GRADE CnOSSIXGS.
Jt 1b cncouraglnR to hear from Mr. W. E. Mc
Cully, chairman of the Missouri Railroad and Wre
honse Commission, that there are at least three
trunk lines which are In favor of eliminating the
dangerous grade crossing'throughout the State. But
if is not satisfying to hear that there are other
roads Which oppose the plans for public safety. As
there were 135 deaths in Missouri Iast year from
,grade-cro68ins accidents, it Is'-'najwral to believe
that every company would rereeive the necessity for
Improvements.
. Mr. McCully says that the commission's efforts to
correct evils of grade crossings should result In the
enactment of an efficient statute. But it should
said that the State and the cities ought not to be
compelled to bear all the expense of the improve
ments. In this respect the State is in p better posi
tion than the cities are; but the financial interests
of, the cities must-be kepi in mind andadvanced.
Street Commissioner Varrelmann says, for in
stance, that grade crossings ia St. Louis can be
eliminated at a cost of about f2,0po,000. But why
should the city stand all the cost? While it Is true
that the removal of .grade crossings is for public
safety, it is also true that gradecrossings would not
exist if the railroad companies were iiot enjoying
special benefits from the public The companies
should share in the cost. At any rate, the grade
crossing must be eliminated.
..
TO MAKE A NOISE ABOUT ROOSEVELT.
This is sudden. "Boost Roosevelt make a noise
about national politics!". Is all at once the word
passed around by the unholy alliance to its orators
and editors. Henceforward, It is announced, there
will be more of Roosevelt and less of Walbridge
fu the pseudo-political fight against Folk.
It means an attempt to give the fight on Folk
the color of a Roosevelt campaign.
Heretofore the guerrilla warfare waged by the
Tolk fighters has fallen far below the dignity of a
campaign; it has been but a desultory battle of il
legitimate "business" Interests and political heelers
directed from all quarters against -the enemy of
bribery. The Folk fighters have used the so-called
"Republican"" organization but abused the party
name; while, as for Mr. Roosevelt, scarce a mention
of him baa been made. They have had no more
to say about Mr. Roosevelt than his visiting repre
sentatives. Senator Fairbanks and Secretary Shaw,
had to say about Mr. Walbridge. Probably the
President congratulated himself on that fact.
In'Ioading their guns with "Roosevelt" the Folk
fighters will not deceive anybody. They are aiming
not at the opposition to Roosevelt, but at the enemy
of bribe rule. They will be shooting at the man
who wrote Mr. Roosevelt's boodle message at Mr.
Roosevelt's request. They will not fight Mr. Roosevelt's-battles
with his name but the battles of the
boodlers and bribers and vampire bosses who make
np the hated aystem of corruption.
Mr. Roosevelt will not gire voluntary sanction
to the business it Is but fair to give him the bene
fit of the presumption. He ia understood to have
formerly expressed himself In vigorous terms con
cerning the Folk-fighting aggregation and its per
aicious enterprise; and In the absence of any far
ther atateraents from "him It la only reasonable and
decent to assume that he has not changed his mind.
Making a big noise about Roosevelt Is of course
a part of the game of pie-politics 'and shows that
the appetite for Federal patrosage does sot abate
under any circumstances. The job-iracksters nat
urally bare an eye "on the furore. Bat patronage
is Jest aa Incident now, and the noise about Roose
reR to a more Important part of the bigger game.
"tbVBeat-Folk-or-Bost game of the WalbrMge-Bat-
terJModle system.
'7.Figbtlng Folk has been a desperate undertaking.
and the tacking of Mr. Roosevelt's Basse thereto
reveato a farther phaae of Its diabolical aatwe. The
.announcement of the politicians that It will be made
a Roosevelt campaign from now on has several
reasonable portents.
It is equivalent to an acknowledgment that the
open fight on Folk has failed and bespeaks an in
tention to work henceforth under cover. Should the
bushwhackers cease their rattling fire of calumny
and slander and disappear from the face of the
situation simultaneously with the outbreaks of the
Roosevelt boosters. It would be time to look out
for explosions. When the boodle politicians ceae
working above ground they will be working under
ground and laying secret mines. With the atten
tion of voters drawn to Roosevelt and national poli
tics, mule oiieratlons and criminal engineering will
Ik the easier. The announcement that the tight
on Folk Is to be turned into a Roosevelt campaign is
certainly calculated to pur voters on their guard.
It is likely to anger tiie average Republican of
the rank and file. The welding of the Proident's
uaiue Into a Rooevelt-Wnlbridge-Itutier-Itoodle laliel
by the unholy alliance will raiiM eotne reputable
Republicans to scratch off the latter three links with
a vengeance when it eomo to oting for national
and local tickets. Others with contrary opinions as
to Mr. Roosevelt's altitude will be moved to .scratch
Mr. Roosevelt's uaiac along with the rest of the
machine label.
A DISGRACEFIX ACT.
Such boldness as the House of Delegates dis
played in choking the garbage-reduction bill to death
is au insult to public opinion for which there
Is no sufficient explanation. Jn the House there is
a combine of so-called legislators, of alleged repre
sentatives of honest, taxpaying constituents, which
defies the expressed desires and appeals of the ad
ministration and of the whole community: which
slavishly obeys the Interests of a system which
has been instrumental, for year. In corrupting the
public service. As if the business and jHilltical af
fairs of contractors and disreputable ward-padrones
were paramount -to the common and the municipal
good, this aggregation killed this reform measure
without scruple or fear.
In killing tb! hill the combine broke the organie
law of the city, opposed the administration ami
affronted the people of 8U Louis. Are the mem
bers who have so acted willing to lie classed as
serfs of the pernicious power wielded by expert
dcspoilers of official character and pillagers of public
funds?
The bill to dead; it cannot he brought up again.
The obstructive Delegates apparently enjoy their
discomfiting work. The administration i forced to
devise other plans to meet the refiuireniciiU of
householders, and, above all, to put an end to the
influence of a monopolistic concern. And the ieop!c
are silent but angry.
This public silence will not last long. The feel
ing against the House for this action will be signi
fied in some vigorous manner. The Delegates who
are responsible must be taught the lesson of resjtcct
for the people. If the House, as at present consti
tuted, will not respect public opinion, public opin
ion can create a House .which will do o.
The people of eiery ward must make the per
sonal record of their Delegate a personal matter;
the people must convince every recalcitrant
legislator that he is not nt liberty to act contrary
to public interests, it is now the time to organ
ize civic associations in the wards for the special
purpose of shaming every Delegate, who. though
elected by the people to serve the municipality, im
plies by his acts either that he is incapable of doing
this, or that he cannot distinguish betwepn the pub
lic welfare and private advantage, or that he Licks
in civic virtue.
There Is no doubt that. In killing'thc bill, the gang
did not help the city, whatever tb'e motives may
have leen. The gang did not help the city, or ad
here to approved standards of legislative process,
in violating the Charter by holding this bill longer
than the permissible tlme.of nonaction. The gang
did not belp the clty.,in killing a bill which con
templated a garbage-redaction system which would
not only result In Improved service but in releasing
the cltytfrom a monopoly. The gang did not, as far
as any conscientious citizen can see, promote public
or municipal Interests.
It devolves upon the people of St. Louis, and
especially upon civic organizations, to pick out the
offenders in the House and to exploit their offenses.
Insolent defiance of populardniands and disregard
of beneficial plans cannot be tolerated. The public
can make these Delegates suffer, and It should make
them suffer. Otherwise the gang in the House will
continue to do not as the public pleases but as It
or Its master pleases.
TENSIONS FOR POLITICAL TULL."
That Mr.RooscvcIt's rauiting ambitions have led
him to violate the Constitution is nowhere better re
vealed than by a consideration of bis pensions or
der, which gave pensions to Union veterans alwre
the age of ti!, without reference to actual dis
abilities. There were about 182,000 survivors of the war
who were not on the pension rolls prior to Mr.
Roosevelt's beneficent decree. If all these were to
be placed en the rolls, the result would lie nlxiut
$15,000,000 per annum. If the chosen representa
tives of the United States In Congress had desired
to donate that sum or any other sum to the pen
sioners that was their right. It was not Mr. Roose
velt's right. In arrogating to himself the functions
of the legislative branch of government In this in
stance, lie has deliberately disregarded article 1,
section 0 of the Constitution, which reads: "No
money shall be drawn from the Treasury but In
consequence of appropriations made by law."
Mr. Roosevelt virtually created by his pension
order a new class of pensioners, whom Congress had
not pensioned. Mr. Roosevelt's order practically
gives a pension for age to every veteran of CJ
years; whereas Congress intended by Its law, under
which Mr. Roosevelt professes to act, to pension
every man who by reason of being disabled in war
was unable to cam support by manual labor. Mr.
Roosevelt's order presumes that men of G2 are dis
abled.
The Constitution Club of New York, composed of
such eminent jurists as James C Carter, Wheeler
H. Peckbam. William Hornblower, Francis Stetson,
John G. Carlisle, and others equally distinguished in
their profession, considers the Roosevelt pension or
der from a technical and constitutional standpoint
and after a lengthy and detailed examination finds
It to be unconstitutional, lawless and reprehensible.
"Comrress,, saya the report of the club, "did not
authorise the appropriation of pensions because sol
diers of the Civil War were aged 62; and the honor
ing of pension certificates, obtained on that score,
by President Roosevelfa Secretary of the Treasury,
to an illegal license by which that official permits
the money of the nation to be abstracted."
It to a fan: Inference that the action of Presi
dent Roosevelt in the pension order, three months
before his nomination, was a bid for the pension
rote. If Judge Parker should to-day announce that
his Pension Commissioner, when appointed, would
gire a certificate to anybody who was 00 years old.
and that bis Secretary of the Treasury would honor
the certificate, the reception of such a pronuncia
mmto by the people of the country nay be well
ly the order of March last( Indeed, the President's
act is far more serious, because he has, without
warrant of law, and seizing the opportunity of of
fice, in effect appropriated the nation's mouey for
his own campaign fund.
In Mr. Roosevelt's letter ot.acceptancc he offers
nothing better In defense of his action than praise
of ilit soldiers. Unquestionably, as all men admit,
the soldiers fought bravely as did their opponents
hut how can the bravery of any class of men excuse
a violation of the Constitution of the United States?
May Mr. Roosevelt properly use the nation's money
to establish a fund for heroes, after the manner of a
Carnegie?
Can any sane construction of Mr. Roosevelt's
act. committed in the heat of his race for the nomi
nation, attribute it to any other than the personal,
political motive?
Mr. Walbridge Is probably innocent of any at
tempt to break the law or defy the spirit of civic
morals in the contracts for supplies made by Ills
dnis house when he was in office. Rut, at best and
admitting the weak defenses made by his sponsors.
Isn't it "another example of his "easiness" toward
taw breaker? Thee namby-pamby "goml" citizens
are one of the evils of the ace. Missouri is not
yearning for a Governor of that stamp. The
Itoodlcrs and grafters ye.irn for just that kind.
'-
It has not escaped observation that Ed Butler's
alli-geil contributions to Democratic funds have bn
elalmrjitely exploited and explained in Walbridge
organs liefore the recipients or anvliody eke Knew
about the staj- money. The Colonel and his cam
paign partner, tried a smart game, but they also
gave It away.
-.
The Star and Globe explain Mr. Walhridge's city
supply .contracts by sajlng tint he did not know any
better. How much would he know of law breaking If
he were Governor? Walbridge lost a lot of horses
for the city by not locking the stable doors when
h was In office.
--
The St. Louis Republican clique cannot even
make a good bluff. In order, for example, to make
a sensation of election affairs in St. Iiuis. it has to
fend emissaries throughout the State to coux Its
Iieiichmen to come here to a mass meeting "for pro
test." M
If Justice Brewer remarked at the World's Fair
that he saw acre of Philippine display but not a
square mil of constitution, lie hit off in a phrase
the colonial question. The Supreme Court has other
great merits lK-Ide Its decisions.
How considerate Is the Globe toward Its St. Louis
County partisans, under whose administration rank
conditions prevail. But even ranknes is virtue, in
the Globe's opinion, when the Globe's partUans arc
concerned.

with Sulltvan'9 "Patience" as the work

RV HAMLIN GARLAND.
HE packs are on. the cinches tight.
The patient horses wait;
Upon the grass the frost lies white.
The dawn la gray and late.
The leader's cry rings sharp and clear."

Before us lies a shallow mere.
