PERsoNAeEs AND THE PUBLIC.

The friends of Miss Helen Gould are
expressing themselves very freely con-
corning. the rudeness of the general
public. They declare that the curiosity
of the people interfered with Miss
Gould's sightseeing at the st. Louis
exposition. Wherever she went she
was followed by a crowd of strangers
whose sole object seemed to be to stare
her out of countenance. She was COM
PEELED, finally, to go about in a closed
auto and to visit the buildings in the
company of friends who were dressed
exactly like her so that it was impossi-
bic for the crowd to distinguish her
in the party.
Most children are taught that it is
i'll bred to stare and that curiosity is
generally vulgar, and doubtless when
they grow up and become a part Of the
general public they try to remember
this. But in this age of publicity it is
too much to expect that the public will
turn its eyes the other way when a
parsonage passes by. Miss Gouids
philanthropy has become a household
word. When the public has an op-
portunity to see her in the flesh whose
charity has filled columns in the news
papers and the magazines it is useless
to expect the majority of people to re-
member that the lady is sensitive and
does not like to be stared at
In this matter of staring it is proba
BILE that the American public displays
no worse manners than those displayed
by foreign publics. But in the Old
world the curiosity of the public is
gratified in a legitimate way There
are personages over there who con-
slider it one of their minor public du-
ties to permit the general public to
gaze upon them frequently. Here in
America, where every individual re-
CARDS himself both as a king and a
private citizen, the curiosity of the
public is afforded no such legitimate
qualification. No matter how promi-
nent he may become, the citizen feels
that he has a right to resent any OBJ
trusive attention the public may ten
der.
And doubtless he has such a right
but it is useless to expect the public to
pay any attention to it in this in
quisitive age. American personages
might do as royalty does on the other
side, set aside certain days for public
appearances and on the others appear
incognito. When King Edward as
sumes one of his lesser titles and goes
to town, although everybody recog-
nizes the royal countenance. nobody
makes the mistake of staring. The
public respects his wishes because il
knows that there are times when the
king does not object to their curiosity.
They realize the fairness of the ar
rangement. Perhaps American per-
sonages could adopt similar scheme
that would serve as a makeshift until
the millennium arrives when, Of course
nobody will be curious and nobody viii
stare.

What the Editors Say

The Republican party in Wisconsin,
Illinois and Minnesota is in a deplor-
able state of inharmonious "desue-
tude." Instead of making grand fight
for principle, a struggle that threatens
to disrupt the existence and useful
ness of the Republican organization
especially in Wisconsin, is going on
not for any real desire for the success
of vital principle but for supremacy
or defeat of this or that political ia
vorite.-Stillwater Messenger.

The RooSeveltian press has latterly
been tryingcetot counterfeit the recent
congressional speeches against the
president insisting that the criticisms
and Recommendations of Mr.. Roosevelt are
far too ruthless and savage. Its efforts,
however. are met by quoting from the
president himself, for never has there
existed so savage or malignant critic
or so bittersah aSsailant of our presi-
