Bi1l-ROards,

The crusade against the obnoxious bill
board is producing a wholesome state of
public Indignation which may lead to re-
FORM but some extrayagances of assertion
against the advertising poster have been
ELECTED. The Indictment against the bill
board is drawn upon the counts of its Of
fense against the artistic requirements OF
a city and its intrusion of unpleasant facts
and designs and colors unavoidabiy before
the eyes of the public. It Is being foolishly
charged that some of these posters have
caused physical distress in persons who
have been led to imagine themselves af-
hicted with the diseases for which cures
are so giaringiy announced. In short. the
billboard Is charged with exercising a
harmful hypnotic suggestive force. This
must be proved before IL is accepted There
is no denying the power OF the imagination
to produce physical Ills. or Of the hypnotic
influence to superinduce q belief In suffer-
ing. But it Is strain upon the credultty
to declare that the patent medicine poster
thus spreads disease.
The most serious objection to the bill

south Africa and India.

1t was only the other day we were told
that the czar and the kaiser had at last
agreed to take up the case of the Beers,
and were now preparing to approach Eng
land the subject of peace The news
as to Russia was a little startling and
strange. Why should Russia. which never
works on sentimental lines, be so moved
in behalf of the Beers? The impression
prevailed that Russia had benefited by the
war in South Africa. That conflict had
kept England so busy she had been unable
to assert herself in China and elsewhere,
and Russia had enjoyed practically free
hand The belief was general. indeed, that
had England not been tied up in South
Africa she would have defeated Russia's
game as TO Manchuria. That game has
not been entirely won. Why then should
Russia be active about restoring peace In
the Transvaal, which would enable Eng
land to use elsewhere as her interests
might demand the largest and now the
best equipped army she has ever had in
the field?
The story today is that England is SO
well satisfied with the hold she has on
South Africa she is on the eve of relieving
General Kitchener of supreme command
there and transferring him with seventy
thousand troops to the Indian frontier.
That always interesting and uncertain old
gentleman the Ameer of Afghanistan is
again showing signs of eruption, and as
England regards him as Russia's tool she
never fails to note his manifestations of
disauiet. II she strengthens her guard
the Indian border now. therefore, 1t will be
in response to what she conceives to be
Russian move in that quarter. And. nat
urally General Kitchener. who is familiar
gested for general-in-chief.
Whatever the actual facts about these
two matters may be. it seems certain that
for months past the Beers have been the
victims of a most cruel deception on the
part of those processing to be their cham
pions in Europe. Intervention by any
power of note has never for moment
been considered. England has been abso-
lutely sure of her ground, from the firing
OF the first gun by the Beers; and she is
surer today, SO far as outsiders are con-
cerned. than ever before. Why then should
the burghers in the field have been misled
by their agents and professed friends run
ming about from capital to capital in E,I-
rope and earning their salaries only in the
sweat of their jaws? Indeed. the lives Of
Boer and Briton alike sacrificed within
door of men who have either shut their
eyes to the truth or else have dishonesty
withheld ii from those entitled to know
1t and whose actions would have been very
different as guided by it.

The Local Militia.

The capital feels justffabIe pride in
the two organizations which last week as
sefnbled separately for practice and drill
to maintain the high standard Of the Dis
trfct National Guard Both the land and
the naval militia accepted the opportunity
Tor an annual mobilization in such numbers
as to demonstrate the healthy condition Of
the guard and the intelligent interest which
the members take In it's welfare. The camp
at Leesburg was pronounced by experts
who visited it to be fine example of what
the citizen soidiery can accomplish for
orderiiness, arrangement and value OF
training results. The cruise on the Fern
, demonstrated that the volunteer sailors of
the national capital are progressing stead
lily toward the ideal of discipline and ef-
hclency which is held by the federal
authorities. In the target practice the
District jackies made such scores as to
suggest that the local men behind the guns
are well up with their professional
brethren.
These annual drills and camps and
cruises are of the utmost value in not only
determining the efficiency of the guard,
but in setting new standards Armory
work will round men into shape roughly as
soldiers, but it will not insure efficiency in
time OF active service. Camp life requires
knowledge of men and of conditions
which may not be had from books Hard
experience is the only reliable teacher The
men in uniform must get in contact with
the ground, must take their meals with the
SAVIOR of outdoor life, must learn to subdue
their fondness for the comforts of we'll

4 Dark Horse for fooa,

Ihis paragraph appears in a report of a
speech delivered by Senator Jones of Ar
kansas in that state the other day:
He stated with reference to the next
President of the United States that he ex-
pected him to be a democrat: that while
he would cheerfully support Mr.. Hill or
any other man whom the democrats might
nominate, his private opinion Is that the
party Will display wisdom in selecting
ness man, whose record Is faultless whose
democracy is consistent and in whose in
tegrity all classes have an abiding conf
dence.
1t would not be difficult to find a dis
Greet jurist." Most judges are discreet
enough. The democratic party is fortu-
nate in the possession Of many men who
would I'LL that bill. But why go TO the
bench for the presidential candidate? For
tunately for the bench and for the coun-
try, no party has ever done that Is there
any particular reason why the democracy
should do it now? Would 1t not be better
20 hold to the rule, and keep the bench out
of the calculation?
And why Obscure business man?y
What would be the strength of such a
candidate? Some business men, IL is true
have shown at times great aptitude for
politics and as governors OF stafes, SEN
htors. cabinet ministers and diplomats
have left their mark on their times We
have never had purely business man in
the White House, as The Star some months
ago pointed out. But that Ia not to say
that such a man In favorable circum-
stances would not make an excellent Presi-

dent. VIII the situation In 1904 call for
such a nomination?
Mr.. Jones has in mind, of course, a can
didate without political record-in q
sense, a negative quantity politically con-
sidered. But is he not wrong about that?
Would not such a nomination prove any
thing but strong? Was there ever great
er necessity for men of the largest political
Information and experience in our high
places? Were our public affairs ever more
difficult or important? Have we not en-
tered upon paths where slxiiifui guidance is
everything to our continued peace and
prosperity? Why, therefore. should there
be hope of success in the leadership Of
man whose chief merit in the campaign
would be his total lack Of political rec
ord? How could the people be rallied to
his support as to that Of q man whose
capacity to deal with governmental prob
lens stood demonstrated and confessed?
Let us hope that neither OF the two great
parties will nominate dark horse in 1904,
or attempt by any platform Jugglery to
carry the day at the polls. The work
ahead calls for aggressive and capable as
we'll as clean leadership. and 1t would be

The Strike settlement.

The sudden opening OF a prospect Of
peace in the steel strike situation Is highly
gratifying to the public, which. after all.
stood to suffer the most severely from
prolonged and a widespread tie-up in this
important industry. The leaders of the
strikers seem to have come to a realiza-
tfon that they could not extend the strike
without incurrng a very grave financial
and moral responsibility. while they were
confronted with the almost hmitless re-
sources of the steel combination. They
had made but little impression in the as
sault with the first strike and had gained
comparatively few recruits from among
the non-union workers. The choice before
them was to continue the struggle at q
cost to labor which would soon mount
into the millions and a corresponding cost
but much more easily borne, to capital, or
to yield on the most advanced points in
controversy and seek a. solution through
compromise.
1t appears that they have chosen the lat
ter alternative. and wisely. Their services
to labor are the more valuable in that they
have been restrained on the safe side of
the issues. They held in their hands a
power for evil which. in the light Of pre-
vious labor disturbances. cannot today be
accurately measured Riot, arson and
murder were among the ultimate possibili-
ties of the strike. Their orders command
ing peace among the strikers could not be
relied upon for more than few weeks il
general tie-up were caused. Idle men
are not likely to await quietly in their
homes the result of deadlock which de-
prives them of their income and forces
them upon the charity Of their fellow
craftsmen and associates in the line Of or
ganized labor. Their natural impulses
lead them to the scene Of their late ac-
tivity. to watch developments and to take
a hand in the process Of preventing the
manufacturers from securing substitutes
The result In almost every case Is disorder,
which quickly spreads and brings many
evils in its train.
The agreement. as reported. reached Sat
urday between the representatives Of the
steel trust and the labor union sets the
matter back to where it was interrupted
by the declaration Of the strike The ap-
peal Of the public to both sides would be
to take up and continue the negotiations
in an amicable and considerate spirit with
the result of getting together speedily in
an equitable agreement.

Break Up the Practice.

From the st. Joseph (Mo) Gazette.
The police have determined to break I'm
the practice some of the railroad crews
have OF blocking the street crossings In the
city for many minutes at time. Under
the city ordinances the railroads are given
the right to use the crossings to the ex-
clusion OF public traffic for period Of five
minutes at time, but often trains OF cars
are permitted to stand across streets for q
much longer time. Possibly there are
times when this cannot be well avoided,
but more frequently the blockade IS the
result of the contempt of the train crews
for the law and for the rights Of others.
Street cars are sometimes held at railroad
crossings from ten to fifteen minutes and
they have been neld even longer.
