SENSITIVE TO PUBLIC. OPINION.
Political Amenities = Sign of the
Times in the West.
INDIANAPOLIS Journa

Indianapolis Journal.
We think II is always a good sign when
men in public life are sensitive to public
opinion and when they chafe under criti-
cism. For a man of this sort is almost
certain to be careful in his conduct-too
careful, perhaps, at times. But, on the
whole, It is not a bad thing to have a pub
lie man afraid to do wrong. There has
been a recent exhibition Of sensitiveness
to criticism which We cannot but regard
as encouraging. The lower house Of the
Utah legislature has passed a set of
resolutions severely condemning q Salt
Lake paper for publishing an article In
which It was said that members from
San Pete county could change places
with jaekrabbits and the legislature
would be strengthened by the presence OF
their substitutes" OF course, we know
nothing whatever Of the merits OF the
eontroversy-whether the paper did in
justice to the San Pete members or to the
jackrabbits. II we could hear from the
rabbits we might get much light.
But, unfortunately, that cannot be.
Sc we shall have to be content with
human testimony, and there is but little
OF that. We all know that in practically
every legislative body there are men in
ferior to jackrabbits. There have been
such men in our own legislature in the
past; as to the present one we do not
speak. for II has its record yet TO make.
On general principles. we should say that
there is nothing inherently absurd In the
comparison made by our contemporary OF
Salt Lake. And yet. as has been said, en-
couragement is to be drawn from the fact
hat the legislature WINGED under the criti-

cause they recognize the accuracy Of the

But how breezy and picturesque is the
nomenclature Of the westi Here We should
have been content with-saying that the
man attacked was not At to be dog-eatcher,
or tina a yellow dog-always yellow

iackrabbit is substituted, with a great
heighteninE Of the effect. and in place OF
the negative statement that the members
in question are inferior to jackrabbits II
is said that the legislature would be posi-
lively strengthened by the substitution OF
iaekrabbits for the members. Vigorous
political writing this is surely. 1t pull

ALAsKA BOUNDARY COMMISSION.

With Secretary Root, Senator Lodge
and Senator Turner as the American
members of the commission to interpret
the Alaskan boundary treaty, and for
mer Secretary Of State Foster to take
charge Of the presentation Of the case,
there need be no apprehension that the
United States will not be most ably and
faithfully represented. The Views of all
these men are known to be against any
possible dispute Of the old treaty lines
established by Russia and Great Brit
ain I'm the early part of the last century.
Both Secretary Root and Senator Lodge
have maintained that Great Britain has
no reasonable grounds for claiming un-
der the treaty any territory other than
has been conceded all along, while Sena-
ter Turner OF the state OF Washington
is in full sympathy with the northwest
ern sentiment in opposition to the Brit
ish contention. Mr.. Foster has made a
most thorough study OF the boundary
question and In his contributions to its
discussion has argued strongly for the
contention OF the United States. In a
recent article he stated that there are
matters Of uncertainty which must be
determined before the boundary can be
marked upon the surface and that an
agreement can be more easily and sat.

ent state Of uncertainty as to the exact
boundary line should no longer continue.
1t can be very confidently predicted
that the interests Of the United States
will be entirely safe in the hands OF the
American members OF the commission,
which by the way is not for the pur-
pose of arbitration in the ordinary sense
Of the word, but is to consider the treaty
of 1926 between Russia and Great Brit
ain and endeavor to reach IN agreement
as to the delimitation of the boundary
under that treaty. The British commits
sioners have not yet been announced,
but undoubtedly soon will be. Mean
time there is reported to have been
found new evidence strongly favorable
to the American contention.

HERE'S 1

Our amiable democratic contemporary,
the World Herald, does not seem to be
at all pleased over the selections made
by Governor Mickey for the places on
his newly-appointed water board re-
quired under the law to be assigned to
the democrats. The principal burden
of the World-H erald's lamentations is
that the democrats named by Governor
Mickey have not at all times been dyed
in-the-wool Bryanites, not even strict
party men in expressing personal prefer
ences as between candidates for Office.
To recognize a nan as a democrat who
did not vote for Bryan is-a heinous
~offense, hut the fact that one of the
men appointed as a republican happened
at one time to have been a victim of the
free silver frenzy and to have given per,
sonal and financial support to Mr..
Bryan's candidacy, cuts no figure as an
Offset. Perhaps the World-Herald
would have preferred to have had Gov
ernor Mickey appoint the democrats
vOuched for by the Mercer republican
machine. as a reward of their loyal
support of Mercer in the last campaign
as against the regular democratic nom
inee. and to have had the water board
a Mercer board of the same order as
the police board. In this connection it
may be recalled that when a fusion
governor appointed the famous Herd
man police commission, with the I'M
qualified endorsement Of the World
Herald. the requirements of the law for
distribution among different political
parties were made by nominating none
but members of the fusion combination
masquerading under different names as
democrats, populists and silver repub-
licans. The whole hub-bub serves only
to reinforce what The Bee has main
tanned from the start, that there is no
reason or excuse for depriving Omaha
of its right of municipal home rule, and
that the contention that gubernatorial
appointment serves to divorce municipal
business from politics is a delusion and
a snare.

DnMoORACrs hEw LEADER.
BOom fer Judge Parker Reaches the
Betting stage.


Judge PArker's boom for the democratic
nomination in 1904 has reached the betting
stage in New York. Wall street brokers
have laid wagers that he will receive the
prize. The Brooklyn Eagle Of Sunday de-
votes two columns to the subject. written
by 81. Clair McKelway. an enthusiastic ad-
mirer of the Judge. The Bagle believes
democratic thought is gravitating toward
the New York jurist. ''Two things" says
the Eagle. now stand In the way Of Judge
Parkers nomination. One is the reported
grooming Of his candidacy by Mr.. Hill. The
other is the resentment which that belief
arouses in the minds OF the Bryan rem
nRnt.
I'VE do not think these are formidable
obstacles, for they can be explained and
overcome. Judge Parker Is too grateful
and honorable a man to be insensiblo to
what Mr.. Hill has lone for him. He Is
toe large q man to subordinate himself to
Mr.. Hill In any once. Neither an migrate
or q weakling, the Judge would give to
Mr.. Hill the considerable weight to which
he Is justly entitled as a democratic fac
tor, but he would give to no man the con-
troll Of his action or the determination of
his policy. The Bryan remnant will have
to support the nominee, whoever he is, and
take their chances under him, or they
will have to get out. II they get out, their
loss will be more than made good by bet
ter men whom they alone have alienated
from the democratic party"

THE NEW REVENUE BILL.

The rough draft of the new revenue
bill has been completed by the joint
committee of the legislature and its
substance given to the public. The bill
is still subject to modification, and full
discussion Of it's various features, which
require careful study. must, therefore,
wait until the bill is introduced and
printed copies Of it in its entirety are at
hand.
From the outline Of the bill it Is plain
that a number of salutary changes
from the present revenue system have
been agreed upon and various features
added for the more efficient administra-
ton Of the assessment laws and the
lore effective collection of taxes when
once levied. The bill, however. is
drawn with a view to perpetuating the
gross inequality that now exists in the
matter of the taxation of railroad prop
erty within the jurisdiction Of cities and
towns for municipal purposes, by which
the railroads are enabled to hold their
valuable terminals and rights of way
through the hearts of our business and
population centers practically exempt
from city taxation.
In this feature the bill is radically
wrong and contravenes what the su-
preme court of Nebraska declared to be
the most rudimentary principles of jus
tice. In this the bill is directly at
variance with the provisions of our
state constitution, which guarantees
uniformity Of assessment and taxation
Of all property within the Jurisdiction
Of the authority imposing the tax.
We will not believe 1t is the intention
Of the majority of the legislature to en-
dorse the fragrant tax evasion practlced
by the railroads in all our cities, and we
will expect that before the proposed bill
is accepted this odlous feature will be
amended so as to conform with the re-
quirements of equity and equality.

As TO DECENT NEWSPAPERS.
Some Remarks on REV. Parkhurst 81
the Business.
Chgoa-o S1.rnntcIa

Chicago Chronicle.
Lik most other people who know moth.
ing OF newspaper work. DR.. Charles H.
Parkhurst of New York believes that he Is
qualified to publish an ideal daily news
paper. Unlike most clergymen who have
entertained the same ideas, DR.. Parkhurst
does not, however. believe that such a
newspaper should be a professedly religious
journal.
He declares tina his idea would be to print
facts without elaboration or embellish-
ment and to print them for just what they
are worth II they are printable. He would
not suppress news. He would not even
eliminate police court items.
He would not dignity trifes nor would
he minimize important intelligence simply
because 1t happened to be disagreeable or
even shocking. He would discourage sensa-
ton. He would foster public spirit. Upon
such lines would he conduct his newspaper,
and he intimates that several wealthy New
Workers are willing to furnish the funds
necessary for the establishment Of such q
newspaper.
DR.. P~arkhurst's program is unobjection-
able, but it is difHcult to see why he should
start a newspaper in order to carry 1t out.
There are already in New York city sew
eral newspapers which fulfill every re-
quirement specified by DR.. Parkhurst. They
print the news in exactly the style which
he prescribes. They do not magnify vice,
yet they do not seek to dOnv its existence
by suppressing criminal news. They pub
lish the current intelligence of the day at
its true value. They discourage sensation
alism, and they are the opponents Of de-
cent public opinion.
There are, indeed, such journals in every
considerable city in this country. The
yawping, lying, sensational yellow" sheet
is the exception and not the rule. 1t is be-
coming more and more the exception, be-
cause many newspapers m~crnentarily
tempted to adopt yellow" methods have
realized the moral and material inexpe-
diency Of such methods and have returned
to the rational and sensible system which
they temporarily abandoned.
Sensational Journalism, always an appar-
ent rather than a real success, is in its
decadence and true American Journalism
is on a higher level today than ever 1t was
before.
1t Is not, therefore, necessary for DR..
Parkhurst and HIS wealthy parishioners to
expend their energy and their money In an
effort to regenerate the newspaper press OF
the country. A large majority Of the daily
newspapers stand in no need OF such re-
generation, and the small and dwindling
minority which practices the arts OF the
muck raker and the sideshow barker
will shortly be out of business through lack
OF a constituency.
The newspapers OF the United States take
their tone from the people that support
them, and the people Of the United States
are neither gaping clowns nor moral de-
| generates.

The idea OF a graduated scale Of sal
aries for members Of the police and
fire departments is a good one and has
been advocated by The Bee for many
years. We think 1t is a mistake, how
ever, to place the lowest limit for pro-
stationary appointment at sos a month,
as is proposed In the charter amend
ment bill. During our exposition the
management was never at a loss to Sc,
cure good men for the guard force at
$40 a month, and while this would per
haps be a trife low, we feel sure capa-
bic men would be glad to start in as
