WANTED: A CHECK ON IMPERIALISM.


At first there was general DISPOSE
ton to cry out in horror against the
possibility of an extra session of Con-
gress. But now that there is to be no
extra session and the present body is
to adjourn sine die, there is a contrary
disposition on the part of the people,
voiced by the Independent press Of the
country, rather to cling to Congress as
a bulwark and a shield against the I'M
obstructed imperial policy of the ad-
ministration.
1t is beginning to be understood that
there are worse things than an extra
session of Congress, and that one of
them is an administration subject to
the influences that control this admin
istration and bent on dangerous and
unAmerican policy abroad.
Mr. Mckinley has time and time
again proven his weakness or utter
subserviency to the capitalistic element
hat created and absolutely controls
HIS administration anu dlCnOuSn the
present Congress is overwhelmingly
Republican it has shown its independ-
snce of these influences in a notable
degree and has proven an effective
brake on the imperial tendencies of the
executive. The next-the fifty-sixth
congress, which is the one that would
respond to call for an extra session,
would be even a stronger check to the
administration, for whereas the Re-
publican majority in the present House
Of Representatives is over fifty, that
majority is reduced in the next Con-
gress to thirteen and doubtless as many
patriotic Republicans opposed to the
unAmerican policy of Mr. Mckinley
and his hackers would be found in that
body as are in the present House.
Much as the American people dislike
usually to have that expensive institu-
ton called in extra session, still they
would feel much safer in the present
instance if the administration with its
dangerous schemss Of Imperialism and

1.-THE KING CAN DO NO WRONG"
New York World.

New York World.
The Republicans propose that Mr.. Nc
Kinley shall, after the manner of the Is
raelites of old, lay upon the head of Alger,
as upon the head of a scapegoat, allthe
sins of the second-term syndicate and
send him forth into the wilderness of pub
lie disgrace
This is truly a monarchial proposition,
based upon the theory that the king can
do no wrong"
Who issued the calls for that huge I'M
necessary army of a quarter Of a million
men in the face of the warnings of the
military experts? Who assigned Shafter
to the Santiago command? Who signed
the commissions of the Sons of Somebod-
les? Who exalted Corbin. the genius Of
incompetence and disorder? Who raised
up Eagan. the blackguard purveyor Of
embalmed rations? Who is the principal
beneficiary of the second-term syndicate
the main object of all its unsavory work
ing?
For whom were Alger and Algerism
working?
But the king can do no wrong" If
wrong is done he has been deceived"
If grave offenses against humanity and
public honesty are committed in his name
and by and with has consent, he has beer
badly advised"
For lack of better. this theory is well
worth the trying. But we doubt if the
American people are just yet worked up
to the point where they will accept the
notion that William of Canton is not the
Chief Executive but ''divinely irrespon-
sible' person with a herd of scapegoats
at his disposal to get him out of his
scrapes.

AS it requires only the signature of
the sovereign to ratify the peace treaty
on the part of Spain, the refusal of the
Cortes to sanction the treaty cuts no
great figure unless the Queen shall de-
cline to ratify without the consent of
that body While the consent of the
Cortes is necessary to the disposition
Of Spanish territory, that authority
was given in advance to SPANS peace
commissioners. There is little ikeli-
hood that Spain will not ratify the

SQUIRE DAY TAKEN CARE OF.

In applauding the appointment OF
| Squire Day to the fat judgeship Mr..
Mckinley has provided for his Canton
neighbor and chum, the Four
teenth street organ declares that
Mr.. Day ''has been rev.
elation to the country, exhibited rare
diplomatic qualities, won the admira-
ton and respect of the foreign repre-
sentatives at Washington, and proven
himself skilled and careful states
man during the crisis with Spain"
This most ridiculous praise of a
| third-rate lawyer suddenly elevated to
a position UNNECESSARILY too big for
| him needs no characterization. 1t is
irresponsible gush of a sycophantic
| organ.
Secretary Day has shown himself to
and his colleagues chief diplomatic"
labor on the Beace Commission was
simply to stick to the text of the de-
mands as made by Washington. In
deed, the American Commissioners, to
all intents and purposes, as has been
repeatedly stated on the floor of the
Senate. might have been mere messen-
gers or hotel walters or they might
have been eliminated entirely and ne
gotiations carried on direct with Wash
ington, for that is precisely what it
I a Il ai.v,aff tod
its demands and these were presented to
the Spaniards to whose pleas and ar
guments the American Commissioners
simply turned a deaf ear. That's all
there was to 1.-The rare diplomatic quail
tiles" the organ says Mr.. Day exhibited
and which it alleges won the admira-
ton and respect of the foreign repre-
sentatives," ETC.!
Another touch of genius on Squire
Days part in this connection, which,
| by the way the organ is careful not to
mention, was his effort to blk the treas
ury out of 100000 fee for his ser
vices on the Peace Commission. Pub
licity defeated that scandalous grab.
But, although Mr.. Day got but a 1.-THE
of that enormous sum, he still got
about ten times as much as his services
were worth.
The fact that he has now been pro-
vided for life in a cosy and lucrative
judgeship is simply another instance
showing that Mr.. Mckinley never for
gets to reward his friends and favorites,
good bad and Indifferent.
The President did not want an extra
session of Congress because he has
less to expect from the new Congress
in the way of support for his imperial
policy than of the present body, the
new House having about forty less
| Republican majority than the present
| House And by that same token, in
! the present ticklish emergency when
sound American conservatism is most
! needed, the people would feel much
safer with the new Congress in session.

Direct Legislation,

New Era Standard, K%earney, Neb.:
Direct legislation is the only salvation
Of the people from the grasping power
Of corporations in the direction Of our
government. Direct legislation re-
moves the middle man between the
voter and his desire into law. A ma
jority expression on the adoption Of
new law is thus known prior to adop-
ton. BY direct legislation we a die
tate the laws, while under the present
system OF elections the middle men
state senators and representatives
follow their own dictates in voting for
or against enactment Of law. A ma
jority vote Is required to elect a candi-
date for Office. Why should not q ma
jority vote designate any particular law
for enactment? Why should the peo-
pie be taxed outrageously high for alb
solute necessaries Of life, when less
money paid into a city treasury gives
the taxpayers just as good gas, water,
telegraph, telephone, electric light or
railroad service? The people are tie
government. The franchises they in
their blindness have voted away they
should absolutely own, and can, there
fore, operate them in their inter-
ests. If the people will only get to-
gether or direct legislation they "an
easily wipe trustism and corporate
monopoly out OF existence. No one man,
no corporation, no trust, can long ex-
list if a majority OF the people amic-
ably get together and assert their
rights as regards direct legislation.

The Wall Street News, May II. re-

as not likely to suffer because Of short
crops in Nebraska, say in defense of
its position: The cost of producing a
bushel Of corn in Nebraska is 10.7c.;
oats. 1890; wheat on car exclusive
of ground rent) tic. a bushel." You
see these Wall street fellows know
more about the cost Of farming than
the farmers themselves, and they know
how to arrange the railroad and ele-
vator charges so as to leave the farm
er just enough to keep him from ac-
tually starving SO he can produce more
slave products next year, says the APP
peal to Reason. These figures show
that they do not intend to allow the
farmers anything for the capital in
vested in farming, but the capitalists
get interest on all their capital. 1t IL
an easy thing to farm the farmers.

Civilizations Weak Spots.

A Polish laborer in Honolulu writes
to a socialist paper in Austrian Poland
describing how he and forty Others fell
into the legal slavery-sanctioned by
the U. S. senate-of the Sandwich Is
land labor laws. The German agents
at Bremen, he said, sold them to the
Austrian consul at Honolulu. When
they proved unable to do the work they
were imprisoned. On the plantations
they were starved, housed with the
horses, beaten and driven back to work
by dogs. The men beg to be rescued
London Clarion.
Lawrence, Kan, has just been touch
ed lightly on the fifth rib again by the
trust. They had a horse collar factory
there. The trust offered to buy the
n out, but being an e~nterprising
gentleman who still believed in COM
petition he refused to sell. He pro-
posed to do business in spite OF the
trust. He would show them a few
tricks with holes in them, so he would.
And in the midst of his defiance the
trust gently but firmly laid him down
upon his back. In other words, after
the gent refused to sell to the trust,
he could buy no more material to make
horse collars. So he had to close up,
and didn't get a cent.
The National Harness Review of Chi
cago, May 10, says that a large traffic
has grown up in England in tanning
human skins for belts, card cases, etc,
and is obtained from the unclaimed
bodies of the poor. Here is an open
ing for the American capitalists. Many
people suffering from an abundance of
prosperity produced by competition
might get a few pennies by selling their
hides. And We live in the most civil
lied epoch of the worlds history!
Perhaps the reason why Aguinaldo

PROTECTING THE MAYFLowER.


The Connecticut Legislature Takes StepA
to Prevent Its Extermina tlon.
A novelty in the way OF legislation
is a bill passed by the legislature OF
Connecticut for the protection OF q
wild flower, namely, the trailing ar
butus or mayflower, says the Balti-
more Sun. This flower grows with q
short stem and in the woods where the
soil is loose. 1t comes out OF the
ground easily and to save the trouble
Of plucking the blossoms persons care
lessly and recklessly pull up the roots
and SO destroy the plant. In this way
it is said to be nearly extinct in the
state. To prevent this destruction lie
the design of the Connecticut law. Mas
sachusetts is interested In the MISTER
and 1t Is believed a similar law will
be enacted in that state. The arbutus
Is n Of the most beautiful and fra
grant of all American wild flowers,
and 1t is the more highly esteemed be-
it is one Of the first harbingers
Of spring-following closely upon the
disappearance Of the snow. Here in
Maryland 1t is found in the woodlands
in almost every county from the noun
tains to the sea. 1t is eagerly sought
for among the dead leaves in the early
spring, and it ia to be hoped that those
who love 1t will see that only the
blossoms are plucked and the plant
and its roots are allowed to remain in
the ground to furnish fragrant fow.
ers for another year.

over it knew that large bodies of
troops would be required to preserve
order in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines, yet the law compelled a
reduction of the army. Subsequently
the outbreak of the Filipinos added to
the gravity of the situation. The plan
adopted was to muster out the volun-
teers gradually, and depend in future
solely upon the regular army, which
the military authorities proposed to
Congress to have permanently in
creased to 100, 900 NTH.
To this there was srong opposition,
but what was known, as the, Hull re-
organization bill wa passed by the
house in the last days Of January.
Although it was called the Hull reor-
ganization bill it carried no changes
of moment in the organization of the
army. 1t simply provided for its per-
manent increase to 9S,763 officers and
enlisted men, for an increase of three
major generals and six brigadiers, five
regiments of infantry and two of cav
airy, and for "a corps of artillery

Origin of the Word News,

It is popular to say that the woro
news" is derived from the initial let
tiers of tho four points Of the compass,
arranged in a device in the form Of a
cross, and placed at the top of some
of the earliest new sheets to indicate
that their contents were derived from
all quarters, but it is easy to show that
this is purely fanciful. The earliest
English newspaper dates from 1862.
yet we find the wor news" exactly
in its modern sense in Shakespeare,
who died fifty years earlier-namely,
in 1916. Thus we have in Macbeth
How now? What news?" In "Win-
ter's Tale" But let times news be
brought" In King John,' Even at
that news he dies" This list, which
might be much prolonged, effectually
disposes Of the popular theory.
