To the Democrats OF the State:

To the Democrats OF the State:
I am candidate for governor, sub
, ject to tie will of the democratic
voters at the August primary. MY
candidacy is based on the conviction
that the people want the man who
has best prepared himself to render
service.
In a position second only to that of
the gevernorship in Importance, /
have made record, the honesty, eff
ficiency and wofthiness of which, af-
ter thorough investigation, even par
tisan opponents concede. All who
have business with me know that am
always found son the job.n Election
figures of 1908 and ~ testify to the
extensive acquaintanceship between
me and the voters, whose friendship
on both occasions honored me with
leading majorities.
/ am not the cham pion of any class
or industry. BY the help of the peo-
pie ofall callings expect to win. /
have no fad to exploit, hobby to ride,
nor panacea to offer in an attempt
TO fool this or that element into yield
ing support; nor have | money to in
fuerce any in my favor. All offer is
solemn pledge to render. honest and
efficient service. That promise to all
alike give in good faith, and point
to what have done as the best evil
dence of what I shall do.
Democrats and republicans compos-
ing the special investigating COM
mitteee unanimously commended my
business ability, efficiency and econ
omy, they when reported that I had
conducted the State Department, dur
ing my first term, for $77 100000 less
than my predecessor-did his term, and
made the office earnings $22,0O0.OO
greater; that during the first two
years of my second term, made the
Office earn as much as itslargest earn
ings for any four years prior to my
incumbency; and that they.could not
make suggestion that would better
the service to the public or giveit at
less expense. This is the kind Of
economy and business ability | shall
exercise as governor.
Proposed legislation promising spe-
cial privilege, if not bribery, is dem
agogical, and unbecoming any man
big enough for the States highest Of
fee. Vaudeville stunts for the cheap
purpose Of catching popular fancy are
more fitting on the stage than on the
forum. The demagogue's success is
already too much in evidence in the
law books, and too frequent changes
in law disturb business. The simple
duties of honest enforcement and
faithful administration OF law are
\ more needed than new legislation.
The States achievements are the
kwork of the Democratic Party. Mis-
Jsouri's worthy activities as directed
by the Party will continue to keep the
State In the front rank OF American
commonwealths Missouri under dem.
ocratic leadership has always been
and is now the best and most econom-
ically governed State in the Union.

Washington.-Leg islation has been
and continues TO be a loiterer this
winter The administration, the house
and the senate, to say nothing of per-
sons outside of both, have been en-
gagged in one gigantic guessing con-
test concerning the final form to be
taken on by legislation of Importance.
The prophets business has been an
arduous and a precarious one this
year. Comparatively few of the fore
casters are justified in claiming that
they are prophets with honor in their
own country. The reason for the ut
ter inability of the administration or
of the leaders in either house of con-
gress to foretell results, with anything
like certainty that their words will be
fulfilled, is that the members of
house and senate irrespective of party
lines have been divided among them
selves upon nearly all the greater
questions of the winter. 1t has been
impossible for the leaders of either
party in either house to learn definite
ly just what following he could count
upon in advocacy or in opposition to
any of the more commanding meas
ures of legislation.

was enough to distract the minds of
men who tried to get any Logical de-
auctions from the course OF affairs
and from the final vote.
The same condition eff things was
true in the house when the McLemore

whether they will break away and

The Preparedness Bills.

Take the preparedness bills for in
stance. During the preliminaries OF
the framing of preparedness bills in
house and senate the two committees
of the two bodies charged with the
work of preparing legislation were
shown to be completely at odds with
each other on the matter of the proper
handling of the subject in hand The
chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs wanted continental
army such as had been suggested by
the administration. The leader of the
house committee on military affairs
was utterly opposed to the plan for
q continental army and was in favor
of great strengthening of the militia
and a comparatively small increase in
the regular army.
1t was impossible for anybody to
tell which of the two men in charge
of things would give way. Today
both the house and senate have re.
ported military preparedness bills and
while it was thoroughly believed at
the outset that they would be radical
y different in all their provisions
there are some few signs of a
eoaleseing Of views, but the Two meas.
ures still are almost Numerically op.
posed one to the other
There will be a compromise of some
kind between house and senate on the
military preparedness bill and it is
perfectly apparent that there must be
compromises between the two houses
on other bills such as those affecting
the navy and on some other matters
of high importance. In the senate
there are many members who favor
the plan or the house. So it is easy
enough to see how utterly impossible
it has been and still is for the proph-
cts to foretell accurately the outcome
on these big defense measures.
In the matter OF the resolution warn
ing Americans not to travel on armed
liners belonging to belligerent coun-
tries, the membership in house and
senate has been divided not into par
ties but into groups irrespective of
party. The divisions in the two
houses show ne trace of Republican
ism or Democracy, but are both
marked deeply with the signs of both
parties. Old members say that never
in their memory has there been such
mixing up of party friends and
fees on both sides of a question as
there has been on this matter which
has created such a sensation in the
country.

People Well Treated and Contented.
General Terauchi takes more pride
in what the Koreans have accom-
plished than in what is done by the
Japanese. He looks on them as his
children and has instilleG into the
Japanese the feeling that they must
treat the Koreans as younger brothers
and sisters. Where a few years ago 1t
was not unusual to see a Japanese
beating or kicking a Korean, nowadays
one can travel from one end of the
country to the other, as the writer
does. without seeing a single case of
cruel treatment
1t Is fact that while there may
still be apprehension in the hearts of
some, the only Koreans who are great
ly dissatisfied with present conditions
are the officials whose graft has been
stopped once and forever, and a small
number of really patriotic young men
who are grieving that their country
has disappeared from among the ma
tons and who would rather be citi-
zens of a mean and insignificant but
Independent Korea than part of great
Japanese empire. The Prince vi house

the annexation an imperial donation
of 100000 yen was made from Japan
to Korea, of which 100000 yen went
as a solatium to the mobiles, ministers
and other officials of the former re-
gime, and 100000 was made a
foundation fund for giving work to
Koreans, spreading education and re-
lieving people in distress.
