The bowknots are laid on with the

other opportunity to ship arrives, to
| the detriment both of the native pro-
| Queer and merchant and of American
! interests. The establishment of ample,
| regular and reliable transportation
| lines between the Philippines and the
| United States is for the best interests of
both, and this can be assured only I'M
der such regulations as the act pro-
poses.
No hardship will be done and no mo-
nopoly created. AS we have seen, there
! is ready for this trade all the ships
| that it requires. AS we have seen. rates
! cannot be run up to exorbitant figures,
| for there is plenty of capital to put
| on new lines to the Philippines the
moment rates become excessive. The
whole Pacific coast is open to this
| traffic. The opposition comes chiefly
| from large interests at the East, such
as the cordage trust, which find their
monopoly endangered if Manila hemp
| comes into the country by way of the
| Pacific coast and is manufactured near
the place of consumption throughout
the West instead Of paying its tribute
| to the Eastern factory first.
| In order that commerce between the
United States and the Philippines may
be unrestricted, may increase in vol
ume and may confer the largest adj
vantage upon both peoples, 1t Is i'm
| portant that it be brought within the
| provisions of our coasting lines as pro-
vided for by the act referred to. This
is not at all a party question, and the
I attitude of members to it should not
! be determined by party lines. 1t re-
lates to great national interests, and
congress should act favorably upon the
/ bill before adjournment.

A BILL THAT SHOULD PASS.

In the hurry of the last moments,
when an effort is being made to ad-
journ congress in aid of the Republican
campaign, there is one measure which
has been before it so long, has been so
thoroughly considered from all sides
and has so important a bearing on
the business interests Of the country
that it should not fail to pass even at
the last moment. We refer to the act
which proposes to place the carriage
Of merchandise between the Philippine
islands and the United States under
the control Of our coasting laws after
the first of July next. This is simply
another step toward harmonizing the
conditions in this country and the
Philippines; a movement toward that
unification of interests which alone is
defensible as long as the present reIa-
tons between this country and its
colonial possessions subsist.
The coasting trade of the United
States, by which is meant the carriage
of merchandise between one port and
another Of the country, is limited by
law to vessels of the United States.
Foreign ships cannot take part in 1t.
The regulation has worked well in our
past experience, has added to the
growth of the merchant marine and
has stimulated commerce. Whatever
may be thought of charges for land
transportation, we fail to recall at this
time any complaint of excessive rates
imposed anywhere on sea carriage be-
tween port and port within our domain.
The reason is obvious; since whenever
such rates become excessive, other
ships will be placed upon the same
route and the tolls cut down.
There are already ample facilities in
existence, or ready to be put on at an
early day., for the carriage of all the
trade with the Philippines. These ia
cilittes are owned and operated by cit
liens of the United States. It is in
finitely better that this business should
be carried by US than by the foreign
tramp ship. 1t steams into port one
day, demoralizes rates, cuts off bust
ness and makes it Improbable for cap
ital to continue regular lines and dates

TURN THE RAscALs QUIZ

A Washington dispatch to the Min
neapolis Journal says THE Democratic
platform win be an ampIifcation of the
old-time slogan Turn the Rascals
Out"
And if there were no application of
that slogan it would be sufficient dec
laration of principles upon which to
appeal to the country if the people
have observed the conditions under
which the government exists today.
The rascals have ramifed in every
department of the administration. They
stand very close to the head of the ma
ton, they control the federal offices,
they have a hand in the legislative
functions Of the government. Never
before in the history of the country has
the administrative influence been ex-
erted to procure an adjournment of
congress for the sole purpose of inter-
fering with the investigation of official
corruption. 1t is not even denied that
congress is to adjourn at the end of
this month because the majority party
does not desire to go before the people
and defend an administration as rotten
as that Of the postOffice department.
The investigation which was so ardent
~ desired by President Roosevelt is to
be postponed until the party for which
he stands has an opportunity to estab-
lish itself in power for four years more.
Enough has been discovered already
to prove that the ramifcations of graft
extend to practically every department
of the government. The postoff1ce is a
sink of corruption. The interior de-
partment is a shield for every conceiv-
able form of graft, from that of the
cheap crook who f1lches his blanket
from the Indian to the more extensive
operator who connives at the segrega-
ton of the public domain. The lid has
not been taken off the treasury depart
ment yet, and it should be. The con-
IlSClIOI VI the QepdI lIlGuL OIL justice
with the postoffice frauds was estab-
lished early in the investigation.
Working as individuals or in coaIi-
ton, under the protection of rich and
powerful national party, the rascals are
strong enough to clog the wheels of
legislation and hamper investigation.
The time has come for honest men to
give earnest attention to the thieves in
office and their protectors. It is evident
that the Republicans purpose keeping
the rascals in office. The Democrats
will most assuredly turn them out if
the opportunity is given them. Let us
consider a little the ACCESSIBILITY Of go
ing before the people with the slogan
Turn the Rascals Out"-without am
plifcation.

To the Editor of The Globe:
You are doing a splendid service when
you publish the charges of misconduct OF
public servants and calling upon the
proper authorities to investigate.
The people have long had a suspicion
that the mana gement of the penitentiary
is rotten. But the chances are that an
investigation by the board of control
would be barren of results. MFR. Wolfer
has been investigated once before by
a. committee of the legisla ture. 1t amount
ed to nothing. This committee was offered
evidence. but it did not want anything but
the testimony of Mr.. WolfeT. The chair
man of the committee is now on the
board of control, and this insures the
safety of Mr.. Wolfer. Their interests are
parallel. but not competing, which dis
tinguishes them from that ignis fatuus
fraud with which this whole gang from
Wolfer to Van SAINT, have fooled an I'M
thinking public. %. Tourson.

actresses during the past seven years.

country. She IS to present here "The
Little Minister" which Miss Adams
gave its original American production
and in which she began her starring
career.

was that an unusually heavy

A SENATORIAL STRIKE.

The country is full of apprehension
over the terrible possibilities involved
in a new departure of Senator Kit
fridge, of South Dakota. He had
charge of the bill for the government
of the Panama canal strip, and he vio-
lated every precedent of the senate IN
getting it through Instead of stand
ing up at odd times for several days
ana exhausting the English language in
speeches in its favor, instead of enlist
ing number of aids, each of whom
also devoted hours or days or weeks to
speechmaking, Senator Kittridge star
tied the senate chamber by simply
sitting mum. Whenever his bill was
attacked, he gazed at the ceiling and
said nothing. Whenever anybody of
fered an amendment, Senator Kittridge
called for vote. Without interfering
with the free and unlimited coinage, of
debate on the other side, he obstinately
refused to say one word in reply, but
simply waited until exhausted nature
forced a roll call.
This is virtually senatorial strike.
The principal business of the United
! States senate is known to consist of
talk. The senator who will not talk is
like the bricklayer or pIasterer who
VIII not work. He has gone out of the
only business with which he is directly
connected, and the republic looks OF
aghast. Fancy what would happen if
the example of Senator Kittridge were
to become contagious. Imagine the
| grave and reverend senators sitting
silent at their desks While the business
| OF actual legislation went forward. We
know that 1t takes flint as we'll as
steel to provoke a spark, and So we
| can be sure that if the making Of
speeches on one side were to have an
end those on the other would soon
peter out. There is no more fun in
talking without opposition than there
is in smashing pillow with your fist.
The cessation of affirmative debate
would soon cause negative discussion
to die a natural death. There would be
silence in the senatorial chamber. ex-
cept for the monotonous drone Of the
voice Of the clerk announcing sue
| cessive roll calls.
The business Of legislation and the
occupation Of speechmakine have ha-
come so inextricabIy mixed up in this
country that an effort to separate them
almost startles one. The house of rem
resentatives has found itself compelled.
IN defense Of it's very existence. to cut
| off speechmakfng by drastic rules. In
| the senate the freedom of discnSsio,,
has found it's last asylum. The attack
OF Senator Kittridge, however, is far
more dangerous than the adontion NJ
/ any system of closure. If any consid-
/ cradle number of senators shall follow
this lead and go on a strike against
| making speeches, we will nrason+1,,
nave TO create an arbitration tribunal
before whom the merits of public oues-
tlons may be canvassed. With debate
In the house cut off by gag laws and
confronted in the senate by the n1tiuv
of closed lips, what chance has oral orv
| to flourish, and what outlook is there
for suffering country?
