Among the many systems which have
been proposed for the construction of n
single rail railroad. there Is one which
has been so far realized that 1t is TO-

way TO be completed. About half the
system was In working order some
twelve months ago. and the whole line,
which covers a total length Of SO miles,
will be opened to the public during the
present year.

MEANING OF IMPERIALISM.


If definitions in the dictionaries will
not aid much the platform adopted at
Kansas City may. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Bryan had something to say
about the construction of the plat
form. We may presume, therefore,
that Mr. Bryan means about what the
platform means by the word imperial
ISM" The second paragraph of the
platform reads:
I'VE declare again that all governments
instituted among men derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed;
that any government not based on the
consent of the governed is a tyranny, and
that to impose upon any people a gov
methods of Imperialism for those of a
republic"
This declaration seems to convey a
of the platform mean by imperial
ISM and we may safely assume that
what they mean Mr.. Bryan means.
The idea is more fully conveyed, per-
haps, by the words quoted than it
would be by formal definition.
Essentially, imperialism is arbitrary
power exercised over a people without
their consent. It is the power that the
British government asserts in many
places, though in general it exercises
the power with such moderation that
the people over whom it is asserted are
practically self-governing. At bottom
it is a fat denial of the right of self
government.
It is entirely immaterial whether the
power to govern without the consent

Booker Washingtop's address before
the National Teachers association at

He made strong and convincing plea
on behalf of the colored people for
fair play. One point made by Mr..
Washington was the injustice of judg-

the colored people by the least worthy
representatives. They ought to be
