welt. One of his editorials headed
Aaron Burr, His Protype," says:
In seeking prototype for Col
Roosevelt among public men-of the
country one finds the closest re-
semblance to Aaron Burr. The same
towering ambitions, the same over
bearing disposition and ungovernable
temper, the same ruthlcssness in dis
regarding the ties of friendships,
gratitude and reverence, the same
tendency to bully and browbeat, and
finally the same type of egotism and
greed for power and the same men,
tai tendency generally During the
whole of that campaign hardly day
passed but what the Col. was shot
full of editorial holes, among the
shots being that "he (RoosevelD was
utterly without conscience and re.
gard for truth and tile greatest faker
of the time" The Star also referred
to Col. Roosevelt as a Benedict
Arnold and to Hiram Johnson as
both faker and a black-guard."
These editorials were written by
Mr.. Harding and would make mighty
good reading to Col. Roosevelt's
friends, and we have no doubt Sem
ator Johnson and his friends would
peruse them with much interest and
no doubt they would enhance the en-
thusiasm of those gentlemen in Hard
ing's campaign.
An interesting fact in this connec-
ton is that the copy of the files of
the Star for that period has disap-
peared from the office of the Tri-
bunc, a business and political rival
of the Star.

NOW AND THEN

Next to the deadly parallel column,
is the digging into old files of news
papers when a man becomes promi-
nent enough to be nominated for
president by one of the great political
parties, and especially is that SO
when the candidate happens to have
been . newspaper man and editorial
writer. This is what has happened to
Warren G. Harding, Republican nom
inee. In 1912 Senator Harding then,
as he does now, owned the Marion,
Ohio, Star. Naturally as an old line
Republican he was enthusiastic for

designations of Babier and Cole De.
manded as Result of Their Con-
nection With Slush Funds
of Candidates.

Sedalia, Mo-. June 26.-The much
advertised Republican ''house-clean-
ing has been pulled off here as sche-
duled but Jacob L. Babler, Republi-
can National Committeeman from
Missouri, and w. L. Cole, Chairman
of the Republican State Committee,
still retain their posts and show no
signs of intent to resign.
SOME of the delegates in attend
ance were inspired with honest mo
tives and were seeking only new Lead
ership while others, according TO the
gossip around the meeting, want d
new regime because they believe they
will fare better in possible fedora,
patronage if Babler and Cole are
ousted. Few were prepared for the
thunderbolt hurled from the Yves. by
former Governor Herbert S. Hadley,
now living in Colorado, who sent
letter to the convention saying that
slush funds were nothing new in Re-
publican circles in Missouri-that
they had been used in the campaigns
of 1908, 1912 and 1916.
Hadley's revelations were not
startling from a news point of view
as nearly all Missourians who have
followed politics can testify to huge
sums of Republican money dumped
into the state to carry elections but
they gained added import because of
the high position of the man who
made them. Hadley's letter was car
ried throughout the nation by, the As
ISOLATED Press, thereby adding to the
shame of Missouri. Hadley bluntly
made the assertion that unles Repub-
licans clean house" they might a.
well abandon all hopes for carrying
Missouri this fall.
