St. Louis is, bar none, the most interesting place on the universal map. There will be no other city to approach it either in quality or quantity of attrac tions for at lca4. ten years. Probably there trill be no great universal exposition for a longer time. In deed, a feeling exists which seems to spring from general recognition of the Exposition's marvelous comprehensiveness 'and completeness that this will be the last of the world's fairs. Every participant in the life of this time, every man who would consider himself a factor, however small, In modern existence, every man who desires to feel that he Is intelligently alive, will visit this consummate display of the world's enlightenment and progressiveness. No 6uch man can afford to forego a visit to the Fair. Nor can the mere pleasure-seeker. The Intellec tual and educational phase of the Fair Is great; But there are other things. The Pike la a show where the barkers tell, mostly, the truth. That Is saying a good deal, 'since the barkers as a rule are well stocked with words and know how to use them. There is an Immense amount of the entertaining and diverting crowded into that fourteen hundred acres of Fair. It is the place to "sight-ece," the place for the curious, the place for the leisurely, the place for the people who have nothing else to do, the place for "those who have vacations, the place for those who hunt at this time of year for fun, excitement, change of scene, rest from tares In short, it Is the place for everybody. . MISREPRESENTED. Light is reflected on the Philippine situation by Senor Nepomuceno, a member of the special com mission, comprising about fifty representative citi zens, who are now in St. Louis. What the visitor implies perhaps Is more forcible than wjiat he says, inasmuch as It denotes that there does not prevail in the islands that state of content which the admin . istration has exploited so energetically. The Philippine problem remains not only unset tled, but Is more perplexing than ever, and ultimate ly will become more irritating to both the Govern ment and people of the United States. So far we have succeeded in suppressing the problem; but the quiescence may be temporary only, for the solution has not been discovered as yet, and there are two .parties -which must be satisfied. Senor Nepomuceno declares that the million-dollar Philippine exhibition at the St. Louis Universal Ex position a libel on the majority of the population of the Islands. He says that of the 8,000,000 in habitants about 7,000,000 are educated and orderly, whereas only the remaining 1,000,000 comprise the Moros, Negritos, Igo'rrotes and uncivilized tribes. Because the latter division of the population Is made prominent in the Philippine exhibition, he con demns the exhibition as a libel and as a trick of the empire-building administration. From his viewpoint ft may appear to be a libel, but in the average Amer ican it does not take the form of approbation of a policy of transoceanic territorial expansion. In a scientific direction, the Phillipplue exhibition Is ex ceptionally Interesting: I is a valuable adjunct to the anthropological section of the Exposition. Yet the exhibition Indicates to serious-minded Americans the prospective dangers of inviting many problems that arc more grave than the negro problem at home. Senor Nepomuceno is not entirely right in assuming that the Philippine exhibition is an Illustrative in dorsement of Republican policies. But the people of the United States no doubt t ill admire the visitor's courage and frankness In as serting that of the 8,000,000 Inhabitants In his coun try 7,000,000 are educated, law-abiding and progress ive . Tliis is Information w hich they will be glad to get from an authentic source. that the Filipinos arc teady for self-government, that there is dissatisfaction oer the debt Increase, that the piojiosed economic system is iinsatisf.ietiir.v, that some of the attempted innovations arc uncongenial and ome impracticable, and that the tariff, arrange ments are considered to be injurious to the country. His candid statements .show that there is at least a large percentage of the population which is not pleased, with ilrvelopments and vvliidi has little or no conlidence m future plant?. The Philippine prob lem is not jet .settled: it has not been opened: ami if the Republican p.irly is trusted in lis aulocr.ilic "iiili ties, the 1 lilted States maj be the Ullii). 4 .It'DCi: I'AUKKlt AND -MlSSOlltl. Alton It. IMrker will have the uniiu.ilitiid Mipputt of Mlssouil Democrat. To a man they will i.llly to the p.utj's caniliiluto. The pulse of Democi.iiy is not running not. but is beating teadllj. !.. iltj i strong and .steadfast -impose is manifest. Common has bci'ii made by Ucpillilican oig.itisYth.it Mis souri has not exhibited a pronounced entliusi.isiii for the nomination. That is tine, but It is not signiti caui iu the least. The lampaigii lias nut jet begun. The nominations hae M.ircelj- been made. Demo crats of the rank and file liae had no fonnal op portunity to demonstrate the extent and quality of their lojallj-. .ludge Paiker has mer been a na tional leader of the l.nii. to spie.id a demotion to his personal qualities. Missouri is jiui getting acquaint ed with him; today Missouri mists him. When the campaign shall hae opened lit earnest in Missomi Democrats will furnish abundant enthusiasm. The Republican comment m.ij be fitly answered by Inquiring: Wheie is there in all these Fnlted States the Inintest .show of enthusiasm for Mr. Roosevelt? Nowheie. indeed. Uj the taciturn man ner of the g. o p.'.s hosts they might fairly be Judged disaffected and resentful. Uooeelt enthu siasm faded out many months before his nomina tion, and. curiously, ju-t about the time when it lie came unavoidable. Concerning enthusiasm in Mis souri, there eertninlj appeals none of it for Mr. Roosevelt. And it i extremely improbable th.it suf ficient will be de eloped within the next llircc months to prevent numerous Republicans from not ing not only the Folk ticket, but the Parker ticket. There Is apparently a considerable Republican ele ment In this State which regards Mr. Roosevelt as unsafe and prefers .fudge Parker for business rea sons, while another considerable element is affront ed at Mr. Roohevelt's stand on the negro question. Missouri Republicans are far enough Soulh to ap preciate the full damage accomplished by his un necessary disturbance of the race question. They cannot be classed with the Republicans of the North and East in fomenting negro braxado. You can no more change the real nature and sent! ments of the true Jlissrutirlan. independently of his partisan leanings, than you can alter the State's po sition on the map. In Missouri pel force the raci question, though not proelselj- a "local issue," is far less of an abstraction than in States f.uther North. Missouri Democracy will make a clean stand. An upright, common-sense and capable candidate will bring out full and enthusiastic suppoit. It is sulti cient for Democracy that Judge Parker Is an honest, level headed Democrat, able to conduct the business of the nation as it should be conducted, to curtail extravagance and put an end to corruption, and to keep the country out of foreign embroilments. Would the Democrats of Missouri rrefer Mr. Roosevelt to Judge Parker? That ultimate presentation of t.hc Issue. Is one absolute guarantee of Democratic loyalty and strength in this SJnte. Kut the issue will uot have to go to this ultimate analysis in order to con vince the main body of Missouri's voters. Roosevelt ism may be n large and Impressive issue, but Mis souri Democracy will not have to be driven to sup port its own ticket. Democracy Is stanch. Already the pulse has been felt to some extent In the State. The interviews with Democrats from many sections of the State, published in Tuesday's Itepubllc, prove the solldaritj and purpose of the rank and file. The statements of such men as Congressman Champ Clark, Congress man Dougherty, Judge Evans, J. M. Atkinson of Ripley Cunty, Frank Russell of Ladedu County and N. B. Martin of Vernon County demonstrate the feeling of Democrats generally. While there are some expressions to the effect that Judge Parker went further than necessary In stating his financial views, that sentiment Invariablj- gives way to ad miration of the man, h'ls honesty and courage; and even in these quarters there Is no serious fault found with his stand upon a question which Mr. Bryan himself declared did not rank among the live and vital issues of to-day. Enthusiasm will come. There need be no fear on that score. The character of the candidate is such as to compel enthusiasm from every Deniocrati source. Especially Is he a man to find thCNjj mpathy and support of Missourlaus. Simple, sincere, stioug, a man of the people, but of statesmanlike piopor tions, democratic in the highest sense, with the mag netism of n great leader, be is the fulfillment of the Missouri ideals and traditions of presidential char acter. Missouri may be confidently counted as among the first of his strong, ar ent, pt-.aiii.il fol lowing. ing a temporary reeeler, to name tweutjMhe prominent citizens as trustees. It was a new idea and it commended itself to the State Superintendent of Ranks, Charles M. Preston. Judge Parker pleaded with the leading men at Kingston, merchants, bankers and other-, and seemed twenty-live In whom the community had confident e to take the burden on their shoul ders. The Supreme Court made a decree that put tho plan In operation and the depositors weie en joined fi tun drawing out more than 'Si per cent of their deposits. Then some blight genius llimmlit he saw tin oppoitunitj to play Judith's against .luilei Paiker. ami a newspaper of the town nth Ned the diposjtois to tiraw out their 'St pel tent at once, assuring them that thev would nevor get any more. Tlieie was a fi.intie crowd at the doois next morn ing. A inn was on and it meant min. Judge Paiker. however, had -intii ipated the liialloiis eiioits. of the misehief-niakeis, .mil hid obtained a big bag of money from New York. Leap lug on the treasmer's desk, he i ailed out: "Come on! We aie ready to p.ij ! Do jou think we would waste our time on a biokeu bank':'' The aigumeiit was Instantly effetlive: the nanlc over. Onlv 11 per tent of the deuositors demanded their money. The Coutt of Appeals sustained the plin and the Measurer and assistant tieasurer were sent to prison. Then everjbody dcMied Judge Paiker fol pifsident of the bank. He accepted the position on the tondition that no salary should be paid him, anil he remained at the head of the nstittition until it arrived at a sound condition with deposits secral hundred thousand greater than ecr before in its histor.v. When the people of Ulster Countj- recall that tpisode. It is said, they laugh at the idea 1h.it Judge Parker is anj thing Ie."6 than a great man of action. It is but a 'single small incident in the full lecoul. but it tleinonstrats bejoud all slndow of doubt the courage, independence, wisdom and pow er of execution of the man. . Just as the dog of which the disciple Peter spoke is turned to his own vomit again, so does the Ana nias organ conic back to its "eleven million discrep ancy'." Yesterday it jelped with joy over the books In Missouri 'which are discrepant by more thnn $11,000,000." Ananias does not present a pretty or a specially iutciesting spectacle. .. "With Folk and a clean State ticket Parker will cany Missouri by an unprecedented majority," says Judge Evans. The nomination of a clean, straight State ticket will be the death knell of local Republi can hopes and will atld materially to the gathering blues of Mr. Roosevelt. 4- Hoodie will not cease to be an ugly and disturbing topic in this State until nil sympathy with boodlcrs is politically dead. The Jefferson City convention must not tolerate on its ticket the merest suggestion of that sj mpathy. 4 Last week a college professor stated that the sun Is not a hot bod.v. but is as cold as the earth. Mundane conditions this week le.ue no impiession that the sun is freezing. - Bj the nomination of a Folk ticket throughout the Democratic party will forever make the boodle issue the exclusive burden of the M'ssouri Republi can pie federation. 4 The south side of Delmar boulevard, just out side the city limits, u so swiff that the authorities of St. Louis Countj- seem to be'unable to catch up.

RECENT COMMENT. THE BANK INCIDENT. Of Judge Parkei's qualifications theie can be no question. His illustrious judicial caicer of itstil is a guarantj- pioclalming him sound iu judgment, safe in decision, strong for the right. Ills opin ions, writings and addresses exhibit bieadth of grasp a'nd a profound, statesmaulj- intellect. But that he is a man of action and a deer as well as a man of thought Is equally plain. No rne Incident manifests more characteristical ly the business and executive qualities of Judge Parker than does the much-discussed matter of the Ulster County Savings Bank. No more fortunate story could be developed about a candidate than that which the Republican press brought out many months ago and then, finding that it reflected tie mendous credit on the candidate, diopped quite suddenly. One day in September of 1S01 the bank, of which lie was a trustee, closed its doors because of em bezzlements bj' the treasurer and assistant treas urer. The bank had deposits of ?2,500,000 and the embezzlement nmouuted to $400,000. wiping out the supposed surplus and making a deticiencj-. The bank had invested about a inlllion-auil-n-half in reil estate mortgages, one half of which was on the farms in Ulster County. To wind up the business of the bank, in the ordiuarj' xay, by appointing a receiver and distributing the assets pro rata, would be to foreclose these mortgages, throw nianj- on the market, reduce their values, ruin 'he farmers and Inflict further loss on the depositors. Judge Paiker at the time of the closing was at his Accord farm. Hearing of the disaster, he hur ried to an investigation. There were other trus tees, among them General George H. Sharpe, but Judge Parker, because of his masterfulness, became the onlj one. His first act was to lodge the as sistant treasurer In Jail that night. He next made a strong effort to induce a flduciarj- institution to take au assignment of the mortgages. But lie fnlled iu this. No institution was willing. Then he showed his resources and his inenthe twwers. BuMhe very suggestive 'points that he makes are!
