PRACTICAL LAWS.
Superfluous and conflicting laws never will be
eliminated, nor will all nonessential features be ex
tracted from necessary laws. Many provisions whicb
; are superfluous in ordinary conditions bear- upon
contingencies and therefore are prospectively essen
tial. No law can be practically perfect or Jnvaria

Jt would be absurd to suppose that a comprehen
sive revision of statutes and ordinances would have
i tie effect of disposing of all objectionable features
and producing an altogether satisfactory code. Cus

and social life make amendments compulsory from
time to time; and lawmaking goes on forever.
But there are, as every citizen knows, many laws
which do not conform to existing conditions, prevail-'

majority. There are laws which sworn officials are

5 RUSSIA'S PREDICAMENT.
!"-,Brttish Journals now admit that public opinion in
''Russia has followed a different course from what
they"' predicted -wlien the war with Japan was be

would prefer to keep the Empire physlcallylntact, if
possible, and be part of a great country. The mani
festation of patriotism in Russia Is a natural conse
quence, which might have ecn anticipated with
some certainty.
The dissatUfled elements in Russia are confldent
of realizing the reforms which they advocate. How
soever the war ends their cause will be stronger.
Furthermore, they are helped by the pressure of pop
ular sentiment In other European countries. Russia
is confronted vt ith a fcrave predicament within. The
crisis will not be long delayed after the close of the
war. The Government will be compelled to grant
at least the chief refoims demanded. The war.
whether it ends in victory or defeat, will leave the
Government in such a state that the reforms cannot
be denied.

REGARDING ROOSEVELT ASKANCE.
The changed attitude of the American public to
ward Mr. Theodore Roosevelt Is the most patent fact
in tho present political season. Were the fact not
already plain beyond the necessity of proof, any man
in fifteen minutes might substantiate It for himself
by asking questions on the streets. There w ere plen
ty of Roosevelt enthusiasts when ho stepped into the
Presidency. Then grief for McKinley reacted to some
extent In the form of a conskleiable sentiment for
the new President. The neiage man participated
in it and the sentiment was laudable. Now it has
died out of the public altogether, and a questioner
in a crowd will hae to canvass for some time to
find a genuine pro-Roosevelt expression. He will
hear a volume of adverse criticism.
The explanation of the changed mind toward
Mr. Roosevelt Is simple. The wise skepticism of a
practical people came to their rescue. Mr. Roose
velt's fictitious self lost Its attractiveness and his
magnified propensity for display naturally raised an
interrogation as to the reality. The American gaze
penetrated his heroic guise, his Imposing aspect as
the moral censor and bis superficial and strenuous
statesmanship, to perceive the inner ambition, nar
row egotism and blind impetuosity of the teal Mr.
Roosevelt.
Not the least of the actual qualities discovered
to closer scrutiny was his want of seeing sympathy
with the people's motives, witli national puiposes,
with the spirit of American life. Mr. Roosevelt is
seen not to be imbued with the traditions which are
a part of United States experience. There is in the
Roosevelt miud obvlously-no linking with the past
in American history, no deep respect for institutions
which have required generations of statesman ly
guidance in the upbuilding and in which are bound
up tho true motives of this country and which point
the only true course for Its future.
Mr. Roosevelt Is not touched with the bioad pur
pose of American development. He lacks the sw eep
Ing comprehension which can regard the future as
having Its foundation in the history which lias been
left behind. He would disregard the beatings for
the nation's course established by past experience.
He would swerve the United States from their way
and swing them into an "imperialistic'' career. Mr.
Roosevelt is an experimenter and be bids the coun
try follow him in a career of experimentation. The
public mind declines the invitation.
To this mind the Roosevelt personality fairly
bulges with dangers. He revels In the thought of
war. No man has ever heard from the Roosevelt
Ups the exclamation that "war Is h -V To b'ni
war looms as glorious opportunity for the exploita
tion of personal valor and he constantly preaches
knight-errantry to the American soldiery. He frank
ly despises the soldier who does not love war for its
own sake and laments the fact that "there was not
enough of the Spanish War to go around." Mr.
Roosevelt writes books on war. He thunders w ar In
his presidential messages. War-loving and head
strong, impulsive arti impatient of remonstrance,
Mr. Roosevelt as the Commander in Chief of the
Army and Navy incarnates a menace, which coul
not but affect the minds of a civilized and Christian
people which hate war and hold peace and Its nor
mal accompaniments above mere military aggran1
dizement and foreign conquest.
Mr. Roosevelt has given the people abnndant
cause to consider the heavy responsibilities of the
presidential oflicfr the most important in the world,
demanding of Its occupant the highest ability, the
broadest experience.in the world's affairs and a fine
discretion. Mr. Roosevelt has demonstrated the ne
cessity for a man of trained wisdom, sober opinions
and discriminating conscience to balance the execu
tive action.

"" WHAT'S THE MATTER?
A. few days ago Old Ananias took exception to
The Republics comment upon the Supreme Court's
imperialistic decision depriving the Filipinos of the
right of trial by Jury. Old Ananias's reply took the
form of roasting St. Louis. Old Ananias set forth
a half-column of distortions and animadversions cal
culated to inspire the -visitor who might come across
it with a deepMisgust for all things, people and In
stitutions St. Louisan.
Again on Tuesday Old Ananias replied to The Re
public. The Republic had deplored the fact that St.
Louis had within it an organ of the caliber of Old
Ananias which Indefati&ably and remorselessly dis
seminated abuse of the city and State. Old .Ananias
by way of proving The Republic's case, vented an
other one of its series of libelous fulminatlons upon
the entire scheme of things St. Louisan.
The difference between corrective comment and
mere exudations of poisonous slander designed to
sicken the World's Pair visitor tilth the city Is as
vast as the difference between the whitest truth and
the blackest lie. It is the difference between intelli
gence and indecency. It is the difference between
Journalism and the corruption thereof practiced by
Old Ananias. It Is the difference bet een .construct
ive effort and destructive effort.
A newspaper may do great good or great dnmngo
to the city in which it is published. If it is touched
with the broad purpose of the city's development, if
It Is animated by sympathy with the city's life and
moves in accord vt Ith the people for their best ends,
It Is an Inestimable beneficial stimulus and power.
'The slender disseminator of the Old Ananias stripe
is at outs with its environments., at cross -purposes
with the people, and its sole influence is to retard
and repeL It clogs inner development jind warns
the outsider away. Its effect Is" toT embarrass the
city's interests at home 'and discredit them abroad.
It lauds Zlegenheinism and rails at the clean,
efficient amlprogressive World's Fair administration
led bjV Mayor Wells. It heaps abusejupon Circuit
Attorney Folk and violently opposes boodle investi
gations in an attempt to shield its political gang. It
has no word of condemnation for.oonvicted Reputf
llcan boodlers. Old Ananias would have, boomed a
Kratz for Governor of Missouri had not the Circuit
Attorney tand the grand juries ignored its protest
that the boodle Investigations would cost the city $G0
a day. For the State of which St, Louis is'the met
ropolitan head the Old Ananias organ advertises
that f"ciqke-damp" Is ,3 curse upoff pur farming ln
terestsatnet tSat our farmers are selling their lands
and moving beyond burborders.4 It 'advertises that
the State treasury has-been. looted of, eleven mil
lions, it scons at the great political. principle msti-
and bids fair to dominate national politics. Old An
anias hoots at the Missouri Idea, and denounces the
people behind It as either Bourbons or knaves, and
diligently proclaims that State government is In the
hands of a puck of vandals.
"What Is the matter with Missouri?" Is It not,
the Ananias organ whose watchword, for a genera
tioa lias been "Poor Old Missouri"? '
-
The story goes that General Kuroki, who thus
far has seemed to lie a veritable Von Moltke In the
game of wnr,js not a full-blooded Jap, but Is the son
of a French officer and a Japanese girl who were
married In '5G. Whether true or not matters llttle,i
though Japan probably would like to claim all of
him for Its own. The time to war over his nativity
t ill be after lie is dead, like Homer. By that time,
if his fame continues, his nativity may even be di
vided Into seven parts, with seven nations claim-'
ing him. '
..
The Globe is busily and consistently knocking St
Louis and the State of Missouri. It Is almost time
for old .Ananias to fake up another financial bogie
somewhere. Perhaps old Ananias would find a real
financial discrepancy, amounting to even more than
eleven millions, if it had any means of knowing how
much trade it has driven away from St. Louis by
holding this city up as a dangerous place for decent
people to enter.

RECENT COMMENT.
Reasons for the Kaiser's Policy.
Leslie's Woekly.
Why should Germany be preparing for war with the
United States more than with any other nation? No ex
planation is forthcoming, but there are strong reasons
why the Kaiser should be powerful on both land and sea
in the interest of peace. To m mind Germany is the
principal peacemaker of Europe. Located as she is, she
forms a bulwark between the northern and southern na
tions which may have already prevented more than one
international conflict, for she presents a barrier to Rus
sian progress to the southwest and checks any ambition
of France and Italy to extend their demands northward.
If Germany were weak in naval and military strength
the present (Stability of the Powers might be greatly
affected, to say nothing of the possible dismemberment
and the downfall of the Empire. To maintain a powerful
fleet and army Is perhaps more essential to her than to
any other nation, and this fact the Kaiser appreciates.
This explains his energy In the creation of his navy
and his effort to increase the efflciehcy of his soldiers. I
think he can well be called the ablest of the Hohen
zollerns. Study his policy impartially, since his accession
to the throne, and you will see that ho has realized the
Importance of force on land and sea not to make war,
but to prevent it Some may call this militarism, but in
my opinion it is a movement in the interest of peace.
Making a Trade of Consumption.
American Medicine.
A professional consumptive, or mendicant, a church
and hospital "rounder," is up for trial 'n New York. It
seems that this fellow of many aliases has made a good
living for at least twelve years by appeals to the selfish
charity givers. He has "operated" upon at least twenty
church organizations and societies. To his virtues and
vices be has, of course, added larceny. From a woman
who had Just given him $20 he had the poor judgment to
steal $5 more, and now his victims are combining
against him. Ills scheme waa to join a church, attend its
meetings, and make acquaintances personally and
through the "year book," which generally gives the
names and addresses of contributing members. Soon he
had a stock in trade of reminiscences of meetings and
personal words to pass around from one person to an
other, telling that ho was sent by such and such a per
sonal friend. The troubla always wns that he had con
sumption and must go-ito a warmer climate. When one
church began to wake up to his plan he flitted to an
other. Only by the methods of investigation of the
charity organization societies, or better, through these
societies themselves, can society be ridded of these pests,
who are more numerous than is supposed.

In silent pride, their fate they bore; ., ,

Far off the purple banners flare, "
Beneath the golden morning spread.
I know what queen Is worshiped there, - -What
laurels wreathe her lovjly
head.
Her name be sacred In my thought,
1 And sacred be the grief she brought.

And rose and -violet ne'er can be
