Two subjects commanding attention at
Kansas City are trusts and the use of
money in political affairs. The man who
profits through monopoly. and the man who
assists in cOrrupting the suffrage by enor-
nous subscriptions to campaign funds,
are alike subjects of excoriation. And vet
what do see?
The New York member of the platform
committee is Judge Van Wyck, a member
of the New York ice trust. and brother of
man whose dismissal from office for par
ticipating in the same Il ust is demanded by
many New York democrats. The matter is
a national scandal. But this does not re-
strain Judge Van Wyck from indulgfng in
this antitrust crusade nor from helping to
frame a party deliverance. intended to
arouse for party purposes the Indignation

No Withdrawal.

Some people are inclined to urge that the
mowers having become satisfied that moth
ing they can do will save the foreigners at
Pekin from death. should now withdraw
from China entirely and thus avoid further
losses They declare that China has the
right to protect her own territory from in
yasion and to live conservative life if she
choose to do -. They assert that the cost
of Furnishing China and reforming her will
be too heavy to pay for the advantages
gained thereby. Therefore withdraw, they
cry, let the celestials live their own way.
while the world beyond progresses in peace.
The first duty of the civilized nations Is
to punish those guilty of the Pekin horrors.
In such a case this to refrain from as
sorting the dignity of our nationality by
visiting the murderers with a just VEN
geance would be to disgrace ourselves for
ever. to write ourselves down as poltroons-
The practical step to be taken is to press
to Pekin with a sufficient force, whether
fifty one hundred or five hundred thousand
soldiers of all armies be necessary to depose
the governmental agents responsible for the
riots and for the attendant outrages, and.
Necessarily. to set up In their stead a new
government. capable of decent administra-
ton and willing to observe the rules of
world relationship. From this step of pun
lSHlIltDl- from WHICH no Stll-TeSpeCilUS nd
ton has the slightest inclination to shrink,
will develop the broader results of internal
tional enterprise.
The doctrine of withdrawal is now I'M
tenable- The world demands that there be
no corner left Closed to progress and to
trade.
China cannot remain barred TO the civ
ilizei states and work out her own saliva
ton The spirit of regeneration must come
to her from without. Her thousands of
years of philosophy and semi-culture have
brought her to a point of deplorable weak
ness. from which she is incapable of rising
Unaided-
Withdrawal would leave a vast area of
the world benighted murderously defiant of
the civilized powers. confident of its ability
to drive away all intruders. There could.
Of course. be no further communca ton
with such a government. and the genius of
the twentieth century would be condemned
to the humiliating spectacle of cowardly
failure in the face of great opportunity

A Modern Need.


1 want new thermometer, built in a diff
ferent way;
An instrument that's adequate to measure
our dismay
When there's not a breath a-stirrng and
the air begins to bake
And the waters hot enough to boil the
fishes in the lake;
When the sun is like a searchlight and
projects its rays of heat
Without discrimination the woodland
and the street;
When everythings a-sizzle and the steam
ing world is sad.
I want new thermometer and want it
very bad.
want a new thermometer, in height at
least mile;
1t ought to be constructed on the Tower Of
Babel style
With all the hurrying workmen as they
delve and hack and hew,
Enchanting in all languages, 'Is't hot
enough for you?'
'Twould be a satisfaction to behold its
metal rise,
A shaft of liquid silver that would splash
against the skies.
These toy contrivances you buy-they near
ly drive one mad!
l want new thermometer and want 1t

Those who ride much in the street cars
have no doubt often noticed that some con-
ductors have habit, when giving exchange
tickets or passes, of wetting their fingers
with saliva and then tearing off the tickets
and handing them more or less wet to the
passengers. They also frequently hold bills
between the teeth. Aside from being I'M
esthetic the custom is Objectionable from
a sanitary point of view. We have known
one conductor who had tuberculous ulcer
of the tongue; and 1t Is. of course, con-
ceivable that among the large number of
men employed on the cars, there are some
who are affected with other specific dis
eases that cause LESSONS in the mouth. 1t
would be a simple matter for the COM
panies to promugate orders instructing
their conductors to abandon the practice.

From the Pittsblrg Dispatch.

An incident in connection with the Oregon
affair is worthy of more than casual atten-
ton. That is the neighborly good offices of
Japan. The government of that country not
only ordered a naval vessel to go to the as
sistance of the Oregon, but has offered the
use of either of two government docks in
which to make the necessary repairs. This
kindly interest must be appreciated as an
evidence of the cordial sentiment Of our
nearest neighbors on the Pacific. 1t is
not more than we might do for Japan. but
it is all we could desire, even though the
Oregon is to be locked in a commercial dry
dock at Nagasak
