The Democrats are trying to as
sociate the Republicansin in Missouri
with the booze element SO assidu-
eusly that were the truth known,
it would disclose our Democratic
friends and the saloons in har-
monious concord. 1t is decidedly
novel departure on part of our
Democratic friends to be lining up
ostensibly against the liquor traf-
fic. In our own county the Journ-
al has for years assiduously pro-
claimed against the liquor influence
in elections, and.s while it is true,
the Democrats have frequently
captured offices in this, Republi-
can county, it is hardly fair to
them to say that it was the result
of antiliquor sentiment on their
part

Local politics will soon begin to
warm up now, there being already
some discussion ON part of the Re
publicans as to the best method Of
making tie party nomination.
There is sentiment in favor of a
primary election. Nominations
by this method, while perhaps not
resulting in the making of Il
stronger ticket than would be com
posed by q delegate convention, will
at least, leave less room for sore
headedness on the part OF defeated
candidates for party prefcrment.

last week, speaking in favor of his

upon the Globe-D Democrat remarks
that it is easy to overestimate the
menace of socialism, that there
is nothing in the sociaIistic vote of
Debs for President to indicate that
q socialistic party, as such, strictly
speaking, will figure seriously in
shaping lae political destiny of the
country. Perhaps not, and we
are free to admit that general
swing to such a party, radical in
its tendencies, would be illadvised
and detrimental to- the welfare of
the nation. But the Globe 'is just

The Howell County Gazette fell
citating the Democratic party up
on its prospects of carrying Mis-
souri, at the election mex, fall, says:
''Thc Democratic party has Great
ed fought out and established every
issue that will be prominent in the
forthcoming campaign" and that
1.-The people of Missouri have al
ready overwhelmingly indorscd
tho issues" This sounds very
fine, Of course. but it looks like q
queer statement in the light of
quite recent eyents in Missouri. Iu
tie first place what are the issues:
According to the Gazette they are
boodling in the legislature, graft
in the metropolitan police force
and the eradication of race track
gambling, etc. We agree with
the Gazette that tie Democratic
party has established Ill these is
sues and has fought them out, but
almost to a unit on the side of
these evils. 1t created each and
every one of them by an act of the
LEGISLATURE at sessions in which all
the law-making branches of the
state government were in the hands
of that party. Legislative bood-
ling thoroughly involved the Dem
ocratic party, with its members Of
the legislature seen chasing tho'ls
and dollar bills here and there:
and the manager of the Democrat
ic press bureau at Jefferson City
at the time the Doodle scandal
broke out, whose chief business
previous to that time was the ar
raigning of Republicans for their
corrupt" tendencies, so deep in
the mire of corruption himself that
he had to take refuge in his con-
stitntional rights to keep from in
eliminating himself. And there
was Leiutenant-Goyernor Lee.
The Democratic party when ii
passed the breeders law made the
state II legal partner to the race
track gambling evil; when it pass
ed the police laws it did so to make
the metropolitan police Z force for
political tyranny snt! corruption
rather than a power to guard the
peace and safety Of the community.
We might add the baking g-powder
scandal with its fake health society
and Senator Stone in the back
ground. These are the issues the
Gazette is SO proud of and upon
which it claims the Democratic
party has united in harmony.
Verify, the party must be ready to
follow its old bent again, if the
Gazette speaks true. In these is
sues the Democratic party was at
the last election overwhelmingly
endorsed by Republican major
ity of 5000, aud the election by
Republican votes of IL Democratic
reform governor out of harmony
with his own party on the afore-
said issues. There is every pros
pect that the Democratic party
will get another endorsement Of
this kind next fall, and we trust The
Gazette will find much i,y in it.

Government ownership has been
given an impetus the past week by
the administration, unwittingly, in a
way that presages further develop
ment of the principle along definite
lines, through the appointment of
Professor n. Monroe Hopkins to the
position of chief electrical expert of
the Bureau of yards and docks of the
navy department says a Washington
dispatch. The appointment was
made for the purpose of centralizing
into one great plant in the District
of Columbia the many small electric
lighting and power plants now oper-
ated in the Washington navy yard.
The importance of the movement
lies in the fact that this same system
every yard in the country including
the greater yards at Brooklyn, Mare
Island, league Island, and all along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Mil
lions of dallors will be spent In the
enterprise-the plants in this district
alone. costing more than 100000
Professor Hopkins appointment
has caused deal of discussion in the
navy department. He is to be paid
almost four times as much salary as
the government experts. The latter
receive $4.5S a day, whereas the pay
of the professor is to be S16.50 a day.
The disgruntled ones are consider
ing the advisability of protesting
against having Hopkins placed over
them, declaring that men who have
worked for years in the department
should be given the preference over
new men. They also claim that the
appointment of Hopkins was secured
through the influence of the General
Electric company, the Electric In
strument and supply trust, for which
the professor used to work, and
whose interests, II Is asserted, will be
looked after in the matter of con-
tracts.
1t is alleged that the General Elec-
triic company had its friends appoint
ed with the hope that bids for the
supplies and the work as called for in
the specifications would be such as to
exclude the possibility of Westing-
house, Churcl5, Kerr and Co., and J..
G. White, rival organizations, inimical
to the trust, from getting any Of the
work. This could be done, they point
out, by having the specifications so
framed that oniy the machines, in
strumenrs and supplies manufactured
by the electrical trust could be used.
Congress is liksly to have the mat
ter called to its attention with a view
of having the bids and specifications
watched carefully.

FINE SPEECH BY MISS CHASE.

Those who were at the Methodist

Mary n. Chase of New Hampshire.
speak on the question Of woman suf-
frage enjoyed a rare treat, says the
Baker City Democrat. Miss Chase is
logical and convincing speaker and
carries her audience with her all the
time. From the first word she utter
ed there was not a moment when the
audience did not hang upon her
words. The most skeptIral opponent
of this cause, If he did not go away
convinced, at least heard many things
that must have shaken his belief in
the fairness of his position.
While one of the strong points that
was brought out in the lecture was
the justice of the demand of woman;
another was the fact that woman
needs this privilege for Frer own best
development. The reporter who writes
these notes is of the opinion that II
Miss Chase could get the ear of the
thinking people this cause would win
out by a big majority at the coming
| election.
