LESSONS FROH J4MESTOWN.s

The dismal failure of the jamestown loc-
centennial Exposition. which closed its gates on
Saturday night for the last time, has occasloned
no general surprise and probably distressed m
body excent the promoters and showmen. From
start 10 finish the fair has been q costly demon
stratfon of almost everything which an exposi-
ton ought not TO he. Its dolefui ending shouid
complete the lesson that Americans have been
rapidly learning about the value OF such dls-
plays.
The average daily attendance Of four thou
sand reflects among other things, the genuine
sentiment entertained by the American people
toward the enterprise. Aside from the remote
ness Of Norfolk from the great centres of popu-
lation and the hopeessness of holding Il worlds
fair in a place devoid of various other attrac-
tions; aside, too, from wretched management,
there was the false emphasis upon the merely
spectacular However appropriate 1t may nave
been to celebrate the founding of jamestown
with great military and naval displays 1t was
foolish TO fancy that pageantS and powder could
make a worlds fair. Who cares 10 spend much
money and his precious annual vacation on such
q show? Pleasing as battleship man9uyres and
fireworks are to the eye, who cares 10 watch
nothing else for fortnight? But the scale and
scope Of a worlds fair demand large numbers
of fortnight visitors. The absence Of Industrial
and cultural features, however, was scarcely
more effective in keeping the throngs away
than was the general estimate Of the speculative
nature of the exposition. The public resents
the appearance OF attempts to tap the govern
ment Treasury under the plea of rendering
honor to heroes and epOchs.
The lack of popular enthusiasm with which
the management had TO contend from the outset
was transformed into positive disapproval by
delays blunders and squabbles. But let us

risian's axiom that exposition making is an ART,
not q business That is of course, no excuse
for unbusinesske methods: but there may be
some consolation in rejecting that, even with
the best administration. the enterprise would
have been neither popular nor profitable.

RIGHTS OF FLAT DWELLERS.

Just now, when the spirit of reform is in the
air, nothing appears to be sacred, and it almost
seems possible that some of the regulation pro-
vided for corporations is destined to overflow
upon the apartment house janitor. His reign
has been long, but new step toward als
overthrow has been taken. 1t had already been
determined by legal process that a Man who
paid for heated apartment had a right 10 de-
mand warmth enough TO thaw the frost frcm
the window panes by the middle of the after
noon during moderate weather, at least ana
now the edict has gone forth that the ruler Of

REGULATED STEPPING LIVELY.'

The report of the City Clubs 'clockers" that
the new subway policemen made the crowds
more orderly but that the trains stopped longer
at the stations, calls attention to what pay
for regulation. Whether it be subjected TO pub
lie or private regulation in stepping lively" a
New York crowd loses some of its ability 10
get there Under the good old system clothes
were torn, feet were tramplcd and occasionally
it became the painful duty of the guard hand
ling the gates to mar the nose of the last man
rushing TO get aboard by jamming the sliding
door upon it. but trains got away from such
stations as 18th street and the Grand Central
with marvellous expedition. Now, with uni
formed regulation overawing the platform,
there is an actual loss of five seconds.
In the presence of yigilant authority the New
York crowd loses its cunning. All the lifelong
training in stepping lively goes for naught,
and we can imagine from the doleful reports of
the City Clubs "cIockers' aforesaid that it be-
haves almost with a circumspect regard for the
principle of physics which declares that two
things cannot occupy the same place at the
same time. That biological rule according to
which humanity acquires through successive
generations fitness for its environment makes
the denizen of unregulated world q clumsy
inhabitant of a regulated universe. The IaigSc5
fGire of platform jams had speed in it, anyway.
We pay for the watchful eye of authority by
being later than usual to dinner

LIMOGES AND noLLYcoDDLEs

Ten days of discussion and media

alike to mollycoddles and jingoes The
suggestion OF the Post that the dispatch

who were afraid that such an act would
be such an "affront" to Japan that she

| Ky:
! The first and last news coming from
! Japan is that the government and peo-
! pie recognize the right of the United
States to move its fleet where 1t
pleases. The failure of the Japanese
to bristle and trot out their feet is a
sad disappointment to the anti-Roose-
welt ~mollycOddles,. who would almost
be glad to welcome war if it would
give them a chance I show Roosevelt
had made a mistake in refusing to OBJ
tain the consent of Japan before NOV
iIg the battleships.
The jingoes are also disappointed.
They expected to see wal declared the

summer newspapers worth reading.
All the newspaper offices were de-
luged with letters from these warlike
patriots, hurting taunts at Japan and
asking why the war was delayed. Ev-

Japan, so long as the fighting is con-
fined to the w~arsh1ps. a naval var
is the finest kind for the jingo land

The refusal of Japan t. become ex-

President Roosevelt is up against a
serious proposition, however, in facing
these critics. If he accepts the whole
some advice Of such mollycoddles as
the New York World and turns tail
to Japan. the jingoes will never love
him again. If he persists in moving
the fleet according to the programme
he will be committing such an act of
disGOurtesy toward Japan as no mol
lycOddle can tolerate. So he is in for
trouble whatever course he may adopt.
The probability is that he realizes
