IN MISSOURI.

A remarkable feature of the recent
election in Missouri was the defeat
of Senator John F. Morton. For
nearly twenty years Senator Morton
has geen a Democratic leader, and
was prominent among those who OPP
posed the nomination of Folk for
governor. For twelve years he has
been the recognized spokesman and
leader OF the corporation interests on
the floor of the Missouri senate. He
is an astute politician and skilled
campaigner. His district, rural
one. Is normally Democratic by near
ly three thousand. Governor Folks
first campaign speech this year was
delivered in Morton's section of the
state, and 1t was there the governor
made his first appeal for the election
Of none but honest men. regardless
of party. When Bryan came into the
state he was taken into Morton's dis
trict, and there, at Carrolron, Mis-
souri,. he made special appeal to
the voters in behalf of Senator Nor
ton. The appeal was heard in ST.
lence. Not a word was said against
Morton In public by any speaker APP
parently there was no concerted effort
to defeat him. But the farmers had
resolved what to do, and in his own
county he lost nearly two thousand
Democratic votes Contrast with this
the result in st. Louis. At the open
ing of the campaign the Republicans
were divided, and the Democrats
seemed to have an excellent chance
to carry the city. The Democratic
convention was dominated by friends
of the lawless. liquor, race-track and
bucket-shop interests, and by attor-
neys for the public service corpora
lions. To a Democratic Judge who
had rendered a decision against The
Big Cinch" a denomination was re-
fused. and a corporation tool was
placed on the ticket in his stead.
Governor Folks name was publicly
Kissed in the convention. Among the
Democratic nominees. as among the
Republicans were found ex-convicts.
Governor Folk, in a speech at Full
ton,- Missouri. stated that II some of
the men running on both the Repub-
lican and Democatic legislative tick
cts in St. Louis were sent to Jefferson
City. he would instruct the warden
of the state prison not TO permit the
convicts to associate with them, AS
a result about fifty thousand citizens
Of st. Louis failed to vote at all, and
the Republican ticket was elected,

Grown Up Japs Can Not Min

Chief Reason Why San Francisco In
sists on Running Her

SURPRISED AT JArs' VIEW

Washington, Dec. Among SEN
ators and representatives who have
ARRIVED here for the session large
percentage of the membership OF
both houses-the controversy over
the treatment of Japanese who de-
sire to attend the public schools in
San Francisco overshadows In point
of interest every other topic of dis
cussion.
In view OF the apparent determi-
nation of the local authorities OF that
city to consider themselves the best
judges as to the manner of conduct
ing their schools, the opinion is quite
prevalent that whatever solution OF
the troublesome question is evolved,
ii cannot be absolutely satisfactory
to the government OF Japan.
The San Francisco authorities seem
to be bent upon at least segregating
the Japanese who are approachingor
have reached the age of maturity
from the white children who attend
the public schools. California men,
bers of congress who have arrived In
Washington reflect the resentment
which their constituencies are mani

To many conspicuous public men
here 1t is rather astonishing that
Japan should insist upon this point,
Especially in view of the fact that
in every school district of the United
States where adults attend they are

one Of tn most commendable feat
ures of the public school system of
the United States is the manner in
which pupils of tender age are kept
apart from those much older. and

controversy be adjusted quickly and
satisfactorily to both sides contend
that the position of the japanese
government on this point is untena-
