ENGLAND'S SELFISHNESS.
TSDrlnpfield Repuhlicnp

Englands attitude toward this coun-
ny Ill every crisis i'll our history has
been purely selfish one. 1t is literally
true that when we were small and
weak she wished to crush us; when we
were in civil war she wished for orr
destruction; and now that we are i'm
mensely strong and united she artrullv
courts our friendship and aid. Eng
iahds course during the past year has
peen as thoroughly selfish as it was
curing our struggle for national unitv
~ suits her ambitions exactly to have
me republic involved in difficult Asia
TIC affairs, because America, through
rack OF sea power. will have to depend
lor some time upon Englands moral
support TO maintain her oriental posi-
tioh. ana that support. 1t is calculated
must be paid for I'm American supnort
OF English plans in China. Every bat
tie we fight in the Philippines. every
naive mat we slaughter. is grain for
EnSland's hopper. And in all this heat
OF encouragement to American designs
the English statesman and the English
editor care no more for the welfare Of
the united States than for the number
ol PACK men that were exterminated
IN British Uganda last year.
NO one can blame England for CO
fervently egging us on in the paths n
oriental empire. Her policy is consis-
tehtly selfish. Her entire empire has
oeen quilt up on selishness. Every en-
tension of territory in her case has had
the material rather than the humani
slrIah reason dominant. Americans
however should understand the sItuo'
tion and not be deceived by the atti-
tude Great Britain has assumed. Thai
country is still the old England at
heart, and in case her interests and
ours happen in the future to follow di.
verse lines. you will see how soon this
newborn love of America viii d,sa
pear in the hurry to protect the inta.
ests OF the British realm.

CORRUPT INFLUENCES.

Legislative bodies from municipal
councils 10 the national Congress. have
been controlled by corrupt influences
LEGISLATION has consequently been in
the interest of the corrupt few and
against The interest OF the voiceless
masses.
Under this system the people are
-a+sfiitneA-4-ed- an all matters of legisla-
ton. They are allowed to vote for men
but are denied the right to vote for
measures. The people are governed by
laws which they did not enact and can
not repeal
AS n result of this system great
abuses have arisen and politics has
become IL synonym for corruption.

Parasanship and the Trusts.

Republican organs are whistling to
keep up their courage.
Realizing that the trust is an over
shadowing issue. acknowledging that
something must be done to stop the
progress of the concentration of capt
tai and its abuse by the few to the
hurt of the many they try to caiole the
people by telling them that the Re-
publican platform will contain ''ring-
ing declaration" on the subject.
What will that profit them? 1t is
notorious that the most influential Re-
publicans, the men who shape the
policy of the party. are themselves
chief promoters Of this menacing move
ment. How will ringing platform
declaration serve them? 1t will only
emphasize their insincerity.
The truth is. however. that this
question is not partisan issue-as yet.
Both parties have been inert and unln-
telligent. The future is undoubtedly
with that party which not only de-
nounces the wrong, but offers a sane
and wholesome remedy. And more
than that, it must be a party whose
leaders show by their lives that they
mean what they say,-St. Louis P-D.
