Shall We Have an Imperial Policy

T0many minds, the armed Intervention
OF the United States in Cuba, Porto Rico,
and the Philippines seems like an az
gresFive depar ure from the policy laid
down by Washington in his fairwell ad-
dress in 1876, and reinforced by Molroe
in his famous message of 1S23-Of avoid
ing all enterprises and all responsibilities
of any kind beyond the limits OF the two
American continents.
There have been, however, many prec-
cdents for such procedure during tie past
century and quarter, so many that they
may be divided into six periods: /. Mil

Revolutionary and Barbary wars IT'S 1915

Still At 1t.

One day last week, what was supposed
to be the same two men who held up
e. Il. Burdick's ranch on the Gila, men,
tion of which was made in the Head
light at che time, made their appear
ance at H. NJ. Porter's ranch in West
ern Socorro county and rounded up the
horse herd, taking fresh horses, a lot
of food and other articles, which they
apparently needed in their business.
The manager of the ranch took some
exceptions to such proceeding and filed
demurrer, whereupon, as in the case
Of Joe Hampson's foreman, he was al
lowed three days in which to make him
self scarce. He at once packed up his
personal effects and went to Socorro.
How long such deeds are to continue
is matter for the officers of the law to
determine, but now that the elections
are over, and they have time to attend
to it, would it not be we'll for some or
ganized effort be made to put stop to
such work before some one is murdered
or train held up.-Deming Headlight

AS result of the efforts Of our del
egate to congress, Hon. M. A. Smith,
the United States government will take
steps to build a reservoir near Flor
ence. The following from the Tucson
Citizen is self-explanatory:
Zone Of the most important an
nouncements that has ever been made
in the interest of irrigation in Arizona
is the statement from the Interior De-
partment at Washington that bids will
be received until the 9Th of November
for sinking wells and shafts at the
Buttes on the GiIa river, about ten
miles above Florence, to ascertain the
depth to bed rock, with view to build
ing dam at that point to store the
waters of the Gila river for irrigating
purposes. It is claimed that dam
properly constructed at this point Will
store water twenty miles, in an i'm
mense rock gorge on the Gila river, that
will afford water sufficient to irrigate
the land On one side of the river to
Mesa City, and on the other side all the
Casa Grande country to Maricopa, en-
bracing six or seven hundred thousand
acres in extent"

The same crowd which assassinated
home rule for Arizona is now attempt
ing to prevent Delegate Wilson from
getting statehood by publishing and
scattering broadcast slanderous state
ments concerning what they are pleased
to call 'the American ignorance in Ar
iona" OF course, this is part of the
program Of the federal official gang to
prevent Delegate Wilson from getting
statehood. This infamous slander on
the people of Arizona, it will be noted,
first appeared IN the Journe miner,
owned and edited by the receiver of
the United States Land Office at Pres
colt, and such slender, without doubt,
is part of pre-arranged plot on the
home and foreign goldites to advertise
that Arizona is ignorant and unfit for
statehood, as they fear the efforts of
our very able delegate might get state
hood; and to defeat his efforts the fed
eral officials practically proclaim from
their own homes that "the American
ignorance in Arizona" units it for
statehood. 1t does seem that no means
are too despicable for this gang to re-
sort to in order to defeat the needs
and will of the people of Arizona

without China, the Philippines
have no meaning" says the Boston
Transcript. AS soon as Dewey had ex-
plotted the power of the United States
IN Manila bay the annexation OF Hawaii
was urged with increased persistency.
as it was needed as way station to the
Philippines. Now the Philippines are
desired as way station to China. With
out China they have no meaning. At
this rate of expansion our grief over
the smallness of the planet will soon
be greater than Alexander's was when
ne sighed for new worlds to conquer.
Stripped of its disguises all this means
that we are to enter the scramble for
the partition Of China with all the great
fighting powers of Europe, and is the
beginning Of our downfall as a repub-
lie. The Philippines are to be only the
base Of operations for our army and
navy.

The Democrats have carried Ken
lucky, have elected the governor in
Minnesota and probably have the leg
islatures of Nebraska and Nevada. The
Republican majority in Illinois in 1896
of over 100000 has been cut down to
something like 10000 McKinley's ma
jority in New Jersey of $1,000 has been
cut down to abont 10000. His major
ity of 280000 in New York has been re-
duced to $4,000 for Roosevelt. The
Republican majority of 295,000 in the
last presidential campaign in Penn
sylvania has been entirely efaced and
the Republican candidate for governor
was elected by a minority vote. He
would have been defeated had the sup
porters of his two opponents com bined.
In Massachusetts three Democratic rep
resentatives have been elebted to con-
gress instead of one in the present
congress. Republican majorities in
other states have been greatly reduced.
Finally, the great struggle for the
house of representative is a reduction
of the present Repu blican majority of
fifty-seven in that body to a majority
of seventeen in the next congress-

The peace commissioners at Paris
have about concluded their task. Spain
had no alternative but accept the terms
proposed. She is too weak physically
and financially to resume fighting and
had to take what America saw fit to
give her. The next struggle on the
question of subjugation and terrific
rial expansion, will take place in the
United States Senate when the treaty
comes up for ratification. We will find
out then those who favor Imperialism
and those who still adhere to a repub-
lican form of government.

A Washington paper says that the
war tax will not be abolished at the
coming session of congress, and that
there viii be no revision Of the tariff
whatever This announcement is based
upon the positive statement made by
Chairman Dingley OF the ways and
means committee, who in an interview,
says: THE government will need for
some time all the revenue produced by
the war taxes. During October the
war expenditures exceeded the war rev
enue by some $14C)400Oand this month
they will be $l0,0o0.000in excess. This
being the case there will be no change
this fiscal year. The war revenue act
will continue in force and unchanged,

The Danger Signal.

The Home Market club of Boston is
an organization largely representative
OF the great manufacturing interests of
New England. At the recent annual
meeting the secretary read a paper ex-
pressive of the clubs views on terri
torial expansion This report takes
the ground, hitherto advocated in the
Herald, that if the islands be annexed
the United States constitution will en-
able them to introduce free trade in
such articles as sugar, tobacco, hemp,
fruits and various ores, and all other
goods produced in the annexed re-
gions. And SO far as the introduction
OF manufacturing is concerned "their
annexation would seem to expose our
industrial population to unrestrained
competition Wild low-priced, ill-con-
ditioned and coolie labor"
The report sites the constitution
and statutes to prove that the people
of the Philippines, as lately shown in
the Herald, would have the right of
unrestricted immigration to the
United States. Furthermore, the re-
port says:
"This will apply to Porto Ricans,
Cubans, Hawaiians, Filipinos and all
races resident in those countries, if
annexation takes place and territorial
governments are set up. They can
come in any of the United States to
engage in any of our industries, and if
Governor Tanner of Illinois commands
his militia to prevent them it will be
the duty of the president to overcome
his forces by those of the United States.
1t is no answer to this logical conclu-
sion to say that the constitution is not
enforced now. The fact suggests itself
rather that we already have more race
and labor probloms than we have been
able safely and wisely to solve" Los
Angeles Herald.

The New Capitol.

The capitol site commisson is today
hard at work on the preliminaries nec-
esssary before the advertising is made
for contracts for the construction of
the new building
The new building will be l84 feet
long and 81 feet deep and will stand
north and south with the front facing
Washington street. Entering from the
front the visitor will pass through the
vestibule to the rotunda, which will
be handsomely designed and finished.
The first floor will contain u impor-
tant rooms besides the courts, corridors
and smaller rooms for employees, etc.
Two elevators and a stairway will
lead to the next floor where the execu-
tive Offices will occupy three rooms in
front and On the north half of the
building, the secretary's Office being in
the south half. Opposite the executive
Offices will be the Offices of the attorney
general and auditor, and in the rear
portion of the south half will be three
large library rooms.
The third or legislative floor will be
occupied by the council and assembly
halls and the supreme and federal
court chamb bers The council chamber
will be at the north end Of the struct-
ure and the assembly chamber at the
south end, while the court chambers
will be in the center of the building
The legislative halls will be oval in
shape and there will be numerous COM
mittee rooms and other smaller apart
ments necessary for the transaction of
the business of these departments.

Those Repu ublicans who talk about
the recent election having been an
Overwhelming endorsement Of the
party are merely indulging in pipe
dreams. There was nothing oveywhelm-
ing about the election. On the con-
trary it was only by the skin of their
teeth, as the saying is, that the Repub-
licans escaped defeat. It was such a
close shave that a change of 300 votee,
distributed among eight congressional
districts would have put the Republi-
cans il the minority in the next house,
instead Of majority. It should not
be forgotten, either, that the Republi-
can majority in the next house will be
80 less than their majority in the pres
ent house To blow about such an en-
dorsement as that is simply to exhibit
gall.-Prescott Courier

The next step in the development OF
the plans of the administration has
been taken. United States marines
have been landed on Chinese territory,
ostensibly to protect the American le-
cation. But, Judging from the events
of quite recent occurrence, it looks as
if Uncle Sam proposed to take an ac-
tive part in tie partition of that en-
pire. What that will lead to, no man
can foresee.

1t appears to be the general impress
sion, both in the United States and
Cuba, that the annexation of that island
is inevitable. Ia fact, "to man up
tree" it looks as if the late war was one
of conquest, rather than for humanity's
sake. We propose to hold and govern
millions of people without the formal
ity of asking their consent. Such pro-
ceedings may be consistent with re-
publican form Of government which our
forefatLers conquered and bequeathed
US, but we can't see it.

assisting materially in saving, tempo
rarily, an issue that it recently de-
nounced.-Los Angeles Herald.

able money laid up from my gardening and thence on can take life easy, here or in city.

to that effect before he can take a step un- der the bill adopted by the house.
 The Henderson bill Is largely the Torrey bill Of the last congress. The need of some general plan for adjusting the differences between debtors and creditors at the heel of long and trying period of depression. Is widely felt. and the Henderson bill doubtless offers basis for compromise
 acceptable to both houses and to the coun- try. The senate Is considered more in- clined to a general bankruptcy law than it was when the Nelson bill was passed, and 1t is reasonable to assume that a bill of some sort will be perfected under the powers of congress.
 Congress shows an inclination, however, to make the bill of temporary nature only. It will doubtless be devised for the purpose of clearing the calendar. so to speak. and when the accumulation of cases has been disposed of the subject will be remitted to the states again. There is some comfort in knowing there is one subject that the states are considered by republicans competent to handle.
