Sympathy for the President.

A correspondent of The Star In contrast
ing yesterday the attitudes Of ex-Speaker
Reed and Senator Wellington toward the
President I'm his affiiction, said:
Reeds animoslties are as much stronger
than Wellington's, probably, as his mind
the MARYLAND pigmy Reed had ten times
greater cause of resentment against Mr
Mckinley, as resentments go. than wei
lington; but while the ex-Speaker gives ex-
preston to the warmest hope for the Pres
fdent's speedy recovery, the man Yelling
ton snarls his indifference"
What "cause Of resentment" has Mr..
Reed against Mr.. Mckinley? So far as the
public Is advised he has none. The two
men while serving in Congress, together
were the warmest of friends. Subsequent
ly Mr.. Mckinley defeated Mr.. Reed for the
republican presidential nomination, but that
afforded no just ground for quarrel. Ihe
defeat was fairly and decisiyely admins
tered and Mr.. Reed supported his success
full rival for election.
Mr. Reed differed with the President
about the questions growing out OF the
Spanish war, as of courseEhe had a perfect
right to do. But likewise had the Prest-
dent a perfect right to shape his policies
without Mr.. Reeds approval. He did SO,
and they were so greatly at variance with
Mr. ReeQ s views tndt rather tndH SuppoiI
them Mr. Reed retired from Congress. This
action on Mr.. Reeds part caused regret In
some quarters and surprise in all quarters,
but nobody advanced the idea that Mr..
Reed could reasonably complain of Ill
usage. The differences were not personal in
any sense. The President could as justly
have complained of Mr.. Reed as Mr.. Reed
of the President There was no reason In
the world therefore why Mr.. Reed should
not express himself, as he did, In terms of
sympathy for the President at this time.
Mr.. Wellington's case is unique. The Sc
nior senator from Maryland Is the only
man to whom the President has revealed
himself in light that robs him not only of
good will but of human sympathy In the
hour of suffering The experience of all
other men with the President has been to
attach them to him more or less warmly.
Many of his dearest friends and sincerest
admirers are men who have differed with
him all public questions foreign and do
mestic. But they all testify to his kindly
bearing and honorable dealing. This Is Mr..
Wellington's startling distinction. He alone,
of all men, has pierced the Presidents dis
guise, and arrived at the real truth about
him And so not even the bullet of an as
sassin stretching the President upon a bed
of pain can awaken in Mr.. Wellingtons
bosom feeling of sorrow or tenderness.
He, however. is the loser. The President
does not need his sympathy, and the Mary
land senator by withholding 1t sinks him
self deeper than ever in the contempt of
the country

of Michigan. for instance, to the severe
policy OF New York materially reduces the
percentage of capital offenses. EVIL calls
for deeper remedy than the Increasing Of
the punishment. The reform which Is to
cure men of their vicious tendencies must
strike out their moral disease germs not
their vital spark.
The largest percentage OF crime, 1t is
held by sociologists has it's origin in the
vicious surroundings OF the individual. It
Is to be traced to the bad atmosphere In
which children are reared. It arises from
environment. To reach the disease these
conditions must be changed. Much is be-
ing done in many fields along these lines.
The social, moral and physical conditions
of the poor are being everywhere improved
through the enterprise of employers and
volunteer workers who seek the better
ment OF society. Czolgosz represents
state OF dissatisfaction which springs like
wise from these Vicious surroundings, in
which 1t Is apparently impossible for some
men to secure rational views Of life. He
has been exposed not only to the tempta-
tfons OF his own class, but to the teachings
or radicals like Emma Goldman.
The problem ultimately requiring solu-
tion Is to correct the evil conditions which
make men ready listeners to the pernicious
doctrines of anarchism. Put the penalty
as high even the scaffold, sweep into
the police drag-net all advocates OF the
murder cult for the regeneration Of society,
prescribe meetings and publications-do
everything possible to destroy the specific
germ OF anarchism. But let these remedies
be followed by the more important meas
ures Of real, constructive reform, which
will. II inteliigently devised and executed,
remove much il not all Of the reason for
mems minds to absorb the dangerous
theories of society which now appeal to
their disordered imaginations as practi-
cable remedies for existing conditions.

O6ense of the Billboard.

What shall we say Of the billboard-that
triumph of modern art and redoubtable
ingenuity? 1t shows us a paradox Of pub
lie opinion. for while everybody except the
malefactors concerned denounces It, yet
everybody suffers 1t. He who assails the
ear with offensive sounds, II not in the
name OF religion, can be suppressed, and
the law will protect the nOstrN against OBJ
jectionable odors. But the eye is helpless
against the grotesque and disturbing sights
spread before 1t to the Disagreement of
natural scenery. the destruction Of land
scapes and the annoyance Of the residence
sections of our cities. Is there no relief?
Beginnings in this much-needed reform
have been made both in Europe and in the
United States. That the billboard can be
suppressed, and that it can be controlled
and made a source Of revenue, has been
proved in almost every city In Europe.
Belgium, France, Holland and Germany
regulate the size. position and character OF
every poster, and a graduated tax Is moi
uncommon.

London Mud and Dust,
From the Lancet.

In spite OF, or possibly because Of. parlia-
ment, the London county council, the
metropolitan boroughs and the lighting and
water companies London Is possibly the
most inconvenient and most untidy city OF
Europe. The streets are either muddy
slushy or dusty; they are Uttered with
and omnibus tickets; they are constantly
being grubbed up for some reason or other
barrels Of beer, Goals and other goods are
delivered across the footways at all hours
the streets pretty much as they please, and
chimneys are allowed to make the air filthy
because they cannot get Welsh coal" Sc
long as London is governed by, or rather
Is dependent for its due regulation upon q
number of bodies all Independent Of each
other, so long will nuisances Of various
kinds continue. We make no suggestion as
to who should be the governing body, but
that there should be one Is certain,

The attempt to assassinate the President
places before this country one OF the most
difficult problems 1t has yet had to solve.
Formerly the anarchists could be dismissed
as vaporous cranks So tender has been
the fear Of limiting freedom Of speech or OF
establishing precedents whereby men might
be prosecuted because Of their honest con-
victions that demonstrations which amount
ed to absolute defiance Of law and order
have been generously ignored. Good nature
has as usual been made to pay severe
penalty. and It now devolves upon the
United States to protect its chief magis-
t2ate and at the same time to keep aloof

That mebbe you are right.
He'll listen to an argument

An does his daily duty by

With those words, and those words only,
John G. Milburn introduced William Nc
