A National Object Lesson.
Tlliu:i3 YKAltS licnco. sis our
readers may know, thoto
will bo held in St. Louis a
world's fair to commemor
ate tho centennial of tho Louislunn
purchsibc and Incidentally to Kloilfy
onp of the large chuptprs in the his
tory of American expansion. The
citizens of St. Louis agree to raise $10,
000,000 toward defraying tho cost of
this exposition, and they ask that the
government of the United States con
tribute J.-.,OUO,000 additional. A bill to
this effect is now pending in congress.
Some remarks were recently made
by Secretary "Wilson upon the subject
of the fertility and value of the tertl
tory comprised within the Louisiana
putchaso which merit reproduction In
this connection. He pointed out that
during the war with Spain all the
horses und mules and all the beef used
by tho army of the United States came
from tho Louisiana purchase, and this
section Is now furnishing Great llrit
aln with most of tho borses and mules
which she is using in her South Afri
can campaign, in addition te supply
ing her people at home with their food
supplies.
As demonstrating the wonderful pro
ductive capacity oi tho Louisiana ter
ritory, Secretary Wilson furnished llg
ures on the wheat output for 1S99. The
total production of wheat in the Uni
ted States in 1S99 was C47,30J,81G bush
els, and the faun value of tho pro
duct, on Dee. 1, 1S99, was $319,543,259.
The states which may bo properly in
cluded In the Louisiana purehas-e arc: "I
Texas. Arkansas. Minnesota. Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota,
North Dakota, Montana, Colorado,
Wyoming, Idaho and tho Tpiritory of
Oklahoma. The wheat ptoduction of
these states was as follows:

it will bo'seen from tliese llgutes
that the Louisiana purchase states fui
nlsh more than one-half of tho entire
wheat production of the United States,
and tho states of Oregon and Wash
ington, which msiny authoiltles claim
wete really a past of the Louisiana
territory, and which produced nearly
44,000,000 of wheat in 1SS9 urn not In
cluded In this tabulation. The amount
which Thomas Jefferson paid Napoleon
for the Louisiana territory was $l.r,,
OOO.Ow. l,em than 100 years from tho
date of this real pstatp transaction the
Louisiana territory Is now producing
an annual wheat crop the market
value of which' is over ten times the
purchase price paid for the teirltory
by Jefferson to the Kronen emperor.
Kvcry argument now used to dis
credit Ames lean retention of the Phil.
Ipplncswas hurled ngulnat Jeffetsonfor
making his so-called ildlculous dicker
with France. Jefferson's vindication
has long since been acknowledged by
all. The vindication of William Mc
Klnley is none the less certain.
Fact Is safer than fiction. In another
column will be found a statement in
detail of what the Porto Itlcan tat iff
on Amciican Imports amounts to. U

Old Age Pensions.
WIIBN THIS Pennsylvania
Railroad company re
cently Introduced a sys
tem of old-ago pensions
the belief was generally expressed that
its action would marl; tho beginning
of a wldesptead industrial movement
towaid this end, tho ultimate effect of
which will be to remove a great deal
of friction from the labor market and
to establish a better social order. In
dications point to the fulfilment of
this prophecy.
The Haltlmcre and Ohio Itullroad
compuny was the flist imitator of tho
Pennsylvania corporation: and now
compts tho announcement that tho Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road
Ib maturing a plan to put Its 24,000
employes on a Blmllar basis. It pro
pones to combine with tho retirement
pension featuro a system of sickness,
accident and disability Insurance. This
Insurance Is to bo provided for by
monthly contributions from employes,
vlu firsto supervise. Its administra
tion through a committee of their own
selection: but the pension fund Is to
be eonti United by the railroad In an
nual Instalments, the money thus con
tributed to bo disbursed on the basis
of tho salaries received at time of ro
tliement, which Is optional with thu
employe after .".o years of service and
CO years of oge. but compulsory ut tho
ago of 70 years.
It may be argued that It Is the duty
of every wage-earner to protect him
self against non-produellve old ago by
laying nslde from current earnings
enough to insuic a comfortable period
of retirement. The argument Is sound,
but tile fact Is that si huge proportion
of wage-earners neglect it nnd, In old
ago, have to depend for support upon
either relatives or charity. In a well
ordered social state this should not be.
Knch industry should bear the cost of
the Inc.ipablps created in Its service,
charging tho same In the expenses of
production. In this wny an Incentive
to faithful service is supplied which
should tnnko tho pension system nn
economic success assd at the same times
an element of equity is Introduced Into
the lelatlons between employer and
employed which today Is too often ab
sent. Among the las-gp ptohtcms which tho
Twentieth century will offer for solu
tion In the United States none will
have n broader slgnlllcanoe than this
problem of humanizing the attitude of
those who hire toward those who
sei ve.
Kcgarillng cases like that of Mrs.
Newell, or Throop, who died after
ehild-blith because she would not per
mit ii physician to be summoned, pre
ferring a fanatical form of faith to
modern science, the law Is evidently
powerless. Common sense nlonc Is ade
quate to dispel such manias.
Not Sectional But National.
NOT A WOltD has been spoken
ndvesse to Chiules Kmoty
Smith for the vice presi
dency except the unimport
ant and Inaccurate reinaik that ho !s
geographically at n disadvantage. Ilia
exceptional lltness is recognized and
attested everywhere. I'lomlnent Re
publicans lepresentlng all parts of tha
United Stales admit that his presence
on tho ticket with McKlniey and his
active participation in the public dis
cussion of the great Issues of the cam
paign would in every way bo helpful
and advantageous; tho single point at
which there Is apparent hesitancy con
cerns the fact that Mr. Smith Is a resi
dent of Philadelphia instead of some
western city; that the state from which
ho conies is next door to Ohio, the homo
of the presidential nominee.
It seems absurd to bo compelled to
consider this alleged objection serious
ly, yet as there are those who appear
to be affected by it perhaps u woul
on the subject may not come amiss.
It must be borne In mind that the
great issue of the campaign; tho great
issue, in fact, of the next generation,
is to be the Issue of expansion in Its
various phases; commercial, political,
maritime and stsategic. Not simply Is
it a question of keeping the tlag lly'ng
where It has been lifted in triumph,
but In a thousand details it Is to bo
the problem of establishing American
Ideas, Ametlcan ttade, American su
premacy. Do the Ieadess of the Re
publican party appreciate the magni
tude of the country's indebtedness to
the business inteiests In and about
Philadelphia for the educational work,
the organized effort, the peislstent
keeping of export problems to the fore
which has made possible the vast ex
pansion now .visualized by the (lying
llag in our eastern and western pos
sessions? Ate they awaie of. the fact
that Inn for the well directed energy
of suph institutions as the National
A.s.soclsitiou of Manufacturers, the
Philadelphia Commercial Museums, tho
Philadelphia Trades League and score i
of similar associations oilginatlng or
largely sustained in Philadelphia and
the teirltory Immediately adjacent ex
pansion would today be a high sound
ing wosd only, without practical Im
mediate or prospective meaning?
With this splendid preparatory work
covering ye.us of quiet study nnd In
telligent mastering of export problems
and rellected In n continual increase In
the sales of Ameilean made goods
abroad, no man is moie creditably
Identified or concerning It and Its fu
tute no man Is better qualified to '-.
the national spokesman and expusltor
than Chiules Kmoty Smith. If we go
below the sill face uf the suero political
custom that In tho past has made i
sectional geographical question of tho
vice piesldeney and look upon the pre
cut situation w'ith an eye to tH vast
national and International aspects,
susely of sill tho men who have been
named not one Is nunc- happily located
to be the chief Instsuetor of the public
us to what this great new Issue of
expansion really poi tends.
The Minnesota federal Judge who ha-j
decided that the tonstltutlois of the
United States applies automatically In
all Us parts to new territory the mo
ment new -territory Is acquired Is, It Is
needless to say, a Democrat and a
mental descendant of John C. Calhoun,
the founder of this dogma of constitu
tional Interpretation. Judge Locliicn's
ruling ropiesents only one man's opln
Ion. Tho Supremo court of tho United
States Is tho tribunal which must de
fine the binding law on this subject.
Tho discussion In puillatneut of the
British war olllce's couise In publish
ing Lord Roberts' censure of General
Huller five weeks after the fact evolved
no rational season. It did, however,
elicit one clever bit of rhetoric. "Mr.
Gladstone," said Loul Rosobery, "once
said to mo of a statesman who Is now
dead, that ho was of a composition to
which water would add strength, I
nrn afruld history will write that epi
taph on her maJesty'B government."
The next leglslatuio must elect a
United States senator. To this end no
man should be sent to It who will not
agree In advance to enter the caucui
of his party nnd abide Its choice.
Under the provisions of the nrmy re
organization bill as It passed the sen
ate, tho commanding general Is here
after to have tho rank, pay and allow
ances of a lieutenant general, obvi
ously a proper Idea. Hut mote Import
ant than rank or pay Is the question
of duty. Is the commanding general
to remain a mere figurehead?
By extending for seven months the
period of time allowed for the ex
change of ratifications, tho negotiators
of tho Hay-Pauncefote canal treaty
evidently Intend to let presidential
year politics effervesce and subside be
fore pressing for a final vote. Next
winter the senate will be In a mood to
listen to reason.
The work to be done on the county
roads by tho prisoners In the count
jail will be good for the prisoners and
good for tho roads. It will not, more
over, compete with the work of freo
labor. In every respect, therefore, tho
experiment promises to be salutary.
Kcujamln K. Shlvely, of Indiana,
would be an appropriate running-mate
for William J. Bryan. He lias an un
broken iccord of having been on the
wrong side of every public issue which
has arisen since he entered politics.
The more the Charles Kmory Smith
vlce-piesidentlal boom Is examined tho
larger it grows. It is a proposition
that bears analysis.
It seems pretty evident that tho
South African war has been resumed
with si vengeance, on the telegraph
wires at least.

THE OCCASION AND THE MAN.
Roosevelt Out; Smith Remains.
l'rom the Washington 5tar.
The Itepubllcan leaders no longer hive any
idea of being able lo make a vice presidential
candidate of Hovrrnor Itnosevelt. Within a few
dats he has been sounded as to his eourxc if he
were nominated by acclamation, notwithstand
ing bis repeated refusals to be a cuididite, and
he has succeeded in having it very detliiitely
understood inat he would eleeline the notnini
tlon even alter action by the convention. In
view of this it is not believed iu.it theie will
be any effort In the convention to noiiilnil
him. Secietarv bong and Postmaster tJcneral
Smith are lotli bdng more i.erioiisly considered
than they have been heretofore. Mr. Smith is
very klndlv ppokeii of. It has been argued in
some quiitcss that Mr. Smith is not avaPable
becnise of his geographical location, IVnnsvl
vanla being such a strong Itepubllcan state.

"The geography of the situation should not be
coiisideied, coot that the nominitlon shouiel
come east. What we want is a man thoroiighlv
In touch wish the party; a iccord clean and
honest, without family skeletons, anil one who
commands the lospect of the people. Charles
Kmory Smith fills this bill bettrr than any one
I have heaid mentioned, lie would make an
ideal presiding olHcer and would bring aildeel
dignit to the ticket. And what a camsialgn
be would make. To my mind he is the best
speaker in politics, and bis arguments are force
ful and clear. I elo not think, we should nee-es-sarily
nominite a man from a doubtful state
this jrar. We aie strong enough. Whit we
w int is the best available man, and Charlev
Kinoiv Smith is tho one. It is well known i'o

president than .Mr. smith and 1 happen lo know
the piesidcnt has no personal objection to Mr.
smith as a running mate; in fact, would bo

are simple lhtle things, but they possess the peculiar qualities that will
serve to re!fp.,e every unlortunate from any thrall of knots and threads
of disease I hat was ever created by a disordered aomacli, a disarranged
digestive apparatus or a sluggish liver. Ripans Tabules
ARE AN INSURANCE POLICY AGAINST SICKNESS,
and ecu be carried in the pocket or portemonnaie. One Ripans Tabule
taken after each meal will set a dyspeptic free from the esUangling meshes
of diseiue ; because nearly every ailment is a direct result of a disordered
digestion, and Ripans Tabules overcome th: cause and cure the disorder.
