The question: of extending the Chi
nese exclusion act for another 10 years
will come before the present congress
and Minister WI has been to see the
president about it and is arguing the
subject earnestly before the country,
unmindful of ,Emerson's observation
that you can't argue man out of po-
sition he was never argued into. The
simple fact is that, with reason OF
without, the policy of Chinese ex-
clusion cannot be reversed for a good

Able, vigorous and thoughtful, as
Allen, is the annual report of Secre-
tary Hitchcock of the Interior depart
ment document of some go pages.
Reviewing carefully our Indian rela-
tions and showing that outside the
five "civilized tribes" about one
fourth the whole number have now
been awarded land in Severalty and
placed on the road to citizenship, he
urges the rapid extension of this
policy, and the enlargement of the
commission to get through its Difficult
ties and intricacies, with educational
measures in equal pace. He rightly
regards our whole historic policy
treating the tribes as independent ma
tions, sovereignties within sovereign
ty as an error, and experience, compared
Central and South America, has Ger
tainly prove this. He gives extended
attention to forestry and artificial ir
rigation, and rightly argues that they
are parts of the same theory, because
irrigation cannot be made an endur-
ing success in the vast arid regions
of our West if the mountainous regions
and headwaters of streams are denud-
ed of their forest growth necessary to
preserve a steady and continuous sup
ply of water. In the far view present
policy means reckless destruction of
needed homes for scores of millions of
people, and he shows how law is di-

The Democratic sweep in the Boston
city election Tuesday, with 1S,00O.ma-
jority for Gen. Collins for mayor, the
largest the city has given for any
ticket for generation is a deserved
personal tribute to one of the broadest-
minded and highest idealed men in
public lie, an accomplished, eloquent
and brave gentleman, as Gen. Collins
is. But more than that; it isl full Of
ozone as demonstration of independ-

city matters which had Tin Serious
measure fallen under the domination
of a spoils machine in theeDemocracy !;
but though Mr. Harris personal integ-
rity is undoubted, it was quickly
found that the elements back of him
were more rapacious than the Demo
cratic machine ever had been, and all
the worse for 'prescriptive, "holier-
than thou" tendency7 among7 them.
The result was at once increased ex-
penses and taxes, bad work in the let
ting of contracts and a general raid
for all the spoils in sight. There is
just one way to kill this sort of thing,
and that is to vote it down when it
appears in control of any party, and
that is what the people of Boston have
now twice shown themselves ready to
do.

A new Philippine tariff is being
rushed through congress to meet the
emergency created by the Supreme
courts last insular decisions to the
effect that until congress acts there is
no right to tax them separately from
ourselves other words that annex
alton brought them in under the con-
stitution but that congress can put
them out. The effect of the decision
is apparently that all the duties here
tofore collected are illegal and must
be refunded, and it is worthy of note
how the "inspired' dispatches from
Washington tell of the delight" in
the Philippines at the news, though
the same dispatches a fortnight be
fore told us that people of all classes
were "pefrectly satisfied" with the
president made tariff The bill now
proposed, which is chiefly Senator
Lodges connection, makes the tariff
uniform on imports from this and all
other countries, though the low rates
are on articles most likely to come
from here, purports to be protective"
to Philippine interests and contains
the provision of the Porto Rico bill
that all duties collected, on the Ding
ley basis, at our ports on goods from
the PHILIPPINES shall go TO the Philip
pine treasury. The old principle that
4n- =
TYRANNY" is of course thrown to the
winds-all the old principles were long
ago-and benevolent amend made by
giving the taxed the benefit of the I
taxes. That is what King George also /
professed to do with his taxes l25
years ago.

Prohibition Victory?

While the temperance people of Col
dendale have the right to rejoice in their
victory at the last city election. the facts
are evident that their achievement
is barren OF results. SO far as outward
appearances go, no one who wishes to
imbibe in this dry" town of whiskev,
wine or beer need suffer long with thirst.
The drug stores are doing the business
and the city is minus the revenue.

What, then, is the remedy? Let the
state or nation manufacture pure liquor
and sell it at cost of production and dis
tribution, thereby eliminating the profit
there is in the business as private en-
terprise, and no individual will or can
engage in the liquor traffic. for there
would then be mo money in it, as no
one would buy adulterated LIQUOR which
the individual dealer would be Obliged

advertisement of some favorite drink.
The writer glanced over it and read the
following edifying notice: "Fifty yard

you drink the best whiskey that can be
obtained" Turning to friend he said,
THAT is an outrage to any respectable
people. 1t is indeed consistent with
what the orator is telling us OF our lib

overheard him murmured their approval
and smiled to think they had found an

liquors prohibited, but if a man is seen

ers frowned and looked disguised. Their
temperance advocate had degenerated
into socialistic crank. Queer isn't it?

New Zealand Notes.

In New Zealand men and women who
have reached the age OF IS years are en-
titled to a pension of % cents per day,
or 500 per year, providing their income
per year. This is not considered charity,
but citizens right. Thus the fear of
poverty, OF the poor house, the humil-
iation OF receiving charity is removed
In New Zealand students living at a
distance from the public schools ride to
and fro, while attending school, free. The
government owns the railways as we'll as
the schools and they think the free ride
no more unusual than free tuition. In
our enlightened country the government
owning the schools is all right, but to
own the railroads would be preposterous.
Deposits in the government savings
banks average $45 for every man, woman
and child, and there are no bank fail
ures, absconding cashiers, or no mil
lionaires to swell the average.
Some labor papers are counting it
great victory because the Nebraska legis-
lature has passed law prohibiting the
employment OF women for more than go
hours per week. In New Zealand more
than As hours is prohibited but that is
socialism and won't do for us.

Northern Express Company, the Seattle
Daily Times editor devotes nearly a
coulmn to an editorial in which he adj
vocates hanging to the nearest tree, !"
"killing in cold blood" and "filling full
of cold lead" as methods of stamping
out the crime of robbery in this en-
lightened century. While we do not
wish to appear as upholding the train
robber in his deeds of darkness, we cam
not see why one class of men should be
murdered Gin cold blood and another.
class of men with the same object in
view-that of obtaining something for
which nothing is given in return-called
profit in business (and which is all that
robbery consists of should go unpun-
ished. The express robbers took from
the company some thousands of dol
lars for which they gave no equivalent,
and slightly wounded three passengers
who dared to investigate the disturb
ance. They, according to the editorial
referred to, should be murdered, hung
or shot. A few days ago some business
men got together on the stock exchange,
specialized, manipulated prices, and
cleaned up a few hundred thousand dol
lars-forced the other fellows to stand
and deliver, bankrupting other business
men and bringing wreck, ruin and even
death to many homes. The successful
ones in this case are counted as shrewd
business men and financiers; but they
are legalized robbers, nevertheless.
Now, if obtaining something Tor which
nothing is given in return, whether by
appropriating the contents of an express
safe or manipulating prices on the stock
exchange is robbery, is not the enor-
nous profits (being something for which
nothing is given in return made by the
oil trust, the iron and steel trust, the
glass trust, the railroad trust, and the
smaller profits made by any company,
corporation, firm or individual doing
business for profit, also robbery, differ
ing only in method and degree? Rob-
berry, crime, in any form, committed for
profit, cannot be stamped out by any
kind of punishment. The surest way is
to make the social conditions such that
private profit will be impossible, and the
environments of the youth OF the land
such that there would be no probability
OF their eventually becoming criminals
in any form. We believe that the pub
lie ownership of all industries, doing
away with private profit and furnishing
employment for all the people, would
eventually do away with crime.

Amid all the array OF wreck and ruin
on Wall street in stocks and bonds and
margins, is it not little queer that
none OF its debasing, soul-racking ef-
fects are chargeable to the manipulation
OF stocks or bonds OF the United States
postal system? Can you not see that if
the properties in which all the disturb
ance is created were owned and OPP
Grated as is the postal system that no
such conditions could exist, that none
would make fortunes out OF the misery OF
others, OF and none would lose fortunes?
But then perhaps it would be an insane
idea to want to have things different.
