NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE re-
ported illness Of J. p. Morgan was
reflected on the stock exchange
today, chiefly through United
States Steel, and was not regard
ed as affecting that stock TO any
great extent.
The market opened dull, bat
weak. Steel opened with 100
shares at O.; 100 at 81 SO and s.
900 at 81 "a. The market was in
clined to wait for more definite re-
ports as to Morgan before regard
ing his illness as serious. in view
Of the fact that on several other
occasions reports Of an unfaxor.
able nature regarding Morgan
have come from Egypt Of Italy.
United States Steel sold down to
90 70 before the end Of the first
hour new low for the year, but
trading was dull and featureIess.

THE SPORTING INSTINCT.

Today, apparently, the one instinct common to all
nations is the sporting instinct and it is not unlikely
that this fact may have important consequences not
dreamed of in our present philosophy. The late
Prof James, in antagonizing the war spirit and the
war expenditures, nevertheless contended that some
other outlet would have be found for the immense
physical energy which now went into prepara-
ton for war. II was sound contention, and perhaps
the world organization of sport already on a secure
foundation in the Olympic games may be :nat outlet.
Of course this take in but small fraction of the
people. The playground movement, properly organ
lied, has great possibilities in this direction also.
The sporting instinct is apparently the only which
is universally spontaneous enough to admit Of world
wide organization and interest, if only common
standard can be found.
The military disposition common to all energetic
natures is not of itself bad thing If we can get
military organization and discipline, without the
and slaughter attached TO it, it will be great thing
for everybody. the highly organized ndustrialism
of the world must be matched in some way by an
equally intensive physical relief and it is accident
that with decreasing possibilities in the professional
fighting line, the sporting interest and organization
should increase.

THE SPLIT INFINITIvE.

Can the sovereign people of the United States
by, means of constitutional amendment, enact the
split innitiye? This point is suggested by the form
OF the amendment limiting Presidents to one six
year term which, as passed by the Senate, is As
follows:
The executive power shall be vested in a President
81 the United States of America The term of ONCE of
President shall be six years, and person who has
held the Office by election, discharged its powers
duties, acted President under the Constitution and
laws in pursuance thereof shall be eligible TO AGAIN
HoLDthe Office by election. .-.........
The offense is deliberate Senator Roots cul-
tured spirit in rebellion and ne plainly told his
colleagues what they were doing which good many
OF them didn't seem to know, or care about He is
thus reported in the Congressional Record:

OIL IN TWo POINTS OF VIEW.

The relative interests of the stockholder and the
consumer in great monopoly like the Standard Oil
have been defined with extraordinary dstinctness sin
the past thirty days. The stockholder will not CON-
plain of the contrast.
On his side of il he has received distribution
Of 40 per cent of profits by the parent company that
could no longer be concealed. This is not an or
dinary dividend, but comes from fund of returned
loans which had been made to subsidiary companies
which has been accuniulating very rapidly since the
Standard OIL dissolution was forced by the United
States Government The shares the stockholders still
possess are rated at market value of S44S 900 0OO
The consumer of oil on his side, as he witnesses
the distribution of this enormous fortune by the trust
cannot help considering the plum" he mas received
from the oil company It is represented in the sharp
advances in the price OF OIL which have raised it

IT'S NOT SAN FRANcIscos FAULT.

The bill to appropriate 100000 for representa-.
ton Of the Government at the Panama Exposition in
San Francisco, is entitled to have the graft pruned
its merits.
Small wonder that group of self-respecting
Legislators are fbustering against the measure. II
provides for seven Government commissioners who
shall draw ST 500 each annually; total S52 500 year
These commissioners would be appointed forth.
with, and would continue TO draw their 81 500 per
until the exposition mad ended and the last Of its
accounts been closed up; that is, about four years;
total for the commissioner graft, about 100000.
But that is not all. These exposition commissions
have in the past been pleasant nests Of good easy,
well-paid jobs, with disbursing agent auditors,
clerks, etc., all getting their jobs through pull
The administration Of any one Of these exposi-
ton funds, if investigated in detail, would prove to
nave been outrageously extravagant.
True enough, it is an easy way to provide for a
group of lame duck statesmen. That is what it has
been used for; presumably it is what would be done
again.
Soft snaps for the lame ducks constituted an
ample excuse, once upon a time, for wasting the pub
lie money. Let it be whispered right now, before
this San Francisco bill is passed, that better excuse
must be found nowadays. Things nave changed. The
graft isn't so good, the people aren't so easy.
San Francisco ought not to be beaten out of an
appropriation, if it deserves one on general prin-
cples by reason Of the graft features. The graft
should be eliminated and then the measure decided
upon.

PROTECTING THE MOVIE" AUDIENCES

The mushroom development of the moving pic
ture shows popularity resulted, in Washington as in
every other city, in pressing into service for exhbi-
ton purposes many buildings not fitted for that use.
There have been altogether too many panics and
disasters in connection with establishments OF this
sort, throughout the country. New York experienced
one the other night, in which two lives we're lost
Investigation among these little show houses of
the children and the masses of people, here in Wash
ington, has brought forth the report that many OF
them are in dangerous condition The fact that most
Of the structures were not built for the accommoda-
ton of large numbers Of people, and that they are
generally merchandising rooms fitted for exhibition
purposes makes it quite apparent that there is ground
for fear The element of safety needs to be pro-
rded for in the most liberal way, in construction OF
places for public assemblies. The arrangement Of
exits the assurance that they shall be easily acces
sible and plainly marked so that there will be no
overlooking them in time of panic, are fundamentally
important.
1t is alleged that in the cases of a number Of
these establishments, the exit doors were locked and
the keys couldn't be found; in others, windows we're
the only emergency exits provided, and these too
inaccessible to be useful in q panic.
The Commissioners of the District have promised
rigorous investigation, and regulations that will pro-
tect the people. The problem is one that has de-
veloped suddenly, and vii! not be easy Of solution,
because it is not going to be possible TO provide COM
pIete SHOW houses for the movies" 1t is case in
which the very best possible must be done and doubts
must be resolved in favor of safety.

APPROPRIATE UTAH ACTION.

- - ..
Utah has now two distinctions that seem peculiarly
fitting to the State that is dominated by the Mormon
church.
II was one of the two States which gave their
electoral votes to William Howard Taft.
To this it now adds the eminence of being the
FIRST to reject the constitutional amendment providing
For direct election of Senators. The measure was
killed in the State senate by the votes Of nine Re-
publicans. All seven Democratic senators sup
ported it,
The measure had been indorsed by the platforms
of both political parties in the last campaign.
Fortunately, there are not many States left, like
Utah, in which platforms are ignored as easily and
recklessly as they used to be. The popular election
of Senators will be ratified with such near approach
to unanimy that Utah will merely look little more
