The Difference.

Theodore Roosevelt drew heavily
upon his overworked Imagination and
insulted the intelligence Of his hear
ers when he declared at ST. Paul that
the imperialism of VIM. Mckinley
is a fac smile of the expansion of
Thomas Jefferson" If Mr.. Roosevelt
did not know letter than to make such
a false statement it is time that he
devote little more of his strenuosity
to studying history and a little less of
it to exhibiting his ignorance. The
expansion of Thomas Jefferson differ.
ed from the Imperialism of William
Mckinley as day differs from night
and right differs from wrong. The en-
panSion of Thomas Jefferson meant the
increasing of the sistcrhood of states,
the imperialism of William Mckinley
means an end to the growth of that
sisterhood and the beginning of a
colonial system. The expansion of
Thomas Jefferson meant the gift of
constitutional rights to the people of
country taken in, the imperialism of
William Mckinley means denial of
Self-government and the rule of carpet
| baggerS. The expansion of Thomas
jefferson gave to the people in the an
neXed territory equal rights and priyi-
leges with those in the original sister,
hood, the imperialism of William Nc
| Kinley means taxation without repre-
sentation and denial of the rights of
citizenship. The expansion of Thomas
Jefferson was the expansion of the
constitution and the glorification of
the flag, the imperialism of William
Mckinley means the violation of the
constitution and slavery under the
flag. The expansion of Thomas JEFF
| ferson was American assimilation, the
imperialism of William Mckinley is
criminal aggression. The expansion of
| Thomas Jefferson was peaceful, the
Imperialism of William Mckinley is a
riot of bloodshed. The expansion of
Thomas Jefferson resulted in the final
destruction of slavery, the imperial
ism of William Mckinley has already
restored slavery under the protection
of the American flag. Even man
like Theodore Roosevelt should know
these facts. He possesses an average
|intelligence.-Wo rld-Herald.

MEANING OF IMPERIALISM.
Principles OF Freedom and
Fairness.

If definitions in the dictionaries will
not aid much the platform adopted at
Kansas City may. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Bryan had something to say
about the construction of the plat
form. We may presume, therefore,
that Mr.. Bryan means about what the
platform means by the word Imperial
ism" The second paragraph of the
platform reads:
I'VE declare again that all governments
instituted among men derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed;
that any government not based on the
consent of the governed is a tyranny, and
that to impose upon any people a gov
eminent OF force is to substitute the
methods of imperialism for those of a
republic
This declaration seems to convey n
pretty clear idea of what the trainers
of the platform mean by imperial
ism" and we may safely assume that
what they mean Mr.. Bryan means.
The idea is more fully conveyed, per-
haps, by the words quoted than it
would be by formal definition.
Essentially, imperialism is arbitrary
power exercised over a people without
their consent. 1t is the power that the
British government asserts in many
places, though In general it exercises
the power with such modera ton that
the people over whom it is asserted are
practically self-governing. At bottom
it is fiat denial of the right of self
government.
1t is entirely immaterial whether the
power TO govern without the consent

Another Instance of Republ'can
Rottenncss In Public

1t is we'll known that the present
head of the treasury bureau of sta
tistics is preparing the campaign
textbook of the republican party.
Such Il scandalous Disregard of the
proper duties and dignity of that bu-
reau has never before been shown.
There have been charges made OF par
tisan use in the past, but these
charges have never been proved to
such an extent as to affect the cor
rectness of the returns issued by the
bureau. There have been issued, I'M
der official sanction, interpretations
of commercial and industrial returns,
favoring particular policy or meas
ure, and when Charles Foster
was secretary Of the treasury the
head of the bureau permitted vio-
lenty protectionist interview to be
circulated as treasury document
although it was well known at the
time that the matter had been pre-
pared by another hand Such eN'l-
billions of improper poitical activity
by the bureau have been rare, how
ever, and have never failed to bring
down criticism on those who were re-
sponsible.
Secretary Gage must bear the full
responsibility of causing the present
scandal. He removed a man of eNpe-
rience to make room for a political
hack, whose only qualification was his
service during the campaign in run
ming literary bureau for the re-
publicans. From the beginning this
partisan has used the bureau for par,

The Economist publishes a table

The Economist publishes a table
showing the acreage Of wheat, the
bushels produced and aggregate value
for series of years in the state of
Kansas, and because of greater acre
age with increased production takes
great credit to the policy of the re-
publican party. In 1899 its wheat
crop was 43,6S7, O13 bushels valued at
1922, 406, 439, trifle over 81 cents a
bushel. Prior to 1873 the average
price per bushel was trihe above ST.
per buShel. For instance in 1867 the
bushels grown were 2,250,000.. the
value S2,300,000, a trifle over ST. per
bushel. Had the Economist analysed
its table of figures it would have dis
covered that wheat growers having a
given sum of money to raise from
their crops must produce twice as
much as prior to the time when re-
publicans had obtained complete con-
troll over the business of the country.
This is the inevitable conclusion from
its table of figures.

Upon all phases of all the questions

democratic platform is clear, straight
forward, admirable. There Is no eva
sion. no juggling. After reading these
vigorous yet moderate and sane utter
ances no one can have the slightest
doubt either as to the principles laid
down or as to how the democratic
party interprets those principles into
policies. The evils are defined and
the remedies of justice. liberty and
American fair-dcaling are proposed
explicitly and fearlessly. Upon the
other grea. issue, monopoly, the plat
form is again clear, straightforward,
admirable. Instead of incoherent raw
ings and indefinite promises, there is
sanity of statement, avoidance of con-
fusion between corrupt and legiti-
mate uses of capital and n demand for
real reforms-for publicity, for the
constitutional extension of law, and
above all for the ending of monopoly
fostering tariffs. = Cincinnati En-.

of the governed is asserted by person
called an emperor or by a person called
a president or by parliament or by
congress.
The material thing is the assump-
ton of supremacy-of sovereignty
by some person or number of persons
over other persons whose consent is
not given and who are not consulted.
1t is the utter negation of the Amer
lean doctrine that sovereignty resides
in the people and not in others assum-
ing by divine right OF the right of mere
might an authority above that of the
people.
This is the imperialism which has
been set up in Washington over dis
tant peoples. 1t is an Imperialism
which the American people cannot per-
NIT to be exercised in their name over
other peoples of the earth without
mourning great risk that it will soon
be exercised over themselves.
To quote once more from the plat
form:
I'VE assert that no nation can long en-
dure half republic and half empire, and
we warn lne american people tlat I'M
perialism abroad will lead quickly and
| inevitably to despotism at home"
Substantially the same thing was
said by Abraham Lincoln, but it is not
the mere dictum of any man or body
of men. 1t is an eternal truth rooted
clear down at the bottom of human
nature.
He who accepts the principle of des-
potism is fit subject of despotism.

remember that some things are re
garded with tolerance to-day which
would have been rejected with indig
