WORLD'S 1 903 FAIR. a FOR MUNICIPAL CLEANLINESS. 3Ir. Albert L. Berry is right in contending that one of the most potent factors for municipal beauty and cleanliness is a general observance of the city ordinances and that every citizen should therefore live up to the laws ivhtch provide for public cleanliness and attractiveness.

"If this advice -were folio-wed, say, In the matter of smoke abatement, -what a delightful change for the better "would be brought about within an Incredibly brief The proprietors of factories and other establishments whose consumption of fuel now envelops St Louis in a pall" of black smoke would hasten to obey the city ordinance covering their case. Smoke consumers that have been proved effective wxrald be in use in every such establishment There wtald bo no dodging of the law as at present Not a wjeek would elapse before the smoke evil would be a thing of the past; -so easy is smoke abatement If all citizens are willing to do their plain duty. This reform alone would make St Louis a clean beautiful city. Let us hope that Mr. Berry's wfrds will sink deep into the hearts of St Loulsans who are responsible for the sluggishness of the smoke-abatement movement They sorely need to see the error of their ways.

They are making a mock of the city ordinances and laughing at the law. PROTECT THE PRINCE FROM ANARCHISTS. Chicago's municipal authorities, are Jnstifled In taking every precaution to prevent an anarchist as-sauttou Prince Henry of Prussia during his stay in that" city, this action being necessary under conditions which call, for extraordinary vigilance. The anarchist colony established In Chicago, headed by the Abraham Isaacs senior and Junior, constitutes probably the most rabid and dangerous school 'of anarchy in this country. Czolgosz, "the assassin of theilate President McKInley, was a graduate of that school.

Th- Haymarket bomb horror of some years ago was the bloody prelude of the murder of anramencan jrresiaem. criminals responsible for these piteous tragedies would like nothing better than to assassinate Henry of, Prussia, the guest of the American people, In their own Chicago field. Already they are hatred of the German Emperor's brother. "Police supervision of Chicago's anarchists should be -sleepless and argns-eyed until Prince Henry shall come and gone. They will stand watching, these gentry of the dynamite bomb, the handkerchief-covered pistol and the creed of murder, and Chicago's good name is at stake in the present Instance on a -tremendous hazard.

In addition, also, that of the entire American peo- and Government is equally at risk. There must pM no opportunity for assassination when Henry .01 Prussia visits Chicago -v 101 PROBLEMS THE SOUTHLAND.

Americans are now studying their great country of diversified Inferests and differing conditions. They; are not fighting. This story Is a valuable part of any course of study.

It is a part which in pure literature nas hitherto been missing. For that reason It will sought In Boston and in Charleston -With equal curiosity. LOOK THE FACTS IN THE FACE. Now that the Senate debate on the Philippine tariff bill has been begun the American people should pay earnest attention to the arguments for and against that measure In order that they may clearly understand and correctly estimate the significance of the Senate's final action. The Issue raised by this bill is the most vital now confronting the American people and Government The passage of the measure will mean the permanent establishment of a policy of sheer colonialism In our dealings with the Philippines.

We shall deny them the rights of an independent people and the rights of American citizens. They will be made subject to us for purposes of taxation. They will be governed by the strong hand and against their consent as the governed. They will not be allowed the representation which should go with taxation. Under our control they will be treated exactly as if they had been conquered by one of the monarchical Powers of Europe.

The Democratic substitute for the Philippine tariff bill would, Instead, conform to the true American spirit and teaching. Temporary free trade would be granted to the Philippines. American control of the Islands would be maintained only until a stable Filipino Government had been established. The American forces would then be -withdrawn, the United States retaining only such military and naval stations as are necessary. There would be no subjugation of the weaker people.

The United States would not then take the place of Spain as the hated alien master of the Philippines. This Government would perform Its appointed task of helping another liberty-lovmg race to establish Itself in national Independence. Tne spectacle would be so sublime as never to be forgotten in the world's history. But the ugly facts must be looked in the face. We shall not be allowed to deal with the Philippines along American lines.

The Republican majority in the National Congress, controlled by syndicate Influences, is determined to dispose of the Philippine problem along the Old World colonialism and imperialism. There is money In it The Philippine tariff bill will be passed for this reason. This will be the teaching of the Senate debate now just begun. i JVH MrP71Bv jmiw-f ji- rysf-wrxt 3 FIGHT OF THE OUTS AND INS. President Roosevelt's recent Missouri appointments and announcements of future appointments justify the belief that he has resolved to harmonize Missouri Republicanism by eliminating Colonel Kerens and placing all power in the hands of.

the Hitchcock-Akins faction, though Kerens nowr claims a recovery of power. A distinct choice between the two factions is unquestionably a wise course for the President td follow. The trouble experienced by the chronic office-seekers In the ranks of Missouri Republicanism has long been that they were never certain of the identity of the Boss in their State. This is a most deplorable plight for yourlconflrmed place-hunter, and more than anything else is it calculated to diminish his party enthusiasm and take the ginger out of his work for the party. A tremendous activity is now certain to follow President Rooseveft's indorsement of the Hitchcock-AJdns leadership.

True, this activity will exclusively consist of a helter-skelter foot-race of ofneeseekers from Kerens to Aklns, but It will be activity all the same. And the Republican party in Missouri will be unified for a time. Tho rank and file of the party may remain harmonious, indeed, being actuated by honest party attachment But watch the ofuceseek-ing contingent The old factional fight of the "outs" against the "Ins" will be renewed in Missouri without fall just as soon as it Is known who are the outs and who the Ins. WE'RE AS FRIENDLY AS GERMANY. Germany's disclaimer of any attempt or desire to bring about European Interference in the Spanish-American war, this denial being made by the German Foreign Office to the Associated Press correspondent In Berlin, must needs be accepted as disposing of that phase of the statement recently emanating from Lord Cranborne, the British Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs.

There Is no going behind an official utterance of this nature. The fact, however, that Lord Cran-borne's assertion to the contrary found a ready belief in this country is due to Germany's course In other Instances during the stormy days of '98. We had no faintest reason at that time to look on Germany as our friend. Quite to the contrary, the most noticeable developments were those tending to convince us that the German official and national spirit was distinctly hostile to the United 'States. The behavior of the German Admiral von Diede-rlchs In Manila Bay marked the culmination of this spirit of German hostility.

An intentional and most Insolent Interference with Admiral Dewey, following Dewey's smashing of the Spanish fleet, constituted the Yon Dlederichs tactics. The German Admiral was apparently bent on embarrassing the American Admiral to the fullest extent possible. Only when Dewey sternly warned him not to get between ing him also that he could have Immediate fighting, and plenty of It, it heso desired, did Von Dlederichs desist Was it strange after this that American Bswlc21cers believed that an early war wlth-Ger- many was a danger to be, considered? But we are not cherishing malice against Germany. If that Government is sorry for such incidents as the Von Dlederichs meddling, and desirous of being friendly with us now, ail right and good. Let bygones be bygones.

We can be as friendly to Germany as Germany Is to us. AN ENCOURAGING YEAR. So great has become the confidence of the -public In the alms and work of the Business Men's -League that any prosperity which the organization enjoys Is a matter for general congratulation. St Louis has learned that the Interests of the League are parallel with those of every individual who wishes to build up the commercial strength of the city. There has been no public movement looking to a betterment of material conditions in which the Business Men's League has not been an active participant Not alone by oral encouragement has support been tendered, but by hard work.

Perhaps the latest instance of this anxiety to "was the, aid rendered by the League In securing, the nunra of the Charter amendments and the I- t. smoice-aoaiemeni eiaiuie. Understanding 'the unselfishness of the League citizens rejoice over the success which has attended the organisation during the post year. At the annual meeting reports' were-read, which told of the work done during "J90L Injno department was there anything but' encouragement There Is a larger 'membership than ever before. The finances are la excel- JCUl firms with an aggregate capital of $19,000,000 opened offices in this city during the past twelve months.

Corporations with a capital stock of $21,000,000 have been organized. Over fifty firms have increased their capitalization about $12,000,000. Here Is a total of $52,000,000 In which the Business Men's League and every citizen In St Louis are interested. The prospects of this commorcial organization are bright The increased responsibilities attached to ir by reason of the greater growth of St Louis will be met with the same Insistence on the rights of the city which has characterized Its past history. The most of whom were re-elected, are prominent in'other fields of labor.

The executive ability which they bring to the performance of their duties will be exercised to the utmost in behlf of the Business Men's League. St. Louis, as heretofore, will continue to consider this organization a principal aid to civic prosperity. A NEEDED REFORMATION. Circuit Attorney Folk's determination to cleanse the criminal courts of St Louis Is meeting with a success not approached by previous administrations of this office.

St Louis scums to have found an official who does not stop his efforts by making promises. The present Grand Jury has given evidence of a hearty co-operation. Indictments have been returned against persons charged with Infringing on the secrecy of the Juryroom. The last Instance is an indictment against the maker of an alleged straw bond. If this latter practice can be stamped out Mr.

Folk will deserve the thanks of the community. The bond forfeitures yield small returns to the city treasury. The business of the professional bondsman has thrived too well. The ends of justice have been obstructed by this pernicious system. There Is no doubt that the Circuit Attorney wlll infuse vigor Into his prosecution of those who are Indicted.

His record in the election-fraud cases is proof of what may be expected from an official who has not shirked his duty. Before many months the criminal courts of this city should be as free from corrupting Influences as are the civil divisions. When the United States Senate shall have passed the bill placing a tariff tax on the Philippines as being neither American nor foreign territory the ship-subsidy bill will come up for favorable action. The enactment of both these measures into law Is commanded by the syndicate-imperialist Interests which control the Republican party. The Republican majority in the National Congress will obey the command.

The only hopeful feature of the situation Is found in the likelihood that the American people will be aroused to the full significance of the record which the Fifty-seventh Congress is to establish. A realization of the truth should mean Democratic victory and a return to American principles. The annual meeting of the Business Men's League again brings proof of the Inestimable value of the services rendered to St Louis by this potent organization. The prime object of the League's existence to further the Interests of St Louis, and the best practical ability Is brought to the performance of this accepted task. The achievements of the Business Meu's League during the World's Fair period promise of exceptional value.

It has served for years as the sentinel on the tower and It has plenty of work to, do for years to come. M. Constant Coquelin, the great French comedian, expresses his astonishment that the manner of' the Emperor William of Germany isniaiked by extreme simplicity. These actor-folk are queer Judges. They find It hard to realize that everybody pose and play to the galleries.

RECENT COMMENT. Gla to See 'Em AIL Detroit Free Freu. A London newspaper makes the assertion that if Prince Henry is well received here, the Kaiser himself will visit the United States In the fall. Here's hoping that heiwiU. We should like to have him come and bring his royal uncle, the King of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British dominions beyond the sea, Kmperor of India, and Defender of tho Faith, and his Imperial friend, the Czar of all the Russias; and his left-hand neighbor, the President of France, with the Emperor of Austria, too, if the old gentleman Is living and can stand the voyage and we shall all agree to take a day oft and give them the time of their lives.

They are all good fellows, of them are not to blame because they have to splash around In royal raiment They were born that way; but nobody over here would think any the worse of them for it, and the latch-string would hang bo far out that any of them could reach It without-getting out of the buckboard. Wlien Discipline Count. SeatU Times. One of the comforting features of the Walla Walla disaster, which occurred off Cape Mendocino on Friday morning of last week, is the fact that the most commendable discipline was maintained throughout the few trying moments In which the passengers and crew had to launch the boats and put off from the sinking wreck. Practically all of the reports of the disaster so far received.

Including stories of passengers who at such a time are likely to find fault if there be room for so doing, agree that the conduct of Captain Hall and all of his officers was most courageous and commendable. There is an occasional note of selfishness, as In the instance of the boatswain who put off from the wreck in a boat only partly loaded and against the orders of his superior officer, but these Instances are so few on this occasion as to more prominently emphasize the courageous conduct of those who were in authority and were responsible for the lives of the passengers. Chicago Needs Kerr Assessments. Chlcaco Chronicle. The assessed valuation of real and personal property for purposes of taxation In the city of New Tork for 1902 is nearly $6,600,000,000 (J6.5H907.471).

The Increase over 1901 is more than Of the total over $3,122,000,000 is the valuation of real estate and nearly $3,473,000,000 is personal property. Comparisons may be odious, but it will be of no use to try to conceal the fact that the total valuation in New Tork Is about twenty times the total valuation in Chicago. The Increase alone in the valuation of New York last year over the year before was not much less than the total valuation of Chicago. In New Tork about $350,000,000 more than one-half of the valuation is that of persona property. In Chicago less than one-eighteenth of the whole is personal property.

This may be all right but If so it do9 not become us Chlcagoans to talk very loud about distancing NewYofk as a city of business and wealth. Science Conquers the Tropica. American Medicine. Medical science lias Just discovered the method of propagation of malaria and of preventing the so that is confidently predicted that the white, races will soon overrun' the tropics and tremendously extend'the world's civilization. Tellow fever carl also be exterminated from these regions, as has been proved in Cuba, and will add to the tendency.

All of this happens at a time when the nations of the-earth seem furiouslydrlven to extend themselves by colonisation and expansion to every part of the habitable globe. Thus by means of what would at first, seem a trivial scientific discovery in medicine, the ancient barbarisms of the tropics will come to on end. Tom Reed Driven to Cigarettes. dncicnatl Enquirer.

In Eeven years tho profits on the Slialcs-pearean play, presented intermittently and with little regard for scenery and costumes, brought them $123,000. Th-n they put it on in fine stylespending $25,000 on the production and roon were making a profit on that investment But they wanted something new and a play of Bronson Howard, then the most notable American dramatist, was offered them. There was some question as to the wisdom of accepting Howard's work, as one of his plays had Just failed, but In the fall of 1S87 the play was produced at the Union Square Theater In New Torlc and was an Immediate and unqualified hit Still "a young man, William Collier has been fortunate enough to reach the head of the procession, while many of those who started with him are still In the rank and file.

After the performance ono evening they entered Into an argument relative to the engagement by Mr. Daly of one of the lafiles who had agreed to sign to appear with Daniels.

It seems that the subject of this engagement had been discussed by them before either of their companies had been organized, and Daniels was very much hurt at what ho termed duplicity In the arrangement." After some heated words upon the matter. In which compliments were thrown from one to another, Daniels 'is said to have made thl3 remark: "I may not have all the virtues In the world, but no one ever accused me of being two-faced." To which "Daly hotly replied: "Do you mean to insinuate that I Daniels made no further comment, and Daly said: "Great heavens, man, do vou think If I had two faces that I wouldn't always leave this one at homer' And any one personally acquainted with the appearance of either of these humorists would bet dollars to pennies that Daly's remark would go for both. a The second concert of the Apollo Club's season will take place January 23 at the Odeon.
