WORLD'S 190-
-FAIR
NAMING THE NEW CANAL.
Evidently the mania for perpetuating the name
of some man who in the brief span of this life has
achieved a modicum of success has not died from
one the human heart. The mania is most marked
Immediately succeeding the death of the man. In
the case In view a Chicago minister, the Keverend J.
H. Flannigan, is urging the United States Senators
to name the new Isthmian canal the "Banna" for
the Ohio Senator.
Marcus A. Hanna was, in his own particular
sphere, a great man of a single day. He elected his
friend to the Presidency on two occasions and when
conditions were auspicious for the success of his
party's candidate. He amsssed a big fortune. He
took a prominent part In arbitrating differences be
tween capital and labor. He was a United States
Senator. He was a leader of men. He was promi
nent In furthering the isthmian canaL He died at
the climax of his career, and, what Is to be naturally
expected, men are carried away by this fact much
as an excitable person is carried away by the lurid
iratory of a dramatic talker.
When Dewey won his victory In Manila Bay
schools, children and new towns were named for
him, and In St. Louis there was a decided move
ment to give his name to King's Highway boulevard.
It Is safe to say that all who advocated the local
scheme are glad now that It wasn't carried into ef
fect; and that without any lessening of respect for
Admiral Dewey's great achievement
Hanna was a great political leader. None will
deny that, but the appreciation does not suggest a
movement to hand his name down forever by means
of the isthmian canal. In five years he will be a
memory; In ten years his name will be known only
to students of politics. It Is the natural course of
events. He accomplished nothing of high import to
the world, as did Washington. He lived, was suc
cessful and died. He did nothing that should war
rant the perpetuation of his name In the coming
history of the Interoceanic canal.

STATE CIVIC LEAGUES.
Ona of the most hopeful sequences of the reform
campaign which has been waged in large and small
cities for several years Is the appearance In many
commonwealths of lntermunlclpal organizations
which bear the general name of State Municipal
Leagues. With every Important city of a State rep
resented at the regular conventions an organization
of this kind virtually is a permanent institution for
the promotion of civic betterment and ought to
have almost Irresistible influence upon public affairs.
Without at all detracting from the worthy char
acter and beneficial achievements of the national
manlcipal associations, whether representative of
large or smaller progressive municipalities, It might
be said that the State leagues should have more
practical value and get better results. The big asso
ciations, embracing an extensive territory, can ex
ert a strong moral Influence for advancement; but
the minor associations, limiting their sphere to one
State only, must be the more potent force.
Most, if not all, of existing State leagues of mu
nicipalities confine their membership to public offi
cials. At the conventions papers are read on public
improvements and plans for public work in the sev
eral cities of the State. Questions of policy are also
discussed. Opportunity is afforded for comparison,
aad naturally a friendly Jealousy Is fostered among
rival towns. The meetings are educative for offi
cials and have an encouraging action. Therefore, if
the membership Is restricted to public officials alone,
the leagues still are powerful agents.
Why not enlarge upon the usefulness and In
crease the potency of State municipal leagues? Or,
better, why not organize State associations compris
ing delegates from the civic leagues of the various
cities? Why not have popular State leagues, as well
as leagues of public officials?
Explanations are not required to show the pos
sibilities of an institution of this type. It would
keep public enthusiasm alive and propagate civic
pride. It would accelerate the desire for civic bet
terment. It would create rivalry to a good purpose
in the towns of a State. It would urge citizens to
take mere Interest in public affairs. It would es
tablish better standards. And. above all, the union
of the cities would enable them to carry out neces
sary laws and effect necessary reforms along radical
lines.
As a national association the Civic Improvement
Leagues thus exist. There can be no mistake about
their usefulness. They are getting practical results;
they are realizing. The State leagues of municipal
officials ami the national associations of officials and
engineers are reaping benefit1?. The State league
as at present organized should be found in every
commonwealth. But the circumstances of the time
point to the advisability of also establishing more
or less popular leagues throughout each Stnte. Many
an important cause has been lost for lack of popular
education and organization.
,
A GRAVE ISSUE.
No good citizen can read the story of the Dem
ocratic primaries in St. Louis last Saturday without
recognizing that a new it.sue has been created, of
graver character and higher importance than any
question of partisan politics. The story of the day
Is a talc of outrage and infamy outrage completely
thwarting private right ami personal liberty; in
famy loadiug the police authorities with disgrace.
It Is impossible to speak of the day's occurrences
with moderate phrases. They require strong lan
guage, and no words can exagecrate the gravity of
the issue St. Louis faces, it would have been suffi
ciently serious if the police hail simply been unable
to repress the riotous proceodincs of the organized
gangs of ruffians that Invaded the West End pre
cincts. But the seriousness of the situation is great
ly increased by the overwhelming mass of evidence
showing that the police willingly permitted many
outrages to go unrebuked, if tbey did not actually
and actively assist the rutlians who committed them.
There is no chance to question the fact that
the imported rowdies who ran amuck continuously
for six long hours in the Twenty-eighth Ward
had the sympathy and protection of the police who
were stationed at Its two polls. Citizens who were
shoved and beaten and slogged In their efforts
to faithfully execnte a high civic duty appealed In
vain for police protection. Voters who were per
sonally known to the officers found their appeals
as absolutely futile as those who were unknown,
and the word seems to have been passed around
that a man with a clean shirt or a decent coat was
to be accorded no rights unless he was known to
carry a Hawes ballot
Mr. Hawes and the leaders who are associated
with him, as well as the Board of Police Commis
sioners and the Chief of Police, must meet the "full
load of responsibility the riotous scenes of Saturday
Impose upon them. It will not avail to deny the
rioting and outrage. It was witnessed by too many
people and Is denounced by too many Democrats
with lifelong records of party loyalty. It will not
avail to disapprove and condemn. The riot at the
Clayton primary put everyone on guard, and the
duty of Mr. Hawes, of his friends and of the police
authorities, who were thus forewarned, was to take
effective precautions to prevent similar occurrences
at the St Louis primaries. Sins of omission may be
no less grave than those of commission.
In the new and dominant Issue thus forced to the
front the people of Missouri, the people of the whole
State, are no less concerned than are the people of
St Louis Itself. With personal liberty at an end
and free suffrage lost in St Louis, the State is in
the gravest danger. The riot of misrule and disor
der here carries 111 delegates Into each State Con
vention to misrepresent St Louis and mislead the
State Democracy. It remains to be seen whether
the Democracy of Missouri is willing to confirm this
domination of rowdies and ruffians.
:
show that the parents of the boys of Utah are prac
tically enemies of the Government In dissuading
their sous from entering West Point they are doing
all within their power, little though it be, to cripple
the armed efficiency of the nation. The academy Is
simply a training school for the army; a school In
which officers are properly trained to command
troops in case of war.
Did other States In the Union follow the lead of
Utah; were other patents equally opposed to a mili
tary training for their sous. It Isn't very difficult to
realize the condition in which the American Army
would be nor its position when confronted by a
hostile army. Apparently the Mormons, any way
yon take them, in the language of the streets, are
"no good."
-4.
Some of the lifelong Democrats who witnessed
the disgraceful scenes Saturday in the West End
have in the heat of indignation declared that they
would not tote again for the party's nominees.
This declaration they will regret. There is no in
ducement for them In the Republican party. They
must remember tho spectacle presented by the Re
publican direct primaries not so long ago. Gangs
of the same kind, directed by leaders of the same
kind, were in active operation. The course for the
citizen of the riht spirit is to stick to the party and
force the ruffians out of political business.
THE SENSIBLE PUBLIC.
The amount traded in on the New Tork Stock
Exchange one recent day was 73,300 shares and the
Associated Press adds that "professional traders on
the floor did practically nothing."
That is the greatest compliment paid In years to
the Intelligence of the American people. It recallsJ
to mind that only a few weeks ago the low record
for trading on the New York Cotton Exchange was
also reached, another tribute to the American people.
Tor years the bulls and bears of New York ha
fattened on the lambs, the latter coming under the
comprehensive head of "the public," and commend
able enterprise has been shown in showing to the
public some man who made a few millions of dol
lars, and carefully concealing the thousands of peo
ple who lost their all among the cheerful gamblers
of Wall street Only two weeks ago the widow of
the former law partner of EUhu Root killed herself
because Ehe had lost in speculation 5300,000 left her
by her husband.
When the sales on the New York Stock Exchange
reach 73300 Instead of from 200,000 to 1.000,000 it
is a sure Indication that the public has "caught on"
to the manipulations and learned that the winnings
they make at first are "feelers" to draw them deeper
and deeper. The public Is rapidly learning that
there Isn't anything to be gained in Wall street
speculation.
-
THE CURSE OF UTAH.
Following close upon the repulsive testimony of
the Mormon leaders in Washington and the frank
admissions of their disregard for law comes another
story from Utah which causes one to doubt the
Americanism and the patriotism of the Mormons.
Only four boys appeared in Salt Lake recently
for examination for admittance to the military
academy at West Point and only one had an average
high enough to send him to Fort Logan for his final
examination. State Superintendent of Public In
struction Nelson of Utah, in commenting upon this
said there was a decided aversion among the people
of Utah to military duty and that the parents did all
that lay within their power to dissuade the boys
from trying for West Point
These brief facts, are worthy of study. They

RECENT COMMENT.
Labor tn the Sooth.
Nashville American.
There Is no gainsaying the fact that in tho South
labor Is free and Independent and that It Is to this fact
more than any other that Southern industries are In a
flourishing condition. In the North and Bast the walk
ing delegate and his followers have so annoyed employers
that many of them have almost lost hope of ever main
taining peaceful relations with their employes. That
this Is true Is shown In the expressed determination of
several Eastern cotton-mill men to transfer their In
terests to the South rather than longer submit to the
arbitrary methods of the labor organizations. They feel
that down here they will not be at tho mercy of agi
tators who live by Inciting troubles between employe
and employer. They have found, by observation and In
quiry, that much of the success of the Southern mill
men Is directly attributable to the freedom of their em
ploves from unionism, and they are shrewd enough to
take advantage of this fact. No fair-minded employer
wants to seo labor deprived of Its Just rewards, for con
tented and well-paid employes bring profit to them
teHes.and to their employer, but the methods pursued
by the unions In many Northern and Eastern industrial
centers breed dissatisfaction among employers and bring
want and penury to labor.
Lonff-Tcrm Senators.
Springfield Republican.
Long terms of service In the United States Senate
are more peculiar to present time, apparently, than In
earlier days, though a popular Impression prevails to
the contrary. Benton's term of thirty years, which was
noteworthy In its day, has since been frequently equaled
or surpassed, as In the cases of John Sherman and Jus
tin Morrill. Now we have two Senators from a single
State celebrating thi completion of twenty-three years
of continuous service within a few days of each other
Eugene Hale and William P. Frye of Maine who. if
they live, will probably be able to extend their senatorial
careers beyond thirty years, for the people of Maine
show no disposition to retire them, in which they are
wise. Mr. Hear of Massachusetts has been there twenty
seven years, and so have Stewart of Nevada and Mor
gan of .Alabama. Teller of Colorado has twenty
four years of senatorial experience and Piatt of Con
necticut twenty-five. The number of present members
who have been there twenty years or over Is much
larger and forms a very considerable fraction of the
whole body It Is far harder to get Into the Senate now
than In times before the Civil War. and It seems to be
correspondingly easier for those who are In to keep their
places.
Roosevelt u Seen by R1I.
Collier's Weekly.
Some men do good by seeing things In their exact
proportions. Rlls Is no such realist He sees everything
as he would have It Mr. Lincoln Steffens is an example
of the kind of man who seeks reform by ruthless and
precise exposure. He suggested to Mr. Rlis that In his
biography of Mr. Roosevelt he should tell the whole
truth. "Paint the real Roosevelt." he said. "It is the
only way you can help him. People won't believe you if
you give them fairy tales, and the President Is such a
good man he will gain by being truthrully portrayed."
Rlls did not understand where there was any danger of
falsification. "Oh. let his faults be part of the story,"
said the critic. "But he has no faults." replied the en
thusiast. Abraham Lincoln once refused to read a life
of Burke on the ground that all biographies were the
same universal eulogies, only the names and dates being
changed.

Into the gaping wounds. They looked on in wonderment
while Doctor Allen sewed up the wounds and tied the
arteries. A Chinese General was among the bystanders,
and had the wit to cruras Doctor Allen's services for
twenty of his wounded soldiers who had been concerned
In tho riot. The surgical operations were In the main
successful.

"THE ISLE OF SPICE"
PLEASED A LARGE CROWD.
When an audience demands repetitions
of a song, vou are reasonablv -sure that
that song has "caught on " "Peggy Bra
dy" was demanded eight times last night
In the Century Theater It is reasonably
safe to assume, therefore, that it made
the one big hit of the songs in "The Isle
of Spice." It's a catchy thine, rather sug
gestive of "Mollle Shannon." and it was
well sung by Miss Leslie Leigh and a cho
rus of considerable strength.
"Peggy Brady ' did not .ome along unt.l
the second act, and, since thero was com
paratively little of concern in the first act,
some folks were Inclined to leave when
the curtain went down. These persons
made a mistake, for the second and third
acta ar the best of the three, the hrst
being what one may call a preface to the
real music of the extravaganza.
The book Is of our old friend the penni
less King and the two adventurers and
Is rather cleverly worked out.
The whole extravaganza Is magnificently
staged. There are several Ideas' worked

and they took advantage of every oppor
tunity to let the fact be known. There
was a song after every good Joke The
result was a fast performance, -with some
thing doing every minute.
There has been some theatrical curios
ity as to how- "The Runavvajs" would i;o
without Fay Templcton. who, aided by
Mr. Dunn, carried the piece successward
in the East. When she left the cast It
remained for Arthur Dunn to get tno
laughs. Tho way he goes about the tak
of being funny enough for two, of making
an audience think tne farce was concoct

preciated. . ,

The marked Improvement Is due to the
relief experienced from tne lancing of an
other abscess. The Senator swallows
readily now and Is able to converse with
out difficulty. This morning the Senator
suffered extreme pain, its Intensity being
greater than any he had experienced
since the throat affection first manifested
Itself, but to-daj'a operation ended the
pain.
