An imperialist contemporary printed
in New York called attention to the
fact that more men are enlisting in the
new regiments from the states where
the anti-imperialism sentiment is
strongest The Herald took occasion
to laud the men of these western states
where 90 per cent of the volunteers
were opposed to forcible expansion;
they represent the idea of a republic;
they are the citizen soldiery, the main
stay of a country like this; while irr.-
perialism means a large standing army
with all the perils and expense of mill
tarism, and with a tendency to replace
the fighting man of the republic with
the Indifferent machine of the empire.
A local snarler who has lived through
three and probably four wars and
never took part in any except, posi-
bly,, with lungs and legs. resents this
and wants list of the names printed
of those who believe in the republic
and fight while others howl for more
war. The muster rolls of the Utah
artillery, of the Idaho and Wyoming
companies have already been printed
several times. They will suffice

of France. But NJ. Sardou's pieces,
whether comic. like the "Pattes de
Mouche" {known in English as the
Scrap of Paper''l, or serious like Fee
DORA" depend on plot alone, on the in
genuity with which the story is con-
trived and continued, on the surpass-
ing cleverness with which the incidents
are devised and manipulated. AS a re-
suit the name of M. Sardou is frequent
ly on the playbills of American the
aires where the name of Angler. is
never seen. Rarely does a year pass
in which half a dozen of M. Sardou's
best known plays are not performed
in every one of the larger cities of the
United States. "a Scrap of Paper
Fedora La Tosca," Diplomacy
"Divorcons,' Mime. Sans ene''-thes
are familiar to every habitual play
goer. 4
So clearly is NJ. Sardou's position
recognized as the most popular of
French playwrfghts that twice heelhas
been induced by English speaking per-
formers to write plays to be produced
in English before they were acted in
French. Years ago M. Sardou wrote
for Miss Agnes Ethel the Father empty
and mechanical play which she called
agnes" and which she filed with the
potent charm of her own personality !
and now, only a few months ago. he
prepared for Sir. Henry Irving his
torical drama called "Robespierre, ;.
produced very successfully at the Lon
don Lyceum theatre this last spring.
1t is to be noted that when M. Sardou
produced Miss EthePs play in Paris

TAKE THEM AWAY.

At least one imperialist is beginning
to justify the alarm expressed by the
Latin republics of America. he says
that the people OF Central America are
totally unfit for self government. Eu-
ropean imperialists have said so for a
great many years. Most Americans
who believe in the traditions and take
pride in the example of the United
States government have taken the po-
sition that the Central American states
and the South American nations were
infinitely better off trying TO pattern
after this republic than they We're UNI
der the rule OF kings and queens.
Still, this conquistador of the new
Republicanism which sets up monied
aristocracy. and teachers the morality
of brute force in conventions. indus
trial combinations, elections and be-
nevolent assimilation has said that no
citizen of the United States can spend
two weeks in Central America and fail
to be converted to the doctrine of for
chile expansion.
If this means anything it means that
the United States owes it to the people
OF the Spanish-American republics to
take possession of them in the name Of
Mark Hanna and rule them with the
scepter of our William the Conquerer.
And yet. we feel satisfied that this
same advocate of forcible expansion
will admit that the people of these
countries are unfit for citizenship and
that the climatic influences which sur
round them have had degenerating
effect upon the Europeans who settled
those countries.
And this recalls Lineoin's words in
the days of the Mexican war, when he
was told that the constant defeat of the
Mexican army had shaken the conf
dence of the people in their institutions.
and had so demoralized the country
that the Mexicans were no longer fit
for self-government Il am opposed"
he said. ITO any policy that viii leave
on our hands country with popu-
iafion unsuited TO our form of govern
ment and unfit to become states in our
Union.
Instead Of making imperialists of
