Elsewhere in this issue will be
found somewhat unusual advertise
ment, run by the Republican State
Committee. 1t calls direct atten-
ton to what the Republican party
has done for the great State of
Missouri during two years of ex-
ecutive control of the State govern
ment.
Chairman Morris of the State
Committee, believes in appealing
direct to the intelligence of the
voter. "The great mass of Missouri
people," he says, "are able to do
their W thinking and refuse to
be controlled by partisan prejudice
when the interests of the State
are at stake" For this reason he
appeals to them in a manly.
straightforward manner, calling at
tention to the accomplishments of
the party during the past as an
indication of what it will do in the
future.
Campaign managers and partisan
newspapers too frequently appeal
to the prejudice of voters rather
than to their brains. They seek
to control through sentiment
rather than Judgment. The Repub-
lican party appeals to intelligence
alone. If it cannot win by convinc
ing that it's principles are right
and its purposes honest, it deserves
to lose. Abuse does not constitute
argument nor utilization convince
that well-establiAhed principles are
wrong. These are intended to i'm
duce exercise Of franchise rights
through prejudice.
Obviously, therefore, men should
consider seriously what issues are
involved before going to the polls.
II they win do this, Republican sue
cess in November is certain.

Missourians are beholding
strange things in State politics
this fall. When Jos. w. Folk was
verno he caused the enactment
of an anti-lobby law intended to
prevent Col. Bill Phelps and Joe
Shannon and others from coming
in contract with members of the
legislature. Now he is canvassing

ARE THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS s1NcERE7

They wrote in the Democratic platform they adopted at
Jefferson City September IA:
"TRUSTS-A private monopoly 10 indefensible and intol.
erabla We, therefore, favor the vigorous enforcement of the
criminal law against guilty trust maSnates and officials, and
demand the enactment Of such additional legislation as may be
necessary to make 1t impossible for = private monopoly to exist
In the United States"
AND YET-the very men who adopted this declaration are
partisan supporters of David r. Francis, whose fortune is in
private monopoies and trust corporations, and of James A. Reed,
whose large income as a lawyer is from private monopolies and
THE Interests of his home city; and they want the Legislature
to elect one Of these two candidates to q seat in the United
States Senate where, they say, trusts and monopoies and THE
Interests are enthroned.
AND YET-tbey permitted VIM. H. Phelps, the most noto-
rious corporation lobbyist in the history of the state, to bring
about the election Of one of his erstwhile assistants as chairman
of their State Committee; and these same leaders are now trying
to promote the election of Mr.. Phelps to the Legislature, using
the presence and the speeches Of former Governor Folk in Jasper
county to that end, although the former governor, at one time
during his term, would have excluded Mr.. Phelps from the capital
could he have done so.
ARE THESE DEMOCRATIC LEADERS SINCERE when
they talk to voters about good government and civic righteous
ness and better things for this glorious commonwealth, now
emerging from decadence to new life and new hopes and new
prospects and filled with a new and better public spirit?
DO YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE SINCERE?

Get Relief From Partisan
Court

Special Correspondence
Jefferson City, Oct. 17.--For forty
years the Supreme Court OF this
State has been extremely Demo-
cratic and many of its decisions
have savored of partisan politics,
This was especially true of the
late decision u%pholding Secretary
of State Roach in refusing to sub
nit to poplar vote on the petition
of nearly $4,000 qualified voters pro
posed amendment of the constitu-
ton for preventing the gerrymand
ering of senatorial districts. With
the State Senate under perpetual
control by Democratic politicians
and the Supreme Court made up
of six Democrats and one Republi
can there has been little chance to
escape partisan schemes. The
time has come, however, when the
hold of the partisan Democrats on
the high court can be broken. The
two Republican nominees for the
Supreme bench, John c. Brown of
Fredericktown and John Kennish
of Kansas City, r in every way
equal and in many particulars SUI
perior to the Democratic nominees
For the full term, to succeed HIM
self, Judge CAN'T, who has been on
the Supreme bench for twenty
years, is the Democratic candidate.
He is now 65 years old, has been
on the Democratic side of every
question that has had any political
shade to it all that time, and rep
resents the old, non-progressive
Bourbon spirit that has retarded
the growth and development of
the State. He is one of the four
Judges who sustained Roach in the
Senatorial re-districting case. He
has neither physical strength or
the new Missouri spirit required TO
another term Of ten years on the
bench. y
For a short term, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death
Of the late Chief Justice Fox, the
Democratic State Committee last
Saturday nominated Judge H. c.
Timmonds of Kansas City, who is
of the old Bourbon School of DEM
ocracy, and would follow the foot
steps Of the elderly Democratic
justices who have for 30 many year
determined the policy and the de-
cisions Of our high court. AS he
is a clean and able man it is to be
supposed that there ara no con-
misunderstanding under the sur
face. Governor Hadley remarked
in 1909 that there were more dis
tinguished Democratic politicians in
the lobby Of the legislature than in
the legislative body itself. The
same was true of the Democratic
State Committee meeting at st.
Louis last Saturday. Col. Phelps
and his former aids were there, and
busy.

rs DAVID r. FRANCIS SINCERE?
is JAMES A. REED sINCERE3
SHALL THIS QUESTION BE DETERMINED BY
WHAT THEY SAY. OR BY WHAT THE DOR

Hon. David R. Francis. a former governor of the state. is
telling the voters that he is against THE Interests"-corpora-
tons, trusts and monopolies that refuse to treat the people
Justly, and refuse to obey the laws of the state and nation.
AND YET-David R. Francis is a director of the United
Railways Company, which practically occupies the principal
streets and monopoizes street car traffic in st. Louis, and which
is one of many public service corporations owned and controlled
by one of the most gigantic syndicates In the world. He Is also
on close terms with the Terminal Association, a corporation
owned by the big railroad systems, and against which a suit is
now pending in the federal courts for violation OF the laws OF our
nation against combinations in restraint Of trade. He is con-
nected with more big corporations than any other man in the
state, and has more interests" to conserve than any man now
in the United States Senate. Is Mr.. Francis more sincere in his
public utterances concerning THE Interests than he 10 in his

DO YOU BELIEVE HE IsY
James A. Reed, a former mayor Of Kansas City, is telling
the voters OF the state that he Is against "The interests" that he
stands for laws to prevent combinations and corporations and
syndicates from interfering with honest competition and from
expressing the people-etc, etc.
AND YET-James A. Reed is a corporation lawyer. He has
been counsel for the most gigantic and least submissive monop
oily in Kansas City-the Metropolitan Street Railway Company;
a corporation that has held Kansas City by the throat for years,
and which tried last winter to induce the people OF that city to
extend Its franchise nine years before Its expiration, so As to get
a tighter grip on the streets and the street railway possibilities
of the city. Reed was back Of the effort. Night and day he
worked to put the scheme through. He aided in getting an order
of the council for a special election. He made speeches In public
halls on cold nights in favor of the proposition. So serious was
the situation that a committee of one hundred citizens was organ
lied to overcome the work done by Reed and his associates. The
proposition was defeated by an overwhelming majority and Rsed
was thus practically repudiated.

"The Interests" and the trusts and monopones than he was in
his business relations as counsel for the biggest interests and
monopolies of his home city?

BENEFICIARY WAS

SUIT TO COLLECT IN BEHALF OF
COUPLES CHILD A MOST
UNUSUAL ONE.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 21.-An
unusual suit was filed in the Chancery
Court today when the guardian of a
child of Dennis Hamilton sued the
Metropolitan Insurance Company to
collect an insurance policy of 1852
held on the life of Melissa Hamilton,
wife of Dennis. The latter killed his
wife and is now serving a twenty
year sentence for the crime. Melissa
Hamilton left the policy, which named
Dennis as beneficiary. The law pro
vides in such cases that the next Of
kin shall be entitled to the insurance.

Said That He Could Not Explain
How it occurred-cIerk's Records

The personnel Of the Asylum Inyus
tigating committee mas been changed
This discovery has just been made,
and it is up TO some person def in
! explanations to tell how it happened,
for so far no one has come forward
with the HOW.
/ The change is numerically a slight
one, as but one member has been sup
planted, by accident or otherwise. In
other words, by some peculiar circum-
stance, Esq. Hayes has been left off
and Esq. Fariss put on in his stead.
1t is agreed that either Esq. Hayes
or Esq Fayiss would fill the bill ac-
ceptably, and so far as can be found
neither of these gentlemen sought or
desired the honor But in the long
run both secured it.
When the county court authorized
its chairman to appoint committee
of five to Investigate conditions at the
county asylum it gave to that chair
man. Judge W. o. Gordon, unlimited
discretion in making the selections.
The day following the passage of this
resolution Judge Gordon authorized
the announcement that the committee
had been completed, and that its per;
sonnet was as follows: J. F. Brown
low, chairman; Esquires e. e. Erwin,
George Hayes and r. H. Guest and
Mr. Russell. 1t was not known until
this week, when the matter was
brought to the attention of Herald
representative, that Mr.. Hayes had
been left off and Esq Fariss substi-
tuted,
Judge Gordon, when interviewed by
The Herald reporter, appeared sur
prised and said: 81 certainly named
Mr.. Hayes as one of the committee,
and can't understand how he was left
off. l will probably appoint him any
way"

county when Trustee Elem Thomas,

the illness of Mr.. Stages the jury was
not empaneled, or the case called to
trial There were eighteen venire-
men summoned, this being the number
authorized under the law, which pro-
vides for three challenges on either
side.
Mr. Whitthorne in his oral opinion
cited the following law:
1.-The State Code. Section 5S45 ex-
pressly says: Tales jurymen shall
receive no compensation unless they
serve more than one day, in which
case they shall receive the same COM
pensation as regular jurymen. The
Acts of 1909, Chapter 337 says that
regular jurors shall receive $3.50 per
day as compensation and actual toll
provided they do not reside more than
ten miles distant, and if they reside
at a distance of more than ten miles
they shall receive four cents per mile
additional in lieu of tolls and ferriage.
1t is expressly provided that this law
does not repeal the law In reference
to tales jurymen who are to receive
same compensation as regular jurors
under condition of Sec. 5S45. In the case
at issue, the venlrement summoned,
had they served as jurors more than
one day would have been entitled to
the compensation provided for by law
But for veniremen who do not serve
there is no compensation whatever
provided, and to have paid veniremen
in this case would have been clearly
without warrant Of law
The law also provides that before
warrants are paid the list of jurors
must be certified to by the circuit
court clerk
