HON. .1. N. FOOTB AND JIB. PTLMUNE.
Our esteemed contr-tiirKiraiy the Texas County
Tlimmw. or Jacks rorkc. prints this week an Inter
view with one of its citizens. Mr. Eph l'tiHnine, re
jrariJinjr tho Honorable .1. N. Koote. "whom lie met
st Peno, Christian County, on December 13. while
visilinc pome cnttle which lie had there on tiastuie
for the winter."
Mr. Pnllliine's pulilMiod remarks are far from
complimentary to the Honorable Koote. who calls
our attention to them. This paper does not by any
means assume the burden of Honorable route's con
troversies, but we think It but fair to present hero
his observations in turn upon Mr. P.. who secured
n public medium for his criticism. A man publicly
attacked should be accorded the privilege of a reply.
Finite j-ajs in his co:umunication addressed "To the
People":
The- point that strikes me about this
Mr. Eph Pullblne 1 that he hnd hl cattl"
over there at Peno on pasturage for the
Tinier. At lcM that's what the Jacks
Torks paper ray In Its preface to the
extravagant article upon mv chararter
and personality, and tho onlv ennclusion
I can arrivs at is that either the Jacks
Forks Journalist Is deluded or Mr. Bph
Pullblne. Is a mighty careless farmer, for
who ever heard of putting cattle out on
pasture down there at this timo of year?
Everybody else at Peno is feeding his
stock at this timo of year. Thcv ha
herd winters there and no sensible man
that I know of counts on a ery lieaw
crop of winter Brass. I know Christian
Cojnty is a fine county, but It won't pas
ture a (treat many cnttle when It Is under
idx Indies of snow. At any rate I'll leave
It to the people. To my mind something
is wrons somevhero with this Mr. Pull
bine who criticises me so severely, but I
fotbuar to say anything about him al
though I saw lilm, conversed with him
and had ample opportunity (more than I
wanted, in fact) for observing him."
This leaves nothlnj: to be added by us, the case
bciiiE, ns Honorable Foote suggest, one for the
people.

WHO ARE DEMOCRATS?
Between 1900 and last summer the Democratic
party was dluged with advice on the twin subject
of reorganization and regularity. Some thousands
of political Coctor told the party bow to win suc
cess with new lenders; and some other thousands
fulminated threats against everybody who had not
fully agreed with tbe leadership of 1S0G and 1900.
Preliminary utterances Indicate thnt we are to
have another four years of the same fluent advising.
Scnslblc'Democrats may profitably begin at oncp
to combat the Idea that one faction or another Is
to administer the affairs of the party by proscribing
other factions.
In the struggle of contemporary ambitions. In the
honest or simulated cntliusla.sm over temporary be
liefs, many men lose sight of the eternal purposo
of rhe Democratic party. The party has one inN
tt'oTT which gives It .1 lire as long as that of the
human race; and that mission is the protection of
the individual against the encroachments of power.
The Democracy of the world is organized under
varied forms. In the United States the organization
is most definite and complete, but In etery country
thcie is a democratic movement, and in caseiitiaU
It Is everywhere the same. Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none is the begiunlng and end
of Democratic euergy. Eiery ijuestion of a par
ticular time must be, by the Democratic party.
Judged under tbe test of its application to this prin
ciple. And Democratic organization was never more
needed. All other political bodies aie moving to
ward a renewal of feudalism nud oligarchy. All
other tendencies are toward the limitation of man
liopd by the selfish wishes of privilege. The recent
campaign in the United States, ending in appaient
disaster, was of vast sen-ice in developing lines of
action for the Democracy. The Democratic parry
lost few of Its supporters. Many were not aroused
and iiM not vote, but they arc Democrats and
are icady to be loval oters. when their minds
seize upon the issues which the times picsent.
DiMMLsbiou itltlilu the party may proceed, must
proceed. Hut. to be piofltablc. It must clarify ques
tions, not iuilaiue fjitionjl ilistui-t. Kterv nun
who believes m the exaltation, the cnLour.igement.

WATCH THE I.OIilli.
It is as n-grettable as it ih true that .1 stiong
demonstration of public consWelKc cannot of itself.
ipso facto and at oute accomplis-li reform-. 1 he
meie fact tli.it public opinion is outspoken iig.un-t
an evil does not ueceivaiilj mean the 'iul of tii.it
evil. OthcnvNe we should have a voiy clean state of
things here in Missouri at present, inning the In-t
two jears the people have almost constantly neil
out against ration, forms of corruption. 'I he pul
pit, the politicians am! the iu have combined to
place the stamp of public disippioval upon almost
I everything which in repieheuhfnlc In soveinmeiitnl
and administrative c-micenis. l!ut the actual re
sults for good will depend upon the men who have
been pur in ollice as the people's agents.
I-pecially have the people decried that form of
conuptiou Willi vvhldi the lobbv is associated, and
have laid the ban against the lobby ils-Hf Lobbv -ism
is In deepest disrepute in .Missouri. Hut Its dis
grace, the public clamor against it. the ier.se antipa
thy to it, will only drive it to cre.iter s,.,ecy and
caution. That the coming Legislature will have a
strongly organized and closelv knit lubbv. perhaps
the most formidable in 3 cats, is conclusively indi
cated by drifl.s which come from the undoieurient
of politics.
Gorernor Folk's election has not accomplished
reform, but has merely brought him to the threshold
of reform in this direction. To watch, to detei t and
to thwart the lobby, which will include and proba
bly have its nucleus in members of the Assembly
themselres. will demand the most unremitting
vigilance and vigorous opposition; and m this task
he should have the intelligent aid of the honest
members In both house". A lobby winking from
within is a moie difficult and dangerous matter than
one operating from without, but with the coopera
tion of honest members the Governor should be
able to solve the problem.
The final routing of lobbyism will come only
when the man who willies to influence legislation
is compelled to do his work in the open, in public.
Tho laws which arc made for the people by their
repreentatives must be made publicly, deliberations
must be public, objections and qualification- must
be in full view, and solicitations must be open and
aboveboard. When such legislative i-onditious
come, as they must inevitably, there will be an end
to what we tnow as the lobby. Hut the lobby may
Ik? at once rendered virtually a nullity if honest
forces in the Legislature will combat it intelligently.
Between the lobby influcii'c and the lawmaking
force the point of ontact the place where the in
fluence touche! is difficult to locate under any cir
cumstances. Hut when the lobby is on the inside,
when the lobby Influence and the lawmaking body
arc to a certain extent the same. It would leiiuire
some power alniot supernatural to delect its .ip
erafions from the outside. The Governor will ri-
quirc inside help to combat the lobby at Jefferson
City during tlie coming session, and that help should
be given at the very outset. Tho lobby should be,
if possible, prevented from "lining up" weal; legis
lators. Weak ones there are. Many of the ISepuli
Ilcan members were nominated by machine ele
ments the Republican voters in the counties paying
little attention to the matter, being without hop'
of electilic" their tickets and their election came as
a surprise. Some communities awoke to find nntJ'
plrable men In legislators' shoo The "old guard"
in the Senate and the professional lobbyists on the
outside will exert every effort to "own" the new
members. Rep.1blic.1n or Democratic. How many
o them arc capable of being possessed remains
to be seen. Xhe senatorial struggle indicates that
several of them are. but. happily, that not nil of
them are. Some of the new timber appear to 'w
strong.
Honest forces In the Assembly should be organ
i?ed in aid of tho Governor, who has declared im
placable antagonism to the lobby, for only by or
ganized vigilance and common effort can tho anti
lobby elements be thoroughly effective. Between
honest members of the Legislature no partisanship
should be allowed to prevent earnest co-operation to
this end.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Railway accidents aie a piomiuent feature of
American news. We have become habituated to
the story of the tiain wreck; It occasions no binprifc
to the reader; unless the disaster is of unusual hize
or is attended by unusual circumstances It moves no
comment. Now and then harrowing details in the
form of statistics are given the public.
The accident tejiort of the Interstate Commerce
Commission shows that 4L'0 passengers and :i,.!i7
employes were killed in the year ending last June,
and that 8,077 passengers and 43.26G employes were
Injured in the same period. The report gave rise to
a statement that casualties wete Increasing at n
more rapid rate than mileage, than freight traffic,
than operating expenses or gross earnings, than
money spent in improvements and rolling stock, and
faster than the total number of passengers car
ried; in a word, that casualties were Increasing
faster than anything else even speed incident to
the 1 all way business.
Mr. Feiton, president of the Chicago and Alton,
answers this statement with ample statis-tics, which
show that travel is safer than It was fifteen years
ago and that the proportion of accidents to the
total number of paisseugeis carried Is less. There
is some consolation In the answer but It Is hard
to reflect long on comparative petcentages with tho
harrowing results of last year in mind. We ute
glad there were no more killed and injured, but we
arc horrified thnt there were so many.
Another railway president is quoted with a state
ment which is of immense interest in this connec
tion that DO per cent or the railway accidents un
due to the carelessness of employes. If this lie true
1hc public's quarrel Is less with defective appliances,
high speed, congested tiaffic and other mechanical
conditions than It supposed. Given peifect condi
tions as to these things and we should still have
the larger part of our accidents.
Undoubtedly the statement has a large ttuth in
It and a gtavu warning to railway management
more care should be expended uion the elimination
of the dangers of carelessness; In the minimizing
nnd division of responsibility among individuals, and
in the selection of the individuals. Our railroads
cannot be too well manned, and the less responsi
bility for tbe protection of human life that Is Lild
upon one man the better. Mechanical Improve
ments reduce the responsibility. President Roose
velt recognizes this In the recommendation for a
Federal law making mechanical signals compulsoiy
upon all roads.
Improvement of the safely of railroading must
go on rapidly It must never cease. It must go on
rapidly to keep pace with other features of im
provement and growth. Tho Interstate Commerce
leport pieachcs this. It is good to know that, not
withstanding our gieat iuctease in speed, travel is
less dangerous; than formerly: but that it is still far
too dangerous for i-oinfort every man knows and
feels. I'ifiy-fivc thousand killed or maimed by the
railroads last year Is a story which read" like
war and is not less horiiulc: the barbarity of pence
and (hillziitiiiu.
