"HELLO, BAT'"
Ylien Mr. Koosevelt Is wholly Ingenuous you like
him, and there was a toach of genuine human na
ture and wholesome red-bloodeilness which will ap
peal to men revealed In the "Hello, Bat." with which
tlie President greeted Maslerson, the well-known
sporting- character and referee of ring contests.
When Bat called he was honored with precedence
over several Senators nnd Kepresentatives In the
waitlnzroom, nnd was shown ri?ht in to a Presi
dent cordial with extended hand. It was "Ilello,
; Hat," and "Howdy, Mr. President," and tlie con
versation soon turned on great rinjr contests.
One of Mr. Koosevelt's lirst questions was: "Bat,
how did 'Denver Ed Smith manage to knock out
Joe Goddard at New Orleans in '92;'
That, by the way, was the year in which Grover
Cleveland knocked out Ben Harrisou.
Somebody Is due to get a pretty good wallop In
11)01. Before the championship contest is pulled off,
however, there will be one or two qualifying pre
liminary scraps for Mr. Roosevelt. And an Im
portant question which lie might have propounded
to his visitor Is, "Say, Bat, liow can 1 manage to put
the flxin's on old M. A. Uanna?"
.
. A STRONG COMMITTEE.
Thcj Republic has already commented favorably
on the Civic Improvement League's plan to have a
committee which will keep watch on municipal busi
ness. That the League has received the Indorsement
of the Commercial Club In Its work, after this plan
.was stated, Is another advantage gained.
Mr. Thomas S. McPheoters told the Commercial
Club that the present Intention of the League is to
appoint nine representative citizens to tlie Commit
tee on Municipal Affairs. The committee will ob
serve the progress of all public business, legislative
and administrative, and will help or oppose whatever
administration may be In control as the administra
tion's work or policy may warrant or demand.
The labors of tills proposed committee will le
beneficial If the committee is representative, not of
:i certain class or element which Is representative in
a specific sense, but representative in a broad sense.
That is, in order to be useful, the committee should
represent the chief progressive factors of the whole
city.
It Is impossible, of couise, to have an active com
mittee which would have representation by district's,
or commercial or industrial pursuit's. But, it is pos-
j-lblo to have a committee which would really repre
sent the principal beneficial forces in the community.
During the past few years It has been observed
that the elemont or class which is known as repre
sentative has its friends in the city government, just
as the nonrepresentative. but also good, class has its
representatives there. The committee should be so
organized that It can act if need be, even against Its
friends. It should be representative in a broad sense.
.-,..
ANOTHER HYPHEN NEEDED.
They need a hyphen up there in Macon County,
too. Monday nt the Republican County Convention
four members of the Resolutions Committee split ofT
and framed up a minority report. Among other
things, they "thanked" one Mr. Nortoui for his serv
ice's, but thought It "inexpedient to mention his
nanie in connection with the governorship."
However they may have been right, or wrong,
the interesting point to be noted is that they split
off from the other resoluters.
There is this other interesting point, too, that,
notwithstanding their inability to agree upon any
one whose name was mentioned, nobody seemed to
remember that the Honorable C. P. Is etill able to
.Jt up and tako political nourishment Some other
conventions, or parts of conventions, recalled that he
was still on earth and nominated him for Vice Pres
ident of tho United States. The Macon County Re
publicans, on tho other hand, evidently forgot about
the-rice presidency altogether. The omission should
be repaired, as somebody has to be nominated for
the place.
But the significant fact, eniphasir.ijd by tlil con
vention, is that disruption among the Republican
lcsoluters of Missouri Is spreading to the point of
demoralization; and that the only remedy thus far
discovered is the Johnny Owen brand of hyphen by
which .split factions can be held together as long as
the impotent idealists will consent to follow tin
rough-and-ready result-getters. The St. Louis Republican-Hamilton
Club is the sole headquarters, lor
this hyphen. County politicians .should apply then
lnfore the Mock sours and turns into minus signs.

CIVIC IDEALS.
The recommendation for an eh:bii at the St.
Louis World's Fair demonstrating niunii-ijul v. oik
and methods was a h.ippy inspiration. .t first the
possibilities of the plan were not appealing; yet it
was a novelty, and if it could be prit-eiited with only
a degree of worthiness an experiment was advisable
both for the interest it would atmi.se among a few
thousands of enthusiasts and the general good tf
might do in raising the staudards of popular ideals.
As with every work which is a labor of love, the
resultant plans and arrangements far exceed expec
tations. What was first intended as an incidental
feature of the World's Fair has developed into one
of the most important of the regular exhibits. The
project is as earnestly fostered by the leading cities
of the country and the representative national and
local civic associations as it is by the Exposition
management.
Preparations were made at the start for constitut
ing "the Model City" on a reservation In the grounds
to exemplify the best systems In municipal improve
ments. The visitor might see how public work
should be done: how tewers, streets and buildings
rhould be constructed and how the model city should
be cleaned and kept clean and healthy.
Afterwards the principal cities rather, the most
progressive cities were Invited to have exhibits.
Large appropriations for this purpose have been
made by first-class and second-class cities, the class
being designated by the census statistics. New
Ycrlc, for Instance, has provided for exhibits of the
departments of Health, Charities and Correction.
Street Cleaning, Education, Finance, Tenement
house and so on. St. Louis will have a complete ex
hibit. AH of the chief cities will participate on a
commendable scale.
Should the achievement end here, there would be
ample reason for gratification. Fortunately, how
ever, much more will be done. It seems, in lact.
that as much progress has been made in stimulating
civic effort as ordinarily would take years to realize.
The various civic associations propose to meet at
the World's Fair In joint session aud endeavor to
reach an agreement for concerted and persistent ac
tion across the country In municipal betterment. Mr.
John A. Butler, chairman of the National Municipal
League's Committee on Civic Week, notifies Presi
dent Francis of the World's Fair that the National
Municipal League, the American League for Munici
pal Improvement, the League of American Munici
palities, the American Park and Outdoor Art Asso
ciation and similar organizations will hold a joint
session.
Each organization will appoint a representative
to expound Its plans, work and achievements and
Its relation to the work of municipal betterment
Papers will be read by men of experience and reputa
tion to explain municipal problems. And the par
ticipating organizations will come to satisfactory
terms for holding a joint session every year in St.
Louts.
The Model City plans have thus grown In a brief
time Into a national movementfor the promotion of
civic ideals. That the exhibit would produce many
benefits was expected and intended. But it is Im
probable that such promising results were so soon
anticipated. The municipal feature of the World's
Fair will be one of the most interesting, instructive
and beneficial, as well as one of the most Important
in many lespects.
GREAT LANGUAGE.
For thirty years the good people of this State
have provided rhemselves with a good deal better
than average government. The people of this State
are as good as any other people that grow. The fact
that a majority of them are Democrats surely can
not alter the high average of citizenship, but, If
anything, accentuates it.
In the natural order of things, however, there are
two points of view; and there will be found persons
who hold that to be a Republican Is better than to
bo a Democrat. But even among the extremest par
tisans there will not be found any persons with a
valid claim to Intelligence who denounce all men of
opposing political creed as barbarians, Digger In
dians and driveling idiots unfit for citizenship aud
suffrage.
These considerations bring us to the notice of the
Globe's very Interesting remarks upon the larger and
dominant element of Missouri's citizenship. Many
hundreds of thousands of Mlssourians are included
In the Globe's observation that "American man
hood," as typified by the people who support Democ
racy, has sunk "so low." The Missouri Democrat
who rigidly aud conscientiously supports his ticket,
wo are told by the Globe, Is "a groveling creature"
who Is "out of place In a Republic"; and. further,
that "he has less than the manhood found In Da
homey or among the Kaffirs."
In another breath, in a parallel column, the Globe
lauds Circuit Attorney Folk for his fidelity in al
wajs voting the Democratic ticket straight with the
one exception of scratching James Butler for Con
gress. The Globe thus exhibits its ability to talk
both waya; but the organ which called the Circuit
Attorney a designing politician with ulterior motives-,
and which demurred at expensive boodle Investiga
tions, cannot demonstrate that Its admiration for
Mr. Folk Is as sincere as its vituperative malevolence
toward other and equally respectable Missouriaus.
.-
ST. LOUIS PROGRESSIVE.
Completion of Important public work In prepara
tion for the World's Fair reflects credit on the
Board of Public Improvements and the Municipal
Assembly. In tho last two years the ptlncipal
streets in the central district, fioni the river out to
Forest Park, Including cross streets, have been re
constructed, and most of the road to the AVorld's
Fair grounds are in excellent condition.
Public Improvements have become ordinary.
Thhty and forty miles of street paving a year at
tracts no attention. Millions of dollars have -been in
vested in two years in this kind of work, changing
the appearance of the chief part of the city, and
there Is no disposition to glorify over the woik. The
sentiment Is not one of coutentthatso much basbeen
done, but of desire and enthusiasm for continued
progress.
The central district streets will jusliry the expec
tations of visitors. But the city should by all means
have Lindell boulevard paved and ready for use be
fore May. The improvement is authorized and it
should be made at once. No doubt the contractor
will be glad to have the woik finished in good time,
as it will be an advertisement for the pa ement
It Is cause Xor regret, however, that the Municipal
Assembly has not approved the board's plan for im
proving Laclede avenue. This thoroughfare prob
ably will not be popular as a driveway and is not
needed for this purpose, as the other avenues are
adequate. On the other hand, the Laclede avenue
cars will be extensively patronized all year, and
therefore the street should have a better appearance.
Probably It Is not too late to do some work on La
clede avenue.
In all other respects the city has done everything
that was expected. St. Louis is rapidly becoming
one of the liest-paved and cleanest of cities, as stian
gers know better than some residents do. It litis an
opportunity to win favorable comments this year,
and the most should be made of the opportunity.
The eflorts which St. Louis is making to butld
good, permanent pavements on all streets will not
suffer delay from the World's Fair. The centra: dis
trict lias been improved and now the Boaid Is ar
ranging to carry on this work in the northern, south
ern, noitliwestern aud southwestern sections. Vis
itors who may go beyond the central district this
year will sec street work going forward as Industri
ously and extensively as If the greatest of interna
tional expositions were not in progress.
Having provided for the comforts of its guests,
the city will demonstrate that its purpose to progress
is firm and lively. St. Louis will not be satisfied un
til all of the streets are well paved, until the sani
tary sewer system is adequate, until all the side
walks are properly improved, and until the public
buildings meet all requirements.

RECENT COMMENT.
The Race Peril Menace Sport.

The red Indian has "put It over" the proud Caucasian
on (lie football field, and has proved himself ablo to
swing the bat better than tho tomahawk on tho Ameri
can diamond. The negro has also shared football honors
In universities and schools. Ills Excellency, Sir Llans
Chen Tuns, tho Chinese Ambassador, was the marvel
of Andover In the early eighties as a pitcher and batter
on the Academy team. Those sportsmen who lament the
lnvuiion of their hardy pastlmo by aliens whoso prowers
they have held in contempt will shed the sympathetic
tear for the Anslo-Sinxons of New Zealand. The de
canters of Scotch whisky In ccry club of the colony
are wreathed 'n crane. The thousands of exiles from
Auld Scotia liavo ceased to smile at'thcir own ancient
and Imported copper-riveted Jests and stories. Over the
links from llawkes Bay to Otago there Is a gloom as
black as a London fop. The go" championship of New
Zealand has been won by a Maori plnycr, named Tareha.
He comes from the Ilawkes Bay district, and It will be
news to American sportsmen that from this rcjrlon como
alto ciack native football players who hold their own
with the bet of tho English experts in the colony. The
Aute College for llaorl and half-caste youths, the most
important of the native schools of New Zealand, is the
athletic nursery of such talent. The Harvard eleven
that watched Dillon, the Carlisle quarterback, scamper
to a touchdown with the ball tucked under his Jersey
must have had emotions akin to those which smote tho
golfers of New Zealand when Tareha, the Maori, carried
off the championship.

The World To-Day.
A great leason for the success of lobbjing lies in
the fact that the men we send to the Legislature, al
though intelllcent and able in 'ordinary affairs, know
nothing about the making of laws or the practical un
derlying principles of economics or political science.
This cannot be entirely remedied. The great business
interests have learned, however, that it Is a good In
vestment for them to hire experts In these matters, who
perhaps go from one State to another. These experts
have trained clerks and experts behind them to furnish
them with statistics, facts and legal points. When
such a man goes before a committue composed of good
farmers and manufacturers and brings up an array of
facts and figures, the committee is helpless In his hands.
They have not a word to say for themselves. Thus the
big business intercts often win by the Irresistible power
of logic alone. It the opponents of corporations were
as diligent as the corporations in getting such men or
were as careful In preparing their case, their effort3
would be far more successful.
