One Thing at a Time.
From the Savannah News.


On the Philippine question the great ma
jority of the people, We think, agree with
ex-senator Gray of Delaware, who was
quoted in our dispatches yesterday as say
ing that after we have established our au-
thorty in the islands it will be time
enough to talk of a government for them
He believes in doing one thing at time
1t is all well enough to discuss the quas-
ton of imperialism. 1t may be the purpose
of the leaders Of the republican party to
attempt to radically change the character
of our government, but it will not be pos
sible to get the people deeply interested in
the questions of Imperialism and miitar-
ism until the dignity and prestige of the
American name have been fully maintained
in the Philippines.
It is safe to say that the great majority
of the American people are against any
thing like Imperialism, and they don't want
the Filipinos oppressed. but they not
ready yet to discuss the kind Of govern
ment that should. be provided for them.
They will not be ready until we are in
position to give them the kind of a govern
ment we decide they ought to have We
believe that ex-senator Gray spoke the
sentiments Of the great majority of the
people on the Philippine question In the in
terview from which we have quoted.

District Crack Shots Drowned Out
at Sea Girt.
An EARLY MORNING DOVHPoUR
Sun Came Out Later, but Wind

POOL SHOOTING TODAY


Special From STAFF Correspondent.
RIFLE RANGE. Sea Girt, NJ j., septem-
Der "A drenching downpour dampened
the enthusiasm material possessions and
persons Of the members of the District of
Columbia rifle teams about l o'clock this
morning. The rain was so heavy that no
difficulty was experienced by it in forcing a
way through the tents, which, by the way
have evidently seen long and hard service
Everybody was aroused, and rubber coats
and blankets hastily put in use. During
the remainder of the night there was very
little sleep for any one. With daylight
however. appeared the sun in all it's glory,
and In an hour or two things were dry and
comfortable. The day is perfect, the wind
however. being too strong to permit eff
fine work on the targets.
Captain Tomlinson. Lieutenant Summers
and Sergeant Dickey arrived this morning
from Washington During the day there
have been a large number of visitors
grouped along the firing lire. Many ladies
are in the party. All the shooting today
is in the individual matches and pool

Colorado and Expansion.
From the Denver Times.

Aside from the sentimental view OF the
question the Times wishes to consider .he
matter from a purely business aspect and
from a strictly Colorado standpoint. What
will Colorado benefit by American control
in the Philippines, which necessarily in
wolves American preponderance in the
Asiatic Pacific. The Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company. which gives employment
to more men than any other Colorado COM
pany or corporation. Is preparing to treble
its capacity for turning out steel and iron
products. The Times violates no conf
dence when 1t states that this decision to
enlarge its already immense plant to such
enormous proportions is one of the results
of the expansion Iolicy of the administra-
ton and the rapid strides in American
trade in China, Japan, Hawaii and the
Philippines during the past year as d.
rect result of the annexation of the mid
Pacific islands and the wrestling of the
Philippines from the control of Spain.
But it is not the steel and iron business
alone that will be the gamer. The mar
kets of the orient are being opened to
merce, and when we consider that there
piled with the products Of our brains and
our skill it will be seen how limitless is
the field and how important that We should
make sure our own position. The west
will be the most benefited by American
supremacy in the Asatic Pacific, and that
supremacy can be secured in no better and
more stable way than to hold onto what
the fortunes of war have thrown into our
hands.
These are things the people of this state
should ponder over.

SALE OF THE u. c. AND A.
PennsyIvania's Rumored Purchase
Confirmed by President Wilson.

BALTIMORE. September 4-President
John s. Wilson of the Baltimore, Chesa-
peake and Atlantic railroad has confirmed
the reported purchase of a controlling in
tefest Of that road by the Pennsylvania
railroad, which. together with its valuable
properties of rail and steamboat lines, be-
comes Immediately part of the Pennsyl-
Yania system. Information of the sale
came from Wilmington, Del, where.
through a banking house of that city on
Thursday last the deal was consummated.
The larger part of it's stock was owned
in New York. and Mr.. John E. Searles of
New York the largest individual hold

gave the purchasing railroad majority of
the stock and entire control.
President Wilson has just made the fol-
lowing statement concerning the deal:
President Wilson's Statement.
1.-The report of the sale of the Baltimore,
Chesapeake and Atlantic railroad to the
Pennsylvania railroad is correct. My be-
lief is that the late owners of the former
road reached a conclusion to sell rather
suddenly, and it probably stimulated
somewhat by the recent action of the Bal
timore appeal tax court in deciding to tax
the property Of the road.
THE late owners invested in the property
with the distinct and clear understanding
that it free from taxation for thirty
years. After expenses and fixed charges
were provided fer all the last excess for
the last four years has been invested In
improv emeEts. and therefore no dividends
have been paid.
Il think it is exceedingly fortunate that
the road has fallen into possession of the
Pennsylvania, a company everywhere
Known for its broad and liberal policy. /
co not anticipate any radical changes in
either mana cement or the policy of the
Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic unless
the present owners are subject to such ad-
ditional burdens as will make it necessary
to advance rates.
May Advance Rates.
Should this condition of things tran
spire. it would. in my opinion. be more loss
to the city of Baltimore than the amount
of taxes proposed to collect. even If they
could be collected after lawsuit.
Mr.. Wilson said that in all probability
the Pennsylvania control would not be
manifested until the next stockholders
meeting, which will not be held until early
in November. Then new board of direct
ors named by the present owners will mark
the change.

BRITISH SEAMEN ON STRIKE.
Ship Owners Refuse to Meet Men in
Conference.


Conference.
LONDON, September 4-The general
strike of seamen and steamer firemen,
which has been threatened for some time,
was declared today, the ship owners re-
fusing to accept the invitation of the Sea-
mems and Fremens Union for a confer
ence in regard to fixing the rate of wages
for firemen and sailors on steamers at to,
and for sailors sailing vessels of "a
monthly, a slight advance in the average
wages now paid at the various British
ports.
Reports as to the effect and thorough
ness of the movement have not yet been
received except from South Shields, where
1t Is stated 1000 men have gone out.
Many meetings have been held in the vi
cinity of Londonderry, the speakers ex-
pressing the determination of the men to
remain idle until their demands have been
granted. But traffic at this port has not
yet been affected
1t is not likely that the strike will be
completely organized for several days and
until then its extent will not be known or
its result keenly felt.

strike includes all the ports in the United

RICHMOND, Va, September 4.-United
States Marshal Trent, member of the re-
publican state committe that has just is
sued an address to the republican voters
of the state, says of the address that the
republican leaders recognize the hopeless
ness of making a fight against the odds
they confronted with; that they see
an omen of hope the Independent candi-
dates that are coming out for the incoming
legislature. He says that throughout the
state there is a widespread feeling against
the corrupt election methods that the demo-
cratic machine has inaugurated.
That there is a more liberal feeling exist
ing today in Virginia in politics than ever
heretofore known and demand from the
people for honest elections will be heard
in the next legislature that will command
attention.
The address just issued. while not man.
datory, reviews the situation and asks the
organizations Of the various counties and
cities of the state not to make any nominal
tions, but to support any candidate who
will support change in the present cleo
ton laws.

Honor the Volunteer.
From the St. Paul Dispatch

5t.
The volunteer soldier Is the one who
stands between the government and the
man who does not want to serve, obviating
the necessity for a draft. He is, there
fore, in a certain sense, a substitute for
those who might have been drafted had
necessity existed for a draft. Every man
who was qualified to serve and who did
not enlist may consequently feel that in
honoring the volunteer he is honoring his
own substitute. Too much cannot be done
in honor of the volunteer for 1t is honor Of
this kind that must be the spur to the
pride of the volunteer of the future.

Good Roads an Actual Benefit.

Good roads are of more than sentimental
benefit to community. The cost of haul
ing is reduced by every betterment of the
Highway. A level hard. dry road allows
same cost and thereby prevents waste.
That saving inures Indirectly but certainly
to the merchants with whom the farmer
deals. When travel is easy, inexpensive and
agreeable the farmer will come to town
oftener and he will seek the market that
is easiest to reach, other things being equal.

The second reason for municipal control
