THE SUBJECT OF RECoUhTs.

one respect elections in their subsequent effects
resemble a warm rain. The latter is usually fol-
lowed by luxuriant crop OF weeds. Elections
are always followed by generous crop OF recounts
At the present time large numbers OF candidates,
dissatisfied with the announced results OF the late
vote are considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF eXpend1ng
more of their money upon lawyers and tally clerks
In no case is any hope held out that recount will
change the sern-ofical totals but these candidates
are said to think" they have been elected, and to
consequently entertain serious doubts to whether
or not a mistake has not been made in the returns
The threatened crop Of recounts presents some in
teresting mental phenomena. 1t seems that when
politician makes up his mind that ne is entitled to
reelection the difficult thing in the world is to
convince him that he has been defeated. Constant
reflection only serves to make him certain that
he is invncible Especially is this true of office
holders who have for long time been in receipt Of
a salary. To them the idea that the people have con-
euded dispense with their services is incompre-
hensble How the government will get along with
out them is to them an impenetrable mystery.
Among those who talking of recount is Judge
Wallace 1t said that this ursts friends believe he
was counted out by the criminal element The
idea is that the Board of Election Commissioners
controlled by Mayor Phelan appointed upon the pre-
<nct boards sufficient number OF criminals TO direct
the canvass adverse to Judge Wallace. These men,
1t is 1ntmated, took about 1000 votes away from him
and distributed them among Judges who deal more
leniently with crime than he does-Judges Seawe
and Trout for instance who never try criminal
cases. Judge Borden, who has been trying them
only few weeks; and Judge Murasky who never
tried criminal case in his life
The absurdity of such reasoning this can
scarcely be estimated Judge Wallace has served the
Superior bench twelve years Judge Low has served in
the Police and Justices Court eight years, Judge
Joachimsen has served in the same capacities for
twenty years. Block has been Tax Collector for six
years and Sebe Assessor for eight years All these
gentlemen have been dropped because the people
cluded it time to give somebody else chance
Ofice-hoding is not perpetual trust 1t has limit
and in some the limit is reached at the end of
and in others at the end of three 1t is no
reflection these defeated candidates that they have
been retired. All the people have done is to check
their disposition to their Offices into per-
petuities.

The EXPANSION in four years was $38,ooo,4oo All
that was gained without the expense of military con-
quest and the higher cost of governing conquered
colonies.
The Philippines Cuba and Porto Rico comolneo
absorb only $32,ooo,ooo OF imports annually II we
take those islands and get all OF that trade 1t VIII ado
an nconsiderabe percentage to exports, and the
profit of it will not pay per cent of the cost OF gar
risoning and governing them OF course we will not
oct all that trade Other nations will divide it with
us while they will bear none of the burdens OF gov
erning an alien people.
There is some talk about increasing the absorbing
capacity of the people of these islands but there Is
no evidence that their wants can be increased re-
curing an increased supply, by any change IN thelf
government Their soil and climate supply al
most spontaneously their physical wants, ana no
change in flags change natural conditions Inc
energy our people must expend IN holding distant
possessions under the vertical sun OF the tropics II
mt into extending our trade with Central and South
America, would bring in one year rlcher returns THAN
we get in any score of years OF tropical colo
MES
If our export trade were languishing and Our sur
Mus production congesting on our hands, there might
he some argument for even a doubtful experiment
But with a steady and enormous increase In tine
worlds demand for what we have to sell and supply
there is every argument for the avoidance OF expert
ments.
These considerations are the practical the COM
mercial side of the issue. When the proposition is
examined on its ethical side in the light of its prob
able effect upon our people, and the change it inn
plies in our government and its methods, there is
even less to be said for imperial miarsm The les
son of our hundred days in the tropics
will surely not be lost From every camp,
from Manila, Honolulu, Porto Rico and
Santiago by every mail comes the lengthen-
ing roster of the dead. Feversmitten soldiers Ian
guish in the hospitals, and the bugle walls taps
hourly over the dead Americans will not volunteer
to fill up the ranks OF the regular army to the 100000
soldiers required for service and garrison duty in
those tropical stations. 1t is idle to talk about any
care and sanitary reforms that will curb these fatai-
ties The climate is poison to our race and nothing
can either change it or adapt white to it. Our
brief experience in Cuba and Porto Rico has proved
that even our negro troops are not immune They
have been changed by years passed III the temper
ate zone Why need we go abroad for problems to
solve to hunt trouble, to seek burdens, to increase
taxation and to prepare reaction that will push our
very government from its constitutional moorngs?

THAT SWAT'S THE MATTER.

HERE is always trouble in the British Indian
possessions. Just now it is due to the forceful
= Swat. With the personal characteristics of the
Swat, the people OF the United States have not the
joy of being familiar The name, however is omin-
1t suggests hostile activity. An official Swat
leading to battle regiment of Swats would naturally
inspire feeling of uneasiness the part of the
enemy. The Secretary for India, being asked if there
was trouble brewing, might fttingy answer, THAT
Swat's the matter"
We observe with apprehension that the boss Swat
is moving against the Nawab OF Dir. This latter
gentleman is also less of stranger out this
way, but never heard anything particular against
him, and hope that he will get the worst of the
encounter. To be licked by a Swat would be a
humifating experience unless it happened to be OF
the variety which searches out the solar plexus.
The matter is not calling for aggressive sym
pathy, yet a Nawab might be gentleman, while to
think of Swat anything but unframed pugilist
fighting in defiance of ring rules is impossible.

been failures AS rule they have not been clothed
with sufficient power effectively given su-
cient money to do anything of genuine usefulness.
Most of them have been simply expense to the
State and nothing more. The Commissioners have
drawn their salaries made their reports and that has
been the end of their work.
So futile have been the majority of these bureaus
that there has been demand for their abolition. 1t
is certain, therefore, the people will not look with
favor uponfthe creation of a commission unless
exceptionally strong arguments be given for it
and unless it can be assured that the commission will
be able to render real service to the community
The prospect of obtaining comprehensive
forcement OF pure food laws by State commission
is not encouraging The work never be effec-
