Republicans Make Jim Crow" Rule.

Jefferson City, Feb. 8. The first
Jim Crow order to 90 into effect in
Missouri was proposed by the re-
publicans of the Missouri legislature
Monday when the clerical force
committee decided to have separ-
ate wash rooms for white and negro
forces. Action of the committee
grew out of the incident in which
Virgil Franklin, it was said, was
impertinent to a young woman EN-
ployed in the senate.
In order that the democratic
members may not have to receive
their bills from the hands of negro
employees were added to the force.
Several democrats refused to get
their bills until the completion Of
the force was altered.
For years such democrats as
James M. Seibert, Sam B. Cook and
and democratic governors down to
the present time had used the same
wash rooms as the janitors. But
the first change was made by the
republicans in the report of the
clerical force committee to the
House.

No Hurry to Appoint.

St. Louis Feb. 9. Governor Her.
bert S. Hadley announced at Hotel
Jefferson before his departure for
Jefferson City last night that he
had decided not to make any ap-
pointments for the St. Louis police
and election boards until after the
April city elections. The announce
ment came after all-day conferences
with both republicans and demo-
Gratis.
No decision has been reached
concerning a successor to Excise
Commissioner Thomas E. Mulvihill.
Gov. Hadley said he had been asked
to consider several men for the
place. but that he had no acquaint-
ance with the persons recommended
to him. and that he desired first to
get the opinions of those whom he
personally knew before making the
appointment.

The Missouri legislature is at last
in working order and consequently
the usual number of freak or fool
bills are being presented. For in
stance, the regulating of the size of
bed clothes to be used in hotels. Of
course if we are to be dictated to as
to what we shall eat and drink we
can as we'll be told what sized bed
clothes we shall sleep under. If the
regulation idea continues to grow
as it has been in the last few years,
our incoming and our outgoing, our
lying down and our getting up will
be fixed by law and death will be
the penalty for the violation thereof.
The introduction of so many fool
bills is proof positive that we already
have too much law and that the
legislature ought not to convene
oftener than once in a decade.

Not many months ago the pack
ers who form the great Beef TruSt"
were charged with accepting rail-
way rebates and other unfair and
illegal advantages. They promised
to be good thereafter and were
given a coat of white wash. TheS e
fellows are now charged with 9TH
er great crimes, crimes greater than
rebates. They are now charged
with being in combination to fix
the price of their products at higher
price than is necessary to make a
good profit. If they do this they
could and no doubt will make the
price paid for hogs and cattle lower
and thus make money at both ends
of the combination and in addition
to this could also pay their hands
lower wages. Great is the trusts. A
fine does no good because the peo-
pie have to pay it. Make it a peni-
Tertiary sentence for those rich VIC
latorS of the law and soon this class
of people will be good.

Kelley injured his knee several
months ago and went to the hos

was preparing the patient for the
amputation, another inmate of the
hospital died. Permission was OBJ
tanned from the dead mans rela-

DR.. Vaughn cut out the knee joint

A policeman in New York, con-
victed of brutally beating a citizen,
pleaded for mercy on the ground
that he had a wife and family.
Why the fact of having a wife and
family should be regarded as giving
practically immunity in violating
the rights of others, is what neither
law nor logic has ever found out;
but it is brought forward so often
and is frequently so successful that
a certain class of wrongdoers have
learned to rely upon it to escape
the consequences of their own de-
liberate acts. Quincy Herald.

The situation in Tennessee is a
sad one to contemplate. The Car
mack trial is building up fueds that
will not be eradicated in many
years and will greatly retard that
states progress. An effort is being
made to stop the controversy head
ed by the deceased senator's wife
who says there has been sorrow
and desolation enough caused by
the killing of her husband. The
whole bitterness has grown, more or
less, out of an attempt to control
the personal habits of all men and
prescribe what they shall eat, drink
and wear. The same controversy
grows up wherever these I'M
American laws are attempted. To
see its counterpart one only has to
look back to the old wars of church
and state and carefully read up
that history.-Moberly Democrat.

Missouri as Others See 1t.

Have you been accustomed to
speak slightingly of our neighbor
state on the south?
If you have, you had better
change your ways.
The SHOW me" state has shown
us, says the Muscatine Iowa Journal.
The Burlington Hawkeye calls
the attention of the public to the
very honorable course adopted by
Missouri in a matter quite likely to
be tinged by partisan dishonor.
So close was the vote for lieuten-
ant governor in that state. that not
until this week was the result Off
cially settled. Both democratic and
republican candidate claimed the
election. Each had just cause to
think himself chosen.
The official decision, of course,
rested with the Joint session of the
legislature. which canvaSsed the re-
turns. The joint session is demo-
cratic, the democratic majority in
the upper house being larger than
the republican majority in the
lower.
With the result of the vote as it
came before the joint assembly, so
close, and with evidence of certain
irregularities in the counting of the
vote some of it favorable to each
side to consider, a decision on a
strictly partisan basis, was almost
to be expected, so long as human
nature is human nature, and poll
tics, politics.
But not for Missouri.
A joint committee composed O
five democrats and five republicans
was appointed to decide the issue
squarely and on its merits. Tit
vote in certain precincts where thu
accurateness of the count wal
questioned, was recounted. Tit
methods of the procedure, the pre-
cincts in which the recount was t
be made, all of the details wer,

Il Is stated the senate committee on

Guilty in preparing a report on the Gull
serson resolution under which a partial
investigation Of the Tennessee Coal &
Iron absorption by the United states
Steel corporation was made No report

dent on the one hand and the en-
pIoyes Of the trust in the senate on the
other can prevent II. The evidence 80
far taken seems TO warrant the state
men1 that the trust took advantage Of
the panic TO gobble up its principal
rival. and that President Roosevelt was
either duped by false representations
made by Messrs. Gary and Prick OF de-
Hberately consented to the violation Of

GOVERNOR FOLKS IDEA.

Joseph W Folk. who has achieved a
national reputation in the last few

form movement which is slowly. but
none the less surely. spreading over the
country, has arrived at the conclusion
that the people would be benefited If
governors should appoint their own
.-tas .e.1 - state Offices. instead Of
having them elected. This opinion is
rendered as the result OF Air. Folks ex-
perieace as governor OF Missouri during
the past four years. Admitted that his
proposition seems somewhat paradox
zeal, Governor Folk says; THE fewer
elective Offices we have the more gov
eminent by the people we shall have.
Il Is this way; The people have no or
gan;zation. They cannot organize for
the election OF many. They can con-
eentrate their attention on one man.
They can devote their thought to the
election OF a governor and get a good
man. But when 1T GENES t. efecting
