The Record has nothing to say
against the gamblers personally.
They are most of them fellows of keen
wit and intelligence who might have
made a success in legitimate bust
ness. There is still hope for them,
and laws absolutely prohibiting gam
bling would benefit even the gamb-
lers by forcing them to earn a living
at better employment.

CASTRO is NOT AN ISSUE

President Castro of Venezuela con-
tinues to maintain an attitude that
would be offensive if he were not so
Observation-Disclosures we treat him too
seriously. He is encouraged to remain
cocky by the consideration that is given
his absurd claims by those writer's on
international topics who feel the ne
cessity of keeping interest in their
chosen field alive during the dull sea-
son.
Castro is not and cannot be a menace
to the United States, it's merchant ma
rine or its important interests. He ap-
pears to have already deprived the
asphalt trust of certain valuable rights
claimed by that corporation. But that
is a matter between him and the trust.
The promoters Of the asphalt deal
knew they were taking a long chance
to win big money; they seem to have
gone into the affair knowing what the
laws Of Venezuela were and how the
courts might be manipulated by a
dictator or tyrant in the presidency. No
one thinks of chastising Castro for
coercing the courts to decide against
the trust. There is a sort of under
standing that the trust would have
used the courts for its own ends if the
little president had not anticipated that
action. Castro seems to have made a
sharp deal with certain European in
terests regarding the debts of his coun-
try. wherein he profited to some ex-
tent. He has been defiant and cheeky.
but that is because he knows how to
advertise.
As matter of fact Castro seems to
be a smart little bit of a man who has
succeeded in getting for himself a place
on the worlds stage by using good
press agents. He doesn't want to go
to war; he could not defend himself
If any nation other than his immediate
neighbors wanted to go to war with
him. He is joke and not a good joke.
1t would serve him right if the Wash
ington correspondents would agree to
ignore him until he does something
worth while-such as moving to Paris
with what he can carry of the treasure
he is laying up.

NO EXCUSE FOR 1T

h e Gil b is already so fully
on record that it scarcely seems worth
while for ii to repeat it's condemna-
ton of the proposal to pay to newspa-
per reporters of the legislative pro-
ceedings a certain amount of money
from the public funds. This hoary
old abuse appears session after ses-
sion, sometimes meeting one fate and
sometimes another; but a scorching
public opinion ought some day to bury
it beyond resurrection.
The members of the legislature owe
to the representatives of the press alb
solutely nothing but personal courtesy.
These gentlemen are paid for the
work that they do. AS it is work re-
quiring first class ability and involv-
ing a lot OF responsibility, they are
paid well. That is the business of
their employers; for whom and not
for the state they are working. Both
newspapers and newspaper men ought

can be construed only as a tip or a
bribe.
The legislature has no more right to
make such an appropriation than it
has to vote a gratuity from the state
to the motormen and conductors of
the street cars which carry its men,
bers. or to the bell boys or table watt
ers of the hotels where they tempo
rarily reside. . 1t is an abuse on one
side and an insult on the other. II
there were in general a healthier
opinion about proprlety In the ex-
penditure Of the peoples money, if
men within and without the legisla-
ture had not come to look upon the
states treasury as fair game for any
body who can break into 1t. such a
suggestion would never have been
heard as that which every two years
causes the daily newspapers of these
two cities to express their disapproval
and their resentment. Pay your own
bills, gentlemen, and we will look
after ours.

than this is justified in speaking of a
recklessness and heedIessness. a head
strong determination to push this
matter through without reason and
without explanation, such as governed
the controlling majority from the
start. 1t is not only an utter failure
in duty, but a failure without appar-
ent motive; a failure for reasons
which no one can understand. When
the code goes into effect and its er-
rors Of omission and commission be-
gin to bear hardly upon all our peo-
pie. as they must after the courts
have sifted this extraordinary mass of
chaff and wheat; when the jobs be-
come apparent and the public inter-
ests suffer, then will the Republican
party of Minnesota begin to reap the
harvest that this legislature has
sown.

TIE ST. PAUL GLOBE. SUNDAY. APRIL 16 1905

news of the CANNES arrival had been
telephoned to the newspaper shop and
the reporter was soon on his way
to the hospital But here again his
zeal received a check. The veterinary
surgeon fatty refused to give out any
information in regard to the condition
of the dog. The result is that today
the public doesn't know whether the
high priced terrier is alive or dead.
The incident is a trivial one. per-
haps, but it serves excellently to IL
lustrate afresh that lack OF sympathy
and affability that has always charac-
terized the attitude of the members of
this powerful house toward the peo-
pie. Here was a public concerned over
details. hoping against hope that the
worst was not to be feared, and to
reward its zeal and allay its forebod-
ings nothing in the yellow paper but
a couple of lines which brutally stated
that the surgeon would not be inter
viewed. No detailed account of the
hospital treatment, no photograph of
the canine with a group picture of his
nurses and physicians. no hourly bulle-
tins to tell of his coDdition-nothingI
We think the Vanderbilts missed a
great opportunity. Had they permitted
a column of information to be print

they have established between them
selves and the public, whose great
heart would have throbbed in sympa-
thy with them in their affiiction- An
interview with the head of the house,
few touching little anecdotes that
would throw into high relief the char
acter Of the sufferer at the hospital
and the diagnosis of the attending
physician-all this would have con-
sumed little time and cost no money,
and who can predict what the effect
might have been upon the peoples es-
innate of the Vanderbilts? But they
chose, instead, to live up to the profane
utterance of a distinguished member
of the house; to emphasize once more
by their action their belief that the
public has no rights they are bound
to respect

on the chimney opening. The mod
crates accept the presents but reject
the saint, and they are so anxious lest
they overstep the limits they them
selves have set about their celebration
that they are hardly more satisfactory
than the extremists.
If the Christmas tree, too, must
pass. there will pass with it an
other of those adjuncts to the
celebration that have come to be
accepted as outward signs of inward
rejoicing. Perhaps if some common
sense person should count the number
OF Christmas trees used annually and
compare 1t with the myriad growths of
natures providing. we would not have

ent laden fir tree. with happy children's
faces clustered about its boughs. Re-
forms come high and we do not have to
have all of them. Christmas reforms
seem to be the most painful and most
unnecessary of all, and promise to
leave us ultimately without a peg on
which to hang our Christmas senti-
ments.

AN ANTIDoTE FOR LAzlNess

The announcement made by a dis
tinguished medical man that he has
discovered an antitoxin which will
drive out laziness is hardly as epoch
making as it sounds. 1t will be apt
to recall to the minds OF the majority
that old prOverb that contrasts the
ease with which horse may be led
TO water with the difficulty of per-
suading him TO drink. There may be
lazy men who regard their vice as a
real aff1iction and who are pathetical-
ly eager to be cured OF it, but they
are scarce. The world is far more
familiar with the class that either
revels in its laZiness or that is igno-
rant of its affliction and that never
could be persuaded that it was suf-
fering from it.
OF course if the antitoxin for lazi-
ness is as potent as its discoverer
claims it is a law making the taking
of it compulsory might be passed.
To make such a law absolutely i'm
partial. however, it would have to be
enforced on the rich and poor alike,
and 1T is more than probable that a
strong lobby made up of the members
or the former class who are idlers
would defeat it. A very attractive
and encouraging mental picture is
that Of a nf
In police station with a sufficient
number of physicians in attendance
to insure a liberal application of the
antitoxin. But the companion picture
Of group of richly dressed but va
cant faced chaps similarly situated is
less convincing.
1t is pleasant to reflect that the
members of the medical profession
are busying themselves with the
faults as well as the ailments of man
kind, and that there is a prospect that
the medicine chest of the future will
contain cures for lying and stealing
and backbitiHg as we'll as for bruised
fingers and headaches and other sim
liar Affections. 1t must be admitted,
however, that it will take the public
a long while to get used to the idea
Of applying to a bottle for cures for
moral defects. And for the present, at
any rate. 1t seems likely that the will
instead of the family physician will
be relied upon when a bad case of
aversion to work develops: and that
those who are interested in strength
ening the character of friend or de-
pendent will pin their faith to the
development of this will instead of to
doses Of antitoxin.

CHRISTMAS REFORMS

The general federation of women's
clubs. in a pamphlet on forestry inst
issued, deplores the war made on young
spruce and evergreen trees TO supply
the Christmas trade. 1t urges the
women of the country to investigate
the matter with a view to framing
protective measures against the
slaughter. Within the last ten years
the country generally has come to
take an intelligent interest i'm the whole
subject of forestry and to realize the
pressing necessity of devising ways and
means of protecting the forests that
are still left in the United States and
OF reforesting wasted districts. The
club women were not the first to call
public attention to the damage done
pine forests by the Christmas trade.
but they evidently take it seriously.
Nowadays it is almost impossible to
find two people who entirely agree on
the manner in which Christmas should
be celebrated. The extremists-and
they are by no means few-believe
that so long as the Christmas spirit is
in the heart, that suffices. They re-
ject Santa Claus, they question the
propriety of exchanging gifts. they per-

the presence of relics or the search
for them, to convey this veneration.
1t is a strange and somewhat incom-
prehensible accompaniment of pa
triotism that seeks for the material
on which to pin memorial or rec
ord. More actual for us all are the
deeds of the patriot leader; what in
spired them, and the great events

body of hero or martyr; "for still his

OLD AGE AND THE MuMMERs

Depressing yet not unexpected news
if waited from the Rialto. Sir Henry
Irving is feeling more and more the
burden of his years, and his public ap-
pearances are becoming less and less
frequent Great Joseph Jefferson is
struggling with disease and that in
durable malady, old age, in the south.
The lovable Stoddard has wrung the
heartstrinss for the last time with his
portrayal of the great role OF Lachlan
Campbell and has retired permanently
with the pathetic plant, Il am tired"
on his lips.
Old mummers, these. but their
genius has illumined rarely the work
of their late years, and the thought of
their passing instills an apprehension
that is always associated with the con-
temptation of a personal loss. Short
lived though the fame of the great
players be at best. they have their
compensation in the knowledge that
such friendship as only visible contact
makes possible exists for them in the
hearts of those who reverence their
art Not imagined or vague person
alities theirs, but clean and deeply
limned on receptive minds.
1t happens that when a player has
become closely associated with one
role, as has Jefferson with that of Rip
Van Wrinkle and Stoddard with Lach-
Ian Campbell, the most vivid impress
that is received is of the creation and
not the personality of the creator. Yet
1T is doubtful if there ever was a great
embodiment like either of these that
was not closely allied to the nature
bodied it. Actors may depict char
acters foreign to their natures, but only
a perfect sympathy can enable them to
create living, well rounded and COM
plex human entities. 1t matters little,
therefore, whether it is Joseph Jeffer-
son or Rip Van Wrinkle who is remem-
bered, Stoddard or Lachlan Campbell.
That they have created personalities
so potent must now be their compensa-
tion in this, the twilight Of their ca
reers. After all it is not of great con-
sequence what form art takes SO long
as it has once, at least. electrified hui
manity. Once the spark is struck, that
is sufficient. 1t may not survive in
tangible form as does painting or
sonnet, but it is sure to survive at least
in traditions. The great mummers have
glorified the stage, the substance of
each ones work has helped to shape
its destiny. Those of this modern age
who are now overwhelmed with the
years have contributed their quota and
it will influence many future genera
tions

A STRANGE ENTHUSIASM

Gen. Horace Porter, ambassador to
France, has finally succeeded in his
long search for the body of John Paul
Jones. After years of unsuccessful
investigation and operations costing a
large amount of money, a coffin has
been discovered which, from ali the
evidence obtainable, seems to hold the
last remains Of the famous sea fighter
the earliest glory of the American
navy. These will be buried with the
honor that they deserve, and a
triumph crowns the long labor Of
those who have entered into this
search with such enthusiasm and tire
less determination.
Holding as we do in honor above all
words the memory Of this deathless
American, We find it strange never
theless to understand the persistence
with which the effort has been con-
tinued to locate the relics of his body,
consigned to earth a century ago.
There is a perfectly natural and
wholesome desire in every human
heart that the physical form which
once served the soul of some one most
dear enshrined in it shall be tenderly
and reverently treated. This, how
ever, is mainly matter of personal
association. Aside from those who
hold certain theological opinions con-
meeting the body as it existed in this
life with another life in the future.
the sole thought or care of the sur
Vivor for the remains of one departed
must depend upon some such form of
sentiment. After the lapse of many
decades and the death of every hu-
man companion, the basis for this
sentiment dwindles and it's reason ap-
parently disappears.
1t is well that every nation should
hold its great ones in immemorial
honor. There is no more impressive
spot on the face of the globe than
Westminster Abbey, crowded as it is
with tablets, effigies and other me-
MORALS of the iIlustrious dead. To
muse there for an hour is a high les
son in history. 1t matters nothing to
the visitor whether the dust and ashes
of these great ones actually repose
beneath the pavement, or whether
they mingle with the soil of distant
and unapproachable lands, or whether
they have sunk forever to unplumbed
depths Of the sea. 1t is the memory
OF the man that is great. that is for
ever consecrated; and before that
memory the mindful debtor to his
glory bows. Perhaps it were even
better, were it possible to recover
these poor remains, not to make the
search; or confuse the ideal of a
deathless spirit in its infinite advance
with the shrunken memorial of the
house where once it dwelt.
Great and due honor will be paid to
the remains of John Paul Jones. 1t
Hil not be without its reward if this
event brings again TO mind the deeds
he did, the sacrifices he made, his
valor, the strength and color of his
intrepid soul and all that such spirit
and fame mean to the republic We
stand more firmly and go forth better
men for every reminder of the patriot
life; for every incitement to the ven-
ture that counts life and its rewards
