SENATOR HoAR's. WISDOM
Chicago Record-Herald

3 At the banquet in the Union League
club last night, in responding to the toast
Our Guest Senator Hoar, after calling
attention to the statement of Secretary
Root that reconstruction and the
achievements which followed the war have
been a failure" proceeded to defend the
policy of the government in the past. and
to make plea for the negro and the
southern people, who are declared to be
his worst foes. He said:
Il know how sensitive our southern
friends are on this matter of social equal
ity and companionship, and 7 think I
might say fairly and properly-and that
perhaps 1 have a right to say it-that it
is not wise for the people of the north to
undertake to deal rashly or even to Judge
hastily of a feeling SO deeply implanted in
their e bosoms. They know something
about it, and while any negro who is a
gentleman would be welcome at my table,
and as a guest in my home at any time,
shall not attempt to thrust my Judgment
in this matter upon men who have been
differently educated.

be a, sign that they ought not to be recon
ciled to it, and that some other mode of
life for them must be devised

my life politically and personally has been
a life of almost constant strife with the
leaders of the southern people, yet as
! grow older l have learned not only to
I respect and esteem, but to love the great
qualities which belong to my fellow citi-
zens Of the southern states. They are a.
noble race. We may well take pattern
from them in some Of the great virtues
which make up the strength a s they make
the glories Of the free states. Their love
OF home; their cllivalrous respect for wo-
4 men; their courage. their delicate sense
| of honor; their constancy, which can
abide by an opinion or a purpose or an
interest for their states through adversely
and through prosperity, through the years
and through the generations, are things
by which the people Of the more mercurial
north may take a lesson. And there is
|another thing-covetousness, corruption.

Much Importance Is attached In WASH

case, and reasonably, too. it seems. It is
difficult not to infer from this decision
that the supreme court will indorse the
most extreme measures aimed at driving
Objectionable combinations out of inter
state commerce. The decision should be
a lesson to- great CORPORATIONS that are
disposed to use their resources and or

Western Canada in 1908.

AS an inspection of our pages to-day
will show western Canada expects and is
planning great things for this year. IN
every way the outlook for a great in
crease of population and a marvellous de
velopment of the country is good.
1t is now certain that the squirt taken
by western Canada last year was not
spasmodic. The indications are that
many more Americans will find homes
in the Canadian ,prairies this year than
last, and reports from England indicate
the appearance Of a veritable Canadian
fever in that country. 1t is believed
that $4,000 Englishmen will emigrate to
Canada this season. Just how many
Americans will go is hard to determine.
nearly $4,000 Americans annexed them
selves to Canada in that year, but from
our knowledge of how these figures are
collected we think they are not reliable.
The number may have been more, or it
may have been less than officially re-
ported. But the number of Americans
taking homesteads and buying farms last
year foretells an immigration this year
that will be much larger There have
been estimates as high as 100000, but
that is probably much too large a figure.
Whether, Americans deprecate this
movement or not, the fact remains that
it exists and will continue so long as the
policy Of keeping the country before
American homeseekers is maintained by
Canadian governments, railways and
land companies. While we have been
I filling up, or at least, opening up, prac
tically all of our own west capable OF
utilization under present conditions, the
Canadian west has remained compare
| lively untouched. 1t is not surprising
that our restless and ambitious popula-
ton should, now that it realizes that the
Canadian land is good, pour over the
borders and take possession of the vas
tracts of unused land. g
| It is true that for commercial pur-
poses population in the Canadian west
is not so valuable to us as population i'll
the American west, but we can not be
| lieve that the forty-ninth parallel is al
ways to bar the currents Of trade on this
continent. The bars may come dowr
| much sooner than now seems possible
That is the optimistic view of this move
| ment from an American point of view
At the worst. a. populous Canadian wes
must mean more to us than an unin11ab
tied region. Per capita, Canada is nov
our best customer, and the demand fo]
American goods will not be made less b,
filling the country up with Americans
Ii the movement into Canada were &C
companied by a neglect of American Oh
| portunities there would be more reaso,
to be irritated by it, But as a. matter i,
fact, the moving army of America,
homeseekers is SO vast-last year il wa
nearly 400, 000-that no matter how man
"slop over into Canada the sparseI
settled regions of our own west will con
tlnue to fill up very rapidly.

The refusal Of the democratic senators
to accept the compromise statehood bill
agreed upon by the republicans bids fair
to end all hope of a statehood measure at
this session of congress. The democrats
say that they cannot assent to the pro-
posed state of Montezuma, which would
saddle the people Of New Mexico and Arr
iona with burden too large for them to
bear. We fail to see reason in this state
ment. The burden of statehood IN a
sparsely settled region could much more
easily be borne by one than two states
with the multiplied ton OF expenditures
that two state governments would mean
II the democratic statement has any force
it is against statehood at all, for
it evinces lack of confidence in the fu'
ture growth of the region contained in the
two territories.

The Improvement league is taking a
commendable interest in the matter of
providing the courthouse and city hall
with beautiful approaches Disregarding
the question of expense, both the squares
facing the courthouse on Fifth street and
Fourth street should be turned into pub
lie parks. That on the Fifth street side
could more easily be obtained now, out
the Fourth street square is more needed
to set off the impressive proportions OF
the building We haven't the slightest
notion that the taxpayers can be pre-
vailed upon to approve of this approach
plan,. but we are equally certain that a
few years hence there will be great regret
that the courthouse was wasted on an un-
suitable environment. Fine public build

they daily come and co. are powerful

Most Of the lumbermen seem to be OPP
posed to the bill favored by the state
fire warden, providing for the burning OF
slashings. The bill requires lumbermen
to burn their, slashings before April ! of
each year or else foot the bill for the
work after that date by the fire warden
The senate and house committees on
forestry were to have held a joint ses-
sion this afternoon to hear the testimony
of lumbermen as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of
burning slashings but the hearing has
been postponed a week. The lumbermeI
may be right in their claim that to at
tempt to burn the slashings is to incu1

DON'T SWAP COUNTY HORSES,

District Attorney Breckons in his
speech Of Saturday evening struck an
election keynote that will appeal to
the thoughtful voters of this and other
counties. The Republican party put
the county law on the statute books,
1t gave the Territory of Hawaii the
first practical advance toward the local
self government allowed under the
Organic Act. Having accomplished
this, having laid the foundation, COM
mon sense and good judgment makes
the Republican party the logical agent
for inaugurating the government, and
completing the structure for which II
has made the required preparation.
Don't swap horses in the middle OF
the stream" is an old saying that cpl
tomizes Mr.. Breckons sound advice.
The sentiment has been sounded IN
many Q campaign of the mainland at
critical periods in national and mu-
nicipal history. Almost invariably
the people have seen the truth 1t points
and governed themselves accordingly.
1t was sounded in the second McKln-
ley campaign when the issue of what
10 do with the Philippines was put to
the front. The Republicans had start
ed out on this new feature Of national
