W. 8, DAWSON, DeWITT C, CHASTAIN, HUNTING FOR ISSUES, The Republican party is making a frantic effort to discover or manufac- ture an issue that will divert public attention from that paramount of all issues—tariff taxation. The leaders, followed so long blindly and without question by Republican voters willing to adopt any creed or policy that bore the party stamp, no matter how disas- trous to the public weal or false to platform promises, have at last be- gun to it through their callous craniums that a step too far was taken when they shamelessly betrayed the people into the hands of the trust barons in the adoption of the Payne- Aldrich-Cannon tariff measure. Pres- ident Taft attempted to bolster it up by declaring it to be the best tariff law ever enacted by the Republican party. A respectable number of the rank and file, for the first time, refused to can party. The President then took another tack and at the recent unveil- ing of the tablet at Jackson, Mich., in commemoration of the birth of the Republican party, he held up a rag |and is ready to stand up for Missouri Sater Tee baby of horrible appearance and de- Sires! ‘ei z of uninterrupted Republican adminis- tration, what would be the result of another thirteen years of Republican Administration?’’ Governor Hadley, the Warwick® Missouri Republicanism, has been | frantically laying around him in an | effort to discover an issue that would | perpetuate his party in power in the state. His plea for home rule in the | cities, by which he secured his elec- | |tion, and his absolute abandonment | and repudiation of that issue when | the Democratic Senate tendered it to| him, proved his insincerity and put |him ina ridiculous attitude. His ex- |ploration of the southern portion of | | the state, with its attendant wonder- | | ful discoveries, and his ‘‘Back to the |Farm’” buncombe has been very spectacular and kept the governor constantly in the lime-light, if it is the very cheapest of demagogism. His promise to submit the home-rule plan to an initiative and referendum vote he has abandoned. His latest, and what promises to be the issue to| which he will finally tie his hopes, is the redistricting of the senatorial dis- tricts in such a manner that Republi- | cans will have the state senate. In order to do this they expect to over- ride the state constitution, but that is a small matter to getting the Repub- | lican party in power in Missouri, | whose immense wealth, fostered un- | der Democratic administrations, of-| fers a tempting and jucy plum for Republican rapacity andextravagance. | The redistricting plan is so plainly for | Republican advantage that the lead- ers do not make a plea to the whole electorate of the state, but only to} those who do not vote the Democratic | ticket or affiliate with that party. In| other words they plead for the Pro- hibitionists, the Populists, the Social- ists, etc., to rake out political chest- | nuts for the Republican monkey. The | impudence of such a move has never | before been equaled in the state, but | it is fair to the governor and his co- schemers to state that they do not ex- pect such a scheme to succeed, but | tion of the voters from the tariff is- | sue, PUITING ONE UVER ON HERBERT | The appointment of A. S. Vanval- kenburgh by President Taft to suc- ceed Judge Phillips as Federal Judge | of the Western District of Missouri | was one of the hardest slaps ever handed Governor Hadley and is a} severe jolt to the political prestige of | His spectacular Excellency. Governor Hadley had made a | straight fight for the appointment of John Kennish to this position, and | made Mr. Kennish’s cause his own. | He announced his desires in this mat- ter in his own inimitable egotistical | manner and exerted his every in-| fluence to have his desires brought about. Immediately, upon his stating his wishes, every little Hadley publi- cation in the state, listing with eager ears to hear their master’s voice, took up the fight and endorsed Mr. Kennish President Taft's action in ignoring ‘the Governor’s endorsement will tend to discredit Mr. Hadley’s press ;agents who have been loudly claim- ing the National administration look- ed-to Mr. Hadley to keep the Repub- lican party in Missouri in line, and it begins to appear, from the standpoint of an innocent bystander, that the President values Senator Warner's influence much more highly than he does that of the Governor and his machine. THOSE TACTFUL BRITISH. Life, A London cable tells us that when Mr. Roosevelt arrived there, the day before the solemn services in West- minster Hall, he called upon King George. The latter was so solicitous about the condition of Mr. Roosevelt's throat that he insisted upon his con- sulting one of the court physicians. The latter informed our ex-President that,it would be unwise for him to be present at the solemn function and that he would better remain quietly athome. Of course there was no —_——_— A dispatch from Washington un- der date of the 11th inst., says that Senator Warner celebrated his 70th birthday “in good health and spirits asever.” The last two words is the to the|key to Senator Warner’s “standing |), up.” In the making of the tariff he ode Island 119 they do expect it to divert the atten- | yers of Southwest Missoyri.
