WAR On NUDE PICTURES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The police
authorities have. declared wa on al
legged suggestive pictures that does
not stop at offensive bill posters and
the nude in bill board art, but which
stikes at every art store IN the city.
The crusade may be successful as To
the cigarette advertisements, the
theatrical display and like pictorial
achievements, but the order of the
chief of police issued to-day is prac-
tically unlimited. 1t instructs the
arrest of any person selling or x
mbiting a picture showing a nude
figure, and carried to its logical ex-
tent, would close the Corcoran art
gallery and the doors of every art

The St. Louis Republic, referring
to the State University, says: Much
harm can be done to the State Uni.
versity and very little good to any
body by magnifying incidents Of
college life into faults of administra'
ton.
DR.. Jesse has apparently infused
some of his own vigor into the con.
duct of the institution. 1t is a fact
that he has won the regard of Mis-.
souri, citizens by his manner ,charac'
ter and educational skill.
Either the University is in good
hands or it is not. If it is,the peo'
pie of the State should cordially en-
courage with good feelings the labors
OF the men in charge. Ii j, is not,
something more important than
petty circumstances which exist in
every college town should be brought
forward.
Our State University will retrogade
fast if it is to become a nursery oil

THE II SIDE.
An Official Denial that Armenians are
Badly Treated.

WASHINGTON, Jan. An official
telegram has been received at the
Turkish Legation in this city, dated
at Constantinople. Certain news
papers have maintained lately that
the number of Armenians in Turkey
reaches many millions, and tina!
they are badly treated. Both as
sertions are absolutely false. Ac'
cording to the most reliable stats
tics the Armenians living in Turkey
are a little over 90O, 900, of whom
200, 900 are established in Constan-
tinople itself.
Those of the Armenians who re.
side in the provinces are distributed
all over the country, so that no.
where do they constitute the MAORI.
of the population. The fact, &C
knowledged even by Turkeys de-
tractors, that the Ottoman Armen'
ians have schools and a literature,
not only proves that they are not ex'
posed to vexatious treatment, but
that, on the contrary, the Turkish
Government favors their institutions
and wishes them to preserve theil
language and nationality and haG
secured their well being.

SECRETARY Morton, of the Ag-
ricultural Department. ut Washing
ton, believes that the free distribu.
ton of seeds by the Government
should be stopped, but as the GUS
tom is to continue during the com.
ing season he thinks that such seeds
as are sent out gratis should be
given to those farmers il the Western
States who have recently suffered
from drought. This may not be a
pleasing arrangement to the Eastern
Congressman who have been able
to maintain a cheap popularity
among the agriculturists of their
home districts by a judicious distri-
button of seed packages in the past,
but it will certainly commend itself
to the general public.

ONE OF the chief improvements
needed in Missouri is that of our
roads. All of the country roads
throughout the state could be vastly
improved with a small outlay of
money if our road overseers would
work together. The new governor
of New York referring to the ne.
cessity Of good roads'in his message,
said; The subject of good roads is
one which merits thoughtful atten-
ton at your hands. for it is every year
becoming of larger Importance in the
public eye. Nearly all of the various
State Legislatures which will be in
session during this year will be en-
gagged in efforts to secure practical
results, in the direction of selecting
approved methods, though on a va.
riety of lines or theories. The infor.
nation obtained by the Office Of
Road Inquiry, a bureau of the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture, and
which has had correspondence on
the subject with all of the State gov
ernments, is that wide divergence oil
opinion exists on the wEcic cues
ton, and it is feared that it may, in
consequence, be difficult to secure
sound practical results.
Not less than half a dozen plans
are in effect or contemplation, a fac
that is undoubtedly regrettable, ano
it would seem desirable that the En-
pire State should, with its charac
teristic progressiveness, be a leader
in the establishment of an acceptable
system of road improvement, exten
sion and maintenance. The advo.
Gates OF road improvement in sever
al states are urging the establish
ment of a temporary joint commits
sion, by the respective Legislatures
such commission to include, besides
members of both legislative houses
representatives. OF road improvement
organizations. If this plan is adopt
ed by a number of the State Legis
latures the Federal Office of Roat
Inquiry proposes to act as a medium
of communication between them, al
we'll as a source of information.
think that the Legislature might
by a committee put itself int
communication with the Nationa
and State authorities on the subjec
and acquire all available information
as to plans and experiments, with
view to obtaining good roads, con
structed on wise and economical
principles.

Preliminary CANVASS OF the H0ase
shows I24 for the Measure.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., January 8.
"A rough preliminary canvass of
the House on the pending currency
bill has been made. One of the
Democratic members Of the conn
mittee, who ia favorable to the bill,
is authority for the statement that
the canvass shows a..total of 124
votes for the bill, considerable short
Of tho number necessary to pass it.
Congressman Springer says that
such canvasses as have been made
are informal and inexaet. He will
give no figures as he says the pur-
pose has not been to learn who will
vote for the bill, but who are against
it in order that objections may be
met and if possible overcome them.
Other members interested in the
management of the bill profess to
know nothing of an exact canvass.
1t is undoubtedly true, however,
that a pretty close count has been
made with the result stated. There
are SO many propositions, substi-
tutes and amendments pending that
it is probable any canvass would
fail to show the vote under the
many varying circumstances which
may be presented. The wide mar
gin for difference of a canvass is in
dicated by the estimate of a mem
Der based on a canvass by State
delegations that the bill would pass
by a majority of twenty. 1t is also
pointed out that the vote Of 124,
while short Of a majority when the
full membership of the House is
present, is a reasonably strong vote
when any members are absent.
