will be willing to bear the brunt of the
storm for the sake of shielding the really
guilty ones? When the revelations of
corruption were first made it was d;s-
closed that the wrong was done not
merely by few cheap rascals in Office,
but by many very rich and potent rascals
on the outside who corrupted the officials
and through that corruption robbed the
city. Some of the "best people" many
prominent citizens not few "cap-
tains of industry" quite lot of "emi-
nent financiers, were found in the wood
pile when it was first overturned in search
of the proverbial "nigger." A good
many of those gentlemen of light and
leading left town as soon as the dis
closures were made some went for health
some for pleasure, some for business,
and doubtless some went for the corona
ton. 1t would be difficult and perhaps
impossible to gather in all the scattered
clan, but If St. Louis be in earnest she
might catch enough of them to start a
Penitentiary Four Hundred and teach a
better lesson than can ever be taught by
Grand Jury reports.
OF course no other American city can
point with scorn at St. Louis or revile
the futility of her grand juries with
their reports that bewail but indict cot
The issue is one on which she will have
more of sympathy than of mockery. No
other city in the country may have Jared
SO badly, but all Of them have been
through the mire. If, then, it be true
that St.. Louis has suffered more than
others, she has a chance to redeem
herself by being more resolute and more
successful in cleaning her skirts and
Furnishing the guilty.

The st. Louis Issue.

Out of the Investigation into the secrets
Of the past municipal administration in
that city, the st. Louis Grand Jury has
brought to light facts which lead it to
say: "While there may have been cor
ruption in other cities as great as we
have had here, yet at no place in the
world and at no time known to history
has SO much official corruption been IN
covered and the evidence shown so that
all could SEQ and understand. These
revelations have been 20 appalling as to
be almost beyond belief, and it will be
years before the extent of the discoveries
Is fully realized."
Those are strong words, but they are
not the first of the kind that have come
from st. Louis since the first revelation
was made of the br'ber, Of city officials
for the purpose Of obtaining from them
street railway franchise. 1t is time for
St. Louis to do something more than to
publish a story of her official shame. The
issue before her people is one of action.
The country has been told often enough
that the taxpayers have been robbed,
that public franchises have been sold,
that municipal money has been wasted
ard that the confidence and the interests
of the people have been BETRAYED by
their representatives in office. That
which the country DOW whistles to know
10 what St. Louis is going to do about it.

some effort at bringing the rascals to

of three supreme court judges, and a

any doubt, the ring has picked out the

Taft at the Vatican,

The text of the instructions to Gov
ernor Taft regarding the friar lands in
the Philippines shows the care with
which public documents are prepared in
the War department. The manner of
publication is an illustration of the per-
feet working of the system for safe
guarding public interests.
No mission of an American official
ever caused more discussion than Gov
ernor Taft's visit to the Vatican. 1t was
known that he was to confer with the
Vatican authorities on the disposition
OF the friar lands, and it was intimated
that any definite instructions might
bring the administration into conflict
with congress. 1t was contended also
that in sending Governor Taft to confer
with the Pope the United States govern
ment was countenancing a movement to
establish diplomatic relations with the
Vatican.
The publication of the instructions at
that time would have removed all doubts
on both points. But Secretary Root
said only that Governor Taft's mission
was not diplomatic; that he went to
Rome on business matter, and that
his instructions precluded any encroach-
ment on the prerogative of congress.
But as soon as the instructions had
been presented to the Vatican officials
they were sent to the senate and were
published
The instructions were prepared on
May 9, while tho Philippine bill was un-
der discussion in the senate, and, there
fore, in the absence Of specific authority
from congress, are made tentative in
character and are limited to fuudamen-
tai propositions.
The Catholic church in the Philip
pines is to give up state functions, the
principle Of complete separation of
church and state is to be in no way
modified or made the subject of discus
sion, the titles of the friars to certain
lands are to be extingu!shed after fair
compensation and in accord with prin-
ciple looking to ownership of the lands
by the people. The Roman Catholic
church is asked to continue its religious
and educational work in the Philip
pines through other agents than the
friars, who have made themselves OBJ
noxious to the Catholic Filipinos.
1t is specifically stated that Governor
Taft's mission is not in any sense or de-
gree diplomatic in its nature, but "is
purely business matter OF negotiation
for the purchase Of property from the
owners thereof and the settlement of
lands in such manner as to contribute
to the best interests of the people of the
islands,"
There is absolutely no flaw in the in
even from the viewpoint of
the most sensitive congressman or the
most captious churchman. They con-
stitute an admirable public document
drawn to meet case without precedent
in our history, covering negotiations of
the greatest delicacy and importance. in
with the recognized princi-
pies of traditional American policy.

Honesty and SIS a Week.

Judge Dune, of Chicago. has made a
decision which is of much interest to
persons employed in fiduciary capacity
at less than $50 week. A collector for
a prcking firm was charged with embez-
element. His salary was sl5 week
Sometimes his collections would amount
to $1,000. The prosecution wanted to
have him sent to the penitentiary. The
judge was more mercifuI, but his lenity
seems to have been due to essentially
fallacious reasoning:
when you gentlemen ask man to
take such responsible position at such
a small salary and where he is called on
in the performance of his duty to collect
such large amounts of money, knowing
that he has wife and two small chill
dren. you are simply inviting him to
commit a crime, or at least exposing
him to temptation. l cannot permit
him to be sent to the penitentiary. l
will fix the amount of the shortage at
sl4 and sentence him to the county Jail
for thirty days. l believe West is a
good man. Had his salary been even
s. more he would never have been ex-
posed to temptation and the strength of
the invitation to commit crime would
have been lost on him."
Now the man may be good man. He
insisted that there were credits" to his
account more than sufficient to Offset
the shortage. He had found other en-
ployment at 500 q month, and there
was no trouble about his accounts until
after he left the packing concern of his
own motion. We are willing to assume
that he is an honest man and not in the
least deserving Of the county Jail. Not
he but the judges theory OF honesty is
to be criticised. 1t is a theory often
put forth by sentimental lsymen, es-
pecially in the case of embezzling bank
officers whose salaries were small.
"What a shame that men who handle
such immense sums Of money should
get 50 little! l don't blame them for
stealing. Id steal myself if l We're in
their place."
Comments of this sort are familiar.
Judge Dunno substantially pre- mulgates
this theory from the bench. An em-
ployer must not expose his employees to
If they get only els q
week, they may be expected to yield to
the temptation and embezzle. An en-
ploye who gets go q week must have
moral fibre enough to resist temptation. |

who want an excuse for yielding to

nal delegates with proxies who can af-
ford to go much farther in serving the
gang. In running the Democrat party
of Missouri proxies represent the maxi
mum of dirty work and the minimum of

which they come, Nothing rejoices the

a large number of additional delegates

element, who have only their honest pro-
portion of delegates. But, worst Of all
it has long been the custom of the Dem
ocratic state chairman to 60 to large
corporations and agree to favor them in
the next legislature in exchange for large
slices of campaign cash. If the usual
Democratic plan has been followed, the
legislature that will be elected next No

Who Makes Our ButtonsP

Before 1850 We bought nearly all our
buttons in Europe. Before 1890 no fresh
water peal buttons were manufactured
in the United States. Now We manu-.
facture all of our fresh-water pearl but
tons and large per cent of all the but
tons used by Americans. In 1890 there
were LOG button factories in this country
There were 23S in 1900, having capital
of S4,2lO,OCO, using materials to the
value of s., S03. 600, and turning out a
manufactured product valued at 1885,
900.
In 1886 Austria Hungary exported to
the United States pearl buttons to the
value of 81 .681 200. The next year our
Consul General in Austria Hungary re-
ported that, as pearl buttons could not
be manufactured by machinery. but
must be made of necessity by hand, the
industry could never thrive in the
United States.
Austria that year sold in the United
States buttons to the value of 81 ,6l2 900.
In 1900 the Austrian exports of pearl
buttons to the United States were val
ued at only s36, 66l, and the Consul Gen
eral reported that pearl buttons could
no longer be regarded as one of the
principal Austrian exports, because Of
the development of the pearl button in
dustry in the United States.
In 1890 there was not q single fresh
water pearl button made in the United
States. In that year resident of Iowa,
who had learned the button trade in
Germany, organized company to util-
ize the mussel or niggerhead shells
banked up for miles along the Missis-
sippi and other rivers. The material
cost very little. and when this Iowan
had perfected his machinery he had
profitable business, and 1t extended rap
idly to other states. In 1900 there were
50 establishments manufacturing fresh
water pearl forms and buttons. Seven
of these were in Illinois, 35 in Iowa, five
in Missouri and live in other states.
In 1900 there were manufactured in
the United Stats 2l.254.OOO gross Of
buttons. Of these 297 $50 gross were of
bone, l,372, so of cloth, 2.4O7 ,3l9 of COM
position, 717,O47 of horn, 3.7l3,14i of
brass, 1,O46,5 27 of other metals, Dos, 5S4
of fresh water pearl, 4,O49. 462 of ocean
= ODD - 10 e On0
of wood, TO-, OS6 of celluloid. and 496, 7s6
of paper.
In 1892 we imported buttons to the
value of 81, 10000. In 1900 the value If
all button importations was $685. l2.
The greatest decrease in importation
was in agate and in pearl or shell out
tons.
Pennsylvania is the center of the bone
button industry, Connecticut and New
York of brass buttons. Massachusetts of
cloth buttons, Iowa and Illinois of fresh
water pearl buttons, Connecticut of horn
buttons, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania of ocean pearl buttons,
New Hampshire of paper buttons. New
Jersey of tin buttons.
As the l,74S.S46 pounds of ocean pearl
shells used in the manufacture of but
tons in 1900 cost $500, 5S4, and as the L.
S3Oll2 pounds Of fresh water mussel
shells cost only s23S!O46 and the 1882
72O pounds of vegetable ivory cost only
s275.226 ali these branches of the but
ton industry were lucrative.

Germany's Corn Laws.

1t seems strange that any country in
this enlightened age, should pass laws
to make food more dear. especially when
the kind taxed is not grown in that
country sufficient to supply the demand.
1t is always dangerous experiment to
levy a direct tax on bread and meat, as
England found out to her cost in the
early part of the nineteenth century.
But Germany, it seems, is determined
to repeat the stupid English blunder,
which came near creating a revolution
and led to an agitation that eventually
forced all political parties to call halt.
1t would be a good idea for Emperor
William to force his leading statesmen
to 60 back and read the speeches of
Goblet and others attacking the noto-
torious "corn laws" and if they should
devote a little time to studying Adam
Smiths wealth of Nations" they
might get some ideas of value to the
German people if carried out in legis-
lation
These remarks are called forth by
statements in the cable dispatches that
the tariff committee of the German
reichstag had voted to advance the
duty on Indian corn from 30 cents to
sl.25 per 100 Kilograms, which is nearly
equivalent to go pounds. Like many
other of the commuters actions, this
one was opposed by the government.
There is no home grown corn to be
protected in Germany, SO that some
surprise may be felt that this effort to
raise a barrier against the imported
article. But the committees decision
really gives a most instructive illustra-
ton of the aRrarian designs and agra
rian temper. Corn is put under the ban
simply because it is a competing food.
Its consumption diminishes the con-
of other foods which the agra.
rams have to sell. and SO interferes with
their monopoly for the promotion of
OF late, too. the consumption has
been large. greatly to the profit Of this

caused falling off in the IMPORTS from
the United States in 1901. For three
wears the figures are as follows:
