No British Exhibit at San Francisco.

Disappointment will be felt in this country over
the final decision of the British government not to
participate in the Panama-Pacfc Exposition. Very
recently deputatiOn from the House of Commons,
representing more than half its members, appealed
to the Prime Minister TO reverse his policy of alb
stention. He seemed to be impressed and promised
further consideration. But yesterday the Cabinet
voted to adhere to its programme Of standing aloof.
1t is pretty generally believed that Great Britain
has had an understanding with Germany that
neither nation shall make an exhibit at San Fran
cisco. Neither party TO the compact can break it
now without embarrassment, and Mr.. Asquiths re-
fusal to heed the wishes Of majority of the House
Of Commons must be based on some such outstand-
ing international obligation. 1t is hard to accept
at face value either the British or the German e1-
PLANTATION that the cost of governmental representa-
ton at San Francisco would be too great.
However, each government must be the Judge of
its own duty in such matters Many British and
German concerns are taking friendly interest In
the exposition and many British and German visit
ors may turn up at San Francisco. They will be
welcome in spite of the determination Of their gov
ernments to economic at the expositions expense.

All such items have their charm. But 1t Is some

mean. Wehave seen a freckle faced caddie without

Mr.. Wilson continues 10 be troubled by
the questions of his irreligious friends he
might refer them to the life OF Christ. As
to what any Christian church would do IN
the event of the Saviours reincarnation,
we cannot but believe that every Chris
tan sect would welcome Him as He
should be welcomed. There are good
Christians and bad Christians. as there
are good men and bad men; but it seems
strange that so often men who have
never allied themselves with any church
apparently are convinced that all church
members must be hypocrites, and are
pi obaby thieves also. Human nature is a
good deal the same wherever you find IL,
but few intelligent people deny the en-

crowned with perfect success.

A Childish Gallery Play.

The United States Senate played peanut politics
when it inserted In the agricultural appropriation
act paragraph forbidding the Agricultural Depart
ment to accept aid in farm demonstration work
from the General Education Board. That board has
been trying in a very practical way to increase the
productivity Of farms, especially of farms in the
Southern States 1t was impressed by the methods
of the late DR.. Seaman A. Knapp who successfully
combated the cotton boil weevil in Louisiana and
Texas and enlisted the services of Dr. Knapp and
OF his successor Mr. Bradford Knapp, in its general
educational campaign in the South.
In conjunction with the Department Of Agriculture
the General Education Board spent about 100000
between 1906 and 1913 For the fiscal year 1914
It appropriated $255,OO0 Last year the board had
400 demonstrators in the field and 22,235 farmers,
OF 900 boys and $4,000 girls studying improved
farming methods.
To put the stamp of the governments dsapprova
on this audabe enterprise simply because the money
TO support it comes from Mr. John d. Rockefeller Is
the extreme Of petty demagogy The Senate ought to
be ashamed Of itself. The patron of the General
Education Board deserves a medal for well directed
philanthropy, not censure for Quitting in" the
work of the Agricultural Department.

The West Side Gang Fights.

The Irish gangs Of the lower West Side-the Hud-
son Busters the Gophers, the Tanner Smiths
the Helrs Kitcheners, good fist fighters and gun
fghters-have not received as much notoriety as
their Yiddish and Italian contemporaries OF the
lower East Side. But the series Of fights which
already has cost two lives and eliminated SUNDAY
night in two big battles seems likely to present them
for complete recognition by public and police Ana
recognition should mean extirpation.
Following Mayor Mitchel's order to the police 10

protection, but to break up the East Side gangs
those worthless have been toerably quiet IL Is
probable this is merely the lul in their business
which undue police activity produces from time to
time Even so, there is no reason why similar
course of police treatment should not be given 10

spot Greenwich Village. If it can be emphasized
by catching and convicting some Of the marksmen
and sending them TO prison for long terms the gang
business may not be so attractive

A New Street Cleaning Scheme.

Replying to the charges recently made by COM
mjttee of the Academy of Medicine, Street Cleaning
Commissioner Fetherston admits that the open gar
bage cans and carts unsightly and unsanitary.
He declares that he has ready for submission to the
Board Of Estimate plan for modern, sanitary gar
bage collection, street cleaning and disposal Of
refuse equal to any in In Europe This will
cost. for equipment about $13,OO0OOO, he says but
it will save at least 50 annually the budget
OF the department
This is the most hopeful word which has come
from the Street Cleaning Department in many a
year Heretofore when adoption OF modern,
efficient plan of garbage collection and disposal was
urged, whether by an official commission,
the case in Mayor McClelan's time, by civic
organizations and citizens sick to death of the
existing disgraceful methods. nothing has happened
The department has investigated" and the results
of the investigation have been pgeonholed. Mr.
Fetherston should present his plan to the Board Of
Estimate promptly and should urge 1t vigorously
If he can demonstrate, as he says, that there will
be an annual saving which would pay for the initial
cost Of equipment In five six years there is mani
fest economy in the scheme. And even II the annual
budget for the department could not be lowered

The Home Rule Act Passes.

Tho massage yesterday by the House of Commons
n, tho Home Rule bill has practically ended the

wears the Home Rule issue has overshaoo"eu al
other issues in British politics. The giarlns over
representation Of Ireland in the House OF Coh'hon'
and the obstructive tactics Of the Irish Nauonai'''
made It impossible to dodge the Irish question AFTER
the Liberal La Dor Nationalist alliance was estap-
lisbed It became only a matter OF time when ral-
