DfscOrdant Anti-ImperfaIis

The articles by ex-senator Edmunds and
ex-Secretary Boutwell, in the North Ameri-
can Review for August present a curious
diversity of comment from the anti-im-
perialist standpoint upon the Supreme
Court decisions In the insular tariff cases.
Mr.. Edmunds seems to accept Justice
Browns opinion and reasoning in the
Downes case as that of the court, and on
that basis pronounces happy the states of
the northwest that have ceased to oe ter
ritories' and are delivered from the des-
potisn OF Congress whose
power over their lives, liberties, fortunes
and happiness was restrained by no con-
stitutional barrier" Mr.. Boutwell, shows
that Justice Browns contention on this
point was not sustained by any of his as
sociates, and that Congress is, under the
decisions, restrained by constitutional bar
riers in dealing with territories as well
as states; and in the light of the opinions
rendered Mr.. Boutwell, Is hopeful that all
of our recent acquisitions will soon be or
ganized and Incorporated as territories and
thus be made an integral part of the United
States as those words are employed In GER
tain sections OF the Constitution.
Mr. Boutwell, Is clearly the more accurate
in his Interpretation OF the tribunals ver-
dict. But his conclusion suggesting a vir-
tual triumph for anti-imperialist principles
in that verdict Is not so convincing. The
imperialistic contention, in substance, was
that the power should be recognized in
Congress to treat recently annexed terri
tory. for so long a period as the national
and territorial welfare might require, as
not within the United States in the sense
In which those words are employed in the
revenue uniformity and national citizenship
clauses of the Constitution. The Supreme
Court has confirmed this power in Con-
gress. which Is also given the discretion of
taking such action with reference to in
cooperating the annexed territory as will
cause this power of discrimination to cease
The power exists until Congress itself
takes the steps defined by the Supreme
Court which will terminate 1t. This au-
thority Is all that is required for the pro-
lection of the national welfare, and is all
that any imperialist should desire or ex-
pect. The point at issue was the existence
Of power. capable of being exercised when
needed: and the decision against the anti
fnperfalists on this issue is not at all weak
ened even IL Congress In the present case
should In its discretion exercise the power

The Presidency of Cuba.

The people of Cuba would do well to
read mark. learn. and inwardly digest"
the letter which Senor Estrada Palma has
addressed to Senor Figueredo on the sub
ject OF the Cuban presidency. 1t shows
clear insight into the whole Cuban situa-
ton and is at once call to duty and
warning. The Cubans may see by reflect
ing upon its suggestions not only what Is
essential to success in inaugurating inde-
pendent government for themselves, but
how swift and certain failure will be If
they neglect refuse to work together at
the start for the common good. Govern
ment by parties is a good thing. and party
contests are necessarily spirited and some
times acrimonious; but intense party spirit
cannot be fndulged in at the inception of
governmental enterprise without injury to
everybody. United we stand; divided, we
fall The Cubans would do well to believe
that unless they unite on some general fea-
lures of government they cannot hope to
stand at all.
The fact is that again, at this time, the
Cubans have need of some of the spirit of
concession to one another that character
lied them at the time of the armed revolt
against Spain. There were different views
prevailing then as to the best plan Of pro-
cedure but they were compromised into
one workable line of action; and that was
adopted and 1t led to success. The COM
mon enemy was of more moment than the
opinions of any one leader. no matter what
the measure of his devotion to Cuba. And
so there is the necessity now for compro-
mise of views on the subject of the new
government. The common good ought to be
of more moment than the opinions of any
one leader or set of leaders. and il that is
not ascertained in a spirit of liberation and
concession, and plan of procedure
adopted which shall insure harmony be-
tween the executive and the legislative de-
partments In starting the wheels to turn
ing Cuba's future will not spell prosperity.
Nothing Is more safely to be predicted
than that.
Senior Palma speaks modesty of his own
abilities for a man who has lived for some
years in the United States and been in con-
tact with our politicians. There Is no
leader in either party with us who does
not feel himself equal to the duties Of the
presidency of the United States and is not
willing to offer bond for their faithful and
successful performance. But Cuba is not
America and Senor Palma knows his own

Queues.

A serious proposition has been advanced
recently in this country by the Chinese re-
form leaders, calling for a general cutting
off of queues in the interest Of progress.
1t is believed that several thousand China
men will respond to the summons by sacri-
ficing their pigtails on the altar Of reform.
This means. of course, more than a mere
surrender of a personal adornment. 1t
means that the queueless Chinaman can
not return to his own country until the re-
form has taken root there In official soil.
Curtailment was one of the radical meas
ures proposed by Kwang Su in the days of
his reform enterprise but 1t was not for
mally promulgated and bore no results.
The queue is described by some writer's on
Chinese affairs as really "a badge of SER
Witty, having been decreed by the Man
churian conquerors 1t is worn, however,
today by Manchus and Cinnamon alike. and
it must have lost its significance If 1t was
ever thus meant to denote the subject race.
1t is difficult to see what advantage IS to
be gained in behalf of real progress in
China by the curtailment of all the China
men in America Reform is not wanted
here. but in the home country, and even
there the abandonment of the queue will
not Of itself signify much unless the re-
forms strike deep at the roots of the evils
of which civilization complains. The denu-
dation of the Chinese head might perhaps
follow as a result of a reform, but it is
surely not to be considered as a token of
advancement at this stage 1t would be
better, indeed, to do nothing to prevent the
return to China of the celestials who have
imbibed modern ideas here. and who might
serve as missionaries of the new thought
of the western world among their country
men. Queueless, they would be objects of
scorn, If they escaped official rebuke alive
China must be brought to reform through
some other medium than the scalp.

Still in the Future.

When we've gotten China quiet,
When the Beers are whipped for keeps
When the anarchist quits bowling
And the dynamite sleeps:
When the man who makes the weapons
Is no longer subsidized
When we don't hate one another
Then we'll all be civilized.
But never mind my halo;
You can let my harp De still:
I won't need any crown as yet;
Perhaps, some day, will.
OF course Well all be civilized,
A happy, harmless crew:
But ere we reach that blessed state
Well wait a year or two.

In the matter Of public baths the aver
age American city is barbaric. In New
Jersey the only decent public bathing ia
cilities exist in Newark, and these are
comparatively limited. A city as large as
Camden has no public baths Japan is
looked upon by us as semi-civilized, and,
therefore, inferior. But in the city of
Toxic alone there are more than 800 public
baths. We can go to Japan to learn how
to be publicly clean. We sum up the re-
suits Of the last two thousand years of hui
man experience in the word progress"
But in public cleanliness we have progress
ed crab fashion Twenty centuries ago the
cities of the Roman empire contained nu-
merous magnificent public baths. The
state expected every citizen to wash. We
don't need the elaborate Roman system OF
baths, but we do need bathing houses for
the general public and baths for the school
children, the latter more especially In the
districts where the poor abound. The sue
cess of a recent experiment Of baths In a
school house in New York will serve to
introduce baths In other public schools In
that city. Perhaps also private philan-
thropy will. in this respect. come to the
aid Of the school authorities.

Prevention of Malaria.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Just how the building up of cities and
the consequent draining Of fresh water
pools and swamps drives away malaria
Is shown in that, as Commissioner John
b. Cosby of the board Of health Of New
York points out 'out of an estimated pop
ulation this year in the five boroughs of
3.536,517 we have had only fourteen cases
of death attributed to malaria. Post-mor-
tenn examinations would probably reveal
that those subjects had other complica-
tions" This shows that If you keep the
Misunderstanding mosquitoes from breeding
you keep down the chance Of infection,
and on the other hand, with no infected
material in the Shape of malarial patients
available, the pathogenic mosquito is un-
able to become an agency in the transmits
sion of disease, so that once clean up a re-
gion Of malaria and it will stay cleaned up.
as the disease cannot originate by itself In

The Balloon Experiments.

Santos-Dumont's painful experience yes
terday demonstrates the danger now at
tendant upon the use Of gas bag as the
basis Of aerial navigation. The inventor
explains that the bag was not sufficiently
filed to render 1t stable against q pun Of
air. but the fact remains that when the
bag Is filled to the safety point 1t offers an
unyielding surface to the wind. and is
therefore liable to sudden lurches as the
unsteady currents strike 1t at various an
giles. Some day science may discover a
gas much more rare than the hydrogen
now used for fotation. suitable for use In
balloons or airships, which win permit
the employment OF a smaller bag and the
consequent reduction of the danger which
besets the balloonist. But 1t Is difficult to
conceive a gas 50 rare as to be capable
Of lifting proportionately much greater

there would remain the factor of a bulky

will be through the aeroplane, which will
