and the dictation of the bosses count
for but little. For state offices we
had in mind an almost complete
ticket, but before turning it loose,
will have to wait and see, we suppose,
who the state committee endorses.
Again, will we have to wsit for the
state committees endorsement of
county candidates. The Republican
party of Missouri has been sadly
handicapped by its would-be leaders,
who have worked solely for the job of
federal pie distributor, letting the
Imperial State go by default, and with
all the past experience have learned
nothing. Get together and work
together to carry the state and let the
federal pie counter take care OF itself.
Missouri is Republican state and
will elect the entire Republican
ticket this year if the "bosses" will
take a seat in the rear out Of sight
and hearing.

Now, that 1908 is here, and the
political campaign on, talk of the
coming candidates is in order. Our
choice for president, Roosevelt, hav-
ing positively declined to be candi-
date, leaves US slightly elevated, just
sufficiently so as to get a good view
OF the field, and whoop'er up for the
winner, il we can locate him.. Our
second choice, without giving the
subject much thought, was Taft,
until the state committee so emphati-
cally decided the matter, and now we
are in the waiting class. We have
always believed that Missouri Repub-
licans were the most independent, as
well as the most persistent "critters"
on earth. Missourians may have to
be "shown" in many things, but
when it comes to politics, whether
Republicans or Democrats, at this
time, they are law unto themselves,

Famous Artist to Decorate Walls of Gen. otis's Home in Los Angeles.
(New York Herald.)

Eighteen decorations are to be exc cuted in General Harrison Gray Otis's house in Los Angeles. They are to be done in "buono fresco," that is, carried out on the walls while the plaster is still wet and allowed to dry in with it. Mr. Max Friederang, of Brooklyn, is now crossmg the conti- nent to execute these decorations for General Otis.
 Readers of The Herald's art section will remember that some time ago this frescoist did some decorative work on the outside of the music hall in Waterbury, Conn.,, built by Messrs. Nc Kim, Mead & White. Mr. Friederang claimed that his work in the old Italian medium of 'buono fresco'' would with stand time and the elements. The architects subjected some samples to the test of exposure on roof to the elements throughout a winter, and, as the work met the teas, gave him the Waterbury commission. Regarulng the work he is to do for General Otis, Mr. Friederang writes:
 To the Editor of The Herald:-I beg to inform you of my departure for Los Angeles, Cal My studio in Brook lyn will be closed for the next three months, as have undertaken the exc cution in California of eighteen histori- cal trescoes, representing "The Days of '49," and the development of the great industries of California.
 The frescoes will be painted direct on the wet walls newly laid in the beautiful mansion of General Harrison Gray Otis. The work has to be painted by myself only and without any other help.
