young man who, admitting that he is

Hazard go to Saltwater, commence
the service of his sentence, have
bond put up and a release granted. and
then have the time pending decision

English Anarchist Roasts Men Who

NEW YORK, March 31.-When John
Turner, the English anarchist, whose
proposed deportation is to be argued
before the United States supreme
court April 4, was asked at an anar-
chistic meeting at Cooper Union last
evening, the plain, direct query,
whether he believed the assassination

the cause of anarchy, after moments

the question. II would be necessary to

question for himself and decide it

vocacy of assassination.

NEWSPAPER DECLARES
BEEF PRICES ARE FIXED AT
DAILY CONFERENCE.
Practices of the Beef Trust Are Made
Public-Packers Assemble
Every Day.

| CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 31.-A local
morning newspaper devotes a page to-
day to conspicuously displayed arti-
Gle alleging convincing proofs of the
existence of a beef trust.
The article mentions the names,
states that the packers assemble every
price of meat for the next twenty-fou
| hours. This is done, it is declared,
while Washington secret service men
are already in the city engaged in the
beef trust investigation, authorized by
congress The article in part states:

reality one of the managers in the
syndicate machine.
Tilden has always evaded prOmi-
hence. but in Packingtown circles his
word is law. and his reputation as a
tnancier is second to none. 1t was
Tilden who gathered together the

pose of throwing inquisitive newspa-

erty and it's uncertain future pre-
vented from impressing in any other
way. The present administration Ia
net confronted by the same necessity.
On the contrary the city of Washington
represents to every foreign ambassa-
dor or minister a powerful and stable
government. There ia no need for il to
ape royalty by introducing elaborate
ceremonials that can have no meaning
in a republic.
But the egregious vanity OF the pres
ent chief executive is soothed by OUT
ward show. 1t Is well known that he
has introduced into the White house
an elaborate system of etiquette that
savors more OF court than a democ-
racy A cavalry escort for prominent
officials and ambassadors when they
leave the capital or enter it is his in
novation, and he is responsible for
other departures from democratic ways
that cannot commend themselves to
the rank and file of the people Edgar
Lee Masters in his recently published
essay on Theodore Roosevelt makes q
statement. however, that even those
familiar with the presidents weakness
fer empty ceremony will be slow to
credit. He asserts that in the reports
of the social functions Of the White
house Mr.. Roosevelt is designated as
''the Presence" If this is true, 1t is
only fair TO assume that 1t is due to
the mistaken zeal OF the presidents
friends.
Every man who occupies high Office
is surrounded by toadies. The Roose-
yelt administration seems to be par
ticularly unfortunate In this respect:
and better balanced man than the
president, if his patriotism was not Of
the highest order might easily be per-.
suaded that he was more important
than the traditions he represents. Had
Mr.. Roosevelt a sense Of humor, he
would rebulze those overzealous friends

write make them ridiculous and must.

ident is not so helpless in the hands
of his friends as the private citizen.
He may rebuke actions the question

even encouraging them, the conclusion
Is thrust upon the public that Mr..
Roosevelt does not consider their adu-

cHlcAeo's SENSE OF HuMoR

The trouble with the Chicago
Amusement association seems to be
that 1t has furnished amusement pre-
maturely. Because Chicagoites are
laughing at 1t new. it is probable that
they will not have the opportunity of
laughing with it on the Fourth of July.
Not only has the associations new
idea Of q 'rubber-heeled" Fourth
touched the risibilities OF the young
idea. but the mirth has been eommu-
nieated to parents so nowadays in the
Windy City it is to laugh.
Chicago's sense Of humor is rather
inconvenient. Every individual over
finds something attractive In the idea
Of comparatively safe and noiseless
Fourth. These would like to see it
tried in big city and Chicago's plan,
or, rather, the amusement >assocfa-
TONS plan, appeared to be an excel
lent one. But it has struck the big
town as exceedingly ludicrous that
anybody should seriously believe that
the toy pistol can be banished, that
the mud can can be put permanently
out Of business and that such a senti-
ment can be created against the giant
firecracker that it will remain unpur-
chased in the shops. The very thought
is tickling Chicago almost to Death
and therefore the amusement associa-
tion's fund is growing but slowly.
He laughs best who laughs last. If
it's plan for making independence day
safe falls through, the association will
have an opportunity of chuckling
grimly to itself when 1t glances it's eye
over a list of the killed and the manned
on the morning after the Fourth. It
will have a chance, too, Of saying. II
told you So" if it is that kind. This
may compensate it for the ridicule it
is enduring now. 1t may, too, encour-
age 1t to try again next year.
HOI eNCH IL ChICdB0 OOeS nOI ENJOY d
safe and noiseless Fourth this year,
ultimately such enjoyment will be Sc
cured to it and to all cities. For the
time will surely come when men and
women will look back with a shudder
to the present barbaric celebration Of
day that commentaries the signing
Of the greatest document a civilized
government has yet produced. A sense
Of humor Is frequently dangerous
thing, but 1T cannot kill movement
as sane and wise and patriotic as the
one which aims to secure a proper
celebration instead Of a desecration of
the Fourth.

WoMAN'S INHUMANITY

A well known feminine writer pub
lished in a prominent magazine last
month an article on woman's inhu-
mantty to woman in which she walked
roughshod over her own sex and ac-
cused them of having no pity nor char
ity for their kind. The discussion that
her contention has made and the let
ters it has brought out to the editor Of
the magazine in which the article ap-
peared make curious and interesting
reading. A few Of the letters agree
with the writer and claim that it Is
only men who evince a kindliness to-
ward suffering or sIandered women,
but several of the letters reproach the
woman writer for the Slight she puts
upon her sisters. The writer said that
women are narrow, uncharitable, jeal-
Gus and merciless to each other. A
severe arraignment, which many wom-
en- resent. The logical woman resents
it because 1t is unjust and too sweep
ing. If the woman writer had said
that too many persons were unchar-
liable and merciless, her claim would
not have stirred up any considerable
discussion.
The mistake of the writer referred
to and many others who criticise wom-
en- especially is that they judge people
in bulk. Women as a whole are not
uncharitable any more than men as a
whole are charitable. There are wom-
en- who will draw their skirts aside
from an unfortunate friend, but there
are many more women who, with
heavenly pity, will take the erring sis
ter to their hearts and try to save her.
There are men who make good friends
to women, but there are also many
whose very friendship would be the
greatest misfortune that could come to
woman In need of aid. The woman
who wrote this adverse criticism OF
women has had small experience of
life If she does not know that many q

friend were 1t not for her husbands

woman will drop from her visiting
list the name of a2friend who has made
a mistake. A.
The trouble with this article, as with
many which crtticise men or women. is
that it is too general. There is no sex
in charity There are pitiless women
and merciless men, but to say that
women in the bulk are this or that ia a
mistake and an injustice. AS one star
differeth from another star in glory so
does one woman differ from another
woman in charity and pity.

The custom of sending q group OF
boys out into the country every sum-
mer under the charge of some com
petent person or persons where they
may enjoy the novelty of roughing 1t is
one that Is growing here in st. Paul.
Many of the churches, particularly
those churches that have boy choirs,
have adopted it. and the boys have
learned to look forward every year to
this most satisfactory Of all boyish
pleasures. Adult members of the
church, interested in the boys and in
their welfare. accompany the party and
their presence serves to maintain dis

At its best, the city is bad place In
which to bring up boy Naturally OF
an investigating turn of mind, ne Is
apt, unless he is very carefully watched,
to learn as much of evil as of good in
his curiosity prompted explorations.
His wits, to be sure are sharpened by
this contact with all forms of city life,
but his mind is not developed and
trained by 1t and his character is fre-
quently weakened. And 1t is not the
neglected boy, only. who learns toe
much of evil on the streets of the city.
Vacations are long and parents with
the best intentions in the world are not
always able to keep their sons off the
streets altogether. These meet idle and
often vicious boys with most disas-
trous results.
A month, two weeks, or week even,
in the country gives the boy a new
point Of view, convinces him that there
are many things he knows nothing
about, enables him to acquire prowess
in pastimes dear to boyish hearts, and
sends him back to the city the better
physically, mentally and morally for
his stay in the country.
In New York state the George Junior
Republic has been the means of re-
deeming many a boy Of the city streets,
and yet it is nothing more than an or
ganization of boys who reside In some
place remote from the city, make their
own laws and obey them. Wisely con-
Quoted camping parties for boys aim
to inculcate respect for law and order
similar to that inculcated in the breast
of every boy who becomes a member of
the George Junior Republic This is
their important feature, for it profits
the boy most. Churches can do no bet
ter summer missionary work than this,
and 1t Is encoura ging to note that every
year shows an increase in the number

Southern Democrats are becoming
restless. They are asking for more

THE SUMMER GIRL ATTACKED

A correspondent, presumably Amer
lean, has written lengthy criticism of
the summer girl as this country knows
her for the London Telegraph. Many
uncomplimentary things are said of
her. "She is known chiefly for her ex-
travagances." says this gentle critic.
"She Is passionately fond of bathing
on the beach. Fer proprieties and con-
ventionalities she has no respect what
ever. She has come from all parts of
the United States to the summer re-
sort, to meet in the course of the sea-
son thousands OF persons whom she
will never know again. AS to who they
are, and whether the accounts they
give Of themselves are true or not, she
knows nothing. She is queen Of a. glo-
rious realm whose air is palpitant Of
orchestral melodies and whose rivers
run Ice cream soda. She takes every
thing as part of the riotous joy Of the
summer"
Had the critic been fair enough to
distinguish between the American sum-
mer girl and the American girl in sum-
mer her excoriation would occasion re-
gret but no hard feeling on this side
of the Atlantic. But because she has
neglected to differentiate between the
two, those who disapprove most of the
summer girl that the comic papers are
fond Of picturing will be the first to
take up the cudgeis In her defense.
There are in reality only few sum
mer girls; all the others are American
girls in the summer. When the critic
declares that "the summer girl and
maple syrup are two Of Americas most
highly priced, indigenous and non
copyable products she overestimates
the Importance of the summer girl and
underestimates the syrup. Such sum-
mer girl as she pictures Is not highly
regarded in America, where the stand
ard Of young womanhood is. just as
high as in England and where it does
not vary with the season.
The comic papers discovered and
then exaggerated the type known as
''the summer girl" She is supposed to
take the same pride in conquests that
the Indian takes in his collection of
scalps, to know no law but her own
sweet will and to go about adorned in
the most conspicuous costumes. It were
foolish to deny that she exists; but
she does not exist in large numbers
and there are fewer of her to be seen
each recurring season. For the Amer
ican girl in summer is taking the place
Of the American summer girl. The
former is a good fellow, but, unlike the
summer girl, she is conventional in her
good fellowship; she is athletic, but
she is womanly. too; and while she
may be and generally is a coquette,
she is not flirt. 1t is too bad that the
critic correspondent of the London Tel
egraph neglected to state that her type
rather than the summer girl type pre-
dominates in this country.

Stampede for Cleveland

There is one man for whom the con-
yention might possibly be stampeded.
His name is Grover Cleveland. But
the fact that German is in chief com

no particular strength of his own be-
yond the fact that he has been con-
sidered an available candidate, un-
