The CONVENTION CITY.

The Democratic national committee
acted with exceeding wisdom when 1t
selected st. Louis as the meeting place
of the next national Democratic con-
vention. So many considerations
united to bring about this result that
the choice should not have been as
surprising as 1t was.
st. Louis won more because of the
negative arguments against the other
cities claiming the honor than on it's
own merits. It has not exactly what
we might call a summer climate. 1t
will be pretty we'll crowded this year
when the exposition opens. AT the
same time that also is an argument in
the other direction, since it will offer
to the delegates an opportunity which
they would not otherwise have to visit
the exposition grounds.
Perhaps the determining fact. how
ever, in the committees mind was that
the conventions session in st. Louis will
be more nearly free than anywhere else
from an attempt to sway it by outside
influence and to cause a stampede. 1t
was perfectly clear that this would
happen in Chicago. New York did not
really want the convention at all.
Chicago wanted it for Chicago's own
purposes, as usually happens in that
city; and one of the conditions was
that 5000 tickets of admission should
be turned over to the local committee.
This meant that the hall should be
packed with bowling claquers, and
every attempt be made to force the
convention to nominate such candi-
dates as the majority of the Chicago
committee might prefer.
AS long as the utterly -senseless Gus
tom prevails of holding national con-
ventions in the biggest halls available
and admitting from 10000 to 10000
people to their deliberati tions, this dan

whole system should be utterly abol-
ished. The sessions of a national
convention, instead of parodying pan
demoniun. ought to be calm, deliberate
and free from outside pressure. These
conventions should meet in hall just
large enough to accommodate the dele
gates and the representatives of the
press. The public has no business
there. and goes either out of mere GU
riosity or actuated by deliberate pur-
pose to influence the action Of the
convention. Sooner or later this wise
reform will be adopted by both par
ties, and we hope that the Democrats
will take the lead.
Meantime, while the evil practice
prevails of holding a convention in
the center of bowling mob. we must

force down the conventions throat,
and its representatives guaranteed fair
play to everybody. 1t is exceedingly
fortunate that the apparent plot to
shout down the convention IN the In

HAWAII TERRITORY IS
IN FINANCIAL SHOALS
There Are No Appropriations and the
Legislature May Be Convened.

HONOLULU, Jan. 13-The supreme
court of the territory of Hawaii today
decided unanimously that the county gov
ernment act. which went into effect Jan.
4, is void. The court declares that tax
alton features were Illegally Incorporated
in the measure, and that the act cannot
be made operative without them.
Gov. Carter is considering the question
of calling an extra session of the legisla-
ture to remedy the present condition of
affairs. The territory is without appro-
priations. There is no provision for the
police, as the funds of this bureau and
many others were intended to be raised
by the various counties. The supreme
courts decision leaves undetermined the
question which was raised as to whether
or not the Hawaiian legislature had the
authority to institute an elective county
government system.

to politics, from Indifferent industry
from neglect of the homely virtues OF
industry, thrift and frugality, from
mistaken opposition to the very infiu-
ences at work for her upbuilding. Look
at the situation as it is pictured by the
undeniable facts of present experience
and let them be both judge and guide.
The mastery of markets is within the
grasp of this country; the prize for
which all the world has struggled des-
perately with arts of peace and of war.
We have wonderfully fruitful soil and
capable and energetic people. We
have master minds that have seen in
vision the days that are now come ana
made ready to meet them. The plan is
good. 1t involves the expansion of our
commerce beyond imag agined bounds, the
control of a worlds traffic, the lordsh1p
of the land and sea. and-best of all
the highest return, the greatest reward,
the fullest comfort, the richest life for
the producer, the son of the soil out or
whose hands the world Is fed. Shall
we accept or reject the gift?
This is the great question pro-
pounded to our people and our time.
1t is one of the utmost simplicity. A
work as wide as the world and dealing
with influences and trade movements
as extended as the courses of the sun,
a work that includes in its scope the
commerce of continents, must have i'm
plements adequate to the task. There
must be, as Mr.. Hill says, power
commensurate with the task or that
task, on which our future welfare is
conditioned, will remain unperformed.
Is it conceivable that the mere pos
session of power which alone is equal
to the achievement of beneficent end
is in itself to be denied as intrinsically
evil? And if so, then must not the Ia
Dor remain forever undone and the
prize unwon?
The largest and remotest ends and
the simplest purposes Of life are con-
joined in this larger view. That which
gives to the United States the mastery
of markets, that which enables us to
transport commodities from st. Paul
to Hongkong at rate that staggers
students of transportation, that which
is to determine years hence the relative
wealth and power of nations is also
to raise or lower the price of wheat In
the Northwest, is to give to the inland
dweller the low freight rate to his
terminal market, is to measure the
comfort of every home and the happi-
ness of every fireside. AS in all
searching studies, the immense and the
simple acknowledge ones law and one
harmony. It is by the progress of in
telligence through repeated presenta-
tions such as that found in this ad-
dress that we believe just public
opinion and conclusion at once
patriotic and splendidly commercial in
it's highest sense will be achieved.

KISS OF A CHILD MAY

A Fable of Ingratitude.

Help me off with this, will your" he
said to a frog that happened to be pass
ing.
The frog kindly complied with the re-
quest, and presently the discarded skin
lay stretched along the ground.
Now" observed the frog, Il suppose
you will do with that as l do with my
caSt-off garments-eat it."
NO" said the snake. There is some
thing better in sight"
Thereupon he ate the frog.
The moral of this my dears. is that
there is more than one kind of skin game,
and some kinds are meaner than others.
