plain Duty" Done.

The "plain duty" which our democratic
friends talked so much about in last years
campaign, has now become reality,
through the proclamation yesterday OF
free trade between the United States and
Porto Rico. The president was right
when he said that the course OF duty
dictated such policy towards this island
possession of ours; but congress and the
president were also right when they saw
the wisdom and necessity of postponing
tree commerce until stable government
could be inaugurated and revenue laws
enacted for the needs of the island, and
of setting aside the proceeds of the light
tariff duties levied between Porto Rlco
and the United States for the possible
needs of the newly acquired territory
during the critical period of making per
manent provision for its needs.
All through the trying times OF the
Spanish American war, and the more
trying days following it, with the new
problems presented by the acquisition OF
new territory inhabited by strange peo-
ple. unaccustomed to our American in
situations. President McKinley's has
been the one pre-eminently clear nina
that has grasped the situation complete
" and he has been controlled through
out by a definite fixed policy that is IN
these days rapidly coming to its compile
ton. The administration has been a
consistent and firm one, and we believe
time will prove its wisdom.
Our plain duty" towards Porto Rico
has been and is being performed, and
the islanders are prospecting as never be-
fore in their history. They are coming
to recognize the beneficence of American
control, and will become as patriotic ana
will cling to our institutions as closely as
do the inhabitants of any other of the vast
territory we have acquired from time to
time since the foundation of our govern
ment.
Our "plain duty" as it may become
evident from time to time, will also be
unhesitatingly done towards all our
island possessions.
The American people can have no
reasonable fault to find with the present
republican administration, either from
the standpoint of foreign policy or do
nestle management, with all the great
internal prosperity and blessings that
have been ours since Mr.. McKinley's
first Inauguration.

Painting Black Eyes.

"The painting Of blackened eyes, of

a man of experience, ''is so well estab-

a place on the avenue farther west, and

The Odd ShilIings.

There is very little difference be-
tween pound and a guinea; only a
shilling, and yet the keen business man
insists that the shilling shall be consid-
cred. After Thackeray's series Of lee
lures on the four Georges had been
delivered in London, Willert Beale
says that he called upon the novelist
in Onslow square with a check for
$3.50.
whats this, w. B.?' cried Thack-
cray, reading the check. Pounds?
Our agreement says guineas, and
guineas 1t must be-"
"You are aware that the lectures so
far have involved very heavy losses"
said Beale alphabetically.
That's not my affair."" said Thack-
cray. Il don't know what occult
means you have to protect yourself
from loss. Guineas, w. r.! Guineas
it must be, and nothing else. l must
have the shillings."
And the shillings were sent him I'M
mediately.

Tests of Culture.

The chemist Liebig proposed TO meas
ure the standard of civilization by the
consumption of soap, a creation which
would put the inhabitants Of north
Holland at the head of all civilized ma
lions. As a more reliable test Edmund
About suggested the sale Of steel pens,
the socialist Bebel the frequency of re-
form meetings, DIR. Bernard the use of
undergarments, luxury unknown to
the semicivilized tribes of Asia and
South America; Professor Ebers the

In view of what Maclay, the historian,
is reported to have written concerning
the operations of our army and navy
around Santiago, it would seem pity
that Maclay could not have been in the
places of both Shafter and Schley-he
knows so much more than these emf
nently successful commanders. Maclay
evidently has never learned the truth
that sit is easier to criticize the greatest
thing superbly than to do the least thing
indifferently."

The Morning Sentinel is a new daily
newspaper at South Haven, an expansion
of the old weekly Sentinel, and is a
bright little paper, published by the

a precarious undertaking to publish a

Local Option.

The facts in the case of the Pabst
Brewing company VS.. Napier, published
in The True Northerner have been pro-
vocative of much discussion over the
county. The True Northerner believes
the condition of affairs noU in Van Buren,
county is such as To merit wide and
free discussion of the efficacy of the
local option law, and especially of avail
able means for its better enforcement II
it is to be kept in force. There is grave
danger of the law becoming a complete
farce-indeed, there is now much of the
"comic opera" element in it, We invite
signed communications in this matter,
and shall publish from time to time
suchcommunications with editorial com
ments on them and on the prevailing
conditions in the county, as well as eX-
tracts from other county papers, either
favorable to or against the law.
What ought to be done?
~
The Lawrence Times last week said:
The True Northerner recently IN Its
usual strong editorial work called atten-
ton to the fact that Ed. Napier, self
styled druggist of South Haven, had been
sued by Milwaukee brewing company,
and in the showing of the case 1t ap-
peared that this company had sold this
smooth, so-called druggist nearly $4,000
worth of liquid damnation in Ii months
time. The True Northerner commented
appropriately upon this lamentable and
ruinous state of affairs, conducted IN
violation of law and decency, the out
growth of which is outward drunken
debauchery and terrible oath making In
the presence of innocent children, that
innocence which appeals TO manhood for
protection-not insults to its purity.
Drunkenness in Van Buren,
county has largely increased by reason
of the fine arts practiced by the blind
tigers, so numerous. This state OF affairs
has about ruined the efficacy of the local
option law. While it is true violators
have been arrested and fined, this has
only added zest to the traffic, and now
we are the subject of laughter and Jeers
! throughout the state. The law must be
| either better enforced or defeated-aS IT
is the Times believes that the open saloon
could not be worse. 1t was
hoped that the local option law would
prove restrictive measure, but 1t has
turned out to be dangerous one. What
is the remedy for this farcical state of al
fairs? There is neither saloon license
in the treasury nor sobriety in the county
but we have the tiger Had it not
been for the disclosures made in thl
Napier lawsuit the public would have
remained in ignorance as to the volume
of the beer traffic alone in this county.
The Times urges the press of Van Buren,
to a free discussion of the use and abuse
of the local option law its enforcement
or defeat, Let us not longer rest under
the appelation of land of tigers. p
! When the crack shots of the press
get after these tigers public indigna.
ton can be so aroused that much good
will result. And this is worthy the efforts
of the press. The Times commends The
True Northerner and Advance for their
articles upon this matter. Let us not 10y
our silence give consent to the blind
tiger state of affairs in Van Buren,
! county"

The South Haven Morning Sentinel
gravely announces that it will be "repub-

hard to know where they are at politically

affiliations and political principles found
natural and effective expression.
