PERMANENT PUBLIC WORK.

That the taxpayers favor public improvements.
when convinced that the work will be done well and
promptly, is shown in the present demand for street
reconstruction in all parts Of the city. Not long
while ago remonstrances regularly filed against
proposed work; now property owners are taking the
initiative in requesting Improvements.
Since the Wells administration has been in control
Of municipal affairs contracts have been made for
than eighty miles of street work, the aggregate
cost of which will exceed 81, 000,O00 Yet the Board
Of Public Improvements has the unusual and happy
experience of receiving petitions from property owners
for work that will cost another I,000,000\
The change in popular sentiment indicates the pro-
gressive spirit that is constructing the New ST. Louis
disagreement taught the people the necessity for
good government and good government, inspiring
fdence illustrated the value of public Improvements.
All that the voters and taxpayers desire is that their
money shall be invested and not wasted The admin
israton has proved itself worthy Of confidence, and
the people are giving it strong support.
Contracts have been awarded this year for fifty
miles of street paving; public work of permanent
nature. OF the S79 miles of street about $50 miles
improved, but not all Of the Improvements represent
what is cassed as permanent work. The Intention Of
Mayor Wells and President Phillips of the Board of
Public Improvements is to make as many improve
ments possible during the remainder of their
and set pace which will assure the completion of all
streets in systematic way within few years.
Street paving costs money. But the benefits de-
rived from good streets warrant the expense. The
citizens understand that the improvements give pri
vate well public, advantages, and there every
prospect that they will not be satisfied until all thor
oughfares permanently improved. The New ST.
Louis must be well-paved city.

LOOKS LIKE 4 MISTAKE.

Shrewd and experienced students of political af-
fairs will entertain serious doubts as to whether it
means the realization of Mr. Roosevets ambition to
he elected President that he has seen fit to cinch
his nomination year with vigorous personal use
of the machine
The public sentiment developed by the Presidents
personal interference in Ohio for the purpose of ad-
vancing his own political fortunes is the least favor
able that Mr. Roosevelt has known for some years.
1t seems, indeed almost if he now appears before
the people in an entirely character. He has in
the past been a determined and aggressive fighter.
just as he is to-day but he is President of the
United States and it was the power attaching to this
office which made him capable of debating the forth
coming action of the Republican State Committee in
Ohio. The people behold him as President taking
steps in his own behalf as candidate which tend to
lower the dignity of the presidential office.
The natural popular resentment of this course. even
in tie case of Il man so we'll liked is President
Roosevelt begins to make itself felt with undeniabe
force 1t may be taken for granted that Mr.. Roose-
vets enemies will leave nothing undone to profit by
this change of the peoples attitude toward him. They
have more than year in which to work injury to his
candidacy 1t is already being pointed out that an in
dorsement by the Ohio State Convention in 1903 is
not necessarily binding upon the party in 1904 While
the chances are still Overwhelmingly in favor Of Mr..
Rocsevelt's nomination. the cold fact remains that
next wear he is have materially lost strength
with the people, this truth will be vigorously urged
against him.
Political wisdom and high regard for the presi-
dental dignity would alike have prevented Mr. Roose-
vets personal entrance into the Ohio fight He would
have been stronger before the pe if he had refused
TO exert his official influence for his own profit His
recent action Immediately successful though it was,
now begins look like mistake. The President is
as highly esteemed to-day as he was week or so
ago His insistence upon an Ohio Endorsement of his
candidacy this year may yet develop into something of
boomerang by next year.

BUSY WITH DISCUSSION

After the manner of contagious malady the negro
question has spread, "ravaging' the entire country.
The West and Northwest have it. The Middle States
varously affected. In the South original seat
Of the concern strange to say it is manifest in its
mildest form.
Not so in the East and North. In these sections
sort of negrophoba prevails. In the forum of poll
tics the lecture PLATFORM rhe pulpit and notably
in the press. the question is uppermost Scarce an
issue of prominent Northern and New England pub
licaton but contains some dissertation upon it. Even
England and the Continental countries evince some
curiosity and friendly interest over cur topic. Oc-
casionay there is heard opinion that it is howl
about nothing, or that it is all no purpose" but
broader anG saner view holds otherwise. 1t would
be unreasonable to suppose that all of Americas
cent thought upon matter lying closely to its every
day existence and related closely destiny has
been or is being wasted
Even there is evident direction to the coun-
trys thought In the mass of writings and discus.
sons there is observable growing trend towards
definite recognition of the inherent racial differences
which set the negroes and their development upon
plane by themselves.
Opinion is moving towards common accord, and
here it is to be noted that unanimous solution Of
the negro difficulty would tend. perhaps nothing
else could further TO eace sectional distinctions and
draw closer the ties of union between all parts of the
United States.
Even at the fresh revival of the question many
months ago there manifest far less sectional
prejudice thar might have been expected The
of the South have increased in moderation and
IL the North and East which by their lively interest
have been largely responsible for prolonging the dis
cussion, there is notwithstanding many of the old
pronounced opinions and some relic of antagonistic
sentiment, honest effort look with unprecedented
eyes and to credit the Souths intimate knowl-
edge of the negro. 1t is in the East and the North
that the question receives its greatest attenionhere

underneath the noise and the blders there
the desire to know and think truly; the spirit Of
reasonableness
With reasonabeness upon side and truth and
moderation upon the other there be doubt
that eventually opinions will coincide. And when
America shall have fully made up its mind the negro
question will be virtually settled
