SOMEWHAT RUMILIATING

The American newspapers. a fort
night since, were indulging in a glorifi-
cation over the Haytian affair. wherein
IL was asserted that President McKin-
ley had delivered himself of a short
but decisive official expression to Ger
many, taking the Monroe doctrine for
his text. A few days subsequent ii was
given out that Germany had not only
paid no attention 10 the wishes of the
United States, but that Simon Sam. the
president of Hayti, had received an ulti-
nlatum through the commander OF a
German war vessel which WAS TO the
effect that he would be given so many
minutes 10 pay the indemnity demanded
by Germany or otherwise lake the
chances in a bombardment. Simon
Sam and ais cabinet concluded TO nav.

1t was believed by majority of peo-

Latter Day apostles was the same that

there are ignorant. highly emotional

Seventh Dad Adventists. the Sanctifica-

AN1MPENDING EVIL.

Concentration threatens the very life
of present existing civilization The
trust and combine is essaying the con-
troll of every human interest. There are
10 exceptions. The effort is for the
absorption of the smaller by the great
er. The chances for the individual in
diversified opportunities diminish year
ly, nor Human wisdom nor power seem
able to throttle the wrong which is COM
ing to the great aggregation of human
ity. This rule of concentration not only
dominates the greater and universal in
terests. but is creeping into every possi-
BILE department Of human enterprise
and industry. The department store is
driving the average shop and stand of
the retailer to the wall is also destroy
ing rental values and threatening the
very life of great cities. The village
butcher exists no longer and even the
bOotblack's head is threatened by the
sfree shine of the shoe department Of
the universal mercantile establishment.
Even the New England farmer eats
The stock of the Chicago packing house.
Country mills are disappearing in the
interest of the huge roller concerns of
the northwest. 1t is claimed that all
this concentration Of interests, indus
tries and economies means better and
cheaper products for the consumer. But
if the consumer is robbed of his chance
10 earn anything Of what benefit TO
him is cheapness? We are assured that
the trusts have made oil cheap, and
sugar cheap, and meat cheap, and bread
cheap. But are they not making cheap
communities and cheap, impoverished
people? Are we not rapidly tending TO
civilization of an upper ten" and a
''lower million?''

PENSION PREJUDICE.

The proposition being urged upon the
government for the posting Of the
names of all pensioners, together with
the amounts drawn by each, will meet
with opposition. 1t is unnecessary to
enumerate the whyfores. There are a
number of them. not counting the obJec-
ton of expense. The pension roll
should be roll Of honor. Were ii
strictly so. in fact, there would be little
objection 10 the proposition Of publica-
ton. Every veteran drawing an honest
pension should be proud of the fact. The
people of the United States do not COM
plain of the burden imposed by an ever
growing pension list. The man who i'm
paired his health and strength and Jeop-
ardiZed his life for his country is enu-
tied to living. The fact that the pen
sion list now demands annually more
money than Is required to maintain the
greatest of Europe's standing armies
has no weight The republic survives,
and through the blood Of patriots dead,
and the crippled lives Of veterans llV-
inc. No other argument is necessary,
no additional principle is desired. Still
there is the continued criticism coupled
with warnings and propositions of cur
taiiment. probably mainly growing out
of partisan prejudice. The fact that
there are 5000 widows drawing pen
sions for the war of 1912 cuts no figure.
The fact that the pension appropriation
bill now equals all the other expendl-
lures of the general government, Will
have no weight as against the resolve
of the American people to do the right
thing by the men who offered their lives
in defense of the country. So far as the
partisan charges of fraud are concerned
they ought to be investigated. Wrongs
in the pension service should be unre'
Ientiugly eliminated, and frauds, Ii
any. wiped out. The cutting of oi
voung widows will make no perceptible
difference in the aggregate approprfa
tons one way or the other. A very
large per cent of the existing pension
appropriations was not incurred by the
general pension laws, but by special en-
actments for individuals who either
could not avail themselves of the gen
eraI laws, or otherwise the amounts fix
ed bv such laws were unsatisfactory
Durino ono term of congress, the Fifty
fourth, 1,O2O private pension bills were
introduced in the house and $40 in th'
senate. Many of these became laws
The Republican leaders of the senate
and house have resolved on greater eau
ton and thorough investigation. Ihl'
is right. But the Republican party, al
such. will pay little heed to the clamol
raised against growing pension Ist
by or through the prejudice OF the Dem
ocl,atic and Populist parties.

A BRUTAL EXHIBITION.

There ought to be some legal way OF
aunu,i;ng or of rendering IN; ossible
such outraees against human nature
and bumaL endurance as WAS perIle-
trated in New York last week IN the
name of sport" 1t was beastly ex-
hibition of human intemperance more
inhuman than the Knockout OF the
prize ring. Athletics was run mad in
that six days and nights bicycle con-
test. Eighteen haggard faces, eighteen
expended bodies reeling and struggling
in defiance Of the laws of their being.
Tne lines on their faces became COO
1facted, their eyes lost the light of in
telligence. their speech became a jargon
of intelligibility. When they reeled ex-
nausted to- the side of the tracks or in
plaintive tones begged for sleep and
rest, their trainers forced some artificial
stimulant OF tonic down their unwilling
ihroats and pushed them on. Like
hounds. they were driven TO the brink
C death despite their piteous appeals.
We shudder ever the recitals of the
blood and debauchery of the Roman
arena where life and death contests of
men and beasts only Sufficed for pas
time of drunken rulers. and deny the
cruelty of the Spanish bull fight. How
much more refined is the Knockout OF
the prize ring or the inhumanities OF
that bicycle arena in New York last
week? There was in it only an exhibit
ton of brute endurance and the money
OF the gambler.

saying that ANY man in Kentucky who

hip-pocket disgrace from a southern
governor is encoura ging and will have
its effect. 1t is the promise of new re-
gime. The use of any deadly weapon
unou any occasion other than extreme
ueril of life or in resisting crime, is not
a brave act. Governor Bradley strikes

as those Of the traditional Medes and

have to leave the school. No effort on
the part of the masters would save him
