A GOOD CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT.

The Astorian has been favored with
a cory of Senator Spooner's great
speech in the senate on the Puerto
Rican tariff. 1t should be read by
every voter who wants to understand
that question and vote intelligently
on it. If the democrats succeed in max
ing it an issue. Senator Spooner's
speech has been pronounced the
strongest argument made in all the
Puerto Rican discussion. 1t is in favor
of the contention that the constitution
does not cover any territory of the
United States unless especially extend
ed by statute. Every speech made
in opposition to this contention has
been based upon implied" powers of
the government under the constltu-
tion, but Senator Spooner took the
constitution itself and showed by cita-
tons from it and from. decisions of the
courts that the intention OF the franz
ers of the constitution was to differ
entiate between organized states and
mere territories belonging to the Unit
ed States. His argument was that the
constitution specifically and frequent
ly referred to states and only once
mentioned territory" and that was
in Article l. Section 3. Clause :, where
the constitution said:
The congress shall have power to
dispose Of and make all needful rules
and regulations respecting the terri
tory or other property belonging to
the United States.''
Here the territory OF the United
States is classed with property and
with property belonging to the United
States" and the authority is given to
NASpOeS VI lhdt pIopeIly II II De
property belonging to the United
States it can be sold or otherwise dis
posed Of but there is absolutely no
authority to dispose of states. They
are an integral part Of the United
States; territories are not. There
seems to be absolutely no getting
around that argument, and the atti-
tude Of senators on both sides of the
chamber when 1t was being made by |
the learned senator from Wisconsin
must have been deeply impressed with
its forcefulness.
Senator Spooner showed how old
this constitutional question was, that

1903 at the time of the Louisiana pur-
chase. and had been revived to sup

II will cost the man who goes TO
Kansas City to attend the democratic
national convention Just $50 to stop
at a strictly hrst-class hotel. This
will include meals and the privilege
of bath. Four TO six persons will
occupy each room, each paving $50.
This is on the basis of s. day per
man, American plan, with q minimum
limit of four days. This rate applies
to the Baltimore, Midland and Coates,
which charge 81 to s. day, Ameri-
can plan, regularly. These have not
raised their rate, except in the way
of putting five persons in a room and
fixing a four day limit. The Savoy,
the Blossom, the Centropolis and sIv-
eral other hotels whose regular ratC
with one person in a room is 81 10
81. 80 per day, will charge Sl2 for the
convention. The Victoria hotel has
refused to make rates. This flat rate
of $50 for the convention at the high
est class houses and $l2 at the others
has the Endorsement of the local en-
tertainment committee. All the hO-
tells tried to put in the $50 rates, but
the local com mittee insisted on the
SIP rate from all but the three leading
hotels. Four-iifths OF the persons who
attend the convention will have rooms
in private houses, paying from 30
cents to 1925 a day for first-class
rooms with bath. The local enter
tainment committee has already over
800 rooms listed and a systematic
canvass is in progress for more. The
committee will have full charge of
these rooms, will inspect them and
assign them. There will be plenty of
such rooms for any possible crowd at
the rates mentioned.

HOW OFTEN

We hear ladies say 20! | have ne
time to do my own sewing" We
wish to say to these ladies that by the
use of the Diamond Garment Cutter
System, they can cut and haste and
fit a dress in the same time it takes to
hunt some one else to do the work,
besides getting a much better and
easier fitting garment than can pos
sibly be made with any of the old
fashioned models or chart systems.
How many advantages to be de-
rived from a knowledge of this sys-
tenn and the satisfaction of knowing
that the dress question is settled for
ever.
BY the use of the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter any lady can fit any
kind or style of garment without any
trouble or worry.
No refitting, no rebasting, no trying
on half a dozen times, but ninety
nine times in a hundred aperfect
success.
No special talent is required for our
methods more than is required to
learn the multiplication table and
any one who can read and write can
learn the Diamond Garment Gutter.
We employ special instructors out
side of the class rooms, who will call
at your residence and fully explain to
you this system of garment cutting
and fitting. This is one of our meth
DDS of advertising and it does not
matter whether you wish to take the
class instruction or not the eXplana-
ton will interest any lady who de-
sires perfect fitting garments.

Where the Danger Is

Germany and Great Britain have
each long BIZ d an eve on South America:
That rich and only partially explored
country has seemed to them even
better pie to cut up than that IN ASIA
or in Africa. Heretofore the Monroe
doctrine declared and maintained oy
the United States has presented bar
TO the extension of European soVer-
eighty on American soil, but now the
administration has placed itself i'll
such a position as TO make the Mon
roe doctrine a mockery. Such doc
trine Is, of course, imperative unless
sustained by the eXistence oil force
sufficient at least to make any attempt
to violate the doctrine dangerous and
costly.
The administration has by its east
ern policy weakened our force in lien
and ships, and it has by it's policy
toward Porto Rico made enemies
rather than friends Of the kindred
states of South America. Germany
is said 10 have designs upon slice OF
Brazil. Suppose she asserts such a
claim? Considering our attitude in
the east and our weakness at home
we could only protest and not resist.
OF course our protests would be
laughed at. and few German war
ships cruising around among the
Philippines would be a warning TO
keep our hands off.
