Atlanta Constitution.
SOCIALISM IN HIGH PLACES. One OF
the saddest signs Of the times is the man
ner in which the wealthy people of this
country are giving vitality to the conten-
lions OF socialists and by their actions
proving that this disintegrahng creed Is
not confined to the INDECENT masses.
Two very notable illustrations of this
assertion are found in the instances of the
Bradley Martins of New York and Will
lam Waldorf Aston, who claims London as
his residence. The Bradley Martins have
gone to the extreme limit. They have APP
peared before the tax commissioners of
New York and fully and formally for
sworn allegiance 10 the United States and
expressed their intention on an affidavit
never TO return to the shores OF TINS
country. They give as reason lor TINS
radical desertion OF mother land that the
society in which they circulate In Amer
lea is MOI Inc equal Of that with which they
affiliate In London. more potent cause
and one which is generally accepted as the
true motive, Is that the tax rates nave
been raised in New York. and mat tnis
family Of mlliOuaires, rather than as
gorge a portion of It's wealth, chose to Tor
sake the land of their birth and to spend
their fortunes in country whose laws
are not SO rigidly enforced, and where
there is a queen and gilded aristocracy
to which to toady and with whom to pass
the remainder OF their days.
Mr.. Astor's offense is scarcely less grave
He has represented to the tax commits
sion OF New York that he is now sub
ject of II foreign country and as such,
exempt from taxation. His reasons for
this course are plainly manifest, He owns
an immense amount OF property in the
United States, and while he wishes to re-
tain the protection Of the government he
desires to avoid the inconvenlent and al
together unnecessary expense of paying for
this protection. lie came all the way from
London to impress the fact of his alien
citizenship on the tax commission but
the gentlemen of The latter who CHANGED
~ be sturdy Americans, saw through the
gauze in a moment aud told him fatty
that he must either forswear allegiance
TO the United States or meet his tax bills
and pay for the privilege of protection.
What are we to expect from the less
educated and less affluent of our people
when those who are supposed to typify
the cream of patriotism and the bulwarks
of capital act in this selfish and unreason-
ing manner? TO put a straight question:
does not their attitude toward the Nation
under whose sheltering wing they attained
their great names and colossal fortunes
bear truth to the assertions of the social
lists and furnish the latter with fuel with
which TO scatter the flames of discomfort
and active mischief? And the question
that next presents itself as hardly less
serious than its predecessor is, what ef-
feet Will such course exert on the mind
and opinions of our brethren across the

Stay In Texas.

There is a growing disposition on the
part of the young men In some sections
of the country to go to Cuba and Porto
Rico, and even the Philippines to seek
fortunes. This is not an intelligent move
ment. No place on earth offers to the
young man greater possibilities than does
Texas. Ono year in Texas is worth a
dozen in any OF those countries, where the
demoralizing race problems and business
conditions are anything but promising

The expected has happened IN Arkansas.
where the supreme court of the State has
sustained the recent daclson of the circuit
court at Little Rock. in holding imperative
the extra territorial feature OF the anti
trust law. In going too far lawmakers make
as great mistake sometimes as in not going
fsr enough. The Post failed to see the neces-
slty for such a provision in the FIRST place
and questioned the States authority to pun
ish man In Arkansas, by denying him civil
rights, for doing something in California or
South Carolina. for example, that was not
even prohibited Ia those States and that had
no reference to Arkansas Whatever. The anti
trust law recently enacted in this State con-
tains similar provisions, and when the law
goes into effect this peculiar feature will have
to run the gauntlet of our courts. The de-
cison in Arkansas, of course does not settle
the question generally. but 1t is an -soportan,
precedent.

GENEROUS GERMAN BORN C1Tl-
zENs.-LTwo new benevolent institutions,
built by citizens OF German birth. have
Just been opened in one day. One is the
German hospital in Williamsburg and the
other the Fritz Reuter- Home for. the Aged
at Union Hill, N. ].
These are two little items Of news APP
bearing together under modest headlines
in one days paper, and yet they mean
Kindness and comfort to hundreds Of needy
people for years, decades, and perhaps
centuries to come.
Such incidents help to explain why She
German element is considered such
valuable contribution to our population.
German born citizens are always doing
this kind of work. They look generously
after their own poor and have money and
good will left for the suffering of other
races. There Is no danger of our having
too many Of them.

Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE LIMITS OF DUTY.--A contributor
20 our Mail Pouch exposes very thoroughly
the absurdity of the talk about the inn
portance of Manila as "a commercial
base" for our trade with Asia. At the
close he asks the Dispatch to "a little
more frequently show up the misrepre-
sensations and humbugs which the organs
Of that party are constantly perpetrating.
We are not certain that we can comply
with the request. The Dispatch will try
to do Its duty in uncoverng fraud and
humbug wherever it exists. For instance,
1t has dealt with this especial Invention
more than once. II has pointed out what
every one knows that if an American firm
tried to sell goods in Yokohama. Hong
Kong, Shanghai Singapore, Calcutta or
Bombay, by shipping the goods first to
Manila, unloading them there and then
r2loadng them for the real markets. that
hrm would speedily wind up its career in
the bankrupt courts. Those ports are the
chief markets Of over 100000, 600 of the
IQ0OO0,OoO Asatic population. Every one
knows--even the impcralist editors who
nave got up this fable-that the way to
sell goods in any of those markets is to
shin the goods there directly. Manila can
be the commercial base for only the Phil
ipplne islands and possibly, though not
probably, Borneo, two markets which up
10 date nave not bought 100000 worth of
United states products In any one wear.
But after these inventions have been
exposed once or twice, the duty is per-
formed. The fundamental dishonesty
Which inspires this propaganda is shown
