Tho Home Rule Natter.

IN their platform the Republicans
of Missouri called attention of the
people to the abandonment of the
principle of local self-government by
the Democrats of the state and re-
affirmed previous Republican 'declar-,
atoms ''in favor of the principle Of
home rule"
The Republicans of the Legislature
passed and turned over to the Demo-
Gratis of the Senate we'll drawn md
strong bills providing for local control
of police and excise matters by the
people of the larger cities, reserving
to the governor only the power to re-
move officials in charge Of such mat
ters for failure to enforce the laws of
the state. The Democratic Senate
killed those bills because they did not
|give exclusive authority to city may
ors to remove such officials. Such
exclusive authority lodged in the
hands Of the mayors would have de.
prived the state of power to compe'
the enforcement Of its own laws in the
larger municipalities.
! For more than thirty years thu
Democrats have held that police ant
excise authority in the cities shoult
be in the hands of the governor, ant
they have always opposed efforts t.
limit or divide that authority. Neve
until the Republicans profered to tht
cities authority to appoint police ant
excise officials had the Democrats ap
peared willing to grant home rule
When it was "put up" to them t.
vote for home rule for the cities the
demanded a radical change in tn
relation of the cities to the state
change which they knew could nc
be approved by the governor or be
come acceptable to the cities. The
have never favored home rule, hav
: never granted it and never will, III
!. less they come to regard it as a mat
ter Of party expendiency.-Sta'

at the Baptist Church Sunday night
was presented to an overAowing
house, many not being able to gain
admittance, and the standing room
being fully occupied. The program
as rendered was very entertaining,
and represented much painstaking

the ladies having it in charge. The
music was splendid, the generous ap-
plause showed the appreciation oi
the audience, and the attention given
was respectful and earnest. The
platform was beautifully banked with
flowers, and nearly all the partici'
pants carried boquets, and the sweet
perfume filed the edi6ce. 1t was al
together, very pleasant entertain
ment.

for great distance it thought possible for
to walk in eighteen hours So, when the vii

The Indians protested against the speed saying
and That's fair. You You were

gathering about a large chestnut tree at the

The memorial stated that the candi-

regarded as stroke of O'Connelrs
cautious political acumen.
"All who want to sign, come and

sort of boycotting speech at which

Eskimos' Veracity Upheld

BERKELEY, Sept. 1S.-"Contact with
the Eskinos for centuries on the part
of the Danish people has established
faith in their veracity and the testi-
mony Of the two men who accompanied
Doctor Cook on his exploration is the
strongest kind of evidence in favor of
his claims to the discovery of the north
pole" This statement was made to-
day by Prof. Hector Jungerson. director
of the Royal Geological museum of
Copenhagen and trustee to the Den
mark Geographical society.
Professor Jungerson is the guest of
the department of zoology at the Uni
versity of California and is on his way
to La Jolla, near San Diego, where he
will visit the geological station of
which Prof. E. w. Ritter recently took
charge.
1T would be unwise,' said Junger-
son, with only newspaper accounts
and few kilograms to hazard an opin-
ion to the validity of Doctor Cooks
claims, but there are several points in
his favor.
'rhe first human being he met on
his return was Knud Rasmussen, who
was on a mission from the Danish gov
ernment to Cape York. Rasmussen,
who speaks the Eskimo language, was
one of the first to speak to the Esl<imos
accompanying Cook, who confirmed his
dCcouHtS SSdtliN DIS ldT dS their knOW1-
edge would allow. For centuries Eski-
mos have never been known to lie to
Danes. Rasmussen was convinced
Another point in Cooks favor is the
opinion of Commander Hovgaard
well known polar explorer and astron-
omer. He saw Cooks papers and was
convinced. / think Commander Peary
hardly showed proper courtesy in his
first dispatches. If his claims were
right there was no adya antape in brr1-
ing denunciations at Doctor Cook as he
did"
