Tub race for Governor next year
promises to be quite an lntereftling
one.
If I may credit the De Soto Repub
lican's report of it. Got. Dockery made
quite a good Republican speech in
that town on the 4'.h. I doa't like po
litical commendation from the enemy,
though in this instanca he claims to
bare ample reason fur ioduiging in it.
It is as peculiar as it is unusual.
Some of the newspaper are saying
that by a recent decision of the Su
preme court Bro. N. A. Mozley of the
Bloom field Cosmos has come into the
possession of 10,000 acres of swamp
land. We hope that the report is true
and that Bro. Mozley will make a
million out, of the land. Ho lb one of
those "bully good fallows" we are
always glad to hear of prospering.
Henrt C. 13 ell, private secretary to
Congressman Kobb, chairman of the
Congressional c.mmitlee, and editor
of tha Potosi Independent, denios that
be was working UDdcr the direstion of
Ed. Kobb when the cannor of nomi
nating in this Congressional district
was changed from the convention to
the primary plan. In future the Eko
iSTEit does not care to discuss any
quostion with the Potosi Independent.
When, if over, are the insane pa
tients from Southeast Missouri now in
the other asylums, to be removed to
Farmington? Tho county clerk of this
county last week received a bill from
the Fulton a3ylum for the board of all
the inmates from this county in that
institution until January 1st, indi
cating that they expcot to keep them
there six months more anyway. The
question naturally suggests itself
"What was the Farmington institution
built for, anyway?" Just to furnish a
few comfortable borths for 3ome favor
ites ot the bosses?
The hydrophobia scare Ib about due,
and it may not be amiss to print these
comforting facts compiled by the St.
Louis Chronicle: "During tho past 20
years the S. P. U. A. of Hudson coun
ty, New Jersey, has employed about
20 different dog wardens, who were
constantly handling dogs of all de
giees and all ailments, but hydro
phopia is unknown to any of these ex
perts. One of these wardens, em
ployed continuously for the last seven
years by that society and the Jersey
City board of health, haB handled in
that time nearly 10,000 dogs, alwajs
catching the most vicious with bare
hands and without the aid of gloves,
nets or other accessories. He was
bitten or scratched over 300 times,
and bears 80 marks from these mutila
tions bitten by alleged mad dogs
many times, in some instances where
they frothed at the mouth." Ho suf
fered no 111 beyond the slight woundB,
and gives as the reason for escaping
blood poison that the wounds were
always thoroughly cleansod and cauter
ized, just as any wounds should be.
This man says he Btands ready to be
bitten by any supposed mad dog.
The Richmond Missourian calls tbie
booming of Folk for Governor "A Po
litical Conspiracy," and says, refer
ring to the dally publication of the so
called secrets of the grand jury room,
"either Mr. Folk ia the most constant
law-breaker in Missouri, or certain of
the big dailies are the biggest black
mailers on earth." The Missourian
then queries most pertinently:
Why that telegraph instrument
under the grand jury room?
How can tho walls of Mr. Folk's
office talk?
How does the evidence before the
grand jury get into print or does it?
Is It commendable to seek to Indict
a man for personal reasons?
Will a manly proseoutordrag a high
offioial before a grand jury to accuse
him of Intending to do what has not
yet been committed?
Why are the friends of the cabal
excused from testifying before the
grand jury?
Why are friends of prospective can
didates' Blngled out for service on the
rBck of political inquisition?
Why is it that certain members of
the Legislature who favor Folk for
Governor are not appearing before
the grand jury?
Why is it that a newspaper, which
would have you think it Democratic,
refuses to call Senator W. J. Stone by
his rightful title?
Although he pleadod for Butler In
1900 and supported the whole ticket,
and then bolted the ticket as soon as
he was elected, would he denounce
the "other half" of a State ticket of
which be aspires to be tho head is
he a "majority rulo" man?
Who will try to cail the Richmond
Missourian a "machine" newspaper or
the "organ" of any man?
Why is it that certain dallies that
pretend to print the news unbiased
actually refuse to print any criticism
of tha good man which they are lead-
ing up Into a high mountain?
Why will tbo metropolitan alliance
be disposed to "ignore" a discussion
. of their secret hates?
Is there a political conspiracy t
The purpose of the city papers, with
one or two exceptions, seems to be to
wreck the Democratic party in this
State, and the smooth-tongued bypro
crites go artfully to work to accomplish
their eni. Since the Pertlo Springs
convention sat down on them and
bruised tbair "innards," they have
held an abidicg hate toward the party.
Hitherto their ill-will has been harm
less as a headless arrow against an
iron clad; but now they think their
opportunity baa come In the boodling
exposures. They tbomielves imperv
ious to all principle and questions of
right that do not ring cbango down
upon the business counter, with an
effrontery that would shame the devil,
cry the cry of righteousness acd de
nounce evil and wrong doing! They
advocate Folk for Governor, as if he
were the only honest, capable official
in the State. Ho has no record what
ever except that ot a few months; no
man knows his antecedents, and it is
frequently assorted that he holds bis
office through systematized fraud and
the corruption of the ballot box. If
he be the all-conquering saint these
papers would have us believe, it seems
to me Mb own skirts ought to bo en
tirely clear or, at any rate, that be
cannot consistently ride a stolen horse
in pursuit of thieves and doers of evil.
But, really, the syndicated city press
cares no more for the political welfare
of Folk than does the egg-hunting
urchin for a last-year's bird's nest.
He is to be used only as a club for the
smashing of offondlng pates, and
simple Indeed is the Democrat who
voluntarily puts himself to place for
the blow. There are thousands of
officials In this State who are as honest
and capable as Mr, Folk; who hold
their positions by virtue of a fair vote
and an honest count; and whose life
records are known to all. But, un
fortunately, they are Democrats and
Bryan Democrats, at that and they
won't do for our city brethren's pur
poses. The rank and file must be
taught to bow in submission to the will
of tbo whlte-souled reorganizers who
would rather see a Republican than an
unreconstructed Democrat elected to
the gubernatorial chair next year. In
my poor opinion to nominate Joseph
W. Folk would be to invite defeat
not because he is prosecuting boodlers,
but for the reason that those now ex
ploiting him would render him ob
jectionable t-o those who stiU conjure
by tho name of that old mobocrat,
Tom Jefferson.
