PARTY DUTY.

The Globe-Democrat's comments on the occur
rences at the Democratic primaries are entirely char
acterstic 1t appeals to Democrats to come over TO
the Republican party, which, it would have them
suppose, permits neither lawlessness disorder IN
its camp. But the sensible Democrat who wants a
genuine reform in campaign methods will do nothing
Of the sort. True reform is never accomplished by
the afflicted citizen jumping from the frying pan
into the fire.
What st. Louis needs is the kind of reform that
will purify politics and that never comes by voters
swinging back and forth from one party to another
in vain and futile effort to cripple the power of
machine boss by strengthening that of another.
The sort of reform this city requires is that
ageous citizens can effect by working within the
party lines and driving the party boss out Of power
The evils of st. Louis politics are not confined tG
any party, and the columns Of the Globe-Demo-
crat give daily proof of the signal truth OF this vital
fact. Nothing is responsible for the political
abuses which curse this community than the too
prevalent sentiment that anything done in the sup
posed interest of ones political party Is right
and everything done by the opposing party is
wrong. Silence about the most grievous sins COM
mitted by party friends and -vituperation for the
slightest ndiscretions Of political opponents
varying characteristics of the Globes editorial page
There is basis for supposing the party Is any bet
ter than its organ, and no Democrat need look for
relief from the rowdyism and rufianism of partisan
politics in the fold of the Republican party Of Mis-
souri,
Good citizens who desire to proceed intelligently
will do within their party lines and see that un-
worthy leaders put in the background They can
not afford to surrender party control to hoodlums
and neglect their civic duties because the exer-
else of civic rights has become uncomfortable.
Nothing would please the hoodIums better for this
would make the reign Of disorder complete. The
good citizen must hold his ground and drive the
hoodlumy out instead of letting the hoodlum drive
him out When those who favor law, and order. and
decency willing to stand firmly for IT within
their party lines; when they resolute in main
tanning their party standing yet earnest and fearless
in denunciation of leaders who bring the party into
disgrace, the prospect of genuine reform WILL be
vastly brighter.

GREAT ST. LOUIS.

March has but to go out, like n lion. probably,
and April to drop Its showers upon us, when May
will beam the announcement of the Fair Forty-fve
days, and the Fair will open.
The Fair itself stands ready and the exhibits are
crowdIng In by trainloads. A great and increasing
force is installing them. The Fair already begins
to i've to look like fair to realize, indeed to
exceed, the dreams Of its makers and the vision of
promise impaired to the worlds mind.
The atmosphere of the Fair Is already about u.s.
We feel it In hotels cafes theaters: in social and
business life. The town is full of Legations" COM

culture, breeding and manners; the aristocracy of
power, of brains, of merit, of achievement, wealth

America is mentioned, to be distinguished out of all
American cities. 49,. .............
Great st. Louis dates from now. Potential great
ness dates back to the moment of the orgination Of
the Worlds Fair idea. In the interim the meta
morphosis has taken place which threw Off the old
guise of big town almost hidden in the, country's
deep interior and clothed 1t with splendor and ex

means American civilization; the greatness of the
Oecident, the strength, the progressveness spirit

the light of the world in upon the tremendous power
