The Better View.

Bishop Satterlee's words regarding
the menace that Washington society
is - the nation are only mildly
echoed by the ministers of the city,
who presumably know the conditions
fully as we'll as the Bishop.
Rev. Roland Cotton Smith says
that materiaIism is spreading, and
adds: TT is true that there is a
great laxity in morals in this day
and generation, and this is as true in
Washington as elsewhere"
Society is a very vague term ac-
cOrdiHg to Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin,
who declares: There is a small ele-
ment in Washington who devote
themselves to amusement, and there
seems no doubt that much excess
prevails in this city"
If critics of Washington wish to be
just they must take account Of the
cosmopolitan character, of the city.
All nations gather here, and all sorts
Of manners and customs thrive. One
people cannot be fairly judged by the
conventional moral standards of an
other people. The pious Buddhist
would be as morally offended by
things we do with complete inno-
cence as we should be by things he
does with equal innocence
Far more important than what
men and women do, IS what they are
and how they think. Are they Vi
cious, mean, selfish? Are they busy
bodies and mischief-makers? Is their
attitude toward life and living de-
structive rather than constructive?
Are they perverted or degenerate in
their tastes? Are they hypocrites,
time servers or moral towards?
Those are the men and women who
really devitaliZe the moral life of a
city, though their outward confor-
nation to the conventions may be
most impressive compared with the
laxity Of some. who possibly honestly
disapprove Of conventions.
Washington is the abode of repre-
sentative thinkers and publicists from
all over the world. and it is reason
able to suppose that Washington is
! in consequence freer from mental
miasma than even the average city
Moreover. the facts prove it. The
police blOtter is a fairly sure barom-
eter of the moral tone of a com
munity. II is doubtful it any city
Of the size in the country can show
one as clean, and Washington is well
policed, too

Travis Win.

Walter J. Travis. the American
golf champion, is now the amateur
champion of England as well, and
his is the honor also of being the
first to take the trophy from British
soil.
All American players will be graft
fed by this victory, TOR it will mean
the acceptance among even the con-
servatives in the old country of the
fact that we really play golf and not
tiddlewinlls over here.
The development of the game on
this side of the water has been re
garded with much complacency by
those from whom It was borrowed.
Our efforts have been encouraged, but
the fact that we were still youngsters
at the sport has never been lost sight
of. We were told that we had no
traditions, no proper grounds, and, in
fact, nothing that should make them
take us seriously.
However, now that America has
furnished a British champion her
status will be changed and her arrival
within sight of the inner circle will
be duly credited.
1t is unquestionably true that the
average golfer over there plays a
better game than the average golfer
over here, but still we have proved
that we can raise champions and
players good enough to meet cham

CHICAGO, Ill, June 4-One OF the

part Of the country toward the stamp
ing out Of pulmonary consumption will
be inaugurated al once by the estab-
lishment of a tent colony at ottawa,
Ill, under the patronage Of the Illinois

had openly disagreed with the powers

This is his chance to put himself at
the head of a party which will I'M
doubtedly spring up in the near fu-
tUre and announce its intention OF
cleaning up Pennsylvania. Whether
he will do it or not depends on sew
eral things, not the least of which are
it's chances of success, which he can
probably estimate better than any
mere theorist.
It may be predicted of-hand that
he will not become a leader of any
reform which does not reform, and
the country will be interested in not

Quay'S Successor.

II seems 10 be generally conceded
that Senator Penrose will be the i'm
mediate successor Of the late Mat
thew S. Quay, not only in the posi-
ton OF national committeeman, but
in the Senate, and probably in State
politics.
The great question in Pennsylvania
at present is, of course, whether any
reform movement can. and will. inter
fere with the acknowledged corrup-
ton Of its politics. No change in ex-
listing conditions was possible while
the iron grip of Quay was on the
State, for whether he desired corrup-
ton rather than purity, or not, he
undoubtedly discouraged reform. 1t
remains TO be seen whether Senator
Penrose will take the same attitude
or not
Boies Penrose is one Of the younger

three years old. lie has been a Iegis-
lator all his life, but he is not a pol

as a Harvard graduate he may be

who have taken up politics rather as
a profession than as a trade.

recent years without doing more or
less trading, and Senator Penrose

The Treasury Statement.

Like many other things Of which
political diatribes are made the Nav
Treasury statement is not as alarm
ing as it looks. The figures this year
DO, 1t is true, point to a deficit. But
suppose the Panama Canal expendI-
lures and the st. Louis loan to be de-
Quoted from the outgo.
1t would certainly require a some

on the part Of the Treasury Depart
ment 70 make money enough to afford
a surplus for the year of over $50
100000. The st. Louis loan. amounted
tc S4,GOO000. and the Treasury Off
Gals show that had this not been paid
out there would have been a surplus
Of S2,327 ,159 for the eleven months
Yet had the Government refused IN
make this loan, what a chorus Of
complaint there would have baen
from the South and West! Il would
have been a most impOlitic thing for
a Republican Administration to do.
In connection with this item of ex-
penditure it may be said, by the way.
that II is about time for worlds fair
movements to have a rest. There has
beer talk Of a jamestown Cepten-
NAL, and Of some SOFT of celebration
on the Pacific Coast, but in all frank
ness these enterprises deserve to be
squelched at the beginning, so far as
Government aid is concerned. OF
course, there is no reason why Seat
tie or jamestown or Boston or Osh-
kosh should not get up a centennial
on its own hook; such festivals are
profitable 20 the people and useful as
instruction in the history of the
country; but they are not Govern
ment affairs. We have had three
worlds fairs now inside Of fifteen
years, and the Chicago fair is the only
one which can be said to have been a
success. That was the first of its
kind in a generation, and the greatest
exposition of the worlds history thus
far. but there are not shokels enough
lying around loose among the citizens
OF this planet TO make thing Of that
kind profitable if it comes too often.

Hearst and the Prophet.

Eltweed POmerOy, president of the
National Direct-Legislation League.
posing as a political prophet and
writing in all seriousness for The
Arena, says that if the Democratic
party dominates a moderate radical
or Hearst, it has a good chance of
winning the election. He continues:
Six months ago would have said
that Roosevelt's chances of being
elected if nominated by the Repub-
leans were so out of 100. But the
Hearst sentiment has rapidly grown.
And Ro0sevelt's chances against
Hearst, if regularly nominated by the
Democrats, are now not more than
60 or % out of 100"
Apparently this prophet prophesied
too soon, due probably to the fact
that the magazine went to press be-
fore the Hearst sentiment struck a
decline and the candidate himself
practically acknowledged defeat by
announcing that the cash box was
closed and he was sitting on the lid.
However, so rare a thing as a favor
able notice Of Mr. Hearst is of suf-
fcient news value to warrant reprint
ing. According to Mr.. Pomeroy. Mr.
Hearst has three gifts in greater de-
gree than any man of his time:
First, keenness of insight into the
hearts Of the great common. people
and what they want; into the minds
OF men to know what they can do and
viii do if pushed; into the plans OF
opponents to see where they are
weak.
Second, vigor and resourcefulness
in Selling the seen opportunity
whether this consists in advocating
new measures, using the known quail
tiles of men, or beating his oppo.
nents.
Third, a purpose, and 1 think tlrc
purpose is a moral one. though / an
not wholly sure of that.
For a person of Mr.. Pomeroy's as
sumed intimate acquaintance not Il
know whether Mr.. Hearst's purpose +.
good, bad, or Indifferent Is certainl,
suggestive of the extremely doubtful
character OF that purpose.
In fact, Mr.. Pomeroy states will

American Citizens Abroad.

The Perdicaris episode revives a
discussion which was the outcome of
the Stone episode, namely. how far
this Government is responsible for
the lives and property OF citizens who
deliberately go where they know it is
unsafe This question is periodically
coming up in connection with mis-
sionaries. who have, ever since the
beginning of the history of missions,
been poking their noses into corners
Of the earth where they we're not
wanted. and where they ran some risk
of getting killed. In the beginning, il
may be remembered, any catastrophe
which might befall them was not
made the basis for international COM
plications, it was simply taken as
martyrdom, for which they might
reasonably have looked.
Times have changed. The murder
of any American or English mission
airy in a foreign country now would
be likely to get the government Of
Niltil COunlAg lnlO llOubibs w uilC IL
is said with some show Of reason that
this sometimes causes bumpuous
Americans and English to Overstep
their privileges, it is, on the whole, a
very good thing. Countries like Mo-
rocco and Bulgaria must be taught
that there is law in the world, and
whatever punishment may overtake
them for disregarding that law is
useful and necessary education.
In the Perdicaris case there seems
TO be a shrewd scheme on the part OF
the brigands to use the known power
of England and America to serve
ends Of their own; but that is the
business of the Sultan of Morocco
not ours. II he cannot keep order In
his dominions ne is as responsible as
we should be if brigands carried an
English duke into the wilds Of the
Rocky Mountains and held him fo1
ransom in order to get the governor
Of Wyoming into trouble.
