Young Men are Interested.

STATES VIII ueCloe the approach
ing struggle for control of the
national government and as it
is interesting to Sobserve the
attitude of the two great polit.
ical parties toward the youth of
the nation.
The Republican party says,
in effect, to the young men of
the country that the natural
and inevitable development of
the trust system is narrowing
opportunity at home; that to at.
tempt to cramp ,or prevent the
growth Of trusts would be un.
scientific and hopeless, but that
there is boundless opportunity
for young men in the Philip.
pines and in China, and that an
American colonial system will
furnish an outlet for the energy
and ambition which seek in vain
for a field on the American con.
tinent.
The Democratic party says
to the young smen of America
that there is room enough for
them on their own soil and that
when industrial, financial or
commercial developments tend
to lesson or destroy opportuni.
ty it is the duty of the govern.
ment to intervene and reopen
the channels of .competition,
which human greed is closing.
One is policy stained with
the crimes and damned with 1.-THE
failures of European civiliza
ton. The other is an American
policy.
Mr.. Hanna seems to be con.
virced that the imagination of
the young men in the United
states has qeen fired by visions
of empire in the far east; that
they are tird of the platitudes
of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and the provincialism of
the Monroe Doctrine, and that
they are will enthusiastically
support "a policy of conquest
and adventure. But he says
nothing about the wholesale
butcheries of half armed Asiat-
ic peoples, of the burning of
cities, the laying waste of
prosperous agricultural coun-
tries, the plunderipg of exor.
ton, the violation of innocent
women and hundred other
crimes which have attended the
extension of European power
in Asia.
The question which confronts
the young man in America to.
day is this: Isuthe American
continent exhausted and must
Americans look elsewhere for
opportunities? IF not, how are
opportunities to be found at
home'
It is true tnat the govern
ment has noEright to interfere
with the trusts? The Severn
ment interferes with a man who
drives his horse too fast in Qthe
streets. Why? 1t is his own
horse.
The interference of ;the gov
eminent is justified by old
fashioned idea that one mans
rights ends wheIe another
mans rights begin, that one
mans property mustBnot mean
everybody elsesTpoverto. This
is the basis of the appeal of the
Democracy to the young men.

Hark Listen.

Hark, listen, who would a
thought it? In speech at Can
ton, Ohio and in the presence of
President Mckinley, Secretary
of War Root, in regard to the
Philippines SAID: ITO govern
as despot would be fatal to
the character of a Republic
Mr.. Root failed to take into
consideration the fact that when
one nation or one people is gov
erned by another nation or peo-
pie that government must of
necessity be Despotic.
Again he says; Il will not
say that the men (Democrats)
who are encouraging the Fill
pino soldiers are traitors to
their country" II do not think
they know what it is they do"
D. Even the Secretary of War of
the U. S. A. does not dare after
the implied promise. made the
Filipino leaders before the bat.
tie of Manila to charge men
who sympathize with a people
who have been betrayed by the
Administration and are still
figting for Liberty with being
traitors. The last quotation is
a farce because he knows that
those men do know and are in
earnest about the matter.
To eat and sleep is not life.
1t is the existence OF a COW,
horse or mule. To live man
must not only eat and drink and
sleep but through the mind,
think, through the heart have
stable affections that anchor
him to life and raise him, the
biped above the animal crea-
ton. Man was not only endow-
ed with the mind and heart but
given a soul, given eternal life
and through the last attribute
a life,eternal, one that you or
can make pleasant or other
wise and of the entire animal
creation, man. is the only one
that can make the choice.

What is a traitor? A traitor
is a man who does not agree

If you should happen to call a
