"cRACKING us up"

Mark Guy Pearse, an Englishman OF
note has been inspecting the people OF
the Unite! states and returning TO ms
island home he has presented his re-
mort. There IS pride in it for Amerl-
cahs.
Mr.. Pearse says he entered many
American public houses and never saw
a woman there. The saloons OF Lon
| con are full of women. He says that
he never saw drunken man until he
eached an English port.
Mr. pearse's inspection of the peo-
PIE of the United States appears TO
navr Been much after the fashion OF
INSPECTORS His claim to have IN
s1tted the American people ana
found rot a drunken man or a woman
in 4 saloon is the veriest slush. Drunk
en yaea are not an especially uncom-
mon sia.ht in any part of the United
states and while saloons in America
ale not crowded with women close
Inspection in any larger city would not
fa;i to find women of one class or an
other in saloons. Mr.. Pearse knew
better when he wrote his report. He
was simply "buttering" Americans up
one side and "slithering them down
the other"
The spirit of the American politician
in Dickens Martin Chuzzlewit' who
had "drawed on a man and fired on
mar" for legitimate criticism of AM
erican customs and who insisted that
eve must be cracked up" seems to
have descended to this generation. We
still want to be "cracked up"
If a foreigner wants a hearing in
this country he must choose between
caricature and apothosis. He must
make us mad or flatter us. If he goes
home and crucifies American customs
our newspapers quote him in resent
ment. If he makes the grossest mis-
statements in fattery, whether thru
ignorance or intent the papers quote
and praise him with serene and ludi-
crous self satisfaction. The American
people lean toward fattery like a pig
to a scratching corn cob. They resent
the unwilling of their vices and insist
on laudation of their virtues. eve
must be cracked up
The self satisfaction that comes with
f1attery is the smile on a FOOLS face.
To plume ourselves on ignorant or in
territorial assertions that we know are
untrue is to be ridiculous. Men get
drunk in America, despite Mr.. Pearses
Investigation and in the face of the
obituary notices all lives have not been
blameless Let us have done with the
fatterer of American customs and
quote the writer who tells the truth.
So shall we learn,

ILLINOIS PROPOSED PRIMARY LAW.

Illinois statesmen are framing new
the convention, is expected to prevent
the nomiration of a candidate by n
minority of the popular vote. The
conventions are only to act when no
candidate has received n majority Of
the entire vote cast In the party priu-
aries. Every candidate voting for
county or state conventions will start
with the same relative strength he had
in the primaries The object of the
tering vote for the smaller candidates
on the greater until one shall have a
majority on the whole.
The bill provides for the nomination
by the direct primary of all candidates
for office In the state. congressional
and senatorial districts and counties.
Nothing is said about cities in the
synopsis published, and special cleo
tics are distinctly excepted. State and
county conventions are retained. Dele
gates to county conventions and pre-
cinct committeeman are to be chosen
in the primaries. The chairmen or
county committees unite to make up
the higher committees. Apparently the
county conventions send delegates to
the state conventions and the latter
appoints the state committee, though
this is not quite clear from the synop-
sis.
The primaries are to be held in the
middle of April, the county conventions
three days later and the other conven-
lions any time after May l. Candidates
are dominated by fling petition. Party
ballots are to be of different color and
votes must declare their party affilla-
lions. The other provisions of the law
so far as made known, are those which
are common to nearly all primary laws.

1t is matter of congratulation when
Iowa men take prominence before the

not less SO. That four Iowa women
should constitute the special staff of

credit not only on the women who have
earned their right to prominence but
on the state itself.

gun to realize how deep and true theil
affection for Gen. Byers has been.
A local item in the Davenport DEM
ocrat states that John He'll, well
known contractor, was kicked by q
mule and narrowly escaped death. Even
had the gentleman with the suggestive
name been killed all had not been lost
and there would still have remained a
chance for a home made resurrection.
The gamblers have a city license to
raise He'll in Davenport.

THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.

IL. w. Blythe, In an interview in the
Washington Post.]
| The railway problem, as 1t is nov
presented to the American people, i
a very complicated and serious one
and yet do not doubt that some rea-
sonable and just mode of settling =
will be discovered.
1t is a question into which a multi.
tude Of factors enter. Take, for in
stance, the constant and never ceasinl
cry OF the public for better service
and increased facilities. The incessant
plea is for more trains. for faster
trains, for better station buildings,
and the like. All these must be sup
piled, no matter how great the addi-
tional expense to the roads Millions
upon millions of dollars will be expend-
ed for betterments in the next few
years by all the leading lines, in an
swer to this popular demand. On the
other hand, the tax gatherer is wide
awake to the duties of his office, and
is demanding more and more in the
way of contributions from the roads
to the public Golfers.
Now then, comes the agitation for
regulation of rates. The interstate
commerce commission. reiterating its
impotency in series of yearly COM
plants, puts itself in an attitude Of
hostility, which some might deem UNI
wise. AS regards some things, like
the prevention of rebates and discrim-
nations, many of the railways would
gladly cooperate. The opinion is en-
tertained by competent men that there
is law and authority sufficient now
to put an end to rebates and Unequal
tiles Of charges. Finally, the railroads
do not wish to makes rates that are
excessive and oppressive, for by so do
ing they would deprive themselves OF
the thing they are ALI striving for -
a maximum of revenue. But the sit
uation, serious though it may be, is by
no means hopeless. The American peo-
pie, in the long run, want to do the fair
and reasonable thing, and there Is no
doubt that the railroad case will be
settled in accordance with ideas of
Justice and moderation.
