WHAT PERPLEXES US.
Co-tain prolific philosophers hav
much to say in condemnation of the
cultured ani capable classes, because
they refuse of neglect to become fath
er and mothera on ft larger scale.
Then they pen voluminous contribu
tions on the follies and weakness of the
poor, who are held to be entirely too
reckless and extravagant in the matter
of numerous offspring. ,"
These ideas being thoroughly venti
lated and duly Impressed upon the pub
lic, the light of knowledge is next 1st
In upon us to the effect that the chil
dren of the rich are usually pampered:
and spoil!; that they are not indus
trious' and seldom i'.se to positions of
honor, or become really, great; that
their money Is their claim to distinc
tion and their god, and that It often
slips through their fingers In the sec
nd or third generation.
Then by the proof of many illus
trious examples we are taught that
the offspring of the poor, who are jos
tled against the rough corners of fate
and learn by bitter experience the SO'
iution of the problems of life, are the
ones who rise to eminence, become the
heroes of their country and are the
builders and saviors of lhe nation.
Hence our bewilderment. Whether
, to be rich, and, being rich, to be child
less and sensured, or prolific in Incon
sequential progeny; or to be poor, and,
being poor, to be surrounded with the
usual brood of poor-man's children.
one of which may become a president,
or to be childless, conforming to the
strictures of the critics, and
accused by the neighbors of
apeing the snobbery of the aristo
crats. These are the -luestionv
Other philosophers may be able to
explain away the difficulties of the
situation, and make clear as mud the
mysteries of right and expediency In
volved, but the lmmediate.effect would
seem to be to leave the wealthy unde
cided between the alternatives of be
coming poor and remaining childless,
with the probability in favor of the
latter, and to give the poor license
to procied with the regular annual
program, while envying the exemption
and affluence of the rich.
ft Is probably safe to assert that the
wealthy are much more than content
that others shall fulfill the injunction
to replenish the earth to their utmost,
for the larger the Increase from hum
ble parentage, the larger the ranks of
the masses and the lower the cost of
their services. It is to he hoped that
President Roosevelt, who opened up
this problem afresh, will give some
answsr to the columns which have
been written on it since his speech was
delivered.
"THE -MAN FROM THE WEST,"
It would be strange indeed if all the
brains and the energy and the ability
in this country were to be found In the
cast that Is, In the territory lying
north and east of the Appalachain
chain and including most of the Atlan
tio seaboard states. The middle and
the far west would hardly be true to
their ancestral traditions if they had
not produced some really great men
and .they would be still more dlsobed.
lent to their ancestral instincts if they
had not turned the moccasins of a few
of their great men eastward sent them
. back here to Infuse Into us effete east
erners something of the breezIneBs and
the gel-thereity of their own kind.
We note" what seems to be a growing
disposition In certain quarters to extol
the west for what she has done and is
doing for the country at large, and es
speially for the influence that western
men are exerting in the political, com
mercial and religious life of the east.
In the course of a year we easterners
are told a good many times that Lin
coln and Grant were both products of
the great west; that Hayes and Gar
field and Harrison and McKinley all
sprang from the loins of that achiev
ing monster In fact, that the country
might not be able to find worthy pres
idential timber any more, were "for
eat destruction" to -extend to "the tall
sycamores of the Wabash" and the
other giants In the political woods of
ti west. '. We are not averse to that
sort of thing. Here In New York we
might all outgrow our hats loo often
were we not reminded occasionally that
we are not the "whole thing."
In a company from "all over." like
that which broke bread and cracked
bottles together at the newspaper pub
lishers' dinner not long back, sent!
ments like those Just described "took"
masingly and It Is not to be won
dered at. They found happy expres
ston In the mots of a westerner latterly
come among us chiefly because he had
heard that an "honest, upright, conscl
entious and Christian lawyer" would
find little or no competition In the fast!
We easterners are much too good ma
tured, as a general thing, to find any
fault with these flings; especially when
they come In the form of seml-serlous
after-dinner ebulitlons.
But it may be wise to put a little
che.-k on them occasionally lest the
west take the bit In Its teeth and run
away with the whole United States
some fine day. Let us admit that the
men of the west possess a superb sur
charge of arterial blood that unfits
them for any form of effort In which
It is not possible to "do things" by
which we mean, of course, big things.
They cannot live on tea and Thursday
morning lectures. But let them re
flect that the great west would be an
Indian-denlxened wilderness today If
th coarser energy of the old east had
rot fretted and chafed at counting
room and class-room confinement 40,
60, ani 100 years back, broken loose
wPh a whoop from the bonds of con
servatism, and gone to killing and
clearing and mining and blazing the
way for the jrestern civilisation that
all the world admires today.
The east first made the west possible
with her pioneers. Then she loaned
the west her money with a rather
bountiful hand. The west was loo
energetic and too proud to let her cred
itor foreclose and take charge and the
cast couldn't have done :he latter any
way. So the thing has finally evened
itself up admirably. And today the
"man from the west" among us, whom
it Is Xhi mode of the moment to fxtol,
Is for the most part only an eastern
chicken come home to roost.
We like the west. We really couldn"
get along without her. We reed her
In our business. Whenever we get
too conservative or timorous or narrow
or selfsatisfied we can go to her for
a mouthful of fresh air and, if we
don't inhale so much of it as to breed
a bit of radicalism or populism in our
systems, the draught does us a heap
of good N. T. Commercial.
In an address before the state judic
ial convention at Detroit last Monday
Mr. Bryan said, speaking of ex-Presi
dent Orover Cleveland: "I am not
ashamed of any humble part I may
have had In driving out of the demo
cratic party a man who tried to make
money the master and everything else
the servant. I want him In some other
party. I would be glad to" help organ
ize one for his exclusive use." Such
language may commend Itself to some
of Mr. Bryan's constituency, but, com
ing from a man of his aspirations. It
will not be admired by a large number
of American people who, having twice
loyally regarded Mr. Cleveland as their
chief executive,., now hold him In high
esteem as an honored, though private
citizen.
. Things are not always what they
seem. At first glance it might be
hard to explain Just why the rintlng
of the city of Astoria was let to Bob
Gibson for a term of two years by
private arrangements, without adver
tising for bids for a two-year contract,
and at a higher figure than could have
been obtained in the usual and legal
way. Still, things are not always
what thev seem.

"It appeals to you, when the fruit
hangs ripe and sweet on the tree late tn
February, or arly tn March. Then the

artistic background for a tropical for

heavy with the fragrance as night

shlnlng.you hear at midnight through
open windows, the song of the mocking
bird tn the scented grove, and It never
seemed so melodious before."
