less of the tremendous avoirdupois of

Pete, and perhaps some with propositions
to teach Pete better manners. There viii
be airship men pleading with certain ex-
by undertaking a trip to the clouds in order
to give their sport a new prestige. There
will perhaps be rival submarine boat

demonstrate that they have the only trust

SchmitZ Guilty.

Mayor Schmitz's conviction in San Fran
cisco. it is said surprised his friends. 1t
surprised nobody else. Indeed, the country
would have been amazed if the trial had
yielded any other result. 1t would at the
same time have been deeply shocked, for
such an outcome would have been re-
garded as the failure of the Pacific coast
metropolis to meet it's duty squarely, and
to do thoroughly the work of regeneration
that must be finished before there can be
hope of municipal Righteousness and ad
vancement.
1t might have been difficult to convict
SChmitz without the testimony of Ruef,
his accomplice in The game of mulctng
the restaurant keepers of their money
under the threat of refusing renewals of
their licenses. Ruefs confession made the
course clear and comparatively easy. But
it was not required to persuade the major
ity of people that Schmitz had been en-
gagged in a corrupt game.
The troubles of the restaurant keepers
are not regarded measuring the extent
of tho Schmitz-Ruef graft. 1t is believed
that the game extended to include wide
range of enterprises, legitimate and other
wise. Indeed. if the tales that come from
San Francisco are to be credited Schmitz
and Ruef let no chance to turn a dishonest
dollar go unimproved. The restaurant
license game apparently only the least
of their schemes.
This man who was yesterday convicted, it
is to be remembered. is today the mayor of
San Francisco. He has had the effrontery
to retain his office. despite the fact that
he was long ago accused formally and in
dicted of crimes sufficient, if proved to send
him to the penitentary for a long term.
He did in fact. propose a form of semi
abdication. but it fell through. 1t was
perhaps never sincerely intended to sue
coed.
Schmitz had a chance such as comes to
few men. Raised from obscurity by po-
litical friends. he was made mayor Of a
great city and given the reins of power.
Had he shown himself true to the ordinary
concept of official righteousness he might
at least have exposed the graft that even
then was rife. But be willing to play
the game of those who had chosen him. He
was willing tool. Posing as the friend of
the laboring classes. he was in truth rob-
bling them by giving the city eXtrava-
gantly expensive administration. When
Francisco last year Schmitz seemed to
emerge for time from the slime of corrup-
ton and there was a period when the coun-
try applauded him for his vigor and intelli-
gence But the chaotic conditions that fol-
lowed the disaster tempted him and he
dove deeper than ever into graft He stands
today a thoroughly despised figure of a
man.

Flag Day.

This is Flag day as indeed is every
day in the year to the true patriot. But
this day especially set apart for the
formal observance of the flag. the ex-
preston of the sentiment which attaches to
il and which causes it to become the en-
blem of power. The flag alone is mere
piece of bunting But the flag, plus the
sentiment which is called national spirit,
is a symbol of enlightenment, power al
civilization.
The custom of designating a certain day
for this observance. the display of the flag
and the holding of special exercises origi-
mated in Washington, and therefore the
citizens of the capital take deep interest
in it and hope to see it spread throughout
the country. 1t is a wholesome institution,
and It is especially gratifying to find that
it is firmly established in the public schools.
where the children are taught the true
meaning of the flag and encouraged to
respect it,
The far-faring traveller. in foreign land =,
feels an neXpressible thrill upon seeing the
flag of his nation afloat in the breeze. At
home ne has probably regarded it as merely
a part of the normal landscape. He has
seen it on the government buildings on the
school houses and here and there on private
structures. on special occasions he has
seen it everywhere. When he goes abroad
he misses it, and when at last, perhaps on
consulate or warship or an exceptional
merchantmen, he sees the beloved Stars and
Stripes his heart swells and he realizes what
the flag means TO him. That becomes flag
day for him. and he never forgets the
experience.

Orchards Testimony.

Harry Orchard was released yesterday
from the ordeal of cross-examination after
displaying the most extraordinary calmness
in the face of a pitiless hail of questions.
Once only did amazing nerve desert him,
and that was at the moment when those
who had been studying the case from a
psychological Viewpoint had expected to see
him display emotion. 1t was when he spoke
of the reasons which animated him in con-
Tossing his crimes. If Orchard has been
acting a part he has risen to heights of art
seldom attained by men and women of the
greatest genius. If he has been lying
throughout he has maintained his pose as
tonishingly. If his change of heart was as
when he broke into tears and his voice fall
tered. None of the great tragedians of
history could have simulated sincerity bet
ter or more effectively.
This man is a wonder of either sustained
mendacity or complete repentance His tale
has been shocking from beginning to end.
revealing depth of depravity and callous-
ness rarely known even in frontier regions
where law is discredited and the rule of per-
sonal prowess and craft prevails. But it has
been consistent throughout, and whether it
undue persuasion or a malevolent desire to
shift the blame upon others, or is accepted
as genuine as the result of religious con-
version and a sudden soul awakening it
must stand as a marvel of human nature
the like of which has never before been
known.

The jamestown Fair.

Washing tonians who now returning
from the jamestown exposition bring re-
ports of great improvement in the con-
ditions there. a marked advance toward
completion and the dawning of a bright
promise of an enterprise of high order
of merit. There was a time when the story
told by the tourist was doleful one. a tale
Of iuCompletcuess and apparent chaos. But
since the formal opening of the big fair it's
managers have secured necessary financial
assistance and profting by their expert
ences of the winter and spring they have
applied their funds to good effect, with the
result today that the exposition is rapidly
assuming shape. In a very short time it
should be fully ready for visitors in every
department.
It is striking fact that at this time the
least advanced of all of the exposition fea-
lures is the work undertaken by the gov
eminent, notably the naval pier or water
gate which was designed as one of the most
attractive items in the whole equipment. This
construction was planned and the contract
was let in ample season to have insured
completion by the time the exposition was
formally declared open. But Tor reasons
which are not fully explained it has Jagged
AMI presents an aspect of incompleteness
that inspires. many sAarp comments. For
this delay the exposition managers are in
no sense or degree to blame. They have
appealed to the government 20 hasten the
work. but their efforts to secure results
have thus far been unavailins. The con-
trac, carries an insignificant penalty clause.
There has apparently been no hustling on
the job
This is a great pity. Had the govern
ment fulfilled its promise and done its work
promptly there would have been at least one
Inspiring feature ready when the EXPOSE
ton was opened. The great naval assem-
blages would have had far greater sig
HifCance and effectiveness If the water gate
which planned largely for use in con-
nectiOn with these displays of sea power,
had been available for use. 1t is a sad
commentary upon the governments enter
prise that the naval officers of other pow
ers have been compelled, because of the
laxness of the official representatives, to
land at the exposition at ordinary wharves
while the beautiful official pier especially
designed for their accommodation remained
an unsightly mass of scaffolding.
II is to be hoped that the United States
will follow the example of the exposition
managers themselves and hasten it's work
at Jamestown. The fair authorities are
making good today and they should be
encouraged by Uncle Sam to continue their
praiseWorthy efforts.

Mr.. Noyes' Speech.
From the Washington Post today.

FROM The Washington Post today.
The remarks of Mr.. Crosby S. Noyes of
Washington before the National Editorial
Association at jamestown yesterday were
full of good humor, shrewd but kindly crit
icism, and valuable information acquired
in long and busy life. A resume of Mr..
Noyes remarks is printed in the Post to-
day, and will prove to be particularly in
teresting to Washngtonians who know the
speaker. The ingenious comparison of the
careers of Capt. John Smith and President
Theodore Roosevelt makes a most forcible
illustration of the power Of the press in
celebrating heroic deeds. John Smith labor
ed under peculiarly heavy handicap in be-
ing deprived of the aid of the press, while
Mr.. Roosevelt has been greatly assisted In
his reforms by the vigorous support of the
newspapers. Mr.. NoyeS' speech Is most
entertaining and Illuminating contribution
to the literature dealing with the relations
of public men and the press. AS the dean
of Washington journalists, he speaks with
authority and independence. setting forth
with his customary clearness and crispness
a few truths well worthy of the attention
of the journalists who heard him and of the
public which reads his speech.
