CURRENT COMMENT.

A member OF the Wisconsin legislature
makes a bid for immortality by the in
PRODUCTION OF bill to prohibit tight lac
ing. He is evidently a believer in the
expansion policy.-The Outburst.
When the American revolution ended
the men who won it disbanded with very
little cash in their pockets. In Cuba the
question Of disbandoument seems to
hinge on the amount OF money to be dis
tributed.-St. Louis Globe-DemoCrat.
All signs seem to indicate that in q
few years more the United States will
again engage largely in ocean transpor-
tatIon. The most important condition
which will enable US TO do this is the
fact that we now produce steel 30 cheaply
that we can compete with foreign ship
builders in making steamships.-Spo-
kane Chronicle.
The type Of humanity OF which Agui-
naldo is a sample-quick witted and
cunning, but weak and bonn bastic-needs
the protection OF strong government.
Only under the firm control OF a power
able TO enforce order and compel sub
mission, can there be any liberty or in
dependence in the Philippines.-Pitts-
burg Chronicle.
And now they are pointing out Sena-
tor Mason's mistake" Whenever Sena-
tor SiasOn makes mistake that requires
attention in the trust newspapers all
that is necessary is to turn back page
or two and you will 6n6 that he has as
sumed an independent attitude in rela-
ton to some question in which the trust
press is very deeply interested Chicago
Inter Ocean.
Alger had hot time in the old town
OF Boston the other night. As he rode
along in the grand pageant Of the Nc.
Kinley parade, the citizens greeted him
with q new college yell. 1t was q eu-
phoDeous sort Of yell and given with
such force that it made the windows
rattle. Here tits: yah, yah, yah beef,
beef" At other points he was greeted
with: Three cheers for General Miles. "
There was hot time in the old town
that night -Nebrasks Independent.
It will be the fervent hope OF every
thoughtful American that 10 serious
troubles may arise between the United
States and Germany. War between
these countries would be terrible and
tragic business. Their people are friends,
and war is not wanted. An armed con-
fiict would be particIarly distressing by
reason that several million American
citizens came from the German father
land or were born Of German parents.
And while their devotion 70 our flag will
not be questioned, they would deplore a
war which would carry themselves and
their sons into armed conflict With the
German legions.-SPOkesman- Review.

The state wagon road bill. appropri-

state. The people OF north Idaho will
continue to travel around through two
other states to get down to the state cap
ital.-Kootenai Herald.
Uncle Sam has ordered his Philippine
police to arrest one Aguinaldo for patri-
otism, failure to understand McKinley's
expansion policy and other disorderly
conduct. Uncle Sam used to indulge in
q few such deviltries himself in his
young days but having sown his wild oats
he is not prepared to tolerate any such
nuisances on the part OF the new gener-
alton OF kids.-Weiser Signal.
The promotion OF Major James Ora

was received that Governor Stunenberg
had recognized two OF the Kootenai
county volunteers who are now at Ma
nila.-Silver Blade.
The report OF the experts appointed
to 60 over the text book accounts shows
how necessary it is 10 make ample pro-
vision for competent clerical assistance
in the Office OF the state superintendent.
The keeping ofsuch accounts is only one
item OF the work to be done. and the
office should have clerk capable II tax
ing care OF all the routine work, since
the superintendent must be away from
the Office 90 much OF the time. There
must certainly be in the legislature a
large number OF members opposed to
tying the hands of the superintendent
who will learn what is needed for the
Office and set that it is provided.-IdAho
Statesman.

a SNARE AND A pELusloN.

No trner words were ever ut.erered
against the destructive and un-American
colonial policy adopted by this govern,
ment than the following from the pen OF
James r. Sovereign:
1--WE charge the leaders of our new
colonial policy with the deliberate in
tention OF overthrowing free government
In America. They are travelling in a
hard beaten path trod by every free ma
tion since time immemorial that wan
dered away from the principles Of its
own glory and greatness to conquer for
conquest the far-of nations Of the earth.
This cry for civilization is a snare and q
delusion. Civilization and war are op-
posite terms. A bull can not be tanned
with red flag nor man civilized with
bullet. War begets madness and mad.
ness never civilized anybody. Civilixa-
tion depends on our ability to satisfy
through industry and frugality our
normal wants and live in peace and
tranquility with those around US. The
martialing Of armies, the struggle for
conquest, the clamor for imperialism,
and the consequent fields of carnage and
desolation are not conductive Of civiliza.
tion. The war in the Philippines will
not civilize the Filipinos nor advance
civilization in our own country. 1t is
teaching our own people to disreapect
the principles Of independence and lib
erty which is the right Of every nation
TO enjoy and upon which depends the
civilization Of the world. The Philip
pines are further from civilization now
than they were six months ago and so
are the United States. Six months ago
the Filipinos were civilized enough to
send message Of peace and good will to
our shores. bearing the kind tokens OF
fraternity and love from his people to
ours, and our president was civilized
enough to put the sting OF criminal az
erosion into an attempt to forcibly
annex their country to this. Nov we
are in war of conquest and the Filipi
nos are returning to the brutality of bar
barians. After we conquer and subiu-
gate them they will have no more ciyili-
Eation in their hearts and We will have a
large standing army and an imperial
government instead OF q republic"

THE westward movement will be heavy
this spring. There is not a week goes by
that does not bring US letters Of inquiry
and requests for sample copies Of the
PRESS. These requests come from all
parts OF the country. Yet there are peo-
plea few OF them-who say the news-
paper does tnwn no good and consider
1t sort OF charitable institution which
the community is asked to support.
This is untrue and unjust, as every news
paper, no matter how poorly supported,
printed or edited, gives the community
in which it is published an hundred
fold more in benefits than it receives.

We fail to see where the imperialists
make point in referring to India as &
proof Of the success OF a colonial poIicy.
Let ne see what they have to be proud
Of: A recent government census shows
there are in India 8 ,s46. 759 girls between
the ages Of five and nine years who are
wives, many OF them mothers, and over
10000 who are widows. During the
plague epidemic, which is fresh in the
minds Of all, 100000 people died Of
starvation and disease and other millions
are now simply eking out miserable
existence Of poverty and hunger on the
munifieent sum Of eight or nine cents
day, or q handful OF rice. Their condi.
lion Is q hundred fold worse than was
that Of the southern slaves. and ehAtel
slavery was . Humanitarian institution
when compared TO the industrial slavery
Of India. These are Q few Of the COM
mon conditions In that country, yet it is
pointed out ~ q dc model for the United
states 10 follow In its Philippine col
snlss.

INSTEAD of employing the army to
shoot civilization into the Filipinos,
President Mckinley might use it to bet

evidence that some of our legislators are
in need Of the civilizing influence.

JOHNSON Of Indiana broke loose in the
