Democratic candidates, and if the
Democratic party accepts this aid
without protest, it stands commit
ted to protect the interests OF the
trusts in opposition to the we'll be-
ing Of the people. While it is true
the trusts have sprung up and
grown under Republican rule, it is
also true that the Republican par
ty is endeayoriug to make the laws
for their regulation and control.
For aid in opposition to such
regulation and control the trusts
Invariably turn to the Democrats.
In view of these facts what be-
comes of the latter party's anti
trust pretensions! 1t may safely
be assumed that the trusts know
why they would prefer Demo
cratic to Republican congress.

Where The Packers Fall Down.

When j. Ogden Armour sought
to dispose of the packing house
charges 10y saying that Pres. Roose-
velt ''has strong personal animus
against the packers be was both
weak and futile.
He is wasting breath in blamin g
any one but the packers themselves
for the damage done to American
trade abroad by the exposures. J"
1t is damage noted with regret
by every large business man in the
country. Only the packers can
directly apply the remedy.
The remedy lies not in talk about
personal feeling. 1t lies in prompt
and pratical action.
The packers can restore conf
dence only by inviting inspection
and by making conditions such as
to defy inspection. The more
rigid the inspection the greater
will be public confidence.
The Neill- Reynolds report spoke
of the impressive contrast between
the Chicago stockyards and an
antitrust establishment which was
visited by Mr.. Reynolds in New
York. The place is built like the
operating rooms of Il modern hos
pital and the lavatory arrangements
are superior to those of many hos
pitfalls supposed to be first class.
The materials used in the construc-
ton of the building-white tile,
brick and cement-conduce TO gen
eral cleanliness, and with the eff
forts thus made to prevent the ac-
emulation of filth, the careful
enforcement of sanitary regulation S
and the bathing facilities that are
offered employees, there seems to be
nothing to be hidden.
Armour and his trust colleagues,
instead of giving their attention to
personal attacks on Pres. Roose.
velt, should give it to this modern
built abattoir.-St. Louis Chron.

From Dickens to Sinclair.

Because the MohIer Commission
charges Upton Sinclair with ''atro-
cious exaggeration," the Chicago
Journal says he is wholly discredit-
ed, and adds that President Roose-
veIt's quasi Endorsement of this
novelist reformer was extremely
/ |injudicious.
The same charge of exaggeratlon
was brought against Dickens, when
he exposed The debtors prison and
the private schools conducted for
gain. Hogarth, who more than
anyone else was instrumental in
breaking down the universal drink
habit in England, grossly exagger-
ated it in his wonderful pictures.
TO 60 farther back, the prophets
of Judea, without exception, were
guilty of "atrocious exaggeration,
as when one of them says: s'Every
one of them is gone back: there is
none that doeth good, no, not
one"
When man of intense earnest
ness encounters giant evil, he is
constrained to strike at it in such a
manner as to bring upon himself
the accusation Of mcndacity from
those who profit from the evil or
care nothing about it. Of course
Sinclair exaggerated. So did
Dickens. So did Isaiah. So did
Harriet Bcccher Stowe and every
other reformer who has wrought
successfully. But the evils they
depicted were real. The exaggera-
ton is accepted as a psychological
effect of the evil itself, and the
people are aroused to apply the
remedy. To attempt to discredit
the reformer because of his tenn
perament dcceives nobody. His
work is done.
The beef packers themselvea
arc responsible for the conditions
which aroused Sinclair's imagina
ton. Their frantic attempts at
reform, after the exposure, prove
the need of it.-Post- Dispatch.

Republican Work In tho State.

Upon his reelection as chairman
of the Republican state committee
Mr.. Niedringhaus said the pros
poets Of the party in the state are
excellent. and that victory will
come if the fight for 1t is pushed
with energy and zeal. Success can
be counted on if worked for, but
can not be expected on easier terms.
\ study OF election figures in Miss
ouri for the last twelve years war
rants the opinion that the Republi
cans outnumber any other single
party in the state. Not once since
1892 have the Democrats carried
Missouri in a presidential year un-
less fused with other political ele
ments. The Republicans had a
majority in the state in 1894 and
carried it decisively in the national
election of 1904. That was the
latest trial of strength aud brought
out a Republican vote of 100000.
Confidence is justified by the figur-
es, but the next result will rest
with work vigorously maintained
throughost the campaign from
start to finish.
The Republican party Of Mis-
souri, is now organized by schoo
districts and is in better shape il
that respect than at any previous
time. Every supporter of Repub
lican policies in the state can d'
something toward success IN Nov
cmber, and it would certainly b,
an agreeable privilege to send th
news to the country that Missouri
had repeated its verdict of tw'
years ago. Nothing could happe
in the elections Of the pr esent yea
that would be more inspiring t

The resumption of an extended
discussion of the booze and Doodle
politics of this county would be
vain, it appears to US, in the light
of well-known and established facts
to say nothing of the admission
from the Democratic side at the
conclusion of an election few
yeors ago, notorious for the meth
ods we have go severely condemn
ed, that Il number of the Republi
can candidates for the county offices
were defeated ''by the money und
whisky of the other sido," accom-
panied with the gratutious inform
alton that the Democrats we're
prepared to do the same thing at
any time in the future. We have
never maintained that booze and
Doodle practices at elections in this
county were confined solely to the
Democrats, our argument was that
thcy knew they could win here by
no other methods, and therefore
resorted to them, and the extent
to which the Republicans engaged
in them WAS in self,defence only.
1t is deplorable, we admit that SO
many Of our Republican voters
have permitted themselves to be
alienatcd from their ticket by such
methods; and it is regretable also
that their being in cahoots pre-
vents both parties to the transac-
tion from being reached by the
grand Jury. Thel efore, since pro
secutions seem to be barred be-
cause 70 offender need give testi-
mony that would incriminate him,
self, we must rely upon the moral
conscience of the candidates, and il
our Democratic friends are really
in favor of seeing booze and beedlt
politics wiped oMs in this county

Fraternai Societies Win.

A decision was given in the su-
preme court Friday that is of great
interest to all fraternal societies in
the state and to the members of
such societies. The decision was
by Judge Fox in the case of Mary
l.. Westerman against the Knights
of Pythias and was on a rehearing
of the case, the latter decision be-
ing directly opposite to the opinion
given by Judge Marshall in the
case some time ago in division No.
2 Of the court. Judge Fox and
the court en- banc say that if a
member CT a fraternal organization
carrying insurance features does
not comply with the rules of such
organization, no benefits can be Sc
cured at an action in law. That
the ''extended insurance princi-
pie" does not apply to benevolent
organizations. Had Judge Mar
shall's decision that the extended
insurance clause did apply been
upheld by the court en- banc it
would have put many of the So
cieties out of business in the state
and all these societies have been
anxiously waiting for the final
termination of the ause.--State

Until within the last year or two
the Bryan Democrats yociferously
maintained that unless the gold
bugs came back on bended knees,
begging forgiveness there would
be no room for them in the Demo
cratic party: Have you heard the
gold bugs begging: Not beg;
they quietly walked in and took
possession of the party, and an
nounced that all the Democrats
had become conservative again and
were pulling together once more.
Mr.. Bryan himself seems to have
become one of the conservatives.
The thousands of Democrats who
took to the woods when Parker
was nominated do not seem to have
been taken into the advisory coun-
ellis of the party at all. This Is
most interesting to onlookers out
side of the party, to see such men
as David K. Francis, Henry Wat
erson and the like driving the
Democratic and-wagon and the
Bryanites falling in behind. The
latter call this party harmony that
will lead to success, but the pros
poets are that the division among
the Democrats will only be the
greater. Bryan cannot be esteem
ed in the party rs he once WAS, nc
matter what clamor is made oyel
him by q lot of self-seeking poll
ticians, and that element which
still believes in the correctness OF

once represented will abandon him

All Democrats are not booze
fighters, in fact many of them in
dividually stand with this paper i'll
its opposition to the liquor traffic,
and in this connection we are
pleased to acknowledge association
with them; but in politics the
Democracy is intimately, affinitive
ly, we might say, associated with
booze. Take Missouri for instance,
Governor Folk has utterly alienat
ed himself from the Democrats be-
cause of his Gid" policy. He need
never look for favors from that
party again. Folk, in fact, would
not be governor of Missouri now
had his election been dependent
upon Democratic votes. 1t was
with the aid Of thirty thousand
Republicans that he became gov
erpor. Whenever we see Il Demo
cratic fCrce-the Jefferson Club,
State Senator Kinney, the political
king Of the fourth ward iii st.
Louis-we see close communion
between that force and the saloons
nor do we see Democratic journals
denouncing or even disavowlne
such connection. The prctensio1
of that party that it stands behlne

thin disguise to catch votes from
