That President Roosevelt only Il
few years ago was one Of the strong
est Of anti.lmpcrIalIslS, seems to he
more clearly shown every day On
the subject Of colonies, Mr.. Bryan
quotes from one Of his books that can
be purchased at almost any good book
store entitled, american Ideas and
other Essays rs follows; AT best
the inhabitants Of u colony are In a
cMmpcd and unnatural state, At
the worst, the establishment Of Il coli
ony prevents any healthy popular
growth. Some time In the dim future
1t may be that all the EnglISh-spcak-
Ing peoples will be able to unite In
some kind Of n conGedeAcy, How
ever desirable this would be, 1t Is,
under existing circumstances, only u
dream, At present the only hope for
a colony that wishes to attain full
moral and mental growth, Is to be-
come an Independent State, As long
as the Canadian remains colonist
he remains in a position which Is
distinctly inferior to that of his
cousins, both in England and In the
United States. The Englishman
looks down ON the Canadian, as he
does ON any one who admits his in
fcriority, and quite properly too.
Under the best Of circumstances,
therefore, a colony is in a false posi-
tlon, but If the colony Is In u region
where the colonIzlng race has to do
its work by means Of other inferior
races, the condition Is much wo5re.
The history Of most of the South
American republics has been mean
and bloody; but there Is at least Il
chance that they may develop, after
infinite trlbulations and sullcrlngS,
into Il civilization quite aS high and
stable ~ that Of such n European
power as Portugal, But there Is no
chance for any tropical American
colony owned by a northern Europ-
can race. y

BRYAN FOR the REFERENDUM.

Mr.. James G. Hogan Of New Jersey,
in very interesting speech delivered
before the Peoples club Of New York,

There is no doubt that the conSti-

those who had faith in the capacity
Of the people for Self-goyegnmcnt and
those who favored an independent

Of Jefferson represented the popular

Billy Morgan may have had troubles
in his life Of some thirty-seven or eight
winters, but If so no one las ever

naliSt Of that great weekly review,

oughtn't to do such thing. From
his wide and practical knowledge Of
successful politics, he says Billy
ought not to be for anybody but Day

a man Of such giant proportions in
politics as Billy making some other
candidate foremost in the fight will
tend powerfully to weaken the home
man, and may compel him to stay at

things about them, and perhaps more

Farmers and all cooperative ele-
yator companies interested In sccur-
Ing Just markets and fair treatment
should take an active interest In this
meeting,
The Dakota and Minnesota grain
growers are to have meetlng.on the
same day at st. Paul, Minnesota, to
perfect an organization Of the spring
wheat growers on the same line that
the Kansas wheat growers are now
organized with the wheat districts
of Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska,
Minnesota ana the two DakOtaS thor
oughly organized, any intelligent
farmer can readily see that the bcne-
llt that would result from such u on
ganlzaton to the wheat growers Ct
the whole country
The power Of Letter and Phillips
In their paImlcSt days as compared
to oSuch an organization, and the good
II would accomplish for the producers,
would make their work mere side
shows, And yet, Joe Letter assisted
more farmers in lifting the mortgages
from their hOmcstcads than all other
physical causes combined. There Is
no longer any doubt aS to the ability
and power Of farmers when thor
oughly organized, and that they will
succeed in organizing is no longer
questionable, II is only Il matter Ct
