DUTY OF AMERICANS.

For the first time in forty years, or
since the unhappy days Of the Civil
War, the news reports tell us, the clti-
zens of Jackson, the capital Of Missis-
sippi, celebrated the Fourth Of July and
heard again the reading Of the Declare
ton of Independence, which every
American should read or hear ut least
once year.
For exactly forty years, it must be
plainly said, the citizens Of Jackson
have, therefore, been derelict in their
duty as American citizens. 1t is graft
flying, however, to learn that they have
regained the attitude proper to all
Americans. 1t should no more be pos
sible for an American to ignore or for
get the Declaration of Independence
than for churchman to forget his creed
or for any man Of honor to forget or
repudiate solemn obligation to which
his honor has been pledged.
Especially is 1t incumbent upon Ameri-
cans Of the present day to keep the
Declaration vital in their minds and to
weigh all questions Of national policy
by the standard which the Declaration
established.
We have been subjected to peculiar
ly dazzling temptation to abandon the
truths enunciated in the Declaration. A
Republican administration has aban-
oned those truths, and Republican
organs are trying to convince the people
that they are not truths-that when the
Patriot Fathers signed the Declaration
they knew it's utterances to be but lot
Of buncombe. This position has been
openly taken in st. Louis by the Globe
Democrat, the Western organ Of the adj
ministration. 1t is the hope Of the i'm
periaIists to discredit the Declaration
as an honest expression Of American
faith.
If this shall be done, If we shall aban,
don the creed therein set forth, the end
Of constitutional liberty on the Western
Continent is near. 1t is high time.
therefore, for Americans to renew and
revive their loyalty to the Declaration
Of Independence, the foundation upon
which the worlds greatest Government
stands. Allegiance to that immortal ut
terance has made us the worlds great
est Government. A betrayal Of its
truths will destroy us.

man may become rich by starving other
qualities Of mind and heart.
Perhaps the general spread of COM
forts during the last few years has
finally made the rare old philosophy
part and parcel of the American nature.
IL we have ordinary comforts, riches
may go hang" Riches do not consist
In what q man has, but in what he is.
As recent writer reiterates, give a man
imagination and the wealth Of the
world Is at his feet. He has the past,
the present and future at his command.
There died the other day at the Uni
versity Of Berlin Herman Grimm, pro-
fessor of things in general. a mind of
monumental proportions, he gave in
struction in the philosophy of how to
live and how to cultivate that inward
enjoyment of external things. He dealt
in brave thinking and fine living. He
delivered lectures on no one subject. but
to his crowded room went men harassed
with problems which seemed to melt
away before the calm and peaceful
philosophy of the old professor
AIouHu every one are men, perhaps
dressed In last years clothes, whose
lives show by every action that the cul-
| turc of books and high resolve are
worth while. Left by himself, such Il
character can be the happiest on earth.

least Of his enjoyments. How few of

Without previous notice yesterday morn
ing. Miss Helen Bertram, prlma- donna of
the Delmar Garden Opera Company since
the opening of the summer season-e asked
for a release from her contract. which was
granted by Manager Southwel.
Miss Bertram left the city last night an
nouncing that she was going to the Adiron-
dacks. but it is reported that she has re-
ceived an offer from an English opera
company to appear in London for the next
two seasons.
Within ten minutes after releasing Miss
Bertram, Charles NJ. Southwell. manager OF
the company, called UP Miss Laura Millard
in New. York, over the long-dstance tele-
phone, and engaged her as prima donna for
Delmar Garden. Within four hours of re-
ceiving the message Miss Willard started
on her trip West and will arrive in this city
in time to appear in the role Of Serena In

EQUIPPED FOR WORK.

Naturally the visit Of the Worlds
Fair Directors to Buffalo while the Pan
American Exposition was at its height
resulted in gain Of much practical In
formation. The Buffalo enterprise is
not a Worlds Fair, but 1t has neces-
sariiy had to confront many Of the
problems created by international ex-
positions.
An intelligent and searching investiga-
ton was made by the Worlds Fair Di-
rectors during their stay in Buffalo. Ii
was a systematic investigation. The
members of the various working COM
mittees studied those departments Of
the Buffalo Exposition which correspond
to the departments over which they
have control in preparing for the
Worlds Fair of 1903. Such investiga-
ton logically produced good results.
Taken in conjunction with search
ing analysis of the teachings of the
Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893 and Of the
Paris International Exposition Of 1900,
the recent study of the Buffalo EXPOSE
ton completes the equipment Of the ac-

Fair field, in 50 far as the lessons of the
past and the immediate present are con-
cerned.
1t is now in order to progress along
lines that will insure for 1903 the great
est Worlds Fair yet known. Originality
and a certain capable audacity in con-
ception and execution, an untiring ener-
gy, a continual readiness to profit by
new and novel ideas, an ability prompt
ly to perceive the value Of good ideas,
these must now be developed in behalf
| of the Worlds Fair Of 1903.
And the gratifying promise of the ex-
listing situation Is that the sonndest
knowledge of past endeavOr, the most
vigorous exercise of trained intelligence
In the present, the clearest foresight In
to the possibilities Of the future, will be
brought into active employment in
Worlds Fair work in st. Louis from
this time forward.

MONEY AND MORALS.

New York has just about passed
through another reform movement.
The elements of the crusade have been
about the same as those that have gone
before. Men with the best intentions
In the world have been condemned for
their methods in putting down vice.
Some of the contributors to the anti-vice
fund have withdrawn their support. Re
ports are current that the men against
whom the cruSades have been directed
are ready to open again ut the old
stands.
A city gets just as good government
as it deserves. If the general mass of
the population is Indifferent to civil gov
eminent, many months will not elapse
before the absolutely evil elements ad-
minister the laws as they please.
In connection with an announcement
made by Commissioner Murphy relative
characters, the Brooklyn Eagle frankly
explains why public sentiment i'll New
York is no higher. In the course of an
editorial on the Murphy order, the Eagle
says: strangers come here to spend
money, and the shopkeepers and hotel
keepers and keepers of saloons and
dives would rise rs one man if the city
were to be really cleaned, and demand
that the present condition of things he
restored. That is a plain statement of
the case. Many 4 pious father of
family of girls, who would not do a
wrong thing himself, would resign his
dry goods business tomorrow if he
thought that New York was to be made
pure, because it would mean that lie
would lose the trade of hundreds of peo-
pie who come here to buy goods. and
also to have good time"
Brutally said. 1t may be frankly
true. If correct, the reformers need Not
give their attention so much to the poll
ticians as to the great middle respect
able class which the Eagle pronounces
so blamable. Without vice New York
would be shorn of it's power. With a
clean bill of health and morals, the city
would so to ruin. Is it so!

JESTJFIEn

Official reports of casualties on the
Fourth of July amply justify the action
taken by Mayor Wells in prohibiting the
use Of heavy fireworks. The regulations
were to some extent disobeyed, and the
police reports show that only among the
violators Of the law were there many
accidents.
In a list of thirty-two accidents Sc
cured by the Police Department on the
Fourth, only one person suffered among
those who followed the instructions of
the Mayor. All the other persons who
required medical attention received
their injuries while manipulating toy
cannons, firing revolvers or setting of
giant firecrackers.
All of these were forbidden by the
Mayor. II his proclamation had been
literally obeyed, st. Louis could boast OF
harmless Fourth Of July. AS it is. the
day was followed by less Inconvenience
than for many years.
Now that it has been demonstrated
that the Fourth can be celebrated with
out long list Of casualties, next year.
celebration should be under even better
discipline.

A. GREAT CITIZEN.

st. Louis can i'll afford to lose such a
citizen as George E. leighton. Through
out his long residence In this city, he
has stood for the best things possible
in municipal life.
An emulation Of his character by all
men who devote such large proportions
of their time to private enterprise would
mean much to st. Louis.
Mr.. Leighton was public-spirited, ear
nest in the pursuit of his ideals and de-
voted to the betterment of conditions
in this city. His work for Washington
University will never be forgotten. His
example has served to help st. Louis
even as his works did.
