MUNICIPAL PRESS AGENTS,

Unless the signs of the times are mis-
leading, the coming generation is likely
to read the following on the official
muuicipal ballots:
For Press Agent-John Imagination.
OF course the name may contain fewer
letters, but the characters will probably
mean the same thing, To those who
may be inclined to deny the possibility
Iii may be pointed out that evidence is
multiplying that the municipal press
agent is no longer fad, He is muni-
cipal ornamental of Importance. He is
growing in dignity and power
From Boston, unquestionably the
home of culture in the east, comes con-
sincing testimony. 1t has surrendered
to the publicity promoter Only the
other day did this advertisement in
bold faced type appear: "Now is the
time to visit Boston and see the most
beautiful summer city on the Atlantic
coast to the best advantage. All the
world IS invited to come to Boston's old
home week summer carnival. Something
doing every minute for seven days
City of Boston Publicity and lnforma'
ton Bureau"
Surely it must appear that the muni-
cipal press agent will soon be entitled
to a place on the city ticket. And per-
haps it is proper that Presidential can
didates and theatrical enterprises should
not be permitted to monopolize the ac-
tivities of a body OF energetic brain
workers. Boston's surrender may be
accounted an important victory for the
publicity promoter.

RESTAURANTS AND WAR.

In the little city OF Roanoke, Virginia,
late last Saturday night, as the direct
and almost immediate consequence OF
a dispute over fve-cent sandwich be-
tween an American patron and a waiter
in a Greek restaurant, nine cafes and
three shoe polishing stands kept by
Greeks and three Syrian shops were de-
molished by mob.
There will be no war between the
United States and the kingdom OF
Greece. however Not even an incident"
involving international negotiations Is
the result. These Greeks are not sup"
to the ways of the West Coast, They
appear to have large measure OF COM
mon sense. They have simply retained
counsel--as almost any man with
mob-wrecked restaurant on his hands
would do. no matter whether he hap
pened to be Briton. an American, an
Irishman, q Dutchman, Trojan
Carthagenian on an Italian-and this
lawyes says: The Greeks have conf
dence in the sense and fairness and
Justice of the Roanoke people and be-
lieve that they will be reimbursed ior
the damage that they have sustained
Furthermore, the United States attorney
for that Federal district, when asked
what he was going to DO about it, made
answer: "The case is not covered by
the Federal statues. The procedure
would be for the offended Greeks to
appeal to their government which would
then apply to the United States for
proper protection, and the Washington
government would refer the matter to
the governor of Virginia"
The same procedure as was followed
a decade and half ago in the matter
OF the mobbing and lynching of Italian
subjects confined in New 0rlans prison
on suspicion of having murdered the
chef of the city poliee-ani with the
result that the governor of Louisiana
informed the United States government
that public sentiment was such in his
state that no jury there would ever in
dict or convict the lynchers; then the
United States government informed that
of Italy that under the Federal Consti-
tuition the central government 10 power
less to coerce state government in such
matters; and fnally-but a. q bit OF
absolutely voluntary action-the Fed
eral government paid indemnity to the
families of the murdered Italians. The
controversy was never "settlei" between
the two nations, however-never can be
while our Constitution stands as it Ii
today.
If the State of Virginia is gcot
enough or the city. of Roanoke is gooc
enough to indemnity these Greeks TO
their losses, all will be well; if not, tn
men have means OF redress in th'
civil courts. But the United States gov
ernment is powerless in the premises.
Somehow, however, American "jin
goes" who sympathize with the injured
persist in discerning "casus belh" il
that bit OF mob-rioting.-New Yorl

Our Fondness for Fruit.

We Americans possess an amazing
fondness for fruits, and we spend
lot of money to crafty it. For strict
ly orchard products which found
markets and presumably were con-
sumed during the year ending June
80. 1905, the American farmer received
SS3. 751 $40, and we raised in Ameri-
can vineyards during the same
period 1900 million pounds Of grapes,
which crop brought our American
vineyardist over S15.OOO.OOO more.
Nearly one-third of these grapes went
into wine, but the biggest portion
went to the consumer in eight and
four-pound baskets and were presum-
ably eaten. American sub-tropical
fruits brought the producers nearly
100000, and we imported from the
West Indies and southern Europe
$25,OOO,0O0 worth of tropical fruits.
