MUST TOTE FAIR.

Cody Enterprise: This plan of
bringing Montgomery Ward widows
to Wyoming to file upon vatanct lands
for the benefit of others should not be
tolerated. This growing and extreme
ly prosperous commonwealth will
gladly welcome with o~utstretched
hands and welcome arms any number
of widows. especially if they happen
to be young and pretty and arrive
with the understanding that they are
perfectly willing to remain 'for bet
ter or worse" But the idea of their
coming out here, selecting valuable
land, make goo-goo eyes at our sus-
ceptible land officers until they Sc
cure a patent for a slice of our valu-
able territory and then turn their
right over to some land shark, is rep
rehensible and although a little UNI
gallant toward the bereft, common
safety and a due regard for the rights
of the bona fide settlers should COM
pei the authorities to call a halt.

SHOULD KEEP HIS PLEDGE.

To be fair and honest with his con-
s%tituency Governor-elect Bailey should
marry. He should keep his pledge to
the people and have a wife when
inaugural day comes around. He was
elected on not much of any other plat
form thar his solemn promise that he
would renounce the liberties of sin
gle life and have Mrs. Bailey by his
side to receive company at the state
house, the Kansans having given it
out flat that no bachelor should be
the occupant of that structure, not if
they could avoid it. and they 'allow-
ed" they could.
Some OF them are single and many
others have been and they know, or
some of theme do what a house looks
Ike after it has been occupied a short
time by a man without a wife. They
do not want the walls of their capitol
frescoed with streaks showing where
a more or less befuddled man has
struck matches IN coming home late
at night after a social session with
some of the other unmarried heath
ems; neither will they permit the
draperies to become redolent of the
odor of stale tobacco smoke and allow
the entire state to become s%candaliz-
ed by the appearance of empty bot
ties and cigar stubs resting on the
window castings. Although they are
aware that prohibition is supposed to
be the ruling order of things down
their way, they are not ignorant of the
fact that such articles as old rye and
beer can be shipped in to profane
by their presence the limits of a ter
rltory supposedly given over to total
abstinence and the eschewment of
all that is intoxicating.
Governor-elect Bailey should and
must marry. If he is unable to decide
whom of the thousands of eligible
and adoring young things he wants
that are said to have offered them
selves to him, he should submit the
matter to a committee of married per-
sons of sound judgment, unimpeach-
able integrity and who are familiar
with his pecularities and predelic-
TONS. =,
Then there is Mary Ellen Lease,
who, we believe, is now open to offers

Flower state for a brief period. By all
means, you men and women of Kan
sas, force Mr.. Bailey to keep his prom

WON'T BEAR EXPANDING,

Boston Transcript: 1t seems to us
that nothing more harmful to our in
terests could be done than to expand
the Monroe doctrine to the degree
OF making us the publicly proclaimed
champion of all South American re-
publics in all differences they may
have with European powers. The
arguments against this extension of
Monroe's simple doctrine to compre-
bend what it was never intended to
cover are many, but two, in our judg-
ment, will suffice to condemn it. These
arguments are respectively founded
on our national character and the
character of the South American re-
publics. In the first place, our mis-.
sion is peaceful development of our
interests and industries. Our desire
is to avoid entangling alliances. A
more entangling alliance than one
with all South America at once cannot
be imagined. Suppose that we were
held or held ourselves to protect
South American nations from oppres-
sion by insisting that no European
power should ever by force collect
a debt of any one of them or exact
satisfaction for a claim, we should be
called upon to live continually with
the sword half drawn, for a declara-
ton of championship unaccompahied
by preparations to assert it would be
the vainest of words, the talk of a
braggart

ONLY DEMOCRATIC PRETENsE.

Just by way of a diversion from the
very serious matter of electing a
speaker of the republican house of
representatives of Montana the demo.
cratic editors of the state are now en-
gagged in the pleasing pastime of
warning the republicans against Mr..
Heinze and telling them that he is
tricky, deceitful and wholly irresponsi-
bic in things political. They pretend
tc believe that he has designs of a sin
lister nature on the legislature and
that unless cautioned the republican
majority may permit itself to become
a victim to his wickedness and duplic-
ity.
Of course, it is merely buncombe
and the men who are thus pretend
ing to interest themselves in the hap
piness and welfare of the opposition
well know that nc danger need be
~apprehended from the source they
feign to fear. Admitting that Mr..
Heinze threw his strength to the sup
port of a part of the late republican
ticket and that he may have helped
out in some respects, the fact never
the less remains that he is a demo-
crat, avowedly so, and is with the
party in all things, except it's allegi-
ance to Senator Clark and a few 9TH
ers, the particular friends of the SEN
ator. This the republicans know and
they treat him the same as one of the
other democrats, ~courteously and con.
siderately. but this is as far as it
goes. He will be given no voice, eth
er directly OF indirectly, in the organi-
Zation of the house and any proposals
he may have to make will be received
as coming from the enemy.
Mr.. Heinze is a democrat and the
majority of the house will be repub-
lican. Nothing more need be said.

A RIGHTEOUS LAW.

Minneapolis Journal: Only sixteen
members of the house of representa-
tives voted against the pure food
law. It is strange that one should
vote against it. 1t is merely a law in
behalf of honesty in commerce.
To oppose such a law is to stand for
dishonesty in trade.
To oppose such a law is to vote to
give free access to interstate COM
merce to poisonous candies, contain
ing terra alba, barytes, tale, chrome
yellow, or other injurious substances
or coloring matter, which are being
sold as pure and non-injurious.
To oppose such a law is to admit
to interstate commerce dishonest and
adulterated drugs.
To oppose such a law is to admit
to interstate commerce fraudulent
substitutes, deceptive authorizations,
and all putrid, filthy and diseased sub
stances intended for food, and offered
as suitable for consumption.
1t is all we'll enough to say that ev-
cry man ought to have sense enough
to procure only good foods for him
self. without asking the government
to protect him. But what does that
mean? Why. it means that every
man must be ananalytical chemist
and must chemically examine every
article of food he buys. That is, of
course, impossible. We must buy our
food on faith, and the basis of that
faith must be the illegality of adulter-
alton deception, or substitution.
No 0 effective way Of bringing
to an n the frightful frauds upon
the food supply of the nation a be
found than that of denying the priv
ileges of interstate commerce to dis
honest traders.

AN IDLE SCHEME

Anaconda Standard: Senator Nor
gan's new scheme, which would not
receive a moments serious considera-
ton but for the fact that it's sponsor
is an eminent member of the senate,
is getting a surprising amount of
newspaper attention. Some of the
editors sheer at it; some of them de-
scribe it as crazy" none of them ap-
prove it, but many of them deal with
it as if it were a serious affair.
Senator Morgan has taken up with
characteristic enthusiasm the absurd
plan of colonizing in the Philippines
the negroes of the United States. In
the judgment of the senator, our new
possessions in Oceanic offer a far
more inviting field for negro colonial
ton than the African home of the
race. He says that 'the land is rich
er, the climate better suited to them,
and there they would be under the
flag"
The project is absurd on it's face.
Admitting that the negroes were will
ing to go and that we had twenty
times the facilities for carrying them
that really exist, their numbers now
reach SO many millions that the ex-
tent of transportation achieved would
be but a drop in the bucket compared
to that of the race in our country.
The American. public has always
recognized Senator Morgan as an able
statesman and as a rarely gifted man.
But as he advances in years he floats
a good many theories that do not COM
mend themselves to the favor or the
Judgment, of his fellow citizens.

strong suits in the hand of royalty in
Siam and "renigging' has severe pen
alties attached. While there may be
no war over the matter, the Siamese
court has considered it of sufficient
gravity to enter into diplomatic cor
respondence with the state depart
ment concerning it and for all that is
known a demand may come that we
apologize and fire a salute in honor of
the white elephant and make obeis-
n to the ring tailed monkey that

threatened with humiliation, the press

than ever was exploited in stolen dia-

Only a little over a year has elapsed
since the Pan-American conference
met at the City of Mexico, but during
that short period events have trans
pired that have caused Venezuela to
form a higher opinion of arbitration
than it then seemed to entertain. At
that time Castro's government and
the Chileans were engaged in one Of
the customary South American
squabbles and the convention adopted
a resolution expressive of the wish
that the two nations submit their diff
fculty to an arbitrator. The hot head
ed V~enezuelans declined to vote on
the resolution, declared their intention
to fight the thing out and intimated
that they regarded as presumptious
the suggestion that they arbitrate and
meet the Chileans en- a friendly foot
ing in the convention. Now, however,
the same gentlemen are among the
loudest in the call for arbitration and
for several days have been falling over
themselves to secure submission of
the difficulty in which their. nation
finds itself to some disinterested par
ty for adjudication. The size of the
trouble and the might of the powers
opposing it may have had something
to do with the change of mind that has
come over the fire eating seniors, but
for all that it is worthy of comment.

as the incoming legislature dons it's
