THE TURNERBUND ON
IMPERIALISM.

A matter In most frequent dispute
has been the position as to Imperial
ism of the so-called Commandment
cans who are sufficiently numerous to
constitute the balance OF power in many
of the middle Western States and who.
should they cast their votes as a unit.
can make themselves the decisive
quantity in the approaching Prcsiden-
tial election. Leading German-Ameri-
cans have asserted that their compa-
triots were almost solidly opposed TO
the forcible expansion presently in
vogue. but until recently there has
been no formal action indicating Ger
man. american sentiment.
During the week of the Republican
convention, however, the national
Turnerbund met in Philadelphia in
annual convention. The Turnerbund
is a thoroughly representative German
American organization, with local or
CARNATIONS in all the prcipal cities
of the country. The convention was
composed of 5000 delegates and adopt-
ed the following resolution without
dissenting vote:
we protest against the policy of
conquest by this Government. and
against every attempt toward expand
ing the domain of the United States
by force"
This would seem to be a sufficiently
clear and authoritative pronouncement
of German-American opinion. 1t Is. of
course, conceivable that the element
for which the Turnerbund spoke may
not be disposed to carry it's protest to
the extent of voting against the expo
nents of the policy of conquest" but
organization, there is no apparent rea-
son why it should indulge in buncombe
or go out of It's way to antagonize by
formal resolution what its individual
members expect to support at the
polls.
There is no class of Americans who
know by bitter experience so much of
the evils and dangers OF Militarism, the
inevitable corollary of Imperialism. as
the German element. That the Ger
mans should be thus unanimous in
their opposition should give pause to
the native born American who thinks
* rather fine TO have n big army and
navy and TO speak of "our colonies"
and possibly OF our Chinese posses
sions." If indeed anything can check
the folly and fury of the lingo.
The great menace of Imperialism has
been and is to appeal to that feather
head clement of our population which
never stops to count the cost or to

TIE PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS

Since he succeeded William r. Day
lures in the realm of diplomacy have
not been what could be termed brilliant
coups. He has been more than sus-
pected of negotiating a secret under
standing with England. to which coun-
try he has been too partial to please
his countrymen who do not care to see
the United States an annex to Britains
imperial policy. His treaty with
Pauncefote was so decidedly un-Ameri-
American rights that the Senate re-
fused to ratify it. while his open
door treaty with the Powers. charac-
terized as the greatest triumph OF
modern diplomacy" turned out to lie
merely a ridiculous fiasco, without
binding force, because Russia made
reservations which were fatal. FL
nally, however, Mr.. Hay has done
what is really sensible, in the matter
of our relations with other American
republics, in which our trade interests
are both actually and potentially
greater than they can ever be in the
far East, by refraining from assuming
the lead in the approaching Pan-Amer-
lean Congress. and by treating the
smaller Central and South American
republics as equals. instead of putting
on the airs of big brother. The Con-
Srcss is to be held in the city of Mex
leo, and all arrangements arc to be left
10 the officials of the Mexican govern
ment. The United States will not ap-
point its delegates until the other re-
publics have named theirs and will
send no preponderant delegation. On
this basis it ought to be possible 70
avoid offending the sensibilities of our
naturally thin skinned ncighbors,
whose good will was never of greater
importance than at the present Great
things are not to be expected of the
Congress. but If it shall mark the be-
ginning Of a common sense policy
based on mutually OF interests, 1t will
be a vastly more important triumph
than any open door" treaty as to
China would have been. had it been
successfully negotiated.

In principle there is not particle
of difference between the Philippines
and the Louisiana purchase. the terri
tory acquired by the treaty of Guade-
loupe Hidalgo or Observation-Disclosures
American.
The Louisiana purchase was terri
tory comparatively vacant, contiguous
to the then Union, and capable of being
easily settled by Americans and made
into States to be governed under the
Constitution. The Philippines are on
the other side of the world. They are
thickly settled and by people whom
the Republicans say are unfit for citl-
zenship and must be indefinitely gov
erned by force and OUTSIDE the Consti-
tuition. These are the facts and they
can not be concealed from any person
who knows fact from a glorious con-
ception of the imperialistic magma

AN ANTI-AMERICAN PARTY.
ATLANTA Constitution

1t is not surprising that the London
Saturday Review. which is stolidly
anti American, should heartily indorse
the Republican platform. That docu-
ment is as completely anti-American
as if it had been concocted by a Rus
sian autocrat. Not only the platform,
but the whole course of the Republican
party since Mr.. Hanna came into
power has been distinctly and often
sively antiAmcrican. We do not mean
TO include in this category the war
with Spain. which no administration
could have evadcd; we refer to the
manipulation OF results; to the official
infamics perpetrated in Cuba; to the
Infamous treatment accorded the trust
ing people of Porto Rico; to the con-
tention that Congress and the Pre5i-
dent have powers to act outside the
constitution, and to the legislation in
behalf of trusts.

MORAL CULTURE.

Our esteemed evening contemporary.
the Public Ledger always sound in
its position upon moral subjects, is re-
Gently becoming equally aggressive
upon the subject of checking crime.
And we must agree with its argument
that the beginning. not the end. is the
place at which effective work can best
be done.
The Ledger would have us begin with
the boy and girl. which is certainly
sound doctrine. THE boy is the father
of the man." Train up a child in the
way 1t should go. and when 1t is old
1t Will not depart from It," These ure
truths accepted of all men. There is
no doubt that the child inherits many
bad as well as good traits from its
forefathers. and that the environments
of childhood are reflected in the man.
There is no doubt that the tough of
the Bowery." like the dude of Fifth
avenue" is the product of circum-
stances, neither rejecting the least
particle of real manhood. The one has
grown to the bulldog necessary for
preservation and self-assertive-
ness; the other has descended into the
sycophantic fiatterer and dependent,
neither needing nor exercising brain
or heart.
Honesty and truth are natural ele-
ments OF man. Dishonesty and deceit
are foreign to his nature, and it were
sacrilegious to believe otherwise ofIthe
being made in the image of God. Let
us believe, for the good of mankind
that this is so. and act upon that hy-
potheSis. beginning with the children
n child is "a natural imitator and
learns to commit crime and use i'm
proper language from example, with
out knowing right from wrong. When
the light of truth and honesty at last
breaks in upon it. habits have been
formed and the disposition is perma-
mothers knee; the most effective i'm
pressions are made upon the elastic
mind and gentle heart of the child.
We agree with our contemporary
that the heart should receive like at
tention with the mind. Some children
are naturally affectionate. gentle and
loving. obedient and plant. Others
are selfish. stubborn, willful and re-
bellious. With each class it is a mat
ter of training to a great extent. We
must cling fondly to the belief that
when once there is implanted In the
mind and heart of a child the love OF
justice. truth. honesty, unselfishncss.
respect and obedience, 1t will follow
him throughout life. though storms
and trials and temptations besiege and
beset. Honesty is of the nature to a
great extent. but the disposition and
nature is at last greatly n matter of
training. The school child who has
been raised to respect and love good
for goods sake will be honest, as a
man. from principle. All the law in
the world will not make an honest man
and a good citizen of a person who Is
mean at heart. He may stand high in
the congregations that represent the
good of the land. and he may respond
loudly at prayer. but he is at last but
wolf in sleeps clothing"
The Ledger is right In turning Its
attention to the moral, as well as the
mental training of the child. for in that
alone lies the secret If secret it be, OF
checking crime, and at the same time
making good and w-abiding citizens
of each generation.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
A MYSTERIOUS GIFT.
Galveston News.)

There has BEEN placed in the safe OF
the librarian of Congress in Washing
ton n package which is destined TO
puzzle the American imagination for a
century TO come. The package. which
Iour men were barely able to lift into
the safe, contains a gift TO the Amer
ican Government. Its contents are I'M
known even to the librarian; the name
OF the donor is known by only two or
three persons. and it is expressly slip
ulated that the package shall not be
opened until the close of the twentieth
century. Here. then. is n great Amer
lean mystery. What does the package
contain? Who gave it? Why the con
ditions imposing n delay of 100 years

NEW ETIQUETTE FOR wALTzERS


The Dancing Masters Association.
in session at Asbury Park last week.
prescribed the exact manner in which
partners in the waltz must hold each
other. This is the form adopted by the
saltatorial professors: The gentleman
extends the left hand TO the lady, who
places her right hand in il: the tips
OF the gentleman's fingers closing over
the lady's. The ladys right arm is
slightly curved, the gentleman's arm
being governed by the length of the
lady's arm. The fingers of the gentle
mans right hand are clustered together,
touching the ladys spine at the waist
line. The lady's left hand rests on the
gentleman's right arm. a little above
the elbow. The bodies of the dancers
must not touch.
This method requires some study and
practice, but he dcvotees of the dance
who are singularly patient and persist
cnt in acquiring new step. will not
be long in mastering it. OF course, II
will nccessitate many preliminary re-
hearsals by young folk in parlors. and
that Will not be altogether disagree
able.

THE MISTAKES OF CORPORA
TIONS
(Hartford Courant)

1t is one of the surprising factors in
the social situation that the proven
bially 'shrewd" and far sighted"
men who manage such corporations
take the attitude they do. They seem
incapable with all their shrewdness of
seeing that their own actions are the
strongest impulse to socialism and
that what they profess to be afraid Of
and TO regard as Il national calamity
is the natural outcome of their own
abuse of the enormous power and
privilege which they enjoy. They
evade paying their share of the taxes,
but they do nothing 10 lessen the ten
dency of the state to greater expendi-
ture, which makes taxes grow-on the
contrary they demoraliZe legislatures
and are i'll large measure responsible
for the pace that expenses progress at.
Every observing person has to rec
ognize that. when corporate interests
range themselves against the public.
the public eventually will come out
ahead. The only questions are as to
how long it will take and how the end
VIII be reached.

THE GREATEST FEAR.

Powers. will be divided up and appor-
toned in satisfaction OF damages and

What. then, will be the status of the

such there be. And so the greatest
trouble growing out of the present Chi
