MAKING the streets Attractive.

There Is a movement on foot in many
German cities to stimulate interest In
such decoration Of houses. Prizes are
given for the finest effects obtained
with flowers so displayed and much Is
expected in the way of Frightening and
adjoining streets Even in American
cities. where trees, shrubbery and flow
ers are common in full view of the
street in residence districts, much
might be done to make business thor
oughfares more attractive by the use
of flowers in windows, says the Cleve-
land Leader. There are some striking
object lessons of that kind in Toronto.
Ont IT Is in no sense Inconsistent
with the highest degree of business abil-
ity to take Il deep interest in flowers
and the identifying of cities. Japan
has taught the world what a nation de
voted to art and natures beauties can
do in the hardest tests of strength, fOrti-
tude and courage

DENIAL AND AFFIRMATION OF
THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The courses of the Theodore Roosevelt
professorship OF American History at
the University Of Berlin were opened on
the 9th, in the presence OF the emperor,
by the first incumbent OF the chair,
Prof. John W. Burgess, OF Columbia
University. New YORK. On later date
Prof. Burgess was to begin the develop
ment of his especial subject, 1.-THE Con-
stitntion and Constitutional History OF
the United States" On this first occa
sion. be confined himself to reading a
letter from the president Of the United
States to himself, authorizing most
friendly greetings to the University. and
to delivering short address in German
on somewhat general subjects. This
address was promptly printed on the
University press and was widely circu-
lated in official and scholastic circles.
Tue following two paragraphs immedi.
ately attracted attention. and were cab
led to this country
In my first meeting with the president
after my appointment to this professor
ship 1t pleased him to address me as an
ambassador OF peace, friendship and civ
ilization. He gave proof through this
that he recognized and appreciated the
great idea which his majesty, the great
a nd magnanimous German Emperor
gave to the world, JAMS, 1905. 1t is
the opinion Of the president. it is the
opinion OF my countrymen in general,
that this idea is the most pregnant that
h as come forth in our time, and that 1t
gives evidence Of the great sense Of cnl-
ture, and extraordinary political wisdom
Of its mighty author.
The expression OF this idea makes it
possible to subject questions OF the high.
est importance which can scarcely be
touched upon in diplomatic way to the
most fundamental examination and the
most friendly consideration. There are,
for exampls,: two doctrines in the policy
Of the United States, which are regarded
as almost holy doctrines, the discussion
of which may not even be proposed by a
: foreign power without risk OF 'awsking
hostility in the United States. These
are the high protective tariff theory and
the Monroe doctrine. Our politicians
do not appear to have the least notion
that both of these doctrines are almost
obsolete, and that the reconstruction OF
European states and their constitutions,
and the acceptance by the United States
itself of it's position rs world power,
have made them both nearly senseless

What appears to be a reputation Of
the position of Professor Burgess on the
Monroe doctrine appeared in an Associ.
ated press dispatch from Washington
under date OF the 30th, which reported
that:
At the White House today it was re-
ported that Professor Burgess is simply
a private citizen, holding no official pos.
ition from this government His obser.
walton regarding the Monroe doctrine
1t was said, was simply an expression
OF his own personal views, which are di-
ametrically opposite to those held by
the administration and the American
people.

SCApEGOATS SACRIFICED.

Samuel Unterme yer declares that in
the pretended reorganization OF the
Mutual Life Insuran'e company "a few
scapegoats were sacrificed. but the men
who were responsible for the scandal
and thevery are in power today"
That is Just what the public must
look out for in the regulation OF com
merci al evils as we'll az in the regulation
of political evils. With all of these ex-
poses We are being treated to a large
amount of buncombe.
| IL it surprising that these influential
rascals Dave the temerity to further i'm
hose on the people? Not in the least.
They know that the public is long suffer-
ing and patient and they imagine, with
goo reason too, that whole LOT OF pre-.
tense and avery little actual reform will
90 a long ways toward appeasing public
indignation.
Is it any wonder that these influential
rascals have the ,emerity to further inn
pose ON the public? We may obtain
hint OF the notion they have OF the state
OF the ,ublc mind when We observe the
see ming Indifference on the part. OF the
public towards the entertainments, to
which the republican national commit
tee was party. Although it has been
charged ndsadmitted that several hum
bred thousand dollars of money belong
ing to the insurance policy holders were
traced to the republican party's treasury,
there has been no general demand on
the part of the public that the republic
can party restore these iIlgotten gains.
Republican leaders calmly close their
| eyes to the criticisms heard II this line
! and they make no prelense whatever at
restoration.
Let the thoughtful citizen ponder up
on these things. If, after all these ex.
posures, if, after the widespread discus
sion the revelations Of graft and specu'a'
ton have brought about, the republican
national committee can escape with the
stolen money known to be in it's possess
sion, then why may hot the rich rascals
who are yet in charge Of the great incur
ance companies, make a little pretense
toward reform while they are all the
time building up new and skil!ul plans
for theft and plumber on an even larger
scale?
II the man Who, as chairman of the
republican national committee, particle
pAte1 in the misapprop'iation of several
bundled thousand dollars OF policyhold.
ers' money can continue in the presi.
dents cabinet, why may not the men
responsible for the scandals fin insurance
companies contir ue in power in those
concerns?

minds. In this age of pro-

grace allowed for the making

a certain act is the best thing
for you do take the leap.

sEnrNG TROUHLE AHEAD.

Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of the Uni ted States Court of Appeals. Chicago, recently said;
 The national government has no right to make treaty that will interfere with the regulations of schools by a State. California or any other State has the right guaranteed to it under the Constitution of the United states to chooses. Hence any treaty which con filcts with a States riehts to regulate it's owf schools is void.
 Commenting on that statement, an esteemed Republican contemporary, The New Bedford Standard, says that what the Supreme Court Of the United States would say to Judge Grosscup's eonten- tion cannot, of course. be positively af- frmeda But the principle seems req sonable enough that the national gov ernment cannot make a legal treaty when 1t attempts to regulate matters over which it has no legal control. No body questions-as yet--that the States have complete authority over their own schools. as they have over their own fire departments or their street light ing. If the national government should undertake to pass laws regulating the public schools of Massachusetts or Gal ifornia, it would be told that it was going outside of its rightful domain. How then can it presume to regulate the public schools of Massachusetts or California by means of a treaty to which portion of the government and a foreign nation are the only executing parties? Does the constitutional pro- vision that a treaty Is the supreme aF hu Ia dt,a f,- TF 1t does, there will be plenty of difficulty about making treaties in the future"
 It may be that the Supreme Court of the United states will never be called on to pass on this delicate question. but on the other hand it may have to do so. It has been proposed to bring the San Francisco question before the Federal courts of California, and If that Is done the matter will doubtless go to the Supreme Court on appeal and then we shall know just what that body will do. If MT. Roosevelt can succeed in packing that body with anti-states Rights men before the case reaches it that tribunal may hold that the Fed eral government can control the public schools of any State or city, whether the matter in controversy be racial or any other question which the local au- thorities may wish to decide and con trol for themselves
 But we are somewhat curious to know what Massachusetts, for example, will do if the highest judicial authority in the government should hold in effect that a treaty made by the United States with any other nation is supe- rior to the local laws of that State concerning school regulations. The old Bay State has some educational fads, fancies and rules of it's own that 1t would not like to see abrcgated or over ridden. If the Federal govern nient, by treaty or otherwise, should interfere with that States long estab lished custom of regulating her schools what would her people do about 1t? Would they resist, vi ct armis, seccde or submit to the imposition? The Standard very plainly realizes that the case may come home 10 New England as well as to the Pacific slope, and 1t evidently is not pleased with the pros- pect.
