Mr.. Joseph Haworth has achieved n
notable success in New York as Cas-
sius in Richard Mansfield's production
of Julius Caesar" He has taken the
critical theatre-goers Of the metropolis
by storm and the critics Of the great
New York dailies, usually ut variance,
have once agreed in their unqualified
praise Of Mr.. Haworth. They have
not hesitated to proclaim him the star
of the production. Mr.. Haworth is
Catholic and am actor of rare ability
and promise.-An exchange. MIR.
Haworth was with the late John Nc
Cullough when that great tragedian
forgot his lines in Julius Cesar
during a performance. Haworth was
the lean and hungry Cassius in the
play, and his story Of McCullough's
mental collapse is pathetic in the ex.
IRENE. When Haworth was last il,
Minneapolis he brought tears to the
eyes Of his Catholic friends while re-
citing the embarrassment Of Nc
Cullough ON the occasion of his "brcak-
down" OH the stage.

the census man sets down As per cent,
as Irish, 1874 per cent. as German.
"a per cent as Canadian, &C per cent.
as English, 2 per cent. as Japanese
and I per cent as Chinese. In. 1900
there were 3,536 persons in the
United States who were 100 years Of
age or upward. This may not seem
particularly impressive as. an indica
ton of growing vitality when it is
placed beside the item that puts our
population at 76,OOO,OOO, but it means
something altogether different when
one is told that it gives us twice as
many centenarians as there are in
and Servia, with combined population
of 1876, 100000. Almost two-th:rds of our
centenarians are women. One Of the
most important facts that is deduced
from the comprehensive figures is that
which proves that there are more cen
tenarians accommodating in this country
during every decade. and the natural
corollary that the average length OF
life within our boundaries is appre-
ciahly increasing.

The American Navy.

One excellent lesson mas been taught
the American people by the bullying
action of England and Germany in
NcncZuelu-the absolute necessity of
having a navy large enough to defend
American interests against all Europe
if necessary. 1t is quite improbable
that all Europe will ever be arrayed
against us, but there can be no doubt
that some Of Europe will be so arraycd
from time to time. Since we have
chosen to become "a world power"
let us act out the part to the letter.
Let us not be depending on chance al
liances to make up for our naval de-
ticiencics. Every year our foreign re-
lations will grow more and more COM
plicated and our diplomatic life more
strenuous. Our imperialistic policy
has determined that much. Had we
not obtained territory in the Asiatlc
stands. England and Germany would
have had not even the shadow of

ter referring to Prince Bismarck's ex-
preston that the Monroe doctrine was
"a great piece Of inlpudencr." the Ger
man military writer says:
That was a true word. America is
divided into many states. In varieties
or race and language She is hardly
second to Europe. How can one state
assert that it has the right of intcrfer-
cnce and protection over an entire COLI
t!nent, and that it will tolerate only
under certain conditions any action,
however just. of European nations
against an American state?
"A further question is how it hap
pens that this doctrine, set up eighty
years ago by an American statesman,
has been able to justify itself in fact,
with absolutely no justification in the
law of nations? When the United
States feels herself threatened,
through occupation Of territory, of
course, She has the right, like any otl-
CT natlOn, TO raise Il protest, and, ii
necessary, employ force.
But there must be no talk OF even
an apparent recognition of the Monroe
Doctrine as an international law prin-
ciple on the part Of European nations
If the latter act otherwise they will
soon feel the thumbscrews which they
put on themselves
We believe that u great mistake was
made by the United States in taking
the Hawaain and Philippine islands
In the event Of Il war with Germany
or any other European power, these:
possessions would be source of
weakness instead Of strength to this
republic. In order to be able to meet
Germany and her allies Oh sea the
United States should lose no time III
building up strong navy. AS for
England, there is no danger from her
while Canada remains Il British de-
tendency. If Canada becomes Il re-
public and throws off the British coli
nectior, then England would be more
likely to join Germany against the
United States. But in case of war be-
tween the United States and the
Anglo German allies, Russia ana
France would not remain neutral
They would both aid the United States
against their hereditary enemies.
The German military writer says
that america is divided into many
states and that in varieties of race
and language she is hardly second to
Europe" That may be so, and yet the
people Of America, despite their conf
pick character and difference of lam
guage, are thoroughly American il
any emergency. Men of various races
and languages who became adopted
citizens Of the United States have
fought calamity in defense OF. the
Stars and Stripes on sea and land.
They did so i'll the Revolutionary War,
in the War of 1912, in the MeNi-
can War. i'll the Civil War, and in the
Spanish American War. They would
do the same in any war that mcnacetl

party has never been in favor Of any
part of this proposition.
No democratic platform has ever
proposed even to have protection
enough to maintain American wages at
the present standard, which is the
highest in the world. Democrats hold
that the workers should be left to look
out for themselves against foreign COM
petition, and that decreased cost of
goods, which is taken for granted,
would compensate the wage earners for
going down to the foreign level of pay.
In these days when a single ship car
ries an immense cargo, and can cross
the Atlantic in less than a week, the
adoption of tariff for government
revenue only would flood the country
with foreign goods made by men who,
receive but half the wages prevailing
in the United States. A short trial of
this supreme folly would result in a
speedy return to the protective system
that has brought about present condi-
tons. Even a serious threat of free
trade would convulse the industries of
the country.
In spite of these evident facts, the
democratic party still refuses to ad
vocate enough of protection to hold
American wages at the highest level
an arrangement that is perfectly right
and one that ought to be most zeal
ously guarded as a distinctive feature
in the national strength. AS the DEM
ocratic party is not now, and never
has been, for protecting the margin of
superiority In American wages, how
can it reasonably ask for working
mans vote?

TO TEST COYOTE BOUNTY
Prominent Sheep Men in Boise Will
Determine Its ConstitutionaIity

The constitutionality of the coyote
the Capital News. A number of the
leading sheep men of the state feel that
the tax of 1 cent a head on sheep for
paying the bounty on scalps is an i'm
position and they will appeal to the
supreme court to have the law declared
unconstitutional.
Those who are opposed to the law
say that it is of little value and costs
entirely too much for the benefits re-
ceived from it. Under the law every
sheep in the state is taxed one cent
which goes into a fund for the pay
ment of $3.50 for every coyote scalp
presented to the county auditor.
They further claim that the law
works an additional hardship and ex-
pense on them, as the law gives them
no protection or redress from hunters
who scatter poison around to kill coy
otes. They say the poison frequently
kills their dogs and they have no way
of collecting damages for their death.
Further it is claimed that hunters in
wade other states and then bring the
scalps into this state to collect the
bounty.
The outcome of the matter Is being
watched with considerable interest by
those who want the law repealed and
those who are in favor of it.
