There is nothing more majes-

of law. Human enactments are
for term of four years, but the
obligations of the laws of God will
last while he is on the throne of
the universe. Pardon does not re-
peal law nor suspend it nor mega
tive it. There is no such thing as
pardon in his government; when
his law is violated, suffering must
be endured, either by the original
offender or by an adequate substi-
tute."

DEMOCRACY's THREE ISSUES.
TanslefOOt Policies which VIII Pave
the Way to Defeat.
ST. Louis Globe-D emocrat.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat
ostensibly the democracy will have three
issues in the congressional canvass Of 1902.
Some OF their leaders, that is to say. are
urging the party to make a fight on trusts,
Imperialism and tariff reform. Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland favored tariff reform in his
great harmony speech at the Tilden club
dinner, but nobody has been able to find
that the recommendation has aroused any
enthusiasm except among the democratic
enemies OF 1.-THE ex-president, who cast de-
rision upon him for his tariff record, as
they do for everything else which he has
said or done. Cleveland skipped imperial
ism, but some OF the other democratic mag
mates pretend they want that for an issue.
Trustism, Of course, will come IN for as
sault in the canvass.
On all these issues the democracy can be
easily beaten. On the tariff reform there is
no approach to harmony among the demo-
Gratis. 1t is certain that the country is
Iot seeking any tariff reform. or wants any
tinkering with the tariff in any direction.
On the trust question the republicans have
a far better record than the democrats,
for the republicans the only antitrust bill
ever enacted by congress and the republic
ans enforced that act and are enforc-
ing It now. The republicans will be ex-
ceedingly glad to see the democrats bring
the question of imperialism orwar That
is an issue on which there are hundreds
Of thousands Of new votes for the repub-
lican party in the country at large.
There is no issue in sight on which the
democrats have the faintest chance to win.
The most disastrous Of all these three
Issues for the democrats would be that OF
imperialism. The people Of the United
states do not believe that there is any i'm
perialism in the policy which the Roosevelt
administration and the republican party IN
congress are pursuing in the Philippines.
That policy is unquestionably favored by
at least two out Of three OF the is. 900, 900
voters OF this country. II Is q policy which
Is to be pursued and which is to result
In greater good for the country than even
that which is foreshadowed at the present
time. The United States has made immeas-
urable advances. socially. industrially and
politically. in the hve years which have
passed since the republicans came into
power. On its record since March 4. 1891
the republican party can and will win
grand victory in Ise9.

SAMPLE OF CHEAP DEMAGooY.

Republican government in cities has re-
suited in the most abominable corruption
ever known to mankind. We have only to
take a glance at Philadelphia. st. Louis
and Minneapolis to be assured that this
statement is true.-Nebraska Independent.
This is a sample of the cheap dema-
gogy by which %popocratic organs seek to
make political capital. They would have
their readers believe that the only in
stances of corruption in municipal gov
eminent exposed to light are to be found
in cities where republicans are in con-
troll. They cite Philadelphia, st. Louis
and Minneapolis, but are careful not TO
mention New York, Chicago and other
cities where similar disclosures of cor
ruption have been repeatedly made I'M
der democratic administrations.
While pointing to the upheaval in Min
neapolis. they are careful also to cover
up the fact that the beclouded mayor
was elected originally as a democrat and
that the democrats are primarily respon-
sible for him, although having built him
self up by democratic aid he has since
professed to be a republican. Further
more, If we remember correctly, Mayor
Ames was foisted on the republicans of
Minneapolis as their candidate last time
by democrats who took advantage of a
loophole in the Minnesota primary cleo
ton law to cast their votes at the repub-
lican primaries and determine the iden-
tity of the republican candidate. When
it comes to responsibility for the corrup-
ton of Minneapolis the democrats of
that city will have to pear the chief
brunt.
A survey of the records shows that
honesty and dishonesty are not monopo-
lized by any political party. The Ameri-
can people are too intelligent to be de-
ceived by such partisan clap-trap as that
we have cited.

RE-ELEoTION oF PkARse.

BY again loading the schools of Omaha
down with Carroll G. Pearse as superin-
tendent. the Board of Education has ex-
hibited a singular disregard for the vital
of our public school system and
the welfare of the children who must
get their education in the public schools.
The retention Of Mr.. Pearse simply
means the continued degradation of the
teaching force under incompetent super
vision.
1t means the subsection Of the schools

field.

WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS.

There is apprehension that the fac
tional strife among the Wisconsin re-
publicans may result in the retirement
Of United States Senator Spooner,
whose term expires with the present
congress. Some two years ago the sell
ator announced that he should not be a
candidate for reelection, but his friends
in Wisconsin and republicans very gen.
orally feel that he ought to remain in
the senate and it is understood that he
is now disposed to do so, though prob
ably he will make no great effort for re-
election.
This should not be necessary. Mr..
Spooner is one of the ablest and most
valuable men in the national senate.
He has in a high degree the qualiica-
tions of the statesman and there is not
in public life an ADLER exponent or de-
fender Of republican principles. Hardly
any great question that has come up
since the beginning of the Spanish war
has been disposed of without his active
and usually controlling direction and
support. He has consequently attained
national distinction and has been looked
to by the leaders OF his party and by
both Presidents Mckinley and ROose-
welt for counsel and guidance. Upon
him have largely devolved in the senate
the responsibilities of leadership as the
representative of the administration and
his party. The retirement Of Senator
Spooner would be a distinct loss to the
senate and would be greatly regretted
by republicans throughout the country
The party in Wisconsin cannot afford
to dispense with the valuable services
of John @. Spooner and it will not If it
consults the wishes OF the party gen
orally,

WIZ URen TRUST LEGISLATION.

WILL Ohuh TRUST
1t appears that President Roosevelt
Is very much in earnest regarding leg
islation for the supervision and regula-
ton Of corporations doing an interstate
business. 1t was stated a few days ago
that he had been in consultation with
Representative Littlefeld of Maine, one
Of the ablest lawyers in congress-, whom
he had invited to prepare a bill for the
regulation of the combinations to be
introduced In congress with the endorse
ment and influence of the president back
Of 1t. 1t is now reported that Mr.. Little
field is engaged in drafting a measure
and will shortly have a conference with
Mr.. Roosevelt respecting It.
This evidence of the earnest desire of
the president to have enacted legisla-
ton for carrying out the views he ex-
pressed in his first message to congress
and has repeated several times since,
ought to emove any doubt that may
exist as to the presidents sincerity in
the matter, as well as silence all those
who would discredit his utterances. Mr..
Roosevelt has very clearly defined his
position respecting national supervision
and regulation of the great industrial
combinations and nowhere more ex-
plicltly than in his Pittsburg address.
He does not propose a war of extermina-
ton against the combinations. He does
not propose reckless and revolutionary
measures that would result In general
injury to the business of the country.
What he desires is reasonable and prac-
ticable legislation that will remedy the
evils and abuses now complained of,
protect the interests Of the public and
not interfere with industrial progress
and prosperity. That is a policy which
will have the approval of all rational
people.
Mr.. Littlefield has shown a great deal
Of interest in this matter and it may
confidently be expected that he will
frame a bill, with the assistance of the
president and Attorney General Knox,
which will meet the requirements of the
situation.

PHfLLPP1NE PoLlcr As LN IssnE.

EhALAFNANfG UNIV 40 ~ Ao1bbs
Senator Vest Of Missouri said in a
recent interview that 1T is useless to
protest against the Philippine policy
now" yet it is the intention of the
democratic congressional campaign
managers to keep this subject before
the people. For this purpose they will
send broadcast hundreds Of thousands
of the speeches delivered in congress
against the Philippine policy Of the
government and doubtless democratic
orators everywhere will thresh over this
straw during the progress of the CAM
paign.
The republicans will be very well sat
isfed to have their opponents make this
an Issue. The Philippine policy has
been successful. The civilized people
Of the island are satisfied and have
accepted American sovereignty. Civil
government has been established and Is
in satisfactory operation. The mill
tary authority is subordinated to the
civil and the army In the archipelago Is
to be further reduced. The legislation
passed by congress provides for giving
the Filipinos, as soon as practicable, a
large participation in the government of
the islands. 1t also makes provision
for public improvements, for increas-
ing educational facilities and for in
dustrial development. That legislation
extended to the people Of the Philippines
most Of the rights enjoyed by our W
citizens. 1t carries the principles of
republican government into the Orient.
The Filipinos are given opportunities
for improving their condition they have
never before had and this is under
stood and appreciated by the more In
telligent Of them. They will have peace
and order, they will have schools and
sanitation, they will have protection to
life and property and a proper admins
tration of justice. Above all they will
learn the lesson of true liberty-Of lib
erty restrained by law-and If they
shall be loyal and faithful to the gov
eminent the time may come when they
will be given independence.
The republican party, therefore, will
be found ready to defend its policy in
the Philippines. 1t is q successful pol
icy that gives assurance of the highest
benefits to the Filipino people. 1t will
In a few years work a regeneration, 1t
is not to be doubted, that will most
amply vindicate it. The people of Porto
Rico are entirely contented with being
under American rule. Their condition
was never more satisfactory than now.
Why may not similar results come to
the Filipinos? Why may it not rea-
sonably be expected that they also will.
under the improved conditions certain
to follow peace, become contented with
American rule? 1t has cost heavily in
men and money to accomplish what has
been done and the American people will
not consent to the REIMBURSEMENT of
anything we have achieved. They will
insist that the Philippine archipelago
shall be retained and governed by the
United States at least until such time
as the people are qualified for self-gov-
eminent. This is unquestionably the
overwhelming popular sentiment today
and we do not believe 1t can be weak
ened by any efforts OF the opponents of
the Philippine policy of the republican
party.

STATUE TO A TREE PLANTER.
Movement for n National Memorial to
j. Sterling Morton.

j. Sterling Morton.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A movement has been started to erect a
statue to the memory of ]. Sterling Morton,
the founder Of Arbor day, in Nebraska
City, which was his home for many years
Of his life. The idea seems to be to get
subscriptions from as large a territory as
possible, so as to arouse a widespread
interest in the project. The newspapers
all over the country are asked to mention
the scheme, so as to bring It to the atten-
tion OF most of Mr.. Morton's countrymen.
The movement deserves the encouragement
Of all Americans.
The time which has been selected to get
up this memorial is especially opportune.
Mr.. Morton's death took place only a few
weeks ago, and the commentators which
he received from the press Of the country
Their are we'll remembered. The house has
passed one bill and the senate has passed a
slightly different one for the creation Of
a vast forest reservation in the Allegheny
mountain region, and an agreement will be
reached between both branches on this
question as soon as congress meets in its
final session next December. A law has
Just received the signature OF President
Roosevelt to institute a general sys-
tenn OF irrigation throughout the arid
section OF the country, which takes in the
whole region, beginning with the western
ends OF the two Dakotas, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Texas and onward to
near the westerly border Of Washington.
| Oregon and California. All this is in the
spirit Of Morton's idea.
II the person who would make two blades
Of grass grow where only one grew before
deserved better OF mankind than the whole
race Of politicians, how much greater Is
the honor which is due to the man who
has made thousands OF trees grow over an
eXpanse Of the country where scarcely any
were growing previously? As a conse-
quence OF the Arbor day observance, OF
which Morton was the inventor, millions
Of trees have been set out in the past
thirty years in the prairie states In To-
calities where they we're q rare sight until
that time. Over vast stretches Of territory
west Of the Missouri the whole face OF
the landscape has been changed through
this means in the past generation, the
climate has become more humid. and Pike'a
desert has been made to blossom In a way
which would surprise him II he could see II
now. The change has been brought about
largely through the conception OF an idea
which Morton expounded with eloquence
and put into operation with enthusiasm
and persistence. The memory OF the old
tree planter deserves well At the hands
Of ais oountrymen.
