been overruled the case will now be tried on the main question.

 Demurrer Case of Miles ys. TFow-
 brtdSe-DcctsioDs in Bennett Will
 Case Handed Down Yesterday In su-
 pertor Court.
 In two decisions handed down yester- day Judge Thayer of the superior court sustains counsel for William J. Bryan in the legal contentious growing out of the refusal of the probate court to ad- init to probate as a part of the will Of the late P. S. Bennett. the sealed letter giving $50,000 to Mir. Bryan. The first decision sustains a demurrer entered by counsel for MT. Bryan to a plea in abatement filed by counsel for Mrs. Bennett. wife of the testator, from MT. Bryans appeal from the probate courts s decision. The decision says in part:
 "The appellant appeals not only from the decision disallowing probate to the scale envelope letter and typewriter document. but also from the decree all lowing probate to the other document, which is claimed by the appellee to be the entire will. The appeal is an at tempt to bring the matter of probating the will so far as it is in dispute as pro1ounded from the probate court to this court.
 .'The decree as passed in the probate court stands unvacated pending this appeal. The probate court. therefore, was bound to permit the appellant to qualify as executor or to appoint him an administrator with the will annexed. 'The situation was a peculiar one. The probate court, knowing all the facts, permitted him to qualify as exec utor and afterwards allowed his appeal

without requiring him to resign the ex- ecu.orship. The probating of a will is in its nature a proceeding in rem. The estate is to be distributed whether by the executor or by an administrator ae- eording to the terms of the will as final ly established. If the appellant by his conduct has estopped himself from pros ecuting this appeal or is holding incon- sistent positions as respects the will or it's probate, advantage can be taken of it by later pleading or motion. There is no such inconsistency in his position to this appeal.
 'sThe demurrer to the plea in abate- ment is sustained"
 The other decision overruies a mo- tion of counsel for Mrs. Bennett and other heirs to expunge.
 The decision says:
 .The fact that the papers referred to in paragraph of the motion to expunge were excluded from probate court is a fact not appearing in the complaint or answer but is a fact before the court in another case pending therein as is also the fact that an appeal has been taken from the decree of the probate court re- ferred to.
 The answer in this case. as well as that of the will of Mir. Bennett asks a determination of the question whether the papers referred to are testamentary papers constituting part of that will or declaration of the trust in the 18th clause thereof. To obtain such con- struction is a simple matter in case where all parties concur in asking such a construction. When they do not concur the question ought not to be disposed of upon motion to expunge and olees in abatement when they be otherwise fairly raised as in this case by subsequently pleadings.
 "The motion to expunge is therefore overruled."
