Ouicksands Of Imperialism.

If we had followed the policy of true
Americanism in the Philippines we
should never have blundered into this
Chinese complication. That American.
ism required that we should stand aloof
from European land robberies. Then
China might have regarded the United
States as her friend and arbitrator. BY
Joining our interests and forces with the
European monarchical military invaders
we are identified in the Chinese mind

Fort Smith Street FAIR and Carnival

EDITOR PRESS
Since writing you upon our street fair
and carnival of the probability OF your
city taking part In the same, we have
been asked by members of the press to
make suggestions in regard to carrying
out the float and queen idea.
Like many propositions there are
many ways to arrive at the same result, ,
in this case depending somewhat on the
population and the customs and habits
Of the people, which engraft themselves
through their pursuits of life.
Where the population is large enough
the newspaper method OF issuing coup
ons would answer the purpose. Name
ly; a two by four bordered space APP
pears in the prper which explains in a
few words the object of the voting con-
test. Each coupon entities the holder
to one vote and small charge, say five
cents, for each vote. Under this system
the subscribers OF the paper would re
ceive vote free gratis with every
paper but that is generally very in
significant per cent of the vote cast. If
any interest at all is manifested and the
relative standing of the count is often
published, the friends and sweethearts
of the young lady candidates soon de-
velop an exciting contest and the paper
issuing the coupons has to print them
by hundreds, yes, even by thousands.
In that case the paper having the mat
ter in charge could pay itself for its ex-
pense out Of the fund and devote the
remainder to the cause for which 1t is
raised.
In other localities stores create a con
test by giving vote with certain
amount purchased. Possibly the most
satisfactory method in II case Of this
kind would be the appointment of a
committee by the citizens, who could
establish voting precinct at certain
stores or offices. Furnish such stores
with ballot box and place it in care of
some person, Tickets could be placed
on sale in stores or other points at Il
fixed price Give cents or some other

granted that all American citizens will
withdraw from China temporarily or
take refuge In some seaport where they
can be protected by American ships

In good faith TO protect our citizens,
suitable punishment for the guilty and

have suffered can doubtless be secured.
" upon investigation II IL found that the

to disuiember China and II Is not strange
that their ambitious designs should
