FOUR BOXES.
An Effective Quartet Of Great Gov.
ernina Powers.

An Enecttve Quartet or Sreat Gov.
erning Powers.
"The world is governed by three
boxes" said an American wit of a cen
fury ago. 1.-The cartridge box. the ballot
box and the handbook"
Between the first two Of these great
governing powers no n questioned
the natural alliance, but that the sex
whose box was the bandbox should
also claim a right to use the ballot
box was in his day undreamed of. Half
a century later. during the civil war,
Horace Greeley, the famous editor,
held the old opinion.
Madam" he said bluntly at a pub
lie meeting to the pioneer suffragist,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton. "the bullet
and the ballot go together. If you
want to vote. are you ready to fight?"
Certainly, sir" replied the quick
witted lady, to the delight of the audi
ence. Il am ready to fight just as you
have ~fought-with my pen"

DAVID A. BALL does not pro-

committee to eliminate him from
the coming state campaign.
Some time ago Mr.. Ball announc-
ed that he would be a candidate
for Governor again, and or Mon
day while in Washington to shave
it out'' with Senator Stone and
Champ Clark, he again stated
that he would be a candidate for
governor. 1t is well known
among politicians, that the State
committee, which is dominated
by the old guard element of the
party, are determined to eliminate
both Folk and Ball from the stu
alton, and at the same time har-
monte the party. Chairman
johnson undoubtedly believes
that there is nothing like the axe
to bring about harmony. IT Folk
and Ball and what they represent
are driven out of the Democratic
Iarty, there will not be anything
left that anyone is bound to re-
spect.

SQUARE DEAL FOR MISSOURIANS
That is All Governor Hadley and the
People Demand Of the
Railroads.

Jefferson City, May 3t.-A body
of business men, assembled in, St.
Louis recently, cheered the sug-
gestion of the president of the
Business Mems League that the
railroads are being prosecuted |;
that anti-railroad agitation should
cease; that these highways of
commerce and travel should have
fair deal from the people, etc., etc.
The speaker who was champion
ing the cause of the railroads,
made the impression that Govern
or Hadley is responsible for the
agitation and the litigation which
now troubles the managers of the
great railroad systems doing BUSH
ness in Missouri. Though
Democrat and naturally disposed
to feel that a Republican governor
should be criticised, if not con-
demned, the speaker claimed that
he vas not speaking as partisan,
and his remarks were cheered by
his business friends without re-
gard to political considerations,
and, in all charity it may be said,
without regard to the facts in
valued in the statements made.
What is the policy of the Re-
publican governor toward the rail
roads?
tits simply to secure for the
people of Missouri, the same
treatment by railroads operated
in this State, which they accord to
the people of other states in which
they operate.
Is that unfair? Is that persecu :
ton? Is that in anywise oppres-
sive?
From the beginning of the pres
emit agitation, Governor Hadley
has merely sought to enforce tn e
laws of the State, applying to tn e
charges and the service of railroa d
companies. When the acts of the
Legislature yer suspended by a
federal court against his protest
and at the instance of the railroa d
companies, he demanded of them
that they make no discrimination
in their freight and passenger
charges against the people in
Missouri; that they accord
Missourians a fair deal; that they
permit the people of this State to
travel on lines operated within
the State as cheaply as they per-
NIT people of adjoining states to
travel on their lines; that they
charge no more for hauling the
produce of the citizens of Miss ouri
to market or for transporting their
freight, than is required of tn e
citizens of adjoining states, under
similar conditions; and he sought
an agreement with the managers
of the railroads along such lines.
No agreement was reached and he
had to apply to the state courts to
restrain the railroad companies
from p~erfccting an agreement OF

entering into a conspiracy to fix
discriminating aud unfair rates
for passenger and freight traffic
pending the controversy in the
Supreme Court of the United
States, over the validity of the
state laws, determining railroad
rates. The suit, which he caused
to be entered estopped the CON
spiracy and made it necessary for
each railroad to determine for
itself, what rates shall be charged
under the maximum fixed by the
old railroad laws. That much
accomplished, the Governor re-
lied upon the Legislature then in
session, to enact laws, under which
the state might determine the rates
of passenger and freight trans
portation, but the railroads main
tanned a powerful lobby at the
capital and defeated every prop
osition under consideration for
regulating the rates and service
of railroad corporations.
Ought he now to surrender to
the railroads and cease his efforts
to protect the interests OF tn
people, who elected him Governor
and who look to him to represen t
them in all such matters? Would
the prosperous business men of
st. Louis have the Governor of
the great State of Missouri thro w
up his hands, call off the battl Q
and let the railroads charge the
people of Missouri, more than
they charge the people of adjoin-
ing states for the same identical
service as common carriers? Is
that the kind of a Governor the
business men of st. Louis want?
Certainly the honest people of the
state would not long respect such
a Governor, nor could the present
Governor respect himself or hope
for the respect of the men, who
promoted his candidacy for CUB
ernatorial honors and powers were
he to "cease agitation of the rail-
road question" as suggested by
Mr.. Smith, the Democratic :presi-
dent of the Business Mems League
of st. Louis.
While Governor Hadley feels
that he must require1 a esquare
deal for the people from the rail
roads, he is the representative Of
the Republican party, which
stands for the material develop
ment of the state, for Eencourag
ment of railroad and other facili-
ties for transportation, and for a
progressive policy generally. He
cannot consistently prosecute tn e
railroads, nor is he the least b i,
disposed to do so, but he lis in
honor and in duty bound to Sc {
that they do not Cypress or mis- =
treat the people. Hinderedl by &
Democratic Senate at the instanc e
of a railroad lobby, from securin G
legislation, under which relations
between the railroads and the
people might have been equitably
adjusted, the Governor must no "
do the best he can without such
legislation, and he will consider
the views and interests of thu
farmers, the business men and tn
small shippers throughout tn,
State as of as much importance al
the views and interests of the biz
shippers in the big cities, VIII
usually obtain from the railroad
concessions, which the smalle
shippers and the people generally
cannot obtain.
