Unwholesome Posters Banned.

The official order forbidding the display
of posters on local bill boards Of an in
decent or vulgar character or in por-
trayal of the commission of or attempt to
commit crime is in the interest of public
morality and safety. Much Of the the
atrical paper" displayed on the public
boards is of decidedly suggestive and
objectionable character. The scenes pic
tured are often of the kind to appeal un-
wholesomely to the imagination Of the
young and to glorify or heroize the crimi-
nal. A scene of violence placarded on a
large scale in colors on the streets is
seen by many thousands in the course OF
the theatrical week. and among the be-
holders are certain to be some whose
minds are in the precise condition to re-
ceive the improper suggestion which such
a presentation makes. 1t is, of course.
impossible to trace specific crimes from
such influences and causes. but it is,
nevertheless, believed to be true that the
effect of the unrestrained placarding of
melodramatic situations eventually ap-
pears in the court records Under the
new rule it will be unlawful to present
such pictures, and it is to be hoped that
the courts will sustain the regulation and
apply the penalties which it provides

Sugar and Protection.

In concluding his speech in the Senate
yesterday, Mr.. McEnery of Louisiana
said:
THAT there is change of sentiment
going on in the south in relation to pro-
lection was shown recently. and l hope
senators from the south. who have sup
ported protection on every industry in
the state, may extend the vision of their
horizon and accord protection to great
national interests.
IT want to appeal to southern senators
to abandon their absurd ideas or theories
of a tariff for revenue only and vote to
support the industries or the Uniteo
States.
..Thomas Jefferson said there should be
a duty on the necessities of life. because
this government should not be forced to
depend on any foreign country for It's
necessarfes.
L do not base my plea for duty on
sugar. for the great revenue 1t brings. l
put il on a higher plane. which is the
necessity for the country TO become tnde-
pendent of any foreign government for
things IL requires.
This is far and away the frankest state
ment yet made by southern democrat on
the tariff question at this session of Con-
gress. Southern democrats have voted
for a duty on lumber and on iron ore.
and proposed duties on other things but
have qualified their attitude by explain
ing that the object was revenue. The
government must be supported, and taxes
must be laid SO as to raise the money.
Therefore. and so forth.
II should not have come" explained the
sheepish-looking gentleman under the cir

The City Beautiful.
From the Memphis News-scimitar.


The spring has been late and winter
fingered In its lap beyond all precedent.
and there was little encouragement held
out by the weather man to those who were
desirous of doing something toward beau
tifying the city. Not until now could
we feel assured that we were safe and
away from a visit from Jack Frost. with
his geld shears to nip of bud or blossom
that dared put forth. The delayed sea-
son is here and it should be taken pos
session of at once, and with alacrity and
energy everything should be done to make
Of Memphis a city beautiful.
Much can be done by those who can
afford it. and something can be done by
every one, and these small something's,
when added together. will aggregate a
great deal. also. Well dressed lawns.
with flowers scattered about. give an air
of elegance to a street, while vines and
creepers possess a softening and elevating
influence. No lawn should be permitted
to look touseled and unkempt, or to re-
main unshorn. Such negligence gives an
air of decay and abandonment, as may
be seen in the case of any deserted or
unoccupied place. Primness and tidiness
mean life, and life Is the why we are
here. and we should endeavor to make 1t
as beautiful as possible, because beauty
is truth. and truth Is our ultimate and
noblest quest.

Mr.. Cannon and His Critics.

Over his signature and through the
medium of interviews, Mr.. Cannon has
recently been replying to those who nave
assailed his course as Speaker or the
House and misrepresented the proceed
inss of that body. He has explained mat
ters in a very clear way, and, we may
all be sure, set many fair and intelligent
men right on a subject of general interest
and Importance.
1t might have been well, both for his
own and the pubic's welfare, II Mr.. Can
non had performed this service at an
earlier day. Much unwarranted criticism
had long-too long-had clear field. All
sorts of nonsense went for years unchal-
lenged by him in any formal manner.
That he was a czar was the burden or
ten thousand taunts. That under him
the House was not deliberative body
was as often repeated.
lie, undenounced. elaborated and
often printed, is bound to make an i'm
preston in a country where publicity
cuts so great a figure as in this The
best policy is to send a chaser promptly
after every malicious or foolish invention.
Otherwise any good man or good cause
is liable to injury.
There is eminent authority for the
statement that no good man was ever
written down but by himself Public men
have said. "Oh. that is only newspaper
TALK Others have stood upon a sort
of dignity and refused to notice public
statement because they knew it to be
a calumny outright. or else an exag-
gerated account of matter resting on
fact
Mr. Conkling was a public man who
suffered in his personal fortunes because
of his scorn of Misrepresentation. He
could not be brought to believe until 1t
was too late that any impression on the
country could be made by the yarns
which described him as one-half sneer
and the other half ice. 1t was not un-
til he had been overthrown by ingrates,
and later was dead, that the general
public knew OF the strong and warm
nature of the man toward his friends and
those he served.
Mr.. Roosevelt, rated by both sides as
great politician. and certainly one
with a record of extraordinary success.
has pursued the opposite policy. He has
used the types as freely and as promptly
as his opponents. No serious criticism
has ever got more than twenty-four
hours the start of him, and often half
that time has been the limit. Attacked
in the morning dispatches, he has fired
off his reply in the afternoon. He is
watchful even in Africa. The public had
notice from him yesterday against ac-
cepting stories about his experiences on
his hunting trip. Little as well as big
things get rise" out of him.
Upon the whole, the reply Is the best
policy. In a nation of readers. and
where the demand for interesting mat
ter haunts. and sometimes unworthily
influences. editorial control of some pop
uar publications, it is never advisable
for a public man to let his enemies for
long have the discussion either of him
or his policies, all to themselves.

Gus tent to a friend who had raised his
eyebrows quizzically at meeting him. but
for the children. They would not be de-
MED. and I brought them, principally to
see the animals.
Mr. McEnery feels no embarrassment
at the circus. He is glad to be there.
Ha regards the entertainment as whole
some. and. while he is ministering to the
comfort of his own little brood. has re-
gard by his patronage for the general
comfort.
Sugar has always enjoyed protection
in one form or another under our tariffs.
and for many more years is certain to
do so. The republicans when In power
levy a duty jointly for revenue and for
protection. The article yields large
revenue. and 1t needs protection. But
for protection the cane industry In LOU
isiana would long ago have perished and
the beet industry never have had start.
The democrats when in power levy q
duty for revenue. and throw In protection
as an incident In either case sugar is
protected.
Mr.. McEnery, whose constituents have
benefited so greatly by protection for their
principal industry. makes his acknoWl-
edgments in the sentiments quoted. He
is ready to return the compliment for
what is done for sugar. He is willing
to vote protection for every worthy
American industry that needs 1t. He
asks it for sugar. and comedies 1t to
other things. He wants the necessity
of protection for sugar confessed by the
south. and then a suitable attitude taken
by southern men with respect to the in
dustries Of other sections.
There is something persuasive as we'll
as frank In this, and while it runs counter
to democratic platforms Of recent years.
democrats like Mr.. Bacon OF Georgia
laugh at platforms. How many demo-
cratic senator's will follow Mr. McEnery?
