He classes Japan among the great civ
ilized nations, when, as every school
boy knows, twenty-five years ago ia
pan was rated as half-civilized coun-
try, along with China and india The
experience of the great island empire
completely explodes Roosevelt's basic
idea, that an uncivilized state can only
be civilized by being conquered.
Then he speaks of our pleasant re-
lations with Mexico. There is coun-
try containing twelve millions Of peo-
Pile of whom it is safe to say three
fourths are utterly unfit for self-gov-
eminent according to Rooseveit's ideas.
Until within the last quarter of a CEN
tury the belief was almost universal in
Europe and America that the people of
Mexico as a whole were incapable of
maintaining a government worthy of
being recognized by civilized states But
they have gone on improving steadily
until no one questions either the sta
bility or the responsibility of the Mex
lean government. The same is true Of
the Central and South American states.
And during all the decades of their
inferiority and weakness the United
States stood watch and guard over
them saying to the great imperial
istic powers of Europe, Hands off!
These are our wards!" According 20
Rooseveltism and McKinleyism the
Monroe doctrine is all wrong-a clog
upon the wheels of civilization.

Medals and Meal Tickets.

N California they are stirred up by
the discovery that some of the med
ais presented to the returned volun-
teers of that state have found their way
into pawnshops. Some of the Califor-
MIA papers are accusing their soldiers
OF lack of patriotism. One OF them
says: THE incident shows that there
We're the customary black sheep in Cali
fornia's flock Of heroes" Viewed from
be drawn from the discovery is very diff
ferent from that. 1t would be better to
conclude that to the returned soldier,
meal ticket is more worthy of consid-
eratien than a medal.
Not that these soldiers do not appre-
ciate the medals; not that they are not
proud of the expressions of approval to
which they have listened since their
return; not that, as the California pa
per quoted above assumes, they are de-
ficient in patriotism-but that when
man has left his employment or his bus
mess, his home and his family, to up
hold the cause of his country, there is
Que " lllul wien ne returns something
more substantial than mere medals and
speeches of laudation. 1t is all right to
give him these. but his state should
not lose sight of him after these pre-
sensations have been made He will
want employment when he is rested,
and, while he is resting, he may want
something to eat. 1t is not unreasona-
BILE to assume that Montana's soldiers
enjoyed the lunches served them at Dill
lon more than they did the oratory
served at Butte.
Montana may learn a lesson from
the California incident. There were
never sent out from any state to fight
in any cause drawer or better men than
those that composed the Montana regi-
| ment. They richly deserved the medals
| and the kind words that they received.
| But medals will not take the place CT
| overcoats and kind words are poor Sub
stitutes for bread and butter Each is
| all right in its place, but now that it
| has bestowed the medals and spoken

help them to get started again in civil
life

From the PHILADELPHIA Inquirer.

FROM the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Arbitration is good thing, but the
scope of it's utility is not unlimited.
It has its restrictions, as has just been
rather impressively cxemplified both
abroad and at home. Some well-mean-
ing but inconsiderate people have late
ly been urging the president to proffer
the good offices of the United States
as a mediator between Great Britain
and the South African republic in or
der to terminate the conflict which has
unhappily been precipitated, and possi-
bly, some of them have been surprised
and are inclined to feel indignant that
their well-meant suggestion has not
been adopted.
President Kruger also. it will he re-
membered, asked for arbitration, and
there may be those who are under the
impression that England put herself in
the wrong by declining to accede - the
willy old Dutchman's request. Yet to
have done SO would have been to have
yielded the very point in contention.
1t is the British claim that the South
African republic is dependency OF
Great Britain's, and no one holds that
arbitration is applicable ITO the settle
ment of a dispute between a, sovereign
government and an organization sub
ject to it's jurisdiction.
Kruger, who is shrewd old chap and
a diplomatist of no mean ability, asked
for arbitration because he perfectly
understood that IL by any chance
Great Britain granted his request the
granting Of it would amount to a rec
ognition of the claim that the Beers
owe Great Britain no allegiance. On
the other hand, in the event of his re-

THERE ARE SOME LIMITS
TO THE SCOPE OF ARBITRATION

, quest for arbitration being refused, he
would appear to those imperfectly &C
quainted with the situation in a favor
able and the English in an unfavorabl Bile
light.
This country favors arbitration on
general principles. 1t was the earli-
est advocate OF the method of settling
International disputes and has time
and again attested by acts the SINGER
ity of its professions. But no one will
doubt that there are questions which
this country, much as 1T desires peace,
would not arbitrate. Suppose after
the Maine had been destroyed some
foreign government had suggested that
our controversy with Spain be submit
ted to arbitration. Should we have as
sented? Not a bit of it. t-.-
That is as certain as it Is certain that
if our quarrel with Spain had been
submitted to arbitration the decision
of any tribunal which would imagina-
bly, have been organized would have
gone against us. 1t would have gone
against us because our case against
Spain had no recognizable basis in in
ternational law. Our Intervention with
regard to Cuba was absolutely extra
legal, and 1t would undoubtedly have
been SO declared. And vet, if ever
there was a righteous war. a war I'M
dertaken on principle and conducted
for a moral and philanthropic object,
it was the recent war between the
United States and Spain.
No, arbitration has it's uses, and very
valuable uses they are, but it also has
it's limitations. 1t is far enough from
being the panacea which some i'm
practicable people imagine it.

Lining Tn With the Trusts.

From the Peoria Herald-Transcript
The republican party will stand by the
trusts in the campaign next year. The
principal administration papers are now
practically defending trusts. One of the
remedies for abolishing trusts, and with
out w.l4ch other remedies would be of no
avail is the abolition of high protective
tariff duties. This could not be enter
tanned for a moment by any Mckinley
man. The idea of having Mckinley and
high tariff separated is cruel in the ex-
IRENE. One is necessity of the other.

Voting by Machinery.

Ffom the lnd1anapoIiS News.
There are no defective ballots in voting
by machinery. There are no protested
ballots. There are no ballots spoiled by
ignorance or intention. No questions can
arise as to whether i vote is to be count
ed or not. No vote can be changed. No
fraud is possible, either on the part OF
the voter or the election of officers. No
delay Is possible. The whole process is
much more economical. The precincts
can be large. the election officers fewer.
Time and money are saved. and doubt and
suspicion, ever a legacy of voting by the
present methods, are ended in voting by
machinery.
