should 90 into court claiming that tho
Coliseum as used Is violation Of the
purposes for which the ground was con-
veyed to the city, they might have .
good case.
They would have no case at all II they
should protest against removal Of the
Coliseum and restoration Of the park.
The only thing against which they can
protest Is the use Of that part Of the
ground for any except public park pur-
poses. They might plausibly claim that
their waiver did not contemplate mo-
nopoly Of the entire piece Of ground by
a private business.
Bringing the Lucas heirs into the dis
cussion simply serves to expose further
the weak title under which the Exposi-
ton company is occupying the ground.
To their full extent the rights of these
heirs are an argument for a restoration
of the park and an argument against
the misuse Of the public ground. If the
prominence given to the contingent
Lucas rights has any effect 1t should be
to awaken the creditors Of the Exposi-
tion to the dangers ahead Of the weak
title by which the Coliseum occupies the
ground north of Locust street-ground
which the Library Board does not ask
for and does not need.

"MAY / 1903"

At the meeting Of the Board Of Direc-
tors Of the Worlds Fair Company which
resulted In the election Of permanent Of
ficers 1t was made plain that from this
date forward there will not be an un-
necessary loss Of one days time in
Worlds Fair work.
Both President Francis and Treasurer
Thompson urged upon the directory the
imperative necessity Of unceasing and
untiring effort to this end. Each was
insistent in emphasizing the fact that
there must be no postp0nement Of the
Worlds Fair. 1t had been announced
that the gates would be opened on May
l, 1903, and opened they must be on that
day. President Francis called attention
to the fact that actual work was begun
on the Chicago Worlds Fair two years
and six months before the gates were
opened. 1t is incumbent upon st. Louis
to complete its Worlds Fair work with
in two years.
There is, as matter Of course,
tremendous task confronting the officers
and directors, but 1t is not an impossible
task. They can avoid certain mistakes
made by Chicago which resulted in the
loss Of much valuable time. They can
profit by a study of the splendid prog
ress made by Chicago in despite of
these mistakes. They have at their dis
poeal more money for the making Of the
Worlds Fair Of 1903 than had Chicago
at the beginning Of the work on the
Worlds Fair Of 1893. They have more
and richer material available than has
been possible In the history of such ex-
positions up to the present time.
Indomitable energy and a dauntless
courage will be devoted to the making
Of the St Louis Worlds Fair. The Of
hcers elected at the recent meeting Of
the Worlds Fair directory are men
trained in the doing Of big things. They
will not be frightened by Obstacles.
Their grasp Of the situation is complete
and comprehensive. Their mastery Of
its details is the mastery that comes
from skilled ability In the management
OF great enterprises. The Board Of
Directors acting with them in the guild
ance Of st Louis's greatest undertak-
Ing are men Of similar. qualifications.
The heads Of departments win be chosen
for SURPRISING ability. The two achieve
ments now determined upon are these
the ST. Louis Worlds Fair must open
its gates to the public on May /, 1903,
and 1t must be the biggest, best and
most beautiful Worlds Fair known to
history.

SHIP-SUBSIDY BILL.

Senator Cockrell is doubtless right in
his prediction that the Republicans will
find themselves sufficiently amenable to
Hanna's will in the next Congress to
pass a ship-subsidy bill for the benefit
Of certain syndicates standing very near
to Hanna.
He Is also justified in his belief that,
even though this bill be modified YER
sion Of that which Hanna tried in vain
to jam through the preceding Congress-,
1t will nevertheless give the Democratic
party excellent campaign material for
the congressional campaign of 1902.
This Is inevitable, for the reason that
the American people are now too in
telligently posted on the ship-suhsidy
question to be fooled into believing that
such grant can be anything but a tax
Of the syndicates.
The country has not yet forgotten the
desperate efforts made by Hanna to
bend the Fifty-sixth Congress to his will
in this matter of the passage Of the
Observation-Disclosures Oil ship
subsidy bill. 1t is remembered also that
Hanna was pledged to the passage Of
this bill. 1t was one OF the conditions
upon which the syndicates made up the
$50, ,000, 900 slush fund for the re-elec-
ton Of Mr.. Mckinley to the Presidency.
Hanna's pledge to the syndicates is still
in force. 1t must be made good II Han
ma is to convince the syndicates that his
power Is equal to the performance Of
any and every promise which he may
see at to make In return for the syndt-
Gates financial backing.
Senator Cockrell is well posted as to
the possibilities Of congressional action.
He sees as certain the passage Of a ship
subsidy bill at an early day following
the assembling Of the Fifty-seventh
Congress- 1t will be the duty of the
American people to rebuke such action
at the polls in the congressional cleo
tions of 1902. The rebuke must be ad-
ministered in the form of Overwhelming
defeat Of Republican candidates for
Congress,

COOKS AND OTHER sAvANTs.

According to an announcement made
by the Civil Service Commission, e1-
aminations will shortly be held for the
filling of vacancies in the Federal ser
vice as follows: An. ethnologist In the
Smithsonian Institution, plant physf-
ologist, plant pathologist and several
similar posts in the Agricultural Depart
ment, and cooks in the Indian service
ito be attached to certain Indian schools.
1t may strike the superficial observer
that this is an incongruous combination,
embracing, as 1t does, the student Of
racial history, the Investigator of the
physiological and pathological character
istics Of plant life, and the plain, COM
mon, everyday cook-a patient, lowly
and unpretentious figure Of plebeian con-
ditfSn and never Of any great dignity in
the worlds esteem. This view Of the
matter, however. is a singularly erro-
neous one.
They are all scientists, the ethnologist,
the plant pathologist, the plant physio-
logist and the cook. And Of the lot, that
particular science Of which the cook is
presumably master is by far the most
important to humanity. We could all
manage to worry along without the
ethnologist, the plant pathologist or the
plant Psychologist, II need be, and still
live a fairly happy life. But without the
cook the entire scheme of the universe
would be changed. Wherefore it is not
meet to grin when you hear Of cook
In company with an ethnologist, plant
pathologist and plant physiologist. He
is the most potent scientist in the outfit.

FRIENDS ALL

Early Sunday morning special train
will leave Union Station for Texas.
Aboard will be representatives OF nearly
all the principal business concerns of
st. Louis who will spend a week visit
Ing the different sections of the State,
renewing acquaintances, making new
ones, and seeing the sights"
1t L. eminently proper that st. Louis
should send such large and represent
ative delegation to the Lone Star State.
Ever since Texas has been in the Union
and before. for that matter-men from
that part Of the country have visited
st. Louis both for business equipments
and for social recreation.
During the past two decades, this
movement has been more marked than
ever. With the settlement Of the north
western part Of the State and the filling
up Of the southern, the trade between
Texas and St Louis has increased and
multiplied. The women Of Texas wear
millinery from St Louis. The men wear
clothes bought from st. Louis manu-
facturers and jobbers. St Louis houses
oI0 furnishing tne pipe Tor the oil guSh-
ers. The farm machinery necessary to
the conduct Of the large ranges is
bought in this city. In fact, there is
hardly a commodity that st. Louis does
not furnish to the largest State in the
Union.
On the other hand, the visits Of Tex
ans to this city are profitable and pleas
ant. Especially large is the Texas con-
tingent at the racing meet this spring.
The wholesale district has been busy
filling the orders left by the visiting
buyers from the Southwest. Ne resi-
dent OF Texas terms his Eastern journey
complete unless St Louis 10 included
for q stop Of several days.
There is reason for the good feeling
that prevails between the two sections
of country. It is natural that the men
who have received 30 many visits from
Texas callers should wish to pay their
social debts. There will be no feeling
that strangers are meeting strangers.
st. Louisans know that they win be in
the hands Of their friends.

At the meeting of the Joint Passenger

its point in the fight against the other east

Chairman Eben E. Macleod Of the Western

the following to lines interested in the Kan
sas City-New York differential and

that the attention Of this committee has
been called to the difficulties between GER
tain lines regarding fares from Kansas City
and other Western points to Eastern desti-
nations, which threatened to involve lines
IN the territory OF this committee. and call
his attention to the fact that, under the
rules Of the Joint Passenger Committee,
lines members of that committee, are pro-
hiolted from accepting. and will not accept
anything less than their regular proper
ttons Of agreed tariff fares, and urge upon
him and his committee the Importance Of
advancing fares from points were they
may have been reduced, pending a confer

Just what effect this will have on The
present situation is a matter Of surmise. II
Ee. Rock Island and other Kansas City
lines refuse to withdraw the difYerential
rate OF $29.05 over so-called standard routes,
the Wabash on Monday will put in a rate
OF SNl0 from Kansas City to New York.
While It Is generally admitted that the
wabash is technically correct in the stand
1t has taken, the other lines claim that the
equities In the situation demand q readjust-
ment Of rates.
