marked feature of the present indus
trial struggle.
The American trusts are playing a
cut throat game in trying to secure
control of the European markets. They
reduce the prices abroad, and make the
American consumer bear the loss. This
they can do by means of the Dingley
tariff, which prevents the foreign pro-
ducer from getting any compensating
benefits in the American market. We
cannot and Will not yield our industrial
supremacy to any other country, but

A writer in thu Words Work for April.
Arthur Goodrich. presents the fo.lowins
pen picture of Charles NJ. Schwab, the
man who at 80 years of age is drawing a
sa,ary of million dollars year:
He believes in work. just enough work,
but no more. At night he tiles to free
himself from the days cares. He enjoys
his home: he has a fine library of books
hot a library Of fine books; the theater
attracts him; he loves music. From
these he gets his rest and change. Often
he will spend spare moments With his
violin, and he still p avs the piano, just
as he used to for the friars at Loretto.
His handsome home is hung with chef
d'aeuvres which he has chosen. not be-
cause they are we'll known, but because
ne likes them. He is sincere here as at
his desk.
He is just the common man among
men, keen, practical man of business,
careful, though daring man in the game
of finance, but socially considering him
self distinctly one of the people,-and
this, too is part of his secret. The man
appears on the surface: stocky figure
dressed like the cleancut, sensible bust
ness man that he is; full, young look
ing face. with a pair of keen brown eyes
that take in everything at a glance
quick, tense wax, and frank, quiel
speech. Gentle and courteous in man
ner. but with distinct impression of De.
cislon and firmness in reserve. E.-t
Mr.. Schwab is interested in the young
men. He Is a young man himself ,-Only
thirty nine,-and he understands them
He is very democratic-a thorough goot
fellow when business is out of the way
He is clean man. He uses neither to-
bacco nor liquors to any extent In fact
he doesn't have time. That is another
of his secre.s-that he has time only fol
the necessary things.

A co1oRED MANS ACHIEVEMENT

At the present time, there is but one
co,ored commissioned officer in the Unit
ed States army. Capt. Charles Young. of
the Ninth cavalry. whose career at West
Point. where he graduated in 1889, is we'll
remembered by those who have followed
the course of events at the military aca-
deny. Capt Young will have this dis
tinction but short time longer. a col
ored soldier. Benjamin o. Davis. also Of
the Ninth cavalry. having just comp.et-
ed his examination at Leavenworth for A
commission in the regular army. H.
passed with honors. averaging 81 per
cent Mr. Davis will be the first colore1
so; Ter to rise fl ON the ranks to a COM
mission. He has a fine record. When the
war between this country and Spain
broke out he received a commission in
volunteer regiment and was commended
for his conduct. Determining to profit
by his experience he next enlisted as :
priva'e in the Ninth infantry. and having
lad the advantage Of a first class educa-
ton. went in for commission. Should
his army career hereafter be as credita-
be as that of Capt Young, he will Pc
fleet honor upon his race and his pro-
fession., Capt. Young is now on college
duty at Wherefore College, Ohio, and
his active service has been entirely with
the co.ored regiments.
The success of Mr.. Davis will greatly

cept through West Point.

would certainly be bad thing for the
Philippines. But after all, do the anti
imperalists want 1t? Do they really de-
sire supreme court declaration that the
Philippine archipelago is under the fed
cral constitution as well as under the
federal flag? If it is under the federal
constitution. how Is 1t ever going to be
gotten out from under it? How can it
be restored to the Philippine people
themselves?
If the Journal were an ''imperialist"
newspaper. bent on making the Philip
pines irretrievably and forever Ameri-
can. 1t could ask for not more Clnch-
ing guarantee of this than a supreme
court decision that the Philippine islands
stand in law on exactly the same basis
as California or Oregon. If the Phil
ippine islands are American territory,
as our western states are American ter
rtory. how are they ever going to be
alienated?
This is a question to which are anti
imperialist friends should devote some
very sober thinking. 1t seems to the
Journal that it is best for them and
best for all concerned that the supreme
court should proclaim that the constitu-
ton does not extend over the Philippine
archipelago. but that while the islands
are temporarily, at least. in American
guardianship. they are not an integral
part of the United States. Such deci-
sion as this would leave US free to fix
their status for the future as their best
interests and desires might determine.
But If the highest Of our judicial tr-
bunals decides that the Philippines are
ours Internationally. just as New York
or Iowa is ours. then the question of
the status of the Philippines is closed.
for there is no precedent and presum-
ably there is no warrant for the giving
away of any part of the constitutional
domain of the American republic-Yos-
ton Journal.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republicans of the city of Butte in
convention assembled. view with pardon
able pride the past history of the republi-
can party. and feel assured that such
past history is guaranty of its future
actions.
We begin the twentieth century with
republican national administration. ut
whose head are the two great repre-
sentative American citizens, William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
We arraign the democratic party of
the city of Butte for it's utter misman-
agement and ipcompetency in the affairs
of municipal government, as shown by
their utter disregard for public health,
furnishing to us nothing but dirty
streets.
For their contempt for public morals,
as shown by the open and notorious vio-
lations of law in the city of Butte.
For their lack of a proper apprecia-
ton of the advance movement of the
twentieth century in public morals and
good government. as shown by their in
competent and inefficient police regula-
tions in the city of Butte.
For their inefficient police officers who
have become but the mere political ma
chine of the present administration. as
cacy of politics rather than the atten-
ton to public duty.
For their failure to provide suitable
ordinances TO improve the condition of
the community. thus failing to insure a
condition of advantage to which every
citizen is entitled.
For their open and notorious disregard
of the fact that a public Office is a
public trust, as demonstrated by the
fact that the present democratic city
administration believe that "a public
office is a private snap"
The republican party. as in the past,
assures the citizens of Butte that in the
future it's actions. and the actions of it's
promises, if elected to office. will follow
those principles of government which
are best calculated to advance the inter
ests of the city of Butte.
We favor the better enforcement OF
law. and the advancement of good order
and morals of the community in which
we live.
We are in favor of clean public thor.
oughfares.
We favor police force made up o1
competent persons.
We favor municipal improvement.
such as will make Butte "the metropoli:
of the west"
We favor the enactment Of such or
dinances as will deal justly with al
persons, whether in private or bushes:
life.
We favor the enactment of such or
dirances as will levy just and equa
taxation upon all persons engaged in the
same class of business
We favor the principles of government
which would select public officials be-
cause of their efficiency rather than be-
cause of political pull
T" the end that these principles OF
government may be put into operation
we ask the co-oreration and support OF
every c,uzen of Butte to secure the cleo.
ton of the republican nominees of the
convention.

Billings Gazette: 1t is useless to say
that gambling has stopped because the
law forbids the practice. Everybody
knows the contrary, even though every
body does not gamble, and the officers
know it. or at least should know it bet
ter than anyone else. At their instance
probably as much as at the instance
of anybody the new law was passed
and they should now give the people
proof of the sincerity they nave been
processing so long and inaugurate a Wig
orous campaign against gambling all

DOES IT FOLLOW THE flag?

Surely not in the Philippines and per-
haps not in Porto Rico can any large
commercial and industrial revival be
looked for until the United States SUI
preme court renders it's decision in the
most important case which has come
before it for a quarter Of century
whether the constitution follows the flag
into our new dependencies.
The Journal understands that the mo-
mentous verdict Of the greatest of Amer
lean tribunals is not likely to be prepared
this spring or rendered before autumn.
The supreme court next Monday takes
a recess for two weeks. 1t is the ex-
pectation that the court will soon begin
the consideration of what is known as
the insular test cases. So complex and
important are the questions involved that
it is believed in Washington that the
justices cannot reach the end of their
labors by the middle of May. when the
term closes for the long summer vaca-
ton. The supreme court does not re-
assemble until October. so that at least
six months are likely to elapse before
the American people can know any
more than they know now whether the
fundamental law of the United States is
also the fundamental law of a Malay
archipelago.
The anti-imperialist brethren are not
saying so much about the courts de-
cision as they were. They are not quite
