Awards at st. Louis.

The accusations in the matter of the ST.
Louis Fair awards should be thoroughly in
vestigated. They are of the gravest char
acter, and affect other than our own inter-
ests. All the world was invited to partici-
pate in the displays, and all the leading
nations, with the exception of Russia ac-
cepted the invitation. The prizes were
worth contending for, and promised when
secured nice rewards to the winners in the
way of advertisements. Now we are told
of wholesale and far-reaching frauds per-
petrated in the name of the Fair as re-
spects prizes, by which a certain degree of
doubt is made 10 attach to the decisions
rendered The management of the Fair, it
is safe to assume, will bestir itself to ascer-
tain all the facts and lay them before the
public

All reports indicate that the danger of
river disaster this spring has passed with
the breaking of the ice and it's safe dis
charge to the bay. Fortunately the thaw
came gradually and the ice went out by
degrees. so that there was no gorging at
the bridges. 1t is still coming down stream
from far above, yet unless there are eX-
ceptionaly heavy rains there is no reason
whatever to apprehend flood this year.
The business men of Washington whose
interests are exposed to this possibility VIII

And with reorganized democracy con-
trolled by the radical wing. will you be

ITS really too early for that. Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof
The conservative democrats will enjoy the
quotation Mr.. Bryan employed in replying
to the question about his own future. But

party took it's most radical stand: and while
he consented to last years conservative

for that particular feature of radicalsm
which the country has rejected with most
emphasis. His name invariably and at all
times suggests cheap money. He continues
to pay the penalty of his fame. From silver
he came, and unto silver he must return. We
are told that the silver question is dead But
Mr.. Bryan does not say So He holds to
the contrary opinion. The question, as he
believes, Is merely in allegiance, and may
become very much alive again at any time.
So that if Mr.. Bryan should be nominated
in 1908, his candidacy, no matter what the
complexion of the Senate at that time.
would be handicapped by the memories of
his past deliverances and the menace of
his present views on the money question.
Mr. Bryan thinks that radicalsm ought
to sweep the country in 1908. If it does

ception of the meaning of this word to the
peasantry Not even the excitement at
tending the drafts during the civil war
is type of the terror which is caused by
the announcement that the car intends to

try is today In most delicate state of I'M

that new draft of half a million men is to

to blow the embers of discomfort into
wild flame of panic and riot and revolu-

Already the st. Petersburg dispatches are
hlnting at the grave peru or the empire

sentiment is growing stronger with each
fresh installment of reports from the front.
When the full magnitude of the disaster
to the armies in Manchuria has been re-
corded and is realized by the Russian peo-
pie it is by no means unlikely that the
present bellicose attitude of the govern
ment may suddenly change into one which
will accommodate or even invite the pro-
posal Of peace terms by Japan.
