THEN..AND XOW.
"The fact Is lamentably clear," says Ananias,
"that from the moment Folk conceived the idea of
running for Governor he has been playing a double
liart." That is true, but not In the sense in which
Ananias intends it. Kolk has been llshtlnc the
btodlers both In the courts and In politics. Tliere
was a time, not lonj; since, when the Globe indorsed
.oth parts played by Folk, and urged his nomina
tion upon the people. But ,now, having espoused
ihe boodlers in the train of Butler and Walbridge.
the Globe naturally regards Folk as an enemy. It
is Interesting to recall the Globe's Indorsements of
Folk in the days before that organ found its inter
osts to He with the boodle elements. Just a little
less than a year ago it said, editorially:
"But supposing Folk to be elected at the head of
Ihe Democratic State ticket, what could he person
ally do? It Is a fair question. Governor Folk would
have the veto power, for one thing, 01 er bills and
parts of WIls, and that, In honest hands, would be
a check on sandbnggers and equally guilty lobby
ist,. A Governor of Missouri has functions of great
weight In connection with the legislature. His ap
liointlTe powers render him a friend or an enemy
of fair elections and competent police departments
In the large cities. Governor Folk could personal
ly direct the movements of the State Attorney Gen
eral. It is for the Governor to say when the Attor
ney General may employ additional counsel, a s-po-dally
Important duty in dealing with boodle
charges. In fighting corruption Goernor Folk
Would havS the co-operation of the republican mem
b'ers of Hie legislature, because they woujd.jjcljeve
In hH sinccrily in upholding ollicial -integrity.
Go-.rrnor Folk would, it Is believed, hweep
nwny prcrcut icn.il conditions and throw his in
flupiieo alwsjs on ihe side of official integrity. His
courage aud jwwer of Insight are admitted. King
papers who fancy Hint he will do nothing or can do
nothing to purify Missouri if elected Governor on
the Democratic ticket arc foolish in the extreme."
In those diijs the Globe thought that the truth
would do no harm and it covered the truth pretty
thoroughly. Nowadays, It Is the truth which Ana
nias fear., and It still covers it .In another way.
AN IMPETUS TO PKOGKESS.
The person who hasfetudlcd conscientiously (he
many articles written In description and praise of
the St. Louis Exposition may form an impiesslon
that its Aalue to the people or the United States is
overcsllmaled. An exposition may be magnificent,
conipreheiifche and expensive, peerless in all re
spects, and yet tho person who has not seen It can
not comprehend how It can be indescribable.
Instead of exaggerating the educational impor
tance of a practically perfect universal exposition,
the real possibility is of minimizing. The ejlicacy of
n great vital Institution, in which all nations are. un
livery Inteicsled, is nol restricted lo Hie locality or
country In which it is held, but reaches oven be
jond the territories concerned through participation.
There can be no question that beneficial consequences
of the Exposition will lw witnessed In England, Ger
many, Japan, throughout Europe, and in the native
lands or tho savage tribes which are represented
here.
The chief advantage of a universal exposition is
the International influence. It Is an-innuencc that
gives Impetus lo progress. It is an influence that
acts in (he meeting of people from different coun
tries, as well as In cxeniplillcatlon of the modes of
living, of Iho customs, of the Industries, of the pur
suits and of Ihe works of divers races and peoples,
nepresentntives of and visitors from foreign coun
tries will carry this Influence to their homes and
give it currency, and they share in giving It cn
cry In this country, where tho effects are ccrlaiu
to Iks greater.
The value of the St Louis Exposition a an edu
cational force, Its magnificence as a picture and its
IMl'EItlALISM.
To the mothers of the country, in a heart-to-heart
talk, Mr. Koosevelt has said, "Be prolific."
To the jouths he has said, "Be fcoldiers."
To the grown men he has declared. "No man who
Is unwilling lo take up arms and light is lit to live
in this country or lias any right to live in any free
republic."
And to the soldiers themselves, "I have no use
for any soldier who does not love war for war's
sake. I do not desire such a man for a friend."
To the nation lie has advised, "Speak hoftly and
carry a big stick."
Thus he has given us a pretty complete scheme
of imperialism, beginning with the cradle and end
ing shall we say? at the grave. We could easily
imagine the Czar talking in this fashion to KuNsia
where, by the way, the Government is now- said
to be drafting children for naval service at Vladi
vostok. 15ut an imperialistic President is distinctly
something new, and. a good many people believe,
out of place in America. The necessity for an im
perialistic President does nol appear. In tho past
under 11 constitutional Government with constitu-
tional Presidents we have done very well. AVe have
declared war when necessary, and have defended
the Monroe Doctrine successfully at every stage.
The American people have shown themselves able
at short notice to turn out and outfight their ad
versaries. Then why make war and conquest first
considerations?
1
Shall we have Mr. Itoosevelt and a "military $3-5-tem"
in this country? Shall we make military serv
ice compulsory on the youth of the country"' ShiU
it be a Government of the army, for the army and
by ihe army? Ilooseveltism obviously leads in that
direction.
Peace bai for a century and a quarter, with one
or two brief Interruptions, prevailed between this
country and the other countries. But Mr. Roose
velt for three years has emphasized our warlikeness.
Represented by him, the country has "showed Its
teeth" to the nations; It has been made to snarl.
Instead of "speaking softly," America has been
made more or less of a bully by tho gentleman
who lamented that there wasn't enough of the Span
ish War to go 'round the gentleman who thinks
we should teach un-sclf-rcspectlng South American
nations to respect themselves and their obligations.
Do we not require a constitutional President who
will be a guarantee of peace? Life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness not tho pursuit of war
are Hie tilings for which the American Republic has
stood In the past. They are more prized by the
people than foreign territory, the acquisition of
which benefits nobody but the officeholders. Give
ns a President with a constitutional point of view
and a peaceable propensity, rather than the incum
bent who pants for a crowded hour of glorious life
In khaki and sliaps, with a biographer at his heels.
In (he nature of a leal and sizable issue. Demo
crats should nol allow Ihe Ananias press to hide
Butler behind Cook and Alien.
There is no use in trilling with Ihe sl?e of Mr.
Folk's majority or Ihe overwhelming irilure of the
'ai!'r!i!3-e-2:ilt!e--BoodIo defeat. The landslide in
November will hurt the politicians, of either party,
who attempt to detract from Ihe force of the real
Issue either by the obtrusion of nonessentials or in
any other manner or for any purpose whatsoever.
.
The Globe would like to conduct an ex-parte ex
amination of Folk in tl.e nature of a pillorying to
draw attention away fiom the main issue in the
campaign and the real nature of the Walbrldgc-llut-ler-IiOMlIe
movement. uut the thing won't wont.
The boodle Issue cannot be obscured by anything so
perfectly transparent, nor can the Infamy of the
anti-Folk conspiracy.

THE REAL ISSUE.
Mw-sourians are not going to interest themselves
deeply In any controversy between iiolitlcians as
to "politics" unless that controversy should disclose
an attempt on the part of inimical Democratic lend
ers to embarrass Mr. Folk nnd weaken the principle
for which lie stands. Merc bickerings, disputes and
exploited misunderstandings on minor matters have
no place In this campaign and no interest for the
public. To indulge in them is an exhibition of bad
Judgment, and moreover is a waste of time and
breath.
An overwhelming majority of the population of
Missouri stands solidly behind Mr. Folk and the
principle of integrity in public service. That major
ity will express itself at the polls In just eleven
weeks. The battle w 111 be made on the Issue which
is aim nas ucen lor mounts immuianiy rormeu nu
fixed. The only kind of politics which can bring
Hint issue Into serious question Is the politics of op
position. The public Is thoroughly Interested and
alive to the Walbridce-Butler-Boodlc alliance formed
to down Hie man who is against corruption, but the
nmall politics, the Internecine disputes' and per
sonal disnissioiis, which nie inevitable in every cam
paign, have a minimum of interest and a weight
next to nothing with Hie people in the present Mis
fromi campaign. This is Hie people's campaign
r.triclly, and (he politicians' contiovcryies have no
place therein. They cauuot affect Ihe people's ae
lion one whit as lo the issue. But they may hurt
the politicians guiltj or provoking them. The ob
trusion of immaterial and irrelevant matlcis should
be left lo Hie parly which has no issue. On the
part of the party which has an Issue of the size
of the Missouri issue trifling is lneie than ordinarily
icpiehensible.
MisKourians are not concerned with a dispute
over the responsibility for the nominations of
.Messrs. Cook and Allen. They wvrt Humiliated he
cause a sufficient number of Missouri Democrats In-;
Mulcted delegates for them, and they could not have
been defeated imlej, delegates had disregarded in
structions. Folk i-otild have secured their defeat by
demanding that the delegates violate their obliga
tions In (he .people. He did nol make that uncon
ditional demand, and he is universally commended
for Ihe stand 1k adopted toward them. It js stlf-
iiciciii iov uie people 01 .vussoun, Keptiliiicau or
Democratic, that these men are personally honest,
capable officers, who have been tried in service anil
have given thorough satisfaction.
Tlie charge that Folk asked these men to run for
officu Is obviously weak and absurd. The effort (o
chargo him with placing them on (he ticket mul'
fall of lis own weakness. Mr. Folk left Ihe minor
nominations to the people, and he abided by the
people's decision.
But. In any event, the Cook and Allen controversy
occupies an Infinitesimal Importance Inside Ihe
great question before the people. The Cook ami
Allen controversy belongs with Ihe inconsequential
politics exploited by the Republican organization in
lieu of a real defense to the Iwodle Issue. Demo
cratic, consideration of Ihat controversy serves lo
do nothing more than lend color lo the- Republican
pretense. The Republican press would, if it could,
make the Democratic minor nominations the iue:
whereas the head of the Democratic ticket is the
real issue feared by the Republican clique with Its
Butler and boodio affiiatious
RECENT COMMENT.
Will rtoot Sacrifice Himself!
Harper's "Weekly.
How hard Is tho heart of Mr. Ellhu Itoot? It must be
flint. If ho can hold out against the entreaties of his Re
publican fellow-citizens of JCcw York that ho shall lead
them in their State fight this fall. And yet why should
lie lead them? Nobody supposes that Mr. Root wants at
this time to be Governor of New York. Ho has Just sot
out of public ofllec after a Ions period of very hard and
important work. Most of his pay for that work he took
in reputation, and In the consciousness that he was doing
lils duty and promoting confidence In the administration
of his friend. Colonel Roosevelt. Must he give himself up
Indefinitely to promotinB confidence In Colonel Roosevelt?
Is It not possible that Mr. Root may feel that the Colonel
Is entitled now to have an unfettered chance to Inspire
confidence In himself, and that tho people of the country,
and especially of the President's own State, should be
left undlstracted to say whether they vinnt him or not?
In an emergency th" work of Inplrlnfc confidence In an
other man mcy be worthy of the biggest of men and no
blest of patriots. Mr. Root has hoed his row well
through. There Is no sufficient reason why he should run
for Governor of New York unless he wants to. It takes
two wholo jcars to be Governor of New York, besides the
trouble of running. If Mr. Root wants to be Governor,
let him run; if ho thinks tho people of the State need
him at Albany, let him run. But he should not be ex
pected to run to oblige "a friend nor to make anyone
President except hlmsilf.

It has often been asked If Joseph W". Tolk lud it In
his power to defeat the nomination of any other man
at tho recent Democratic Convention. To this we say
no; and the reason for this answer Is simple enough for
any man to understand. In a. majority of counties In the
State primaries were held Fome weeks previous to the
convention, to give tho Democrats a chance to cypres;
thir choice for various State candidates The delegates
from these counties went to the State Convention carry
leg credentials vvhu.Ii said they "hoiild vot for tho can
didate who had received the majority of votes In the
counti'-s at the prlmarl'. and the delegates could not
have boiled these Instructions had they desired to do .
The men who were nominated at Jcfferou City received
their nominations from these delegates who had been
Instructed In tbi county primaries to vote for Ihefe can
didates. Had Joeph 'VV. Folk advhed any delegate to
bolt his Instruction Mr. Folk would have done wrong, at
he would have beromo n dictator who was endeavoring
to override tho will of the people, who have made tho
nomination this time. Early In Ihe campaign Mr. Tolk
and his friends a3ked for primaries In the counties, and
it would have been Inconsistent for cither Mr. Folk or his
friends to have advocated a bolt.

this characteristic is weakening, and that the vigor of

STUDIES OF CHILDREN
ARE MANY AND INTERESTING.
William M. Chase. Cecelia Beaux, Garl
J. Mclchers, Louise Cox. John C. Johan
scn. Robert Vonnoh, William II. Lippln
cott and J. G. Brown are among the prin
cipal contributors to the portraiture of
children in the American section of th
World's Fair Art Palace.
It is a pleasant thing to find in a collec
tion that the children have not been over
looked. An art gallery without a child's
faco here and there Is like a family with
out children.
In the number of child subject th
American section Is not deficient. It may
be remarked upon specially, in this con
nection, in comparison with the German
and tho British sections, splendid as the
latter are. In a general way one recall!
In tho German section portraits of military
dlgnltark-s. historic or deathbed scenes,
particularly the deathbed pictures. Of the
English, you remember portraits of cele
brated men and gorgeous compositions by
such men as Alma Tadfma, Burne-Jones
or Sir Edward Poynter.
One's central IropreEsIon of the American
section does not have to do with the chil
dren. In fact. It is difficult to say what
the central Impression is. unless It be the
Whistler rjortralt: but the presence of the
little ones Is felt, and Is gratifying among
scattered Impressions.
The Chase pictures probably are the
most important of this class. In the main
gi'.lery of the west wing of the building
and upen the wert wall. Nos. 125 and 127,
are hung two of his paintings of chlldrea
called, reypectively, "When One Is Young"
and "Master RoberL" As the titles indi
cate, the one savors of the fanciful, while
the latter is a portrait. ,
As everybody haa been saying all tho
Chase pictures shown at this exhibition
all save one. No. 12S, a still life, which
treats that highly appetizing commodity,
dressed flrfi are disappointing. The artists
I have talked w Ith declare that the color
In?, the handling and the composition in
the study of the dead fish are simply mar
velous. They Insist that It Is a symphony
in dead fish or the equivalent, which, since
they say fo. probably Is the case. Cer
tainly the fish are painted with a. vigor
and directness which Is wonderful. How
ever, despite artist friends and enemies
and though one may not think that his
two studies of children possess the force
expected from a painter of Chase's stand
ing, these are very likable caT.vases.
The first-mentioned, "When One Is
Young," Introduces a handsomely dressed
pretty little girl, who smiles from the
frame and who seems to be dancing. The
painting of it is interesting, belnjT accom
plished very simply and directly. In senti
ment. It lacks only bpontanlety, the qual
ity possessed. If at any time, when one is
joung. This pretty little girl, pretty and
attractive as sne may be from another
viewpoint, cannot represent to many that
halcyon time when one was young. When
one Is young, one does not characteris
tically look as if one bad Just bee
brushed, cleaned up and blessed with a
new frock or .sjit. StilL wealthy custom
era like dreased-up or wholly undressed
people In pictures and, really, no one se
riously bionics the artists for accommo
dating themselves to these powerful de
mands In the picture market.
"Master Robert" is the better painting
of the two. It Is a straightforward por
trait of a sturdy American boy, one of
those lads with square face, deep-blue
eyes, ar.d the suggestion of very positive
character.
"Waiting'' is tto subject of a charming
child-study by Louise Cox. No. 153 one
of those thlrgs to which women Inevita
bly apply tho adjective "dear." It la a
"dear" young girl that Is painted. She,
too. Is excessively well dressed. She la
sitting, waiting. One does not need any ta
formatlon other than the child's eyes, that
she is waiting lor her mother. One fan
cies from these bright, deep-brown eyes,
which are fulj of precocity, that she Is
convinced that no amusement whatever
lies In this waiting, but that she's re
solved ta be a goo J girl and wait pa
tiently. No. il. by Cecilia Beaux, ard No. 507, by
Garl Melchers. are child studies full of
character. Tho former expresses that mute
sufferini; of a child whose health Is poor
and the latter Introduces two quaintly at
tired peasant children of France. The Vcn
noh child picture. No. 794. treats another
of thoso waxen little girls whose good
fortune surrounds them with luxuries.
Newsboys are the theino of the principal
of the Brown pictures, and, though they
are more or less popular. It 13 difficult to
apply any of the standards of painting to
them and explain their success.
