A MISSOURI INSTITUTION.
Representative Howie of Alabama Is not alone In
despair of ever understanding the peculiar nature of
Republican politicians in this Slate. As a member
of the Committee on Elections of Congress he has
been lMeninj; to the arguments in the liutler-llorlon
contest from the Twelfth District of this city. After
a ain efforr to get the truth in the matter, he re
mained to the attorney: "I know bonie things about
politics In other State, but am free to say that I can
not get onto the curves of Missouri Republicans."
There are thousands of other people especially
citizens of Missouri w ho are unable to "get onto"
publican Congress does finally act as the President
advised when Vice President, it will only have enact
ed a principle the correctness of which is acknowl
edged by the interests affected.
There are corporations, however, which will op
pose publicity. Oradiully the public will take but
one mow of the business being transacted by such
concerns. A company with a practical monopoly of :i
necessity of modern life cannot in the long run re
fuse -. knowledge of its inside workings. Just as a
bank would court a withdrawal of deposits by re
fusing to make n statement, so will corporations be
treated in the near future if secrecy Is maintained.
It is a development of industrial life which cannot be
presented. The business sense of the country de
mands this beginning of remedies of existing evils.
That granted, further legislation can be taken in ac
cordance with known tacts.

line breed lias been conducting schemes which have
tallied not only the upright members of the Republic
an party but every citizen who has endeavored to
discover what is what in the Republican organiza
tion. Within the memory of the oldest Inhabitant the
politicians have been divided into two camps. There
has never been a time when factious were not on
hand to fight for patronage, in elections, candidates
have been indorsed by the party organization while
privately the great mass of the party denounced the
nominees as traitors. Orators have preached reform

toothache, nor has he ecr taken a luer pill.
The question naturally arises whether Barlow's
longevity is due to his free and easy habits. There
are people who will hold him up a, an example. In
tact, the frequency with which octogenarians and cen
tenarians are used to Illustrate this theory of indulged
habits has become so common as to cause a suspicion
that there u something more than disinterestedness.

NO QUARREL OF OURS.
There Is wssuredly a sound wisdom in the an
nounced determination of this Government to refrain
from Interfering In the existing Chinese situation by
making official representations to Germany for com
pliance with the Chinese request thai all foreign
troops be withdrawn from Tien-Tsln.
Though Germany is now tho only Government
-which declines to take this action, the necessity for
American Interference Is not apparent. A quite seri
ous crisis Is developing in China, due largely to the
recently formulated Anglo-Japanese treaty. Indica
tions are that before very long Russia, Germany and
Tranco will be aligned side by side against England
mid Japan, the bone of contention being Chinese ter
iltory. Surely we should take no hand in this conflict of
Old World interests In China. We may have a word
to say at the critical moment in an expression of I
American belief that China should not be partitioned
omong tho world-powers, but that moment has not
yet arrived. There would be something of imperti
nence in our approaching Germany at the present
moment with n protest against the German policy in
China. We shall be wise not to lay ourselves open
to a rebuke as disconcerting as It would be deserved.
the chief Instrument of a corrupt lobby. The better
element in the party has been shelved time and again
for no apparent reason except that it was in the path
of rascality.
If Congressman Bowie thinks to "get onto" the
curves of these politicians he has a big task before
him. It will take years of patient effort and much
discrimination to appreciate the Missouri machine
Republican. lie is a peculiar creature. Now you
thiuk jou know him and then you think you don't.
Ho is an elusive proposition, slippery as an eel and
never found when wanted. He is much on wind and
little on delivering the goods. He has made prom
ises galore and glorious only to break them. lie has
no mote sense of responsibility than a weasel and no
more pride than a yoked steer. Unless the Alabama
Congressman has much spare time he will give up his
qnesi after knowledge of the Missouri Republican
manipulator before going further.

GOOD MANNERS AND DEMOCRACY.
Those Democratic members of the lower house of
Congress who promptly took occasion to disclaim that
they shared in the foolish views TOlced in Congress
man Wheeler's protest against the hospitable recep
tion and entertainment of Prince Henry of Prussia
were good Americans.
No well-bred man would care to share the re
sponsibility of Mr. Wheeler's sentiments on this point.
Tho Kentucky Representative grievously misrep
resented his State by his recent utterance. Ken
tucki.ins will doubtless feel grateful to Representa
tive Boreing, also from their State, for disavowing on
behalf of the people of Kentucky any sympathy with
Mr. Wheeler's position.
The incident now closed In this salutary manner
should teach Representative Wheeler of Kentucky a
good lesson. He must not take it for granted here
after that Democracy and boorishncss arc synony
mous .terms. He must not urge that, because a man

6ure him another score of years. Vice versa, wiy
should it be said that Itailow owes his 107 years to
the fact lie is a smoker, chewer and drinker?
Is there not a greater probability that Barlow had
a remarkable phjsiquc and that his lung and happy
cateer is due to the endowments of nature? Is theie
not a possibility that what is good for one man is
evil to another? Perhaps B.irlow has indulged his
proclivites simply because he discovered that he could
eudure the strain. In so far as benefits or nou
ll'iiellts are concerned. Is It not HUelv that Barlow's
life has neither been shortened nor lengthened by his
system of living? The thing is to live.

Health Commissioner StarklofTs earnest insistence
upon the necessity for vaccination at the present time
should bring tho desired result. There is no cause
for panic as regards smallpox In St. Louis, uut there
is good reason for every St. Ixmisan to be vaccinated
to minimize the danger of infection. An epidemic of
smallpox may easily be prevented in this manner.
An epidemic of smallpox may easily be caused by a
general neglect of the duty of vaccination. St. Louis
has less smallpox than any other American city of
equal rank. The way to keep St. Louis in this su
perior sanitary condition is for St. I.ouisans to take
the necessary individual precautions. The disease ex
ists in almost every county in the United States. It
is being carried everywhere. Safety requires vac
cination. ...
All elements of the best local citizenship are unit
ing in expressions of approval of the public service
thus far rendered by the February Grand Jury as a
worthy successor to the December Grand Jury in the
investigation of scandals of municipal corruption. The
Globe-Democrat, for reasons of its own, has seen lit
to condemn the Grand Jury and to align itself against
the good citizenship of St. Louis. The Globe-Democrat
can explain only with an apology. No news
paper can serve the corrupt and criminal class of its
community and retain the respect of the good people
of that community. i

WILL GAIN A PARK AND LIBKAItV.
In the open hearing of arguments for and against
the bill authorizing the restoration of Missouri Park
and the construction of the Central Carnegie Library
on that site, the facts governing the case wore very
clearly brought out and should be closely considered
by the Municipal Assembly.
The advantage is with the advocates of the meas

SEEKING GOOD COMPANY.
The Globe-Democrat says that its attitude toward
the boodle investigation is exactly like that of The
Itepublic
As an effort to push itself into good society this
plea is not without merit.
The Globe, however, does not tell the truth. Its
gross offense against public decency Is not contained
in the lukewarm platitudes which it has from time to
time editorially published. Popular condemnation
has descended upon the Globe because it is the only
newspaper in St. Louis to attempt a diversion in be
half of boodlers by attacking tho honesty of the
Grand Jury and Circuit Attorney.
Citizens did nut fail to notice that the first attack
appeared contemporaneously with the declaration of
a member of the Board of Health that Ed Butler had
sought to force upon him a large sum of money when
the garbage contract was being awarded.
Kcmiuded by the Bntler-Horton hearing In Wash
ington that Ed Butler was in 1000 the close ally of
the Ziegoufcein machine, those citizens might suspect
that the "Colonel" hart supplied the Globe with the
ideas promulgated In the assault on tho integrity of
the Grand Jury.
The stuff read like an Interview with Butler; the
htatcment of the member of the Board of Health,
who had been before the Grand Jury, showed that
the inrjmct hnd Butler under investigation; the Globe
is known, as the organ of Ziegenhein, to have been
friendly with Butler in 1900 and the years Immediate-

towB park and a library building does not impress the
average man as being public-spirited and animated by
a. Elncere regard fot the community's Interest. There
Is more of the atmosphere of a private enterprise en
veloping the old Exposition these days.
On the other hand, the proposition to authorize the
rostontlon of Missouri Park and the construction of
the Central Carnegie Library within that park is dis
tinctly and undeniably a proposition for public bene
fit. 'No private Interest would prollt thereby. The
Frctwell Shock, 10 years old, hilled a playmate
laf.t week. Tho shooting was the outgrowth of a
rivalry between neighborhood boyish clans, it is
not often that such serious results follow the forma
tion of these youthful organizations. Still less fre
quent is it that boys carry revolvers, as did the Shock
boy. However, as long as older men arc in the habit
of carrying concealed weapons criticism of the youth
ful homicide must bo tempered. The law against
firearms on the person Is one which, as the cause of
frequent murder, needs a vigorous support of public
opinion.

Multimillionaire James R. Keene's gift of $2.".000
for the relief of the poor of New York City, buffering
from the storm of last Monday night, was a fine act
of charity. Mr. Keene, also, has a personal right to
believe that gifts of books and libraries are not of
much .account to the extremely poor. Nevertheless,
don't let's discourage the latter form of giving or any
other method that seeks to accomplish good. The
main thing is to get our millionaires Into the habit of
giving, for which a free field and no favor is cer
tainly a fair rule.
