WIFE DoUBLY HIS PARTNER
American Man Of Duolness Proud q
Accord Position to His Bet,
tor Hall.

There is one little incident connect
ed with Charles r. Flint's life which
shows US how some American men
place their wives on . pedestal in q
way that Is puzzling to foreigners
One night he invited a Russian dip
lomat to dine with him at home. the
invitation. which was an informal one
explaining that the dinner would be
small. in fact there would be no other
guests. only his Junior Partner"
The diplomat arrived punctually,
dressed in his official costume and
decorated with orders. He was ush.
cred into the drawins.room and shown
the trophies which Flint had brought
back from his many journeys around
the world. He is a collector and q
connoisseur, as well as a business
man. But no Junior Partner" ap.
peared.
The conversation was general, with
now and then q reference made by
Mr.. Flint to the Importance Of this
person. He confessed to the guest
that he never took an important busi-
ness step without first consulting his
partner, that he relied almost entirely
upon the judgment and sound advice
of the Junior Partner" Finally,
when he could longer refrain from
showing his curiosity, the Russian
looked at Mr.. and Mrs. Flint and
asked whom this mysterious person
was. F1int's reply was to make a
courtly bow to his wife and present
the foreign diplomat to his Junior
Partner Free Press.

| The small gain in population
Missouri has made in the past de
cade, as shown by the recent cen
sns report, is causing good dea
OF newspaper comment. The gen
eraI view of the matter being, that
the states present slow growth is
to be deprecated. We do not &C.
cepi the fact entirely upon this
basis, however, for we observe
that almost without exception,
growth in population is looked up
on as desirable from a commercial
standpoint alone, that we are ex-
pected to measure the gain of such
growth not as benefit of mum bers
but in the scale of profit to the in
dividual mbers of the communi-
ty that invariably follows increas-
ed production and consumption oc-
casioned by growth in population.
The welfare ofthe community yisheId
secondary and entirely contingent
upon the success and prosperity of
the individual member thereof,
This is, we believe, where our stu
dents of social science fall into
great error. Under the present
construction of human society rap
id increases in population any
where, and especially in our larger
cities, are attended with the con-
comitants of poverty, distress and
crime, and their economic waste.
That communities should show a
gain from natural accretion is de-
sirable, of course, and we would
rather applaud slow growth from
this source than rapid growth from
an outside and alien people. When
we reach that point in the science
of treating the welfare of human
masses from the standpoint of the
general instead of individual good,
we will not concern ourselves much
over the slow growth in popula-
ton. The happiness and pros
perity, the elimination of the evils
of our present massed communi-
ties, the raising of the standard of
intelligence of the nation and the
more equable distribution of wealth
created by social effort, would un-
der such conditions absorb our at
tentions. A utopian dream, you
say? Well, let it be so; but is it
not better than the nightmare of
our present day social organiza-
ton!

loot was SO great that the appro
priations of that Democratic con-
gress exceeded by forty or fifty
millions the appropriations of the
previous Republican congress our
Democratic friends had charged
with profigacy. Bro. Fisher of
the Times knows this, yet he pre-
tends Democracy is a sy nonym of
economy. The Democratic party
is lining up now for grand rush
to capture the pie counter, and
once at it economy may 90 hang in
the gorge Of the lean and hungry
horde. We will admit that there
is room for economy in public ex-
penditures at Washington, but we
fail to see safety in putting noted
spendthrift in charge of the job of
bringing it about.

What Happened.

Eighteen years ago, the Demo
Gratis preached tariff for revenne
and denounced the Republican doc
trine of Protection to American
labor, just as they are preaching
and denonncing now. Some Re,
publicans-a number sufficient to
make majority we're convinced
and the Democratic tariff for reve.
nue. was tried.
Business was demoraIized.
Millions of men were thrown out
of employment.
The farmers market was de-
stroyed.
Women and children went hun.
cry because the husbands and
fathers could not find work.
Men slept by night on the floors
in the corridors of city. halls, or in
hay stacks or barns, and by day
they walked the city streets or the
country highways pleading for the
privilege of working at any wage
or no wage except for something
to eat.
That was not very long ago.
When the Republican party
came back into power in 1897 and
the Democratic tariff for revenue
was wiped off the statute books,
when the benifcient policy of Pro
lection was again put into opera
tion, the condition of idleness and
and consequent want and misery
was quickly changed to industry
and prosperity and happiness,
which has since continued.
The Democrats ask the people to
try their scheme again.
1t is for You to say.

The Pennington Times says
'the Republican party has mort
gagged the government in the tu-
ture by profligate appropriations" "
Let US say that this is so, though
the statement cannot be said to be
strictly within the confines of the
truth, for it is a fact, that while
the Democrats have been in the
minority in Congress for many
years, the Democratic members
are the most rapacious in getting
profiigate appropriations for vari-
Gus pork. barrel schemes projected
by them. In aiding this loot cf
the minority the Republicans have
been guilty. We cite this instance
as being contemporaneous with the
Times criticism. Further, back
in the campaign of 1892 and in the
campaigns preceding that year,
the Democrats made the same
charge of profligacy in public ex.
penditure and protested that if
their party was only given the
power that economy would be in
stituted at once. After the elec.
ton of 1892 the Democratic party
was in complete power and forgot
at once its promises of reform in
the matter of extravagant appro.
priations, and the party's lust for

man Nipper's advertisement con.
tanning five questions on the tar.
itf issue upon which an un-
equivocal reply from Mr.. W. l..
Hensley, the Democratic nominee
was solicited, which had been sub
mitted to all the papers in the dis
trlct, regardless of their political
atfiliation. Only one Democratic
paper, the Ironton Register, pub
lished the ad and made frank
and consistent statement upon it
that if it had to answer the ques-
tions it would say mo to each
one. We want to say that it pleased
us to see that there is one Demo
cratic editor in the district honest
enough to state his conviction on
the tariff question with uncontro-
vertible directness. All the other
Democratic papers that noticed,
but did not print the ad, shift
about as to how the questions ask
ed by Mr.. Nipper should appeal
to Mr.. Hensley, Most of them
stigmatize it as little political trick
cry, which is a fair sample of how
far the mental capacity of those
editors can rise above the mean
little politics of their own party.
There is nothing mean or under
hand in the five questions, but only
one of our Democratic brethren of
the press is broad enough between
the eyes to see it.

Wisconsin Republicans recog-
nize the growth of socialistic senti.
mont by making their state plat.
folm m as socialistic as possible and
still remain Republicans. We be-
Iieve this will be the general trend
of Republican policies after the
next election if the Democratic
party should be generally success
full and secure control of congress,
as they believe they will. Nothing
in the way of social progress can
be hoped for from that party how
eyer. If it gets back into power
it will at once be dominated by the
interests from which the Repnbli-
can party is trying to gravitate by
the natural attraction of the high
er policy of governing the country
for the people instead of for Big
Business. That is what the Wis
consin Republican platform holds
out, it is the course Roosevelt is
trimming his sails TO, it is in line
with the trend of our own thoughts
for years before such a policy was
even held to be acceptable as Re-
publican doctrine. The tariff
question has really nothing to do
with the pursuit of this policy ex-
cept to befog it. The policy of
protection will remain an institu-
ton Of our country as long as we
are a manufacturing nation, let
what party may rule. What we
want to seek is way of getting
