We cannot see anything 10 the
announcement of Hon. z. G. Ker-
ems that he is candidate for the
Republican nomination for United
States senator that is likely to
prove of benefit to the party or add
the least to party harmonv. Should
ths Republicans hold majority in
the next general assembly, we do
not believe Mr.. Kerens could be
elected even if be were the nomi-
nee of the party, for there would
undoubtedly be enough of the
friends of Thos. K. Niedringhaus,
the former chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee, present who
would only be too happy in paying
back Kerens in his own coin for
having instigated the bolt that led
to Neidringhaus' defeut for the
senatorship four years ago. after
the Republican caucus bad nomi-
mated him. BY that act Kerens
undoubtedly killed the last pros.
pect be ever had of representing
Missouri IN the senate. We do
not say this from any grievance
over Niedrin9haus' defeat, for we
would, under most circumstances
haveg given our preference to Kerens
rather than to Niedringhaus, we
say it because Kerens, when be
could not have his own way, has
shown himself to be a disturber
from pure self.interest. Lieuten-
ant. Governor John G. Mckinley
or Capt. Joseph King, editor of
the Globe. Democrat, are offered
the Missouri Republicans as sena-
torial candidates along with Mr..
Kerens, and we will say frankly
that considering the best interests
of the party the nomination of
either of the former would do the
party more good than the nolnina.

The Best Equipped Candidate Within
the Memory OF This Generation.

Of all the presidential candi
dates within the memory of this
generation, Taft is uuquestionabl y
the best equipped, in training and
experience, aud in wide and close
contact with affairs. 10 one i'm
por,ant respect his equipment is
unlike that of any of the Presi'
dents. no one of whom has ever
served on the bench. With the
exception of those nominated on
their military records, and two or
three who had been governors OF
their states, the Presidents have
been men whose political training
was in the legislative branch. Taft
was never in Congress, or even in
his state legislature. He is wholly
without personal experience in
what is called practical politics.
He was educated for the bar; early
became a Judge; the whole trend
of bis thought and of bis ambition
has been in the line of the judici'
airy, and his ingrained judicial
temperament it was that made him
so conspicuously useful and sue
scessful in tho many difficult ad
ministrative problems he WAS later
called upon to solve.
1t was q distinct sacrifice he
made when President Mckinley
took him from a life position that
he enjoyed, and that was in line OF
his dearest hopes, to lay upon him
the burden of establishing peace
and order in the Philippines. The
Judgement. tact and skill with
which he carried on that great
task; the candid diplomacy with
which be smoothed away perplex-
ing obstacles, the unsel6sh devo'
ton with which he was uphold the
interests of those far.away people
iu the face of Indifference ut home,
were an honor to the nation. The
same qualities of a wise adjudica'
ter have been repeatedly at the
service of the country. 10 Caba,
in Panama, 10 Japan, it has beeu
necessary only to ''seud for Taft. P"
Misunderstanding are cleared up
and difficulties vanish before this
gracious personality, this calm.
clear, disentangling mind. His
intellectual integrity and disinter
estedness have been as unmistak-
able as bis quiet strength, his un.
swerving sense of justice, bis ab.
solute honesty. 1t is not mind
that moves by impulse or 10 start
ling flashes; it is u mind we'll poised
and of singular lnciLity, that
reaches its results by logical prin
ciples, which d. not antagOnize,
but convince.-From the Philadel.

upset, one wheel smashed and the
dash board broken off.
