Voters, hopping mad, can hardly wait for the Nov. 3 election to turn the rascals out. But well aware is the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, one of the able press guardians of Missouri morals, that Judgment Day does not fall on Nov. 3. Last week, with a two-page editorial spread, it began a campaign to memorialize two other dates: June 5, last day for candidates to file; Aug. 4, the primary...

Roxie had her brief burst of glory in a time when bigness was the sole criterion of success, when the papers were full of nothing but big murders, big investments, big swindles, big fortunes, big failures, and big trials.
