THE AMERICAN PERIL,
How Older Countries View the Rise
or the United States,


The American peril:
Is the great American nation one OF
those mighty empires which have risen
IN the world now and then. dwarting
all other organizations OF society?
This question Is OF immense import
to Europe. Within the last few years
an enormous literature has grown up
around the subject Among modern
socloiogists none speaks with greater
authority than Guglielmo Ferrero.
Long and scientifically he has studied
our country; his opinion Of the present,
his forecast of the future, represent
the best European thought upon the
destinies OF the United States. To
many 1t Will seem an eXaggeration of
our greatness; TO others ii will show an
undue distrust OF democracy; but, In
any case, Ii Is the word Of scientific
historihn-of man who Is looking for
The truth. Neither wealth nor science
can change the laws that govern the
growth OF nations. For Signor Fer
zero the United States stands today In
the position OF the Roman Empire In
the days OF Augustus. He pictures all
America which Is bound to 20 the
Roman way, increasing In power
draining mcalcula BILE wealth from that
orient which enriched Rome, forced
in spite Of hereditary democratic ideals
to make itself strong by land and sea
In order to hold It's own and guard Its
world wide trading flag, overshadow-
Ing the huge modern world as Rome
did the little civilization of the Medi-
ter1auean.
After calm reflection aud IN cold,
scientific way, the thinkers and states
men of old Europe predict for the new
world this visionary future. and brood
Ing over 1t they seem to be in the very
shadow OF the peril. The practical
American, as he drops from the tail
end OF street car and goes about his
business, may not realize that Europe
sees In him the terrible fellow who Is
10 go staggering down the way Of the
world, taking the wall of every one. in

The star. wer. Once Human Eyes.

The Stars Were Once Human Eyes.
The most remarkable belief or super
stition concerning the human eye Is
one that Is current in Australia
Among the natives OF that country 1t
Is the general belief that the left eye
Of every chief becomes star the mo-
rnent the chief in question Is done with
1t. The sun, they say. is the eye of the
greater god" and the moon the eye of
the lesser god.' All the stars were
once the left optics of human beings of
high rank. Shungle, celebrated chief,
once ate the eye Of q valiant chief,
thinking thereby to increase the bril-
liancy of his own EYE star" But the
eye burned through Shungles belly
and killed him, whereupon his own left
eye became joined to the one he had
eaten. and the two may now be seen
as beautiful double star lying just to
the east Of the Southern Cross.

joe B. Williams Case.

Deputy U. S. Marshal Wade
Brown. who waited night before last
to catch the steamer Joe b. Williams
to serve some papers in a small libel
claim, secured service on the the
boat this morning. and was mistaken
in the boat he thought was the Will
l.tms, a night or two ago when he
sat up and waited for her.
ID Deputy Marshal Brown learned
that the Williams was still below and
began investigating. finding that the
boat he supposed to be the VIII
liams was another craft. He saw the
Williams coming up this morning
and at 10 o'clock tied her up. The
craft was left in charge of Chief
Mate Beck and Capt. Hite promptly
made bond and secured the release
of the boat. The claim was brought
by a seaman and is for a few dol
lars, amounting to very little. The
case will come up. before the court
regularly.

eleven years Some say $s4 and the
mayor says $62.S0. For the sake OF
argument, say the mayor is right.
Then he must explain how he hopes
to reduce the cost of lights, for his
own figures are over the price the
city has been offered lights at pri-
yate contract. BY spending about
$40, 900, the city may get more
lights. but this $40 900 is an addi-
tional expense which then must be
figured into the total cost per light
for year. Perhaps 1t would cost
no more to operate the light plant
with 40 lights added. than It does
now, but the additional investment
to enable the city to get these forty
ghts must be added to the cost OF
lights, Just the same as If more nor
ey were paid for additional fuel, car
bon or labor. Mr.. Mayor. show the
people how you expect to reduce the
proportionate cost of street lights, or
acknowledge that you are four-flush-
ing.

The Child Labor Rill.

Frankfort, Ky, March Sit is
probable that no fight will be made
in the senate over the child labor
bill The bill as adopted is not en-
tirely satisfactory to either the en-
ployers or the labor organizations,
(which have had representatives here
lall during the present session fight
ing for certain other provision, but
the legislators who gave it their at
tention are satisfied that 1t improves
present conditions. and, much better
than the present statute, protects
the working children in the state.

ton; Munnell Wilson, of Hopkins.

members of the immigration aud la
Dor committee of the house, gave
much attention and thought to the

Louisville seems to have rather
queer way of investing the peoples
money. The city of Louisville owns
the water company, but for several
years it has been controlled by So
called private company, and the city
has had practically no control over
it's own property, and has had to
pay for its own water. The city al
so has an interest in the gas and
light company, owning one-fourth OF
the gas company, and one-sixth Of
the light company, and still is pay
ing sS4 a light for street lights such
as Mayor Yeiser says company says
can be furnished here for s17..5O-
provided, of course, the city buys the
machinery.

Juries are uncertain things. A
libel suit against the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal has just been finish
ed and the Judgment of the twelve
men who composed the jury varied
TO the extent of from $4,000 down
TO 500. Seven were for not over 500,
two were for $4,000. two for $780,
600, and one for $4,000. If the
facts or evidence in any one case can
produce in the minds of twelve men
such disparity of opinion, the jury
system is a mighty bad thing for men
not addicted to games of chance.

DRIFTING INTO SOCIALISM.

Nobody will be much surprised at
the resignation of Joseph Medill Pat
terson, Chicago's commissioner of
public works, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. Mr.. Patterson was
one of Mayor DUNES most enthusi-
astic assistants in the business of So
cializing Chicago, but he found that
the municipal ownership idea was
inadequate. lie is an active and sim
cere young man. and aims to cure
the social ills which he sees, Or
thinks he sees, around him. But he
discovered that Mayor Dunno would
not be able to accomplish the things
he set out to do, and he steps down.
1t is presumed that he now becomes
a Socialist without any qualification
or dlution.
This development was to be ex-
pected. There is no halfway house
for an ardent person who embraces
the municipal ownership fad. He
must go clean over to socialism soon
or late, and the more enthusiastic
he Is the sooner he will make the
transit. Most of the municipal own
ership people who really believe in
that idea will land in socialism ulti
mately. Some persons adopt that fad
with the hope of getting Office under
II. or of being bought off by one or
the other of the two big parties.
Young Mr.. Patterson, however, was
not a man Of that sort. He believed
in it as a cure for social evils, and
is likely now to go over to the party
which rejects the mild remedies of
the municipal ownership men, and
would place all the important activi-
ties under state control.
Patterson will probably go from
Dunno to Debs. The step undoubt-
eddy seemed long to him year or
two ago, but il is shorter than 1t
looked II will have to be made
eventually by most of the municipal
ownership people who are sincere.
II is a step in the logical process of
the person who thinks there is some
short cut in the remedying of the
abuses and ills of society. If the
state is to be allowed to own and
manage all the public utilities, 1t
will be. well for 1t to take charge of
the rest of the great interests and ac-
tivities. To this complexion munich
pal ownership comes at last. Debs
poiled 400, 900 votes for president in
1904. Probably he will get few
hundred thousand more votes in
1908. But neither Debs nor any 9th
err Socialist will ever carry the
United States. Fads have a short
run in this country, though some of
them make quite a stir while they
last. Gen. James b. Weaver polled
100000 votes for president as
head of the Populists In 1872.
Where is the Populist party now?

The city of Louisville is paying

seems TO be pleased at an offer from
a new company to furnish them at
$74 a year. The Louisville Herald
of last night said 1.-The report of
the Gas company was made in re-
spouse to a resolution passed some
time ago. 1t set forth that the city
owns one-fourth of the stock of the
Gas company and one-sixth of that OF
the lighting company, and that the
municipal control is absolute. The
city has the right to purchase the
entire stock of the company upon the
expiration of the charter in 1915"
