ST. LOUIS FAIR. CONFESSIONS

1t is we'll understood that the st.
Louis Fair wasn't a money making
institution. 1t cost great deal more
than the Chicago Fair, but it is doubt
full if the receipts were anywhere near
as much. And those who paid high
prices for concessions must be feeling
pretty blue. 1t is a question If any
Of the concessions paid a fair return
on the money and time invested in
them.
1t was thought the Boer War Exhibi-
ton Company would pay IL anything
would, but it seems the stockholders
of that concern are out of pocket.
Some of them have filed a. petition in
court to have receiver take charge OF
its effects. 1t is stated that the gate
receipts were 100000, and the expenses
100000. And yet there was much COM
ment on the number of people that
visited the show. 1t seemed as IL about
everybody wanted to see 1t. If 1t fail
ed to pay expenses what must have
been the experience OF some Of the
other shows?
The impression prevailed that the
Boer War show was so popular that
it would be taken to New York, and,
next summer. to Coney Island. This
programme may still be carried out,
because If it can be made to pay I'M
der good management there will not be
wanting money to get it out of finan-
cial difficulties.
The St. Louis Fair made plain this
fact, namely. that we have been hav-
ing great fairs in this country too close
together. One in about every twenty
years would be enough. The people
don't seem to be inclined to pay for
any greater number.

The crew of a certain life-saving sta
ton on the New England coast has
many times proved itself brave and
efficient in time of need, but of late
its skill and bravery have been use
less, like SO much treasure locked in
a vault. There has been no wreck,
says the Youths Companion. The sea
has been kind as big dog. Inaction
had inevitably bred soft habits of life,
and the idle crew had given the sum-
mer visitors much to joke about Their
satirical comments were rather I'M
grateful, for the practice drills of the
crew were part of the entertainment
of the seaside resort. Twice a week
the crew pulled out the brass cannon,
shot rope over a dummy mast which
is set up on point of land, and then
practiced sliding down in the brooches
buoy. The small boys of the place
were glad to play the part of rescued
mariners, and altogether the serious
drill, required by law, was a pretty
holiday sport. One rainy day, at the
appointed time, the crew failed to ap-
pear at practice. The summer board
ers on the hotel veranda waited in
vain for the exhibition which should
vary the monotony of dull day. Fin
ally, one of them went over to the
quarters of the crew TO learn the rea-
son.
I say, aren't you going to practice
to-day?"
No, SIR"
why not?''
Then the brave life-saver, hero of
many rough seas, made an explanatory
gesture toward the weather and said
What, in this rain?'

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World (Dem.) says:
CAS- each state has the right to reg
ulate its ballot and the manner of its
choice of presidential electors, might
it not be well to drop the names Of
the electors entirely from the ballot
and substitute the name of the candi-
date, and to provide that vote for the
candidate for President shall be consid-
cred also a vote for the electors whose
names have been duly registered with
the Secretary of State by the state
convention which nominated them?
This would shorten the ballot, prevent
split electoral tickets and simplify vot-
ing. 1t needs no constitutional amend
ment to put it into effect"
The Louisville Courier Journal
CDem) says: There are grounds for
belief that a few months may develop
a warm antagonism between the two
wings of the party in which the Pres
ident will represent the conservative
or moderate revision wing, while Mr.
Shaw will stand with the stand-pat-
tiers. 1t Is well known that the Pres
ident favors ex-Secretary Root as his
successor. Mr.. Root. from his former
service, no less than having the Pres
ident as his sponsor, will have an as
sured prominence. Whether Mr. Shaw.
bereft of his official consequence, will
be able TO preserve a national foot
ing in the contest or go back to the
obscure bank presidency, remains to
be seen. He may survive, but the
chances are that with the odds so
greatly against him he may prove to
be like one of those shooting stars
which light UP the armament for a
few brief moments and end in utter
darkness"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
of Nov. 20. discussing the cotton sit
uation. says: Cotton sold yesterday
at Oh cents. the lowest price known
in more than a year. and the general
tendency OF the market continues to
be I'm a downward direction. Meantime
the statement comes from Fall River
that the mills involved In the strike,
practically without exception. did not
earn the dividends paid out during the
past fiscal year, but drew upon their
SURPRISES or borrowed money to make
the division. This fact IL revealed in
tho reports being made 70 the Massa-
chusetts Secretary OF state under the
law. A. Il was the dividend for twen-
ty-two mills averaged only about 90

The bright and glittering foreground
Of the average druggists life has also,
1t appears. it's deep and dismal back
ground of daily gloom, says the Louis
Vile Courier Journal.
You haven't any idea" remarked a
highly Intelligent pharmacist behind
the counter of a handsome little shop,
how many persons, besides myself,
try to run this little drug store. All
day long and far into the night, the
druggist is at the mercy of all the
people who come and go and have bar
rels of advice to throw away. We keep
postage stamps, purely for accommo-
dalton, and many of my customers act
as IL ought to be arrested because
happen ever to be out of stamps.
have even had complaints presented
because I don't take every identical
newspaper printed in the city, night
and morning. for my neighborhood
loungers to read. Men tell me what
cigars and soaps / ought to keep, and
what prices 1 ought to ask; how early
l ought to be here; how much time 1
ought to take at noon, and how late 1
ought to stay at night. Doctors, as a
rule, are the most persistent advisers;
every doctor thinks he knows exactly
how to run a drug store. Some of the
doctors act as If the chemist ought to
go home with each prescription-cus-
toner and sit by his bed while he takes
the dose.
And the thiok-headed or careless
customer is another long chapter. Last
night big fat man with a croaky
voice waddled in here and said: I
can't gargle with this stuff
What's the matter?' asked.
It's too thick, he said, no man on
earth could gargle with a gargle like
this
Did you read the directions?
The fat man turned the little jar of
paste in his hand and read slowly
aloud: Dissolve one teaspoonful in
pint of water, and use as a gargle.'
Oh he croaked, that's different
Quite different / said. Suppose
you go home and try again.
That's only a sample" concluded
the drug man, 'but our life is full of
diverting encounters. too; we see
many interesting and intelligent peo-
pie. day by day, and they atone for
the stupid ones and the meddlers.''

An books of poetry--of course, he's

silver hinges, too,
It's got a silver lock that's set with

INCREASE IN CRIMES OF VIOLENCE.

lNCAEASE IN CRIMES OF NlOLENCtI.
In line with Judge Speer's address to
the grand jury on Monday is S. S.
McClure's article in McClure's maya
zine for December. on the Increase
of Lawlessness in the United States. a"
1t is an article that ought to be read
carefully by all who have anything to
90 with the enforcement of the law.
The statistics which Mr.. Mcclure
quotes are taken from those compiled
by the Chicago Tribune. It appears
that since 1881 there have been 129. AGA
murders and homicides in this country.
And in these crimes of violence there
has been a steady increase since the
year mentioned. In 1881 there were
only 1886 murders and homicides. In
1903 there were 1855. In 1881 there
was only one murder or homicide for
every 40.5SS inhabitants. In 1908 there
was one for every 1856. This increase
is so alarming that it ought to arrest
the attention of every man in the
country who exerts any influence in
shaping public sentiment.
Mr.. Mcclure undertakes to give some
of the causes of so many crimes of vio-
lence. In the course of his article,
he says:
Is it possible for officials to prevent
ordinary crimes who are selected and
elected generally for reasons other
than special fitness for their tasks, and
frequently for the definite purpose of
rnhh fta.rr he IL 81,
Can a body of policemen engaged III
blacknnail, persecution and in shield
ing law-breakers make community
law-abiding? Can a body of policemen
engaged in criminal practices prevent
others from committing crimes? Can
a board of aldermen who for private
gain combine to loot a city govern
city well?
1t is a fact of course that the great
majority of crimes of violence are
committed in cities, and are due large
ly to the fact that comparatively few
of those guilty of them are punished.
They are also due to the fact that the
laws are not enforced against the
places in which these crimes are COM
mitted. And at the bottom of all of
it is politics. Men are put into office
who are not expected to enforce the
laws to any greater extent than they
can help. or men who get into Office
are too weak to enforce the laws. If
crimes continue to increase at the rate
they have been increasing for the last
twenty years there will be tens of
thousands of murders and homicides
annually by the end of another period
of twenty years.

As soon as the Senate has been called
to order Senators Penrose OF Pennsyl-

that since the last session Senators
Quay and Hosr have departed this

know this yet. When II has been
appraised of its bereavement the SEN
