COMMENT.
The Foes of Reciprocity.

Philadelphia Press.
The senatorial opponents Of reciprocity with Cuba have
shown a strength and taken a stand which threatens the
defeat of all legislation on the subject. Their exact at
titude is yelled with some obscurity. 1t is now said that
they are opposed to the House bill which was carried
difeTential duty on refined sugar by which they at first
proposed TO hit the Sugar Trust; and that they stand for
Il rebate and rebate alone. If this is correct they are
equally against Republican policy and Democratic ground.
These Senators are wrong. They have assumed a mis-
taken and, as We believe, an indefensible position They
have arrayed themselves against the appeal of the Pres
ident and the sentiment of the country. What is still more
unfortunate and deporable, they have blinded them
selves to the obligations and the mandates of the great
national policy of continental leadership and political
fellowship and commercial bonds upon which our country
entered in 1888. The nation ought to go forward: they
propose that it shall go backward. 1t ought to take the
full advantage of its new relations; they propose that it
shall renounce and throw 1t away.

In n recent editorial the Washington Star takes
occasion to note the hearty desire of American cities
to entertain President Roosevelt in the course of his
autumn tour, remarkins that this desire is felt. by
political friends and foes alike and that it is due to
American respect for the office of President and for
the man who occupies ii. This is the simple truth,
and it was upon this truth that the Business Mems
League acted, through Secretary Saunders, in invit-
ing Mr.. Roosevelt TO visit ST. Louis next September.
To entertain the President of the United States is a
high honor, and st. Louis will appreciate the honor
and see to it that President Roosevelt is welcomed
with 4 cordially and dignity in keeping with the oc-
caSiou.

New York Is Smoky To-day.


Soft-coal smoke is changing the appearance and very
character of the metropolis. 1t is converting it from one
of the cleanest of the great cities of the world into the
dtrtfest. 1t IS blackenins the buildings and beginning
the face of the community. 1t is impairing the value Of
hundreds Of millions OF dollars worth OF unsold merchan-
disc, running household furnishings by the tens of millions,
smearing the face and hands and clothing Of 100000 peo-
pie, driving the home population into the country earlier
than usual and in vastly greater numbers, and keeping
hosts Of people away who would otherwise visit the city
on business and pleasure. 1t is lowering the moral tone
Of the city by furnishing the municipal authorities an ex-
cuse for winking at violations OF laws that were enacted
for the preservation Of the cleanliness and health of the
people. Three weeks more OF the abominatior will fnhict
a loss upon New York from which it VIII take years to
recover.

WHAT OF THE CONTRACTS?

If labor unions expect fair treatment they must
make their own position defensible. Up to the present
time the strike of the Pennsylvania miners has re-
cetved much encouragement and sympathy from the
public, both because of their willingness to arbitrate
and the general peaceful methods which they have
used.
This state of affairs is threatened by the PROPOSE

WILL IT STAND DICTATION?

To-morrow's State Convention of Republicans viii
be instructive TO every citizen of Missouri. 1t will
determine whether the Republican organization is
definitely aligned with the lobby or has the courage
to declare its freedom from this influence.
That this paramount issue is recognized by the
politicians in control of the party is apparent to every
diSinterested person who has kept Informed of condi-
tons. Numerous conferences which have been held
signify much. There is a wider divergence among
the Missouri Republicans than there has ever been
over any distinct issue of principle.
State Chairman Atkins in his convention call has
left no doubt as to the position now occupied by the
party. A few excerpts will furnish i basis upon
which to judge the work of the convention. Read the

In view of facts which have been made public dur
ing the past month. this statement becomes part of
history. May %, a month before the convention
date, a conference was held in the Office of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad. Several of the Republican
bosses were in attendance. Colonel William II. Phelps
was on hand. with Colonel r. C. Kerens, the Re-
publican National Committeeman. Nathan Frank.
proprietor Of a Republican organ and at the head of
the delegation to the convention from the Twenty
second Ward in this city, attended. Former United
States District Attorney E. A. Rozier, who was a
candidate against Chairman Atkins, was there. Frank
D. Roberts, recently appointed a Collector of Internal
Revenue and who was supposed to represent Mr..
Atkins, was among the %conferees gathered by Colonel
Phelps.
Were any deals, intrigues or prearranged States
the result of this conference? Nothing else can eN-
plain the meeting. The next day Nh. Rozier informed
his friends that he was out of the race. The second
day the Republican organs published the reason
therefor. They said that in the conf~erence-which,
be 1t remembered, was held in the offices of the Mis-
souri, Pacifc-an agreement had been made where
by, in consideration Of Mr.. Rozier's withdrawal, the
State Convention would take no action upon the
United States Senatorship. Mr.. Atkins and Mr..
Kerens," announced the Globe-Democrat editorially,
will enter the campaign in perfect harmony"
The fact that the conference was held in the of
fee of the Missouri Pacific and under the direction of
Colonel William II. Phelps was suppressed. How
ever. it was announced that Howard Gray of Car
thage, a relative of Colonel Phelps, would be made
vice chairman of the State Committee and that Kerens
would name three Of the five members of a new
wrinkle called the Executive Committee.
MIR. Atkins repudiated the agreement" claiming
that Mr.. Roberts did not represent him.
Here is a state Of affairs in the Republican party
which leaves nothing to the imagination. The facts
are admitted. Either this agreement" must be re-
.pudiated by the convention and n man nominated for
the Senatorship or the party stands convicted as the
tool Of the lobby.
Unless this is done, the convention will align itself
with the minority in the General Assembly-a minori-
ty which has never faltered in its subservience to
Colonel Phelps and the railroad lobby.
Where does the party stand?
