The indignation of the Wall Street
Journal toward Mr.. Edward M. Shep-
ard. because that distinguished gentle
man intimated that Mr.. Cortelyou was
utilizing the information he obtained

to get big campaign contributions.
seems to be directed at the wrong
source. The New York Sun is respon-
sible for the original suggestion that
Mr.. Cortelyou would use official posi-
ton to "fry fat" out of great corpor-
ations. That was in July before Mr..
j. Pierpont Morgan and the Sun de-
cided to support Mr.. Roosevelt and
before the firm of j. Pierpont Morgan
& Co., had been made by Roosevelt
fiscal agent for Panama. In its issue
of July goth. the Sun announced that
if reelected Mr.. Roosevelt would ap-
point Mr.. Cortelyou as Postmaster
General. and under the headlines Mr..
Cortelyou and His Frying Pan" the
Sun said:
cit is not for nothing that he (Cor-
telyou) 50 to be Postmaster General
under Mr.. Roosevelt's new administra-
ton. There is not a railroad in the
country that can regard the PoStmas-
ter General with Indifference. The
most valuable and most jealousy
guarded contracts that the railroads
nave are the contracts for carrying
the United States mails, and about
those contracts Mr.. Postmaster Gen

that there never was a more scandal
Gus abuse of power or more unprln-
cipled defiance of decent public opln-
ion than was this transfer of an off,
cial investigator and curber of great
corporations to be a collector of par
tisan campaign funds from them"
The Suns CHARGE and the charge OF
the Times and World differ not at all
| in the moral aspect. They agree that
the administration is depending for its
campaign fund upon holding up men
who are to get favors at the hands of
Roosevelt & Co., If they win. The
| fact that three such papers printed
this story in good faith shows to what
low depth Republicans have sunk
in their corrupt campaign.

The Southern newspapers that are
trying to explain that President RooSe-
Welt didn't mean what he said about
Southern peoples brutality and
coarseness and the anarchistic spirit
of the Confederate soldiers, have need
for all their ingenuity. And they
never quote the exact language of the
President when they try to put bet
ter face on it than the language en-
ployed will permit.

Separation Good For Both.
PRESBYTERIAN Standard.

Jim Crow Episcopacy' is what
negro labels the movement to have
Negro Bishops in the Episcopal
church. When the negroes learn that
to want to stay where they are not
wanted is the first proof that they
ought not to stay, and that it is this
habit that is largely responsible for
the Jim Grow Churches and trains
too, the separation of the races on the
right basis will have less of contempt
on the part of the one race and of
protest on the part of the other. But
the separation is something that must
be for the good of both.

The New York Sun and New York
Tribune expressed themselves just as
confidently in 1884 that the Democrats
would be defeated as they are doing
today. Their stories Of Democratic
trouble in the doubtful States printed
in 1904 are almost exactly the same
stories printed by both papers in 1884
and by the Tribune in 1892, the chief
change being merely in the names
given. Nobody ought to be misled by
these two papers. particularly the

In addition to the beautiful figure by
Miss Carrie Wood that crowns the
dome, there are several other fine
pieces Of sculpture among the adorn-
ments Of the building. At the east |
and west entrances are rare old Mis-
SUuri bears, such as exist nowhere but
on the Missouri coat-of-arms. Flank
ing the main entrance are seated
figures OF Napoleon aud Jefferson. the
one by Gelert and the other by Fraser.
The tympanum decoration of the two
end pedlments is the seal of the state
10 bas relief.
If the exterior of the building is
handsome, the interior ia nothing less
than gorgeous. No expense has been
been spared in making it a perfect
palace of beauty. Tne hangings of
the corridors are of crimson velvet en-
broidered with gold, and the carpets
and furnishings are OF the richest and
best that money could buy. The wood
work of the lower floor is OF satin
walnut and that of he upper floor is
sweet gum, with mahogany finish, and
both are from the forests of Missouri.
The daintiest rooms IN the building
are the three that are set apart for the
ladies. The center or reception room
IS furnished in gray, pale blue and
gold, with piano in white enamel. At
oHe end is the japanese tea room and
at the other end is the rest room, done
In taffets effects. Across the corridor
are the thee apartments for the gen.
tIemen. These are decorated in rich
red, ana the smoking room has a
charming Dutch frieze and splendid
collection OF pipes and stems.
The soffit, or under side, OF the
dome is decorated with a circular
fresco painting giving, in luminous
color, an outline OF the states history.
The painting IS by F. LUIS Mora, one
of Americas leading decorative
artists. In the Governors reception
room is handsome panel by the same
artist. The building and its furnish
lngs cost $500, 900 aud 1t certainly is
one Of which the state may be proud.
