VIM, JOEL STONE is an old-fash-
Toned Democrat whom the "safe
and sane" gentry would like to re-
tire. He is a friend to every mem
Der of the party. No man is ia
booed by him because of his pref
erences within the party. Senator
Stone has no machine" no pat
ronage to bestow. But he is strong
in the hearts of Missouri Demo-
Gratis. They have tried him, they
know him, and, like myself, do not
treasure up such past differences
as may have arisen in the turmoil
of political strife. He does not
vainly assume a virtue beyond the
rank and file of the party he asks
to do him honor; does not seek to
clothe himself in garments of light
as a saving sign to a sinful world.
He is sufficiently of "the earth
earthly" to be true to his constitu-
ents. For all these, and other,
reasons, | like him.

THE following special from Lam
castor, Mo-, under date of January
25, is not from the hand of a DEM
ocrat to a Democratic paper, but
from a G. o. p. blown-in-the-b bottle
patriot to the Globe Democrat. In
this one instance the Great Relig-
ious Daily refuses to bow the knee
to Teddy the Terrible, and sc the
truth filters into its columns some
thing like the sunshine through an
ll-closed blind:
The Republicans of the first
District met here to-day for the
purpose of electing two delegates
and two alternates to the National
Convention at Chicago. The con-
vention vas composed of ninety
six delegates. Forty-seven came
instructed for Secretary Taft for
president and forty-nine came I'M
Instructed. The arrival of sub
treasurer T. j. Atkins, Judge Bert
D. Nortoni and Chas. Nagel of st.
Louis soon convinced the unin-
structed delegates that there was
a olive wire" reaching to Wash
ington, and that an edict to stand
pat for Roosevelt and Taft had
been flashed to the faithful, and
that Lancaster was the Mecca for
all who seek pie or guard the plat
ter. 1t is but simple justice, how
ever, to state that the uninstruct-
ed delegates were not for Mr.. Taft,
and if they had been left to regis
ter their best judgment, no in
structions would have been given.
Postmasters and friends to post
masters were appealed to with
telling effect, and before the dawn
binding agreements were entered
into that made doubly sure the
will of the ultra administration
forces. A peculiar feature of the
convention lies in the fact that
Lewis County, which has not had
a district delegate since 1864, went
down to defeat, as did Scotland
County, which had not had a dele
gate since 1884. Postmaster Gill
liland of New Cambria, Macon
County, and Representative
Spangler of Kahoka, Clark Coun-
ty, were made delegates. These
same counties furnished the dele
gates in 1895, Might makes right,
and a square deal is only a toy ex-
preston was the verdict of many.
The correspondent is right: the
only deal that is square with Ted
dy is that which gives him the jok-
er and two bowers. AS he ''gen-
orally always holds them in the
game played within the circle OF
his party, he's a pretty sure win
ner, and the CD. will in due time
be afforded the opportunity of es-
tablishing a reputation as a "good
loser"

of religion Ecclesiasticism is
positively ecclesiastical, and only
possibly religious. The religious
way of putting God into a Con-
stitution is to insert the vital prin-
ciple of religion. The nomen-
clature will take care of itself.
Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my Father which
is in heaven,'-this is a text we'll

DO not agree with an article
from the st. Louis Censor printed
on the first page of this paper, as
serting, in effect, that our higher
courts knock out certain laws be-
cause those laws are of benefit to
the people. The fact is, we fly to
law to remedy every passing ill,
aud in their enactment are not al
ways careful to keep within consti-
tutional bounds. All such work
the courts must undo, in behalf of
the common rights of all. The
Censop's wholesale adverse criti-
cism is unreasonable and unjust.

Harvey w. Watterson Plung-
ed Through Window.

Harvey w. Watterson, a law
yer and younger son of Henry
Watterson, editor of the Louis
willie Courier Journal, plunged TO
his death from the nineteenth
floor of his Office building at 81
Wall street. His body shot down
ward for ITO feet and landed on
the roof of ten-story building ad
joining. Almost every bone was
broken and the head crushed. aud
death was practically instansn-
e0us.
While there were no eye wit.
nesses to the tragedy, evidently
it was entirely accidental. Mr..
Watterson's hat aud overcoat
were on his closed desk. Presum-
able he had attempted to lower
the window, aud either stumbling
over the radiator which was In
front of the low sill, or losing his
footing in some manner unknown,
pitched forward and down to death
on the roof below.
Mr.. Watterson was thirty wears
old and married. He was iu-
nior member of the law firm of
Wing, Russell & Watterson.
After having discussed case
with a clerk III tue Office library,
Watterson remarked that he was
going home, and passed from the
library, through the Office of FIR.

IN and informed Thomas Il. Wing.
senior member OF the firm. that he
believed Mr.. Watterson had fallen
FROM the window, and when they
looked down from the window che
mangled form was seen lying on
the roof below.
The body was removed to the
WaI terson home, after the coroner
had declared that the death of
Mr.. WatteTson was due entirely TO
accident.
a peculiar feature of the case
was that Mr.. Watterson's watch
and cigarette case in one pocket
and pipe in another pocket were
not damaged by the fall. Mrs.
Watterson was prostrated when

death.
Mr.. Wing said that Mr. Wat
