WHAT WE HEAR FROM AssINI-

ssDon't Think OF Coming, But Gomez
To the Editor:
The above is the emphatic man.
ner in which "a friend in York
ton writes to friend near st. Paul,
Minnesota, and it is pretty nearly
right, too, when the advantages
that Western Canada offer to those
seeking homes. The Assiniboia dis
trict is one of the best. The writer
from whose letter we quote goes on to
say:
"John, if you miss this chance you
are foolish. for you can get out cheap
er when there are so many coming,
and would not tell you to come if
thought you could not do well, and if
you don't come in the spring you will
have to go away back, for you do not
want to think that there is no one liv-
ing out here but us. ] saw nicer build
ings out here than I ever saw before.
and if the country was no good what
would they want them for? John, if
you sold everything you have and
come out here you would be worth
more than ever you were before, and if
you can bring your team, you can get
anything you want on tick, and when
they do that with strangers they are
not afraid they can't make enough to
pay for it. I saw as nice wheat as I
ever saw in my life and if they could
not grow grain what would the -four
mill be for, and it cost $4,000
Now this was what Mr.. Thomas
Fitzpatrick, of Yorkton, Assiniboia,
Western Canada, wrote to friend.

whether or not We should control their for
eign relations.
Porto Rican Ontlool<.
TN my opinion We have more TO fear
from Porto Rico than from Cuba Porto
Rico Is a part of the United States. and 1t
will probably not be long before it Is flooded
with ambitious lawyers and other carpet
baggers. who will soon be in control Of its
affairs to q greater or less extent.
Then there will come a time when the
political parties will have to consider the
question of admitting Porto Rico into the
Union The carpet-baggers and others will
be in control. and think you will ind the
conditions are worse than We ever had with
any of tSe Rocky Muntain Territories that
have become States. We will have much
worse people to deal with than the Populists
Of the West
warmth Breeds Venality.
This will be due In a measure to the
fact that Americans or any Of the North
ern races cannot retain their energy IN
warm climates. Their children do not live.
while those Of the natives multiply. The
Northron becomes a very different man. He
becomes venal. I am afraid that when
Porto Rico Is ready to be admitted into the
Union the island will be in the hands OF
men of this stamp.
Then what do we find? She will have
the same representation IN tne tuiteu otdteS
as New York. She will probably send two
Senators. representatives Of the class I have
described. They will be venal and pur-
chasable and represent a people very differ
ent from Americans. Taking this view Of
It, the great danger We have to fear is
from Porto Rico.
As England In India.
THE PHILIPPINES will probably have to
maintain an armed force there for a number
OF years There will always be more or less
guerrilla warfare going on, and We will be
in somewhat the same position that England
ID in India. where she Is always fndipg II
necessary to suppress an uprising OF one
sort or another.
"England's experience has been much the
same as ours will be In Porto Rico and the
Philippines-that is. in regard to the men
who are sent or go out to those countries. 1t
is a well-known fact that the children OF
EnRIishmen in India do not live to be more
than years old and 1t Is now the custom
to send them 10 England when very young"
Then you do not think our experience IN
the Philippines has been worth the enor-
nous cost?"
THAT would depend on how you tried to
balance the account" said Mr.. EdmundS-
If you put against the cost the loss Of
life, the hardships our soldiers have un-
develop among men SO far away and under
such conditions. / certainly do not think
II has been worth the cost"
Imperialism an Issue.
In reference to the next political campaign
Mr.. Edmunds believes the trusts will work
out the problem themselves in manner.
and that the problem of Imperialism will
be an important question.
He says II the Democratic party could
suggest something that would appeal to the
people as a remedy for the trusts IL would
not have much difficulty in winning the eiec
tion, but that he cannot look to the Demo-
Gratis for that.
