CONSTITUTION REACHES TO THE
ISLAND OF GUAM.

While the congress Of the CniteS
States founders in sea Of uncertainty
and doubt as to whether the constitu-
tion reaches Puerto Rico OF not. the
governor OF the island OF Guam. who
has no great statesmen 10 bother him
with oratorical 'lapioodle. quietly
stretches the venerable document to
our far-away possessions In the Pa
cinc. It was a long ways to stretch
the constitution-much farther than
Puerto Rico-but Governor Leary saw
his plain duty and he did it-before
any favored interests could ring him
up with long distance telephone.
Governor Leary is the whole thing
in the island of Guam. and it is a very
good thing for the island of Guam that
the whole thing is man of sense
and a patriot instead of a profound
constitutional lawyer. In carrying out
the plain duty" program Of benevo-
lent assimilation. Captain Richard P.
Leary. governor of the E.land of Guam.
proposes to abolish anything and
everything which, in his opinion, is ''in
violation of the sacred privileges guar
anteed by the constitution Of the Uni
ted States" In pursuance Of this pol
icy. by virtue Of the authority vested
in him by the president Of the United
States, he has issued a proclamation
forever abolishing slavery in The ISL
and of Guam.
The profound political pettifoggers
need not waste any time discussing the
constitutional aspects Of the case Of
Guam. Governor Leary has already
extended the constitution TO Guam.
Like Admiral Dewey at Manila, he cut
the cable and gave congress an object
lesson in plain duty" The man who
tries to tear away the constitution
from Guam or build a tariff wall
around the snug little island will be
handed few shells by Captain Leary,
~. S. Navy. Governor"
Governor Leary is right. The island
OF Guam is part Of the United States,
and, being part of the United States,
the nstitution-ifteenth amendment
and all-extends to all its people, and
hence slavery could not legally exist.
More Learys and less constitutional
profundity and political pettifogging
are needed in the Fifty-siXth congress.

JAPAN REPORTS PROGRESS IN

II comes as decided surprise TO pass

Of the Gold Standard in japan" TO the
imprint Toxic. Printed at the Gov

OF nearly 400 pages all in English and
addressed by Count Matsukata Masa-

Yamagata Aritomo. II. l. ]. Ms min
lister president Of state, 1t is very
good English, too, as a whole.
Though the work has been carefully
revised and q list OF 'corrigenda and
errata" is published. only one instance
OF pronounced foreignism is dis
eoverable among the errors. This,
however. is worth repeating because 1t
is such a good example of the confusion
which results from studying vocabular-
les in books. mo business man, says
the report, would he SO foolish. un-
less he were compelled to submit 10
certain special circumstances, as TO
lose 10 per cent out Of his profit of 20
per cent in order to bring house cash
from foreign lands"
The grammatical construction Ct that
sentence is perfect, though 1t is COM
plex and full Of peril. but while many
Englishmen and Americans might have
been puzzled in putting it together, there
is not one among them all who would
have written bring house cash" for
"bring home cash. That is an unmis-
taxable foreignism which may not be
attributed to a slip or oversight like
the use of circumstance for "circum-
stances"
To turn from The language to the
matter the report is an exhaustive his
toric and economic treatise, which deals
with the development of financial the
cries an dlegislation not only in Japan
but in other countries as well. It is
calculated to give one a high idea Of
japanese craftsmanship and to make
an American feel some shame that any
American political party should have
been exploiting the most fallacious no
ticns Of finance within the last four
years. We commend to Mr.. Bryan the
following:
THE authorities knew, Of course, that
in order TO a healthy financial devel-
opment Japan would have to enter
sooner or later the international eco
nomic community, and that in order
to do this she would have to adopt a
gold standard"
Now mark that at the time to which
reference is made the country had just
passed from inconvertible paper to sill
yer, and yet this was regarded only
as step toward the proper standard.
There was no nonsense about the in
of silver, no defiance Of 9TH

The Clinton Liberal Institute, COL

was destroyed by fire Sunday after
noon. The fire broke out in the

and disinfected. The building was
comparatively empty as all of the stu
dents and most OF the faculty left
terday for their homes to spend the
regular Easter vacation. The insti-
tute was situated in high portion of
the town and flames started in a part
of the building which the wind struck
first. In less than half hour the en-

WASHINGTON, March 20. Senator

of the Senate that beginning with to-
morrow's session he would press the
measure to vote as soon as possible.
The House began today con sidera-
ton of the army appropriation bill.
The debate was without exciting Incl
dent. Mr.. Ridgeley of Kansas de-
nounced the tendency toward mill.
tarism, charging that it was menace
to the peace and welfare of the people.
He charged that the demand for large
standing army came from the officers
who would be benefited and from or
ganized capital, which desired a big
army to protect their property in time
of discomfort. The debate was not
concluded when the House adjourned.

"TrOuble Up in Vermont"

The Springfield Republican, nose in
air for the odor grateful to the buzz
yards appetite, scents "trouble up in
Vermont. The source of the hopes
of the bird of ill-onen is the Brattle-
boro Retormer's recent statement of
Republican opinion in the State on the
foremost issues of national politics,
and of the views thereon held by the
proposed chairman of the committee
on resolutions for the State conven.
ton in June. Regarding the WATCH
MAN and JOURNALS statement of the
real facts of Vermont Republican opin
ion the Reformer says:
II the Waterman is right in its assertion
the way to prove it is to let the convention
vote on such a platform as Judge Water
man will frame If he follows his convictions.
But that is just what those who shout the
loudest in the Watchnaans style would most
vehemently object to. Waterman will be
either choked off or knocked off that COM
mittee.
This very aptly illustrates the frivol-
ity of the Democratic mind in the Sc
rious affairs of politics, and its attitude
morally in respect of proper courses of
action on important occasions. If the
Republicans believe in the gold stand
ard, the way to prove it is to choose a
Bryanite as chairman of the resolutions
committee and let the convention vote
on such platform as he would frame,
if he followed his convictions. If the
Republicans believe in prohibition, the
way to prove it is to put free rum men
on the committee on resolutions and
let the convention vote on free rum
platform. 1t a church society believes
in the Christian religion the way to
prove it is to let anninfdel frame its
creed. And 80 on ad infnitum, od
absurdum. Republicans nave other
ideas Of the direct and honest way Of
affirming their beliefs or principles.
There is no room for trouble of any
kind among Vermont Republicans. II

instant and affirming applause has
been spoken for expansion, and the
more pronounced this sentiment the
more general and fervid the applause.
There is clearly something apocryphal
in the Reformer'S stalks" with Vermont
Republicans, "life-long" or otherwise.
There is no place in a Vermont Re-
publican convention for anti-imperial-
ism of any type. 1t Judge Waterman's
neighbor is incorporating him ON
matters of Republican policy the cir
cumstances seem to be serious enough
for correct representation of the
views of the proposed chairman of the
resolutions committee.
