Protect Missouris Birds.

1t is to be hoped that the PIES
cnt session of the State Legislature
will not be permitted to expire
without the passage of III adequate
law for the protection of Missouri
game and song birds.
The Audubon Society worked
hard at the last session for the
passage of such law. and had the
support of the best public opinion.
1t is believed that the measure pro,
posed at that session WAS defeated
by the Influence of persons inter
ested in the maintenance of unlim-
tied license for the destruction Of
wild life.
The condition with regard to
game protection in Missouri is de-
plorabla. Her song and game
birds and other wild life are com
pIeteIy at the mercy Of the market
hunter, the trapper and the dyna-
miter who may be expected to
wipe ont what little is left of tn G
useful and beautiful creatures of
the woods and streams, unless a
law, with sufficient penalty, is Ell
acted for protection.
| Gov. DocIery's request for such
protection, in special message tc
the General Assembly, together
with the pleadings of thousands OF
citizens, has been ignored. 1t is
time to make public sentiment eff
fective in this matter. The state
should be placed in line with other
enlightened communities which
have laws to prevent the extermi
netion of song and game birds. -

maker, to take some action TO-
wards making school hooks cheap

cratic legislature during the ad-
mini>tra,ion Of Governor Stephens
that fastened the present text book
law upon the state. Senator stone
we believe. WAS at ,ha: time an &c
tive ament fer the book trust and
used his influence to have the law
passed. II hats been said, with
small reason to doubt The truth of
the allie cation. that the book trust
WAS ii heavy contributor III formc!
years to the Democratic campaiyn
funds. II hat the o'ltgulng GOV
ernor mas thus frankly acknowIcdg-
ed in this respect is nothing new
to the people Of Missouri except
ing the source from which ii comes.
Ever since the text book law went
into effect the Rcpuh!ican papers
have pointed out that it was law
IN the interest Of Il monopoly and
that the people were being bled by
it. The Democrats have all along
ignored the question, although 1t
was seen that the people were
grooming under the imposition
that had been placed upon them.
Governor Dockery had two scs-
sicns of the legislature durlng his
administration that he might have
recommended to repeal the text
book law and pass Il better one.
but instead of doing SO he waits
uniil he sees a legislature assemble
that is pledged TO repeal the law,
and then comes forward to point
out the necessity of its repeal.
Dockery winkcd at the text book
law too long for The good of the
Democratic party. This is only
another instance, however, of how
the Democrats finally come around
with an acknowledgement of tie
Republican charges against the
Democratic management Of the
states affairs. We may even be
Gin soon to look for IN admis sion
of those discrepancies in the state

The Weather Breeder.

1.-The weather breeder" is a
fine day that is supposed to fore
show bad weather. Like all
''signs," it is unscienti6c. AS al!
the year is made up of fine wealth
er and bad weather, it follows that
fine days must alternate with
stormy days. The sign" folk ar
bitrariIv assume that the fine day
comes before the bad day, and
therefore the fine day "breeds'
the bad or stormy day. Pursuing
that kind of arbitrary assumption
it is just as reasonable to say that
as the fine day comes after 3
stormy day, the stormy day mus
be Il "breeder Of the following fnt
day. The whole sign" busines:

1t is reported that Congressman
elect Rhodes has given it out that
he will ALLOW the Republican pa

who they want for postmaster;
whoever receives the higeSt Mum
Der of voies he will endorse for the
position. But right on the an
nnnncemcnt of Mr.. Rhodes. comes
the uItima'un from the president
that he will not remove any of 'he
present poslmasters who are Civ
ing satisfaction. 1t is probable
that very few primaries will be
held throughout the district.
The above item has been going
the oun"5 of the press in the
Thirteenth congressional district
lately, and, so far as we have any
information on the subject. it is a
pure fabrication. At Il recent meet
inc of the Republican congression-
al committee Of this district. held
at bismarck, which was attended
by almost a full representation Of
the committee, as we'll rs by a
number of other leading Republic
cans, the question of the distribu
tonS Of federal patronage was act
ed upon by the committee at
the request of Congressman elect
NJ. +. Rhodes. The committee
adopted a resolution to the effect
that in the appointment of post
masters, the applicant must have
the endorsement a ma jority OF the
leading Republican patrons of the
office, majority of the committee
men of his county, and of the con
grcssionaI committeeman. having
all these the matter is then referred
to Mr.. Rhodes for his approval. We
have no reason to believe that there
will be any departure from this
method. This rule is to coyer only
such postoilices where the incnm
bent is appointed for a limited
term. The appointment of all
fonrth-clas postmasters is for Il
continuous term, on proper con
duct, at the discretion of the Fourtf
Assistant Postmastcr-G General.

Railroads CT Missouri.

Tne figures compiled hv Walter

ranks ninth among the states oi
The Union in railway mileage, u

1t is prohabIe that within a year
an electric line will unite St. JOS
eph and Kansas City. Alresd,
St. Charles and St. Louis are con
nccted by al electric road. The
Rock Island has given the state an
other through line Of steam rail
road between st. LoniS and Kan
sas City. In 1903 600 miles of
new track was constructed in Mis-
souri, and during 1904 the total is
probably even larger. The Santa
E'c has under the consideration an
extension of It's line from Carrcl-
ton to ST. Louis. Other railroads
are considering the planning of
extensions Of various kinds. With
in five years Missouri will have
easily 10, 900 or $4,000 miles of
railroad all adding to the value of
property and the comfort of liv-
ing. But two counties in Missouri
are now without railroads. Two
years ago there were twelve. The
new railroads in Missouri have
heretofore been constructed upon
more or less parallel lines east and
west.-kansas City Journal.

dominant party in the state. We
have every respect for Col. Il. {.
kerens, we believe he is honest in
his business methods and, presum-
ably so also in his political meth
od>, and had he been selected for
the Senatorship in the place of Mr..
Niedringhaus, he would have fill
ed the office in a manner creditable
to himself and the state. But the
trouble with Mr.. kerens was that,
whether well grounded or not,
many had conceived a prejudice
against him because his name had
been associated with the idea of
commercial politics. The dissent
nation of this notion, it is true,
was more through the Democratic
press than by any other cause, anC
Democratic papers have persist
emily asserted that the Republican
party of Missouri was solely upon
a commercial basis, and that it,
preferment was a purchasablt
commodity. Had Mr.. keren.
been selected for Senator every
Democratic paper in Missouri
would have laid his nomination tt
the alleged fact that boodleism wa,
the controlling element in bis selec
ton. With the Doodle scanda
of the Democratic party still fresl
in the minds of the people of Mis-
souri, it is easy to conceive wha
effect the nomination of ''com
mercial politician would have AM
how it would have tainted tn
party. In choosing Mr.. Niedring
haus the Republican party has liv
ed up to It's professions that
held the purity of politics abov

The corrupt practices act nov

The corrupt practices act now
on the Missouri statutes should be
repealed, since it has been q dead
law ever since it was put there.
This law was intended to restrain
the corrupt use of money in elec-
tions and all know how Intellectual
it has been. 1t makes both the
corruptor and tie corrupted par
ties to misdemcanor, with the re
suit that neither party will testify
against the other. A law which
would apply only to the party us.
ing corrupt means TO influence
elections and extend inducement.
to those who are approached fol
corrupt purposes to give evidence
against the offender, would quick
ly reduce the commercial politics
cyil to u minimum.

''licns is curious animals, they
