Room for All.

There's room for everybody in this busy
world of ours,
There's room for tllorns and thistles, and
there's room for fruits and flowers,
And statesmanship's a garden where all
kinds of blossoms grow;
An admiring world behoIds it. like a SPLEEN
did floral show.
From seeds of intellect we hope some good
ly fruit to win,
But many are the lilies which will neither
toll nor spin.
Yet they add a gracle beauty to the scene
which greets our eyes,
Where some of them are thinking thoughts
and some are looking wise.
We need the mental effort which may make
a man forget
The neat sartorfal habits that proclaim the
social pet;
But we also need the man who takes the
public to his heart
And wins their warm affection, just be-
cause he looks the part.
For the people have a notion. it is useless
to deny,
That a statesman should be picturesque and
pleasing to the eye.
And the fruit trees and the lilies-guard
them all, and none despse.
To think great thoughts is talent; but it's
genius to look wise.

Alabama.

The public has been expecting the re-
election, without a contest of both Mr.
Morgan and Mr.. Pettus, the senators from
Alabama. Their ability and influence and
long service had made them, according to
report, invinciblc at home. It would be a
matter Of pride as well as of self interest,

out of the fact that both Mr. Morgan and

ing, after having read Mr.. Bigelow's severe

find Secretary Taft, with natural indigna-

tarried on the canal zone precisely twenty
eight hours. Here is the Seeretary's proof:

After this, canal critics should furnish

MI. Cleveland.

If 1t is true-and several things point that
way-that Mr.. Cleveland is again factor
in New York politics. the republicans are
none too active in setting their house in
order. They must get together and pull to-
gether under their best leadership If they
are to hold the state.
AS the story goes-it was first referred to
publicly in The Star-Mr Cleveland is
greatly interested in Mr.. Mcclellan and
wants him to make a success of his sec
ond term mayor. He was of much as
sistance in last falls race. While many of
his personal friends and folowers-men of
power and northumberland for Mr.. WINS
and worked for him, Mr.. Cleveland urged
the election of Mr.. Mcclellan, and was very
much gratified when the latter pulled
through
The young mayor. If we may believe re-
port, now turns to the sage of Princeton
for counsel in the task he has in hand He
needs advice, and much of that offered him
in New York is of doubtful quality It
comes from machine sources and discredited
bosses, and does not square with his new
obligations and his new opportunities
While he does not want openly to break
with Tammany. he as little wants to be
known during his second term as Tam
many's man, obedient to it's every behest,
and playing continually into the hands of
the organization.
Mr.. Cleveland, living in the academic
calm of Princeton, should prove a valuable
counselor to his young friend. He knows
New York thoroughly, and is-or was in
his Buffalo days-a shrewd political man
ager. The country has known him so long
as a man for whom things We're done, it
has forgotten how clever he was In his
early days at doing things for himself.
In his race for sheriff of Erie county in
his race for mayor of Buffalo, and in his
campaign for the democratic nomination
for governor of New York, he proved him
self a good mixer and yote-getter, and
afterward a good executive. Has he the
pointers which will insure success to Mr..
Mcclellan?
As we may see, If by next fall the mayor
has New York city we'll in hand, Tam
many somewhat Modified, and the routine
of things running smoothly, democratic
prospects in the state race will be much
improved. In that event. while out of the
calculation himself, he should have some
thing to say about his party's candidate
for governor.

The Philippines.
The Boston Herald says:

The Boston Herald says:
The American people, as a whole. are
dead sick of the Philippine Islands, and the
whole business of colonial expansion The
great majority of the citizens of this coun-
try would be very glad to see some way
opened by which we could get out of the
Philippines without adopting the policy
which the republican orators in the cam
paign Of 1900 termed 'scuttling-
What authority has the esteemed Herald
for these statements? In what formal de-
Hyerance have the American people shown
that they are dead sick of the Philippine
Islands" and would be glad of way to
get out?
The war with Spain, one of the fruits of
which was the taking over by US of the
Philippine Islands, was as popular war as
ever was waged by any country North
and south. east and west. democrats and
republicans, declared it, and fought it with
enthusiasm
Admiral Dewey who destroyed the Span
ish feet in the harbor of Manila and held
fhe city at his mercy until the army could
arrive and take charge, returned home to
receive the plaudits of the whole country
We were all proud as proud could be Of
his achievements
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan, slightly shifting his
ground from the silver issue in order to
curry favor with the anti-imperiallsts of the
east. proposed that the country get out
of the Philippines in short order He had
been led to believe that the east and par
ucularly New England, was eager to in
dorse such policy at the polls. The re-
Spouse all but paralyzed him. So far as
that issue was concerned, Mr. Mckinley,
who stood for the stay there policy had
overwhelmingly the best of it. Expansion
was as heartily Endorsed as sound money
and protection We're.
Judge Parker, occupying rather an en-
barrassing and cquivocal position on the
money question, sought to revive the get
out Observation-Disclosures cry in his campaign
but 10 no purpose. The country would no
more take him seriously on that than on
other questions, and he was dfsastrousy
beaten.
From what source. then. does this Boston
newspaper get its information on this sub
ject? Or does it simply assume that be
cause it is sick OF the Philippines and wants
70 get out the people al large are? ''Scut-
tie could not be disguised. The Herald's
policy by any other name would smell as
extensively. We are not sick of the Philip
pines. and we are not going to get out.

United States secured the extradition of

Amusement and Germs.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


Last summer a carnival occurred at Coney
Island One of the amusements then in
augurated consisted in brushing the faces
of strangers with feather busters and
throwing clippings of colored paper into
their eyes. In a Coney Island crowd this
kind of thing goes" but it is hardly the
custom to introduce in the city. Yet on
New Years eve people who were abroad
in the streets were annoyed by tough young
men and tougher girls who jabbed busters
into their faces and blinded them with
handfuls of so-called confetti The amuse-
ment that is obtained through the discom-
fort and Injury of others is not the sort to
encourage; hence, 1t is urged that these
rude proceedings be eliminated from our
celebrations in future. For these papers,
often scraped from the gutter, and these
busters, thrust into the faces of sound and
diseased persons alike are capable of trans
ferring microbes in as great abundance as a
street car strap or a tin cup at a public
fountain. Let us be decent and considerable,
as the Indians are apt to be until they
come to live ON the Bowery.

they get busy with the affairs of others
