THE LUNGS OF A CITY.
St. Louis Is In the thick of a con-
troversy over the location of small
parks in various sections of that city.
That Immense sums are to be spent'
on locations in the congested districts
In order that the residents may haw
breathing places in the thick of the
polluted atmosphere of these districts
la accepted but the locations arc not
decided upon and there will no doubt
be the usual contentions of ths par-
ties at interest. What is of importance
in connection with this subject is that
these parks are considered In ’he
wiser thought of the present and in
the more complete provision for the
help of the people a necessity of the
case. It is one more proof of that
larger care for the health pleasure
comfort and recreation of the poor of
our cities that is now being taken by
the municipal authorities of this coun-
try. Water and lights and sewers and
traction lines have engaged thought
for a quarter of a century very thor-
oughly. and now the question of
breathing places small parks central-
ly located for the down town poor
fresh air funds for the children bet-
ter hospital provision and all that
concerns better and purer living for
the masses is coming under Intelli-
gent consideration. That this is a
work most necessary to be done an I
done well and conscientiously is ap
parent if our cities are not to become
slaughter pens for the poorer 1 classes.
As the cities fill and room is circum-
scribed. the park and the open air
salvation are made more and more
necessary. They are Indispensable if
the death rate is not to be increased
enormously. That the efforts along
this line are successful is seen in the
fact that five children reach the years
of five where a few years ago only
three reached that age. San Anton o
provided for these breathing places
early In her existence and the wis-
dom of that provision Is made more
and more apparent from year to yea.'
as the city grows.
A BRUTAL RUSSIA.
The "central council of the Russian
people” Is the heal center of a bar-
barism that has no parallel In this cen-
tury That central council claiming to
represent the 30.000 000 of true Rus-
sians has sent In Its remonstrances
against any mercy being shown to the
ews. From 200 local organisations
scattered all over the empire protests
reach the government against any rec-
ognition of Jewish rights. These pro-
tests are In reality threats that if the
attempted justice is done as Premier
Stolvpin has promised and approved
there will be a general massadre of
the Jews all over Russia. The pro-
tests are not all similar in language
but they are one In the cnie’ty and re-
vengefulness of their spirit and may
be epitomized as follows:
■•ft Is dangerous to further test
the gentleness and patience of the
peaceful Russian population which
may be forced to resort to vio-
lence.”
"The publication of the reforms
is certain to overstep the limits
of law and order and resort to
violence."
“The publication of the reforms
Is certain to result In a final break
between reactionary and monarch-
ial parties and Premier Stolypin s
administration."
This coldblooded announcement beg-
gars language. That the millions ot
Russians who belong to the League
of the Ruslan People should deliber-
ately inform the government and this
In the face of the horrible massacres
that have disgraced Russia during the
present year that they would be
forced to violence if greater liber-
ties were allowed the Jews is too hor-
rible to contemplate. Right to de-
fend themselves to have arms to en
joy their religion to be exempt from
extortion to possess their own prop-
erty are all practically denied the
Jews now. The new premier devised
some belter thing for these outraged
and proscribed Jews and he is met
with a howl from 30.000000 of Rus-
sians that if these liberties are per-
mitted the Jews there will be such
provocation of the "peaceful Russian
population" that it will be forced to
resort to violence. If this Is the con
elusion of the peaceful Russian people
what is the conclusion of the restless
spirits among them. Russia is a dis-
grace to the civilization of the cen-
tury this has long been known but
this late protest demonstrates her a
disgrace to her own disgraceful self.
No wonder that fire and blood and
sword are her portion.
BUDDHA AND CHRIST.
Buddhism has come into active con-
I tact with Christianity In Japan and
there is a real war for the supremacy
between them. The advent of the
Young Men s Christian Association
into the army circles of Japan was
what led to the movement of the Budd-
' hists to maintain their ancient faith
and dispute the supremacy of the
western religion over their older cult.
With the wisdom that always charac-
i terizes this sect in theoretical mat-
Iters they adopted the methods ot tbs
later religion and attempted some-

thing in the way of Young
Men's Association patented qfter the
Y. M. C. A. of their rivals. This act-
ed as a spur to the oriental mind and
there was a promise of surcem in it.
but the habits of a lifetime and the
traditions of centuries were not to be
easily thrown off and when the Jap-
anese soldiers who ha<i become ac-
customed to the free and easy democ-
racy of the Christian association
found on entering the Buddhist meet-
ing that they were obliged to salute
the priest and do homage to the image
of Buddh there was a reaction. Al-
most a million yen are said to have
been spent In Manchuria In the at-
tempt to undo the work that haa been
done there by the Y. M. C. A. at an
expense of only 60.000 yen. but the
western religion Is the more vigorous
the more aggressive has methods
more In keeping with the pmeut
and is winning out against the older
and more venerated cult. There is lit-
tle doubt that the western religion
will in the end win Its way in Jap-
an. but It will also take on some of
the features of that older and more
life-conserving system and be benefit-
ed thereby. What is of interest politi-
cally in this episode is that the east
cannot hold Its own with the west
even on its own ground.
Tillman considers this a fre? coun-
try and that he has a right to lecture
in Chicago or elsewhere on any of tho
great subjects that stir the pulse of the
American people and challenge the
attention of government and philan-
thropy. He is right and that attempt
of the colored people to prevent the
lecture In Chicago on the annexation
of Cuba will fail. It may be true that
in the consideration of that subject
Tillman will take up the position po-
litical of the colored people but that
Is no sufficient reason why he should
be silenced.
Several street cars will have to go
out of commission as the result of
that street car strike in Hamilton
Ontario in which so many noses were
put out of Joint by the police and so
many strikers sent to Jail. The peace
loving people of that city were not in
evidence on that occasion for sure.
Streets were strewed with ’ae re-
mains of burnt cars prisoners were
rescued from the police as fast us
taken into custody and it was a reg-
ular shindy of the first wate<- with no
one killed but scores of women and
children battered by the bobbles.
PRESS PICKINGS.
Houston Chronicle: Considering
there are many millions of intelligent
patriotic broad-minded citizens north
of the Mason and Dixon line it is sur-
prising what a sure and steady crop of
cranks and fanatics that part of the
universe produces and it is even more
surprising if possible to see what an
amount of bitterness and prejudice
is harbored against the southern peo-
ple.
Theie It goes again. The power to
see the south as others see it Is not
given to the Chronicle. The south is
one hundred times more just in its
judgments of the north than it was
even ten years ago. but it has pounds
of bitterness and prejudice against
the north in stock where the north
has only grains of such prejudice and
bitterness toward the south. In fac
bitterness toward the south by the
north you do not find but there may
be a little prejudice. None the less
the judgments of the north as to the
south are far cleaner and just than
those of the south for the north. There
are reasons for this not necessary to
enter into but the man of observation
and knowledge who has traversed both
sections knows that this is so.
Houston Post: But there was never
a time when every southern commu-
nity had greater need of military com-
panies well equipped and kept in the
highest state of efficiency. It is need-
less to allude to the conditions which
make these protective agencies Im-
perative. The maintenance of law
and order becomes not infrequently a
duty which only the military can ade-
quately perform and it |s not wise to
take chances.
Is that so? Rather is not the re-
verse true and does not this country
and particularly this state depend on
the ranger and the militia and the sol-
dier and the posse instead of upon the
regular officers of the law? Is it not
questionable if better public order is
preserved In the states where these
special means are resorted to than tn
the states where there is no resort to
them? Certain It is that ordinarily
the presence of the soldiers be they
militia or regulars or only the ran-
gers of the border serves to Inflame
passion create a mob call out the rest-
less spirits of that locality to show
how great defiance they can give to
these representatives of force. Thia
country is old enough and should be
civilized enough to be able to pre-
serve the peace at all times by the or-
dinary means at the command of the
officers of the county and city. Better
depend on these.
Fort Worth Star: If you have a pes-
simistic idea Shat the movement for
a Greater Fort Worth is Just a sort of
commercial carnival with a ten-day
license to exhibit the industrial ad-
vaatagea of the city you're losing
time waiting for the show to break up.
Indeed .that kind of a alow-flre citizen
has 'ears of hard sledding ahead.
Best way la to put aside the spirit of
"bold back" and get in the game. It s
exhilarating and makes the blood flow
fast. Don't be a promoter of cloth.
Be a civic pride evangelist. It pays
better.
The Fort Worth Star has evidently
set out on a missionary tour to preach
tee gospel of home helping and home
markets and home Industry and home
Increase to the readers of Its columns.
It could not do a better work for Fort
Worth nor devise more wisely for It-
self. There la a public spirit in that
railroad girdled and grlddled city that
will respond to the proper effort. That
spirit has spent more Fort Worth
money In Fort Worth upbuilding than
has been spent by any city of its size
In any city of the north or south In
the days elapsed since Appomattox.
Fort Worth is in the highway of that
development and the Star will not
shine in vain if it becomes the Bethle-
hem luminary to guide the footsteps
of her Industrial seers to where the
child of greater opportunities and
promise for the future Iles cradled.
Baltimore Sun: His aim Is to play
a great part in national politics as
was indicated by his spectacular and
costly candidacy for the democratic
nomination for president. The inde-
pendence league Is to be his Instru-
ment. and it is his evident hope to
use It to force the democratic party
to adopt the Hearst policies. This
league is probably the only political
party that was ever owned absolutely
by one man for Mr. Hearst has had it
incorporated wtlh himself and his
paid employes as directors. He owns
It a« much as he does his California
ranch or his New York newspapers.
Those who joined the league as a re-
volt against bossism have found tn U
a one-man rule that makes Tammany
seem loosely put together.
His effort to extend this privately
owned political party over the entire
country will be watched with Interest.
But It is hardly conceivable that he
will be able to use It as a club to beat
the democratic national party Into
submission as he did the democratic
organization in New York.
Hearst continues to be the bugaboo
of the democratic party. The man who
stole a meetinghouse does not seem to
be in it with the man who stole a
political party or bought one or built
one in order that he might have no
one to dispute possession. If Hearst
Is as as the Sun makes
him out It will take better general-
ship than the democratic party has re-
cently shown to keep him out of tho
next democratic convention and from
dictating the nomination if he cannot
control it for himself. What Roose-
velt will conclude to do as a candidate
pales into Insignificance beside the
greater question what will Hearst do
in the next democratic convention? If
he owns the Independent League body
and brains and is Its father and moth-
er and first cousin and all its wife's
relations it is only a question of how
great a figure the independent league
can make in the national democratic
convention of two years hence. The
Sun seems to think that the Hearst
title deeds to the league are without
question and it may be right.

BURLINGTON PURCHASE.
Special to The Light.
Chicago. 111. Nov. 28.—It is now
definitely understood that the plan of
the Great Northern to purchase the
Northern Pacific holdings in Chicago
Burlington t Quincy stock have not
been worked out. rhe plan does not
involve the retirement of the Burling-
ton Joint 40 but it is proposed that
the Great .Northern shall guarantee
the Northern Pacific against loss from
the transaction and that the Great
Northern shall deposit further collat-
teral for the bonds In place of the
Burlington stock purchased by the
Great Northern. The plans up to
date do not provide fol an issue ot
stock at this time by the Northern Pa-
cific but they do provide for a cash
dividend of |20 or more a share for
the Northern Pacific stockholders.
