didate for the United States Senator
ship, to succeed Francis Marion Cock
Tell, ends a contest which excited great
er national interest than is usually the
case. Several features of the party
fight for the nomination attracted at
tention. but none more so than the ag-
eressiveness OF the young blood in
eontending with the leaders who have
spent their lives lin the now successful
attempt TO win Missouri to the Repub-
lican column.
The man who was for years the fore
most Republican in the Show-Afe State.
Col. Richard c. Kerens, has met with
defeat at the first chance he had of be-
coming a United States Senator Like
Cockrell, he is veteran of political
battles. but in the long term of Cock

the losing side. With a Republican Leg

Mr. Stidham 10 the Rescue

The new Superintendent OF Street
Cleaning, Harrison Stidham, has q
great opportunity If he can clean
Washington streets and keep them
clean his reputation Will spread like
Colonel Warnings.
Half-cleaned asphalt has been our
portion for so long that the citizen.
like the Congressman, thanks his
stars for the street and forgets about
the dirt This may be due to several
causes, but it is probably due TO one
OF two-an inadequate money allow
ance for the work or an inadequate
organization of the force which does
the work. The Times does not know
which While Congress, has appro-
priated more and more money year
by year. the space 10 be cleaned has
grown year by year On the other
hand, there are many evidences of
loose organization il the present
force and unmistakable signs OF poor
work.
If the new superintendent can de-
ploy his workmen. SO as to cover the
greatest amount of street surface and
cover it well he viii have developed
to the satisfaction of everyone can-
cerned the true state of affairs. He
viii also have proven his own capacity
for organization, and if there then
be need for more men the Com
missioners VIII be, of q mind to ask
for them and Congress inclined to
grant them
In the meantime, Washington will
do well to reflect on its apparent loss
OF caste One foreign observer has
characterized it as mot so nice and
