Whenever that bunch of buccaneers opposes any enterprise, you may bet your bottom dollar that the enterprise is sound and Nothing could be of greater assist anco to Mr. Roosevelt than to have these ghouls sniping at him. It serves to keep alive the division which exists in this country, with Mr.

Roosevelt battling for the mans of people crooked and filthy wealth battling further despoil them -The Democrat, The tarpayers of Missouri are debted to the Park administration for vast reductions in govern expense through the Pablo a Service Commission, it is shown by from the Commission which that salaries and traveling 'expenses have been lowered approximately $227,000 for the biennial period. C. Collet became Chairman of the Commission on last April 27," the report states, "and on May 1, 42 cmployes were dropped from the payroll. The salary reductions covering the 42 employes totaled $122,387 their traveling expenses $56,645. The major portion of these employes were dropped from the engineering On November 1 there was a further reduction in personnel of the Com- mission.

At that time 16 engineers and four accountants were dropped from the payroll, because of the reduced appropriation. The salary list' for the employes dropped November 1 totals $43,960 and their traveling expenses $23,940, for the remainder of the biennial period." Republicans are building up hopes on the result of the City election in New York City, where LaGuardia was elected Mayor. LaGuardia may be classed as a Republican, but those closer to him say he is nearer a So-' cialist. "But no old party tickets were in the New York City election, for LaGuardia headed a Fusion ticket, McKee an Independent ticket and O'Brien a Tammany ticket. Postmaster General Farley supported the McKee ticket, President Roosevelt took no part at all and as Tammany has not been a supporter of the Roosevelt administration, the New York City election cannot be aseribed as any rebuke to the administration.

Political elections in Virginia and Pennsylvania were Democratic victories, where the Republican Vares sustained a glorious defeat in Philadelphia; in Buffalo, N. the city went Democratic and elected a Democratic Mayor the first time in 14 years, and Louisville, elected a Democrat Mayor and all city officials the first time in 16 years. But these local elections are governed by local conditions, and have very little bearing on political trends. fit nincompoops imagine they are riddling the Roosevelt, administration, and while the Republican United, States Senator, Patterson (the, man who has been conspicuous by his record 1 of doing nothing, and advancing 1. absolutely nothing detive in the I gislative halls), thinks he is setting re to in attacks the administration, while in 1 ality, is only spouting 1 wind and smoke; while these things are happening, look, at what a West Plains Republiona has to say in the St.

Louis Post-Dis- While some of these little patch: Mr. Roosevelt's Gold Policy. To Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I am a Republican, I did not vote for Roosevelt and I do not believe his gold-buying program is going to solve our money problem. But I think he has a hard enough job. is working it honestly and, therefore, should be relieved of all such childish eriticiam as.

Mr. Briahane offers in the first paragraph of him column recently in the Pont-Dinnatch, wherein he nave: "What a harenin the United States onald have had it, instead of going the cold basis and then baying with punctured dollars, it tracted for all the gold it wanted, for regular dollars, and had then gone off the gold basis with the gold bars stored away in Washington. That is what 'best minds' might have done, but it would hardly be worthy of United States President." If Mr. Brisbane's formula had been followed and we had bought gold before suspending (we have not abolished) the old standard, we would have been only trading one gold dollar for another, as our dollar then called for a dollar in gold. Thee is what being on the gold standard means.

And. again, bidding up the pries of thing, even gold, does not mean that we are going to we bid Any one who ad an that bide not ill buys. is A -of gold seem forhave in for: the Halted States. in response the bidding done so far. I have suspicion that the muchtalked-of "secrecy" to be maintained about our gold buying is for the purpose of.

hiding, if possible, the small amount of gold we are getting rather than the large amount. It would seem that Mr. Brisbane has his eye on the wrong end of the procession of events and has misconceived the whole gold-buying plan, or, it might be better to say, gold plan. The President's plan undoubtedly is not to bay large quantities of gold at a high price. He could not bid the price high enough to get very much of it so long as gold is regarded as good for basic moner by any number of other nations, as these nations will be in the market constantly at the higher and higher prices.

We should not lose sight of the tact that, if the President is doing anything really to gold, he is doing it to our own stock of gold as well world gold. As we hold from twofifths to one-half of all the monetary gold in the world, we cannot be hurting ourselves very much in advancing the world price of a commodity of which we hold such a preponderating quantity. The purpose of the President is not to buy gold at a high price with punctured" dollars, but to inflate the prices of our products. We will not have to charter any ships to carry the gold here whien the President buys under his program of bidding up the price of gold, but we may have to use more ships to carry our products to other countries at inflated prices. Even if he fails, the President should not be subjected to such erroneons criticism as offered by Mr.

Brisbane. J. D. CLARKSON. West Plains, Mo.
