The Jamestown Exposition.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt's interest in the
jamestown exposition, scheduled to he hold
III l9oi, has now been twice publicly ex-
pressed. in the course of his annual mos
sage and again yesterday in a talk ar tho
"hNe House with certain members of the
House of Representatives The project an
peals strongly to him as the marking of an
historical event of first consequence in tho
development of the country 1t bears great
possibilities for an assemblage of repre-
sentatives of the navies of the world for
friendly comparison and that close personal
touch OF officials which makes for internal
'lonal good feeling. 1t is furthermore an
opening for an Industrial display which will
disclose the rapid development of the south
erh states and introduce the rest of the
country TO their advantages and needs. The
project requires government aid TO put it
on practicable footing and to expand it
beyond the proportions of a mere interstate
fair.
There has been a surfeit of exposition
propositions during the past few years, and
some of them have had little basis in his
tory Tor being. This one. however, COM
|memorating the ter-centennial of the first
English settlement on the continent. is in
historical Significance only second to the
|memorating the discovery of the continent
IL will be held in the near neig hborhood of
the place OF the first landing, the site
chosen being famous the world over for its
natural beauty and the Importance of its
story in relation to the development of the
nation. jamestown itself is little more than
a hamlet and could not possibly accommo-
date an exposition. The ground selected
has the support of five cities
The matter of government aid is now I'M
der consideration by subcommittee of the
House committee on appropriations, and in
the interest of a proper commemoration of
an event which exerted so great an infiu-
ence upon the development of the continent
of North America IT IS TO be hoped that
some way will be found to ensure that the
exposition will be worthy of the occasion
and memorable and helpful item In the
story Of the southeastern states.

So sings Greater New York as respects
defeated candidates for office and politi-
clans tired of the game. Judge Herrick,
following the example of Judge Parker,
who followed other eminent examples, will
move to the big town and practice law
The inducements are great for men of his
profession. Business Is brisk, and fees for
lawyers at the top are fat. In making this
change will Judge Herrick cease to be an
upstate man? He has been mentioned for
the post of state leader in place of David
B. Hill, but in retiring from Albany for the
metropolis will he not lose ground in that
relation? The state leader should not live
in the shadow of Tammany Hall, but In
the sunshine of green fields and growing
crops.

have gone through without serious hitch.
The one party as well as the other has
accepted with something like pride Thomas
B. Reeds dictum, that this is billion
dollar country. No cheeseparer could lead
the Congress of the United States now.
The republicans won because they stood
for policies that had proved themselves and
that pointed to still better things. They
stood for progress. both at home and
abroad. The republican party has never in
all its fifty years Of existence been
'stand-pat' party. To stand pat Is 10
stand STILL and the party that stands still,
like the lady who hesitates, is lost. There
is much work for the party to do; and
If for any reason it does not resolutely ad-
dress itself to that work, the people, we
may be sure, will commit the task to
other hands. The standpatter may ma
neuver for position, but he cannot halt

1t exercise at the polls. He is one of the
PEOPLE. and the people rule in America.
What social question should battle such in
telligence operating under conditions so
favorable for ascertaining truth and apply
ing remedies for public grievances?
On the question of socialism Archbishop
Ireland expressed this opinion:
"Sometim the question is asked whittier
we are drifting in America. From my
knowledge of the laborers of America L
have not much fear of the menace OF an
archy. If there were some danger of this
wild socialism, 1t comes from those who
not Industrious and who do not respect
themselves. 1t is the duty of the rlcher aod
more powerful elements of society, to reduce
the number of those who have no stake IN
the country, to study in every way to give
every willing man the means of earning
with honor an honest livelihood.
1t may likewise be said that the socialist
agitator in this country does not, because
he cannot conjure with the cries that are
SO effective in Germany, and France, and
Italy. He is not addressing audiences en-
Uttered by years of repression and dis
couraged by narrow and unpromising
outlook AS a rule he sees before him not
suualor and ignorance, easily fred by ap-
peals to force and cupidity, but men who
have been attracted by a promise of hear
ing explained improvements on things that
as they now exist have wrought much good
for the people. Naturally they want the
best that is going, but are not to be bam-
boozled into letting a good thing slide, or
into radically changing It at the instance
of some glib fellow who dreams dreams and
sputters In a cajoling tone about an eco
nomic millennium.
The increase in the socialist vote from
less than a hundred thousand in 1900 to
half a million this year has attracted much
attention, but there are several things that
make for assurance on that subject Or
ganized labor is opposed to socialism, re-
ligious bodies of every communion are OPP
posed to 1t, and such bodies as this Ma
tional Civic Federation have it in their
power to work effectively against it. Why
then, should we fear it? If socialism OF
any definite brand could rule America, 1t
would be on the eve of ruling the world.

The Smoke Issue.

The District Commissioners are wander
ing from the real point at issue in the con-
troversy over the smoke law. They are
wrangling as to who Is the best enforcer OF
the law as 1t stands, whereas the law In it's
present shape is absolutely unfit for enforce
ment. 1t is an outrageously unjust meas
ure and the more strictly 1t is enforced the
more harshly 1t bears upon the small frac-
ton of the citizens of Washington who
have been decreed to be subject to its pro-
visions
The vital point of the matter is that the
chief offenders In the emission of dense
smoke are in a very large part exempted
from the laws provisions, and that the
law applies to those who are not exempt
in such way that they cannot meet
Its impracticable requirements, however
they may wish or try to do so. The
statute as it reads and Is construed by the
Police Court makes lawbreakers of all bust
ness men whose chimneys emit dense smoke
even for a few seconds, and a subordinate
administrative officer backed by the Com
missioners, selects from the law-breaking
business community the offenders whom
it is desired to punish. The Washington
business men urge that the law itself should
state specifically the degree of smoke ennis
SION WHICH SIdll constitute d pulllSlldDle VI
Tense. They object to be made lawbreakers
universally by the law and escape punish
ment only by the leniency of the health
officer.
There is nothing in the situation today
that calls for the more vigorous enforce
ment of the statute as it now reads. The
only point to be gained by Its enforcement
is to develop the absolute necessity for it's
radical amendment, along the lines sug-
gested by The Star. The Commissioners
should not call upon the public for this sac
rifce in order to persuade Congress of the
need of change in the statute. They have
the power today to bring the issue squarely
before Congress without such an object les
son of the laws inequities and absurdities.
They should therefore cease their disputing
over an irrelevant issue and turn in to de-
wise amendments which, when adopted, will
make the law just in its terms, certain in
its requirements and equal in its applica-
ton to all offenders. Then the force of
smoke inspectors should be increased, in
order that a just law may be vigorously
and impartially and thoroughly enforced.

Republican Strength and Weakness,

The New York Tribune packs a good deal
of sound sense into the following brief
space:
The weakness of the republican party at
present Is its strength. With such an in
dorsement that given at the recent cleo
ton greater things may properly be ex-
pected OF 1t than ever before. To deserve
the high confidence reposed in it, it will
have to do something more than stand
pat and enjoy the fruits of it's victory"
1t may be necessary for the two houses of
the next Congress to meet and begin BUSH
ness before the republican legislative lead
ers thoroughly appreciate the real size Of
the partys triumph and the full character
of its responsibility. The spectacle will be
most unusual In the Senate the demo-
cratic membership will be small while in
the House it's size Will suggest absolute
helplessness. In the one body because Of
the absence of the power to limit debate,
the minority will be able to make itself felt,
but In the other the committee on rules,
with hundred majority in the open House
to enforce its DEGREES. will be supreme at
all times. Speaker Cannon will hold the
lines over the longest team that has ever
travelled that road.
The question then will be exceedingly
pointed What does all this signify? Why
have the people at the polls expressed them
selves with such emphasis? Was 1t simply
to secure the necessary money for the sup
port of the government? Was there moth
ing else in view for the republican party
to do? Was there no other interest aroused
than that relating to routine?
We all know that democratic House
would have voted money enough to support
the government There might have been
some controversy over the amount for the

In nothing is Paris more artistic than in

in the Place de lOpera is denounced because
1t is not what the French journals call
