Manifestly an Imperialist

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald
In your Issue Of recent dato Is an article
from ex-senator John Sherman opposing
extension Of United States territory, claim
ing this as the cause of the downfall of all
the nations of antiquity.
1t Is patent to me that a more obvious
cause than increase OF domain has been the
universal cruelty and neglect of the parent
powers towards their colonies. This
has been the exact and exasperat..
ing cause of the collapse of king
doms and powers. cannot think Of
stronger situation, present or past,
than England and her colonial possessions.
Canada and Australia, and 1t is to be hoped
that India will be faster bound by i'm
proved and Just laws. Spain has just lost
her colonies by the most brutal and mur-
derous treatment known in later ages.
We can spare two million young men and
their families to redeem these waste spots
gardens of the earth-and generous laws
will make them centers of power to stay
up our hands in future emergencies.

ply was getting short in places.

No Place for a Poor Man

To the Editor of The Los Angeles Herald:
Recent reports from Dawson state that
the situation there and In the region sur
rounding the mushroom city are bad and
rapidly growing worse. Food is becom-
Ing scarce and 30 Is remunerative en-
ployment. One dispatch says 'it is gen.
orally observed that the vicinity OF Daw-
son is no place for poor man."
VIII some wise person please inform a
few anxious millions OF unemployed or
partially employed men what place is a
good one for q poor man? Where is there
city. town or rural district which offers
any inducements for a poor man, how
ever able and willing he may be to honestly
earn living? II there be one such place
within the boundaries Of the United States
or British Columbia, 1 desire to know
where 1t is. Everywhere there Is the same
system which offers Inducements to spec
ulators land-grabbers and human sharks
to ply their vocations successfully and
amass fortunes without earning them.
But tho only inducemen. held out to the
man 30 unfortunate as to be poor and
honest is an opportunity to work for some
earth-lord at a prico fixed by the employ.
er. That means luxury and enrichmen. !.
the wage-slave who does the work. These
are the conditions prevailing In aE locali-
ties where existence would be desirable,
and also in most regions where population
is 30 sparse and the country so desolate
that those who live there must be de-
prived Of everything that goes to make life
enjoyable.
Why is there no place for a poor man?
Simply because our laws and customs pre-
vent him from freely applying hts labor
to natural ressources-the only method by
which any man, rich or poor, can produce
such things as are necessary to supply hu-
man wants.
Under such laws and customs involun-
tary poverty. misery and crime will pre-
vail throughout this boasted land of free
dom. Those evils will continue in spite
Of all the efforts Of the superficial REFORM
ers, the distributions made by organized
charities, the assumed wisdom Of legisla-
tors and the sermons and prayers Of min
isters and churches.
With natural resources made free to all
| there would be plenty OF places for the
poor man-and he need not long be poor.
