price.
But there are rapidly coming to be
an ever increasing number of citi-
zens, throughout the country, who are
of the opinion that the gigantic cor
porations already hold entirely too
much power in governmental matters,
and who are in favor of shearing
them of all special courtesies which
they have SO long enjoyed. 1t is to
these plain people, whose vote counts
as much as that of the most powerful
capitalist, that The Times was appeal

The fight is declared to have been
entirely local, but the bolt Of the
Prendergrast crowd gives the cleo

score a Democratic victory for the
National and State ticket next No

Hon. Edward Robb, of Perryville,
spent Friday and Saturday in Farm
ington, meeting with many old
friends. Mr.. Robb represented the
Thirteenth District in Congress five
consecutive terms, retiring from that
body about ten years ago. While in
Congress he was reckoned as one of
the brainiest members of that. as
semblage, and was very popular
throughout the District. His mission
here at this time was to feel out the
sentiment tina exiss, and he will Wis
it every county in the District on his
present trip. His home county of
Perry recently strongly endorsed him
as its candidate for Congress, and
brought the strongest possible pres
sure to bear to induce him to enter
the race this year. Before making up
his mind, however, he decided to make
a trip over the district and carefully
diagnose the pulse of the people.
While here he said that he would soon
decide whether or not he would enter
the race, and would Immediately let
the people know his decision.

Major Jost of Kansas City was de-
feated for reelection last Tuesday by
his Republican opponent, Geo. H.
Edwards, by about 10000 majority.
His defeat was the result of faction
al quarrel of long standing between
two leading Democrats of that city,
Shannon and Prendergast, and their
particular crowds. Prendergast had
boosted That he intended Ito roll
Shannon" by preventing Jost's re-
election, and it seems that he made
his boast effective through general
bolt Of his followers. The election is
said to have been the bitterest ever
fought in this State, and hundreds of
arrests were made during the day.

THE BIG TEETH

To the distorted vision of Colonel
Roosevelt, President Wilson's admin
istration hasn't a single redeeming
feature. Mr.. Wilson's foreign policy
and diplomatic exchanges with the
European foreign nations, as well as
with the unfortunate revolution-torn
Republic on our southern border, are
alike condemned in most Incorporate
language, of which the Colonel is a
post graduate. There is nothing re-
markable about this, however, as he
never sees anything worthy common
dation outside an exaggerated 81"
that looks as big to him as light
| house.
1t requires little discernment and
less judgment in one, who recognizes
no responsibility, to condemn with
wholesale fault-fnding the acts and
accomplishments of others. But it
convicts him of lacking in those ele-
ments of fairness and broadness of
mind essential in dealing with nation
al affairs involving the honor, welfare
and peace of a people.
The only inference to be drawn
from such reckless and extravagant
jeremiads is, that their author would,
if the authority were in his hands,
have done just the opposite of the
things Of which he so loudly walls.
Suppose Mr.. Wilson had been of the
same frame of mind as that in which
the Colonel revels, what would be the
condition of our country today? At
peace-or war, with all it's democrat
izing and destructive forces?
Colonel Roosevelt, with his extra
vaganza of mind and language and
abnormally developed ego, leaves no
one in doubt that had he been in Mr..
Wilson's place he would have display
ed recklessness that would have in
volved us in the European war, prob
ably as an ally of England, and start
ed us on an aggressive invasion and
conquest of Mexico. The people of
the United States have good reason
for thankfulness that a wise, cool
headed, peace-loving but firm states
man is now at the head of our gov
eminent, instead of man whose ov-
erwrought temperament, with no sane
appreciation of responsibility and dis
erection, can be satisfied only in the
pitch of excitement and in playing the
dramatic and heroic.
This judgment of the Colonel is
justified by his attitude and language,
for he goes no further than vitupera-
tive criticism. Vindictively condemn
ing, he has no enlightening policy to
offer in place of that which he dis
Improves. His is not conservative |
but an iconoclastic nature. He would
be President again. He would have
the Republican party and the Pro-
gressive offshoot of that party call |
him from his restless position of
statesman out of job, as the only
and onliest american" fitted to adorn
the Executive Chair of the nation;
and yet he has no defined platform,
no clear-cut policy that he would car
ry out, no vision of great peace in
spring nation-only himself, a red
blooded, heroic, selfworshiping l.
The picture is not pleasant one
for a nation that prides itself on its
democracy.

Senator Walsh of Montana. in sun

Senator Walsh of Montana, in sum-
ming up the investigation that has
been made into the character of Louis
d. Branches, whose nomination by
President Wilson to the Supreme
Bench has been hanging fire in the
Senate, says: "The real crime of
which this man is guilty is that he
has exposed the iniquities of men in
high places in our financial system.
He has not stood in awe of the majes-
ty Of wealth."

BRO. WOLPERS RUFFLED

The Bonnie Terre Register, Repub-
lican paper, took exceptions in last
weeks issue to the suggestion of
warning, that recently appeared in
this paper, against nominating any
man for Office on the Democratic tick
ct, who was either in the employ or
pensioner of any of the lead com
panies. Really we did not expect
such suggestion to meet the approx
al either of the lead companies or
their employees; therefore, we will for
give you for that, Mr.. Register. But
you certainly got your dates some
what mixed when you likened the
matter of Office holding to that of
voting. If you viii search the Fed
eral or State Constitution you will
find that the right of franchise is
guaranteed to every American citi-
zen, though neither of such documents
guarantees an office to anyone.
The question of running for, or
holding Office, is entirely in the hands
of political parties, and as party
member, even you, Bro. Wolpers,
would have the right to offer any sug-
gestion you deemed worthy for your
party's consideration. We do not
mean to imply by this that you would
do such thing, however, as such
suggestions usually come from the
free and unhampered, and not from

The State Republican Convention to
elect the "big four" delegates to the
Chicago Convention met at Excelsior
Springs yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, with the clouds lowering for
a stormy time. AS in the Democratic
State Convention, the row is over the
election of National Committeeman.
Mayor Kiel of st. Louis and his as
sociates openly refuse to support
Thomas X. Niedringhaus for re-elec-
ton, and have placed State Commit
tee Chairman j. L. Babler to the
front to oppose him, with the boast
that they will deliver to Babler at
least It's of the 247 st. Louis dele
gates. Walter s. Dickey, candidate
for U. s. Senator, according to the
plan, is to deliver the Kansas City
delegation to Babler. 1t promises to
be bitter fight, overshadowing the
election of National delegates, and
the result will probably change the
status of several candidates for Gov
ernor.

1t was announced in the House Of
Commons few days ago that the
war is now costing Great Britain
$25,00O,OOO a day, and that the ma
tional debt has swelled to the enor-
nous proportions of Sill, 100000 900
(eleven billion seven hundred million) j..
The cost to the other belligerent ma
lions is lowering around these figures.
If the war continues much longer
bankruptcy must follow and a still
sharper grinding of the faces of the

port the mobility" and their royal
masters, while the blood of the thou
sands whose lives have been sacri-
ficed-and for hat?-cries unto
heaven.
