The Imperialist's Creed.

believe in keeping up the old war
taxes to prevent trade with Europe, and
the new war taxes to force trade with
Asia.
| believe in the exclusion of ignorant
Europeans, and the inclusion OF more ig-
norant Asidtics.
! believe in protective tariff where
farmers would trade abroad, but in free
trade where manufacturers seek mar
ket.
! believe the public cannot manage
monopolies at home, but can manage sub
iect races on the other side Of the globe.
believe in home rule for Ireland, but
I in alien rule for the Spanish islands.
believe in Il Monroe doctrine which
forbids Europe to interfere with seli-gov-
eminent in America, but permits America
to interfere with sef-government in Asia.
believe the blacks hive right to
govern themselves, but that whites and
blacks have a right TO govern the yell
lows.
believe taxation without representa-
ton is tyranny when applied to us, but
philanthropy when applied by us.
believe that governments get their
! just powers from the consent of the gov
erned in America, but of the conscious
superiority Of governors in Asia.
| believe that militarism and foreign
broiIs are the refuge Of despotism in
Europe, and repubIicanism in America.

Over 700 members of the Washington
regiment left Manila for San Francisco
September 1 and should arrive at the lat
ter port about October l. The general
committee of the Seattle reception used
its greatest energies to have an officer
put aboard the transport who would on
the way home arrange all details for the
mastering out OF the regiment as soon as
possible after it reaches San Francisco.
This may and it may not he done. 1t is,
therefore, at present uncertain whether
the reception will be held about October
Is or November l. 1t is the general be-
lief that it will be between these dates.

THURSDAY. SEPT. IA, 1909.
PROVES TOO MUCH.

In its zeal in defense of trusts, the Ia
coma Ledger proves rather too much. Not
that it is in particular love with the trusts
especially the paper trust-but because
of an inherent conviction that whatever
Mark Hanna advocates requires defense,
and the apportionment OF Marks bari
next year may be based upon the amount
OF defending done by his advocates.
In repelling an insnuation that the
iron trust was not sinking money in pa
triotic endeavor to boost Mckinley pros
perity, the Ledger, unadvisedly, said:
"The great boom in iron and steel in
this country, from the fact that we could
supply foreign countries more cheaply
than any other nation, has resulted from
the low price of ore. The immense de.
posts IN the Lake Superior country, where
it can be literally 'scraped off the side OF
a mountain with ~ shovels has revo-
lutionized the iron and steel ind"o:s:
Ore could be mined and laid down at the
furnaces OF Chicago, Cleveland and Pitts
burg at a less cost than the freight few
years since, and this, with improved
methods of manufacture, has made the
United States the greatest iron and steel
producing country in the world, and able
to undersell England and Germany in
their own markets."
The last two lines evidently slipped the
blue pencil of the censor. and gives away
the whole vicious scheme Of the so-called
protective tariff 1t shows that all the
protection afforded goes to the trust, in
it's process OF skinning the consumers of
iron in this country. Note the wording.
"We are able to undersell England and
Germany IN THEIR OWN MARKETS." The
tariff bars those nations from this mar
ket, and here, under this purchased law
which even the Ledger says is not
needed-the trust eXacts from 20 to 60 per
cent more from the people than it sells
for, at a profit, in the markets where
foreign competition is met, after paying
the freight.
ii any doubt existed that tariff laws
enacted for the express purpose Of repay
ing ante election contributions was in
tended to give its benefciaries a legal
right to levy taxes at will upon the Ameri-
can consumers OF their products, the
showing OF the Ledger would dispel it.

AGAINST IMPERIALISM.

Senator William +. Mason, Of Illinois,
writes the following to the anti-imperi-
alist organizati,
'That class Of dangerous citizens who
feel above serving their country have not
yet heard Of the unnecessary and uncon-
rttutional war now being waged by rs to
make slaves in the Philippine islands.
Congress, the only war-making power
under our constitution, has not. They
say we bought the right 10 govern from
Spain. Then we bought what we had no
night to buy and what Spain haG no right
to sell. We purchased goods from a thief
we knew it, and told the world what
Spain was long before we purchased. To
get the technical right to kill, we call
them rebels against government to
which they never have sworn allegiance
We must make them subjects before
they can be rebels.
eve say they can't govern themselves.
Why not try them awhile before killing
them? They say they will kill each
other 1t isn't true, but if it was it would
be better than killing our boys.

to govern another without his consent it

Cn1namAu's strange A"'
Tn the eleventh century there was born
a Young Chinaman. who was name"
Chow l Elm Chi. Nothing remarkable IN
this. lots Of us have been born. b"t
Young Chow was a fellow who ilshed an"
roaued about u good deal, and tins II
was that brought him--not into trouble,
but into nOtoriety.
One dav in his rambling he found
cave, The cave ran through MI an"
had AN entrance on each side OF 1t. Hoth
entrances were rather crescent shape"
u i,h the c"ncave sides of the c'escei's
facing each other. The cave itself was
round as IL moon, inside. Out OF these
op,nseL crescents aud the moon shaped
cave he evolved diagram that has be-
come noted among the Chinese. lhis
diagram. the Great Monad, was used to
illustrate Il system OF philosophy esiah-
lisled by Fuh Iii, 5000 years before Christ
was born, and, OF course, 1000 years
before Chow found his wonderful cave.
II is now used also AS symbol Tor
something else. From the mysteries OF
all ancient Chinese philosophy it has
been dragged forth to illustrate the mod
ern American sy stem OF transportation.
1t has. so to speak, leaped across gull
of nearly nine centuries, become Il mod
ern invention, as it were, and now does
duty as the trade mark OF the Northern
Pacific Railway Company.
This line, starting from the heart OF the
American continent stretches westward
to the sea whose waters battle alike, the
shores of America and China.
From the other side of the great ocean
this symbol comes, not only down the long
centuries, but across the watery waste, to
meet the glistening rails and thus to link
closely together the ancient and the
modern, the heather and the christian,
the Monaghan and the Caucasian.
This design is a circle in form, the cen.
tire composed Of two eel shaped crescents,
one above the other. The upper crescent
is either red or white, the lower one
black. The original Monad has certain
mystic characters grouped around the
crescents, the new adaptation OF it has
the words Northern Pacific and Yellow
stone Park encrcl;ng the crescents. In
the Chinese Monad these crescents are
known as Yang and Yin, the male and
female principles of life. In the new,
they stand for Motion and Rest, Force
and Matter.
In China this Monad has wonderful
potency. 1t Cards off evil, s0isease, harm,
and is hung up over doors, etc, to guard
against evil spirits. Who shall say that
it has not also the same power in its new
field? Why should it not, escutcheoned
upon the cars OF the company's trains,
also ward off harm, prevent accident?
Why should its potency be lessened in
its transplanting.
This design or trade mark is now to be
seen upon the railway company's station
cry, cars, printed matter and on the win
dows OF its ticket Offices. Its striking, eye
like appearance, like the eye OF the An.
cient Mariner, holds one as with spell

and Mr.. Chas. S. Fee, general passenger
agent of the railway company, is due the
credit of unearthing and adapting this
peculiar design, which has been copy.

The grandiloquence OF some of our re-
publican exchanges when speaking Of the
government leads to the belief that their
idea Of national life is that the people
exist for the governments, but the good
old democratic idea, that governments
exist for the people, is still good enough
for us.

UNION PACIFIC WRECK.
Noon Passenger Train In a Col
liSiOn at Silver Lake.

The Union Pacific west bound pas
senger train which left Topeka at z 80
this afternoon, was wrecked at Silver
Lake. twelve miles west OF Topeka
A freight train standing on a switch
with three cars reaching out onto the
main track was the cause OF the wreck
The engineer saw the obstruction, but
when he attempted to use the air
the brakes failed to work. Seeing that
collision was unavoidable, he sounded
the warning and he, the fireman and
the mail clerks and express messengers
jumped and escaped injury.
The tender was forced into the mail
car, but none of the passenger cars left
the track The passengers were con
siderably shaken up, but no one was
seriously injured.
The freight cars which were standing
on the main track were overturned and
wrecked. and the engine was badly
damaged
