Millions OF men voted that which was right

10 MCDILL'S MUSINGS.

The election is over. Everybody except
Roosevelt and Tom Kelly is surprised.
No one has accused the President of lack
of self-es.eem and self confidence; therefore,
he expected solid Nor and rip IN the solid
South. Tom Kelly knew that any mau on
Republican ticket, in Kansas, is sure OF cleo
ton, All a man needs in Kansas, for office, is
a nomination, provided he calls b,mse't Re
publican. Embezzement is mild pastime 'oI

scratched or bolted.
Poor old Kansas! which has not enough OF
honest MEN to fill her offices! Contrast Kansas
with Missouri.

publican. An ignoble and contemplate answer
to an earnest appeal for honorable, clean men!
Missouri covered herself all over with honor
in the election. Missouri has declared for an
honest government, by honest men, for honest
people, Kansas leans to a government of
boodlers, for boodlers, and the Devil take the
people.
The man who can forecast the future policy
of Roosevelt will have to have lived somewhere
else than in weed patch. Roosevelt may put
up strenuous fight on the grafters, boodlers
and mergers, and he may not. If he fights be
has longer battle and moIe extended battle
field than he can cover in four.years term Of
office. 1t is fight of at least a generation.
Self-esteem and self.con6dence are good char
acteristics. La Toilette, of Wisconsin, and
Folk, Of Missouri, have those qualities, and
believe both men have enlisted for the war. If
Roosevelt has enlisted for the war, and means
to fight along the lines that La Toilette and
Folk have volunteered to fight, then the Presi-
dent will soon be without party machine, and
will have more bitter enemies in the home
camp than in the camp of the enemy.
There are boodlers and grafters in all parties,
where the parties have Office holders. A senti.
ment has grown up IN America that, in large
degree, in political circles, not only coudoned,
but sanctioned, boodling and grating. It was
''smart' to beat the government; smart to beat
the taxpayer, even though the tax was wiring
from people so poor as to be only able to main
tain tolerable existence smart" but down
in the lowest depths to which human nature
can descend. Theft, in appropriating auother's
money, and dishouorable in betraying trust!
There are degrees in the Nervousness OF crime.
The most heinous OF all thefts is the stealing
of the peoples money and the deepest, black
est treachery is the betrayal of sacred trust.
At the recent election, Folk and President
Roosevelt ran close together in Missouri. Folk
had the Democratic machine against him.
La Toilette had to fight the king of boodlers,
in Wisconsin, and had the opposition of the
Democratic party, but won out, close up to
Roosevelt. There was real war in COLORADO.
The Cossack chief of Russianized America was
whipped after one of the most bitterly-contested
campaigns Of American history. Four million
dollars of slush fund was sent to Peabody
from New York city alone, by the anti-union-
labor crowd. But the people of Colorado are
still tue to the old flag. There was not enough
money to corrupt nor enough bulldozers to in
timidate majority OF Colorado voters into
surrender of the rights of American citizens to
gang of boodlers who employed Russian
methods in stamping out opposition to high
handed outrsges.
Peabody is the latest product of predatory
wealth, and it is claimed that to the woman

New York, July 1.-THE cotton
market opened firm at an advance OF
to points in response to bullish
cables, particularly those referring to
spot cotton, sales of which there
were reported of 10000 .bales at the
decline OF four English points. The
future market was higher than ex-
pected also, and while it was con-
sidered that weather over the South
was very favorable as a rule, there
was some talk of higher temperatures
doing damage in Texas. At first the
market here reflected the presence OF
the bearish sentiment concerning the
new crop positions. Southerners were
selling the late months and there
seemed to be little pressure from To-
cal sources. On the other hand Liv-
erpool was buying and some of the
room trade seemed to be trying TO
uncover stop orders. At any rate
prices worked upward gradually with
reports irregalating to the probability
of further exports from the New
York stock in the near future, 1T being
stated in this connection that foreign
houses were buying August and en-
gaging freight room for shipment to
Liverpool during the first half of
September with the intention evident
ly OF taking cotton upon contract.
This led to covering of the near po-
sitions and just before the close trad
ing, which had been rather quiet all
day became more active with New
Orleans brokers good buyers all along
the line. July advanced to 1920
closing at IL cents bid. August
reached IL cents on sales, while Sep
tember led in the advance by selling
up to 1908. The market closed firm
ut practically the top prices of the day,
a net advance of II to 26 points.
Sales were estimated at 100000
Hales. 1t was reported that new crop
otton was being offered in very small
lots from San Antonio. On the other
hand a private cable stated that 2,000
bales had been burned at Burnly, in
the Lancashire district. Exports for
the day were a little over 5000 bales,
largely from New York.
Receipts at the ports today 1853
