IL you ever receive an invitation to a
Japanese incense party, accept It
promptly and thankfully. It has no
counterpart in our own social system
and is as merry and pleasant an affair
as can be imagined. The people Of the
mikado's land have trained the nos
trlls for generations the same as we
have trained the eye and ear, and they
display a skill which at times is star
ding to westerner. There is an odd
etiquette to be followed in these social
affairs. For the twenty-four hours
preceding the party each guest must
avoid the use Of anything which can

even spices must be avoided. These

OBJECTIONS TO STATEHOOD.

The Des Moines Leader, the organ
OF the Iowa Republicans, does not take
kindly to the idea of admitting Arizona
and New Mexico to Statehood. The
Leader, it may be said, reflects the
views of Speaker Henderson and other
Republican leaders who would have
much to say regarding the fate of the
omnibus bill if that measure should be
amended in the Senate and returned
to the House for further consideration.
In a recent issue the Leader expresses
these views:
Oklahoma, New Mexieo and Arizona
will all be on hand at the opening OF
the next session of Congress, clamor-
ing for admission to Statehood. Okla
homa has claims which are undoubted-
ly entitled to consideration. The
other two Territories should be COM
PEELED to wait. There are no rea-
sons, either political or sentimental
why two additional States should at
| the present time be carved out of those
sage brush regions, of which a goodly
portion of the State of Nevada is a
shining example. Neither one has
population enough to entitle it to a
Representative in Congress. There
will be ample time to consider the
merits of these Territories to State
hood when legal requirement as to
population has been reached, and the
people have shown some Willingness
TO adopt the language and customs OF
the American people.
This is a specimen of Republican
prejudice, mixed with rich endow-
ment of inexcusable ignorance. The
population of Arizona is nearly twice
as great as was the population of the
Territory of Iowa when it was ad-
m.itted to the union of States on De-
cember 2S, 1846. The population OF
Arizona is greater now than was the
population of either Montana, Wyo-
mong, Idaho. Nevada, Colorado OF

WnHT DOES ROOSEVELT MEAN?

The strongest point presented by his
friends in behalf of Mr.. Roosevelt IS
that he is sincere man. His friends
insist that he does not indulge in idle
words, and they point with pride TO
the claim that Mr.. Roosevelt's speeches
are characterized by that seriousness
and candor that in the speeches OF
some American statesmen have been
conspicuous largely because of alb
se1,ce. ~
In this light, therefore, it will
be interesting If the Republican papers
will interpret one paragraph in a
speech delivered by Mr.. Roosevelt be-
fore body of Philadelphia merchants
last Saturday. In that speech Mr..
Roosevelt said:
1t is pleasure to address a body
whose members possess to an eminent
degree the traditional American self
reliance OF spirit which makes them
soorn to ask from the government,
whether of State or OF mation, any
thing but fair field and no favor;
who confide not in being helped by
others, but in their own skill, energy
and busiess capacity to achieve sue
cess.
Now, what did Mr.. Roosevelt mean
by that? Did he mean to pay a trib-
ute to ''the traditional American self
reliance of spirit" merely? Did he
mean that every citizen of the repub-
lie should seorn to ask of the govern
ment, whether of State or nation, any
thing but a fair field and no favor?
Did he mean that every citizen should
cohfide not in being helped by others
but In his own skill, energy and
business capacity to achieve success?
If he did meaGl these things, then
with what reason will Mr.. Roosevelt
lend aid and encouragement to the
effort OF representatives of special
Interests to maintain the advantages
which they possess under the Repub-
lican tariff law? If he did NEAR
these things, will he utter a timely
warming against the Fowler banking
bill, that neither that measure mol
and proposition similar sto 1T which
helps the few to the detriment of the
many shall be placed upon the statute
book? If he did mean these things
will he utter a word of protest, before
it is too late, against the passage OF
the ship subsidy bill? Will he stand
UP with all of his boasted "strenu-
osity" against the demands of the
representatives of the trusts, who, be
cause of their liberal contributions II
the Republican campaign fund, i'm
agine that the Republican party shoult
deliver the destinies of this nation in
to their merciless custody?
The truth is that If the Presiden
cid mean these things, If his speech i
serious, if he does not indulge merel,
in we'll rounded sentences, the senti
ments he expressed in his Philadelphia
speech will be reflected in his messag
to Congress. These words uttered b,
MIR. Roosevelt serve, according to ou
Interpretation, as bitter protes
against the Republican policies of to
day.
If any representative of the Repub
ljcan party can find in the sentiment
expressed by Mr.. Roosevelt anythinI
other than a condemnation of the Re
publican party's attitude toward mel
who demand special favors, The Cit
izen win be glad to receive the inter
