The conclusions of the committee with the prize plan will, therefore, be published in the Sunday Post-Dispatch, and we feel justified in saying that both will be worthy of careful reading and consideration by the people of St.

The Post-Dispatch feels that it has accomplished an achievement almost as important as the abolition of the bridge arbitrary in getting a meeting ot the Terminal Commission for today. We indulge the hope that when Mayor Wells unwraps and displays the proposition which he reserved for the Consideration of the Commission it will prove to be something good for St. Louis something upon which to base effective action for the removal of terminal obstacles and the improvement of business facilities.

Under the ordinance creating it, the commission has a wide scope of action. It is charged with two duties 1. Investigating thoroughly the present bridge and terminal conditions, for which an appropriation of $25,000 is available. 2. Formulating and reporting remedies for defects and suggestions for improvements.

The commission, in pursuance of its task, may employ experts and otherwise expend the appropriation to best advantage. Its suggestions- will have practically the effect of official recommendations of action by the Municipal Assembly. A great opportunity to do a valuable public service lies in the hands of the Mayor and this commission of business men. It should be utilized to the full. hMELO l5oA (sahO (TWNOM.TMEHtA-T HTTTTTT LU Jk 'TJ GETTtKC CL FORTHE J.

To thrf Editor of the Tost-Dispatch. THE RIGHT KIND OF PUBLICITY. "All Europe knows St. Louis," is the testimony of Mr. Baer, who has returned from a trip through the Old "World.

Yes, as the home of the greatest Exposition in history and as the home of wealth, hospitality and liberality. All of this knowledge went to the oi ld through the Exposition, through the publicity arising from the Exposition. It was valuable advertising: It proved the value of judicious advertising, i But we want a new and greater reputation. We want St. Louis known as a great business cit'y, as the commercial metropolis of and key to the empire of the Southwest.

We want the city knovn as having the finest ibaiket. and best facilities to reach it. We want it knewn for the free and rapid development of manufacture and commerce. Out of publicity of this kind will grow the city prosperous, populous and beautiful. The Mikado can now sympathize with the Czar.

14. The World today says: "Mme. Linda Ross Wade, 'demonstrating' corsets at a dressmakers' convention, predicts that within a few years men will be wearing corsets as generally as women now do. "There was a time when corsets were worn by men, but with the advent of the modern coat, waistcoat and trousers the corset as a part of male attire disappeared. Thackeray in "Vanity Fair' tells how Joseph Sedley loosened his stays.

Sienkiwicz puts corsets on Prince Radzivill, one of the warriors in his Polish trilogy. William Pinckney, the eminent statesman of a hundred years ago, wore corsets in an effort to restrain a tendency to corpulency. "Three years ago a large corset concern bfgan the manufacture of corsets for men, but the results were so un dren. In nine cases out of ten there will be trouble for her If she does. Anyhow, it is not just that "a woman should have the burden of training other people's offspring.

Let there be no more stepmotuers. JERUSHA, "There has been no more significant event in New Jersey politics during the past score of years than the defeat of the Essex County Republican machine by Everett Colby at the primaries on Tuesday," is the Sun's comment on this historic happening. "Mr. Colby is a candidate for the State Senate on a very definite and consistently detailed platform. He alms at the -enactment of a law which shall prevent municipalities from granting any more franchises in perpetuity to public service corporations.

"He won because the people like a fighter of his type, because they believe him honest, because they recognize the soundness of the issue he represents, and last, but perhaps not least because they are beginning to understand and execrate the type of county politics at. which they have now dealt a smashing blow." HE MUST BE SHOWN. M. Witte says that in New England he saw no trace of agricultural America, and nowhere did he see "the real American," who, he thinks, "has uot yet been produced." That he saw no trace of agricultural America in Xew England is not wonderful, because there is nothing agricultural there except in the past tense in the shape of abandoned farms. But that he saw not one real American cannot be admitted.

Did he not see Mr. Roosevelt? It may be, however, that one was not enough to satisfy a man of M. Witte's cautious habit of mind. He probably considers Mr. Roosevelt unique.

In this he is in grievous error. And had he come West he would have learned the truth. Mr. Roosevelt got his Americanism in the West. In the West is the type and Mr.

Roosevelt is a very clear cut, definite impression of the type. He bears the mint mark of real Americanism, but so do a multitude of men, and women too, who were born and reared west of the Alleghenies. Had M. Witte come out to Chicago and St. Louis and Griggsville and Butte he would have perceived that Mr.

Roosevelt was not unique, but merely a representative American. The smell of the earth, the odor of the free prairie, the fragrance of the forest exude from the dwellers in the West who are Americans from skin to core and from core back to skin again. Next time Witte visits America let hiui come to St. Louis. We will make him an honorary citizen of Missouri and so qualify him to be shown the real Americans and real Americanism which he missed at Portsmouth and mistook for something else at Oyster Bay.

In all his life he'd never been in a department store; Tet he had heard some wondrous of how men had been lost In labyrinthlan mazes, where no foot their trails had crossed; And though he dreaded to attempt a feat so rash as this, He nerved himself up to the task, anl hoped he would not miss.

The story that she dared Congressman Lon-worth to jump into a tank of water on board the steamer Manchuria, and that she jumped in herself, fully dressed, when he would not, is entirely Rooseveltian in its characteristics; and it is so good and so refreshing that it ought to be true whether it is or not.

"Princess" Alice, the ever-interesting, did better than the high-born lady in the old poem, "Kiug Francis was a royal king, and loved a royal sport," who threw her glove among the lions and coldly bade her lover bring it to her, as a proof of his affection. The knight brought the glove, all right, but he laid it at the lady's feet and bade her good-by. Not so with this charming American girl. She made the dare, and then, her knight refusing to accept the challenge, she accepted it herself, just to show her spirit -r and instead of turning away, we, her American admirers, only beam upon her tLe more, every man of us longing for the chance which the ungallant Longworth threw away. cah themselves "Haik" and, according to their language they are entitled to rank as a very old branch of the Aryan stock, in some respects intermediate between the Aryans of Europe and the Aryan peoples of Greater Asia.

To the Btlitor ot the Post-Dispatch. One reason for the falling off in at tendance at church is that some churches have become advertising emporiums for the milliner, the hatter, the dealer in hish-art shoes, the tailor, the haberdasher and the dressmaker, until those who cannot follow the highest behesLs of Uame Fashion are no ionger welcome to their sacred rented pews.

Addicks of Delaware, who tried to get into the Senate is engmged in the exposure of the "characters of the men who helped him in that enterprise. According to his story they were a sorry lot. They were bad as he could make them by all sorts of seductive- temptations-, and to which they yielded so unreservedly that almost succeeded in gettting the toga. Mr. AddUk cannot be too highly commended for thin patriotic work.

The country has long suspected that -the State of Delaware sank to a tery low condition under his ministrations. But the details were wanting. We did not know the process by which Delaware virtue was lost. Mr. Addicks is telling the story and it ii a most instructive lesson.

The question may arise: Should not Mr. Addicks be rewarded for this great public service by a-seat in the United States Senate. If it were not for his veracious chronicle we nhould not know how bad Delaware politicians vere. Now that we know we can condemn them intelligently. This, view is that adopted by an exalted personage who praised a high officer of government because he had confessed to violation of law while traffic; manager of a railroad.

The word is practically the same in Persian and Chinese and probably means a nomad or an archer. The letter has crept "into the spelling doubtless through an ignorant confusion of "Tatar" with "Tartarus," which means hell, because the Tatars were supposed to be such ferocious people. According to the encyclopedia "the term Tatar is loosely applied to certain Tungusic tribes originally inhabiting" Manchuria and Mongolia." The Manchus, the reigning race in China, are Tartars. In the course of the westward movement of the Mongols the term Turtar obtained vogue among the civilized peoples of Western Asia and Eastern Europe and came to be applied with little discrimination to the hordes of Mongols who descended from time to time upon the frontiers of Occidental civilization and to the civilized peoples subdued by them.

Ultimately it came to be used almost if not quite as a synonym for Turkish. The Tartars of European Russia are of diverse origins. Most of the peoples styled Tartars are of Turkish stock, but very mixed physically.
