MR.. NIEORINeHAus.

We ~hould not call Mr.. Nledrlng-
haus a good representative of any
state. We could not do so without in
sul'ing the state. But he is very
good representative of the dominant
element in the Republican party in
Missouri and, to a lamentable extent.
the dominant element of the party
organization throughout the country.
He has drawn his wealth from the
common people by means of the in
iquitous tariff tax on foreign compe i
ton in ware of general use, practical
ly indispensable. He mas been a per-
sistent and greedy advocate of the
legislation that has thus made him
rich. BY his conduct he has shown
that he regards legislation as a means
for personal advantage at the expense
of the public and he has joined hand.
with the great band of tariff favori,es
at every stage to prevent the loolen-
ing of the bonds imposed on Ameri-
can industry and to increase the prof
lis Of the special interests.

His accounting wa defective and
false He did not report sums which

gate his conduct he explained that he
tapt no separate account Of the par
ty trust fund, that he pu: what he col
lectel in'o his own bank account and
paid what he did pay by his own
check. His theory of subordinaiing
public action to his own advan age he
applied to party action as we'll. The

vas q scandal. II was scandalous that
both houses of the Missouri legisla
lure, voting separately. should have
given him a majority. 1t was con-
inuanee of the scandal that the
bolt" of eight RN1ublicand which
prevented the election of Mr.. Med
ringhaus on the joint ballot was caus-
cd not by moral repugnance to him
and his practices. but by the com
mands or the intrigues of that other
mOralist of the Republi-
can party in Missouri. the Hon. X. c.
Kerens. The joint ballots have failed
to end the deadlock Mr. Kerens may
win. II is highly improbable that the
of Missouri will give the
election to Senator Cockrell
But il is something to be rid of

THE WAYFARER.

He has trayersed life's up and down;
Again at home he's stranded.
He is battered wreck and blown,
In the old harbor landed.
He letters by the village store
The same old crowd is waiting,
But he's a stranger at he door
All, memory is belating.
He wanders to the rustic seat
Beneath the carven benches:
Strange children in the old retreat
Fly him and his strange speeches.
All he's stranger, and uncouth,
And they are stranger TO him,
Long years have passed since he
forsooth
Trod in the paths that knew him.
Along the muddy road his feet
Trudge on beside the meadows;
Behind him from each old retreat
Come voices from the shadows.
He stands alone there in the light
Upon the hill top streaming,
He whispers softly: "All, good
night"
Then passes on-still dreaming.

4 Mavors McCarthy's Veto

From the information that has so far
been voucllsafed to the public the Board
OF Aldermen will not add to their prestige
or in any way detract from the reputation
OF Mayor Mccarthy by its recent action
IN overriding his veto Of the thinner
mann ordinance. The Mayor, with coll-
Wheeling force, to the mind OF the layman,
assigns a number Of reasons for refusing
to concur in the ORDINANCE as offered
fIt points out tllat no provision Is made
, for any examination Of the pay rolls;
that as The pay Is fixed by ordinance
the pay rolls should be checked and
audited with equal fornlality; that 1t Is
neither busincss.llkc nor5jwise to allow q
small minority Of a commlttce to per-5
form so important q IL FUNCTION as the
disbursement OF the money Involved IN
the city pay roll. The Mayor also points
out that III every ca Sc Of municipal COR
ruption the most ready and useful method
has been IN padded pay rolls. and nat nat
for Rlcllnonl the my rolls constitute
onc-quarter OF the entire budget, IN
conclusion the Mayor soys:3s9
SAT the risk OF being tedious and Of
treating this subject at long range, ~
must also express my disapproXal9 or any
departure from the established principle
Of majority rule. II tho head Of each de-
partmcnt should be made directly re-
sponsble for the payroll, with subsequent
careful audit in the propc, repdlt!', ny.
thus might be admissible, bur II the ST.
pcrvislon Of pay rolls is to continue IN the
committee, then tlat rule, the wisdom Of
whlch IS established By universal custom
in all civilized governments, should pre-
vail and only majority OF the commit
tee should make any final decision Of any
question to be determined BY committee
action"
We submit that to the citizen who has
not followed he debates IN the Board
OF Aldermen, these arguments arc neon
trovortblc. and If Richmond does not
have serious trouble in, the future from
this ordinance it will be in direct con-
tradlctlon of the experience OF other
cities.
