HELPING 70 DESTROY THE BoERs

HELPING TO DESTROY THE BOERS.
Extreme language always defeats it's
own purpose. This applies with some
force to the address delivered by Con-
gresham Cochran, of Missouri in the
house on Tuesday, on the subject Of
the attitude assumed by this govern
ment toward the war prevailing between
the two African republics and the British
empire.
There is no American with a spark OF
devotion to human liberty in his nature
that has not felt at one time or other a
sense of disappointment and sorrow that
this nation should find itself unable to do
any act or exercise any influence that
would be expressive of the sympathies of
the mass Of the American people with
the glorious men who have so long with
held, one man to twenty, the military
strength and prestige Of a great nation
bent on robbing them of their liberties.
Of course we have offered our interven
ton as nation in South Africa. and II
has been rejected. There is no other af-
ffrmative action that we as a nation can
take The sooner the American friends
of the Boer nation recognize that truth
the more promotive will it be of their
ability to render service to that people
other than in affirmative directions.
Congressman Cochran ought to be for
given even if he does indulge himself in
bitter speech. The situation is a bitter
one for every American, and it is rendered
a hundred fold more bitter by the evil
dence, so plentifully supplied, that we
| have at the head of the national state de-
partment an official who is ready to
waive every question possible to be waiy-
ed in favor of the expressing power.
TIL Clio does not take any great
stock in the uproar raised in the matter
of that doctor and his wife, whoever they
may be, and their desire to pass within
the British lines for the succor of nom
combatants. But it does take stock in tha
charge which is heard so frequently, and
which found such earnest expression on
The floor of the house Of representatives
on Thursday, that on all the questions
| of international law that have arisen we
have given the best Of it to Britain
American mules and horses have bean
steadily exported from this country in
British vessels for use by Britain In the
prevailing war. Indeed, this has been tina
great supply depot of England for thesa
animals, and is today. So far as the
general public knows the state DEPART
ment has never given any serious thought
to the complaints made by the Boer
| representatives and by the mass of
American people against the direct aid
and comfort that we have through this
| channel given to England's endeayors to
destroy the South African republics
Nothing has appeared in the public prints
that would indicate that that department
or the executive authority Of the nation
had even given the subject a moments
| consideration.
And why not? 1t is not necessary to
quote from historical records in order
to establish that the animals we supplv
to Britain shipped directly to bell
hgerent ports. and openly for military
use, would be declared contrabrand Of

Political Changes in Air

Political Changes in Air
NEW YORK, March 14.-Po1ticians ex-
pect that President Roosevelt soon will
announce a batch of important federal
positions in this state as a result of Gov.
Odell's visit to Washington. A thorough
reorganization of the immigration depart
ment at the port of New York will come
with other changes.
Automobile Craze Caricatured-
Burlesques of the automobile craze exc
cuted in a poster-like color scheme by
Stuart Travis are published in large col
ored prints by Max Williams. Mr.. Travis
recalls the old English comic prints re-
lating the mishaps of greenhorns on the
hunting field in farcical situations, or the
tribulations of passengers by the old mail
coaches These prints are likely to find
place On the walls of country clubs and
act the part of valentines sent Dy friends
to those who have forsaken horse and
bicycle for the deadly autoscorcher.
Shaw Holds Private Inspection
Secretary Shaw visited New York this
week and inspected incognito the doings
en- the New York dock at tie time of a
steamship arrival. He came back with a
larger knowledge of the situation than he
had had before, and with considerable
sympathy for the women who have COM
planned of abuses and delay. The secre-
tary said he appreciated fully the situa-
ton, and that the department would give
it careful attention. He would say moth
ing at all as to what he saw.
About $50 replies have been received by
Secretary Shaw from the women Pc
titioners, to whom he had sent letters
asking for more specific charges and
greater details of their experiences with
inspectors. The petition to the secretary
contained LOCO signatures, and to every
one of the women he sent a personal let
ter. The replies which he received are
now being tabulated and put in proper
form, and the secretary will make a gen
eraI statement covering the case
Department officials say that the situa-
ton presented by the customs inspection
in New York was very difficult one to
meet. They appreciate the difficulties
undergone by the women and say that
the delay encountered is often very
troublesome. Just what can be done to
relieve all this no one at the department
is yet ready to say, but that something
will come from the petition of the ladies
there seems to be little doubt.

Calve is to sing at the Waldorf-Astoria

war by Britain herself under different
circumstances Even under our own
more liberal conception of neutral rights
our conduct in allowing those animals to
leave our ports convicts US of national
cowardice and avarice.
Sad indeed is it that these valiant men
have not the power to establish their
belligerent rights, either against this or
would be speedy ending put to our pres
cnt shameless and cowardly attitude. We
would soon bring to an end the traffic
in horse flesh whicL our people have been
in constant revolt against, nor would any
nation in Europe dare to do what we.
the professed friends and protectors of
republican government the world over.
are daily doing, if the Boer republics had
the power to enforce their national
rights.
III e Clio b does not pretend to I'M
derstand why the state department has
chosen to ignore the maintenance of
British military supply depots in this
country. 1t cannot be that we deny the
sovereign rights of the two republics
that are fighting for their liberties, and
claim with England that this war rep
resents merely a revolt among British
subjects against the national authority.
If we do we are guilty of an additional
act of unfriendliness toward the Boer ma
tons. There never was any dispute as
to the full sovereign powers of the Orange
sovereign power Britain might claim in
the case of the South African republic,
she never assumed any authority what
ever over the sister republic; and not
1e,G00 British proclamations will ever give
a shadow of warrant for her assumption
that the territory of the Orange Free
State is now British soil. She may sue
cessfuIly claim that soil by right of con-
quest; but when that day comes the cost
of maintaining her claim will have indeed
staggered humanity, and if her ownership
that republic it will be because there is
not a male adult left to raise his arm
against the murder Of his nation. That
murder we, as people, have watched
the progress of without ever uttering a
word of objection, or even of pity.
The Democratic people of the United
States are powerless to resent the ma
tional poltroonery and greed thus sane
toned by the present administration But
they can at least console themselves with
the thought that no Democratic president
and no Democratic administration of ...e
state department, from the days of JEFF
ferson to those of Olney, could be guilty
of allowing such a blot to rest on Amer
lean national good fame.
