STATEHOOD DEFEATED.
Platform Premises of Republicans
BrOken-Hnnna's Extraordi-
nary Doctrine.

The defeat of the statehood bill
at this session of congress will pre-
vent for some time and perhaps for
ever the admission Of New Mexico
and Arizona Is separate states. h
republicans are promising to intro
duce a bill in the next congress to
bring in both territories as one state,
but as the people of both New Mex
leo and Arizona object to being
merged, even if such a measure was
passed, it might not be ratified by
the people. One great objection
raised to a merger of the two ter
~ritories is the enormous distance
from the eastern to the western
boundaries, which is over 200 miles,
as the crow flies, but the greatest OBJ
lection is that the people of the two
territories object to being Joined to-
gether.
The promise made in the republican
platforms of 1896 and 1900 that New
Mexico. Arizona and Oklahoma should
be admitted to statehood has, ike
many other republican promises, gone
for naught. This record for making
promises in national platforms, with
the evident intention of not keeping
them, will throw a doubt upon any
future planks of that nature and in
deed upon all declarations of the pol
lev to be declared by the republicans.
Senator Hanna explains this short
coming of his party and incidentally
apologies for his w opposition 10
statehood, by expounding the doc
trine that, when both parties adopt
the same planks and make the same
PROMISES there is no issue, and they
are therefore meaningless.
1t will be well for voters to re
member this when they justify their

BRIBING POLICEMEN.
1t Is Rarely Attempted in Chicago
and More Rarely Is Tempta-
ton Effective.

Not many people in Chicago try to
avoid arrest by bribing the policeman
who has taken them in charge, says
the Tribune.
In speaking of this matter, said ar
inspector: "There are few attempts
made in Chicago to bride an officer by
anyone who has been placed under ar
rest. The wonder is that there should
not be more of this kind of business.
As a matter of fact. such cases are few
and far between. The people who do
at times offer a policeman a bride are
usually foreigners. in whose native
countries the bribing of officials is a
common practice. Often a certain
class of secondhand dealers who have
been'arrested for receiving stolen prop
erty will weep around the officer who
has collected the evidence and loudly
proclaim that they have a dying wife
and 1G starving children and that if
the case goes against them they will be
ruined. They conclude theirappeal by
rendering the officer a couple of dol
lars, or perhaps five. The policeman
usually stuffs the money down the
backs of the would-be briber's neck
and sets him down with some emphasis
On the sidewalk to think the thing
over.
"We seldom hear of the attempted
bribing of an officer for the reason
that if the policeman charged the pris-
oner with an attempt to bride him
the defendant would deny it, and as
the officer would have no witnesses to
prove his side of the case and the de-
PENDANT would be liable to spring half
a dozen witnesses to prove that the
officer solicited a bride. So the police
men Think it best to say nothing about
the matter. A policeman who would
tell in court that al attempt had been
made to bride him would probably be
asked by the defendants lawyer if the
policeman objected to the bride be-
cause it was not large enough. The
Judge would make some witty remarks
to the effect that now, indeed, was
there hope for Chicago, with police
men refusing brides, and everybody
around the courtroom would guy the
officer on the subject. Accordinglythe
wise policeman when offered a bride
turns it back and rebukes the person
offering it in his peculiar and ex-
tremely impressive manner
"a policeman seldom accepts brides
not only because it is against the law
to do so but because he knows that in
such cases honesty is indeed the best
policy. A person who has succeeded
in making an officer accept o bride
has a hold on him, He has the police
mans hands tied, and in the future
can defy the officer by threatening te
make public the fact that the latter
took a BRIDE"

Free Trade Prosperity.

Much more is said about Il for.
eirn than about internal COM
merce. Yet the treasury department.
estimates the annual value of our in
ternal commerce at about twenty bill
lions. which is equal to the entire in
ternational commerce of the world.
Trade between the states doubled in
yearly value between 1890 n l9OO-
a much more rapid rate of increase
than shown by our foreign commerce
in the same period. But then com
merce between the states is free, as
between the forty-five commonwealth
of the Union, thanks to the Ccnstitu-
ton, can never be restricted
in its growth by any kind of tariff. The
prodigious prosperity Of these United
States is bottomed on its vast internal
whose corner stone is free
! trade.

CON TO THE WAR."-The Commoner.

adhesion to the republican party in
1904, by promises made in the plat
form. for there is NJ doubt that both
parties will make strong declarations
against the trusts. Thus, according
to Hanna, there will be no issue be-
! tween the parties on that important
| subject, as the republicans are only
bound by promises when the demo-
Gratis disagree with them.
If Senator Hanna was not chair
man of the republican national com
mittee and looked to as the leader
of the party, such an audacious doc
trine. that virtually modities the
promises made to the people on most
important subjects, would not be
worthy of notice, but as the great
majority of the republican senators
acquiesced in the doctrine, it must
stand as their opinion also.
The position of the democrats has
been consistent, their platform de-
clared for statehood for the terrific
ries and the vote and effort of the
representatives of the party have
been a unit to carry out the pledge
made. Their position cannot be gain
said, neither can it be objected to,
except upon partisan bigotry, for the
treaty that coded the territories to
the United States promised full po-
litical rights. Now that the terrific
ries have a larger population than
other states had when admitted, it
is a matter of fairness they should
be given statehood, according to the
political division they have so long
anioved.

REPUBLICAN PATRONAGE.
Lots of Good Appointments to he
Made with Large Salaries
and Easy Work.

OF the large army of appointments
that are to be made under the new
department of commerce and labor,
the average pay of each will be near
" $4,000. This shows what a large
number of good-paying places are at
the disposal of republican senators
and congressman. Those who want a
position at the national capital,
where the work is comparatively easy,
and the hours short-from nine to
four-should at once apply and urge
their friends to write to the sena-
tors and representatives from their
states, to have them appointed. There
are a large number, probably rs, ex-
aminers and special examiners, ST.
900 and expenses, also a number OF
such places as storekeepers, 1900;
telegraph operators, $1,000; tele,
phone operators, $1,000, and Others,
too numerous to mention, all outside
of the civil service.
Local politicians have a fine chance
to press their political claims fol
such places a chiefs of divisions
with a salary of $4,000 or $4,000, Of
which there are a large number to be
appointed. As the trusts are princi
pally interested in these latter-namet
offices, only those should apply who
have not openly expressed an opin
ion adverse to the trusts, for the an
tecedents of applicants will be close
ly investigated.
The most influential senators, wh'
will have most to say in the distribu
ton of this patronage are Aldrich

THE WINTER WOODLAND.

Against the snow the forest trees
Stand stern and black and stark,
Intent on every passing breeze
From week to week they bark.
They bark for Pan amid the void;
For birds that gaily sing;
Stanch sentinels, through storm and cold
They watch and wait for spring.
About their feet the timid hare
A sally bold has made;
The nimble squirrel scamDered there
Athwart the powdered glade.
The wood mouse here in terror ran,
The owl upon his heels;
And more. a life unseen by man,
The telltale snow reveals.
While grim, submissive, over all
The world that moves below,
Chained fast in winters icy thrall .
The trees but letters know.
Not theirs to wander far n wide
Through still and crystal bowers;
IT'S theirs in patience to abide
And wait the April showers.

When Secretary Shaw makes a
speech, anyone, even the most I'M
sophisticated, would mark him as a
patriot of the Flanagan school. He
exults over the old flag and sheds
tears of joy at the prospect Of an
appropriation and revels in spoils.
His picture of the Filipinos weeping
over the chances of being deprived
of Gov. Taft and their devotion to
the star-spangled banner-as long as
the donations hold out-was drawn
with q pencil that shows a master
hand at this style of oratory. Brother
Shaw should be kept upon the stump
by the administration; he may render
much greater service there than he
can possibly give in thigh finance"
