FOR BETTER POLICE.

Chiefs Kiely and Desmond have re-
turned from their Eastern trip Of IN
spection filed with a desire to make the
ST. Louis Police Department as good as
conditions will permit. Both Of the OFF,
GERS are high in praise Of certain other
police systems.
When the Police Board gave them a
vacation 1t was hoped that experience
gained In other cities would be useful
upon their return.
Already st. Louis has an improved de-
partment.. Reports from the criminal
courts show that better work is being
done now than in years. This city IL
gradually becoming known as locality
that is not healthy for thugs and gem
eral police characters.
With the approach Of the Worlds
Fair the need for further improvement
is manifest. st. Louis wants to have
one Of the best forces In the country.
Not alone for show-for that will be ex-
pected-but for practical work. With
the coming Of the great crowds, . strict
er watch upon the criminal classes must
he kept. In determining that the Police
Department shall be organized to that
end the two Chiefs have fixed their eyes
on the right goal.

NO OTHER CAUSE.

1t is not strange that the Industrial
Commission has decided to ascertain the
exact facts regarding the charge that
American manufactures are sold cheaper
abroad than at home. According to dis
patches from Washington, circular let
ters will be sent out to all the business
interests Of the United States, asking
for "a full and frank statement covering
the efforts made to extend consumption
Of products to foreign markets"
Reasons are also requested for selling
goods lower in foreign countries, wher-
ever that Is the case. Suggestions are
also requested as to means for securing
better prices abroad.
After the blunt statement made by
Charles N. Schwab before the Commis-
sion that higher prices were charged
at home for products of the Steel Trust
than In foreign markets, the need for
further Investigation Is apparent. He
freely announced that the tariff was
responsible for the condition Of affairs.
Coupled with the explanation was the
threat that IL the tariff were removed
the wages Of the laborers employed in
the mills would have to be lowered.
Mr.. Schwab was frank when he said
that the tariff was at the root of the
whole matter. He spoke truly in his
premise, though his conclusion was
wrong. The tariff does keep prices Up
I'm America 1t also tends to keep wages
down In foreign countries. Forced to
compete with the protected articles OF

1T is OUR DANGER.

1t should always be remembered that
those American newspapers and individ-
Ials who oppose the American adoption
Of a policy Of Imperialism and the force
able government OF weaker people do SO
because they fear the evil which threat
ems the people and institutions of this
country, not because they are especially
solicitous as to the fate Of the subju-
gated.
The principle under which the Euro
pean policy Of empire Is initiated by he
United States is most dangerous in its
menace to the American people. We
cannot agree that we have the right 10
conquer and forcibly govern other peo-
pies by virtue Of our superior strength
without logically agreeing that the right
Of might prevails NIL down the line in our
own interior political system. The argu-
ments which excuse Imperialism inevi-
tably excuse also forcible government
by dominant majority in this country.
II we agree that the best thing which
could happen for the Filipinos is that
they should come under our rule. the
fact still remains that the worst thing
which could happen for us Is that we ac-
ccpt. As being right. the act Of a strong
majority in deciding that its rule is the
best rule for n weak minority. We say.
In effect. that we arc stronger and more
enlightened than the Filipinos. and that
it is good for them to be governed by us.
We do not listen to any opinion which
they may hold. because it is our logic
that they, being the weaker. are not Gu
pable OF Judging for themselves.
Tine moment we SO Justify policy W.
make the rule applicable to a minority in
this country-to the entire country, In

Heve earnestly that when we assume to
govern these or any other people by v1r-
tue Of our strong-hand argument that
our rrie Is best for them. We strike
deadly blow at American institutions
and American political liberty. The
question is, not that Of wronging an
other people, but Of wronging aud de-
frauding our own people of their birth
rigat. The progress Of tyranny against
freedom Is not hard to foresee. After
public opinion is seduced into q belief
that a supcrlOr race ought to govern.
without constitutional limitations. a
weaker race. there will be no conviction
left with which to combat the contention
that superior class should govern an
inferior class. And. Of course, the ST.

IT'S FOR IRELAND.

st. LOuis's citizens Of Irish birth OF
descent deserve to be heartily commend
ed for the enthusiasm and systematic
intelligence with which they have in
augurated O movement for an Irish ex.
hibit at the Worlds Fair of 1903 that
will be memorable for its beautiful sig
nilcance.
1t Is a very tender and loyal senti-
ment Of devotion to Ireland which in
spires these Americans for the work
which they have undertaken. They arc
proud and faithful Americans, yet they
still cherish in their hearts a love for
the ''green little island" Of their fathers
which makes them finely solicitous for
its fame at such q moment.
Having no place among the world o
nations, Ireland would have no distinct
place in the Worlds Fair II her sons
forgot her. But they have not forgotten.
The Irish exhibit at the Worlds Fair
Of 1903 can be made a very beautiful
and picturesque exhibit, with q senti-
mental interest attaching to 1t which
vii. create a widespread interest. The
st. Louisans Of Irish blood who have
undertaken this exhibit have an excep-
tional opportunity for good work. There
is reason to believe that they will not
neglect the opportunity. It's for Ireland
the Cinderella Of the worlds peoples
and the Irish have knack Of appropri-
ately remembering Ireland.

SpORTLOE KINGS

Apropos the rivalry that is now being
fostered between the horse and the auto
mobile, the question has been asked:
What will be the effect Oil racing il
the new machine Of "speed, durability
and safety continues to improve in the
next few years rs in the past!
For instance. young Vanderbilt in mis-
white auto succeeded I'm making the dust
fly just bit higher and faster than any
other chauffeur last year. Editor Pear
son has arrived in this country from
England and announces that he will
pay $4,000 for a perfect machine that
will move at prodigious rate Of speed.
A fancy price. all will agree. Yet
William Z. Whitney, after a seasons
lease on the winner Of the English Der
by. offered S12O.OOO for the animal with
the unpronOunceable name. The pros
poets are that he will have to raise on
that price to secure the horse. VOlodyov-
ski is an exception, but the winners in
the strings Of keene and Whitney COM
mand prices above that offered by Pear
son for an automobile.
1t Is hardly probable that even the
fastest automobile that may be built
will bring derby-winner prices. At the
most. the curious combination Of ma
ch!nery that goes to compose an auto
mobile can be reproduced by an equal
or less amount Of labor. The material
has definite value that even the new
storage battery Of Edison will fail to
bring to quite such high notch.
Speed In an automobile is shop-made.
This alone Is sufficient to take away
much Of the lively interest that attaches
to well-run horse race. There is lack
ing that element Of chance in the phys
ical condition Of the animal, the ability
Of the jockey and. above all. the beauties
that are SO varying and attractive in a
fleet horse. Until the automobile can
offer something more complex than
mere speed. the love Of sport will un-
dergO no change for the sake Of the
new machine.

ODELL'S ADVANTAGE.

Senator Platt's indication Of Govern
or Odell Of New York as q strong presi-
dental possibility for 1904 is warranted
by existing conditions In the political
situation and strengthened BY Odelrs
exceptional opportunity for the estab-
lishment Of a record which will compel
the next Republican National Conveu-
ton to seriously consider his claims.
The denomination and reelection of
Governor Odeu in 1902 would logically
send his name before the convention
with unusual potency. The fact Of his
second victory in the Empire State
would Of necessity demonstrate that he
had organized and was In control Of a
New York machine capable Of rendering
service Of tremendous value In q na-
tional campaign. This victory will not
be easy for Odell. The fight in New
York. both in 1902 and in 1904, will test
the strength Of both parties to tho ut
most Hence it is that II Oden wins
next year he advances to the center of
the stage as a commanding national fig-
ure. 1t Is probable that Vice President
Roosevelt Is now beginning to realize
what costly tactical error he made in
allowing himself to be nominated for the
Vice Presidency in the Republican Ma
donal Convention Of 1900. His nomi-
nation and election constituted a victory
for his political enemies In the RepLb-
lican party. They thereby removed him
from active personal participation In
New York politics. They placed him in
a national position where he can accom-
plish practically nothing for the ad-
vancement of his presidential ambitions.
1t was crafty play. and Roosevelt's i'm
petuous vanity made him an easy dupe.
The talk Of Odell as the probable nom
inee Of the Republican party in 1904 is
about the only presidential talk which
deserves notice at this early day. He is
the only man in public life holding good
cards for the playing Of a presidential
game. His every lead from now on will
be significant 1t will be interesting to
watch Governor Odell Of New York.
His handling Of his trumps in 1902 may
compel results in 1904.

FRIENDLY AND CONFIDENT.

Worlds Fair Secretary Stevens's re-
port of the deep and vital interest in the
Worlds Fair which he found existing in
the East is encouraging and should stim-
ulate the managers Of that enterprise to
even greater effort.
1t Is undoubtedly true that there has
been a fr.endlier reception Of the move
ment to celebrate the centennial ami
versary Of the Louisiana Purchase than
was the case with the Philadelphia Gen.
tennial Of 1876 or the Chicago Worlds
Fair of 1893.
Accompanying this initial friendship,
there is also q confident expectation that
the Worlds Fair of 1903 is destined to
break all records and to set a new pace
In the making Of international exposi-
tions. The spirit of a new century ami
mates the great enterprise. 1t must be
worthlly historical in its complete show
ing Of the worlds civilization at the
dawn Of 4 new era.
With the selection Of the Worlds Fair
site, the full machinery Of the Worlds
Ealt will be put in operation. From this

WIDEN IT'S SCOPE.

Somehow. il is not possible to read the
story OF that little New York residential
suburb Of Larchmont, where millionaire
citizens work side by side with day Ia
borers as members Of the Larchmont
volunteer fire department. without wish
ing for wider application Of this prac-
tice Of every man doing his simple duty
as a citizen, regardless Of his condition
In life.
If. for instance. the practice prevailed,
not only in LarchmOnt and in volunteer
fire departments, but in American poll
tics. and especially in municipal affairs.
what q vast improvement there would
be In our government 1t would seem
then to our best citizens an honor to
serve their community in public station.
No one would shirk his duty In the way
Of attending political primaries. work
ing for decent candidates. going to the
polls and voting for the best men. The
millionaire would be as careful to per-
form his personal share Of such duty as
is the laboring man.
1t seems almost Utopian to dream that
such things shall ever come to pass, but
let's hope they will. anyway. When yoI
come to think Of 1t, 1t wouldn't be so
hard for each man to do his duty in such
manner. A few minutes of time here

would be kept decent and worthy Of a
