Henry Watterson' caustic criticism
of New York. so-called four hundred,
have brought down upon the head of
that gallant Kentucky gentleman the
wrath of the smart set he so unmerci-
fully scored. And this is not to be
wondered at Even if the "set'' were
guilty of all the colonel said they
would be mad.
The defenders Of the four hundred
declare with great emphasis that Mr..
Wattersen is guilty of libel and that
he cannot prove his statements. One
of the gentlemen who came to the
rescue of New York's leaders in So
ciety, made the statement that this
year they have been very free from
scandal and as for the drinking among
the ladies and the other carvings on
there is no truth to the charge.
Whether Colonel Watterson's strict
ures are based upon foundation, 1t
is true nevertheless that in many

selves to go too far, and their conduct
is not at all becoming. In fact it is de-
moralizing. The women, while not
altogether bad, are yet too free, and
their actions only tend to cause re-
marks that are not altogether compli-
mentary. The women themselves are
to be blamed if such remarks ARE
passed.
Society cannot be any too good. An
immoral person should have no place
in it. Virtue should always be reward
ed. A good woman is to be respected
the woman with face as fair as a
summer day, heart as black as night
and who lures mems souls to the
shores of sin with the light of her
wanton eye should be given no counte-
nance by respectable people.

larger issues of national defense
through education. The ship Of state
is of vastly greater Importance than
the mere navy. Yet, those who direct
attention to the insufficiency of it's
armament are scarcely listened to,
and there is not the slightest effort to
secure scientifically adjusted and or
ganically complete machinery to drill
the crew, which is woefully incom-
plete owing to the terrible absence of
organization and discipline. y
Professor Armstrong recognizes the
value of good scrap pile, and he also
sees plainly that British industrial
control is on the decline. He made
the following statement:
'sWhy can't we follow the example
of the Industrious American manu-
facturer and argee to throw on the
scrap pile our scholastic and academic
ideals if not our schools and school
masters as we'll, and reit along scien-
tific lines?''

KICK OUT THE RoopLERs.

AS the trial of the st. Louis Doodle
gang progresses the more sensational
it becomes Startling disclosures are
made and the truth is stranger than
fiction. Tweed and his. crowd in their
palmiest days are not to be placed in
the same class with the gang that
has been unearthed in the Missouri
town
The state of affairs becomes more
terrible on account of the threats to
assassinate the prosecuting attorney
and it has been found necessary to
place guard around his home during
the night time and he is not allowed
to go about bis duty unattended. A
police officer is always with him.
At that st. Louis is not the only
boodle-gang-ridden city. Other mum
isipalities have been forced to fight
men who sold themselves for gold and
plotted against the people.
The question arises: Can American
cities be governed honestly3 They can
be if the people rise up in their might
and drive out the corruptionists. 1t
would require the courage of men who
have their own and the peoples well
fare at heart. Timid men, no matter
how honest they may be, cannot &C
complish the reform. Men who are
not afraid to act in such cases should
be put to the foe. Men who talk re-
form in the quiet of their homes, but
who are afraid to act in public, are
not wanted in such emergencies.
The youth of the land should not be
taught that money is the all-powerful
thing. They should be inculcated with
the principle that honesty is really the
best and only policy to pursue, not
only in private but public life. There
is a growing tendency among young
men to admire the man who is sue
cessful regardless of what means are
used to obtain that success.
We repeat that American cities can
be rightly governed if the right peo-
pie assert themselves Dishonest men
should be kicked out.

Madison, Wis aldermen are engaged
in war of words over the acceptance
of $75, 600 for Carnegie library, con-
ditioned upon the maintenance of the
same by taxation. This causes The
Milwaukee Wisconsin to suggest the
inference that there are members of
the council who remember the story
of the Oriental potentate who had a
polite plan for running those among
the nobility who happened to fall
under his displeasure. The elephant
there was respected beast, and it
was sacred duty that whoever owned
one should keep him comfortably
housed, fed and attended. This in
volved great expense. So whenever
the shrewd monarch designed to COM
pass too proud subjects financial
destruction, he made the victim q
present of an elephant. The bigger
the elephant the greater was the re-
cipient's distress; but etiquette in
that eastern country forbade that q
gift from the monarch should be re-
fused

WILL NOT Do.

President Roosevelt has proved to
the satisfaction of the American peo-
pie that he can and is willing to dis
cuss the trust problem. and he has
given the trust magnates some things
to think about. He has not discussed
the question in a rampant. anarchistic
style-a style that appears to appeal to
ignorance and prejudice, a style that
is pleasing to one Bryan and his COM
patriots, but he has handled the SUBJ
ject in a business-like manner, laying
before the people propositions that
are entitled to thought and considera-
tion. The president states emphatically
that he will practice what ne
breaches. that if the government is
given the proper authority to deal
with the trusts the law will be en-
forced regardless Of who may be
affected.
There is every reason to believe
that President Roosevelt would put
into practice what he breaches He is
not a man to backup or sidestep when
duty calls upon him to act He has
demonstrated his ability to do this in
times past and he can and will do his
duty again.
The trust is here. It is not a theory

REpUsLIcAN pARTY,s RECORD.

One thing is to promise and the next
thing is to carry out that promise.
The Republican party has in the past
fulfilled its promises to the people. 1t
will continue to carry out that prin-
ciple
William Mckinley gave very good
definition of the Republican party
when he made the following state
ment:
"You do not have to guess what
the Republican party will do. The
whole world knows its purposes. It
has embodied them in law and exc
cuted them in administration.
The Republican party is the party of
sturdy American principles and be-
lieves in progression. 1t has never
taken back track, but pushes for
ward. brushing aside ell obstacles
placed in its pathway by the obstrac-
tionists who do not progress and are
not willing that anyone else should do
so.
The Republican party has never
been ashamed of it's record. 1t has
never sought to hide it's record from
the public gaze. 1t mas never been
forced to say of it's record: "Let us
forget.
1t is not necessary for the Republi-
can party to call up the long past in
order to find record but in recent
years it has achieved much and added
to the lustre that had already made it
shine out brilliantly.
In 1897 the Republican party took
charge of affairs and Immediately
there was revival of trade, and in
dustries that had been clogged again
became active. There was no more
an army of the unemployed moving
across the country, but all were at
work. A year later the country was
plu nged into war which ended sCc-
cessfully for the United States. an op-
pre- ssed people were given their free
dom, and new republics were born.
Out of it all will grow another repub-
lie, the natives now being prepared
for the responsible duties they are to
assume.
Aside from all these achievements
the country has been given stable
currency, the people have taken on
confidence and the march of progress
is moving on apace.
lis there any reason for change in
these conditioner In 1899 the country
was prosperous and there was content
ment in the land For some unex-
plainabIe reason the people wanted a
change. They got it and for four
years they were sorry.
