The COrkmen's Day on.

A reason assigned by one police captain
for the unusually large number of excise
arrests in his precinct has chronological
value 1t is the Madison street precinct,
which includes Cork row, and in which
the number of residents born in County
Cork, Ireland, is proportionately greater
than in any other district of town. Sum
day was the day of the annual excursion
Of the Corkmen, an Irish county organi-
cation of benevolent character, the
amusements of the members of which
are, on the annual excursion, largely OF
an athletic character. Many, if not
most, OF the saloonkeepers in the Madi-
son street precinct are Corkmen, and
while away on Sunday they throw the
hammer, wrestle and test their powers in
long runs, short dashes and middle course
sprints. Their barkeepers, as the police
captain explains, recognizing that the
extreme of the law was the extreme of
injustice, became careless, were indif-
ferent about the delivery of sandwiches
with drinks, served drinks to policemen,
and were arrested.
To the Corkmen's picnic was due an
unwonted interference with what are
sometimes described as the cosmo-
politan habits Of our people, against
which the law of excise is alternately en-
forced or suspended But one thing is
evident. If the saloonkeepers of this
neighborhood are Corkonians, their bar
keepers are not, else they also would
have attended the excursion nothing
could have prevented them--and conse-
uuently the saloons would have been

closed and the law observed. The bar
keepers in tho Madison street precinct,
it is evident, come either from other coun-
ties or from other countries, and they
lack the mingled shrewdness and watch
fulness which characterize Corkmen the
world over.
1t requires in the saloon business man
of much astuteness to steer clear of the
shoals and pitfalls Of excise law observ-
ance in New York, but after days
athletic sport, with medals and prizes
to testify to their prowess and proficiency,
the returning Corkmen resumed the posi-
lions which the barkeepers had been
compelled, by the strong arm Of the law,
TO vacate, and we are not likely to hear
of wholesale excise arrests in the Madi
son street precinct for year at least
until the next excursion Of the Corkmen.

Mother Jones May Have a Chance

There seems to be reason for believing
that Mother JONES will, after all, be
received at Oyster Bay. The discussions
of the Secret Service men are to be de-
sisted from and the representative OF the
striking textile workers of Philadelphia
may have an opportunity OF laying their
grievances before the President.
And why not? The President is the
last man to permit sense OF personal
embarrassment to sway him from the
fixed path Of what he conceives to be
right. Mrs. JONES says she is the accred-
tied representative of thirty-five thou
sand unemployed weavers. The Mayor
of Philadelphia certities that they are
honest and God-fearing citizens and that
since they went out on strike they have
committed no murders, have beaten or
mutilated none, have blown up nothing
with dynamite, tuit, on the contrary, have
obeyed the laws and waited peacefully
for the refrigeration Of what they think
is their due.
If the President could receive at the
White House the representatives OF law
lessness, bloodshed, anarchy and outrage
in PENNSYLVANIA, the men under whose
influence that State was disgraced, If he
could receive them and compel their I'M
fortunate employers to confront them at
a bar Of his own devlsing, why not
receive Mother JONES? She is a re-
spectacle woman. She is sent by people
who want a grievance, real or fancled,
redressed and who wait patiently for
help and guidance. She does not repre-
sent three hundred thousand votes In
a great and important State, and 1t is
true that il her comparatively small
group of weavers vote they do so in
Philadelphia, where votes do not count
because they are counted. Mr.. RoosE-
WELT will not make fish Of Mother
JONES and fowl of the Pennsylvania
miners.
This practice of according receptions
to the elements of disturbance and social
upheaval, this welcoming to the White
House of the representatives Of social
revolution whether they come rom
Pennsylvania, or Montana, or Philadei-
phia, betokens generous and liberal
mind, heart beating with sympathy
for the organized form Of toll and that
steadfast and resolute hostility to wealth
and the occasions Of affluence which
have so endeared Mr.. ROOSEVELT to the
masses. 1t has its awkward side, 1t IS
true; and it somehow seems to depart
from the Spirit of the Constitution and
that notion of the supremacy of the Writ
ten Law which is perhaps growing obso-
lete. All the same, once embarked upon
it must be persisted in and adhered to,
And that to the bitter end.

Canada's Race Problem

Whoever it may have been that first
discovered Canada, the Frenchman,
JACQUES CARTIER. was the first to estab-
lsh a definite and permanent foothold
in that country. That was in l534-5-6
In 1903 CHAMpLAIN followed CARTIER
and extended the area of French pos
session. During the first quarter Of the
seventeenth century there began those
o,larrels between the French and the
English settlers on the Western CONT
nent the echoes of which have not even
vet quite died away. The French held
the mastery until the time Of WOLFE s
defeat Of MoNTcALM at Quebec, and the
signature in 1853, of the Treaty of Paris,
by which France coded and guaranteed
to his Britannia Majesty, in full right,
Canada with all its dependencies.
For a time the French population
showed an enormous majority over the
English. This was partly Offset by the
thousands of loyalist emigrants and
refugees who left the American colonies
during and after the American Revolu-
ton. But this influx divided the Cana
dian area into two semihostile camps,
the French of Lower Canada and the
English Of Upper Canada, and it was not
until the federation of 1867 that there was
a clearly defined political coalition.
The points Of friction which developed
during that protracted period of racial,
religious and political antagonism are
not yet wholly obliterated. In the
minds of thousands of the descendants
OF those early French settlers, the only
Canadians are those of French extrao-
ton. To them Canada for the Cana
dams has not the meaning which it has
for lis. To them it is Canada pour les
Canadiens, and they are the Canddiens,
Although of French blood, and although
their language is that of the France of
earlier days, they are not French, and
many will even resent it il one calls them
Frenchmen. There is no loyalty to the
land of their extraction. They are SIM
ply Cdnadiens, and although the life Of
the old habitants Of the eastern provinces
is fast yielding to the effects Of modern
life and modern institutions enough re-
mains to keep it distinct in its quaintness
and picturesqueness. The old clannish-
ness is being modified but it remains,
and will be for years to come, fac
tor Of Importance in the social and po-
,tical life of Canada.
It's most serious effect is to cause some
political confusion. 1t is an element
which must be taken into every politi-
cal cons Iteration That which may be
called the French element constitutes
about one third of the present population,
Its special preponderance appears in the
Province OF Quebec, which includes the
city Of Montreal as well as that OF Que
tHc Scores Of thousands of FRENCH Co.

nance relating to street preaching. That
ordinance now provides that only clergy

change gives this right also to any per-
son who is responsible to, or Is regu-
larly associated with, church, mission
ary association or missionary society in

cant shall obtain written permission from
the Mayor, the Chief Of Police or the

societies, is that " very large proportion

The abandonment of the Waterboy and
McChesney race, to have been run yester-
day at Brighton Beach, has keenly disap-
pointed thousands of American sportsmen.
They had set their hearts on seeing a match
between these two great thoroughbreds,
and the admirers Of each were confident of
a victory which would determine conclu-
sivey whether Waterboy or McChesney is
the best four-year-old in this country.
In view Of the statement of DR.. SHEP-
PARD, the veterinary surgeon, we are forced
to believe that the Western challenger ac-
tually met with slight accident which
caused him to 90 lame There was nothing,
however, in the doctors report TO indicate
that the horse would not be himself again
in few days Lameness arising from
brtise such as he seems to have received is
usually a matter of trifiing consequence
which may be speedily alleviated with care
full nursing. Mishaps similar to McChes-
ney's cause racehorses to pull up lame"
almost daily, and within a few days after
ward they come out and win.
II McChesney is to meet Waterboy in a
match race--which now seems improbable
it will have TO be at Saratoga. For those
who are eager to know which is the better
horse there is at least this consolation;
II McChesney starts in any one OF the five
big races at the Spa for which both OF these
champions are eligible, he will be forced TO
encounter Mr.. HAaGIN's famous colt II is
TO he hoped that no more stones or pebbles
or what not will get in McChesney's path
until he has proved, on an Eastern track,
whether or not he belongs IN the same class

A Hopeless Sufferer.

At a Chicago picnic given for the pur-
pose Of launching the Hon. CARTER
H. HARRIsoN's boom for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President, the Hon.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN of Fairview
Farm emitted composition on The
Democratic Ideal Some sentences of this
composition seem to have been extracted
from Mr.. BRYAN's early literary and
rhetorical exercises at Whipple Academy
and Illinois College. For example:
The Ideal controls the life and gives 1t not only
direction but form and consistency.
An Ideal permanently pursued crystalnzes into
character and becomes vital part OF the indi-
vidual."
In illustration Of these original and
ripe ideas, Mr. BRYAN proceeded to show
that the Kansas City platform had be-
come vital part of him and should be
the ideal of the Democratic party:
NO political principle Is worth hghtng for that
is not worth suffering defeat for and as matter OF
fact. ones devotion to principle must be measured
by what he Is willing to suffer In Its behalf not by
the reward he Is willing to accept for supporting H."
Mr.. BRYAN wants the Democratic
party to continue to suffer and to post
pone success. That is his ideal; and
there can be no objection to his suffering
as long and as much as he pleases. His
party has suffered enough and would
enjoy little success as a change. Mr..
