He fs the firss Republican governor elected since 1870 according to Re- publican authority, while Democrats contest that he 1s the first Republt- can ever elected {n Miasouri when all the voters of the state exercised the free and unrestricted ballot. Repub- lican governors there were during the reconstruction days following the war, but they were elected ata time when only Republicans were allowed to vote, a test oath being presented that was repugnant to any freeborn American citizen, that must be taken before anyone suspicioned with Democratic proclivities were allowed to vote. As a consequence the Demo- cratic organization was abandoned and individual Democrats joined with fair and liberal Republicans {n 1870 to elect B. Gratz Brown. But irrespective of what party elected him, Mr. Hadley is now governor for the whole people of the state and as such fs entitled to the undivided sup- Port and allegiance of every Mis- sourtan in the conduct of his office to the end that the best interests of the state be promoted.

Walker, late defeated Repub- ‘ican candidate for Representative of St. Clair county, who contested Mr. Luchainger, his successful opponent’s seat in the Legislature on “constitu- Honal” grounds, publishes an open letter to the public “defining his position.” The constitutional grounds are, of course, those recom- mended by the Kangas Ulty Star, by which methods that paper hoped to encompas the defeat of its old time smemy, Willlam J. Stone. Since the ‘egislaturesworein all members hold- ing certificates of election, leaving contests to be settled on their merits in the regular way, that paper has been mum on the “constitutional” question and left “Willin’ Barkises’”” like Mr. Walkery who threw them- selves into the breach to rob the people of the fruits of their ballots, in a peculiar attitude.

C., Dec. 31.—Carelton B. Hazard, wealthy Virginian, who lives on thirty-acre tract near Rock Creek park, where hie young daughter takes datiy rides, has sent the following letter to the president: “Dear Sir:—My little daughter, Martha, 14 years old, came home about two weeks ago from a horseback rid: crying, and stated that | she had been accosted by you whilo riding in | 00¢! Rock Creek park She informs me that ehe Unexpectedly came upon your party and guard, and, not wishing to pass you, she simply rode usual, and if she should be so unfortunate as to meet you again I feel confident that this com- munication from me will be eufticient to assure her safety hereafter, CARELTON B, HAZARD.” In forwarding this lester Mr. Haz |*sopped and inquired what the trou-| ard addressed it to Mr. Roosevelt as an individual and not as Preaident of the United States—though we don’t see what difference 1¢ makes how he addressed it. All individuals arenot presidents, though all presidents pony the misfortune to be individ- uals, Mr. Hazard and his daughter will of course, have the sympathy of all who learn of the occurrence, though he is not wholly free of blame. “Hie should have known (and by this ‘ime does) that any lady riding un- attended in or near Washington {s Hable at any moment to meet people who are drunk or otherwise not in thelr right minds, or, who are suffer- {ng trom bigheaditle, or who are bul- Nes or generally {il-mannered.—Kan- sas City Journal, Jan’y 9th, 1909. —_—_—_———S_ The Post-Dispatch s inconeola over the fact of Senator Stone’s re- election.
