Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-10-17

Says an editorial in the Baltimore
Sun: Unbridled strenuosity is begin
ming to get the better of the ostensible
governor of New York state. 1t is
bucking too hard for him to stay in the
saddle facing one direction for any
number of consecutive moments, and
worst of all for him is that in some
of his numerous literary outgivings he
has made declarations quite contrary
to those he is uttering now upon the
stump. The days of his public life
have been spent in waging a contest
between the pen and the sword, and he
is doubtless discovering the truth of
the axiom, since the story of the abject
surrender of 10000 terrified Spaniards
on San Juan Hill, which he ascended
alone and empty handed, is fading in
the public mind. But the weight of the
pen still prevails, and some of his
voluminous magazine contributions are
coming home to remind him that he
who writes an opinion ought to uphold
it. But one of the most humiliating
recollections to the ostensible governor
his talk with Prof. David Starr Jor-
dan, of Leland Stanford university, in
which he said: Il wish to God we
were off the Philippines and had them
off our hands, and many other Repub-
licans are thinking the same" And
why does he favor their retention now?
Nothing has occurred since then to
cause a reversal of his views, unless
1t is his nomination at Philadelphia,
and If that is it, he doubtless changed
his front with the same reluctance as
he accepted the second place nomina-
tion. So it can well be assumed that
Roosevelts honest opinions were ex-
pressed when he was unhampered by
orders from the duty and destiny"
managers.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-10-17

In his speech made Oct. before the
Commercial Travellers League in Chi
cago Senator Hanna took occasion to
throw boquets at the Republican party
and himself incidentally as to the man
ner in which he thought "every issue
brought out by the Democratic party
has been thrashed out" This is the
most fatuuous statement that has fall
en- from the lips of Mr.. Hanna since
he took the stump for the purpose of
trying to lift the Republican party out
of the slough of despond into which
the reckless administration of McKin-
ley has plunged it.
Senator Hanna went on to declare
that he was anxious to see what the
Democrats would bring up next. The
Democratic party has nothing to bring
up next" The questions which that
party has been insiting upon as the
leading issues of the present campaign
have nothing of the haphazard about
them. They were all duly set forth in
the Kansas City platform and have
been reiterated time and again on the
stump and in the letters which Mr..
Richard Olney, Mr.. Carl Schurz and
other untrammelled minds have seen
fit to write The Republican party
cannot point to any avoidance of the
true issues of this campaign. Even the
money question, which properly speak
ing is not this fall an issue of first i'm
portance, has been kept plainly before
the people by Mr.. Bryan and other
speakers. There has been no attempt
to hide 1t.
This course presents a striking con-
trast to the conduct of the Republican
speakers who have appeared on the
hustings this fall Mr.. Hanna himself
tried to dispose of the trust issue by
his own simple unsupported assurance
that there are no trusts. He thought
to kill this important question with one
breath of wind from his reservoir of
oratory and of course, with over three
hundred organized trusts, robbing the
people all over the country, and their
robbery felt by every one, he utterly
failed and became the laughing stock
of sensible people. He and his col
leagues on the stump have studiously
avoided the question of Imperialism
whenever they have been able to do so
and have failed most ANONYMOUSLY
when compelled to attempt to answer
the charges on this head.

An Unattractive Fact.

Judge Este, of the United States court,
recently rendered a decision that must
be of great interest to the people of the
United States, and especially so with
respect to the laboring element of our
citizenship. 1t is to the effect that
since the annexation of the Philippines
and the Hawaiian Islands a native of
the Island of Guam does not need to
be naturaliZed to become a citizen of
Hawaii, for the reason that the islands
are under the same jurisdiction. On
the same theory he would be obliged
to rule that a native of either of the
islands may become a citizen of Penn
sylvania without taking out naturaliz-
alton papers.
If that be true, and it is supported by
reason, the thousands of Asiatics who
are born in the Philippine Islands and
Hawaii have the right not only to
land at any port of entry in the United
States, but to claim citizenship, with
all the rights and privileges which
that relation entails, in any part of the
territory of the United States. More
than half of the present population of
Hawaii are Chinese, either imported
or born of parents imported, and every
such person would have the same right
to come to Pennsylvania as would a
citizen, native or naturaliZed, of New
York, New Jersey or any other state in
the American Union.
This is lovely feast to offer to the
workingmen of this country. The
Chinese exclusion act is abrogated, and
the millions of Filipinos, no more intel
ligent and quite as unfit for American
citizenship, can force themselves, under
the imperial policy of the Mckinley
administration, into competition in the
labor market of every industrial center
in the land. How do the iron workers,
the coal miners and the other laborers
of Pennsylvania like such prospect?
1t is certainly not attractive, but it is
what is before them, according to the
decision of Federal Judge Este. The
remedy is to vote against the re-elec-
tion of Mckinley.

As a vessel was approaching New
York harbor the captain took his last
soundings in order to ascertain the nature
of the soil at the bottom of the ocean.
1t is sometimes the practice to attach a
large piece of tallow around the lower
end of the sounding lead. The sounding
had been made and the lead was all but
landed, when a Scottish emigrant went
to the side of the vessel to see the haul"
Observing the tallow, he cried out:
"Hoorah! Cheer up, lads! We've
come tae the land O. Goshen moo and but
ter at the bottom o't."-Scottish Ameri-
can.

The appointment of General Frank
Reeder as banking commissioner seems
entirely appropriate from one point of
view. He was dismissed in disgrace
from Governor Hastings cabinet for
having Joined in bond given to State
Treasurer Haywood to indemnify the
latter for illegal payments, made to
Quay henchmen, on the padded pay
rolls of the legislature. A man of that
stamp is just suited to the Quay Stone
administration of the state government.
Whether the people of the state will
enjoy having him rewarded and put
again in high position is another mat
ter But Quay takes care of his friends,
and that is the reason his friends work
so strenuously to keep him in power.
Keeping men like Attorney General
Elkin and General Frank Reeder in fat
offices is a necessary part of machine
politics in the state of Pennsylvania

Stage Heroes Are Scarce.

THE making of actresses IL easier
than the making OF actors" writes
Franklin Fyles Of The Theatre and
It's People" In the December Ladies'
Home journal. "fhe young women
are by nature more apt and pliable
Their faces are most mobile, their
manners more graceful, their habits
Of speech and bearing more variable.
When the roundup OF talent comes
and the the graduates are turned out
for the professional service there are
half a dozen proficient Actresses to
every actor of equal ability. This Is
shown at the matinee trial perform
ances, in which the female roles are
generally well played, while the male
ones are not. II promising actresses
are more numerous six TO one, than
actors, the same ratio operates In
favor of young men In getting work.
