in such cases as these the public has no

slider If it were not for the cowardice
and demagogism which are incident to
politics every state in the Union would
by this time have an effective law
which would compel respect for pub

The loss of life which has thus far re-
suited from the 1iots has come entirely
from the action of private individuals.
Blood has been shed by both sides in
the transaction, while the police have
evidently refraired from taking such ac-
ton as would put a speedy end to vio-
lence on both sides. 1t is time that pub
lie authority brought the disgraceful
situation to an end There is one way
left of doing it. Those who seek VIC
lence should be made to endure violence.
If the city authorities Of ST. Louis are

grace to American civilization. Not only
IS the good name of that city involved
but the reputation of American sociatv *
at stake. When state and local antbor-
ity seem alike incapable of PRESERVING

innocent human life it is time that good
citizenship should assert Itself. if neces-
sary' through the agency of vigilance

st. Louis was disgraced in a similar
way many years ago, and it looks as
If its people had made but little progress
in the interval toward more civilized con-
cepton Of social relations. NOTHING
short of complete mania could have led
to the shooting down in cold blood of q
number of innocent children which took
place in that city yesterday. We arc
told that it is all the outcome of a CON
troversy between a given corporation and
certain Of its employees and that both
sides are intent on making no conces>
sion and no surrender 10 the other.
This claim shows the utter worthless

dustrial organization have decided to an.

society has no remedy save to stand
idly by and await the outcome.
The latest reports concerning this
brutal outbreak indicate that the labor
commissioner of the state has interposed

him to take to secure an adjustment be-
tween The opposing forces. The laws of
Missouri, like those of all OF the state;

Of the old Adullamfte faction of Churchill,
Dixie and the others. He has too much
to sacrifice by winning for himself a
reputation as an erratic politician rep
utation which, in England particularly,
puts a speedy ending to political ambi-
tons.
The war in South Africa is popular
with the British people. The fact will be
accounted cre6itable or discreditable TO
that people according as 1t is viewed
from one standpoint or the other. But al
best 1t is a form Of popularity which
does not attach to those who are identi-
fed with it, longer than the event itself.
Mr. Chamberlain may emerge from the
scene a stronger political factor than
ever before in the affairs of the British
empire. He probably will. Lord Sails
burys government will be materially
strengthened by the outcome of events.
and is in a position at any moment to
appeal to the country on the events in
cess almost absolute. But for Lord
Rosebery there is no such prospect
Whether he opposes or favors will mat
ter little unless, like Mr. Chamberlain
he chooses to give up the political asso-
Citations of a lifetime. He can preserve
his individual popularity before q given
constituency, if not before the British
people, but in the broader sphere of
political and party activity he simply
6rops out Of sight.
The Liberal party in England has not
as an organization committed itself TO OF
against the war in South Africa; but it
cannot get rid of its traditions. One OF
these relates to the action of Mr. Glad
stones government after the Boer vic
tory of Ma;Gba Hill. Neither can it get
rid of the great principle, for which all
true liberal political and social organi-
cations must ever stand of antagonism
TO appeals tc brute force as a means of
settling political difficulties, either ma
tional or international.
Whatever facility Lord Rosebery has
shown to trim his political sails to catch
the 1avoring wind it has not brought him
much of distinction OF practical success
as. a statesman. His career as premier
was as short-lived as any other of the
victories in any direction which are laio
to his credit. He has made some clever
political sallies and has revealed fund
of quiet irony which have attracted the
diiletanti of politics toward him. But il
any of the qualities of virile force Or
earncstness of conviction or readiness 10
