Some "Rotten" Crooks

Judge H. C. Gilbert Of the
county court of Jackson county
says that jackson county is in
tested with the rottenest bunch
of political crooks that ever put
foot on American SOIL"
This is broad indictment.
But, if Kansas City is like other
big cities, the Judge probably
told the truth to a certain de-
gree. Probably the crooEs may
be "as rotten" as any who ever
set foot on this soil but they
can't be worse than those who
afflict Chicago, New York and
other cities. Maybe Judge Gill
bert will start something that
will awaken the public conscience
| of all Missouri. He seems to be
almost alone in the fight, to start
with, which is a good sign in
this, that there must be quite a
few crooks in K. G. to work on,
or he would have the open and
above-board support Of more
men. Missouri is yet a victim to
politics" in the worse sense of
the term. Governor Majors re-
mark that he would rather be
known as a Man who rememb-
ers his friends" than any other
appellation, is to a degree a
fruit of this system. Gov.
Major is right in remembering
his friends, so long as they are
as capable of doing the peoples
work as others who are willing
to serve. Because the people
elect a man to Office, it is because
they trust him to do the right
thing by them. To remember
his friends, at the cost to the
people of the very best service
to be had of appointees, is hard.
ly right. 1t is the new way Of
saying TO the victor Belongs
the Spoils" a quotation put into
practical use first by Buchanan
in New York and was made axio.
matte. by Jackson. The spoils
system will hardly be entirely
abolished but the time is coming
when men must have, along will
their political pull, the ability Il
serve the people as well as thu
man without the pull.

Loves Money Lost

Randolph Wolf, of San Fran
cisco, gave his sweet heart, Irene
Kelly, a $500 diamond ring. He
soon missed it from her finger.
She gave him a pawn ticket and
he redeemed it for her. After
spending $500 in this love-mak-
ing fashion, he dropped the ring
in the bay and said whoever
wanted it could 60 down and re-
deem it.
Miss Kelly was furious and
swore out a warrant charging
him with grand larceny.
The Marceline authorities can
get power from the big power
plant at Keokuk if they desire it
and the consensus of opinion in
that town is that it is the best
move that can be made.
