TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION: Che Werx.y Timms, published eyery Thursday, will be sent to any address fe rear, oostage paid, for $1.00, Newspaper reports say that Wil- Kam Ziegler is indignant at General Crow’s brief filed with Governor Odell. “No thief ere felt the halter draw, with good opinion of the law.” If General Ed. 8S. Crow becomes a candidate for governor, he will staud for “Folkism” in its purest sense, while possessing the advantage of having been thoroughly tried and not found wanting. He would be no experiment and all factions would unite upon him, a The Democratic county central committee of Vernon county met last week and declared against the pri- mary plan to nominate a congress- manin the 15th. The candidates for congressional honors are M. E. Benton of Newton, and L, L. Scott, of Vernon. Mr. Benton is the in, has served four times and wants a primary. Mr. Scott is an able and brilliant lawyer, of Nevada, a man of force and,a “fighter from the nobs.” Woe expect to see a hot time {n that district. before the nominatton is cinched. ey The Folk meeting in St. Louis was largely attended from every section of the state by representative Dem- ocrate and a strong organization of the atate was perfected by districts. Atnight Mr, Folk addressed a wildly enthusiastic body of suppurters esti- mated at four thousand. His speech was along the same lines as those heretofore delivered in this cam- paign. He made sarcastic references to his critice and those candidates who are abusing him, but refrained from retaliating in-kind, The Folk rally in St. Louis can be credited a success in every particular, We have been surprised at the wide favor our editorial suggestion pot Attorney General Ed Crow asa ’ compromise candidate for governor is meeting with among conservative men, who hold party good above Personal ambitions and feel that Crow’s candidacy would relieve the tension of present conditions. Crow has been tried and the people know what to expect of him, He is one of Missouri's brainiest men. Is safe on all questions affecting the state the people and the party’s interests. Crow would indeed be a happy solu- tion of about the worst tangle the Democratic party has ever got into in this state. Col. Jas. A. DeArmond attended the Folk meeting at St. Louis on last Saturday and was aj pointed committeeman for the 6th District; to organize the Folk forces. Hofs| quoted by @ reporter for tue Repub-! lic as having said that he would not support his father for governor, when the suggestion was made by Hon. Harry Hawes that Judge De- Armond become a candidate. Col. DeArmond emphatically repudiates the interview. He said that while Mr. Hawes spoke of Judge DeAr mond in the highest terms, he did not} say that he would support him if he ran for governor, neither did Col. DeArmond say that he would refuse tosupport his father. Col DeArmond is @ young man of push, energy and ability, and Mr. Folk’s manager made 4 wise selection in him to or- ganise this district. He is enthusi- astic in the cause, and the work will not lag under his management. Missouri needs a legislature of pure- hearted, broad-browed, strong-jawed men who will do business for the pub- lie good. The state, says the Nevada Post, has bad more than its share of repreentativie and senators who were elected, because they had noth- ingelee to do. It has had morethan it+ just proportion of statesmen who bave crowded in to make political capital for themselves, and far more than any commonwealth can afford of those who would sell the vestments of heaven to fill their purses. Hap- hazard choice of legislators must al-! ways resu't in laws that are blind, | lame or halt. The situation will not, be changed until men are sent to the plegislature because of their adapta. | PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE “T hesitate to refer to the injurious insinuations which have been made of complicity by the government in the revolutionary movement in Pan- ama. They areasdestitute of foun- dation as propriety. The only ex- cuse for my mentioning them ia the fear lest unthinking persons might mistake for acquiescence the silence of mere self-respect. I think proper to say, therefore, that no one connected with the gov- ernment had any part in preparing, inciting, or encouraging the late rev- olution on the Isthmus of Panama, and that save from the reports of our military and naval oftivers, given above, no one connected with this government hadany previous knowl- edge of the revolution except such as was accessible to any person of ordi- nary intelligence who reads the newspapers and kept up a current acquaintance with public affairs. By the unanimous action of its people, without the firing of a shot— with @ unanimity hardly before re corded in any similar case-the people of Panama declared themselves an independent republic, Their reeogni- tion by this government was based upon a state of facts iin no way de pendent for its juatification upon our action in ordinary cases, T have not denied, nor do I wish to deny, either the validity or the pro- priety of the general rule that a new state should not be recognized as independent till it has shown {ts abil- ity to maintain ite independence: This rule is derived trom the principle of nonintervention, and as a corol- lary of the principle has generally been observed by the United States, But, like the principle from which it is deduced, the rule is subject to ex- ceptions: and there is in my opinion clear and imperative reasons why a departure from it was justified and even required in the present instance, These reasons embrace, first, our treaty rights; second, our national interests and safety; and third, the interests of collective civiliz ition. In conclusion let me repeat that the question actually before thie government is not that of the recog- nition of Panama as an independent republic. That is already an accom- plished fact, The question, and the only question, is whether not we whall build an isthmian canal.”—Extraet from President Roosevelt’s message to congress. —_———— AT THE M'CLELLAND DINNER, Suggesting a platform, Ex-Senator David B. Hill urged planks for “tariff revision which shall secure equal privileges to all; revenues limited to the necessities of the treasury, and an equitable adjustment of exorbit- ant duties,” and adequate laws for the regulation and control of eum: binations of capital. “In regard to the money question,” he went on, “our differences are greatly exaggerated and much mis. represented, There ought not to be any difficulty at thie time in framing a fiaaucial plank acceptable to every intellig-nt and rensonable Demo- crat. The logic of events hascleared thesituation It is not believed that any further monetary legislation is now desirable. Ifa specific plank on this subjectis needed, then a simple declaration in favor of international bimetallism to be seured by anagree- ment between the leading nations of the world in the event that further coinage legislation becomes neces- sary would be unobjectionable.” —<——_______ “In State affairs Democrats are proud of the excellent development of the State during the thirty years of Democraticrule.

Gainesville, Ga, Jan. 2—General James Longstreet, at the age of 83 years, the last of ranking Lieutenant Generals of the Confederacy, of the Mexican War and United States Com- m'ssioner of Rulways, died at the home of Mrs. J. Estin Welchell, on College avenue, this city, at 5u’clock this afternoon. Death was caused by pneumonia, which vas greatly aggravated by the old wounds received at the hands of his own men through mistake at the bartle of the Wilderness. He only returned to his home here two weeks ago from Chicago, where his left eye was extracted to cure a cancerous growth of many years. Che operation seemed to do him good, and since his return he appear- ed to be in better health than in many years. A few days ago he contracted cold, which developed into pneumonia, producing death quite suddenly this afternoon, He was surrounded by his wife and 11-year-old daughter, Mrs... BE. Wel chell, and two of bis 80ns, Joho and Randolph Longstreet. Another son, R Lee Longstreet, resides iu Wasb- ington, dud James Longstreet, his third son, is a Captain in the Thir- teenth Cavalry, now in the Philip- pines, The funeral and interment are not arranged, but will probably take place here Monday. A DEMOCRATIC LOVE FEAST Prominent Party Leaders ata New York Banquet. New York, Jan. 4.—From the city, state and nation Democrats of prom- {nence assembled here to-night at the dinner at Sherry’s in honor of George B. McClelland, the newly installed mayor of New York city, among those present being Richard Olney of Massachusetts, ex-Governor David B, Hill of New York, Congrese- man David DeArmond of Missouri, Charles A. Towne, ex-senator from Minnesota; ex-governor R. E. Patti- son of Pennsylvania; William A, Gae- ton of Boston and Charles F. Murphy now leader of Tammany hall. Almost zero weather prevailed in St. Louis Christmas day. The fallin the temperature was accompanied by a high wind that blew at a veloci- ty of 40 miles an hour, doing consid- erable damage in various parte of the city. At the height of the blow portions of the east and north walle ofthe partially completed $1,000 - 000 Buckingham hotel at West Pine and King’s Highway were blown down, cansing damage «stimated at $75,000. The building has been leased for the World’s Pair period by the Buckingham club, of which Miss Helen M. Gould is a member, but the contractor says tha accident wil not interfere with its ecom«letion on time.

Congressman DeArmond, of Mis souri, in responding to the toast, “What of the Future?” at the Jack- son Day banquet in Omaha, last week, said in part: ‘It isa question of the ages, and the ages will repeat it until timeshall be no more.

Misseuri Would Not Be as Helpless if— the Fugitive Were in Mexico Ig- stead of a Sister State---Mr. Roesevelt Quoted. Jefferson City, Jan. 1.—Attorney General Crow and Judge Thomas B, Harvey to day forwarded their print- ed brief to Governor Odell, of New York, in the matter of the rendition of William Ziegler, the baking pow- der magnate, who is under indict ment by the Cole county, Missouri, grand jury for bribing Missouri legis- lators at the 1901 session. This brief and arguments are ably and well prepared from a legal stand- point, and cover every feature of the questions raised at Ziegler's hearing before the New York governor In part the brief is as follows: “The state of Missouri, in address- ing herself to you as the chief execu- tive of a sister state, would beg leave to impress upon you the gravity of the matteratiesu. * * * Indeed, so very heinous is the crime of bribery of the ofticials of a gov. erument, and 8o necessary its punish. ment and probibition, that no less a personage than President Roosevelt thought it advisable recently to ful- minate against it in his message to the Congress of the United States in vigorous language. What mockery and how almost farcial seems his strong appeal tor the enactment of treaties that will not permit any bribe giver to “rest in peace” in any foreign nation on earth, if indeed the most heinous character of the bribe giver, he who bribes the lawmaking power of the state, can “rest in peace’ and in deflant security in one of the sister- hood of states of this Unton, which are supposed to be banded together for mutual protection and to secure domestic tranquillity, as we are as- sured in their articles of confedera- tion. Why stand upon the moun- tain tops and cry to other nations to give no placeof rest to bribe givers from this country, if, indeed, they can find shelter right here in our own midst in one state against the de- the victory be ours? That is not so easily answered, for that depends up- on what the party will. say and do when next it convenes in national convention. If itshall wisely address itself to the issues cf the day, assert ing nothing offensively, apologizing for nothing, and sball name for its nominees men who ought to be and therefore will be acceptable to its rank and file, it will win. Butifin folly it repudiates its past—its recent past—or if it needlessly antagonizes and drives away elements which were not with it or which left it in ite re- cent past, the promise of the times and of condition will prove delusive, , and we shall go down to def at. Thave no platform to sugvest, no candidates to commend to the exclu- sion of others. As one who followed enthusiastically the party flag. borne so nobly by your great Nebraskan, I would be unwilling, even with sweep- ing victory as the price of the base ness, to say ought or do ought in re- pudiation of the man who led on the millions of devot-d dermocrats who followed the party banner in ‘96 or 1900, But ‘06 with its stirring ac- tivities, isin the great ocean of time that has been: and so it is with 1900, to-day is our day. and this is the year of our pressing political duty, and inviting political prospect. As I would not indulge in self stulti- fication, so T would not be precc:ip- tive. I would welcome all who come to battle on our side now, for what now is in issue; and I would repel none whose help we may have now, because we did not get it in some campaizn of the past; just as we wel- comed those who came to us first in ’96, after a lifetime of opposition. None who were against us before, but sincerely desire to be with us, will come with words of denunciation up- on their lips, or the ‘holier than thou’ spirit in their hearts. The sincere ones who shall find a hearty welcome 4nd full fellowship are those who would be with us now for the coun- try’s good; because they believe we are for what, in the fight now on, is right. Thoee, if there be any, who would come to ask us to repudiate our past and humbly glorify them for their past, either are utterly wanting in sincerity, or are too vain and too dictatorial, too narrow and vengcful, to'be of value to the party. Tam one of those who believe that no man who did not support the ticket in ’96 or 1900 can be avail- able for the presidential nomination in 1904. The reasons for this con. Clusion are so many and so evident mands ofthe other? * * *# If this defendant, William Ziegler, were in the republic of Mexico, Mis- souri would not be so helpless as itis insisted it now is by reason of his be- ing in the sister state of New York; for, regardh ss of the contested ques- tion of whether or not he wasactual- ly and physically present within the borders of the state of Missouri when his crime against its laws was per- petrated, he would be extradited un- der the laws and returned from Mex- ico to answer the indictment prefer- red against him. If upon issuing your warrant Mr. Ziegleris still unwilling to respond to Missouri's call he has the option of going into the courts, and Missouri will gladly, if he so elects, meet him in the courts of his own state for the adjudication of her rights ” Then the extent and nature of the obligation imposed UPON One execu. tive by the requisition of another executive, projects beyond the seas should no longer absorb our substances or un- dermine our noble institutions.
