Was Il Overlooked?

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
notice in your paper Of recent date
a list of streets selected by the Street
and Sewer Commissioners on which
they intend making improvements, but
fail to see one square in particular
which they have time and time again
h,en appealed to by the property hold
ers to put in passable condition.
refer to Lincoln street, from Eleventh
street to Pennsylvania avenue. Just
now it is almost impossible to get
through that square with any kind OF
team, and for that reason the ash
cart and the garbage cart are a thing
unknown during the entire winter, and
in consequence the garbage has to be
burned in teh stove-very unsanitary.
/ assure you-and the ashes dumped
IN the street, which certainly does not
help TO make a City Beautiful" This
square was probably overlooked in
making up the list. If so. and this
article should come to their notice. I
trust they will come TO our relief as
speedily as possible.
Yours respectfully,
Resident.

GOVERNOR IoHNsoNs VIEWS.

q OVERNOR JOHNSON. of Minnesota is
enjoying a substantial boom for the
Democratic nomination for President. The gov
ernor has a remarkable record. lie has twice
been elected chief magistrate of a strongly Re-
publican State, and he enjoys the confidence Of
the people Of his State. Many opponents of Col
onel Bryan look to Johnson to lead their party
in the coming campaign The views of the gov
ernor are published in order to show what kind
of man he is One of his expressions quoted
with approval by the New York papers that have
been raking the country in their efforts to build
up the opposition to Bryan follows: "The right
10 enjoy property is guaranteed under the Con-
sttution, and it can be denied to no citizen. The
man who has dollar invested in farm or factory
has a right to have that equity safeguarded from
the attacks Of the INSCRIPTIONS hnaucier on the
one hand and the extreme radical on the other"
This is the position that President Roosevelt
has taken all along, but it has brought upon him
The condemnation Of those who smile approva.
upon the Minnesota governor. The President
has been most emphatic in declaring that the
rights of property must be maintained. 1t is diff
cult TO see how those who have been so violently
opposed to President Roosevelt can support Cow
ernor Johnson. The truth is that many of the
opponents Of the President regard as extreme
radicaism any interference with the manipula-
tons Of the predatory group-an untenable posi-
ton.

DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS.

TN THE clash between the factions OF the ma
4 tional Democratic party there is no indica-
ton that harmony will be reached at the Denver
convention. Although the so-called conserva-
tves have a good chance to secure one-third
OF the delegates to the convention, by which dele
gates they could prevent the nomination Of
Bryan, the opinion seems to be general that
Bryan will be nominated Should Bryan be
named the breach in the party would be as wide
as ever. lie would not gather the support OF
those who have SO bitterly opposed him all
along On the other hand, should a so-called con-
servative be selected, he would probably meet
the fate of Judge Parker, if not worse defeat.
This condition of the party which started dur
ing the Cleveland regime, has led to the sugges-
at the conservatives" should get together
and nominate a candidate of their own, as they
did in 1896. And as a fact, there is little SINH
larity between the views Of the Bryan wing Of
the party and the old gold Democratic element
They are as different two parties we'll can be,
and it is improbable that the factions will be
united on a really sound or lasting basis.

FAVORS DANCING
IN The SCHOOLS
Professor ZuebIin Thinks
Other PaStimeS Should
be Condemned

Charles Zueblin, professor Of sociology
in the University of Chicago. spoke on
THE Common Life in the High School
yesterday afternoon TO a large audience.
The address was the annual compliment
tary lecture of the Primary Teachers
Association.
The simple life was presented by DR..
zueblin as an 'antidote for the hypocrisy
OF the day" and the solution of all race
problems. "The common life is the only
avenue OF approach to the ultimate and
universal in human relationship" he
said.
Some Of DR.. zueblin's more pungent OBJ.
servations We're:
'In the great conglomerate modern
community lies the realization Of the ful-
ness Of life. We don't have to wait 10
get to heaven TO get the fulness OF every
thing, the fulness OF life is here and
now. There is satisfaction for every HUI
man being for all kinds Of human wants.
Dancing is condemned by certain OF
our churches. To me It seems unfortunate
that this opportunity to bring the young
together should be singled out when
there is so much else deserving unquali-
fed moral condemnation. Personally,
wish dancing were taught in the schools.
If there were proper dancing there would
not exist improper dancing.
Most Of us are trying in the social
ladder to reach the next high round and
in so doing the majority endanger the
very precarious hold they have on the
round on which they stand.
taste is not intellect: it is sensuous
Ycu must feel taste. The savage that
made the beautiful basket is more esthe-
tic than the man who buys library from
a catalogue.
Most Of US acquire our knowledge as
a miser. We specialize and then air our
knowledge for the benefit Of our neigh
bors"
Professor Zuebnn declared that race
prejudice is to-day the most serious men,
ace to our country. The Jew is not ad.
mitted TO our college fraterniues and in
many instances is Disseminated against
as a person less worthy than others. The
Japs despite their phenomenal progress
and performances against Russia are
classed with the Koreans and Chinese in
those nations whom we would exclude
from our shores.

Members Of the Board Of Park Commits

in the Council chamber yesterday after-

EXAMPLES OF BAD BANKING.

RT OF currency troubles, but violation OF the
law is assigned as the reason Tor the re-
cent failure of several banks in Indiana. The
examiner found that among the assets OF these
banks was deed for $500 acres Of Arkansas
land This land was bought by two bankers
who had borrowed the purchase money from the
banks with the land as security. The value OF
real estate is said to be $I5o,ooo. Private banks
under the Indiana law arc permitted to invest
not more than one-third OF their capital in real
estate The total capital of all three banks con-
cerned in the transaction was 100000, and they
had no right to hold more than $4,000 in real
estate II was the duty of some one of the State
officials to have Investigated those banks to find
out whether they were obeyng the law. Many
troubles Of banks that act under State laws are
due to carelessness in probing their condition.
Financial difficulties of concerns similar to
these Indiana banks are often due to the causes
that led to the distress Of the Indiana banks Yet
some opponents of the administration at WASH
ngton attribute the collapse of the Indiana banks
to the crusade that President Roosevelt has
made upon the corporations"

Men fight and strive In the marts Of

They plan and scheme in the fevered
town,
Until fortune they have made,
Or to their name has come renOwn.
But the singer sits in his garret bare;
'ris high above the fevered town.
For gold or silver he does not care;
He wov@.es not for mems renown.
He dreams and sings the night hours
long;
He has no hope Of fame or pay;
He weaves his thought in words of
song;
He little cares what men may say.
To him comes view of the Borderland,
And so he sings in JOY or woe.

And when men say YOU waste your
time,
For your returns are poor and low;
Why waste your force on senseless
rhyme?
I simply answer. Il do not know"
But there's compensation comes TO
him,
Perhaps tbs not until he's old:
'Tis soothing in life's battle grim;
'Tis valued more than worldly gold.
'Tis when his song has played its part.
In some other land far. far away,
Has found its place in some other
heart
'Tis then the singer receives his pay.
I pity men pursuing gain;
Seeking fame where 'er they go,
For they at length must gather pain;
There's joy, Of which they never know.
The singer sings because he must;
He sings in joy, he sings in woe;
He'll ne'er be still till in the dust;
You ask the reason? Il do not know" :"
