PRIMITIVE pKoPRrErY.

Masters Of statecraft may find In the camps OF
the savages at the Exposition the embryonic type 6f
that cultivated nesse which Is known in these times
among civilized natons>a social diplomacy. Worlds
powers which stretching the open hand across
the sea as they extend the mailed hand under or
over the sea ought to admit that they cannot teach
beDevolenhy gentle manners already established.
The Indians, the Moros the African dwnrfs. the
hairy men from the depths Of JAPAN the Igorrotes,
the Eskimos, the PatagonIans and the other odd
specimens Of humankind from all ends OF the earth
nre supposed to be ignorant Of ordinary rules Of
polIteness. 1t was rather surprising to see how
promptly each made friendly calls upon the last to
arrive how they passed expressions Of goodwill by
gesture, and how scrupulOus the party visited was
about returning the calls.
Ejacuatons which were uttered after the guests
departure may have made rents In the clear air.
Nevertheless, the common laws Of propriety had been
followed, Just as we comply with them. Diplomacy
Is not new accessory of international relations;
therefore. positive indication OF advanced civil
zation One Of the Moros asked why there are so
many soldiers at the Exposition "Is there going
be trouble?" he inquired He suspicious. but
lie was far enough advanced In civilization to give
utterance to his profound feeling Of friendlincss.
The savnges have the elements, If not the develop
ment, OF diplomacy.

FRENCH REFORM SYSTEM.


In Paris II is new custom to employ baIdheaded

downtown streets Of the gay metropolis without a
cover and Of course passers obliged to observe
the inscriptions and decorations At the thcatcr.
too the advertisement pate probably is conspicuous
In the front row.
But this form OF publicity was somewhat too
eccentric for Paris, where idiosyncrnses are
common that they seem to be natural and proper
The public officials desired to abolish 1t. The prob
lem was how to accomplish reform and enact Iaw
which would be effective, for q law Of this kind Is
apt to foster teclDicalities.
The authorities solved the difficulty. They passed
law requiring that all such advertisements should
display the Government stamp, which, after being
pasted on. should be struck with the official seal.
Reform Is virtually certainty. therefore, for there
are but few baldheaded men or women who would
enjoy getting knock on the pate with heavy seal
French ingenuity In reform legislation commend
itself to American lawmakers. Our difficulty has
been In constructing laws which cannot be circum
vented by recourse TO techncalties. Let us elimi-
nate this by incorporating practical technicalies IN
the laws and thus strike at the very source Of abuse

ST. Louis has made big sacrifices In financing.

which will far exceed the sacrifices. and II devolyes

their project popular success; that Is, to swell the
Attendance by frequent visits
This argument does not imply any apprehension
that the attendance will not be large All indications
are that the attendance will rise to a high level in
the autumn months. That this prediction is war

season in the year. Although nonresidents were Of

WALBRIDGE AND BUTLER

Colonel" Edward Butler In for Mr.. walbridge

are in on the deal dare not and will not deny it.
These politicians perceive in Buffers aid something
tangible-something which promises results-and
they will not likely risk losing 1t 10y denying his
| leadership.
Butler will not fight for Wabrldge and at the
same time permit the Wabrldge gang to rep,Idatc
| and asperse him. They must wear the Butler coors
If they would have the Butler aid In politics there
is tremendous lot of human nature, good. bad and
Indifferent and 1t would he too much to ask Of the
very worst human nature that 1t tolerate renuncia
tion and abuse while rendering service. 1t would
be decidedly rcpugnant TO a boss Of Buffers make
up bear both the brunt Of the fight and the bur
den of his own allies reputation.
Butler is against Folk, first, last and all the time.
Folk has brought the law to bear against him and
aborad hard to apply the laws penalties; and there
Is ST | an indictment pending. Butler Is against
Folk and for Butler; but he could be against Folk
and for Butler without being actively and power
fully for Walbridge and the Walbridge clique know
1t and will permit nothing to interfere with Lessen
Buffers pro-Walbridge purpose. They will stand by
the agreement made and keep their mouths shut.

NATURE ARSERDITIES.
