HYDE, A Democratic majority of 60,000 was rolied up in old Arkansas at the recent election held in that state. Old Missouri should meet her halt way if not go her one better. _———————— Missouri ranks first !n mules, third 1B oxen, hogs, corn and copper, fifth n population, sixth {n fron ore, wool and horses, seventh {in oats, elghth in wheat and tobacco, ninth in miles of railway, sheep and pota- toes.—Kk. C Times. —— Inasmuch as the Administration seems much perplexed what to do with lawless negro troops the Boon- ville Advertiser suggested sending them to Boston, Mass. A good plan! If a negro regiment or two were kept tn Boston fora while, tt might encourage asaner view of the race problem by the bean-eatera. The explosion of a gasoline gener- ator inthe laundry of Thark Bros. at Eldorado Springs, almost caused she complete destruction of the but!d ing. Walter Andrus, an employe, was badly burned and may not re cover. The damage amounted to dosween $3,000 or $4,000, No in- surance. iiliam H. Wallace, of Kansas City, was nominated by the 5sh dis- yy Sree Democrats for Congress Satur- day, defeating Frank M. Lowon a iirect vote. On the face of the re- turns Wallace carried every ward in the city but one. Wallace was the Jackson county prosecutor who con- dueted the trial of Frank James twenty years ago. The chairman of the varlous Re publican county committees of Mis- sourt met in St. Louts last week, and {n solemn conclave, unanimously adopted & resolution endorsing Mr. Roosevelt for another term. While this action of a Republican organiza- tion may be premature, nevertheless 4¢ has become @ well-established be- lief of Republicans all over the coun- try that in Mr. Roosevelt alone they have a man they can pit against Mr. Bryan, with any hopes whatever of suecess. These county chairmen are being blamed for committing Missou- ri to the third term {dea, by leading Republican pollticlane, but thehand- writing on the wall is so plain that they can not be blamed for becoming panicky. —— Chairman Ruby, of the State Dem- ocratic Executive Committece, lesued @ challenge to the Republican com- mittes to have Senators Stone and Warner hold joint-debates and to have joint debates arranged Letween ‘the congressional nominees of each district in the state. This {fs readily recognized ae the best method to bring the political issues contended for by the two parties, squarely be- fore the voters. The Republican committee, through Chairman Nied- ringhouse, respectfully refuses to risk 4te cause in she hands of ite candi- dates. We can see where they are wise. Senator Stone mes Senator Warner once, when they were both candidates for governor, and that once was enough to last Warner a Ufetime. Neither are we surprised that ‘they refuse to risk their congression- al nominees in euch debates. The Re- publicans prefer to make their cam- paign on the old plan of abuse and misrepresentation of Detiocratic BR RETR tee nee The shortage in freit cans ins’t SOUNDING A FALSE ALARM. In public enterprises of & non par- tisan nature, which all the papersare expected to, aud co advertise, free of |covt, the printing should beequitably | divided, snd not given bu une office because of persuus! favoritism or kinship connection.—Butler Times. The Democrat cannot give too em | phatic endorsement of the abovesen tment expressed by ‘Lhe Butler Times. It The Times meaus that ail printing ts to be dune first witb & re- jwardfor the interest of those who pay the bil!s and in an effort tosecure vhe best work at the most favorable prices {t is but declaring in plain \serms the duty of an honest officiel. | We join with The ‘Times in the belief that, all other things being equal, pubhe patrouage should be tuirly distributed We desire to bring to the attention ofa number of public officials this sentiment as indicating that in the bestowal of their entire patronage upon one paper alone that they not only lose all reputation for fairness and impartiality, but do not even gain the approval of the paper which has received more public patronage than the other twelve county papers combined. For we shall refuse to believe that The Times’ expression of opinion is based upon anything other than its exalted zeul for the public good and the reputation of our county officers fortairness. Perish the base thought thas because the Democrat has re- cently secured two considerable con- tracts for sem! public printing in an _ field against all bidders thas ‘he Times should fee! chagrin at our success,—Democrat. 3 Tre Times fs somewhat surprised that our esteemed contemporary should evince so much feeling over & small paragraph, which simply states an abstract truth, without dealing in personalities, and make {t a text to display its venom at Tar Times and covertly attack our Democratic county ofticlals, whom the present owner of that paper had attempted to coerce into giving him their full patronage. We are at a further loss to understand why {t took a whole WHEN CHICKENS COME | : HOME TO ROOST. | The Concordia (Kan.) Empire, | staunch Republican paper, pays the j tariff, bus is oot willing tocontribute for that privilege. It suys edisorial- | ly lass week: “We have bsen invited to senda | dollar contribution to the Republi- | cancampalgn fund that fs being rais- }ed by popular subscription and to which Presidents Roosevelt recently subscribed. We would like to have our dollar in such select company all right, but we've done all the contrib. uting we intend to do this year. “Werecently have completed build- | lug a house ut @ cost of something | over $4,000, and for every foot of lumber, every pane of glass, every sack of cement, every pound of nails, aad in fact for nearly every bit of material that went Into it we madea good, liberal contribution through the trusts that control them, and we guess we have done our ehare. “It may be treasun for a Republl- can newspaper to talk this way, but facts are facts, and it sort of relieves ourconsclence vo tell the truth about the trusts once in a while, We’ll just let the several trusts to which we have bad to pay unwilling tribute in the past year pay our dollar for us, We need it and they don’s. The Globe-Democrat has started {ts campaign of misrepresentation by insisting that there is a great breach in the Democratic party and that warring Democrate are flying at each other’s throats. It has, to its own satisfaction inaugurated an in- ternecine strife between Senator Stone and Governor Folk, and all the little “me-too” papers io the state are mouthingit. The Globeinsisted that Stone’s friends were in charge of the Bryan St. Louls reception and snub- bed Governor Folk and his friends, all of which was the basest fabrication, week to evolve this vicious, sugar- coated assault upon Tue Times and the Democratic offictals, unless {t was that the heavy emergency editorial writer, the power behind the throne, was busy looking after his fences that no patronage escape from the / State. The only hope of success the family corral. One would think that the editor of the Democrat, who 1s now at the “trough” to the amount of two- thousand per and perquisites, would be the last to raise the “patronage ery”, but {t seems those are the fel- lows who sound the false alarm, in order to divert attention from them- selves, They take the loaves and fishes with both hands, keep all with- in the family grasp, and even regret the crumbs that fall to the humble workers {n party ranks. The Democratic county officials have been fair and just In the die- tribution of their patronage, and itis not true that Tue Ties has recetved more than what it was justly entitl-d to. The editor of this paper {e the persona! and political friend of every Democratic county official, gives them loyal support at all times and never conditioned his allegiance upon patronage. To the credit of those splendid gentlemen, they have recog- nizad their obligations, and refuse to be dictated to by a self-constituted political boss, who has been whine- ing about patronage and slurring she county officers ever since hecame into possession of that paper. —————=— The mercury drop 40 degrees in New York aie cee. says a dispatch and was followed by the first heavy frost of the season. | y made out of whole cloth, Governor Folk was offered special courtestes and the so.called Folk men were giv- en the same cons{deration as all oth- er loyal Democrats throughout the Globe bas {s in dividing the Demo- crats into factions. Internal discen- sion was the cause of our defeat two years ago, and the Globe {s entitled to afull share of the credit for that condition. But Democrats are now fully warned and will not again be caught io such & trap. Internal dis- cension is the worst enemy any party has to contend with. Democrats of Missouri! will line up and present an unbroken front to the enemy thisfall Senator Stone and Governor Folk will both make speeches in support of the whole ticket. News comes from Washington that national chairman of the Republican committee, Postmaster (General Cor- telyou, bas put a kink in the hopes of the Republican Congressional cam- paign managers by refusing to loosen up the purse strings. I¢ is said that an unexpended balance of $600,000 was left from the last campaign fund and that Republican candidates in every district in the Union were giv- ing good reasons why they should be assisted and licking thelr chops in anticipation. Now -comes the news that Mr. Cortelyou takes the position that this fund belongs to the nation- al party, and is not available for dis- trict campaigns. However, ite dol- lars to doughnuts that a way will be found for the Republicans to get the money.
