WORLD'S- 903 - FAIR.
THE CUP IX DAXGER.
With Shamrock II now lu American
waters and In fine condition to sail for
the Cup, an exceptional interest attached
to the final test races between Constitu
tion nnd the successful Columbia, yes
terday selected as defender.
Loyal Americans will naturally feel
apprehension as well as interest. The
situation is not reassuring.
j." Columbia, it is true, is a better boat
' than when she successfully , held the Cup
in J 899, and, judging from yesterday's
decision, probably faster than Constitu
tion. But Shamrock II is far and away
'the best boat.tbat has ever come across
the water to strive for the Cup and
we'll need a mighty swift craft 10 keep
her from -winning it.
It Is just as well to face the facts. The
America's. Cup is In greater danger this
year than ever before. We bare been
teaching the Britishers many "things
-about the building and racing of yachts.
They hove profited by- the teaching.
Their profit may mean our loss of the
Cup. Remember this We have now
held the Cup for half a century and It's
a' long lane that has no turning.
THE LE8SOX.
With the opening of the public schools
teachers will begin the teaching again
of the one .lesson that children never
learn until they are out of school.- The
. lesson is short, but a hard one.
Briefly, it Is the fact that no one suf
' fers front the shirking of school studies
'"-'excepting the puglL If quick-witted
Johnny discovers that he can "pass" by
- skimming over his. dally task, the teach
er will not be the. one fooled. If lazy
Susan manages to slide through the
.monthly examination, the teacher does
not get the worst of the proposition.
Johnny and Susan may think that they
are cute, but they are not. They are
the ones who will find that they have
traded poor -work for poor returns. They
. will find after a while that the teacher
- actually did not figure In the problem.
They will " discover thaf while they
thought they were "working" the teach
er they were being "worked" by them
selves. - Improved charts, diversified courses of
study.and new-fangled ideas of pedagogy
bare not changed this lesson since the
time that Adam and; Eve got it into their
heads that "they were fooling the owner
. of Eden. The boy or girl who learns
The' lesson will be the one at .the head.
..of bis class. la' after life lie may be
- assured that he will stand as high
among his fellows in business or pro
fession. GETTING IX SHAPE.
Chief Klely described snappy state of
.affairs in the work of his department
when be recently said that there has not
"been a time in the last twenty-five years.
when St. Louis bad so few burglaries,
robberies and hold-ups.
As' one of the preliminary steps to
ward puttlng'thla city in shape for the
-World's Fair this comparative Immunity
from crime la noteworthy.
' Many things hare contributed, Chief
Klely explains, to bring "about this re
suit During tbe'past two or three years
-some of the worst criminals have been
sent to the Penitentiary with exemplary
sentences. "This cutting off of the chief
instigators and perpetrators of evil' has
bad the Inevitable effect of lessening
recruits to the world of graft.
The strict surveillance kept over the
pawnshops and secondhand stores
'makes it-difficult far thieves to dispose
of their plunder. Keepers of "fences"
have been sent to Jeffefson City for long
: terms. The new system of Informing
the police of absences from the city dur-
. Ing the summer months has prevented
the wholesale gutting of bouses.
- This work of an adequate police force,
together with the co-operation of Judges
sitting In the two criminal divisions of
the Circuit Court, has made St. Louis a
relatively safe city. "It is a happy
augury for 1000. It Is badnews for the
criminals who. may be anticipating in
. the World's Fair an excellent field for
. their operations.
-: HARD TO CHANGE.
"- - There are difficulties In the way of
-' , changing the date of the presidential in
auguration. The advocates in Wsshlng
' ton will' nave to overcome them before
- the plan can come to a successful issue.
" March 4 Is proverbially rainy. "The
thousands who throng' to the Capitol at
' - . that tiate saally seethe ceremonies in
'.-- the midst of a 'drizzle .that takes the
-'' v - spirit out of the occasion. Many deaths
j.' r-'baTe resultedvfrom the exposure. Often

years." Likewise the Constitution pro
vides that the Congressional term of of
fice shall be two years. There is no way
In which these can be lengthened by two
months except through the adoption of
amendments.
Under these condltlons.lt appears that
the only Improvement that can be made
will be In having a private Inauguration
March 4 and public ceremonies on the
later date. T3veu then, the outgoing
President might be absent. Congress
would ordinarily be adjourned. At best,
the parade and the elaborate formalities
would seeni somewhat hollow. Practical
difficulties seem to assure a continuance
or the present Inauguration date, un
pleasant as the weather usually Is iu
March.
MISSOURI'S CALAMITY.
Mls&ourians who see tit to rote the
Democratic ticket and steadfastly main
tain their allegiance to lite principles
upon which the United States tioveru
nient was established quite naturally re
sent the abuse heaped upon them by the
tilobe-Deniocrut because or their Democ
racy. It Is not exactly fair for the (Jlobe to
herald these Missourians to l lie world as
filled with "sodden political prejudices."
or to charge that they are "deadened to
all sense of good government and polit
ical falrneiss," or to assert that they "re
joice when elections are stolen." or to
declare that they "look upon financial
discrepancies as proof of party smart
ness," or to state that they "teek only
Democratic success, and have uo
scruples as to the meaus by which it is
gained."
Missourians are patient and forbear
ing folk, but this kind of insolent black
guarding is calculated to exhaust their
patience and terminate their forbear
ance. For many years now the Globe-Democrat
has indulged itself iu this habit of
vilification of the people of Its own
State. It does not seem able to live
down its strange hatred of Missouri and
of the people of Missouri. Its editorial
billingsgate leveled at Missouri is fre
quent and as bitter as the Globe knows
how to make it. There Is no. greater
pleasure possible to the Globe than to
find its editorial attacks on Missouri
quoted in the newspapers of other States
as proving Missouri's worthlessness and
degradation. The Globe will Ignore n.
truth of credit to Missouri any time in
order to publish instead a falsehood of
discredit.
It is not so long ago that the Globe
was proclaiming as truth the He that
Missouri had gone to protest on its State
warrants. It Is now' as groundlessly con
tending that the School Fund of Mis
souri has been looted and that the State
funds of Missouri have been embezzled
or made away with In some other mys
terious manner. Of course, this is all
Globe-Democrat malice, but part of the
outside world believes it to le the truth.
The Globe-Democrat Is in the nature of
a calamity to Missouri.
SAMPLE WESTERNERS.
It is great to be in the midst of things.
It Is worth while to be in trouble If you
have plenty of neighbors In the same fix.
Kansas appreciates its geographical
position by bobbing up serenely from
any sort of discouragement. As the
State of extremes, Kansas holds the
palm. That Is why the world considers
It a first-class barometer.
So it Is no surprise to hear that Kan
sas contemplates happy times around
the farmhouse baseburner this winter!
In the current number of the Review of
Reviews, Professor Frank W. Blackmar
cites a few facts that were forgotten
while the drought reports were being
sent out. Though this year's drought is
the worst since 1800, Kausas is not com
plaining. Yet the loss has been serious, for In
stead of the 134,000,000 bushels of corn
of 1800, this year's crop will not ex
ceed 50,000,000 bushels. Other forage
crops have also suffered in correspond
ing measure. Yet Secretary of ' State
Coburn estimates that Kansas has 40,
000,000 bushels of old corn in crib. Not
only that, but the railroads and Kansas
are on friendly terms; so much so that
Vice President Paul Morton of the Santa
Fe has announced that "if there is corn
to be had anywhere wc will be glad to
haul It into Kansas at reduced rates to
provide feed for live stock."
Last year the live stock Industry net
ted Kansas about $67,000,000. In the
banks are about $70,000,000. The old
mortgages are" all paid. This year's
wheat -crop will bring $60,000,000 on the
farm, or over $8,000,000 more than In
the banner year of 1900. All together
Professor Blackmar estimates the value
of farm products in Kansas at $145,000,
000, about $9,000,000 more than in the
banner year of 1807. ,
This material wealth Is not the only
source of strength in the present condi
tion of Kansas. Being always where It
can be seen, the State is either "in the
dnnps" or in the seventh heaven. The
realization that Kansas is bo much bet
ter off than was anticipated during July
has made the people believe that they
and the nation arc prosperous. They
have, confidence in themselves and in
the State. This combined with the "ac
tual wealth on hand makes the .future
bright.
FLOURISHING SCHOOLS.
Superintendent Soldan reports, after
having visited the. St. Louis schools fol
lowing their opening for the term of
1901-02, that be found everything in
satisfactory condition and that the
schools have never started with a better
promise of a successful year.
This Is most encouragingvto the par
ents of St Louis school children, and
to all thropghtful folk Interested In the
cat.se. of education. The public schools
of a great city represent the typical
form of education In a free and self
governing country. Their proper main
tenance, their adequacy, for the. 'great
task devolving upon tbem, the organiza
tion of their official forces, are matters
of the most vital Importance. '
Superintendent Bobbin's Informal re
port Is also-an additional, proof of the
value of the services being rendered by
the present School Board. The faithful
Bt Loulssns composing -this board have"
brought the public schools of 8t Louis
to the highest point of effleieney known
li -'their, history. ItilS. evident that they
propose .to .maintain the high .standard

work.
SOME QUESTIONS.
It has been beveral months since the
Globe-Democrat began 'Its discussion of
Missouri's finances. In that time no
prominent Republican or man of affairs
lias cared to volunteer as an ally of the
Globe.
This Is a hirange thing In n political
crusade. As having a bearing on the
general trend of the situation, the Globe
might add force to its assertions by
showing that public opinion believes the
charge". It might luqulie of tile bankers
or tills city. Republicans preferred, what
they think of th alter.
The Republic suggests that definite an
swers beta-cured to tin; following definite
quetiuus:
What is the animus of the Globe's
charges?
Do you believe that Missouri has Inst
n cent by "discrepancies" alleged by the
Globe?
What do .you think of a paper that
makes chaws, which, if untrue, nvc, a
Slander on Missouri; ami refuses to look
into their accuracy?
Do you think that the Stale debt has
been paid off in n business-like manner?
What do you think of the Globe's re
fusal to investigate the books after being
asked to do so?
Do you think that a paper Is worthy
of credence which Hist claims that it
takes ?7 to pay ?1 of debt nnd then
comes down to ?2 for ?1 of debt?
Have you heard of a business man
who believes the Globe's charges of dis
crepancies? What do you think of the Globe's
bookkeeping?
Isn't it rotten?
When the Globe-Democrat mentions
looted school funds It never remembers
that Missouri distributed to the schools
$100,000 more this year than last year.
The Republican organ grudges saying
anything good of Missouri.
It might be well for the Globe-Democrat
to get up a list of prominent Re
publican bankers iu St. Louis who be
lieve that the officers of Missouri have
been guilty of embezzlement through a
long course of years.
When claiming that there Is a dis
crepancy of a million or so in a State
.fund uccouut, the Giobc-Democrat has
tens to add that It accuses no one of
embezzlement. This has all the ear
marks of cowardice.
It is disgraceful enough to be either
ignorant or brazen; and when the Globe
Democrat combines both of these quali
ties in Its efforts to traduce Missouri it
applies for a job under police super
vision. There will be the most diversified con
gress of religions, habitations, costumes,
colors,- industries and tribes in the
World's Fair that the world bas ever
seen. It will be the ethnological ex
hibit. ,
Secretary Ellis of the State Board of
Agriculture believes that Missouri River
farmers will diversify their crops beret
after. If that is doue the drought will
not have been such a calamity.
There are several arithmetics that
teach addition and subtraction. It
would pay the Globe-Democrat to In
vestigate their merits before discussing
the finances of Missouri.
Another Illinois man has become dis
gusted with Governor Yates's political
actions and thrown up his appointment.
That is one Way of preserving his polit
ical honor.
Unfortunately for the Sultan of Tur
key, the concert part of the European
programme seems to be ended. The
Sultan never could compete against
soloists.
Missouri Democracy desires no better
campaign literature than is contained In
a. comparative showing of Democratic
and Republican public service In Mis
souri. Republicans are offering to compare
Missouri finances In 1865-1871 with tiie
present condition. Well, well. As a
political game this looks like a come
on. St. Louis bas tied $.17,000,000 to the
first stake driven in tlte World's Fair
site. Inasmuch as that Is only the nest
egg, the stake is necessarily a strong
one.
Chief Kiely thinks that St. Louis Is a
mighty good place in which to live.
What Is more, be intends to keep it so
through the time of the World's Fair.
i
The men in charge of the World's Fair
have had to undo no mistakes! That
alone marks the Louisiana Purchase
Celebration as a world-beater.
A surpassing educational exhibit at the
World's Fair is demanded by the same
enlightening spirit which calls for a
complete ethnological display.
St. Louis has excellent reason to be
proud of its prosperous public schools
and of the School Board to whom credit
for this prosperity is due.
Mayor Wells's fine physical condition
after bis Eastern holiday suggests the
thought that he's in" excellent trim to
tackle the House combine.
' Columbia will again defend' the
America's Cup and all Americans hope
she may be a two-time winner against
the two-time Shamrock.
Missourians will believe no Soft Bill
accusation of an embezzling discrepancy
until something better than an "if"
prefaces the charge.
Roosevelt's presidential wirepulling In
the West and Hanna's in the East leave
things mighty hopeless-looking for other
Republican aspirants.
If Roosevelt can keep Republican
politics stirring this way during vaca
tion, what won't be do wben the Senate
is in session? -

thunderous applause of the multitude.
Never before has such a crowd gathered

In front of the Government buildings at th;

A detail of police kept the .rowil back
from the sidewalk In front of the home of
Mr. Mllburn. In D-l-tware avenuu win re
the President stopped, but thoie most cjfr
to catch a glimpse of the President and
Mrs. McKinley Indiscriminately Invaded tfce
beautiful lawns of tlie .idjolninr residences,
and some even went so fir as 10 climn up
on the verandas.
The President and Mrs. McKinley, who
walked unassisted, omcra:d r.t 10 o'clock.

"Ladies and Gentlemen The President.
The great audience then broke out with a
mighty cheer, which continued as President

President McKinley spoke In part as fol

"The Pan-American Exposition has done
Its work thoroughly, presenting In Its ex
hibits evidences of the highest jsklll and
Illustrating the progress of the human
family in the Western Hemisphere. This
portion of the earth has no cause for hu
miliation for the part it has performed In
the march of civilization. It has not ac
complished everything; far from it. It has
simply done Its best-and without vanity
or boastfulness, and recognizing the mani
fold achievements of others. It Invites the
friendly rivalry of all the Powers in the
peaceful pursuits of trade and commerce
and will co-operate with all In advancing
the highest and best interests of humanity.

"After all, how near one to the other 1sn

have brought Into close relation widely
separated peoples and wade them better

"At the beginning of the Nineteenth Cen.
tury there was not a mile of steam railroad
on the globe. Now there are enough miles
to make Its circuit many times. Then there
was not a tine of electric telegraph; now we
have a vast mileage traversing all lands
and all seas. God and man have linked the
nations together. No nation can longer be
indifferent to any other. And as we are
brought more and more In touch with each
other the less occasion Is there for misun
derstandings and the stronger-the disposi
tion when wo have differences to adjust
them In the court of arbitration, which is
the noblest forum for the settlement of in

Shareholders In Great Enterprise.
"We have a vast and Intricate business
built up through years of toll and strug
gle, In which every part of the countrv
has Its atake, which will not permit of
either neglect or of undue semsnness. 2to
narrow, sordid policy will subserve It. Tni
greatest skill and wisdom on the part of
the manufacturers and producers will be
required to hold and Increase It. Our In
dustrial enterprises, which have grown to
such great proportions, affect the homes
and occupations of the people and the wel
fare of the country. Our capacity to pro
hiim has developed so enormously and our
nroducts have so multiplied that the problem
of more marceis requires wur urgent anq.
Immediate attention.
"Only a broad and enlightened policy will
keep what we have. No other policy will
get more. In these times of marvelous bus
iness energy and gain we ought to be look
ing to the future, strengthening the weak'
places In our Industrial and commercial sys
tems, that we may be ready for any storm
or strain.

"The period of excluslveness la past." The
expansion of our trade and commerce Is
the pressing problem. ' Commercial wars
are unprofitable. A policy of good will and
friendly trade relations will prevent repri

with the spirit of the times; measures of
retaliation are not.- ,.
"If perchance some of our" tariffs are no
longer needed for revenue or to encourage

"Who can tell the new thoughts that have
b;en awakened, the ambitions fired and the
high achievements that will be wrought
through this exposition?
"Gentlemen, let us ever remember that our
interest la In concord, not conflict, and that
our real eminence rests In the victories of
peace, not those of war. We hope that all
who are represented here may be moved
to higher and nobler effort for their own
and the world's good, and that out of this
city may come, not only greater commerce
and trade for us all, but. more essential
than these, relations of mutual respect, con
fidence and friendship which will deepen
and endure. Our earnest prayer is that God
will graciously vouchsafe prosperity, happi
ness and peace to all our neighbors, and like
blessings to all the peoples and Powers of
earth."

of applause occurred while President Mc

STRIKE SETTLEMENT
IS NOW PROBABLE.
General Opinion Is That the War
ring Factions Hare Reached
an Agreement
Pittsburg. Pa., Sept. 6. The prevailing1
opinion in Pittsburg. to-night is that the '
great steel strike Is practically settled, but
absolutely nothing positive can be learned
from either side to the controversy.
The day was spent with the Amalgamated)
Advisory Board in secret conference behind
doors that were guarded closer than ever
before.
When the final adjournment for the day
came", at about 630 p. m.. those who had
been inside the headquarters refused to say
a word.
When the meeting was over It was learned
for the first time that President Shaffer
had not been with his colleagues at ths
afternoon session, and his whereabouts uri
to 11 o'clock to-night are unknown.' Sec
retary Williams also disappeared shortly
after adjournment, and he, too, cannot bo
located.
It Is the belief of those who are famnias
with the strike proceedings throughout that
the two gentlemen have started upon an
other unannounced and mysterious visit to
.New York. It is believed that. the morning
session of the Advisory Board must have
decided upon a plan by which President' -Shaffer
could go to New York and complete)
the arrangement for peace which It Is sup
posed was started by the conference' yes .
terday between the steel magnates and ths
presidents of the several trades unions.
