Western Merchants Aroused.

A dispatch from Chicago says:
"Prominent Western merchants, all
heavy shippers of merchandise, are
preparing to call to account before the
Interstate commerce commission, the
heads of the various railroad combina-
tions and the community of interests
alliances of the trunk lines of the
country. Charges are made that, fol-
lowing these movements of consolida-
ton, freight rates have been advanc-
ed from 80 to 0per cent through quiet
and organized manipulation of the va
riouS classifications of commodities.
Merchandise formerly in class has
been placed under class 2, with con-
sequent increase of 80 per cent in ship
ment charges, and SO on through the
voluminous tabulated claSsiications
of all commodities. -
If these merchants had thought OF
this before the last election possibly
they would have voted differently
They voted for the, trusts so they
ought not kick about it now.

WHO wound ElauI Down tfe Flag.

The American flag has been hauled
down in China. The young soldier
who was the first to plant that flag
upon the walls of Pekin was honored
by an appointment by the president
to be cadet-at-large to West Point.
Immense sums of money were spent
and considerable suffering was entail
ed in the effort to raise the flag in
China, and yet after all this the flag
has been hauled down.
We remember that not long ago a
distinguished republican, in discuss
ing the Philippine question, wanted to
know who would haul down the flag.
as though the hauling down of the
flag meant diShonor. The hauling
down Of the flag in China did not in
the least diShonor it, because there it
was not the representative of right
fully and honestly acquired sovereign
ity. Neither will there be dishonor
in hauling down the flag in the Phil
ippines where it now represents gov
eminent without consent of the gov
erned and taxation without repreSen-
tatiOn.--EX,

The Constitution and the Flag.

tThe constitution follows the flag. !"
says one of our contemporaries this
morning.
"The constitution does not follow
the flag" declares another
"The constitution does not neces-
=sarily follow the flag" asserts third.
"Porto Rico is not part of the
United States, according to fourth.
"Porto Rico is under the constitu-
tion," proclaims a fifth.
1t is not surprising that confusion
worse COMPOUNDED" should reign in the
journalistic mind after reading the
several majority and minority opinions
of the United States supreme court in
insular cases. In none of these was
the decision of the court unanimous,
or, it may be added, clearly defined.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1901-06-28

the doctrine that all men are created
equal and governments can derive
their powers only from the consent,
of the governed had been proclaimed.
How could the Filipino leaders and
people have believed otherwise than
what they did beIieve-that the
United States, true to its traditions
and ideals and moved by the immor
tai truths which they had incOrpor-
ated in the charter of their own lib
critics, would having driven out their
oppreSsors, help them on to freedom
and independence? They fought and
won every battle that was won against
the Spaniards, nerYed by this belief.
Theirs was the glory, as we'll as the
! death and suffering, of all the land
battles in the Philippines against the
Spaniards. With what result? The
United States having subjugated
them, in turn refuses to recognize
| them as citizens, denies them all pro-
lection from the constitution and will
on the Fourth Of July initiate a civil
government over them in which they,
as subjects. will have no voice and to
maintain which they must supply the
money.
The past three years have indeed
been mOmentus ones for the United
States. Brute force has been apothe-
oized. The statue of liberty has been
cast out from the temple and that of
Janus installed in it's place. Is it to
be wondered at that some oppose the
shooting of crackers upon the Fourth
Of July and others denounce the
Declaration of Independence as the
breathing of anarchy.-Rocky Noun

The republican state offic ials includ-
ing the director of the state bureau OF
employment are very mad because a
New York alderman has proposed to
send out 5000 of that city's unem
ployed to this state to help take care
of the harvests. The republicans who
have been so busy shouting prosper
ity," boasting of our big wheat crop,
and insisting that every man in the
state who wants job is already en-
ployed, now seem greatly shocked be-
cause New York took them in earnest
They have repeatedly asserted that
there is not an unemployed man IN
the state; that the demand for har-
vest hands would be so great and the
supply so limited that much of the
crop would go to waste for lack OF
labor and when the New Workers who
have the unemployed with them al
ways, propose to even things up, the
indignation Of our good republican
prosperity ShouterS knows no bounds.
Says one of them: ''No more serious
mistake could be made than to have
5000 men and women sent to Kansas.
The harvest season lasts but a few
weeks and then there is a surplus OF
laboring men. 1t would simply mean
increasing the army of the unem-
ployed in Kansas, for nine months in
the, year. And then the idle flock tC
the large cities. 1t would mean that
the cities would have to materially in
crease their police force during the
winter months to care for the new
army of ~hoboeS that would augment
the already large number that infeSt
them during cold weather" Attorney
General Goddard, State Auditor Cole
and other officers expressed similar
sediments. The strange thing about
it ALL is that these fellows should
ever be incautiOus enough to admit
that Kansas already has her share OF
the unemployed-stranger still, that
they will admit that there could be
found 5000 unemployed men in the
entire United States. much less in the
single city of New York, under the
gracious reign of the emperor. Would
MT their campaign speeches reaC
rather funny along side of their pro
testations like the above?

Chicago, June GA burly, muscu-
lar man running toward the old ca
nal with screaming woman in his
arms; crowd of gaping spectators
who knew instinctively the mans
purpose and who made no effort to
interfere; a policeman on the sanitary
district 400 feet away and trying vain
~ to reach the woman; then swing
of the mans arms, and barbaric ven
geance had been exacted. While the
spectators lined the bank of the canal
and watched the woman's dying
struggles in the water few feet away
the murderer stood and watched the
bubbles coming to the surface. The
policeman reached the bank. He had
his choice of capturing the man or at
tempting to save the woman. He
chose the latter course, and the muir
derer and the crowd watched him.
No one offered assistance and the po-
liceman, try as he might, could not
save her. Then the murderer turned
and left, the policeman still trying to
reach the victim.
Charles White, the murderer, made
| his escape. Georgia Page, the woman,
was not taken from the canal until
she was dead. In the little settlement
near Lockport, where White and
Georgia Page lived, the woman was re-
| garded as the mans wife. They had
quarre1ed frequently because of his
| jealousy. The woman had made prep
arations to leave the cabin, and he
learned of it before she could make
her escape. 1t was nearly midnight
when the door of the cabin was opened
suddenly and White stepped out with
the struggling woman held tightly in
his arms. He walked swiftly to the
| edge of the canal, a short distance
| away. A crowd followed him, and no
threats of his were necessary to show
| his purpose. When he reached the
! edge of the water he tore the wo-
mans arms from the clutch on his
clothing, swung back his arms and
threw her over the bank. Her cries
redoubled as she struck the water,
! but the spectators stood impressive
and watched her dying struggles. Po-
liceman Dali reached the scene while
they stood watching the struggle in
the water He shouted for assistance
to rescue the woman and arrest the
man. Not a man on the bank moved
to help him. Dali, without help, tried
to prevent the murder rather than
arrest the murderer. As White saw
the woman sink the last time and
saw the bubbles come to the top and
then stop coming, he knew that his
vengeance was accomplished. With
the policeman still watching for the
woman to come to the surface again
he turned and pushed the spectators
aside. No one stopped his going and
soon he was lost in the darkness.
In the opinion of the police no murder
in Chicago has been accomplished by
such merely brute methods, none Sc
primitive in it's sayagery and barbaF-
ism. None has been committed with
a crowd of passive spectators wateh=
ing it with almost idle curiosity:
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1901-06-28

In each the justices divided almost
equally. In one of the two leading
cases the majority held that the Ding
ley tariff could not apply to Porto
Rico because it was not foreign
country, but territory of the United |
States In the other it ruled that for
tariff purposes the island was not
part of the United States.
Five justices agreed that the For
aker act was constitutional. but dis
agreed as to the reasons why. The
opinion of the court read by Justice
Brown proceeds on the theory that
Porto Rico is beyond and congress
above the constitution. The other
four seem to concede this only so far
as tariff legislation is concerned. Diff
fering from Justice Brown in reason
ing and scope of the decision, it is not
clear why they agreed to the embodi-
ment of his viewsNin the prevailing
opinion of the court, when all might
have conceded in the simple result
and then presented their individual
views in individual opinions.
1t may be we'll said that such re-
suit leaves much to be desired. When
neither lawyers nor laynen can agree
as to the meaning or scope of the va
rious rulings, and the justices them
selves are in conflict, it is obvious that
there must be a confusion and uncer-
tainty which leave the door wide open
to future doubt and discussion. Until,
however, the court reverseS itself or
more clearly defines and settles the
constitutional issues raised, the prac-
tical effect of its judgement in the
Downes case Will be that beyond the
states the constitution does not apply
to the national domain, in the matter
of general government, but that there
the power of congress is plenary and
its will supreme.
In announcing this conclusion JUS
tice Brown compared the power of
congress with British colonial sover-
eighty. But this simply begs the
question, for the evident reason that
Great Britain is monarchy without
and the United States a republic with
a written constitution.-New York

'The Ameer," the much heralded
comic opera with Frank Daniels in the
title role will be here Saturday night
The production was pronounced by the
press Of New York last winter, 1.-THE
comic opera hit of the season." Frank
Daniels is said never to have appeared
to such excellent advantage. 1t seems
impossible that Daniels can be funniei
than when last here. Yet those who
have seen MIN in "The Ameer' say
that certainly he is to be credited with
such an achievement. He is much In
love with his part in the new opera
he says. 1t fits him capitally and en-,
ables him to display his unique comedy
talent to the best of advantage
Daniels is called on to interpret the
character OF the Ameer of Afghanistau
whose waking hours seem chiefly oc,
cupied first with circumventing the
plots of those who would take his
life; and, second, with raising casl
by means of Il crimes bureau, to de,
fray his personal expenses. In thus
seeking for ways and means to pro
long his life, he gets mixed up in q
maze of complications from which
naught but the skill of the two clever
librettists, Frederic Ranken and Kirke
La Shelle could ever extrlcate them
Mr.. la Shelle Is also the composer of
the light opera hit, "The Princess
Chic" AS Daniels is never SO funny
as when impersonating n man in trorl.
Bile, ii can readily be appreciated that
in "The Ameer" he will be seen in
