1t is reported from Chicago that the Do
itical supporters of Admiral Dewey are
watching the receptions accorded him on
his present trip with great interest. Ma
than Strauss of New York. who for
long time trained with the Cleveland wor-
shippers. but seems now to have transferred
his affections to the admiral, Travelled ALI
the way to the windy city to note the
character and effect of the demonstration
there, and said afterward. in reply to a
question: las an old friend and admirer of
the admiral l was naturally interested in
seeing how he would be received by Chica-
goans. l must say 1 was pleased with the
cordial welcome given him and the enthu-
| siasm shown wherever he appeared
But will it be safe for these politicians to
enter all of this enthusiasm to Admiral
Dewey's political account? As The Star
| pointed out before the admiral started it
| is not possible to separate the cheering be-
| slowed upon the hero from that bestowed
| upon the candidate for the presidency Is
it not likely, however. that in the section
| where he now Is visiting the admiral is
stronger hero than candidate? 1t is
| his first appearance there since he became
4 hero, and naturally the people, who are
proud of his achievement at Manila are
testifying with warmth to their apprecia-
| ton of his wonderful victory. If he were
to extend his trip clear across the CONT
nent. and stop en- route at Mr.. Bryan's own
town of Lincoln, he would everywhere meet
| with evidences of admiration and good will
| Still. little as a trained politician should
| be misied on this score, it is altogether
\ likely that Admiral Dewey himself will be-
| He is the center of attraction. He Is filling
| at every place the center of the stage He
| has become little accustomed to the
| character Of hero, but a candidate he Is
\ new even TO himself. 1t is safe to saw
| too. that he is thinking more about the
| presidency just now than about Manila
| bay. He is anxious TO believe that the
| people want him for President, and hence
when he sees them line up by the thou
| sands, and hears them cheer him heartily
as his carriage goes by. nothing is more
| natural than that he should put that con-
| struction on their interest and attention

Bourke Cochran Mt Montgomery.

1t is reported that Bourke Cochran will
visit Montgomery. Ala, this week and de-
liver an address before the Southern So
cfety for the Promotion of the Study of
Race Conditions and Problems in the
South. He is expected to take extreme
ground on the race question. and to propose
outright the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment to the Constitution.
The majority of those who will partici-
pate in the meeting at Montgomery, which
is to continue three days. are men Of south
ern birth and residence and very highly
respected throughout the country. Hilary
A. Herbert of Alabama and Clifton R.
Breckenridge of Arkansas are of the num-
Der. and men of that stamp ought to be
able to contribute much of value to that
subject Their experience in political af-
fairs has been large. and they have the
ear of the public. And whether one agrees
with them or not, it is to be conceded that
they are representative men of their sec
ton. with knowledge gathered at first hand
of local conditions. and worthy therefore
of hearing.
But it is to be doubted if Mr. Cochran
has anything to contribute to the meeting
but impassioned oratory. He knows MOTH
ing of the south or of her problems but
from hearsay. He settled In New York
wien lie came over from ireland, and has
resided there since. The negro prob
lem in New York bears no resemblance to
the negro problem in the south In fact
there is no negro problem in New York
Mr.. Cochran and his political friends make
play for the negro vote as for the white
vote in their local contests, and get por-
ton of il. There are colored Tammany
clubs manipulated by Mr.. Croker at cleo
ton times, and their votes are cast and
counted 1t would seem to be anything but
becoming in Mr.. Cochran, therefore while
hobnObbing with the negro in election con-
tests at home. and soliciting and accepting
negro support, to be invading the south.
where THE negrOs inclination is to vote
against Mr.. Cockran's party, and proposing
that the negro be prevented from voting
there at all.
The race problem is not exclusively
southern problem. The whole country is
interested in it, and hopes for just and
workable solution of it. But to the extent
that the Montgomery meeting is swayed by
the sober addresses of southern men IA
miliar with their topic, and not by imported
passionate orators who know little if any
thing about it, will the meeting command
respectful public attention. Better call Mr..
Cochran off, give him a subject with
which he has had opportunity to familiarize
himself.

The New Home of The Star.

When The Evening Star INDUCED in point
ed criticism and persistent nagging of the
Treasury Department for permitting the
post office building on Pennsylvania avenue
to be constructed with miraculous slowness
and incredible imperfection, considering the
power of the authorities who directed the
construction, some persons We're disposed
to consider the complaints unreasonable
Presently The Star began the erection of an
office building immedia tely opposite to the
great pile for the post office But The Star
people made contract with the George A
Fuller Company, with the most carefully
guarded provisions, and it called for the
erection, in the best manner. of the struc-
ture designed by the architects to be COM
pleted for occupation in year.

up long ago. and it is a fine specimen of

The law is supposed to prevent the sale of

The local movement to discourage cigar
cite smoking by the young is well estab-
llshed. 1t seeks to create a strong public
sentiment, to enforce a reasonable moral
discipline in the schools and to inculcate in
the boys of Washington an appreciation of
the dangers of persistent smoking. Some
of the most efficient agents of this propa-
ganda may be found in the ranks of youth.
A sturdy lad commanding the respect of
his companions may do more good against
TINS bad habit than many lectures by eld-
ers There is something potent in the con-
tempt of one boy for another Too often it
is this force that leads a lad to smoke, in
order to avoid the reputation of being a
Weakltug, an 'apron-string" boy False
ideals and standards are too frequently es-
tablished by the stronger minded but lower
principled boys in a group.
This New York case might well be used
here and now, therefore. to illustrate the
horrors of the habit when carried to ex-
cess when running to its logical conse-
quences. OF course all boys who smoke are
not potential murderers but it should be
comparatively easy to show the youth of
Washington, through the medium of the
present agitation. that there is a grave
risk in this form of Indulgence, and that
1t is the course of safety to eschew alto
gether pleasure which is at best ques-
tionable

This is not unusual a story that II
needs closer analysis. Similar crimes have
occurred in the past in the large cirIes
chiefly attributable to n degenerated condi-
ton due TO some excess. The cigarette
habit is most common because it is a cheap
habit. within easy reach of attainment
Boys are prone 10 lean toward the acduisi-

long step in results from the harmless sur

stroys the nerve force, weakens the con-
stitution and in too many cases lowers the
moral tone OF the individual.
Against the cigarette itself there can be
but. the objection of an occasional preju-
dice. Against the use of the cigarette by
the young and growing, however there
must be an emphatic and an effective protest.

Enforce the OIeo Regulation.
From the Pittsburx Characteristics.

Justice to the dairying interests, as well
as consumers of either butter or oleo de.
mands that the regulations be enforced 10
the letter. If they are, time will probably
show that the vexatious oleomargarine
problem has been happily solved. The
trouble has been heretofore that the pos.
slbility of profit was great as to be a
constant temptation to dishonesty. The
substitute for butter may be every bit as
good and wholesome as genuine butter, but
1t Is not butter and should have no place
upon the market disguised as that article
This is the principle which the law recog-
nizes; it is sound, and the public will well
come every effort to carry it into effect

When spring smiles fair upon the scene
And gentle Zephyrs blow,
A gentle hint of joy l CLEAN,
No matter where I go.
Though fair may be the things 1 view
When woodlands explore,
Still fairer are imported to
The corner grocery store.
Then sing me not of violets bright
Along the sylvan way;
A bunch of lettuce meets my sight
With meaning tar more gay.
Let rhubarb, radishes and such
Invite the troubadour
To celebrate with tenderest touch

Though blossoms may delight our youth
With tints and odors sweet,

They are not good to eat
Then welcome to the vernal bower
Where clustered round the door
Are pleasures of unfadng power,

The Observation-Disclosures.

The union Of the nation and it's capital
was happily and forcibly illustrated last
Saturday by the spectacle presented on the
occasion of the Board Of Trades annual
sddd-bake, which was attended by several
hundred men representative of both the
federal and the local interests here blended
One Of the most practical functions of this
organization is to knit close ties between
these interests, TO make the men of the
government and the men of the capital
better acquainted, to produce a spirit of
harmony and cooperation between them
certain in its full effect to evolve a capital
of wonderful beauty. Indeed the ideal mu-
nicipality which is held IN mind by every
progressive Washingtonian and every clear
sighted legislator for the near future was
brought nearer TO realization by this gath
ering. which offered innumerabIe chances
for the incubation of the good-fellowship
which promotes understanding and cooper
alton.
Another result of the Board Of Trades
excursion Saturday was to afford opportun-
jty to the representative men of both gov
eminent and capital to bid farewell to the
retiring District Commissioner and TeIcome
to his successor. Mr.. Nights brief speech
of gratitude for the cooperation of the
community during his term of service
voiced the spirit of capital making which
animates all workers In this field Mr. Mac
farland's few words were equally express
i've of the same thought. Indeed those
brief sentences may be accepted as the new
Commissioners inaugural. An administra-
ton based upon the broad lines he laid
down can not but succeed in advancing the
citys best interests and in furthering the
many projects for permanent benefit which
the capital-makers have undertaken

A Failure as 81 Candidate.
From the New York Tribune.

Admiral Dewey has been making his long
contemplated visit to the west He has
been received with open arms in Chicago
and St. Louis. Thousands of men have
paraded In his honor, the flags have been
flying, the club houses have been opened
and he has been given dinners and toasts.
But these honOrs We're rendered to him, not
as presidential candidate, but as the ad-
mirai OF the navy, the man who fought the
battle of Manila bay. Political questions
have not entered into the reception The
admiral must know by this time that as a
candidate for the presidency he is a failure.
