Republican Rule in Missouri.


II republican rule stands for more
in any one state than it does in
others, that state is Missouri. There
1t means not only a change from the
political policies of the democratic to
the republican party, but a change
from old and antiquated economic
methods to new and modern ones. In
this respect the transition has been
nothing short of revolutionary. The
results are so marked and tangible
that IL would seem impossible for the
people to turn away from a party that
had produced them.
For forty years the democrats ruled
Missouri completely and in that time
Missouri's lack of progress became
automatic. A state with as fertile soil
and as fine natural resources as can be
found, with ample territory for new
settlers, practically no movement was
carried on to increase the population
and develop the country. Missouri
is one of the three states which the
oboIioNANidhD says IL
isolated from the rest of the world,
become self-sustaining, because 1t
has within its borders all the neces-
sary mineral, vegetable and animal
resources.
But in these forty years of UNI
broken Bourbon reign all this was
either unknown or ignored by those
ruling in Missouri. 1t was enough II
the democrats, crying the slogan of
low taxes and cheaply maintained
state institutions, could get the en-
dorsement, especially of the country
man, for another lease of office.
They did not tell the voters, nor did
the voters take the time to consider,
that low taxes and cheap government
meant backwardness and poor govern
ment So when the republicans came
into power with Governor Hadley at
the head of the state administration.
they faced the need and opportunity
for tremendous improvement. And
be 1t said to their credit, they en-
braced the opportunity and are sup
plying the need.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat's
Jefferson City correspondent presents
very formidable showing for the re-
publicans thus far, and what they
have done above all else is to arouse
Missouri from it's sleep OF four dec
AIDES. This must surely mean that,
even though they should return to
democracy, the people would never
again return to democracy's old sys-
tenn. In the array OF modern move
ments that have been started are good
roads, waterway improvement, recla-
nation of swamp land, intensive
farming, inducing greater population
and the raising standards of elee-
mosynary institutions. Not one of
these, we might say, is political in
character, or could not have been
brought about by one party or an
other. The fact is, however, that
the democratic party, though given
forty years of continuous trial, did
nothing and left all to be instituted
under a republican governor.

OPERATING THE CANAL.
How Will Uncle Sam Manage the Big
Ditch When Donet

| Cleveland Leader.
Now that the successful completion of the
Panama canal is in sight the question
arises: What shall be done with IT. In
other words: How shall IL be operated?
The question is undoubtedly a more diff
fcult one than the average American who
has not seen this great engineering work
realizes. Colonel Goethals, to whose pro-
fessional and executive ability is due much
or the success of the undertaking, insists
that 1t should be taken up at once and set
tied. He is strongly of the belief that the
permanent force of operatives should be
selected from the men now engaged in the
construction work, And as but little pro-
gress was made and much money wasted
before one man was given supreme au-
thority there, he urges that this system be
continued after the canal is finished.
The permanent establishment of one-nan
power in the canal zone seems un-Amerioan.
but Colonel Gothals advances reasons to
show that 1t is the most practical method
to adopt II the United States wishes to
avoid financial loss and damage to the
waterway. He takes the position that by
this method the canal can, without in
justice to anybody, return the 1916 600 900
spent in its construction and that 1t should
be made to do so.
Colonel Roosevelt strongly backs up this
view and makes known his conviction that
the best man to entrust with supreme
power in the operation OF the canal is the
one who has been given supreme power In
the building OF it-Colonel Goethals himself
The question must be settled and the
sooner the better One-man power, except
In cases OF emergency. can not In itself
hope to meet with much favor. But the
situation is peculiar one and the views of
such men as Goethals and Roosevelt must
necessarily command careful attention. 1t
Is something for everyb body to think about

Alma Record. The Bloomington Advo-
cate remarks that III the taxes are a
little higher than last year it must be
blamed upon the late democratic legisla-
ture, which passed so many large appropria-
ton bills that it has necessitated raising
the state levy from mills to 81
mills. The expenses created by the
late legislature were larger than any
previous one for years" The taxpayers are
getting what they voted for. The demo-
Gratis are always long on theories, but
short on practice. Low taxes and economy
is their battle cry, but thus far tney have
in every instance failed to deliver the
goods. Play safe by voting the republican
ticket.
Columbus Telegram: The sentiment
which created our Nebraska primary law
was based upon the plea that under the
primary system the masses OF the people
could dictate the party nominations thus
knocking the political machines out Of
business in this state Several times the
Nebraska primary law has been amended
and improved and now it il said to meet
the full approval of all primary advocates.
Theoretically, the people will absolutely
dictate all the state and county nominal
tons to be made. That is to say, the
masses Of the voters will flock TO the
primaries and defeat every scheme pro-
posed by the machine politicians in their
efforts to secure the nomination OF candi-
dates who will betray the people and use
their official positions to aid the big cor
porations which seek favors at official
hands We shall see how It works. The
Telegram believes in the principle Of the
primary, but we assert that the primary
system will be no better than the old con-
vention system unless the masses of voters
can be induced to participate in the
primaries.

Joke on the Judges.

No side of the primary campaign
just closed is more humorous than a
joke pulled cff on the district judges
by the local yellow that has marked
two of them for slaughter. This
particular scandal sheet has been the
special pet and beneficiary of these
judges. The entire machinery of the
Juvenile court has for years been
placed at its disposal to awe and coerce
every newsboy on the street into extra
effort to help In it's dissemination
under penalty of the displeasure OF
the court officers. AS a consequence,
we have had the sublime spectacle of
judicial machinery designed to reform
the youth and keep 1t from contamina-
ton, being misused to pollute the
stream at it's fountain head by circu-
lating a lurid police gazette calculated
to stimulate crime and set out ex-
amples of vice for these boys to imi-
tate. And now the pest has come
back to bite the distinguished judges
by whose hands it was being fed and
nourished. This certainly is a rare
joke on the judges.

Army Bakeries in Texas.

The experience OF the subsistence off,
GERS of the army with the maneuver d.
vision in Texas has enabled them to
recommend certain changes in the organi-
cation Of field bakeries. There will be
established what is known as a bakery
unit consisting of certain equipment and
specified number of men. Three OF these
units will compose a section and four sec
tons Of twelve units in the aggregate will
compose field bakery. BY this means It
will be possible to assemble field bakeries
and fractional parts consisting Of so many
sections and units as may be necessary
for command in the field. The mohiliza-
ton of troops in Texas has also afforded
an excellent opportunity to further test
the new haversack ration and the emer-
gency ration. Nothing definite from an
official source has yet been sent to the
War department on the subject of these ra-
lions which have been established to meet
special conditions in the field. The chief
commissary of the maneuver division
Major H. e. Wilkins, of the subsistence
department will in due time make a full
report OF the work OF his department con-
corning which the unofficial comments,
which have reached Washington. have been
most favorable.

The Foreign Sny.


The newspapers have had a joyous time
during the last week with a story which
alleged with much specification that an
enlisted man of the One Hundred and Thir-
ty-fifth company of coast artillery, sta
toned at Fort Totten, N. Y, was a spy in
| the employ of the Austrian government.
| The information came by way of Indian
apois and was derived from a young
woman Of Philpot, KY, who is, or was,
| engaged to the soldier and who by that
means came to know of his royal lineage
and his secret mission for it appeared in
addition to being a spy he was a count in
disguise. These stories are not taken seri-
ously at the War department. In the first
place, the real spy is not likely to disclose
his identity or make known to any one
his object In the second place, there is
| nothing to he gained in the way of informa-
ton by enlisting in the United States army
and navy. All the statistics and other mill
| tary data obtainable by an enlisted man
are accessible to almost any one who cares
for the information. In the meantime, the
diplomatic representatives of Austria in
this country have taken up the matter with
their government to ascertain IL there is
any hayward member of the titled Aus
trian house who is wandering around the
earth and likely to represent himself as a
spy.

ject which has been long under discussion
and was the occasion of much investiga-

to do with the new equipment OF infantry

made to reconcile the recommendations in

best possible way the demands upon that
