RECENT COMMENT.
Germany In South America.

In 1900 an American went to Berlin study GER

Germany would not rest content until she had obtained

"A colony. but coalng station. yes the German
interrupted.

will get coalng station. You the Monroe
Doctrine would not permit it You will get your
coalng station uni" and the American hesitated.

TRACK DEPRESSION.

Solution of the surface-track nuisance. / most
dangerous and ugly nuisance, is partly prolsed in
the arrangement made by the Wabash and Rock
Island railroads to take up several tracks tint pass
through the West End residence district andto de
suit Of suggestions that were pressed byNIayor
Wells, committee Of citizens owning properuin the
section and the Civic Improvement League.
The roads concerned have shown a re@d for
public spirit in meeting the requests of citizen From
a railroad standpoint the interests involve were
probably considerable in some ways; vet meaR We're
found to effect compromise fair basisind all
parties are no doubt satisfied
There was probability that property adeent to
converted to railroad for tracks yards ad shops
The surface tracks already down were dans1ous to
life and blemishes the landscape. Their, was a
prospect that yards like those in Mill Creei Valley
would come into existence in of the hst and
cleanest and wealthiest sections Of the city.
If the Municipal Assembly will pass biltI to au-
thorize the plans set forth in the agaement.
an existing nuisance will be remedied anddan i'm
pending nuisance will be prevented Thelgeneral
plans commendable; they are advautakou to
public, corporate and private interests. /
Public spirit is becoming so energetic in 8 Louis
that it takes the form Of diplomatic action ind has
acquired the perseverance born of convictol which
almost inevitably insures success. The few St.
Louis will certainly be happy reality with she peo-
pie, private corporations and civic associates back
ing up the administration in plans for It'd public
good.

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR.
THREE MORE JUDGES UNNECESSARY.

THREE MORE JUDGES UNNECESSARY.
There is no necessity for three additional Circuit
Judges in st. Louis One, contemplated by the
Juvenile Court bill, would suffice. The proposed
Juvenile Court would not require the whole time Of a
Judge. He could assume regular Circuit Court du-
ties WELL relieving his fellow Judges The duties
of Chcago's Juvenile Court, necessarily more exten-
sve than those of court would be- do not occupy
the entire time OF one Judge.
But there is no evidence that our Circuit Judges
need even small measure Of relief. They by
means overburdened. They work no longer than
the judiciary of other cities Nor is there prospect
of increased duties in the near future.
The volume of litigation is not increasing in St.
Louis, if indeed it is elsewhere. The tendency is
toward decrease. To-day the volume is not greater
here than it five years ago. notwithstanding the
great increase Of business in the community.
By far the larger number of legal disputes are
settled out Of court and the proportion is constantly
growing. Only the most aggravated commercial diff
ferences find their way into court Personal dam
age suits constitute the biggest percentage of
the dockets.
Trials occupy far less time at present than for
merly and the time is being shortened the system
Of handling cases is brought toward perfection
Brevity and expedition characterize the proceedings
OF modern courts.
Though the public will probably always complain
of the slowness of justice it is observed by thought
full lawyers that too prompt trials do not best sub
serve the ends of Justice However this may be-
trials may be had in ST. Louis within a reasonable
fine after the filing Of suit, and compared with
the rule in other cities, notably Chicago the time is
exceedingly short

NATIONAL GUARD APPROPRIATION

In agreeing upon an appropriation Of 100000 for
the maintenance Of the National Guard Of Missouri
during the next two years the House Committee on
Appropriations has properly recognized the duty Of
the State toward its militia forces.
The amount specified while largely in excess of
any previous appropriation is in reality moderate
proportion to the National Guard expenditures of
other States of Missourfs importance and wealth.
Illinois, for instance supports large militia estab-
lshment with wise generosity. Pennsylvania, Ohio
and many other States of the Union spend hundreds
Of thousands annually for National Guard mainte-
nance. New York leads the country in this matter
Of liberality toward the State militia and the result
has been eminently satisfactory.
An appropriation Of 100000 by the Missouri
Legislature is especially gratifying because of its
significance of friendlier spirit toward the National
Guard of the State For many years the conviction
was cherished that money expended in this manner
was wasted and as a result, there has been but a
niggardly support Of the Missouri militia. The var
ous military organizations were compelled to seek
assistance elsewhere than from the State In the
large cities regiments have been maintained by con-
tributions from the business interests. but at its
best, the Missouri National Guard has been only a
skeleton organization, continually in danger of dis
solution owing to lack of adequate support.
As logical result Of the more generous spirit
how being manifested it is certain that there will be
a gratifying increase Of National Guard interest and
enthusiasm during the next two years. Young men
win be encouraged to enter the military service of
their State and fit themselves to perform the duties
|of soldier in of need. The officers now hold
ling commissions, many of whom have served for
years under the most dispiring conditions will be
stimulated to increased effort for the good of the
National Guard organization. An improved dsci-

CONCENTRATION IS EFFICIENCY

Missouri, now established in rank among fhe first
States Of the Union, cannot too soon bestot atten
ton upon a general concentration of Stateibenevo-
ence which is essential to further preeminlce and
enlightened progress.
A State, a distinct Individual entity hust be
known and Judged largely by it's institutions and of
these chiefly by its educational institutions Nothing
in Missouri has greater representative tllue as
well actual value to the States people than its
university at Columbia and the Rolla School Mines
The development and permanence of tiese and
other institutions necessary to the general economy
Of great commonwealth depend upon a vile broad
but not necessarily too generous policy of state aid
and maintenance.
That policy should first of all be one of breserva-
ton. Our university School of Mines normal schools
and asylums should be carefully retained al valuable

present preservation and development of ihe costly
properties in the States keeping.
In this connection it is urged that proposed meas
threatening interference with the colateral in
heritance tax and dimnution of the univetity's and
School of Mines incomes, two of which measures are
under consideration by legislative csnmittees
ought to be promptly defeated.
The policy should be one of development. bringing

Doubtful features of the Juvenile Court bill hav-

public approval and should be enacted into law. As
it stands the bill provides for the detention trial and
punishment Of Juvenile denquents apart from the
adult criminal 1t also provides for jurisdiction in the
of homeless children, those deemed ncorrigibe
by parents and those criminaly abused detained.
