forced to the front the people of Mis-
souri,, the people of the whole state,

people of St. Louis itself. With per-

in the gravest danger. The riot of

delegates to each State convention to
misrepresent St. Louis and mislead

A VICIOUS DENIAL.
Thursday, October Is, 1908, angered
by the continual assertions of Herbert
S. Hadley that the general primary
election in August was conducted by
the same crooks and thugs and
thieves for the benefit of Cowherd and
his associates, and that gigantic
IrduQS were pe~rpelraleQ, resulting III
a big majority for Cowherd in the
city, the St. Louis Republic broke
loose from its mooring to pure cleo
tions and honest politics and abused
and villified Mr.. Hadley in the most
drastic language, saying, among other
things as mean and vicious as any
vitriolics pen could indict:
"Hadley's immortality"

FIRST VOTERS LEAGUE.
An Enrolment of Young Men Who
Will Cast Their First Vote for
President and Governor.

State Chairman Walter S. Dickey is
enrolling the m of first voters in
the First Voters League of Missouri
The following announcement, already
mailed to thousands of young men in
the State, fully explains the object of
the League:
You are about to cast your first
vote. Your first participation in
County, State, and National govern
ment will have a strong influence upon
your life, affecting your associations
and your business. With your first
vote you will ally yourself with a po-
litical party, and the choice of parties
lies before you for calm considera-
ton.
"You have the opportunity to enroll
yourself with the Republicans, who
have made this nation what it is to-
day; who have kept the faith be-
queathed to them by their fathers, es-
tablished a firm standard of sound
craftsmanship, and administered the
government by men of proved expert
ence and integrity. If you make this
choice you at once associate yourself
with men of achievement and leaders
of the nation.
IF, however, some whim or false
argument impels you to cast your
vote with the opponents of those who
have accomplished so much, reflect
well before following that impulse.
The so-called Democratic party of to-
day has veered like a weathercock un-
der the influence of a visionary leader
who champions policies untried and
un%approved by a majority of the
voters in this country.
This year you have a voice, not
only in the election of the Governor
of Missouri, but in the election of the
President of the United States. The
Republicans offer for President of the
Republic and for Governor of Missouri
two fearless, upright men, trained to
the duty of executing the laws, whose
careers of accomplishment assure the
people of their fitness for these i'm
portant positions, and whose person
alities have won the esteem and ap-
prevail of the entire American people.
THE Democrats put forward as
their Presidential candidate a poll
tician who has changed his belief re-
peatedly, who Is unstable, untried and
d~istrusted even by members of his
own party. And you are undoubtedly
%conversant with the method by which
the Democratic candidate for Governor
OF Missouri secured his nomination, a
nomination which created widespread
alarm and distrust throughout the
State
What will you do with your ballot?
I'VE now ask you to join the Repub.

President Roosevelt Saws:

To fail to elect Mr. Taft would be a
calamity to the country; and it would
be folly, while electing him, yet at the
same time to elect a Congress hostile
to him, a Congress which under the
influence of partisan leadership would
be certain to thwart and battle him on
every possible occasion. To elect Mr..
Taft, and at the same time elect a
Congress pledged to support him, is
the only way in which to perpetuate
the policy of the government as now
carried on. l feel that all the aid that
can be given to this policy by every
good citizen should be given; for this
is far more than a merely partisan
matter.

The primary election IN 81. LOUIS
in March, 1904, for nomination of city
officials and delegates to state con
ventions, was conducted by Demo
cratic election crooks and thugs and
thieves, just as they conducted the
primary election in August of this
year. The city was ~scandalized and
decent people were ashamed of the
scenes and incidents of the day.
March IA, 1904, two days after the
city primary election, the st. Louis
Republic said editorially:
"A Grave ISSUE"
mo good citizen can read of the
Democratic primaries last Saturday
without recognizing that a new issue
has been created of graver character
and higher importance than any ques-
ton of partisan politics. The story OF
the day is a tale of outrage and in
famy-outrage completely thwarting
private right, and personal liberty
infamy loading the police authorities
with disgrace.
ut is impossible to speak of the
days occurrences with moderate
phrases. They require strong Ian.
guage, and no words can aggregate
the gravity of the issue st. Louis
faces. 1t would have been sufficiently
serious if the police had simply been
unable to repress the riotous proceed
ings of the organized gangs of ruff
fans that invaded the West End pre-.
cincts. But the seriousness of the sit
uation Is greatly increased by the
overwhelming mass of evidence show
ing that the police willingly permitted
many outrages to go unrebuked, if
they did not actually and actively as
sist the rufiians who committed them.
There is no chance to question the
fact that the imported rowdies who
ran amuck continuously for six long
hours in the twenty-eighth ward had
the sympathy and protection of the po-
lice who were stationed at it's W.
polls. Citizens who were showed and
beaten and slugged in their efforts to
faithfully execute a high civic duty
appealed in vain for police protection.
Voters who were personally known to
the officers found their appeals as alb
solutely futile as those who were un-
known, and the word seems to have
been passed around that a man with
a clean shirt or a decent coat was to
be accorded no rights unless he was
known to carry a Halves ballot.
MI. Halves and the leaders who are
associated with him, as well as the
Board of Police Commissioners and
the Chief of Police, must meet the full
load of responsibility the riotous
scenes of Saturday impose upon them.
ut will not avail to deny the riot
ing and outrage. 1t was witnessed by
too many people and is denounced by
too many Democrats with lifelong rec
ords of party loyalty. 1t will not avail
to disprove and condemn. The riot
at the Clayton primary put every one
on guard. and the duty of Mr.. Halves,
of his friends, and of the police au-
thorities, who were thus forewarned,
was to take effective precautions to

This condition of corruption in the elections and in the en-
forcement of the laws in the large cities was equalled, il not
surpassed, according to the charges of Governor Folk and his
supporters, in the corruption which existed in State affairs, for
he further charged that for years the "bribegiver and the bribe-
taker had stalked through legislative halls and gone unwhipped

poratons; that legislation in the interest of the people was de-

taxed has upset the assessors and the ma
tional banks as we'll. The matter is now
in the state courts on a case brought by
the Des Moines National bank.
What started the whole question is the
provision of the state law which provides
that assessment of the capital stock OF
state and savings banks shall be to the
bank, and not to the owners or holders
of the stock. Some state and savings
banks invest their capital stock in govern
ment bonds. They held that an assess
ment Of the stock of the bank when in
vested in government bonds was taxation
of government bonds, which the national
law prohibits. The suit went through the
state courts and through the United States
supreme court and was decided in favor
of the banks, hence all state and savings
banks by investing their capital stock in
government bonds can escape taxation on
it,
As soon as the United States supreme
court decided that point the national banks
of Iowa claimed they should escape taxa
ton in the same way. There is one i'm
portant difference in the matter, and it
remains for the courts to decide whether
II is a vital difference or not. In the case
of the national banks assessment of the
stock is to the stockholder. This would be
true, too in the case of state and savings
banks but for the state law eXempting the
owner and putting the assessment on the
bank Some lawyers claim this difference
is a vital one and that the owner is as
sessed on the certificate of stock no matter
how the money he paid for the stock is
invested

the meeting Of the National Educational
association at Washington and a weeks
visit to the schools Of Philadelphia, comes
back with firm conviction that the segre-
cation of sexes as practiced in the public
school Of the Quaker city is highly desir-
able. What Mr.. Clifford saw in Philadel-
phia makes him of the opinion that the
separation of boy and girl pupils, especially
'above the eighth grade, is an excellent
thing. The system OF men teachers only
for the boys high school and women in
structors only for the girls high school,
as followed in Philadelphia, Mr.. Clifford
also believes is a move in the right direc-
ton.
