The Cft-Year Vote hiystery

In the mldeiection between pres
ldent!al elections the vote falls of,
bnt Why it should decline 80 large
ly is Il fact that can not be sat:s-
factorily explained from the stand
point Of good citizenship. The
Missouri figures on tins point are
worth examining; in fact. they
show that the Republicans mast
inevitably carry the stat" # they

presidential election Of 1876 the
total Republican vote in the state
was 3UI. $40. but in 1879, the Off
year. it fell to 34,2l3, Il fail OF Is
per cent. In the presidential year
1900 the total Republican vote IN
the state was 314.O92. The of
year election OF 1902 came 0u Il
stormy day throughout the state.
and the Republican vote went down

Controlling the Trusts.

While the Democratic party is
making loud claims of what it will
do against the trusts, if it ever
gets the chance, and while intiiviG-
ual leaders such as Mr. Bryan ant!
Mr.. Hearst biaz" forth in dire
threats, it should be source OF
satisfaction to Republicans to real
ize that the Republican "oilninis-
traton has Il record of acts accom-
p!ished in regard to the prosecu-
ton Of the trusts.
Within the past two years the
administration has successfully at
tackled a number of illegal cOmbi-
nations aud monopolie5 and broken
them up. This has been accom-
pliShed from time to time, and
doubtless the genera! public took
cognlzauce at the moment, but the
aggregate Of the cases makes d
showing we'll worth contemplating.
Every Republican can meet this
Democratic cium0r ;ts to what til c
Democrats are going 10 90, by
pointing out just what lhe Repn5-
lican party has done in that dircc
ton. 1t is remarkable exhibit,

space Of an editorial, but is set
forth in detail in the cnmpa}gl

Congressman Watson which is he

Congressional Committee. The
facts show that under the laws
passed by Republican congresses,
the administration mas completely
demolished number of combina-

enjo'ned other corporations from

Senatorial Dignity.

Perhaps United States Senator
William j. Stone was correctly
reported when he was made to say
in print that it is as useless to at.
tempt to debate with John. A.
Flanagan as it would be with fire
alarm gong.
This may or may not be the
case. The questions proposed for
answer, however, were not FIana-
gan's questions or Republican ques-
tions, or questions which belong to
any man or any party.
They are questions of the record
on which Senator Stone appears
before the people of Missouri,
seeking Il reelection to the United
States Senate.
He may not be willing to discuss
with Fire Alarm Flanagan
questions Of his former relations
to such corporations as the Baking
Powder Trust. He may hold it
beneath the dignity of Il United
States Senator to engage in Il cam
palgn debate with person who is
not Il United States Senator. Bat
that doe, not remove the question
ot how the Supreme Court was
used to leave the Tobacco trust in
full control 10 Missouri after the
name and power Of the State had
been invoked to force the trust to
terms.
Such questions As these belong
to the public business Of Missouri.

Says Revolution Against Rule Of

ton Of Time.

Berlin, Sept. DIR. Karl Peters
stated in an address which he delivereds
at Hanover that during the tour i'm
South Africa from which he has just

dences of the growth Of the Kaffir dam
ger in all European colonies.
He has come to the conclusion that q.
negro rebellion against white rule in
Africa is only question Of time. The
Ethiopian movement, in particular, has
been greatly strengthened during the
present year, and it's adherents already
possess six daily papers, in which
hatred against the whites is assiduouslys
preached to the Kaffirs.
DR.. Peters does not believe that the

will also always be dependent on Eu-s
