The penocra.ic Platform.

Republican newspapers evidently are Of
| opinion that the average American c.tizeI
has not and will not read the rational
! Democratic platform adopted at Kansas
City, and will accept their statements re-
gardins 1t as gospel. Some Of them tell
their readers that 1t is irsiacere: that ii

Others. And they proceed to construe 1t in
way to suit the purposes and necessities
Of their own party, which. it may be taken
for granted. were not considered respect
fully by the people who wrote or voted for
and promulgated the document in ques ion.
During this unusually heated term it
would save Republican editors labor and
the exercise OF Imagination il they would
stop trying to construe the Democratic
platform Of 1900. and, by printing, permit 1t
to construe itself to their readers. In all
the history of American politics there has
never been document more straightfo.-
ward. clear. logical. and definitive. Repsb-
lican leaders are Saying that it raises the
question of Imperialism. which is and can
not be question. Then they cite Jeffer-
son and jackson as imperialists. and ask
Democracy what It is going to do about itf
Any citizen who will carefully read the
Imperialism plank can answer the question.
Jefferson and jackson we're the kird of
"imperialists" who in their day and In this
one believed and believe in legitimate
American expansion, in which the Constj-
tuition of the United States applies to ac-
quired territory the instant national ea.er-
eighty does, for our sovereignty Is a cr.a-
ture OF the Constitution. as are all the in
situations and powers of our Government.
To territorial expansion the Kansas City
platform declares that the Democratic
party is not opposed. It is opposed. how
ever, to the imperial Crown Colonial system
introduced in Porto Rico, and to the treat
ment of that American territory as foreign
soil, for the benefit Of trusts and franchise
hooters, In open and fragrant defiance Of the
Constitution.
It is favorite argument with Republican
organs that Democrats protest loudly
against the trusts, but are unable to pre-
sent any feasible plan for their regulation
Or extinction. The Kansas City platform is
\ conclusive answer to such contentious.
It distinctly says:

We are afraid that or correspondent is
not as familiar as he should be with the
Constitution of the United States. The re-
cent situation in ST. Louis was adeplorable
one, but the fault did not lie with the
Federal Government It was the duty of
the Mayor of st. Louis. and after him the
Governor of Missouri, to preserve order in
the Southwestern metropolis. and only
after the latter failed and confessed his
failure could tho President act. Neither
Mayor Zeigenheim nor Governor Stephens
did his duty. The responsibility rests with
them.

To the Editor of The Times:

1t seems to be all right for the United States
Government TO protect American citizens from the
fury of mob in China, or any other foreign
country. There oughtn't be two opinions on that
point. But il it ought to and can do that, why
shouldn't it, and why can't it protect the lives
OF the citizens Of st. Louis from the fury Of a
mob in that city? And e it can, why doesn't it
do it. And why doesn't it punis, the u,urderers
there, as it means to punish murderers in China
1t seems strange that the life and property of an
American citizen living in n foreign country
and property of one who stays at home, pays
taxes in support of local and Federal governments
and otherwise adds to the wealth and glory Of
his country. How do these things strike you?

He found wonderful things in that
city-tombs and ancient inscriptions
and tools and implements of war. There
were arrowheads and stone hatchets
and old grinding rocks upon which the
tools were sharpened.
He found what he considers proof of
what drove these mysterious people
away from their homes in the cliffs, In
many of the rooms Of the buildings
were fire places. These rooms had large
wooden rafters. In one of the rooms
il was found that the rafters had fallen
into the fire place and the wood was
scorched. This would seem to indicate
that the buildings had been shaken by
! earthquakes, and that the people hac

The Result.

While the result of the election was
a %foregone conclusion, even the most
sanguine Republicans did not expect
the tremendous gains which Mckinley
made in the far west and the way he
held his own in the east. 1t seemed
utterly improbable that the American
people after four years of prosperity
such as this nation has enjoyed would
censure the present administration by
electing Bryan. There We're revolution
airy forces at work however and there
was such a befogging of issues that it
seemed likely that Bryan would make
some gains in the electoral college,
though not sufficient to elect him.. But
the good sense of the people manifested
itself in such overwhelming manner
that their verdict is not to be mistaken.
1t stands for expansion, honor to the
flag abroad and at home, good times,
honest money and the greatest amount
of liberty and happiness to the people
in general. What will become of the
wreck of the Democratic party and its
homogeneous elements Is not hard to
surmise for Bryan and his radical fol-
lowers Will be relegated to the rear
The country is to be congratulated on
the result.

oats the idea that the arid region can
be reclaimed and points to the limited
water supply and the few available res
ervoir sites. He says that only 5 to 10
per cent of the land can be reclaimed,
and even for that the outlay would be
enormous.
That the publication of these ideas by
so eminent an authority in a conserva-
tive magazine like the Geographical
Magazine, is apt to hurt the arid west
and also the cause of the national rec
lamation of the arid lands, is undoubt-
ed. And yet those ideas are one sided.
They take into account only the sur
face water and leave out of question
altogether the artesian water and the
underground flow of western rivers
which in most instances is much great
er than the surface flow. Even though
large reservoir sites are not as plentiful
as one would suppose from the topogra-
ply of the west, yet there are thousands
of smaller sites which a be utilized
at a small outlay of money. Expert
ments have proved that the minimum
of water necessary for successful irri-
cation is very small, and that with the
water flowing to waste in the arid west,
together with artesian wells and under-
ground streams, the whole arid region
may eventually be reclaimed. What
has been done. in comparatively small
areas can be done on a larger scale des-
pite the scientific assertions of a geol-
ogist or others whose business it is to
prove hat such a thing is impossible
just on the eve Of some Val Of less
scientific ~attainments, but of more
practical turn of mind, proving those
theories fallacious.

aled now only by the most densely pop
ulated quarters of u great cities.
The method by which DR.. Pritchett
arrives at his results is easy to under
stand in it's main principles. The law
of increase of population he states thus:
When not disturbed by
causes, such as emigration, wars, n
famines, the increase of population goes
on at a constantly diminishing rate.
And these extraneous causes, he says,
affect the growth of population through
the centuries very little.
During the last 100 years we have a
years of plenty and years OF want, GOOD
| times and hard times, wars and epidem-
les, decades when immigrants We're
many and when they were few. Yet
these factors of variation. he finds, in
some way have offset one another, for
our population has shown a regular and
orderly growth in accordance with the
general law stated.
From our population from 1890 to 1880
DR.. Pritchett has deduced a formula
whose approximate correctness Is
shown in comparing the population as
computed by it with the actual enum-
Grafton of each census. The discrepan-
cies thus found are surprisingly small,
In five out Of twelve censuses the obser-
we'd population has exceeded that com
puted by the Pritchett formula from
Al, 900 in 1900 to 975,0 900 in 1860. In sever
censuses the computed population ex'
ceeded the observed from 10000 in 1881
to 1875, 900 in 1900.
DR.. Pritchett states that his formula
gives 80 per cent, "a per cent, IL pc
cent, and a little less than 3 per cent a:
respectively ending in 1890, 1880, 1890
and 1900. The fact that he figured al
closely as IL, 900 to the actual popula
ton of 1890, while he was 1875, 900 owe
the actual population Of 1900, shows tina
he has not diminished his rate Of in
crease quite fast enough. He seems t.
have figured the increase for the las
decade at a little less than % per cent
whereas it was in fact a little less thai
. q per cent.
But suppose this error should reduc
DR.. Pritchett's rate for the decade end
:. ing 1900 from 8 per cent to l per cent
: Our population in 1900, according to hi
: formula, would still be 36, 1854, OOO, 900,
, total so enormous that the differenc
= between it and the 1882, 273, 900 compu
