Albert L. Berry is right in contending that one of the most potent factors for municipal beauty and is a general observance of the city ordicleanliness nances and that every citizen should therefore live up the laws which provide for public cleanliness and to attractiveness. If this advice were followed, say, in the matter of smoke abatement, what a delightful change for the better would 1 be brought about within an incredibly brief time. 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 would be in use in every such establishment. There would be no dodging of the law as at present. Not a week 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. Louts clean beautiful city.

Let us hope that Mr. Berry's words will sink deep into the hearts of St. Louisans who are responsible for the sluggishness of the smokeabatement 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 justified In taking every precaution to prevent an anarchist 86- sault on 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 the late President McKinley, was a graduate of that school. The Haymarket bomb horror of some years ago was the bloody prelude of the murder of an American President.

The 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 mouthIns their hatred of the German Emperor's brother. Police supervision of Chicago's anarchists should be sleepless and argus eyed until Prince Henry shall have come and gone. They will stand watching, these gentry of the dynamite bomb, the handkerchiefcovered 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 peopie and Government is equally at risk.

There must be no opportunity for assassination when Henry of Prussia visits Chicago. PROBLEMS OF. THE SOUTHLAND. Beginning next Sunday The Republic will publish a serial a powerful story by the distinguished lecturer, Thomas Dixon, Jr. This new American novel deals with period of unequaled richness in dramatic material- the reconstraction days of the South.

Mr. Dixon also brings his story up to the present and introduces all phases of the negro problet. This story has historical value similar to that ofe The -Crisis." Mr. Churchill's antecedents, temperament and sympathies belong to New England, though his years of residence in St. Louis have given Sim Insight into the fine qualities of the extreme Bouthern type, ad well as the great number of gradations between the extremes of Northern and Southern habit and feeling.

Similarly, Mr. Dixon's mold is essentially Carolinian, but he has lived in the North and has established there warm friendships which liberalize his judgments of men. As a graphic picture of the South just after the Civil War, and since that time, painted by a gifted man whose heart is with the Southern people, "The Leopard's Spots" will be read with deep interest by Intelligent people in both North and South. Crisis" told to the present generation great deal which had never been put forth in popalar literature. So does Mr.

Dixon's story- from another point of observation. Naturally there will be differences of opinion to the precise accuracy of some of Mr. Dixon's lifepictures. The story is presented as a story. Opinlone may adjust themselves after discussion.

The particular value of Mr. Dixon's work is that it develope what Southern people endured, what they and what they believed; while between the same covers is contained in artistic continuity the South's present day struggle with peculiar social and economic problems. With due regard for the literary work of Southern writers It may be doubted whether a real description of the South's bitter contest with these troubles and problems has ever appeared in the favorite modern form of the novel. Excellent detached pictures have been painted; but not survey which Southern men their It believed that Mr. novel will give an Interpretation which will adopted by the South the bae by which It willing to be fudged.

patriotism it is not necessary to suggest that prejudice of sections will have no more place in reading the story than it has had in Mr. Dixon's writing. Americans are pow studying their great country of diversified Interests 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 be 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 1 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-loving race to establish itself in national independence. The 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 lines of colonialism and imperialism. There is money in it. The Philippine tariff bill be passed for this reason. This will be the teaching of the Senate debate now just begun.

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 1 harmonize Missouri Republicanism by eliminating Colonel Kerens and placing all power in the hands the Hitchcock-Akins faction, though Kerens now claims a recovery of power. A distinct choice between the two factions is unquestionably a wise course for the President to follow. The trouble experienced by the chronic onceseekers 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 your confirmed 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 Roosevelt's indorsement of the HitchcockAkins leadership. True, this activity will exclusively consist of a helter-skelter foot-race of officeseekers from Kerens to Akins, but it will be activity all the same. And the Republican party in Missouri will be unified for a time. The rank and file of the party may remain harmonious, indeed, being actuated by honest party attachment. But watch the officeseeking contingent.

The old factional fight of the "outs" against the "Ins" will be renewed in Missouri without fail just as soon as it is known who are the outs and who the ins. WE'RE AS FRIENDLY AS GERMANY. Germany's disclaimer attempt or to bring about European interference in the SpanishAmerican war, this dental being made by the German Foreign Office to the Associated Press correspondent in Perlin, 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 Cranborne'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 bad 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 Diederichs in Manila Bay marked the culmination of this spirit of German hostility. An intentional and most Insolent Interference with Admiral Dewey, follow1ng Dewey's smashing of the Spanish fleet, constituted the Von Diederichs 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, if he so desired, did Von Diederichs desist. Was it strange after this that American newel officers believed that an early war with Germany 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 Diederichs meddling, and desirous of being friendly with us now, all 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 aims and work of the Bustness Men's that any prosperity which the organization enjoys is matter for general congratulation. St. Louts 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 betterment of material conditions in which the Bustness 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 improve was the aid rendered by the League in securing the passage of the Charter amendments and the smoke abatement statute. Understanding the unselfishness of the League, citizens rejoice over the success which has attended the organization during the past year. At the annual meeting reports were read which told of the work done during 1901. In no department was there anything but encouragement.

There is larger memberahip than ever before. The finances are in excellent shape. Partly, through the of the League 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 commercial organization are bright. The increased responsibilities attached to it 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 officers, 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 behalf 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 seeins 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 indietment 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 Circult Attorney will 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 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 Fiftyseventh Congress is to establish. A realization of the truth should mean Democratic victory and a return to American principles.

The annual meeting of 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 is 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 Mel's League during the World's Fair period promise to.

be 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 is marked by extreme simplicity. These actor-folk are queer judges.

They find It hard to realize that everybody coesn't pose and play to the galleries. RECENT COMMENT. Glad to See 'Em AlL. Detroit Free Press. 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 he will. 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, Emperor of India, and Defender of the 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 off and give them the time of their lives. They are all good fellows, and four 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 latchstring would hang BO far out that any of them could reach It without getting out of the buckboard. When Discipline Counts.

Seattle Times. One of the comforting features of the Walla Walle 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 New Assessments. Chicago Chronicle.

The assessed valuation of real and personal property for purposes of taxation in the city of New York for 1902 1s nearly $6,600,000,000 The increase over 1901 1s more than $237,000,000. Of the total over $3,122,000,000 is the valuation of. real estate and nearly $3,473,000,000 is perconal property. Comparisons may be odious, but it will be of no use to try to conceal the fact that the total valuation in New York 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 York about $350,000,000 more than one-half of the valuation is that of personal property. In Chicago less than one-eighteenth of the whole is personal property. This may be all right, but if so it does not become us Chicagoans to talk very loud about distancing New York as a city of business and wealth. Science Conquers the Tropics. American Medicine.

Medical science has just discovered the method of propagation of malaria and of preventing the same, so that it is confidently predicted that the white. races will soon overrun the tropics and tremendously extend the world's civilization. Yellow fever can 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 furiously driven to extend themselves by colonization 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 an end.

Tom Reed Driven to Cigarettes. Cincinnati Enquirer. It is reported that ex-Speaker Reed was caught smoking a cigarette in Washington lately. There is nothing now-a-days that anybody reasonably well "up" in the ways of the world ought to be astonished at. Mr.

Reed had probably heard of the Prealdent of the United States executing cake walk in the East Room of the Executive Mansion, and taking 8 walk on Connecticut avenue in Rough- Rider suit. Principles, Not Men. Cansville Democrat. We have space to sell candidates if they want to be THEATRICAL PARAGRAPHS WITH A PERSONAL FLAVOR. Helen Lord must feel pretty sure of following by this time.

If she had any doubts of it her return in "Miss Simplicity" certainly has dispelled them all. She will star next season. The vehicle is being provided for her by E. W. Corliss and James Brewster, newspaper men of Providence, R.

I. When you see Miss Lord in her present role you are positive. you have discovered perpetual motion. And her smile is as near to human sunshine as any one's smile can be. Word comes from Washington that Sol Smith Russell will never again be able to appear upon the stage.

a He has been stricken with locomotor ataxia. Like the drowning man clutching at the proverbial straw, he has embraced Christian Science. Though he was never able to obtain a firm theatrical footing in New York, 'his admirers throughout the country are numbered by the hundred thousands. Even hamlets which boast only of 8 town hail have learned to love Mr. Russell.

Perhaps his greatest stronghold of genuine popularity was Chicago. Which shows that, whatever the size of the communities he played to, Old Sol, ag 'Gene Field called him, could always shine upon a full house. One by one the veterans are passing. Next to Joseph Jefferson, there is no nobler member of the Old Guard than Sol. Smith Russell.

Frank Daniels was having a four-ply polish put on his shoes the other day when I chanced to see him. He was perched high and smoking a fragrant cigar, and was evidently obvious of the glances of those about him. He is winning fresh laurels, and lots of 'em, in "Miss Simplicity," now at the Olympic. Clarice Vance, who sings genuine negro mel: dies, is at the Columbia. Miss Vance always lets her work speak for her.

Ragtime vocalists are as water unto wine in comparison with her. In fact, she makes forget the latter day coon ditty by singing in the darky dinlect of the South. When Stuart Robson and Will'am H. Crane, who by a curious coincidence appear at different theaters in Boston next week, were in partnership they achleved their most notable succe ses Comedy of Errors' and "The Henrietta." In seven years the profits on the Shakespearean play, presented intermittently and with little regard for scenery and costumes, brought them $123,000. Then they put it on in fine style, spending $25,000 on the producand soon were making a profit on that tion 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, of his plays had just failed, but in as one the fall of 1887 the play was produced at the Union Square Theater in New York 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 Ale. Nature has been kind. He is a goodlooking chap, and has mobility of feature which is magnetic to a degree.

As Robert Ridgeway, A Yale student, in Augustus Thomas's "On the Quiet," he has left trail of funny memories from New York to San Francisco. A few weeks ago Dan Daly was appearing In "The New Yorkers" and Frank Daniels In "Miss Simplicity" at opposition theaters in Philadelphia. After the performance one evening they entered into an argument relative to the engagement by Mr. Daly of one of the ladies who had agreed to sign to appear with Daniels. It seems that the subject of this engagement had been discussed by them before elther of their companies had been organized, and Daniels was much burt at what he termed "duvery plicity 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 this 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 instnuate that I am?" Daniels made no further comment, and Daly said: "Great heavens, man, do you think 11 I had two faces that I wouldn't always leave this one at home?" 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.

The second concert of the Apollo Ciub's season will take place January 28 at the Odeon. Soloists for this concert will be Mrs. Webb-Gardner, soprano, of Boston, and Harold Bauer, pianist, of Germany.

The first scene in "The Rogers Brothers in Washington" is a pictorial representation of the reception-room in the Democratic Club Fifth avenue, in New York, which, for the past four years, has been the center of political activity in the metropolis. The walls are adorned by duplications of the famous paintings that hang in this room, including a life-size three-quarter length portrait of the famous polltician, Richard Croker. Friday and Saturday evenings, Mr.

Burton Holmes, whose Illustrated lectures and travel talks have grown so steadily in popularity in this city, will close his series for this. season at the Odeon, his subjects being "Pekin" and "Korea." The lectures begin promptly at 8 o'clock. Mr. Holmes will appear in Korean costume on Saturday night. "The Strollers." like the grain market this year, have broken all kinds of records and precedents.

Beginning In New York in the dead of summer. the merry musical comedy defiled all predictions and made its first record by keeping a house open which had never before opened its doors in summer season. Since leaving there "The Strollers" have prospered In Baltimore, Washington, Newark, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. They come to the Olymple next week. The Royal Italian Band, under the management of Channing Ellery and the direction of Signor Creatore, is to play a limited concert engagement at the Odeon, beginn1ng January 30.

He is said to be stronger in voice and in his dramatio action than he has been for a number of years. In addition to "Shaun Rhue" he will present its companion plav.
