more startling arraignment of
the policy of Imperialism has never
been made than was made by Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, in the course
Of an eloquent and argumentative ad-
dress before the senate during the
discussion of the Philippine bill
There has been a persistent effort
made by the administration and its
organs to distinguish between the
cases of Cuba and the Philippines.
The only distinction possible 70 make
when fairly stated resolves itself to
this:
In the case Of Cuba we promised
beforehand to do our evident duty and
in the case Of the Philippines the
duty was just as plain bur we had

we did what we promised to do, give
Cuba her freedom, in the other we
refused to do the duty because we had
not promised it. What is the result?
Cuba it free and happy and so are we,
but bloody war still blights the hap
less Filipinos, while every drop of his
blood stains the time-worn pages OF
the declaration OF independence.
Senator Hoar approaching a splen.
did climax said:
This government had erected a
republic in Cuba and a despotism in
the Philippines. Six hundred mill
ions of treasure and 10000 American
lives had been sacrificed in that en-
deavor. In the Philippines, the
American flag had been made the en-
blem of sacrilege and the burning cf
homes and of the horror of the water

in general. were humane. But in
some cases they have carried on your
warfare with a mixture of American
ingenuity and Castilian cruelty.
What have your ideals cost you?'
inquired Mr.. Hoar For the Philip
pine islands you have had to repeal
the Declaration of Independence; for
Cuba you have had to reaffirm and
give It new luster For the Philip
pine islands you have had to convert
the Monroe doctrine into a doctrine
of mere selfshness; for Cuba you
have acted on 1t and vindicated it. In
Cuba you have the eternal gratitude

submission of subjugated people
From Cuba you have brought home
nothing but glory; from the Philip
pines you have brought home moth.

Of this particular bill It is still pain
fully evident that the Indian appropri-
esions are an enormously expensive

at the earliest possible date. Such

Just why the white man should eter-

Indian problem should be solved and
If it can not be solved any other way
It ought to be Topped off.

AS TO THE ISSUES.


The Chandler News says Callahan
beat Flynn but did not get any free
homes. True. Car Reed said ia his
speech at Wichita that he would not
let Oklahoma have free homes unless
they elected Flynn and he kept his
word. This is good sample Of Re.
publican statesmanship and rig)t
along the broad philanthropic lines
they usually pursue. But his majesty
Car Tom Reed, oh where is he?
Swallowed by the spawn hatched
in the polluted pools Of political intri-
que at the footstool of his imperial
throne.
The News goes on TO say that the
Leader does not state what the issues
between the parties will be in the
fall campaign Well, perhaps it would
take somewhat of prophetic vision to
tell just what particular brand OF
jugglery the Republicans viii use at
Enid in constructing their platform
but it is safe to guess on the brand of
whitewash they win use to freshen
the appearance of few of their old
political barnacles.
One thing is very clear and that is
that the territorial Democracy has
set forth in their Enid platform in
clear, straightforward language what
principles will govern their action
and what they expect to do The Re
publicans can do as they like it will
make no difference in the actions or
principles o. the Democratic party.
The Republicans Of the territory
are too badly torn with fierce factions
to think anything except what the
Dutchman whipped his boy for think
ing just after he had already had one
good sound thrashing.

of the press these days about frogs

A HINT TO IhE WISE.


Having provided oil for the lamp in
the front parlor the attention of the
householder may be very profiitably
if not so pleasantly called to the back
yard and the back alley Absolute
cleanliness is the price of good health
in a city.
No better illustration of the effects
of cleanliness can be found than in
and about a well regulated hospital
One Of the first things that strikes
one is the extreme care observed n
keeping all the grounds surrounding
absolutely free from rubbish and de
caying vegetable matter.
pile of tin cans in the back yard
is only an invitation for infectious
germs to breed there A pile of de
caying cleanings from the barn is a
menace to health
Until the sewer system is perfect
ed careful heed must be paid to the
disposal Of slops an dwash water.
Many Of the diseases prevalent in the
summer season are directly traceable
TO carelessness in sanitary matters.
The entire absence Of the rubbish
laden back yard and the tin can car

part and no small one at that in

Pueblo Goes Republican.

Pueblo, Nov 4.-No definite reports
can yet be obtained on the vote polled
for the different candidates. Returns
from the thirty-one different precincts
in the city on the straight votes cast
give the Republicans nearly 1000 ma
jority. This will be largely cut down
by the country precincts. which are
nearly all strongly Democratic. In
twelve precincts that have thus far
reported Alva Adams, candidate for
congressman at large, received COS
votes against 903 for Brooks. In the
same number of precincts Stimson
polled 7S5 votes and Peabody S17. Re-
turns from fifteen precincts give New
ton for state treasurer 1,191 and Car
lille 1,052. From the same number of
precincts Hogg, candidate for con-
gresham from the Second district, re-
ceived 1880 and John C. Bell 1,0S6.

Ell Paso Republican by 5000.

Colorado Springs. Colo, Nov. A.
The election here to-day passed off
very quietly, the votes being only 5000
out of 10000 registered on account of
a cold, raw wind which prevailed all
day. Early this evening both sides
claimed a victory, but toward 10 or II
o'clock. when the returns of the
straight votes began to come in, it
was evident to the workers on both
sides that the Republicans would carry
the county.
At first Chairman Bernard of the
Democratic committee conceded a Re-
publican majority of 1000, but later
was compelled to raise his estimate to
a little over 1000. Considerable dis
appointment has been expressed over
the fact that Stimson did not run
ahead of his ticket in this county, as
he was expected to do.
Up to o'clock this morning COM
plete returns have been received from
only nine precincts in the county. 1t
is claimed that the entire Republican
ticket is elected by a majority Of 81
900.
Gilpin observer., 1902-11-06
Boulder Narrowly Republican.

Boulder, Colo, Nov. AT mid
night twenty-five OF the thirty-five pre-
cincts of Boulder county have been
heard from. The result has been dis
tinct disappointment to the Democrats.
The women have generally voted the
Republican ticket in the cities of Boul-
der and Longmont The city OF Boul-
der has cast $500 votes. which is sew
enty-five per cent. of the registered
vote of the town. The county has cast
about $500 votes. out OF a total OF 10,-
900 votes to which 1t was entitled.
At midnight Chairman Ingram of
the Democratic county central commit
tee comedies the loss to the Republi-
cans OF the state. legislative and county
tickets by pluralities running from 400
to $50. In this calculation there Is no
appreciable difference between the ma
jority of any candidates.
The probable majorities for Mr..
Bonynge and Mrs. Brandt are 400 each,
and for Peabody and the majority Of
the state ticket 400. The Socialist vote
in the county does not exceed $50 and
the Populists have voted most largely
with the Democrats, though some OF
them have voted with the Republicans.
The Populist vote is almost nil.

Heavy Gains for Republicans in ohio.

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 4.-The Re-
publicans have carried Ohio by next
to their highest plurality on record.
Nothing above 10000 had been predict
ed but partial returns indicate that
IL will greatly exceed those figures.
The Republicans, however, lose one con-
gresham. The present Ohio delega.
tion in Congress consists of seventeen
Republicans and four Democrats. and
the returns show sixteen Republicans
and five Democrats elected.
In this (Franklin) county. which
also constitutes the Twelfth congress
sional district. the Republican plural
ity on the state ticket is 1000. while
Huling, the Republican candidate for
Congress. is defeated by 500, due to To-
cal opposition to Huling.
At midnight Chairman Dick said:
Returns to this hour do not change
our estimates of 100000 Republican
plurality. We have carried all districts
now represented In Congress by Re-
publicans. with the possible exception
of the Twelfth. and in its place we
have probably carried the Thirteenth
district"
With single exception the Repub-
lcan plurality to-day was the highest
in the state OF Ohio, in total vote OF
less than 100000. In 1894 the Repub-
lican record was established. with a
plurality of 1907 votes.
