Arizona republican., 1902-01-20

McClure's Magazine for December contained an article on Senator Thomas
 c. Platt of New York, THOMAS written by a Kansas C. newspaper man-Will- PLATT. jam Allen White-which,
 while purporting to be an accurate sketch, was an ignorant and cruel caricature. The following from a more fair minded writer, bet ter describes Senator Platt as he actually is:
 Among democrats and republicans, his colleagues of the Fifty-seveDth con gress there is only one opinion respect ing a recent magazine article concern ing Senator Thomas C. Platt, of New York-that it is an outrageous libel, which no publication with pretensions to responsibility should have printed.
 MT. Platt's tradpcer knows nothing of the man, or of the subjects he has so gIibly discussed. He has simply col lected and strung together a tissue of lies that during a quarter of century and more have been set ahoat by un- scrupulous political opponents, soured and disappointed seekers after office. Mir Platt has lived down every one of them, and is at the present moment Cne Of the very greatest pOl.tlcal IS- ures in this country, loved by his friends, respected by his foes, and trusted and honored by all who know hiD'.
 The magazine assailant of Mir. Platt charges him with n love of power. It is a silly charge. Who does not love power and the exercise of it? The de- sire to do so Is one of the great springs that move the world and spur human ity on to it's highest activities and usefulness. How has MT. Platt used the political power he has. achieved is the question" Has 1t been exercised for his own pecuniary aggrandizement? Friend and foe alike agree that it has not-that he has never made a. penny out of politics. The tribute is a mag nificent one in these days of political debauchery. But few men in the coun- try receive more voluntary campaign contributions than does he, and every dollar is rigidly expended in the i'm terest of the republican party. This inhexible integrity combined with Inatchless sagacity and genius for lead c-ship has endeared Mir. Platt to the great majority of the voters Of the first state in the union
 That he has enemies within his own

corruption in government than the
knowledge on the part OF the officers that
they will be exposed when apprehended
in wrong-doing: there is no surer way OF

It is said that the commissioners at

would thus come into harmony with God

The Order.-(Verses 10 and 1D. An old
proverb says: HE who has a work to do
should begin it early and prosecute it
with vigor.'' Joshua acted upon This prin-
ciple after hearing the Lords lnstruc-
tons. Promptly he issued general or.
ders to his officers to pass among the
host. the army. and to make ready to
move within three days. The prepara-
tons consisted IN providing suitable ra-

thing was necessary. Presumably as the
nation had long been on military basis
under Joshuas command. he knew the
conditions and felt that there was no
need of special practice or outfit. The
conmissary department alone required
attention. But Joshua was careful to
let the people know their destination.
He filed their hearts with high hopes
by saying that they should go in to pos
sess the land which the Lord would give
them. After months OF waiting on the
east side of Jordan. in full view OF the

NEW YORKS DEPARTURE.

| We are not surprised that the Demo-
cratic newspapers of New York express
their disapproval Of the Socialist plank
of the Democratic platform, which de-
nands government ownership and opera
ton of the anthracite coal mines. Even
the New York World. which has been
firing its heaviest guns for some time
past at the mine operate is unwilling
| to accept this Democratic alternative.
AS for the Republican papers. they are
in high Elee over it and are making it
very uncomfortable for those Democrats
who despise communism. The Sun says
that in 1.-The records of the party as ef-
fected by William ]. Bryan, there has
never been made by it a declaration Of
, principle SO radical as this. so widely and
completely separate and distinct from its
original and vitalizing principle and SO
violently in conflict with the theory and
doctrine of Democratic government, which
it was established to sustain and en-
force
The Sun is right. We believe that Mr..
Eryan is at heart in favor of government
ownership and control of the transpor-
tation lines of the country and. possibly
, Of some Of the industries now owned by
trusts But he has never attempted to
commit the party to that policy. It has
remained for the New York Democracy,
Under the leadership of Senator Hill. to
proclaim and advocate this Socialistic
doctrine. We expressed our surprise and
ar1azement at the time and we are still
unable to understand how this wretched
plank managed to wiring in and receive
the approval of a body Of representative
| Democrats in the enlightened State of
New York. If tic Democracy stand for
anything it is for non-interference on the
Part of the government with the private
business affairs of life: if Democracy is
| the tntithesis of anything ii is Tic
antithesis of communism.
The New York Democracy has set an
unrishteous and a dangerous doctrine
which we do sincerely hope that the
| Democracy of no other State or section
/; OF this country Will initiate.

BISHOP TURNER'S VIEW.

It is stated in the New York Sun that
the Liberian Colonization Society of Biz
| mingham. Ala, which has sent three
colonies OF American negroes to Liberia,
proposes to send a fourth party. The
present plan Is that the party shall SAIL
from Savannah, Ga, on Jan. 10th next
Bishop Henry Mcneil Turner, senior
Bishop Of the African Methodist Episco-
pail Church, has written a letter to the
society commencing its efforts. Among
other things he says:
1.-The negro must leave this country
He cannot remain in a land where he
has no civil or political rights and where
he is dsfranchiscd by whole States with
cut disturbing In the least the general
government which he has fought and
died to maintain by hundreds Of thous-
ands.
Besides challenge all the historians
in the world to produce an instance
where an ens1aved people OF degraded
people have risen to Responsibility and
CIVIL stIlu poutIGdi equality wiz ID llol
Of the same color or lot themselves in.
ama!gaznation.
This the black man cannot DO while
such barbarous laws exist as do in this
country against the inte1marriage of
races. White is too valuable in this
country and too much esteemed to in
troduce an intermediate color. except in
rare instances, and then it must wear
the same badge Of degradation that is
attached to black
We believe that there is an abiding
place in this country for the good ne
gro. OF course. there will be no ANAL
gamation. for the sensible reason ad-
vanccd by Bishop Turner. and in the
South, at least. there will be no social
mixing. But the negroes can make
society for themselves and they will
be trusted with all the respect and con
sideration they deserve
Some of them. indeed all who show
themselves TO be capable and worthy.
will be admitted to the suffrage. as is
abundantly shown by the registration in
