The old adage that there is no ae-
counting for tastes was never better
proved than in the change of the name
of Floral street to South Mackubin"
at the request of people living there.
OF all conceivable names the most
inane are those which have a geo.
graphical designation, such as North
or East prefxed, or the word New,
as handle to them. AT the very best
they argue defective imagination.
Floral street was a pretty name but
If people there want it to be South

cO0iie Labor on the Canal.

1t is said that the Panama canal
commission favors letting the work of
digging to contractors, on the plea
that the question of coolie labor would
have to be solved by the lowest bidder.
As tic contractor would have to give
heavy bonds for sanitation conduct
and completion, it is hard to see how
the commission can be relieved of re-
sponsibilty, the personnel and charac-
ter of the laborers being taken under
consideration. No plan yet proposed
that eliminates cooIie labor seems
practical. The commission and the
country will have to face that question
sooner or later. and cannot shoulder
its accountability upon prospective
contractors or subcontractors.-Cle

A Word For Roosauelt.

But Mr.. Roosevelt is not depraved.
The sum of all the yillainies is not en-
BODIED in his person, and if the fiery
Democratic orators and editors attack
him with such unwarranted assump-
ton, they viii raise up friends in his
behalf and arouse those friends he al
ready has-and their name is legion
to greater activity than they would
otherwise display. If the campaign be
pitched too much on abuse of Mr.
Roosevelt, the impression will be made
on the popular mind that he is a strong,
positive character, while his Demo-
cratic opponent is negative nonentity

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
REVEALS AN INCREASE
Cost Of Culture by Irrigation Is $40 Per
Acre.

WASHINGTON, D. G. May IA
report on the progress of the beet sug-
ar industry in 1903, prepared by the
department of agriculture, shows an
increase in the number of beet sugar
factories in the United States from
forty three, at the close Of 1902, TO
fifty-six at the beginning of 1904 The
crop of 1903 amounted to little more
than 100000 tons. harvested from
242,575 acres. the average yield being
about eight and onehalfS tons to the
acre.
The prices received for beets ranged
from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton. The av-
erage returns were $3.50 per acre. The
estimated cost of growing beets by irri-
CATION is $40 per acre, and in sections
where irrigation is not necessary $50.
The amount of sugar made from the
beet crop of 1903 was 240,604 TONS as
compared with 218.405 tons from the
crop of 1902 and 1S4,605 tons from that
of 1901.

The South and the, NEGRO.

1t all amounts to the same thing in
the end, SO far as the negro is con-
cerned. He is denied equality at some
stage Of the association with the white
man; but the South's way is the hon
est and direct, way 1t holds out no
false hope, it makes no pretense that
because the negro is educated and
cultivated" he is entitled to social rec
ognition up to certain point, namely,
to the seat at the dining table. The
South says fatty: We will not start on
that route at all; we will not even
consider it. AS long as we intend to
uphold our idea of white purity, it is
not even to be thought of. That is
honest, because it is the truth, and It
is direct. 1t avoids the, chance of any
misunderstanding of the relative po-
sition of the races.-MobIe (Ala.1 Reg

RussIA,s cHAMeE OF MIME.

Russia's final determination to send
an exhibit to the st. Louis exposition
may be accepted as proof that she no
longer doubts the friendly feeling Of
this government. It may be accepted,
too, as another evidence of her change
of attitude in regard to the opinion of
the rest of the world. Until within the
past few months the big country has
shown certain amount of contempt
for public opinion. She has shown this
not SO much by Withholding explana-
tons as by giving them, for as rule
those explanations have insulted the
intelligence of civilized nations. They
have been thrown as a sop to a Ger
berus she has rather disdained and she
has continued on her way without
pausing long enough to ascertain the
manner in which it has been received.
Count Cassini has taken the trouble
to explain on paper his country's side
of the present war, and it is worth
noting that he writes as one who ap-
preciates the intelligence of his readers.
The article impresses because of it's
evident sincerity. 1t goes without say
ing that the ambassador has taken his
cue from the new attitude his govern
ment has assumed toward the rest of
the world. Had Russia never explain
ed at all, it would have been very
much better for her since she has in
variably explained SO badly. But if
Count Cassinps article is to be accept
ed as the beginning of new kind of
Russian diplomacy, it is safe to proph-
esq that Russia's reputation will i'm
prove very much within the next few
years.
So far as her exhibit at st. Louis is
concerned, this will show not only that
her feeling toward this country is a
friendly one, but it will show, too, that
she cares what the mass of people here
think about her. Hearing so much of
her in connection with war and blood
shed and brutality only, it is desirable
that the world should be impressed
with what she has been able to accom-
plish in. time of peace. The impor-
lance of this Russia has learned.
Whether reyerses have taught her hu-
mility or whether she became really
alarmed at the expression of hostile
sentiment expressed by neutral peoples
at the beginning of the war, no out
slider can say. But all can rejoice that
she is evincing a desire to put herself
right in the eyes of the world. Here
tofore her press agent has made her
out very much worse than she really is.

SIR HENRY M. STANLEY

The pioneer reporter of the world is
dead, Sir Henry NJ. Stanley. Of OBJ
scure origin, he reached by his own
genius a place of eminence to which
his contemporaries made no effort to
attain. He was remarkable in that one
day James Gordon Bennett told him
to go to Africa and find Livingston.
and he found him. Livingston was the
explorer, but we knew nothing of the
Dark Continent till Stanley found the
man who had discovered it.
Stanley, received with acclaim in
this country. was an embittered man
in that he conceived that his work in
Africa was not appreciated in the land
of his adoption. He went to England
and found there some appreciation Of
his great work.
AS the discoverer of a continent he
stands at the head of the newspaper
workers of today. A resourcefuI man.
he cOnsummated the work at which
scientists had baked, but his personal
and petty ambitions led him to OBJ
security.
In the pursuit of ambitions in which
he had no vocation he sought and was
given a place in parliament, was even
given knighthood by the sovereign
of Great Britain and thought to retire
upon the laurels he had fairly earned.
The laurels withered npon his brow
and Stanley instead of becoming the
great man he might have been in his
adopted country became an obscure
English country gentleman, a sacrifice
to his own ambitions.
The world win always remember
him as the discoverer of Afriea-the
newspaper world will remember him
as the most eminent reporter of all
time. He saw his work and accom-
plished his assignment What he did
for the geography of the world is not
now TO be reekoned with. What he
failed to do for himself is obvious.

China and Exclusion.

Although China; has hoped to secure
more faYorabhey treaty, it will soon
see that the sentiment Of the American
people is antagenistic to such changes,
and no doubt it will then consent to
sign a new agreement fully as effective
as the one now in force. The far
seeing men of China cannot fail to rec
ognize, when the matter is clearly pre-
scented to them, that one of the worst
things for China that could occur
would be for public sentiment in this
country to be greatly aroused against
the Chinese. THE United States has
been China's friend, and this friend
ship is, no doubt, valued too highly
for the responsible men connected with
the Chinese ,goYernment to forfeit it
for the sake of coolies who might wish
to enter the United States.-DenYer
