ought to be cherished as invaluable
counsel. "You meet in rivalry," ne
said. "Let me suggest that when you
come to affairs that involve your state
you make your contest to see, not what
party interest you can best serve, but
what you can do that will ho best for
Missouri. I believe that the party that
has the highest and best ideals will in
tho end bo the one in which the people
of the state will place their dependence
hereafter." This would seem to be
particularly true of Missouri at this
time. After many years of one-party
rule the tide has turned on reform
principles, and under the influence of
President Roosevelt on the one hand
and Governor Folk on the other, a
bipartisan administration has been
ushered in. The people have, there
fore, an especially fine opportunity to
judge for themselves not by remote
comparisons, but by running events
of tho honesty, capacity ana pro
gresslveness of the two parties as rep
resented at the state capital. Kan
sas City Star.
The ElactloiTof Senator
Missouri would set a mlghtly good
example to other states if this logis.
lature should follow tho recommenda
tion of Governor Folk and adopt a res
olution indorsing the popular election
of United States senators. Thero
would be peculiar force in the reso
lution at thig time, since it would ex
press the sentiment of both tho great
political parties. The senate is dem
ocrat and the house Js republican, if
they should unite in tho suggested
action their resolution would be free
from partisan color, and would bo
doubly effective. The demand for a
change in the constitution is, in fact,
not confined to any one party, but has
its foundation in popular recognition
of popular well being. Kansas City

An Interesting Contest
Mr. Brvan frankly admits that he en
.iovs tho freedom of release from nom
inal party leadership; In other words
that ho was subject to restraint while
bound by :wty platforms in making
presidential canvasses. In his address
to members of the Missouri legislature
yesterday Mr. Bryan said some gool
and generous things, and his advice
ao to the aims and methods'that should
characterize the legislators before him
