UNITED STATES IN THE ORIENT

By John Barrett in December Forum.
From the beginning the United
States were set toward the Pacific. AS
soon as its waters were reached in the
path of the republican progress, an eff
fort was made to bridge them on the
north by the way of Alaska and the
Aleutian Islands. Commercial devel-
opment and political influence. how
ever. did not thrive along that frozen
route. or find favorable approach to
the vast markets and millions of Asia.
A southern pathway was marked across
the seas. which in the surveys included
Hawaii. There was some difficulty at
first about the title but the war with
Spain conveniently and peremptorily
settled that issue. Guam was made a
flag station. The Philippines were oc-
cupied as a legitimate moral result of
war: and now we are discussing the
feasibility and cost of erecting there
as it were, permanent terminal facili-
ties. Russia. Germany. France, and
England are well provided with rem
devious and possessions along Asia's
Pacific shores. we are now to deter
mine whether we shall have our own
or forever depend on other nations. We
own the ground in right and theory.
IF not in practice: and we hope soon
to be able to build thereon the fabric
of good government, which will bring
with it peace. order. and prosperity
There are great moral as well as ma
terial problems to be solved in our oc-
cupation of the Philippines. Whether
on the one hand, we believe that our
government is meeting it's responsible
tiles and notshirking the mighty task
before it in endeavoring to put down
the present warfare, or. on the other
hand, that we are violating the sacred
principles of the constitution and tres
passing on the right of others. we must
all agree that the one desideratum of
the present hour is the conclusion of
the conflict. the establishment of quiet,
and the beginning of contentment and
happiness among the people. When
once fighting is at an end, congress,
supported by public sentiment, can de-
termine what shall be the future of
the Philippines. 1t is not the purpose
of this article to enter upon a discus
sion of the principles involved in the
occupation of the Philippines; but, in
tracing the rise of American influence
in the Pacific and the far east, it is
necessary to touch upon the present
situation. which has such a direct bear
ing on our future standing as power
in Pacific lands and seas.

1t is gratifying to the friends of la
Dor to read that the representatives of
the various railway trainmen's orga-
nizations refuse to join in a sympathy
strike with the telegraphers. The con-
viction has been growing in the minds
of intelligent readers of the daily press
that, whatever may have been the
particular grievances of the operators
on the Gulf road, the strike on the
main line was unjustifiable. and for
feited whatever rights the operators
had under their agreement with the
railroad company. 1t seems to be
well substantiated that the telegraph
ers violated a solemn agreement in
going out on strike as they did
They have certainly lost the sympathy
of the public. and that stands for a
good deal. The strike was ill advised
in the opinion of the leaders of the
other railway organizations, and in
refusing to countenance it these orga-
nizations have gained greatly in pres
tige, in the respect of the public, and
in the good will of the railway man
ayers.

the effect that the senate committee on
foreign relations had unanimously
and favorably reported the bill for the
construction of the international dam
at Ell Paso, was as much a surprise to
Senator Turney, who has been active
in enlisting Senator Culberson's sup
port. as it was to the people of Ell
Paso in general. The action of the
committee is most gratifying, and it
indicates that there is no active OPP
position to the project at the present
time, among the members of the SEN
ate. The fact that the bill was report

1t is too much to hope that the pres
ent misfortunes of the Palace theater
will result in closing up the house.
The "theater" is one of the two or
three rottenest dens of vice in Ell Paso.
A description of the proceedings there
every night would hardly be fit read
ing for decent people. And yet in that
vile place. duly licensed by the city.
and under the direct protection of the
mayor, every method known to de-
bauch humanity is employed to ruin
men. The proceedings now in court
show to all what many of course have
known before-that the theater is run
largely as an agency for Texas
brewery. There may be no intrinsic
harm in drinking beer in moderation,
but certainly the advocates of enforced
temperance have much to justify their
position, when they contend that the
brewery and liquor interests are the
instigators of crime to a degree that is
disgraceful to our civilization. The
idea of using beer in moderation as a
beverage or as a food is not abhorrent
but the idea of using the lowest. most
debauched and criminal practices,
through the connivance of govern
ment, to push the sale of intoxicants
far beyond what it would normally be
if dependent merely on the appetites
of men, is abhorrent to every man and
every woman who thinks about the
matter at all. 1t is another case in
which public sentiment has got to be
aroused before there can be any eff
fectiye reform. And when the reform
is begun it must be at the fountain
head. There is a deal of sentimental
ity wasted about the poor mans
beer" little attention to the poor
mans hell might solve many of the
problems of labor and industry, of civ
and law enforcement.

A WORD ABOUT THE COMING
MIDWINTER CARNIVAL

There is one thing in Ell Paso about
which there is no difference of opin-
ion. That is the Midwinter Carnival,
to be held next month. From the day
the movement was launched under its
present thoroughly competent manage
ment, there has been no place for
croakers in this city. Every one be-
came enthused at once, and if there
have been any DIRECTORS they have kept
quiet
Ell Paso people ask each other a
thousand times a day What about the
the same: I'VE will" The spirit that
has actuated the promoters of the car
nival has been most infectious. and
I'VE will puts strength into the hearts
of loyal Ell Pasoans. shines forth from
their coat lapels. is flashed abroad on
every letter head and envelope, and
makes the sun shine even brighter than

ses. The proverbial red fire" that
carries the hurrah and the swashbang
and makes everybody feel that he owns
the town and the state of Texas on the
side, is here in unlimited quantities. Ell
Paso stands together. as one man and
one woman, with only one thought. to
make the carnival a success that shall
be ever remembered and looked back
to with pride.
Thousands will come to the merry
making. 1t may be eight, ten, fifteen
thousand. But provision will be made
for all, and Ell Paso's hospitality will
not even be strained. only brought out

WINTER RESORT FOR 1NvAL1ps.

Old Mexico with all its destinations
and attraction as a winter resort for
invalids has attracted little attention
because of the discomforts encounter
ed in the miserable hotels of the coun-
try, and the lack of proper medical
supervision. The splendid Sanitarium
recently opened at Guadalajara as a
branch of the Battle Creek, Mich, in
stitution removes this obstacle and
many are planning to avail themselves
of the benefits offered by the unrivaled
winter climate of Old Mexico in con-
nection with Sanitarium care.

One of the most frequent methods
of reducing manufacturing expenses
has been to find q sale for the by
products resulting from the work of
the factory. In the business of man
ufacturing electricity for public sup
ply, where steam power is used, the
only available by-product is exhaust
steam. This steam contains much of
the heat of the furnaces which are
fred to produce it when it is dis
charged into the air and is entirely
available for steam-heating purposes.
In certain towns in the Western states,
notably in Wisconsin and Minnesota,
where the winters are long and severe,
the electric stations have laid systems
of underground pipes and have sup
piled steam heat and hot water to citi-
Zens through them. The experiment
has been an unqualified success, the
citizen receiving the service, being
freed from the slavery of the furnace,
while the electric light companies
have enjoyed a considerable revenue
from an otherwise wasted reiduum. It
is thought that many electric light and
railway stations in the colder half oil
the country will install pipe systems
for the utilization Of their waste
steam in this way next winter.

"Black root is a terrible thing for

WOOLEY FOR PRESIDENT.
Prohibition National Convention
Finishes Work at Chicago
and AdlOurns.


The prohibition national convention
at Chicago adjourned sine die Thurs
day, after having placed in nomina-
ton for president John q. Woolley, Of
Illinois, and for vice president II. b.
Metcali, Of Rhode Island. The nomi-
nations in each instance were made on
the FIRST ballot.
The candidates for the presidential
nomination balloted for were Mr.
Woolley and Rev. s. @, Swallow Of
Pennsylvania, Hale johnson Of Illi-
nois Withdrawing his name at the last
moment and throwing his strength to
Mr.. Woolley. This undoubtedly had
a great effect upon the result, as the
convention earlier in the day had been
nearly stampeded for Swallow by an
eloquent speech Of Homer Castle Of
Pittsburg, aud had the friends of the
Pennsylvania clergyman forced bal
lot at that time the result might have
been different.
For vice president three candidates
were balloted for-H. B. MetcaIf,
Thomas r. Caskardon, Of West Vir-
ginia, and Rev. L. Eaton, of Iowa,
Mr.. Metcalf receiving an oyerwhelm-
ing majority Of the votes cast. Imme-
diately after the announcement of
the result Of the ballot for the
the presidential nomination DR.. Swal-
low was proposed as the vice presi-
Dental nominee. The convention went
wild over the suggestion, but DR..
Swallow, after a hurried conference
with the Pennsylvania delegation, re-
fused to accept the nomination.
During the last days session Chair
man Stewart, Of the national commit
tee, called for contributions for the
campaign and over 81, 900 was realized
in few minutes.
John G.. Woolley is descended in a
direct line from Emanuel Woolley, an
English Quaker and friend Of George
Fox, who came to New England in
1868 and later became a large land
owner in New Jersey, which is still
the family seat. DR.. Woolley was
born at Collinsville, O., February Is,
800. He was graduated from the
Ohio Wesleyan university in 1871,
practiced law in Paris, ILL.,, Minneapo-
lis and New York until 1888, when he
became a Prohibitionist, and from ac-
cepting occasional invitations to speak
upon the liquor traffic, drifted out of
the practice of his profession into the
lecture field. He has resided in Chi
cago since 1892.
Henry B. Metcalf, of Rhode Island,
prohibition nominee for vice president,
was born seventy-one years ago. He
is president of the Providence County
Savings bank. Mr.. Metcalf was for
merly a Republican, but joined the
Prohibition party several years ago,
and has been prominently identified
with that party since. He has been
the candidate of his party for governor
several times.
