The banquet to be given in honor Of Mr.. John II,
Kirby the Rice hotel tonight is rendered by that gen
emans friends in appreciation of his efforts to vind
cate Texas laws well in recognition of his great
success in the promotion of enterprises attracting
considerable amount of public attention.
Though still young man, Mr.. Kirby has acquired
considerable reputation practical exponent of in
dustria development and been fortunate enough to
good return upon the energy invested by him in
the improvement of opportunities. Born and reared in
this portion of the State he has prospered upon his
tive heath and achieved greatness that his friends
and neighbors justly proud OLA greatness in
which, in measure the entire State has cause to
rejoice
1t is not so much however in the fact that Mr. Kir
by, starting with nothing but brains and determine
tion to conquer fortune, has taken rank among the
financial celebrities the day that he is to be honored
Early in his he felt the effect of the mouthngs
of calamity howlers who in sheer desperation over
their failure to control Texas politics made point of
sanderng their State in and out of season and adyer-
tsng it the world a yolator of vested acquired
rights and poor field for the placing of capital De
voting himself to the undoing of the work of these,
he has prospered individually while helping Texas in a
general way and onights banquet will celebrate the
fuiton of the most pretenous of his plans for the
drawing Of capital southwark Satisfied the laws
OF Texas contemplate nothing but reasonable regu-
laticn Of invested capital and that they make for any
thing but the embarrassment and repression of legit
mate corporate endeavor Mr. Kirby conceived the idea
of promoting enterprise for the development of the
lumber industry on large scale in East Texas and
went North for financial backing After long a time
that backing furnished and the enterprise is
being worked out
AS explained by MIR. Kirby, the movement will
demonstrate that capital employed in legitimate way
is better protected and more welcome in Texas than
anywhere else. According to his notion its success
will stimulate the flow of Eastern money in this direc
ton and lead the way to greater things.
Taking Mr. Kirby to be correct, in his estimate OF
the value of his great lumber manufacturing PROPOSE
ton object lesson to foreign capitalists, and
trusting in his ability to make it GO it has been con
sldered appropriate mark the occasion of his return
from the East with BETTING festivities. That those
festivities may prove timely is to be earnestly hoped

CAREFUL WORK.

thine spent in planning is never
wasted" says Mr.. Julius Pitzman, adj
visory landscape engineer of the World s
Fair, in discussing the task now con-
fronting the Subcommittee on Plan and
Scope; which must necessarily devise
the foundation scheme.
Mr.. Pitzman then gave some interest
ing instances Of the considerable loss of
money and time by both the Chicago
Worlds Fair and the Buffalo EXPOSE
tion, caused by the beginning of opera
tions before the complete plan and
scope Of those enterprises were fully di-
gested and clearly and definitely agreed
upon. The work thus done had to be
undone later. 1t was the old story Of
more haste, less speed"
Quick and yet deliberate and compre.
sensive thinking must precede the nc.
tual building of the Worlds Fair. The
Subcommittee ON Plan and Scope must
not be slow in perfecting its task-but
neither must it entail greater sacrifice
by precipitancy. The way to create the
material housing Of Worlds Fair in
the briefest time possible to thorough
and satisfactory work is to base its be
ginning on plan SO definitely conceived
and so complete in detail that subse
quent changes will be unnecessary.

cfty's needs. demands the earnest con-
sideration of all citizens as well as of
the proper municipal officers.
From this time forward it will be
mapifestly injurious to St. Louis and
the best interests Of the community at
large to insist that conditions which pre-
vailed in the past shall continue to pre-
vail. The revenue. Of st. Louis, the
Worlds Fair City of 1908. must be made
sufficient to the necessities Of one Of the
worlds great cities of the Twentieth
Century. The rank now held by st.
Louis makes this imperative.
Z. The constitutional and Charter amend
ments called for by existing conditions
should be passed without demur from
any quarter. st. Louis is entering upon
a period Of prosperity and Of municipal
distinction such as 1t has never before
known. There must be no sacrifice OF

JAMES E. YEATMAN.

Mr.. James E. Yeatman, the beloved
and venerable st. Louisan who died yes
teriay, was one of the rare men who
make the world gentler, truer and
Drawer by having lived in it a gentle,
true and brave life.
A great simplicity and kindness OF
spirit gave to Mr.. Yeatman's personali-
.ty that fine distinction which made him
90 peculis Fly the foremost citizen Of st.
Louis. 1t was upon this firm foundation
that was builded a character fragrant
OF the highest and best nobility, the no.
biIity of the sincere and helpful soul
that loves the humanity of which it is a
part, that believes In the worthiness of
manhood, that brings out all the good
Of souls with whom. it comes in touch,
by reason Of this very trustfulness in
the existence Of good.
The story OF Mr.. Yeatman's long and
beautiful life cannot be read without
exercising an uplifting influence upon
the minds Of its readers. Just as it was
impossible for those who knew the mar
himself not to be bettered by the know

he lived will now take its enrichin.

IT'S STAIN REMAINS.

When. on July 25. in accordance with
the action Of the Porto Rican Legis-
lature. supplemented by forthcoming
proclamation from President Mckinley,
free trade will be established between
Porto Rico and the United States.
great and shameful contradiction will
disappear from cur national life.
This contradiction was found In the
fact that, while we are forbidden by the
American Constitution to impose upon
the people of any section Of this country
a tariff tax from which other sections
are free, the Porto Ricans were, never
theless, paying such tax. 1t was In
violation Of the Constitution, but they
had no recourse for Justice. A former
PRESIDENT Of the United States, the late
benjamin Harrison, denounced the tax
as "a wide departure from right prin-
ciples." but the departure was made all
the same.
The reason was that the Sugar Trust
insisted upon 1t. Until the Sugar Trust
should have opportunity to gain control
of the sugar industry in Porto Rico It
forbade the free entry Of Porto Rican
sugar into the United States. And what
the Sugar Trust said went" with the
Mckinley administration. Porto Rico's
trade with Spain was destroyed. With
all other countries the island was neces-
sarily on the footing Of any other for
eign territory. Rightfully, all ports of
the United States were open to Porto
Rican products free Of duty. But they
We're closed against this free entry, the
American Constitution to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The Porto Rican tariff fniquity Il a
blot upon the honest name Of the United
States Government. This is not an in
dictment exclusively returned by the
Democratic party. The late Benjamin
Harrison and other Republicans still
faithful to the Constitution returned
this indictment. 1t was a true indict-
ment, based on the facts and the evil
dence in the case.

FOR THE SCHOOL FUND.

Democratic fashions in footing
school funds seem to be good for the
people. The State Auditor has just an
nounced an increase Of nearly 100000
in the amount to be distributed to the
schools this year. The increase in the
amount apportioned to st. Louis is more
than $4,000.
II the cause Of education for the PEG.
ple is promoted by the distribution of
funds increasing at rate Of 100000 a
wear, the masses of Missouri will ask
the Democratic party to go on loot
ing"
In fact, as the figures prove and as
nil well-informed citizens have always
known, the management Of public edu
cation is one Of the real triumphs Of the
party record in Missouri. Unblemished
honesty, rigid strictness and able bust
ness Judgment have been displayed fol
the benefit of the schools. Governor
Dockery's first year of administration
carries along to special success this
fiawless record.

PASS THE AMENDMENTS.

Chairman Kelly Of the House Of Dele
gates Committee on Legislation is re-
ported as saying that favorable action
on the Charter amendments will prob
ably be taken in time for the lower
branch Of the Municipal Assembly to
pass the bill at next Fridays meeting.
1t is promised that the amendments will
be disposed Of before the summer vaca-
ton begins.
Before st. Louis can begin the large
improvements demanded by the present
deplorable condition Of public works.
the Charter amendments must be
passed. Both parties pledged them
selves to the furtherance Of improve
ments in the municipal code. Mayor
Wells has repeatedly called attention to
