J. p. FARISH. My term, expires April ,26. 1805. ; . " MISSOURI MUST UAKE GOOD. -In more than one sense boodle will continue to be the issue in Missouri, notwithstanding the fight which is sure td be -won next Tuesday by the elec tion of Folk and dean tickets, State and municipal. In a practical sense boodle will be the issue with fy honest man-put Into office, whether legislative, administrative or judicial. "Aggressive honesty" re quired, of every man under the new regime in this State means official, vigilance. To strike promptly at, corruption wherever It should raise its head in the ma tiny, In the construction or in the enforce ment, of, law win be demanded of every public errant To this extent it will be the Issue In the Governor's chair and In the several administra tive' offices; in the Legislature, in the courts, high and low; in the Circuit Attorney's and the Prosecut ing Attorneys' office the Influence of aggressive honesty must be potently present In every branch of th governmental agency; to be exercised If need be. The high standard of official demeanor will be Mt.tr. the people and must be rigidly followed by the people's servants. Every .man who goes Into the people's service must, have that standard before hita as a fixed guide of action. Public opinion will exact of Urn the fullest compliance. Boodle will be the issue, in this sense, because the public at large wU carefully watch the prac tical application of the principle in Missouri's affairs. Will the elected men carry out in service what the people have so stridently declared in politics? How win. this, new reform work out In Missouri? These question wUl have unceasing Interest and Immense Importance for. the whole nation. Missouri wil have to answer for the world whether it Is worth while to engage in the strenuous business of reforms. In brief, Missouri must demonstrate its proposition to the greater public. Much depends upon the kind of government we re to have In this State we cannot afford to have any bt the, best The penalty for failure will be mlversal , reproach.. We must ."make good" and through our public servants; which is an extra argu aient Infavor of minute care In the selection of then. The public should attend with greater care thsia ever In the history of the State to the small etaik of voting. A single mistake, through public Sadlfirerence or "neglect, may bring sufficiently grave consequences to destroy the whole of the distinction jichleved for the State through its brave course In the past two years. r - DOBS REFORM SUCCEED ITSELF? Residents of large cities recall the assertion of lUchard Oroker that "reform never succeeds Itself." By this he Implied that professional politicians al ways us confident of fooling the voters and getting anew lease on the public treasury in the lethargy Whlchfollows a. reform victory. And this assertion, Which- undoubtedly Is based upon experience. Im presses on dticena the force' of that other assertion, ttade -by sincere officials, that the hardest fight for good government has to be made in the principal elections which come immediately after the change, j, ..The two assertions are applicable to existing cuv eumstances in St Louis. There are two forces In - the field. One force is calculating on the Oroker assertion. 'The either force is led by nominees who ire credited with realizing betterment One' force H under the influence, of the old gang. The other - force is inspired by a respect for principle 'and by t4" tan rearnest desire for the extension and preserva- K&Vtlon of reform. .One force is the disreputable old iSl'jBang, .even to the nominees; while the other force .'-sjg the rood-government organization, also even to L'.'5:Thi this is exactly the situation In St Louis is K-liltaJiown'bT, a, mere dance at the tickets and at the LMj'ssaoBort of the tickets. One ticket has eangste'rs ;"S1VnTiIngfor office and is openly espoused by the gang.. -The other ticket has tried and trusted" men as nominees and receives the vigorous assistance of other tried and trusted nominees. Just to see how distinct civic duty Is, let citizens compare the tickets and the records, personal and ofllclal, of the nominees. Who Is the Democratic nominee for the governorship? Who the Repub lican? What has the Democratic nominee done? What has the Republican nominee done? Who is supporting the Democratic nominee? Who is sup porting the Republican nominee? Isn't the gang back of the Republican nominee? How about the other nominees? Isn't the gang personally repre sented on the Republican ticketsl The illustration shows what Croker meant in say ing that "reform never succeeds Itself" and what sincere officials meant by asserting that a cam paign like this one Is hotly contested. Oroker meant that the professional politicians are safe If they can Induce the public to overlook duty and restore public funds and great influence to the gang.. The officials meant that retrogression stops reform and progress unless the citizens ratify good government at succeeding elections. h4H MAKE IT 300,000. One hundred thousand majority for Folk would fit ly express Missouri's approval of the proposition that public affairs must be wholly freed from the taint of boodle, and would give an impetus to the Idea which will carry It far and forcibly into other Com monwealths. Two hundred thousand would be bet terthree hundred thousand better still; but one hundred thousand would tell the story convincingly to the country. There are about 700,000 voters in Missouri. At the last presidential election 351,922 ballots were cast by Democrats and 314,092 by Republicans. Four hundred thousand should be cast for Folk next Tuesday and that may be the figure. Fifty thousand Republican votes for Folk is, not an unreasonable estimate. The orators of the unholy alliance, denouncing theprosecutor and political antagonist of the boodle system before Republican audiences, have had no effect beyond turning many men's minds toward Folk and determining many others in the resolve not to vote against him: whereas these same orators have proved the very best campaigners for Folk in their Influence on Democrats, rousing them to come to the polls in full force. To these blatant ex ponents of a flagrant opposition to the right must be partly attributed the fact that Democracy will vote in great force and numbers. As the campaign nears its close their efforts have redoubled and the boodle newspapers, with the exception of a few of the shrewder ones which have ceased altogether, have increased their odious antagonism. Not a few Republicans will tell you they have been driven to support Folk by the very demeanor of the Re publican newspapers. The Republican rank and file, holding the highest respect for such men as former Campaign Manager Clinton Welch, J. H. Wood, Tom Mayo and other eminently respectable citizens prominently identi fied with the party in the past, have heard these men-denounced and reviled by the pie grabbers and political shysters now In control of the organization. The rank and file have heard the "leaders" boast of boodle contributions to the campaign fund and advertise with pride the support of Ed Butler. They have heard of how the "Colonel" would knife the St Louis Democracy. They have known with- .out looking at the newspapers that something was wrong with the Republican party this year. The Republican organization bears the marks and the manner of a boodle alliance. The better informed of the rank and file, familiar with the series of de velopments beginning with, the securing of Wal bridge's nomination at the hands Kf.the old City Committee in St Louis, having heard the statements of Welch, Russell, Nortonl and others at St Joseph, and perceiving how the fight went In St Louis In the boodle trenches, know full well the condition and character of their Bo-called, party. All things con sidered, 50,000 Republican votes are by no means too many to expect for Folk. A majority of 100,000 for Folk wonld be signifi cant to the country. It would convey the important announcement that bipartisan support may be ex pected everywhere for the principle of aggressive purification of public affairs. It would carry a vast encouragement to universal citizenship and n pro found .warning to corrupt politicians. One hundred thousand should bo given, and the responsibility to give it rests upon Republican citizens. Democracy's votes are already as good as counted. If the Republican citizen would stand up for Missouri at this critical time he must stand by the principle with which the State's character and honor are bound up inseverably. The Republican citizen must not permit small considerations, raised for his confusion, to obscure his view of the main issue, but must look clearly, think clearly and vote as con science leads, him. His. vote is vital; of the greatest moment to the community arid, consequently, of the highest Importance to himself. : . CLIQUES' IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS. By comparing the State or city government with their own business, or benefit-society matters, citi zens wlll.-find It much easier to understand the is sue in this campaign. Principles are identical in both directions, and they-submit to a common-sense view. As an -illustration, let it be 'assumed that an elec tion is to take place in a society. The members ore deeply interested In the result Until, recently the society had been managed by a clique, composed of, officers and directors. This clique had been de feated at the last preceding election, owing to the fear of the, members that it would wreck the so ciety. Careful, honest management- had been made, a direct Issue, and the members, in order to protect themselves, had elected officers and directors in whose Integrity and ability they had complete con fidence. These, new officers and directors -had ex posed the discrepancies and trickery of their prede cessors and also bad put the society's affairs in the best condition. Now there is another election. The former clique Is trying to get control again, but the trustworthy officers and directors are calling- upon the members to avoid any such risk. Or, let it be assumed that the managers of a cor poration had run the concern for their own benefit and had manifested a disregard for the interests of the stockholders.- The stockholders had elected other managers from their own membership, and the new managers had restored the concern's af fairs to a safe basis. Meanwhile, however the for mer managers had laid plans to be re-elected, be lieving that some of ,the stockholders ihight beln dlfferent The. two. parties the old managers and the new managers present the question to the stockholders at a pending election, and the stock holders have to decide, by the election, upon the con cern's future. The public corporation Is both a business con cern and a-society. Its officials are the managers, its- legislators are' the directors. The citizens' are the stockholders in the corporation; the members of this society. The officials: and legislators are elected by the citizens, and, therefore, '.whether the affairs are to be well 'managed or mismanaged depends upon the citizens. The 'managers and the directors merely act for the -stockholders or the members, as they do in a private business institution or In a so ciety. The issue in Ihte election is exactly like those as sumed In the cases of a business institution and a society. The citizens had been disgraced by the former officers and legislators; their Interests had been neglected, to the advantage of the sworn rep resentativea; mismanagement had jeopardized the public corporation. In order to save the public" cor poration; new managers and directors had been elected. The new management has reformed the system. And now the citizens see the previous fight renewed, the repudiated management being, desirous to be re-elected. Apply the illustration to St Louis. The Repub lican tickets represent the former management which was ousted. The Democratic tickets repre sent Integrity, efficiency and loyalty. The citizens, as stockholders In the, public corporation and as members of the society, are asked to choose be tween what evil there was and what good thero is; they are asked by the gang for a new lease on power and spoils; they are asked by the faithful managers and directors to approve of good govern ment and to preserve reform by wiping out the gang. There is no other way of looking at tills sit uation. Citizens who are sincere about their duty as stockholders In the public corporation, as mem bers of the public society, cannot remain In doubt as to how they should vote. -. Sager, as reported In the Republican papers, says In his speeches that he does not want "to follow in Folk's foofsteps." He also says that the election law and not boodle Is the issue. Having been a faithful Democrat until lately It was supposed that Sager was a fair sort of youth. But his own words seem to make him about the worst spot on tho spot ted ticket. ,$ There are several versions of the shooting of the Hull fishing fleet and each is authenticated. If a board of arbitration can form a trnthfni digest from the varying testimony, it should be possible to make peace universal and perpetual. . , The little collision which Senator Fairbanks met In his private car will be nothing to the smash when Tom Taggart's Special hits him on November 8. - The cone of Vesuvius has fallen Info the crater. If the crater falls In and pulls tho hole in after it there will be trouble. $ Mr. Roosevelt issues a proclamation appointing November 24 as Thanksgiving Day. Ho seems to overlook the 8th. $ Apparently the only smoke consumers In St Louis at present are the people. DANIEL GATLIN, JR.WEDS GERTRUDE HAMLEN AT BOSTON RECENT COMMENT. A Tragedy. London Punch.

As the midnight hour approaches, our hobo com mences to bethink himself of sleeping quarters, if he contemplates a longer stay. If it be summer, a "knowledge-box" (schoolhouse), church porch, outhouses, box cars, or even a sheltering tree by the roadside In the suTJorbs suffices., But when winter clutches the land In Its Icy embrace, these resorts are not quito comfortable enough. Our friend isn't fastidious, however, so he takes a moiety of his beer money, and secures quarters, for the night In a ten-cent lodging-house. Imagine the Bppne: A low-roofed, whitewashed room about 16 hv 12 .feet in dimensions, containing eight cots with occupants!. The doors and windows closed tightly to keep out tho cold, and, incidentally,- totally obstructing ventilation. All the-llght-to undress by Is what comeB-from a glitter ing candle about an Inch long,, which must be blown out Immediately upon undressing, by order of the proprietor. The beds (?) have for accessories rough canvas over an armful of straw for mattresses, and sacking for covers. But even the discomfort of these rough surfaces might be endured were it not that these downy luxuries are Infested with myriads of vermin. For that reason a hobo not yet on friendly terms with these obnoxious animals seldom dots more than loosen his clothing, and take oft his shoes. Imagine the healthful, delightful conditions which the purchaser of a ten-cent bed' gets for his money. On one side a husky fat grafter with heavy la bored snore. On the other a ferret-nosed thief , clutching nervously at the bedclothes as the vermin pay him extra attention. Five other beds with scratching occupants. The air is rank, polluted, stifling, poisonous. But what would you have? The hobo can't sleep outdoors in win ter. The vermin, he and his kind, almost the sob pa trons of these places, breed and bring themselves. The lodging-house keeper cannot give you an iron bedstead with brass mountings, a felt mattress, and springs' and clean linen for ten cents per night. On the Surface. Town Topics.

IbVXbV I't'S' nleun WHalilfeiMiH srsssss?CSaisBssl WHEN you are old-and gray and full of sleep And nodding by tho fire, take down this . book, 4 And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes .had once, and of their shadows deep. How many loved your moments of glad grace. And loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul In' you. And loved the sorrows of your changing face. And, bending down beside the glowing bars, . Murmur, a little sadly, how. love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead, And hldr"rds"facoamid a crowd of stars. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO TO-DAY IN ST.
