scoRcHERs ON THE SIDEWALK

The sidewalk scorcher is getting the
wheel fraternity into bad repute. Pc
destrians have been knocked down,
baby carriages upset and havoc in
general created by wheelmen running
amuck
As rule, bicycle riders are careful.
It is as much to their interest to avoid
collisions as IT is that of any other
user of. the sidewalk. But, unfortun-
ately, not ali wheel people are wise
enough to sense this. The various
grades Of mentality are represented on
wheels as are the various trades and
professions. There are wheelmen as
we'll as footmen with wheels on their
shoulders. And so It is that OCCASION
ally We run across a cycIer-or more
often he runs across us-who is either
desperately reckless or incapable of
controlling his machine.
The percentage Of wild-eyed scorch-
ers and shaky-kneed novices is small,
but it is enough to cause a roar of
complaint to ascend from every in
habited part Of the city. All bicyclers
look alike to the man or woman who
has been run down. The innocent, the
careful and the competent, therefore,
have TO suffer with the guilty and the
Indifferent and the Beginner.
In Berlin tie government undertakes
10 decrease the number of accidents
by permitting only such wheelmen to
ride as have passed an examination
as to their fitness. Whether this in
cludes en- inq1isition as to sanity or
is merely confined to tests of skill is
not known. Doubtless it should in
clude both. The examination IS con-
Quoted by the police, who issue metal
tags or certificates to all who qualify
These are forfeited whenever the BIZ
cycle regulations are disregarded by
the hoIder.
Some such system might be intro
duced with profit in the cities of this
country. Meanwhile the police should
seek to reduce the danger by arresting
sidewalk scorchers and making it
hazardous pastime to race where pc
desuians are entitled to some consid-
Grafton. In this way the needless and
the vicious might be punished without
moiesting decent cyclers who enjoy the
sidewalks and permit others to do so.

EXPANSION VS.. IMPERIALISM.

To oppose expansion in the abstract.
as the wording of the resolution dis
cussed at the Utah-Neyada contest the
other evening obliged che Nevada de-
baters to do. is to fly in the face Of
history and to almost deplore ones
citizenship. Expansion made Utah
and Nevada parts Of the republic, sis
ters of the Union. But American ex-
pansion carries the constitution with it.
That expansion which acquires terri
tory by force and rules unwilling peo-
pie by the sword defying and denying
the constitution, as the administration
is doing in relation to the islands
wrested from Spain, is imperialism.
Expansion is a -honored policy of
the Democratic party. Democratic adj
ministrations have added every foot of
contiguous territory which extended
the domain of the original states. In
1903 the United States contained S23, 765
squire miles. Thomas Jefferson bought
from France 100000 square miles Of
territory, more than doubling the area
of the republic. This purchase caused
the occupation of Oregon and Washing
ton. In 1919 the Democratic party, I'M
der James Monroe, bought Florida
from Spain. Between 1916 and 1858
Democratic administrations purchased
and annexed 100000 square miles Of
Mexican territory.
The States of Florida, Louisiana,
Arkansas. Missouri. Iowa. Minnesota,
North and South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Texas. Colorado. Wyoming.
Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington, and
the territories Of Arizona, New Mex;eo,
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
have been built in the regions an
nexed by the Democratic party.
But the constitution covers them
all. It was extended over them,
according to the ruling Of the supreme
court, by the act of ratification. No
special legislation was needed to carry
the constitution WITHIN whose Hmita-
tons even congress must act and be-
yOnd which the president has no legal
cbALAAOAlA9
There is a difference between eXpan-
sion and imperialism. Expansion goes
with the settler. Imperialism with the
soldier. Expansion rests upon the CON
stitution. Imperialism goes beyond and
disregards the constitution. Expan-
sion peopled the American continent
Imperialism rules East India and is
reaching out for other Asiatic peoples
to govern in spite of themselves
There is such a marked difference be-
tween the expansion of Jefferson and
Polk and the imperialism of Hanna and
Mckinley that he is dense indeed who
fails to note it. Had this been the
topic of discussion Nevada would have
had better chance, although there are
orators in the University of Utah hard
to beat on either side of any two-sided
question.

. A soured and envious contemporary
is very much concerned over what The
Herald prints and what it does not
print. The Herald's subscription lists
demonstrate that it cuts tolerably
close to popular approval, even though
its policy may not be in line with the
ancient and peculiar ideas of the Han
IA organ. The Herald handles the
news upon its merits, and il never
garbIes, distorCs nor suppresses re-
ports to further partisan ends-of-
lenses characteristic of its VIGOROUSLY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Gov Brady.
of Alaska, accompanied by Representa-
tive Brick, of Indiana, called at the
White house this morning and had a long
conference with the president regarding
the Cape Nome judicial scandal. Meth
er Brady nor Brick would tell what the
president said, but 1t is understood he
listened with much interest, and
said that the case had row reached a
stage where a prompt and full inveStiga-
ton was highly necessary, both for the
reputation of the men Involved and for
the honor of the judiciary.
Representa- tive Brick said he had not
pressed his resolution demanding the in

had asked him to wait few days, but

Immediately after the holidays, # he is

Gov. Brady and Mr.. Brick had a long
conference today before calling on the
president. Gov. Brady made substantial
ly the following statement to Mr.. Brick:
Before leaving Alaska l had a confer
ence with Judge Noyes and told him that
unless there was radical change in his
policy by the opening Of the rainy season
next year, in my judgment he was eth
weak; that his decisions and ruling, &C
cording to general belief, were being die
tated by Alex Mckenzie, and that the
Cape Nome people would not submit to
the continuation of such programme.
Gov. Brady is a Yale graduate and
man Of nigh attalnments. He stands we'll
IN Washington official circles, and his
mildly qualified condemnation of Noyes
has only added to H. demand for a
