TO BAR ANOTHER WAR.
The War Fostering Administration
Should Be Driven from
Power.

Are the American people weary OF
war? Have they had enough yet OF
the extra penny on the telegram and
the express receipt, the two cents on
the bank check, the multltudlnous,
exactions-falling not at all on the
corporations, lightly on the very rich
and most GENEROUSLY on the people OF
slender means-which go to make up
the war tax?
Are they sick of the daily bulletins
of the dead and crazed sacrificed in
Luzon to keep down an lnsurrect1on
officially reported as suppressed a
year ago? Do they count the cost or
the Philippine experiment and con-
slider what $10O,OOO,000 a year could
do here at home, expended in irriga-
tion to make the western deserts BIOS
som like the rose, employed to estab-
lish government telegraphs, parcels
post, a great national university, a
ship canal from the lakes to the sea,
government railroad which would
act as check to the extortions of the
privately owned monopolles?
IL lne people nave Oo0oii0
weary, if they are thus questioning,
they are ready to consider the veiled
menace in this utterance by Col. Dick,
Hanna's campaign manager, and one
of the men who is growing rich from
the picl1ings of the Mckinley admin
istration
"The status in China is very threat
ening, and events there may change
the whole political situation here.
suppose on one denies that this gov
ernment ought to protect Americans
in China, and if in doing so we should
be brought into war with China OF
any other power there would be but
one party in this country as long as
the trouble lasted, and that would be
the administration party"
There stands out the wish that is
father to the thought. With what
zeal will Hanna and Dick and Brother
Abner and Neeley and the rest of the
vultures that fatten on the fruits o1
McKinleyism rush to the defense Of
Americans in China if by so doing

IMPERIALISM AND EMPEROR.
What the Country Is Coming To Un-
der the Republican Ad-
mfnistration

The republican leaders seek to make
people believe that there is no such is
sue in this country as that of i'm
perialism, with its adjunct or prop of
militarism.
They seek to suppress the fact that
the essence of Imperialism is not au-
tocracy at home. but the exercise of
dominion over alien peoples without
their consent and against their will.
This dominion over alien subjects
may be exercised by congress no
less really or offensively tnan by an
emperor. The Objectionable thing is
the exercise of arbitrary power over
conquered subjects rather than the
agency through which that power is
exercised. The Objectionable thing, in
short, is imperialism rather than an
emperor.
Where there is imperialism an en-
peror is pretty sure to appear. Rome
wasimperial while it was still repub-
lie, but the emperor followed imperial
ism as natural sequel.
AhOoO "hO VIII OpCn LuelE eO cS Cdu-
not fail to see the same tendency here.
An empire with unwilling subjects can
only be held together by pinning it
with bayonets. Imperialism must be
backed by great army.
We have found that out already.
Our army is four times as large as it
was before the imperial policy was
entered upon, and we are continually
hearing that it is not large enough.
Macarthur cannot spare men from the
Philippines even during the rainy sea-
son, and he must have more as soon
as the weather will permit active
operations.
With large army comes the exer'
else of arbitrary power by the presi-
dent. 1t is necessary to intrust him
with such power. Therefore our lib
erty-loving fathers wisely insisted that
a large standing army must not be
created.
Current events prove their wisdom
With an army of 100000 the president
assumes to govern without congress
The Winslow mail., 1900-09-13

Instead of convening the representa-
tives of the people in crisis like the
present he takes action which as like
ly as not may involve us in pro-
longed war of vast extent and taxing
our resources in men and means to
the extreme of impoverishment, and
this he does without consulting the
representatives of the people.
This he could not do without large
army. Without that he would have to
call congress together.
If the people show no concern when
the president assumes such enormous
responsibilities and involves the coun-
try in such perfls, if they willingly
trust everything to one man, they
show that they are pretty nearly ripe
for an emperor-a military master
as well as for imperialism or the i'm
position of a hated yoke upon con-
quered subjects beyond the seas

Florida Oranges.

Besides the fine cultivated orange
trees of Florida. which have been i'm

vet thickets of thorny wild orange

of them dates some three centuries ago.

de Icons force carelessly dropped the

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Senator Elkins continues to
awaken the echoes of the West Vir-
ginia hills with his shouts for Mr. Nc
Kinley. He declares that the admin
istration needs neither an apologist
nor eulogist. The administration,
therefore. is better off than Stephen,
who needs both.-Chicago Chronicle
Hanna proposes 70 partially buy
and partially steal the presidency and
Maj. Mckinley stands ready to accept
the office thus obtained. Since the day
Moses brought down the tables of

one who receives stolen goods has been
fixed unalterably bly.-Kansas City Times.
President McKinleys pushing to
the front the outrageous claim that
congress can legislate for the terri

of government for years to come.
Protect Americans in China? OF
course, and Americans everywhere
else as we'll. But a president who has
rushed us into long, costly and
bloody war in the Philippines with
out the consent and scarcely with the
knowledge of congress cannot be
trusted to cope with this Chinese
situation alone, when his own close
advisers admit that his personal polit-
ical interests would be greatly ad-
vanced by war.
The country stands to-day at
point more critical than any 1t has
occupied since 1861. A lingering war
in the Philippines saps its strength.
It's soldiers and sailors are enveloped
in the storm and the intrigue of the
colossal Chinese field of battle. At
Washington is mercenary, imperial
istic government, which has profited
vastly already, politically and finan-
cially, by one war, and which
sees in a second and greater one
hope of indefinite continuance in
power. With true imperialistlc
self-assertion, the president refuses
to call congress together, and any
day Americans may find that the
intrigues or the incompetence of a
gang of scheming politicians have
dragged this nation into war with
half of Europe.
What is the defense of the people?
First, compel the president to call
congress in extra session.
Second, drive an administration
which can't be trusted from power in

The Main Issue.

Political leaders will harp on old
issues, but the intelligence of the SOW
ereign power of the country will keep
steadily in view the new and greater
questions which are so distinctly pre-
sented for the solemn judgment of the
republic. They are the questions of
an imperial policy that is an absolute
and revolutionary departure from the
corner stones of our free institutions,
and any equally imperial business pol
icy concentrating the power of regulat-
ing the cost of the necessaries of life
in organized monopolies. These ques-
tions will grow in interest every day
as the campaign progresses, while the
issues of the past, no matter how gall
vanizsd in party platforms, will be
relegated to forgetfulness. 1t will be
one of the most earnest conflicts this
country has ever witnessed since it
was cOnvulsed by civil war, and the
party that is most honest with the peo-
pie will have the vantage ground on
the homestretch.- ch.-Philadelphia Times.
