American Optimism.

to see why that should be 80. Imagine q
community of men. able. energetic. original.
enthusiastic, placed suddenly. or almost
suddenly, as our English colonists were. I'm
land undeveloped. OVERLOOKING with every
blessing that lavish nature could bestow
upon 1t. OF course they prosper: of
course everything goes right; Of course the
Idea becomes bred in the bone of the men
that they Will succeed and must succeed.
no matter how many small DELAYS and in
conveniences may temporarily hinder them

obstacles-since every obstacle has gone
down before 1T in the past-naturally be-
comes careless whether the obstacles IL
meets are two or twenty. 1t will even
set up obstacles for itself. like ninepins to
knock them over again. A law, a condition.
a scheme is proposed. perhaps for private
ends mo matter. let us try it: If il does
not suit us 1t Is easy enough to sweep It
away and make another; whatever happens

ever We CO." 1t Is a dangerous optimism.
as all older nations know; 1t may lead
again. as 1t has led before, to horrors az
which men will recoil and will immediately
strive to remove. But 1t is an optimism
which must be taken into account In at

Assistant Secretary Darling of the Navy
Department has submitter to the President

Tutuila, Samoa, transmitting q petition ad-
dressed to the President Of the United
states by Tuimanua. district governor OF
Manua, extending thanks for everything
done by the United States government for
the people of Samoa.
In past years" says the native governor,
Samoa dwelt in the darkness and blood

all people dwell In friendship and observe
the beneficence Of the government of the
United States in the laws and all orders,
which have created peace and blessings
among all men-there Is protection when
we dwell under the flag of the government
OF the United States Of America,
Many evil customs have grown In Samoa
since heather times. with ignorance in
years gone by, because there was no in
struc.ton in civilized ways and wise meth
eds, such as practiced under your author
States Of America. in that there Is not an
other great power which can protect with
such honor.
We desire to represent to you our re-
Quest. Let 1t be the pleasure of your ex-
ceDency and the government of Samoa to
continue In that way toward this part of
Samoa instruct the present generation in
wise subjects.
There are now In this portion of eastern
Samoa. Manua, between 400 and 500 chill

We are endeavoring to teach them at the
present time. and we desire SHINE assistance

PAINTERS NOT INCLUDED.
Assessor Believes They Arc Not Sub
ject to License Fec.

Assessor Hopewell H. Darneille. at the
request of Commissioner West, has for
warded to that official an opinion on the
subject az to whether painters In the Dis
trict are required to pay license fee OF
s25 a year, a subject which was discussed
recently at q hearing granted by the Dis
trict authorities to representatives of the
Master Painters and Decorators Associa-
ton. Mr.. Darneille states that he does not
believe painters come within tine intention
Of the law, which requires building and
other contractors to pay a license fee Of
$25.
In his opinion submitted today Mr.. OAR
nellie says there has been a great deal OF
uncertainty az to the proper application OF
this provision Of the license law. The Po-
lice Court he says. has not expressed
definite opinion on the subject but seems
TO be inclined to give the provision wider
intention Of Congress. From the history Of
the act Mr. Darneile says he knows that
1t was the intention of Congress to make
the provision referred to applicable only to
general contractors. such as building. con-
struction and other contractors OF that
character, and not to include subcontract-
ors or persons engaged in business in
small way. TN my opinion. says the
assessor. "the proper way to carry out the
intention of Congress and to apply this
law is to regard 1t as applying only to gen
eral contractors engaged In construction
work.
Commissioner West has approved the
opinion.

Artificial Alcohol.
From Success.

That alcohol may be produced by chemf-
cal combination Of its elements, without
recourse to the fermentation Of sugar. has
been known to chemists sinct 1850. when
It was first SO prepared by Berthelop from
acetylene. That substance was then ex-
pensive and difficult to obtain. but, now
that it may be made by simply moistening
calcium carbide, which In turn is manu-
featured on large scale by the electrical
combination of lime and charcoal, chemists
are talking of a revolution in the alsohol
industry According to a recent French
writer, however, this revolution is not yet
upon u.s. for alcohol from artificial or syn
thetic processes cannot yet be produced so
cheaply as by fermentation and distilla-
tiou. So we shall still rely on nature to
r,aISa our alcohol for us. for the present,
combining our share in the matter to its
separation from admixed impurities and
diIutents.

EXTERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF
LIBERTY"

As we are about to inter upon one
of the most important political cam
paigns that has ever called our citi-
zens to the polls, it becomes the i'm
perative duty of all good Republicans
to be on the alert to circumvent the
scheming of our INSCRIPTIONS oppo-
nents. Encouraged by their previous
success, achieved through fraudulent
devices and unheard of trickery in
stealing the State and DISTINGUISHING
thousands of legitimate voters, there
s no telling to what depth of rascal
ity they may descend if again success
full.
Instead of making the casting of a
ballot An easy matter to the voter
they have thrown all manner of OBJ
stacles in the way to annoy, puzzle
and perplex him, and make his ballot
void when cast. If when there were
only three names on the ticket, and
but one Y to be made, no less than
OUU uOIl6SI anu TRUE NOG6Ts udu OuelT
ballot thrown out, who can predict
the result with not less than twenty
one cross marks to be made, selected
from the nominees of three-possibly
four or five-different parties and
seventy or eighty names, miscellane-
ously jumbled together, when either
Y, with too long tail or no tail at all,
will be caught in the Boss "steal"
trap? To vote correctly and avoid
mistakes will be no easy matter. 1t
will require keen eyesight, steady
hand and a determined will and
doubtless many will fall by the way
side Let every Republican and
every honest Democrat who despises
trickery be up and doing and let us
not permit the corrupt ring to steal
another United States Senator, or
place boss of the ring in the Gov
ernor's chair.
