Our little hold on Cuba, our interpretation
in Santo Domingo, our role in Vene-
zuela's foreign affairs and sundry other
matters have tended TO deepen a sus-
pioion already existing in suspicious
minds that 'fte United States intends
10 pLayttAe part of regulator in all the
affairs OF the Western world. The Con-
ference and mere effectively the Visit OF
Secretary Roof have done much toward
the correction Of these notions.
On our side the meeting has led to
the publication Of much instructive
matter, which has given our people a
better acquaintance with and n larger
knowledge Of the affairs Of our neigh
bors. Perhaps the most important d.
rect result Of the conference appears in
the provision for a reorganization Of
the Bureau of American Republics On a
more effective scale. This proceeding
does not involve action by the Govern
ments interested in that institution. The
bureau exises already and its direction
and management and the purposes to
which its annual income Of some $4,000
is devoted are all In the hands Of
a committee which consists OF all the
Latin American Ambassadors and Min
listers resident in Washington, with the
Secretary. OF State Of this country 10 its
chairman. II properly managed this
bureau could be made q vastly helpful
force in the international affairs Of the
Western Hemisphere.
a The immediate and practical results of
the Conference are not and could not
have been made clearly apparent and
striking, but some excellent seed has
been sown and the fruit will appear in
due season.

A s~tatesman's discovery.

While all the earth was watching the
landing of the Greatest Conservative
Force another mighty statesman slipped
into his home. ~unobserved. ~unheralded,
unnoticed. The Hon. JOHN SHARP WILL
JAMS, poet and psrliamentarian, was
hidden in the shadow of a mightier
power, but he brought a message that
the whole nation should heed. He has
been resting in England and in Wales,
with eyes wide open and mind alert to
catch and register the customs of their
people. In his own words:
Everybody IN England loves spoEs. II Ia cricket.
boat racing and the like everywhere one goes.
Tho people. high and low. secm Imbued with tho
spirit OF wholesome sport, which In my mind largely
accounts for the hardihOod Of the English nation.
Frequently I stopped over q day and night in the
smaller towns purposely TO minGle with the mon
who ti the soil. and I want TO say that the love of
sport is not restricted 10 the city folk. The people
who dwell on the ARMS enjoy the national sports
and manifest the keenest interest in everything
appertAining thereto
GThus do the giants Of public life edu-
cate the people. No longer can there be
grouse for ignorance Of the English
peoples fondness for athletic sports.
The universal American impression,
created by book writer's, reporters and
unofficial travellers. that none but cook
neys and the children Of the nobility n
gage in outdoor exercises and play open
air games, is once and for all dispelled.
The Hon. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS has
discovered the English agriculturist and
farm labOrer at play, and HODGE can no
more be misunderstood by the enlight-
ened people Of the United States. Mr..
WILLIAMS should travel more. Some
day he might be able to tell his country
men whether the sun rises in the eas In
far, unknown countries such ~ France
and Germany.

The Bones OF Leonardo.

The disregard for mere human senti-
ment that is Characteristic Of modern
science appears In a peculiarly unpleas-
ant tight when it involves the disturbing
of the ashes Of the dead. When It is a
matter Of thousands Of years ago the
ghoulish work may be pslliated in view
Of results like the reconstruction If a
peoples civilization from the rubbish OF
Ninevite or Babyionian back yards, or the
salving Of q Greek poem or political pam
phlet from an Egyptian muck heap, or
the defining Of the walls Of PRIAM's
lion, around which ACHILLES dragged
HECroR's corpse. The dead there have
been dead 90 long that there is little more
Of their bones than Of their clay tablets
and potsherds and scraps Of inery.
Still, RAMEsRs's mummifed CORPSE
behind q museum case, HELEN's golden
crown, rihed from tho grave, on q
wOman's head, seem out Of place.
The opening Of tombs nearer 3 o us in
time out Of mere curiosity or to satisfy
scientific ~scopticism is more repulsive
and Is becoming pretty common. A
few years ago the reverent Germans
dug up the Holy Roman Emperors at
Speyer. measured their bones and their
skulls and ticketed them all correctly.
Tho proud Franooniap Kaisers, the
HENRY who wont TO Canossa, the wife OF
FREDERICK BARBABossA, the RUDOLPH
who founded the Hapsburg power, were
all subjected to the measuring tame
Of the professors. The other day the
cofin Of the great CHARLES at Aachen
was opened. They missed the chance
OF bringing CHARLEMA0NE and WTLHRLM
II. face to face, but part Of the grave
clothes were taken 10 deck a Berlin
art museum.
The poets and philosophers have not
escaped. Some have been found in
their last resting places and some have
not. There have been interesting post
mortem descriptions Of their wretched
clay. There have also been splendid
transposals Of the bodies from the places
where they should have stayed to others
for instance DANTE from the Ravenna
that sheltered him to the Florence that
hated him. Now comes the u OF
LEONARDO ,DA VINcI, provided the
seekers are able to find him.

The Good Hearted Policeman.

One Of the City Magistrates before
whom a petty offender was arraigned
this week commended the policeman
who had made the arrest because he
urged leniency for the prisoner. The
Magistrate called the policeman one Of
the biggest hearted men on the force
and added that II more policemen Of his
kind were on the East Side that quarter
Of the city would be a pleasanter place
TO live in.
Undoubtedly the patrolman deserved
the kind words of the Judge, but to be-
lieve that the majority Of the police
are either malicious or hard hearted is
to make a serious mistake. Only the
youngest and most inexperienced Of
policemen enjoy making an arrest.
The seasoned and wise petrolman en-
deavors in every way to avoid the final
exercise Of his authority. He Shoes
petty miscreants OF his post, helps
drunken men on their ways, warns dis
turbers Of the peace to behave them
selves, and is blind to as much as he can
with safety neglect to see. In this he ia
not inspired entirely by Astounding love
Of his fellow men. tits a great nuisance
to go to court.
In other ways policemen display a
generosity and charity that is often
overlooked. They have been known,
and not infrequently, to put their hands
in their pockets to pay for food for hun
cry men and women. II is not unheard
Of for a policeman to inconvenience
himself TO comfort a lost or strayed child.
Some men Of the nightstick humor
cranks to an extent that indicates an
amazing forbearance. Their day is not
a continuous round Of solemn p~atroIlinR
and repression Of lawless spirits. Thew
see and improve many opportunities to
do good.
II is the fact that most Of New York's
policemen are decent, clean men Of good
impulses that gives prominence TO the
sneaks and grafters in the department.
It is hardly worth while to mention a
brave or honest patrolman, because he ia
only one Of a great majority. The dis
creditable members Of the force ara
widely advertised because they violate
the usual order.

Weakness at Washington.

The responsibility for tho weak and
unsatisfactory attitude Of the Post Once
Department toward the movement 10 or
ganize its employees in a labor union 10
explained by the absence from Washing
ton OF Mr.. GEORGE BRUCE CoRTELYoU,
chairman Of the Republican national
committee and Postmaster General, and
his resumption Of his duties at the capital
will unquestionably be ~signali1ed by q
complete reversal Of the Departments
attitude. The public cannot but be en-
ragged and Disguised by an official state
ment which includes o. preposterous q
declaration as this:
1T vas stated expressly. however. that the
Department would AFFORD tho fullest protection TO
those who for reasons Of tbeir own do not zoe At
TO join the union
This is an u~ndisguised effort on the
part Of the Department to pander to
those ignorant and depraved persons
who believe that q man should be left at
liberty to carr his living without regard
to his membership in any secret, relig-
ious, ~fraternal or political organization.
It is a humiliating acceptance Of the
principle that membershipin a labor union
is not essential to the satisfactory per-
formance of an employees duties. 1t is
little short of contempt OF SAM GOMPERs.
There is no reason to believe that o
public, educated to the supe~rexoellence Of
unionism, keenly aware Of It's manifold
blessings and convinced that in unionism
alone lies the hope Of continued indi-
vidual and national welfare, will tolerate
long the application Of such a destructive
and sntiquated principle.
On the return Of Mr.. CoRTELYoU TO
Washington an immediate revision Of
this regulation will be had. Before snow
fies the Civil Service Commission viii

examination questions, Are you a men,

authenticity has survived the onslaughts
OF the latter day art critics. It would
BE- in harmony. therefore, II vagueness
and mystery were left TO the place where
he lies.
LEONARDO was buried in a church ut
Amboise and was left in peace there for
OvertwO centuries. About forty years ago
ARskNE HoUssAYE, who was interested
in the Renaissance as well IN other
things, held an Official position that
allowed him TO investigate with a rather
high hand. He made up his mind to
find LEONARDO, and having q brilliant
imagination, found him. Tho cofins In
the church were opened; q fragment Of
inscription on n was treated with
archaeological ingenuity, the Measure
ments Of the person inside were taken
and NJ. HoUssAYE announced his dis
covery. II was not accepted, however,
by the scientific world. Now his son,
who is in the French Academy, out Of
6lid respect has taken up his fathers
studies and proposes to discover the
grave for good. He is backed by French
and Italian committees.
When these scientific searchers have
found the genuine LEONARDO they In
tend to have tho remains transferred
from France to Italy. That seems
rather inept. The universal genius Of
the Renaissance could have no moro
appropriate burial place than amid the
chAteaux Of Touraine, with their memo
ries Of FRANCIS /. and Of RABELAIs. We
trust that M. HoUssAYB's quest viii be
fruitlese.
