Judge Parker's speech of accept
ance is notable mostly for its ef-
fort to make no one angry. The
only thing that he is at all positive
about is that the gold standard is
irrevocably established. Having
made gold-bugs out of all the sill
yer Democrats with bis famous
telegram, he feels he can be lit
tie concise on this one point. AL
though the Democratic platform
called. the Republican protective
tariff robbery Of the many for the
benefit Of a few, Judge Parker
does not stand on this plank flat
footed, but merely suggests that
the tariff would be better for lit
tie Topping off here and there for
the benefit of the foreign produc-
er. While he comes it a little
more strong upon the proposition
of a government conducted on
strictly constitutional lines, the
Judge did not dilate upon that por-
ton of the constitution which lays

The New York World and its
St. Louis satellite, the Post Dis
patch, have started out to make
Parker president OH tho lines OF
yellow journalism. These papers
have adopted the policy of exng.
9eration and misrepresentation OF
the conduct of the present admin
istration. Everything that Presi-
dent Roosevelt does or says is seiz-
ed upon and drawn for the public
in broad yellow lines ns an cvi-
dence of his ''nnsnfeness" as the
head Of the nation. Before their
plutocratic bosses gavo the World
and Post their instructions CON
corning their party policy, they
frequently had good word for
President Roosevelt and his efforts
in behalf Of tho people. The
President has not changed and will
not. He was safe before and is
now, both In the policy Of his pub
lie conduct and in another four
years in the White House.

BY the death of ex-senator Geo.
G. Vest Missouri loses one Of her
most conspicuous public figures and
one Of whom there is much being
said in eulogy Of his character and
conduct as Il public man, much OF
which is, beyond doubt, fairly
deserved. He was man of great
Intellect whose misfortune it had
been during all the years of his
public life to use that intellect and
the strong force of his person
ality in ncgation of the best inter
ests Of the country. But for the
fact that George Graham Vest had
lived in Missouri and aligned
himself with the Bourbon Demo
cracy throughout his public career
the possibilities are that he would
have made for himself even u high
cr place in the history of his coun
try and the hearts of his peol lie
than he now holds. One of tho
earliest acts of Vests public life is
convincing proof that if he had
cast his fortunes in Republican
state instead Of Missouri, he would
have became n Republican, and as
such no gift of the people would
huve been beyond his reach nor his
mind cramped and held in bounds
by the policy of party that re-
fused to allow it full scope. The
incident to which we allude was
his defense of the rights of q negro
back in the ante bellum days, when
the young Vest first came into pub
lie notice, an aot which really won
for him this notice. 1t is difficult
TO believe that Vest with his great
did not often feel II
regret at having to place himself
in an attitude of continued opposi-
ion to policies that were unmis-
takably correct in principle and
lnshaken in the test of application
rs laws relating to the welfare and
progress of his country.

Missouri In Congress.

The wide awake Republicans of
St. Francois county remark in the
course Of the timely and pointed
resolutions adopted at their con-
vention: 1--WE arc proud that our
nominees for both national and
state offices are men who need
from us no apologies and for whom
we need not blush" st. Francois
is one of the live, growing coun-
ties, industrially and otherwise.
A dozen years ago it was Demo-
cratic by nearly 2 to I, but in 1902
the majority was reduced to less
than 800. Four years ago the
2700 Democrats of the county vot-
ed for free silver. Now they are
expected to come up just as solidly
for Parker, who added to a silent
platform his own financial plank
that the gold standard is "firmly
and irrevocably established" On
the state ticket are Cook and AL
leu. The opening for Democratic
apologies in Missouri is amazingly
large.
Another resolution of the St.
Francois Republicans favors real
representation In Congress Gin
place Of automatons for the distri-
button of garden seeds" 1t would
certainly pay the state to take a
positive part in national legisla-
tion. Fifteen of the sixteen repre-
sentatives of Missouri in Congress
are Democrats. Republicans, who
compose nearly half the popula-
tion of the state, are crookedly de-
prived of all but one member.
They pay their full share Of taxes,
but are buncoed out of at least six
members Of Congress. The state,
of course, is generally injured by
such schemes. Its bunch Of fifteen
Democrats in the House follow the
leadership of Mr.. Williams of
Mississippi, and are always on the
losing side. Fifteen pullbacks,
perpetually in the minority, is a
tough infliction on the state. The
St. Francois district can do some
thing handsome for itself by elect
ing Mr.. Rhodes, the Republican
candidate for Congress.-Globe-
Democrat.

There is every indication that
the campaign In this county next
fall will be but counterpart of
those of preceding elections, with
perhaps greater exeesses in the use
Of Doodle and booze than previous
ly because Of the desperation of
the Missouri ringsters to hold con-
troll Of the state government for
another four years. Washington
county is regarded as one of the
close counties by the Democratic
state committee and as being pos
sessed Of Il corruptible vote suffi-
cient TO change the result with the
free use Of Doodle. The Demo-
cratic state committee, it is alleged,
has promised its friends here sew
eral thousand dollars for the COR
ruptlon Of the voters. And yet
they are running man at the head
Of the Democratic ticket who pirates
Of civic righteousness and purity of
the ballot. If Folk is as decent in
his politics as he pretends to be he
would refuse to run upon the same
ticket with a gang that feels no
eompunction whatever in going
out with a wad Of Doodle and buy
ing itself another lease Of power.
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1904-08-17

Senator Stone, in letter to the
Kansas City Star, in correction Of
certain statements made by that pa
per, declares that Folk wanted Cook
and Allen nominated on the Demo
cratic ticket, and months before
the state convention he approached
them with the proposition that they
should all work together for each
others nomination. Stone fully
exposes the two-faced policy of
Folk, and that while the circuit at
torney was fighting boodlers as the
stepping stone to the governorship
he was also contemplating COM
bination with the corrupt state ma
chine to the same end.

Delegates to a convention may
he fooled i'll making platform
and naming candidates, but II,
party has ever yet succeeded ii
fooling the voters at the ballot box.
| Mr.. Belmont, an authority on
racing matters, says that the Pres
i!entlal race is very much like Il
Derby. 1t may from the stand
point of Mr.. Belmont, but the Re-
publicans contend that Il Presiden-
tial race is run for principle
rather than money prize.
The American voter can read the
Republican tariff plank without
the aid of an interpreter.
Democracy's chances might be
better if there was four year lim-
it on memory.
President Roosevelt has not
found it necessary to explain any
differences of opinion between him
self and his party as expressed in
the platform declarations.
A plea for change will fall on
deaf ears if the voter remembers
that the Unitod States has made
remarkable advance in all material
interests in the last four years.
1t will be little awkward for
Democratic orators to explain that
they not only support the party
platform, but also the private
views of the candidates us express
ed in kilograms and confidential
letters.
1t is in the line Of good citizen
ship to vote right. Protection and
sound money are right because
they mean continued progress and
prosperity for all the people.
Conceding that Judge Parker is
now sound on the money question,
ho is handicapped by Il party one
half the membership of which is
still loyal to silver and would try
to reestablish it in the currency
system in case of Democratic sue
cess.
"Roosevelt marched up Kettle
hill and then marched down again"

True, but he marched down on the |
other side driving the enemies of
his country's flag ahead Of him and
of of the American continent.

formers assert that tariff is Il rob !

berry, Can it he ii robbery oI
any one to secure To the people GI
this country the opportunity to
supply our natural wants by the
hands of our countrymcn! That
is all :hat the tariff can secure.
i Whenever there has been free
trade, or Il ''tariif for revenue
only" or there has been threat Of
either, with u probability that the
threat would be executed, we have
had widespread business depres-
sion. lack of confidence, lack of
credit, stoppagc of business, lack
of employment, bankruptcy, dis
order and ruin, with all their at
tendant evil consequences.
Free trade overestimates the
worth of things and undcrcstimates
the worth of man. 1t reaches for
the article but spurns the artisan.
1t is Il great plea the Democracy
puts up this year. They go before
the country saying the Republicans
have established the gold standard
SO firmly we could not change it if
we wanted to-and to come to
think of tive don't want to.
Under the magic touch Of pro-
lection knighthood has becu con-
ferred upon labor and the shackels
of tho slave have been forged into
pruning hooks. BY royal integrity
every obligation of the government
has been met and the golden pnr-
ity OF our currency has been muin-
iained through good report and
through evil report, and forced
unwelcomc endorsement from the
standard bearer of the opposition.
OF all the nations in the world,
the United States alone is self suf-
fcing. All that we need to do is
to stand steadfastIy where we are
and refuse to fritter our sdvantag-
es away. Free trade would de-
spoil Us Of our advantages.
The Democrats are apparently
an effort to conduct the
present campaign upon the person
nifty of The two opposing presiden
tial candidates and drawing veil
completely over party policies and
records. But suppose the person
ality Of tho candidates is the issue,
does not the character and conduct
Of Roosevelt far oatsbinc that of
