Why Is This Thus.

Editor Bee:- In behalf of suffering
public | wish to enter Il protest against
the way the Great Northern Passenger
dept. is conducted. 1t has always been
my idea that a passenger depot waiting
room was a place for patrons Of the road
to wait for the coming of the train; but
in kalispell it seems to be merely. the
entrance to the ticket Office, the doors Of
which are only opened few minutes be
fore the coming of each train, to give
the agent chance to gather in the
shekels that is all they want; the com
fort Of their patrons is thing not to be
considered as long as they are sure of
their money, regardless of whether they
provide for their comfort or not. More
than one night | have seen women and
children forced to stand outsides of the
depot, on cold nights, waiting for trains
that were late through no fault of theirs.
Now, who is responsible for this condi-
ton of things? Is it jim Hill, the local
agent, the baggage master, or is it the
gentlemanly porter of color, who carries
the KEYS? VIII some of the local depot
force please answer my query:
Respectfully, HARRY JONES.

REPUBLICAN ross1prLrrIns.

Things are not so serene in the repub.

of Mr.. McKlnley's foreign policy developed
in the Puerto Rican situation is not al
all pleasing to the rank and ale OF his
party II continued in office as the sue
cossful nominee Of the republicans for the
presidency, his course towards Puerto Rico
can not be relied upon to indicate what
the Administrations course towards the
Philippines win be. Hesitation, vacilla-

intent and purpose have characterized tho
presidents ever changing attitude Those
facts are not more obvious 10 democrats

kicked out OF the buggy; he was struck

Rev. A. p. scoheld, pastor of the Avenue
Baptist church, preached last night, TAX
ing for mis- ,heme The Preacher and
Politics" The congregation was large
and very attentive end numbered many OF
tho candidates in the present municipal
campaign. DR.. Scofleld took the position
that the preacher who looked after the
spiritual welfare of his congregation had
no time TO devote to active politics and
Influencing elections He said that ali
preachers should vote their honest coa-
vlctions and for clean men to represent
them. that he would cast his vote on
election day for those men whom he be-
lived to be best qualified and who would
make the best representatives OF the peo-
pie, He would not talk politics and II
no way would he try to influence anyone
in casting their votes He said as surely
as the preachers began taking an active
part in political campaigns the congrega-
tions would be divided and the strife OF
politics would enter into the church. That
there would be free silver Baptists. gold
standard Baptists, democratic, republican
end populist Baptists. and the church
would loose its influence in the field OF
labor for The salvation OF souls.

HOUSTON. TUESDAY. APRIL 3. iaoo.
TEN PAGES TODAY.
A MISERABLE ExPEDIENT.


In looking about for a possible solution
Of the Puerto Rican trouble that would
not positively shock the moral sense OF
the Nation our republican friends through
Mr.. Beveridge OF Indiana have hit upon
the remarkable expedlent OF proposing free
trade between Puerto Rico and the United
States with the provlso that the consttu-
tion do not extend to our island posses
sion.
This. OF course, sets the precedent for the
government of the Philippines and all
other territory to be hereafter acquired
by congress without reference TO the con
stitution as hitherto applied to territorial
management. And 1t was this that the adj
ministration throughout It's struggle over
the anal disposition OF the Puerto Rlcan
question has sought to pave the way for.
The Omaha World Herald in discussing
this effort to sidetrack the constitution
points out the dangers of leaving CON
gress to act independently of organic law
as follows:
II by merely stating In any resolution OF
law passed by congress that "the constitu'
ton does not apply 10 this" what assurance
have the people that the laws thus enacted
viii not be 10 their detriment? Yet that
is what our National lawmakers propose to
do. The Beyer,dge amendment TO the Puerto
Rlcan tariff bill declares that Il shall not bC
construed as extending the constitution oyer
the constitution Of the United States is moi
extended over Puerto Rico"
This would be amusing were 1t not iraught
with so much danger to our Institutions. The
idea that congress. the creature Of the con.
sttuton, can extend or limit the oonstitu
ton Is absurd. Suppose the Beverage ider
should prevail auG the supreme court shoulc
declare some pet law to be Unconstitutional
all that would be needed would be for con.
gress to re- endct the law and declare that "thC
the time comes that tho constitution of tht
United States may be suspended by con.
Rresslonal enactment Il will be time for The
formation OF another kind of government
The suggestions case made out by our
contemporary is a suggestive one. When
ever the Federal government shall relegate
TO congress the government OF our new
possessions Independent OF the constitution
the government must enter the field Of OK
pertinent without the guide OF fixed pur-
pose and In total abandonment OF funda-
mental principles which once sacrificed will
Introduce the dawn of the day that Il
persisted in VIII work the failure OF re-
publican institutions, The constitution is
more than the definition OF the rights OF
the citizen; more than pledge OF liberty
and protection OF property against confs
cation; more than guarantee OF freedom
OF religious opinion and free speech. 1t is
our code OF National morals and honor.
