W0UL1VS PAIR DISI'ENSAUV.
The Houso of Delegates sliould reconsider Its
vote tigalust converting tliu Forest Park Cottage In
lo an Inflniwry. An emergency Uocjiltal Ls needed
near the World's Fair, as Health Commissioner
Simon Mates, lu addition Jo tho ono within the
grounds.
If the House will take Into account the accom
tnodatkm which the Cottage would supply as an
emergency hospital, It will hardly fall to reconsider
the adverse vote. The hospital In the grounds ls
not suffleleut. There ought to be another Imme
diately outride the grounds. No bulldlug Is so con
enlent or so well adapted for the rctiulrenients as
the Cottage.
As an emergency hospital the Cottage might be
iho agency of saving life and certainly of affording
great convenience.
CKITIC1SM l'llOll TWO SOUKCUS.
Ycsitwtlay the (Jlobe mentloued as a fault the
fact that The Kepublle Is not editorially a partisan
of Mr. Folk's candidacy for the Governorship. Mr.
Hawes gave. out the anie day a statement in which,
withdrawing from active participation In the can
vass, his fau'.Mlndlng took the form of complaint
th.it the "metropolitan papers" meaning chiefly The
ltepulilie had created an image of Mr. Folk agaiust
which It was impossible l'or a mere ttntiaicted man
to contend.
Some people are so hard to please. The Hepublie
tells the truth at all times and lets Democratic can
didates light their own littles before the people.
With strict impartiality, though never with indiffer
ence or neglect. It gives all respectable party candi
dates equal opiwtuntties to present their claims.
This seems to be the only eonud policy for a good
newspaper. Yet the Globe and Mr. Hawcs, for dif
ferent reason, would have It otherwise.
The Republic's policy will proceed unchanged,
just the saine.
To the Globe It is enough to say that two years
ago it was attacking Mi Folk: and that right now
it is beglnulug to IwlU attack and oppose him. The
Globe exposes Itself.
Mr. Haves ought to reflect upon the columns" of
space he has had lu the metropolitan papers. If he
has not won the support of Missouri Democrats for
the nomination, it would seem that possibly he did
not use his columns of space to good advantage.
Some time a friend will whisper to Mr. Uawes
that he ha done as much as any other mtn to in
sure Mr. Folk's nomination. The chronology of the
canvass shows that .Mr. Folk's support began to
solidify and become aggressive as soon as Mr.
llawcs announced his own lutentiou of Uvouilng a
candidate. If there is any relation of cause and
effect hero, evidently the proper feeling for Mr.
Hawes Is remorse and not tvsenttnenr.
Yesterday's statement by Mr. Hawes will give
rise to souse more questlou as to the quality of Mr.
llawfis's political leadership. He says that he
ceases to contest, but will hold his St. Louis dele
gates and will go before the State Convention. As
It happens that the delegates are- cot Instructed and
that lots of them have -views of their awn. this hold
ing together may not happen. If It does happeu,
people will suspect that the St. Louis 111 are he:d
for trading purposes with regard to other places on
the ticket. In any case people in the counties will
not understand why an unseltish' parry man should
prolong the contusion and bitterness of a tight after
he admits th.tt he has no chance.
And Mr. Hawes .says that he will support Mr.
Folk If the latter Is nominated: still Insisting that
Mr. Folk is no Democrat, that Mr. Felt's promises
Will never be executed and that the party Is rushing
to w-orks meet for repentance. And his reason?
Otdy that in a private interview Mr. Folk agreed to
ll"'
Kupjiort liini if he wcie nominated. Why doesn't
Mr. Hawes coino right out and say that Mr. Folk
Is a Demoer.tr worthy of parly support, that his
promh-crt will be litllllled and Hint Missouri will be
proud of Itself when he N elected? Underneath it
all .Mr. IlinveK must moan just tint, mid iimim. in
tend (o wiy eery bit of it after the State Conven
tion, or lie could not explain why lie will Mippmt
Mr. Folk. In short. hl own Mgued Htntvuieiit Is
the best primf that he knows Mr. Folk to he Hilly
worthy of the honor: mid Unit he expects li a.v wi
imbllcly and pilvately the liniment the Slate Con
veiition, if mi ordi'ied by the Democracy, iioliiiluttes
the Clrtull Attorney.
So, when Mr. Hawes sills down the polities of
the year, lie must come to I he conclusion that lie
has had most generous treatment at the hands ol
the metropolitan press, meaning The ltepulilie, and
that he Is as much as anybody luspousible for Iho
way in wliloj Mr. Folk has been carrying counties
and that the Democratic party of Missouri i.s all
right.

To-morrow- the City of Palaces, whole marvel !s
set against marvel until the wonderful becomes a
matter of course, will throw its gates open, lis
iiioicsler buildings, with their wealth or products and
processes, will luite inspection. The peoples, the
habits, the garbs, the ails, the ludustiics, the birds
and animals and plants of every climate will teach
through the eyo the complete lesson of the Twen
tieth Century's llrst decade. In the pet.snn of one
of its greatest minUilers the Government of the
United States will be here to address the people of
St. Ixmls and their guests. The Governor of Mis
souri and the chief executives of sister States will
repteseut the sections of our country. Foreign
Commissioners, selected for their eminent achieve
ments, will tell the message of friendly co-operation
in the greatest of modern enterprises. When the
Imposition opens the people of this city, who have
given so nobly of their means aud energy to make
the Deposition worthy of the history of the Louis
iana 1'urchasc, will feel twice repaid for their
saerllleos.

FUNDS FOR PROGUL'SS.
Willi becoming appieciation Mayor Wells has
acknowledged that In realizing success for good gov
ernment .his administration has had the loyal sup
port of that majority of citizenship which believes
in advancement and has supreme faith in the aug
menting greatness of St. Louis. He and the other
good-goveiuuieut otlieluls take the view that the
civic sentiment which lusplrcs municipal betterment
in this city is approbation enough for the work per
formed. Under a iKipular form of government the public
Is a ruliug factor. The citizens elect their officials.
If the administrative policy corresponds with their
ideas, they aid the officials witli moral encourage
ment and Uuancial backing. The Interests of the
municipality cannot be separated from those of the
public: and the confidence which the public has re
posed iu the Wells administration Is au expression
of satisfaction over a policy which makes municipal
aud public Interests Identical.
The general ratiilcatiou of this policy Is mani
fested by the universal local demand for civic bet
terment. There are few cities where the citizens,
trusting lu their officials' prudence and Integrity,
petition for public improvements, as-, they have done
In St. Louis for three years. In these circumstances
it is proper to question the motives of a partisan
newspaper which endeavors to sow the seed of te
trogresslon and cultivate a reappearance of gr.if t.
"The Republic." asserts the Globe, "says the rev
enue of the city has grown during the past three
years. So have the expenditures, and in a greater
degree. If not, why is the rate of taxation higher
than It was?"
The rate of. taxation In 1U0O was $1.03 on thu
$100 valuation; iu 1903 it was $J.13. There are two
reasous for the Increase of 'M cents on the $100
valuation not ISi cents, as the Globe Mates. An
Increase otlO cents was made necessary to meet
the sinking fund and interest obligatious of the ?5,
000,000 World's Fair bond Issue. The other 10 cents
goes to the School Hoard, also with the consent of
the voters.
If the voters had not sanctioned the World's Fair
bond Issue and if they had"not authorized an in
crease In the School Hoard's revenue, the rate of
taxation would have remained the same: thar Is,
$1.05 on the $100 valuation.
If the voters had not also provided the Library
Hoard with an Increase iu revenue, based on an ad
vance from '2 cents to -1 cents on the $100 valuation,
the. rate would have been lower than ir was in 1900.
for the State had decreased Its percentage from :S
cents to IS cents on the $100 valuation. H will be
remembered that the Glolie criticised the State for
making this decrease. As for the Library Board's
increased revenue. It was made in order to meet the
conditions Of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's gift for a new
library building.
Thus the increases to which the Globe refers
have added not a dollar to general revenue, the pro
ceeds being devoted to the particular purposes for
which they were voted. The Public Library main
tenance actually decreases the general revenue by
$150,000 a year.
Wicn the rate was $1.03. under the last Republic
an regime, there was a deficit of $121,000 in mu
nicipal revenue. When that regime turned over the
books to Comptroller Player, It claimed a balance of
$iS,MC05. But the balance was only a myth, for
there were outstanding obligations which aggregat
ed $l.r0.7TS.S3. Contrast that deficit of $120,000 with
the results of the Wells administration. At the enu
of its first year the Wells administration had wiped
out the deficit and created a balauee of $S05.333.yy;
at the end of the second year it had accumulated a
lialanee of $;173,T31).03. and at the end of 1003-4 has
brought the Kilauce up to $t70.2!iV0o". At no time
in the past had there been a balance larger thau
$303,000.
Nothing need be said here about the Improve
ments which have Iieeu made, or about the able
management of various departments, or abour the
larger collections effected by attention to duty. The
official records iu the Comptroller's oilice. relating to
municipal tlnancvs only, are sufficient to disprove
the Globe's allegations ami to confirm the citizens
in their confidence iu tho Wells administration and
in their desire for municipal betterment.
.
SPAIN NOT SO SLOW.
The. story-book and the romantic play presume
that Spain's glory set' with the pacing of chivalry.
Judgment of one people by another is generally
short of justice. The judge may bo incompetent to
fender a fair verdict because unable to understand
conditions that, from another view, are- neither
strange nor inconsistent.
Like most other countries, Spain has characteris
tics which strike the observer as peculiar. And it
Is- likely that there are as much sunshine, courtesy,
happiness, ingress and coutenr in the fair south
ern, land as there wvre centuries ago. or. relatively,
as there are In other modern countries. The rule
1.., .iy, vA
v-hlch applies iu Impt
lllus
t thing m.i
by less Mgnlllcnut circumstances.
The Mippohcd tiulhril'tliiess of Spain is negitived
by sanitary conditions which exist' in the town of
.hres de laFrojitera. Kvery house In Fronteta lias
been connected with the main sanitary m-woik for
lirteeii years. Its siieels ate cleaned three times
daily iu the Mitumer and twice daily in the winter.
Sewage proper is emptied into the Guadaleto
Rixer. .Much of the garbage waste is sold to sugar
refineries for us,. Jh tVriilb.inj,' sugiir-licci latins.
The stteet MWi-eplugo ate mllceled outside the town
limits, and useful waste is separated and shipped
to Seville, where it is .sold. Nut bud airaiigeiiients
for n town iu a eountiy which is deemed nonpro
giexsive. And yet it i.s said that the I'ronteia Hoard of
Health "sometimes" lepotts to the City Council anil
that "eioinetlines" the n-poit is published. An
American in Fronteta might wonder why the re
port is not made regulatly and published tegularly;
wlille a Fronteran lu certain American cities might
wonder why the reports nre m specific and so regu
larly published, though the results of the sanitary
woik may not be apparent.
If Fitiuteni protects the health of its people with
adequate sewage and cleanliness, the board's statis
tics are not absolutely essential: for. after all, it Is
not the statistics which directly prevent disease;
Hie statistics are merely records. It is unusual to
hae the le.Milts and not the statistics. Frontera's
example may not be so bail. Front era should have
been brought to the St. Louis World's Fair and
put In the municipal exhibit, as a real city which
does more than If tells.

Cheer up, writers! To Joseph Conrad, author of

RECENT COMMENT.
Japaneae- aa Students of Rockefeller.
Booklovers' Magazine.
"Just as we have had toretrat before the Russian
adancc." said a representative ot one of the largest
American establishments In the Orient, "so our branch
offices are slowly but surely belns forced out by the
Japanese, aided, we fear, by favoritism In hish places.
As ls known by all shippers, we hae to depend largely
on Japanese vessels, both In Importing from America
und In consigning cargoes home, as there are com
paratively few American ships In commission on the
Pacific. We have in Japan somo Japanese firms com
peting with us. We arc convinced, although we cannot
prove It. that these establishments obtain rebates from
the Japanese lines for nil goods shirped both ways.
Inasmuch ns tie make our money l:i commissions, we
cannot successfully compete lth firms enjoying prefer
ential rates with steamship lines. Of course, we have
no way of proving this", nor could we remedy the situa
tion If we could find out the facts. It ls true, however,
that we have hud to abandon somo lines of trade.
Nearly every American and other foreign shipper will
tell you that the business methods of Ute people of
this Umpire, give- abundant evidence that the whole
scheme of operations Is on the principle. 'Japan for the
Japanese." The only sveret of our ability to remain In
business at all In Japanese ports ls that these people
have not yet, for the most part, learned the value of
Integrity as a business asset. With a few notable excep
tions. Japanese houses cannot do a direct business with
American firms. The average Japanese merchant con
siders It reputable cunning to give short weight or
scant measure. The first one or two orders will be
faithfully filled, and when tho confiding customer gives
a big list of commodities desired, he Is ineontinently
victimiicd. Sucli practices, as any shipper will tell you.
hae six en to the Japanese a Quetionablo commercial
reputation In all tlu markets of the world."

. Food Values.
Harper s Baiar.
Many articles that are eaten have no value as true
foods, because they do not build up the body or supply
force. These are known as food accessories. Among the
chief food accessories are tea. coffee, cocoa, beef tea
and broth of xirlous kinds, together with spirits and
spices and all the garnishments of the table that hare
to do with the esthetics of eating. Food accessories mav
spare the tissues. That Is all they can do. though it
is much. No single one of them can repair waste, botld
up or renew the broken-down cells of the body, nor aid
directly in the maintenance of its structure. Neither
can any of these furnish heat and energy. Yet they
ure Important elements In rood, even essential articles
of diet, that belong to the valuable class or non
nutritious food materials. They are all stimulants, not
foods. Tea. coffee and cocoa furnish agreeable hot
drinks that have the rower to diminish the sense of
fatigue. The irritating effects of tea. when they do
exist, nre least when the stomach Ls netther quite
empty nor too full, conditions happily present at the
time of afternoon tea.
The true nature and value of stimulants are every day
becoming better known. They are neither as good nor
as bad as sometimes supposed. When sufficiently ener
getic, like some form of alcohol or spirits, a stimulant
may temporarily excite the brain, cause an acceleration
of the heart's action, bring about a definite sensation of
muscular vigor, or some general sfnse of expansion and
power. Such action, may permit the evolution of energy
but never furnishes it.
Expensive Information.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Popcorn pops by reason of the volatixation by heat of
the oil contained in the kernel. Field corn does not pop
because the outer portion of the kernel is more porous,
permitting the escape of the oil as It volatilises, while
in the C3s of popcorn a great pressure is developed In
the kernel by the confined oil. and the kernel Is suddenly
exploded and turned wrong side oct. We are indebted
for this information to the Department of Agriculture
of the United States, but the same story might have
been got out of a cyclopedia, or a dictionary, and it
wonld have cost less.

POEMS WORTH KNOWING.
AS A BEAM O'ER THE FACE OF THE WATERS.
BT THOMAS MOORE.
S a beam o'er the face of the waters may
the tide runs in darkness and
coldness below.
So the cheek may be tinged with a warm
sunny smile.
Though the cold heart to rule runs dark
ly the while.
One fatal remembrance, one sorrow that
throws
Its bleak shade alike o'er our joys and
our-woes.
To which life nothing darker or brighter
can bring.
For which joy has co balm and affliction
no sting
Oh! this thought in the midst of enjoy.
meat will stay.
Like a dead, leafless branch in the sum
mer's bright ray;
The beams of the warm sun play round
it in vain.
It may smile in his light, but it biooss
not again.
