Obituary.

The white winged messenger was
again sent in our midst TO pluck a
jewel for the Masters Crown. He
came with noisless tread, almost before
we were aware had fulfilled his miss
ion and winged his way back to the
City Of Gold, with the soul Oh little
Arno, Infant son OF Geotge Monroe
and wife, OF Proctor Mo. What ten
der ties were broken by his coming,
and how sad and desolate the hearts
were left in the home. The little
footsteps:scan be heard no more for
baby is gone. Still we know that
God Doeth all things well, and if we
live right we shall meet again. Little
Arno was one year six months and
one day old. There is another tie in
Heaven, another Angel in the spiri,
world reckoning come. Weep no,
dear parents and grandpa for little
Arno is at rest.
4 precious from US is gone
A voice we loved is stilief
A place is vacant in, Our home
Which never can be filed.

Well, u Democratic friends have
started in at Baltimore just about the
same way we did at Chicago and be-
gin to see how it goes. The old line
fellows, in other words, the Demo-
cratic National Committee, rolled
Brother Bryan in fine shape, sitting
down on him to the tune of $40 to
506 and elected Parker temporary
chairman Of the convention. Mr..
Bryan tried hard TO get some other
prominent progressive started in the
race, but when he failed, he allowed
hi, own name presented and made
the fight, losing as above stated.
When a person comes up against a
National Comittee, organized, polled
and lined up, he comes up against a
stone wall, with no openings left to
get through. The wishes and de-
mands OF the people at large may
change, but the old "stand-ps tters"
who have been standing at the pub
he crib" SO long, are moi going to be
horned of Is they can help themselves
and they seem to be able to do very
well. When the National fpmmit,ee
sits down on a proposition, tlfere ie
not much use kicking over the races
and getting one leg over the to-rue
alter that. Every com nit,ee after
tina, is but the oh-sIAing of the N,.-
ional Committee and the only way tt
charge things is to change the com
mittee. lhere is the largest inde,
pendent vote IN this country today i
has c or hal. that will not submit
long To the dictates Of a few men VIII
do not represent o stand for poi
cies that a majority Of the pcopl
want. Good old Abragam, lJncol
never said a truer thing than when h.

people all the time and all the pcopl
a part Of the ii ne, but you can rc
, fool ali Of the peopl. all the tine"

and time again that this was being
done without any regard to the mer-
its Of justice in the case. The deleg-
ates seated would have stood no show
in their districts in a fair primary and
the President would not have allowed
the test to be made under any condi-
tons, if such could have been done.
1t was a clear case Of MIGHT over
RIGHT. A case in which the decis-
ions we're made ahead and what was
done at the convention was more a
matter Of form than anything else.
Thousands Of people all over the co.
untry were for Roosevelt, not because
they had any thing against the Presi-
dent especially, for he HAS shown
much wisdom as President during his
administration along many lines, but
because under existing conditions.
they believed Col. Roosevelt the mar
who would benefit the largest number
and be of NEST use to the country at
large. Whatever the reason might be.
there is one thing sure, which is this,
the majority ought o rule and they
WILL rule. There may be times
when certain conditions enable a few
men to crowd things down the throats
Of the. majority, that they have to
swallow against their inclinations and
wishes, but they don't have to keep
swallowing. This was tried or the
Republicans in Kansas when that
party had a clear majority Of $4,000
and they woke up n morning to find
a Democrat elected Governor. The
Missourians have had the same exper-
fence, only on the other side. Many
other states hav. also gone through
the same fire and while it is to be
hoped that the injustice done at Chi
cago may not change the politics Of
the country, for the SAKE Of the CO.
untry, yet it leaves lots of room fol-
argument. Every good Republican
regrets the big muss we got into up
there and hopes that in some way
good may come. There is talk Of
course, of a third party. 1t may come.
or it may not come. The Republicans
Of this great country have usually
done the right thing and SO far have
had the confidence and held the faith
Of the voters of the country, and we
believe that NOW, after full consider
alton the right thing will be determin-
ed on and the right will prevail.

The Statesman seems to think that
the country voter has it in TOR Versaill-
es. We do not believe this for there
is no reason why they should have.
We know that the very best element
among our people do not feel this
way. Now and then there may be
some fellow who has been carrying a
chip on his shoulder right along, that
may think he has a %"grievean ce"
against the county-scat. It's not gen.
eral. The people of Versailles have
done nothing to incur the i'll will Of
the country voter. Nearly all the
hard work in every campaign and
about all the money raised has been
done by Versailles. Money was rails
ed continuously, when the county
seemed almost hopelessly Democratic
and the Republicans at Versailles
never faltered in the fight. They are
still fighting today and will do just as
much work for the country candidate
as for the mar in town. No i'll feel
ing should exist, there is no reason
tor it and the Republicans all over the
county, without regard to location
should all pull together for the success
of the party.

While Governor Hadley did not &c
what he was fighting for at Chicago
and what he should have had, and
what the country At large should have
had, he did n thing. He convin-
ced the county that as an executive
officer and fighter Of all round good
judgment, be has few equals. His
management Of the Roosevelt forces
was perfect and his ability and good
generalship IS shown on the floor Of
the convention, commended him to
every one and made every loyal
M%issourian prouder Of our young Gov.
He was insistently importuned to
make a stand for President and there
is no question but what the conven.
ton could have been stampeded to
him at one time, in fact it vas believ-
ed that his acceptance would have
settled the whole troublesome ques-
ton. However his loyalty to those
he wished to help, made him stand
firm and the convention closed with
him still fighting for his friends and for
those whom he wished to help.
Missouri may not get what she wants
every time, but there is one thing, we
are proud Of our Governor and the fine
record he has made all along the line.
