The Republican Convention.

After frittering away the week until
Saturday night fighting in the conyen-
ton to abolish the steam roller tactics
adopted by the national committee,
and re.adopted by the organization in
the convention, the nomination of Taft
and Sherman was put over by a vote Of:
Taft sol, Roosevelt l07, LaFollette
Al, Cummins II, Hughes Q, absent 6,
present but not voting 344. For
vice president Sherman received 597
votes on the first ballot.
The Roosevelt supporters held con,
ference, but no convention, after the
nomination was made, and decided 10
call mass convention Of all progressiyes
Of all parties to meet in August and
nominate progressive ticket.
We are Of the opinion that this will
not accomplish much, and so far as we
are concerned shall abide by the de-
cision Of the national convention at
Chicago. The writer has thought and
said all the time that if it were left tc
choice Of the people, Roosevelt
would be the nominee Of the party
but as it was not allowed to 20 tha
| way we believe it is the best thing t.
] stay with the party and to do what W,
can 10 elect The regular nominees.

Home Rule Police Bill.

Missouri republicans have never ap-
proved the system Of governing the
police Of the big cities through boards
appointed by the governor. That sys-
TEN is at variance with the doctrine Of
home rule and is dangerous because it
places the policemen of the cities at
the mercy Of the governor and makes
them feel that they must aid his friends
politically. Under such a governor as
Hadley this danger is not feared, but
in times past it has not only been feared
but actually developed 10 such an eX-
tent as to thwart the will Of the people
and to create the most offensive polit-
ical machines ever developed in this
or any other state. In St. Louis nota-
bly, the police force was used for years
by election crooks, and policemen act
ually assaulted honest voters instead ot
protecting them. These same ap'
pointees Of democratic governors per
mitted democratic campaign commit
tees 10 levy heavy assessments upon
policemen and police department EN-
ployes, and these assessments were
collected by one Of the heads OF the
department. No man on the pay roll
Of the department dared to refuse pay
ment and it was rare case indeed Ia
find any man in the department who
could not prove his loyalty to the demo
cratic machine. The same conditions
existed in Kansas City and in St, Jo'
seph, though perhaps less openly.
How to turn the police departments
back to the cities without placing them
at the mercy Of municipal politicians is
a difficult problem. The plan Of the
proposed home rule police bill to be
submitted 10 vote iu November is to
provide for but one police commissioner
III each city, instead Of a board, and to
make him subject to appointment and
to removal by the mayor, and subject
to removal by the governor Tor any

Those Home Rule Bills.

The home rule bills to be submitted
to the people for enactment in Novem
Der provide simply for the abolition Of
the police and excise boards for St.
Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph, now
appointed by the governor, and the
substitution Of single police com
missioner and a single excise com
missioner therefor when the people Of
either Of those cities feel disposed to
make the change. Such commission
ers are to be appointed by the mayor
but are to be Inject to removal by the
governor OF the mayor, without trial,
for good cause publicly stated. This
provision will prevent such commission
ers from becoming lax in the enforce
ment of law.
The police commissioner in ST. Louis,
Ior instance, will be the general'in-chiei
Of the police army and the executive
head Of the police department. Any
attempt to use the department for po-
litical purposes or to make a machine
Of it, or any failure to enforce law, pre-
serve order and maintain the general
efficiency Of the department will make
him liable TO dismissal The excise
commissioner will have exclusive au-
thority 10 grant dramShop licences, to
compel the payment Of the license tax
and to enforce the dramshop laws.
The Dill does not in any wise change
the laws Of the state or the ordinances
Of city relating TO saloons or the sale Of
| liquors; nor does it in any way change
or interfere with the Sunday law. An
excise commissioner in either city who
should fail to keep the lid" on OF
otherwise permit the violation Of liquor
laws will be subject tu immediate dis.
missal without ceremony.

failure to enforce state laws or for any
other derelsction Of duty. And to
make the policemen independent oI
political influences or antagorisms It is
proposed to put them under a civil ser
vice system so they may be appointed
and promoted for merit instead Of polit-
ical or partisan favor. This plan will
take them out Of politics and keep
them out. The proposed measure has
the approval Of patriotic, safe and
thoughtful citizens who have studied
the policing Of large cities, And it is
a genuine home rule proposition, too,
The Major-Roach gerymander Of
senatorial districts having been knocked
clear OF the ropes and forever put to
sleep the democratic leaders have no
redistrictinR proposition before the peo'
pie. The bill prepared under the aus
pices OF the republican state committee
provides for an arrangement Of districts
in strict conformity with the require
ments Of the constitution and with a
view to fair and equal representation
politically. II this bill is adopted the
senatorial districts will be compact, not
made up Of counties strung together
with one merely touching another.
Travel within the districts will be made
convenient. One will not have to
cross an adjoining district to get to a
county within his own district. The
population Of each district is as near
the average Of 10000 as possible in
grouping counties contiguously. 1t is
fair, equitable and non partisan ar
rangement. 1t gives the democrats
twelve and the republicans twelve Of
the districts outside Of St. Louis and
Kansas City. The city districts must
be laid out by circuit judges.

Pay {. You Stop.

Paw as Won 90 is good rule TO lol'
lowand if you can't pay don't go.
But pay as you step is moral, !esa! and
necessary rule if you receive news
paper or other publication by mail
regularly for a period Of time, no mat
ter whether you have ordered it YER
bally or in writing. The acceptance
Of a publication delivered at regular
intervals through the mails is an i'm,
piled acceptance Of Indebtedness iorit,
and the courts have held that such an
Indebtedness is collectable at law,
There have been numerous decisions
to that effect. In Atchison county
lately the editor Of the RockpoIt Mail
was awarded, BY jury, judgement
for S24 against a subscriber who had
received his paper for sixteen years,
but had several times asked that it be
stopped. He had persstently refused,
however, 10 pay for the copies he had
received. Had he, at any time during
the sixteen years, paid his debt to the
paper and ordered it stopped the pub
Usher could not have collected for sub
sequent copies mailed to his address.
That is the law concerning liability for
newspapers regularly mailed and reg
ularly received,
Pay as you stop" is arulc concern
ing liability Of subscribers firmly
established rule. 1t has been the rule
and the law for many years. So well
established is this rule that the post
Office department has taken cognlzance
Of it, and in order to protect the re
cipiant OF newspaper publications from
imposition on the part Of publishers,
who might take advantage Of this rule
TO force readers to pay for papers they
do not care for, the congress has au-
thorized a postal rule that iorbids the
mailing OF a newspaper to any person
who owes more than one years sub
scription. This rule, however, does
not apply to Indebtedness incurred be
fore its adoption; nor does it invalidate
the debt to the publisher Of sub
scriber or recipient Of a newspaper.
1t is the duty of any person TO whoma
newspaper is regularly addressed, it he
does not wish it, TO refuse to receive it
from the post Office. When this is
done the postmaster is required to
notify the publisher, who may then
proceed to collect any amount due and
unpaid by the subscriber. Few de-
linquents use this method Of stopping
the paper" without paying for it, be-
cause it is dishonest and unfair
method Of escaping a liability. When
the subscribers liability has been paid
and he thus refuses TO recerve the
newspaper, the notice Of the postmaster
to the publisher stops all further claim
upon the subscriber. AS a rule the
most successful newspapers are those
that require payment in advance and
those who pay in advance are, as a rule,
the most appreciatiye and the most
permanent subscribers.

the doubted delegates again failed by
a narrow margin. Then followed the
selection Of convention committees and
a long and tedious period Of waiting
for their reports. Nothing was done
by the convention on Thursday, II
was not until Friday that another ses
sion was held, By that time conditions
had changed radically, the attitude Of
numerous delegates had changed, the
determination Of Col. Roosevelt not to
recognize the authority Of the conven'
ton as long as certain doubted dele
gates were seated and permitted to vote
in it mad been announced, new can
didates for the nomination had been
proposed and no one could intelligent
ly forecast what might happen.
What did happen is now a matter Of
common information. 1t may we'll be
said that such a critical situation is not
likely ever to confront the party again.
And it may also be safely said that the
old practice Of seating delegates on ac-
count Of their presidential preference
rather than on the merits Of their claims
to recognition will no longer be toler,
ated, whether by national, state or dis
trict committee. The practice has
too long been tolerated. 1t has no
justification and never has had. The
people will make the steam roller"
so odious that no man who respects
himself or cares for the success Of his
party will dare touch it again. No
matter who invented il, who has here
tofore used it or what may be said in
its favor, it is not for a moment ap
proved by honest republicans and they
will hereafter damn any man who ap'
proves it or attempts 10 use it.

Republican National Convention.


Last week was the most notable in
the history Of the republican party, 1t
developed the fact that there are Cor
were) two we'll organized and deter
mined factions in the party, each seek,
ing to control ii. The regulars"
advocating the nomination Of Taft and
the "progressives," demanding the
nomination Of Roosevelt, created sit.
uation that even the wisest and truest
party leaders seemed unable to cope
with. The action Of the national com
mittee in seating number OF contesting
and contested Taft delegates whose
claims to seats in the convention were
Of a fimsy nature nature, to say the
least Of it, and the fact that these del
egates made the TAFT and Roosevelt
forces, on the Temporary roll, almost
equal, brought about dangerous sit
uation and created the bitterest feeling.
Before the convention met at noon on
the 18th the danger OF a revolt, and
even Of riotipg, was so imminent that
extraordinary precautions were taken
to preserve order in the con
vention hall. When the delegates as
sembled they confronted more police
men and armed detectives around the
platform than statesmen uponit. Such
a spectacle was grievous to hundreds
OF peaceable, orderly men who assem-.
bled as properly accredited delegates
to a republican national convention,
representing honest, patriotic and de,
voted constituencies. They looked
on with amazement and felt ashamed
Of their party. OF course each side
laid the blame on the other, but that
did not change or justify the situation.
When a national republican convention
cannot assemble without the protection
of an armed force almost as numerous
as delegates something is radically
wrong-and somebody is to be helC
responsible.
On account Of the determination o
the Roosevelt forces that delegates
whose right to sit in the convention
was under serious doubt should no
vote in their own behalf, and thl
equally determined attitude Of the Tai
forces that such delegates should paI
ticipate in all Of the preIiminaries, in
cluding the selection Of a temporar
chairman, matters looked exuemel
doubtful and critical; and even aite
the convention, by close vote (ir
GLIDING the votes Of the doubtful de
egates) had elected a temporary o.
ganization, placing Senator Root in tn
chair, the question again came up 0
the second day and produced the mo
intense feeling. At one time il locke
like a stampede was imminent. Br
order was restored and preserved an
the effort Of Roosevelt leaders to on
