Thursday, will be sent to any address We invite a j careful perusal of them by ourcitizons | that they may vote upon them intel- ligeatly. The first amendment effects cities of 100,000 inbabitants and over, and voters not effected should defer large- ly to what the citizens of those cities desire. So faras wecan learn the cities want the amendment adopted. The second amendment, for arefer- endum and initiative law, has been endorsed by the Democratic conven- tion, in its platform and will be sup- ported as a party measure, The third amendment, provides for a special tax to furnish free text books, has been indorsed by both political parties and should carry by an overwhelming vote. This calls for a levy of five cents on the $100 valuation, a very smalltax to furnish free text books to pupils of the common schools. If there is a remainder it shall be used for pur- chasing books for etudents of the high schools. Our people interested in the public schools should vote for this to @ man, The Fourth amendment is to com- pel railroads to furnish free trans portation to legislators, state officers supreme and district judges, officials of public institutions and county sheriffs. This looks to a great many people like an effort to hold up the railroads. Its purpoge is to remove the pass influence trom these officers and, {n our opinion, is a very doubt- ful experiment at best. The Fifth proposed amendment asking the people to vote a tax of four cents on the $100 valuation for five years, to build a new state capi- tol, should be voted. A just pride in our great state should prompt us to do thie, as the old capitol building would not be credit to afourth grade commonwealth, and is a disgrace to Imperial Missouri. ‘ SO SPEWING HOT AND COLD The people of Missouri will not be buncoed by a party that makes. no pretense of concealment in spewing hot and cold with the same breath Less thana year ago Republican leaders and party organs were laud- ing Mr. Folk and his works and heaping abuse upon the Democratic party, inaisting that Folk could not be nomiuated. Now these sawe worse than the veriest criminal that walks the earth, and endeavor to belittle and diecredit his official acte, | DENTON AGAINST GRAVES? i We congratulate ourfriend Charley WE ARE z A “WORLD POWER.” Denton on bis preferment by his par-| Pulitzer Reminds Roosevelt Such | ty in the nomination for circult judge and commend his nerve in sgreeing| jto the sacrifice.

It will be remembered that the Populist: com- bined with Republicans © against Graves, Denton being on both tickets. Now let us do a little analyzing for Mr. Funk’s information. In 1896 the Republican aud populist votes of Bates combined, on Secretary of State, were 4093 The Democratic vote 8528 A combined majority of 565 against the Democrats, which ma- jority Judge Graves overcame in 1898 and carried the county by 198, The Republican and Populist votes combined in the whole district gave a majority over Democrats of 408, which Judge Graves overcame by a majority of 821 over Denton, thus making a difference in Judge Graves’ favor of 1229. Doesn't sound quite so well for Mr. Denton’s popularity, but are cold facts, which Mr. Funk can digest at his leisure. At the same rate how long would it take Charley Denton to beat Graves in this judicial district. A feature of the Lone Jack pienic a year ago last summor wasa brilliant eulogy upon Joseph W. Folk by Herbert Hadley of this city. Al- though there has been no perceptible change of front fo Mr. Folk since then, Mr. Hadley is going about the state, denouncing him for almost all ainsin the political calendar. But when Mr. Hadley made his Lone Jack speech he had no idea that a year later Mr. Folk would be the Demo himself sue Republican nomines for attorney, general.—Kansas City World.

Our mercantile ship- ping on blue water has steadily de- clined under the restrictive policies you favor, and it is smaller now than it was when the first keel of the new navy was laid, You tell us that under your leader- ship we have just become a “world power.” What were we—pardon the personal illustration—more than 4 generation before you were born,whe>, with only ten million people and i.- sirnificant armaments, we flung th» Monroe doctrine into the teeth of tuo Holy Allidnee? Considering your intelligence and your knowledge of American history, your attitude seems a mystery. Waat can be its explanation? What can be the purpose of all these shrieks for a mighty army and navy, these frenzied denunciations of “cow- ards,” “weaklings” and “cravens,” who sordidly mind their own business in- stead of flying to arms, with no dis- cernible provocation; these frantic, wavings of the mailed fist in the faces of the nations? Tho spectacle is ex- traordinary and bewildering, The country is in no danger from any power of Europe. All the nations of the Old World are watching each other, afraid of each other, and infinitely more in dread of us, the terrifying “American Peril,” than we could pos- sib!y be of them. Not one of them would dream of adding a war with us to its other dangers, if we gave it a Chance to escape. [f we could stand against England with our great arma- meuts ninety years ago, when we had only eight million people, what have we to fear now with eighty millions and eight hundred times the resources and power for war?

Is that Americanism? Is that honest citiz»nship? The Re- publican party of Missour! has been put in an unenviable position by its leaders and papers. It is said the Republican national administration has refused to indorse it, and when Senator Fairbanks and Secretary of the Treasury Shaw came to Missouri they ignored Mr. Walbridge and state issues. The great masses of the people of all parties are honest and they will refuse to be placed in a dishonest attitude. The political grave of the Republican party in Missour! has been dug deeper by the men who control it to further their own ends. discredit Folk’s campaign by having Col.
