REPUBLICANS SHOULD ASSIST.
That the corrupt election officials whoitliought to
escape punishment for tampering with the' ballots and
returns have mistaken the zeal and purpose of Cir
cuit Attorney Folk and the Grand Jury may be judged
by the reports which have come from the Four Courts
during the past few days.
Unless indications ore misleading, indictments will
"be returned against a large number of derelict officials.
The Circuit Attorney is making no distinction in the
investigation. So-called Democrats and Republicans
who violated their oaths are equally guilty before the
law. Politics will cut no figure in the finding of in
dictments. Republican organs and nominees hare tried to
make it appear tharthey were the victims of partisan
fraud. The overwhelming majorities that Demo
cratic nominees received Is sufficient refutation of
any claim which may be made to offices. Yet there
'are Some precincts where it Is evident that the Be
' publican judge and clerks worked in collusion with
Democrats to swell the majorities.
In every precinct where this was done energetic
prosecutions should follow. The Circuit Attorney
welcomes assistance from any source. Those Re
publicans who have been shouting the loudest against
fraudB should proceed to clean out their own ranks.
They now have an opportunity to -show their sincerity
' by presenting evidence against those who padded the
returns in the Republican primary. One honest effort
to convict the heelers who were responsible for count
ing 800 more votes in two wards than'were cast would
be worth all of the cheap talk of Tlepublican poli
ticians during the past two years.
A. SERIOUS PREDICAMENT.
South American countries are doing much to em
barrass the United States in enforcing the Monroe
-Doctrlne, and, therefore, they are jeopardizing their
own best Interests, for the Monroe Doctrine is no less
advantageous, in principle and effect to them than
It is to this Government. Perhaps the recalcitrant
.communities there will learn its benefits -ssell if Vene-
ftuela. be treated to a show of severity by foreign
Powers, though every true American will regret that
circumstances Justify even the semblance of an en
croachment on our favorite principle.
5 Under no conditions and for no reason could the
United 8tatepennit the seizure of territory on this
We of the Atlantic Yet fairness compete the ad
mission thatthe European nations are within their
right lfwthey proceed, with our consent, to obtain
redress fo? material Injuries sustained In Venezuela.
Possibly to the extent of enforcing justice and exact
ing redress; but to no greater extent, we might allow
the Mosfoe -Doctrine to b tested. Our patriotism
prompt us to assume thai the Federal authorities
have denned the limit of action that will be tolerated
from abroad In the Venwuelan case.
The concerted 'action apparent among foreign na
tions concerned la the difficulties with. Venecuela in
dicates that European Governments are developing a
more pronounced dislike for what they term "Monroe
Ism." There are evidences that Great Britain, Ger
many, and other European states had agreed, before
aaaoaaclng that they would make a belligerent dem
onstration, to press their case at all hasards, no mat
ter what attitude the United States would assume.
This Indication makes the predicament appear seri
ns, regardless of the phases of the present Issue.
s Probably our acquisition of territory In the Phillp
'Plnea, which took the United States out of its sphere,
did mora than anything else to engender an earnest
dislike among European nations for the Monroe Doc
trine. We hare sjeoa resscn to suppose that Spain
will not view Amerieaa imperial aggrandizement with
ax.deeree of satlstactlML It Is quite reasonable to
saraatoe that ear Imperialistic tendencies have nnr
tnred trosble for tsi
BBserfldaHy ,thers Is as "association between the
Venezuela case and American territorial expansion.
However, It seems plain that the Powers of Europe
are a unit against us in regard to the Monroe prin
ciple. Venezuela la not so large a country that Great
Britain, Germany and other European states would
have to combine to make an effective demonstration
of force against her.
American territorial expansion has some connec
tion with the growing opposition In Europe' to the
Monroe Doctrine. The acquisition of the Philippines
may have been glory, but It was not diplomacy or
good Judgment. It -would be better for the United
States to restrict its expansion to the American Con
tinent. --.
THE UNVARNISHED TRUTH.
We cannot too soon begin to deliberate seriously on
the leading Issues of the spring election. The issues
are already plainly defined and time will not change
them, though time, circumstance and political vicissi
tudes may give another aspect to the existing situa
tion, which is not, at best, entirely satisfactory to
those who desire to have corrupt influences completely
ciadlcated. But the situation will not be satisfactory
unless public sentiment becomes active and warns
political powers that a straightforward policy must
be sustained.
Considered from every viewpoint the spring elec
tion will be one of the most important ever held in
this city. Even the election of thirteen freeholders
to frame a. new City Charter will not be more im
portant; even the adoption of a new organic law will
not be of greater concern. In fact, developments may
bring about such a state of affairs that the creation of
a new Charter commission will wholly depend upon
the results of this election. This is a broad and grave
statement to make; nevertheless it is the unvarnished
truth and can be demonstrated.
Before we discuss conditions, let us review the
issues, so that we may bear in mind the extreme im
portance of the election. The Issues are official puri
ty, as opposed to bribery and corruption, and good
government, as opposed to the misrule, incompetency
and unscrupulousness of the servants of politicians.
The issues include not only fundamental principles of
correct government, but also mcVand practices.
Citizens are well aware that Circuit Attorney
Tolk's Inquisition disclosed official depravity In both
branches of the Municipal Assembly. The Inquisition
exposed close relations among dissolute public ser
vants, "legislative agents" and corrupt political chief
tains. Party lines were erased by this league and
public interests perverted. Corruption was not con
fined to the House of Delegates and the City Council;
one. at least, of the very highest offices was under
suspicion of having submitted to debauchery, while
other high offices could not challenge thorough In
vestigation. Misrule was converted to good government and
corruption was routed by exposure when Mayor Wells,
Circuit Attorney Folk and their assistants took office.
Under the direction of Mayor Wells Improper meth
ods gave way to sound business procedures. The
gang was checkmated at every play. Resistance to
the change from bad to good came only from the
House of Delegates.
At the spring election six members of the City
Council and twenty-eight members of the House of
Delegates will be elected, assuming that the House
will not be abolished before that time, although we
hope it will have become only a sad memory. The
most rabid opposition to good government came from
the House during the past two years. Disclosures of
corruption centered on men In both branches of the
Municipal Assembly.
The issues are plain. We must support Mayor
Wells, Circuit Attorney Folk and competent depart
ment chlefB "by selecting good men as candidates for
the Council and House. We must wipe, out the last
vestige of corruption and deal a death-blow to corrupt
political potentialities. We must let practical poli
ticians understand that we shall not tolerate alliances,
of any kind, with any objectionable elements. Both
parties must bo made to understand that the tickets
must be pure throughout.
What will be the consequence If we do not Insist
upon clean tickets? The old, old story of corruption.
If we do not compel the selection of absolutely clean
tickets, some men of questionable character wLU get
into the House of Delegates.
In that event we might wait forever for the As
sembly to call an election to create a new Charter
commission, because Delegates of questionable char
acter would not likely take steps to abolish the House.
With reputable men in both branches of the Assembly,
we would have the assurance that the public will
would be obeyed. The spring election. It Is evident,
will be extraordinarily Important
STERN MEASURESt IMPERATIVE.
Advancing civilization has failed to rid the country
of one menace to life and property, that of train rob
bery. Apparently there has been, a revival of this
form of brigandage during the past few months. Un
less proper action is taken, It Is apparent that instead
of decreasing in frequency the list of hold-ups will
grow larger.
The last example of the audacity of these robbers
was near Davenport. Five masked men detached the
express car from the remainder of the train, satTdned
the employes, blew open the express safe and secured
booty estimated to be worth from 520,000 to $75,000.
A reward of $5,000 has been offered fortbeIr ar
rest and conviction. The Burlington road has in
formed trainmen that $1,000 will be paid to every em
ploye who kills a train robber. All the' conductors
and brakemen are armed with revolvers and have
been requested to perfect themselves by target prac
tice. It Is also announced that vigorous prosecutiop
will follow every capture, a number of headquarters
having been established for the detection of offenders.
This determination of the railroad companies is
praiseworthy. The country east of the Rockies is not
so sparsely settled that train robbing can be followed
with Impunity. The present revival of the industry
must not be permitted to become fascinating.
..
WHAT IS THE SCHEME?
The Star offers some excellent advice to the Globe.
It says: .
If the Globe-Democrat wants to be fair
to Itself and. friendly to the crusade against
boodling. It will stop the mention of the
name, of Joseph W. Folk In connection with
the senatorahlp from Missouri.
And the Star's conclusions drawn from the Globe's
persistent and impudent mention of Mr. Folk are
worthy of consideration. "Boosting" Mr. Folk at
present may be regarded, possibly, as an attempt to
remove him from his present sphere of usefulness,
made In behalf of those who fear him and the results
of his work.
The Star observes, with reason:
'A serious and probable result of the
Globe-Democrat's persistence might be to
furnish unfair explanations of Mr. Folk's
work in the boodle crusade to those whose
personal Interest and safety It la that the
crusade should be misinterpreted and that
Mr. Folk should be put in the light of-a
man who has ulterior schemes and per
sonal aggrandizement to further under the
guise of past and pending investigations
and prosecutions.
The Globe's former open, bitter opposition to Folk
and boodle investigations well justifies the Star's sug
gestion. At first the Globe expressly attributed Folk's
boodle Investigations to motives of personal ag
grandizement and characterized him as a designing
politician.
Then the Globe shifted its position to fit a strong
and well-defined public opinion that favored the Cir
cuit Attorney's good work, but there Is no reason to
suppose that Its real enmity toward him has under
gone the slightest change.
If there has been a real change will the lobster
kindly inform the public what has operated to produce
the new notion of boosting Mr. Folk?
--.
A CLAPTRAP ISSUE.
If the Republican machine Is trying to suppress
the movement for analyzing and perfecting the elec
tion law, the politicians who are running that ma
chine are most faithfully represented by the Globe.
Every day the Globe hunts the dictionary for terms
with which to express wanton insult to the Demo
cratic majority in the Legislature.
This specimen would be impressive not in per
suading the Democrats of St. Louis and the majority
In the Legislature to make changes in the law:
The Republlo Is surprised that any one
should say the Nesblt law was expressly
devised to steal elections. We are surprised
that any one should hate the insolent men
dacity to deny it.
If the approach to changes In the law must be
made through an acknowledgment that the Legis
lature of 1S99 expressly devised a law to steal elec
tions no approach will be made.
But one conclusion can be drawn from the Globe's
tactics. The gang machine is determined to prevent
an effectual discussion of the subject from a non
partisan standpoint. There are earmarks of another
asinine issue like the "looted" School Fund Just a
clamor about elections, without facts or arguments.
a-
JUVENILE COURT.
It Is stated that members of the Missouri Society
of Charities and Correction and a special committee
of the St Louis Bar Association have practically
agreed upon a bill to be presented at the next session
of the General Assembly for the establishment of a
Juvenile Court in this city.
The bill provides for the assignment of a Circuit
Judge to attend to all offenders; this term being used
Instead of criminals.
In deference to their youth, those under the care
of the court will be detained, not arrested. Reform
schools where the habitually criminal are not admitted
will be established.
Might it not be just as well to call these schools
Industrial Institutions, as is done In. the case of the
Girls' Industrial Home In Klrksville? The present
system of juvenile correction should be changed and
every effort made to remove a supposition or con
sciousness of heinous wrongdoing.
Though the prices of stocks have declined many
points during the past few weeks, there has been no
contraction of business. It is significant that the.
solid commercial Interests of the country have not
been drawn Into the speculative whirl enough to en
danger their own prosperity. The present situation
in the stock market is more of a cause for congratula
tion than anything else, for it denotes a general sanity
that speaks much for the confidence of the people.
.
During the campaign the Globe Insisted that the
Supreme Court, for partisan purposes, had sealed the
ballot boxes so that fraud could not be detected. Yes
terday the same organ declared that "there can be no
difficulty In finding out what is in the ballot boxes of
St. Louia" Oh, these lobsters.

MISS SLATTERY IS INTRODUCED
AT BALL GIVEN BY HER SISTER.
.- College Konaense.
The Independent. r '
By College Nonsense we do not now mean the extreme
cult of football which culminates Saturday nor the ordl
nary forma of rowdyism, nor the stealing of signs in the
rage for memorabilia, nor the absurdities of initiation Into
silly societies, nor the extravagance of the elective ss
tern, bui a comparatively new eruption of silliness in the
imposition of rules for college conduct of freshmen. We
might expect some such inanity at some small country
college, but it has broken out at Columbia and Cornell.
We do not hear of It yet. we are glad to nay, In Harvard
or Tale. The upper-class men actually hold a meeting
and formulate rules for the behavior of freshmen, telling
them what kind of a hat or cap they must wear, where
and how they must or must not smoke, what favored sa
loons they must not visit, and a number of other such Im
pertinent regulations which Interfere with liberty, and Kre
none of the business of the upper-class men. A student
who respects himself and his fellow-students will have no
part In such rude nonsense. The decent way Is to welcome
new students with courtesy and treat them with considera
tion. The Imposition of such rules may seem very amus
ing, but the trouble is that it Is sot altruistic, another
word for Christian. We may seem to be making a serious
matter out of a small and humorous thing, but there Is a
principle Involved which is really very serious. The
sophomore or senior who makes himself so much better
than a freshman will come out of college and be likely to
think himself of finer stuff than the nondiversity man.

As the work of preparation for the gigantic Louisiana
Purchase Barpoeltion progresses In the city of St. Louis,
new plans, reconstructions, reorganizations succeed one an
other in rapid order, and every new move has facilitated
and added the accomplishment of the great World's Fair
to be held In DM. Particularly in this respect was the ad
dition of a Board of Lady Managers to co-operate with
the male Directors In the completion of the tremendous un
dertaking. To show how well they have done their share of the
work, so far, needs but the mention of a single Incident
When the building of the Temple of Fraternity was pro
posed a couple of months ago, they promised a $50,000 con
tribution to the, fund or one-quarter of the whole required
amount.
Each member of this board Is a woman whose work In
club circles has made her prominent. This means a great
deal when one considers that the city of St Louis is one
of the big centers of woman clubdom. Therefore, she
stands forth a chosen champion of woman's economic free
dom. Together they stand for the majority of the strongest
societies organized by the fair sex on either side of the
Mississippi, such as the Rebekahs, Order of the Eastern
Star, Ladles of the Maccabees of the World, Royal Neigh
bors of America and the Degree of Honor.
It is no Idle conjecture to state that the Board of Lady
Managers for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition represents
an aggregate of 1,000,000 American women.

Do not neglect any cold Is the advice suggested by
Doctor Reynolds, the Commissioner of Health of Chicago.
The tables of mortality of that city show that for the
week ending November 8. 1902, there were sixty-seven
deaths from pneumonia, while from "consumption" there
were but forty-nine. This increase of pneumonia Is a
fact to which we have previously called attention. To
what extent it obtains throughout the country and world
we have not the data at hand to say, but It is evident
that In several parts of the United States pneumonia Is
the mo3t widespread and fatal of all acute disease, out
stripping pulmonary tuberculosis as the chief Item in
the tables of mortality. The advice Is, therefore, timely
and needed: "Do not neglect a cold, however slight at
this season of the year."

u
F thou were by my side, my love!
How fast would evening fall
In green Bengala's palmy grove.
Listening the nightingale!
If thou, my love, wert by my side,
My babies at my knee.
How gayly would our pinnae glide
O'er Gunga's mimic seat
"
,
I mlbs thee at tho dawning gray.
When, on our deck reclined.
In careless ease my limbs I lay
And woo the cooler wind.
I miss thee when by Gunga's stream
My twilight steps I guide.
But most beneath the lamp's pale beam
I miss thee from my side.
I spread my books, my pencil try.
The lingering noon to cheer.
But miss thy kind, approving eye.
Thy meek, attentive ear.
But when at morn and eve the star
Beholds me on my knee,
I feel, though, thou art distant far.
Thy prayprs ascend for me.
Then on! then on! where duty leads.
My course be onward still.
O'er broad Hlndostan's sultry meads.
O'er bleak Almorab's hill.
That course nor Delhi's kingly gates.
Nor mild Malwah detain;
For sweet the bliss us both awaits
By yonder Western main.
Thy towers, Bombay, gleam bright, they
Across the dark blue sea;
But ne'er were hearts so light and gsy
As then shall meet In thee!
