The reelection Of Messrs. Often
and Bartholdt, who voted to
double the beer tax, is something
OF an enigma. Coming as they do
from the largest brewing centres
of the country, where, If dissatis-
faction with the present beer tax
existed at all il would be expected
to be shown, their re election
would seem to imply acquiescence
in the course OF the Administration
and a perfect willingness to con-
tinue to carry the burdens sup
posed to be imposed by that policy.
We are inclined to think, however,
that personal considerations were
paramount in these cases, and that
no question OF public policy was
passed upon in their election. Until
something definite to the contrary
is heard we shall act upon the as
sumption that brewers want their
taxes reduced and shall work to
the attainment OF that end.

are Maine and Virginia in the

A delegate to convention, to State
Legislature or to Congress, goes as
representative of the people. to do what
those who elect delegate would do If
they were present in person. Ours is a
representative democracy, by which the
people speak through appropriate rep
resentatives, and therefore the delegate
is the servant OF the people who elect
him and IS bound to do their will, He
is not selected to be the master OF the
people, but their servant to carry out
their will or wishes. This is not only
the Democratic doctrine, but is the very

DESTINY to be Paid For.

We must remember that, up to
the present, the heavy taxation
caused by imperialism has scarcely
been felt by this country. 1t coin
cided closely with a period Of ex-
panding industry and general pros
perity. The pinch will come when
depression comes, Then the null
titude will discover that it must
curtail the necessaries OF life, and
cut of its comforts, in order to
support armies OF subiugation and
a swollen navy and a horde OF i'm
perialistic officeholders. II the
Philippines become visiblY to the
United States, as Clarendon said
Ireland was to England, "a sponge
to draw and a guilt to swallow all
that can be spared and all that can
be got" the argument for getting
rid oil them will be immeasurablY
strengthened, No imperialist can
deny that here is the great test.
and the great peril to which, in the
region Of hard and ugly fact, his
theories will have to be submitted.
AS for anti-imperialists, they have
no reason to bate a jot OF heart or
hope, if what they have maintained
is strue, the stars in their courses will
fight against American imperial
ism.

The Prohibition Vote.

Prohibitionists are much elated
over the vote cast for Wooley and
Metcali, Prohibition candidates
for President and Vice President,
and they have reajon to be. Four
years ago their vote was about
100, 900. This year it is 100000.
Four years ago. with a vote OF
I2o, 900, the Gold ticket was able
to encompass the election of can
didates favorable to their views.
Four years ago the manipulation
OF &C, 900 votes would have elected
BRYAN. With the increase that wi |
most assuredly come to the cause
Of Prohibition in the next four
years-an increase that will give
them following oil 7,5oo, 900 judg-
ing from the experience Of the past
four-the prospect of having to
oppose a candidate on a platform
pledged to national prohibition is
not a distant one. A party that
can pledge $500, 900 votes to a
candidate who will support its
principles will be a factor in com.
ing elections that will be much
sought after. The bid that was
made for the Gold vote, the bids
that are made at every campaign
for the foreign votes, not one OF
which, properly speaking, ap-
proaches in numbers the possible
vote or the Prohibitionists four
years hence, gives ample proof oil
this. Already they have given
notice that they will be heard from
in the gubernatorial campaign in
Indiana in 1909, and we doubt not,
with 10000 votes to begin with
they will be. Already they are
asking contributions so s to place
themselves in position to begin the
1904 campaign with SIoo, 900, or
twice that amount in their treasury. |
With $1,000 the Democrats
could have elected Bryan with
ease. With more than that amount
what will the Prohibitionists be
able 10 90? Any one who mag
ines that prohibition is a dead
issue is very much mistaken. The
SENTINEL has never valued them
too lightly, although our warnings
have frequently gone unheeded.
The day may yet come when the
Prohibition vote will elect a can
didate favorable to its cause iu~' as
easily as the Gold vote di 70.
Forewarned is forearm
