an ideal one, the pleasure I'M

the feast beyond description,

ISLAND STATEHOOD.

The people of Porto Rico are de.
manding statehood and threaten to
set up government OF their own
unless their wishes are granted. When
the Philippine islands and Hawaii
begin to think they are ready for
statehood and demand admission
what is this government going to do
about it! The idea of admitting them
rs states is a visionary dream and
can never be accomplished. Think
of these islands being in a position
to hold the balance Of power in con
gress or deciding presidential cleo
ton. The masses Of the people would
never consent to such conditions.
This being true, what are We going to
do with these dependencies? Shall
We hold on to them and govern them
as colonies after the fashion in which
Great Britain governed her American
colonies, or will some other solution
of the problem be foundS If We re-
fuse their demands and they resist
our authority, shall We send an army
after them and whip them back into
line? The action of tho Porto Rico
suoietcs is but the first low murmur-
ings where some day shall roll a human
sea of rebellion, blood and carnage;
for those people will no more submit
to being governed by a nation that
gives them no voice in its government
than did the brave men Of the Ameri
can revolution. These questions are
all coming to the trout to be solved
and this government cannot escape
them. What to do with our, colon
les is going to be burning question,
the hardest problem this nation has
ever undertaken to solve.

The birth rate is declining in many

There is strong talk of third
newspaper being established here,
1t is to be republican In politics and
the organ of political manipulators
and politicians, consequently the
Press is not much interested in the
fact whether it is or is not started.
But We do know that the business of
the community will not support three
newspapers and the old established
Press, with its guaranteed circulation,
and standing, will not be affected by
the enterprise. 1t is a question OF
years, and not days, to build up the
circulation of newspaper, aud its
value as an advertising medium de
ponds on the number Of readers. ANY
mushroom newspaper may bloom In
a night and run through a political
campaign aud die for want of sup
port. Those persons behind the new
newspaper may or may not succeed
in making 1t permanent thing, that
only two or three years Of experience
can determine. But business men
are not going to throw money away
on every new sheet that starts up,
because they advertise for results
and are not going to spend money
for the sake of helping somebody.
For these reasons the old established
Press will he able to go along with
its business undisturbed while the
two republican organs fight it out 10
a finish. 1t is not our fight and the
fact that one republican faction is
for an organ to fight the other
faction, shows there is not harmony in
their ranks.

WORK OF UMPIRES.
Averages of the Arbitrator Better
Than Those of Players.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From The Chicago Tribune.
When base bail umpire makes pad
decision which affects the result or, or ac-
tually decides, close game, the players
who lose and the spectators, too II IL Is d de-
feat for the home team, are unanimous III
the cry of robbery The umpire Is calied
names of which thief is the most respect
able and gentle, and sometimes ne Is ac
tually mobbed. Many times When the UNI
piTe is blamed for defeat IL was not MS
fault at all. The majority or the close oe-
ciSionS which are disputed are given cor
rectly by the average umpire, but these re-
marks concern cases where umplreS MAKE
actually incorrect decisions. II IS one oi
the mysteries of human nature why tne
umpire Is of necessity treated as per-
sonal and collective enemy by the players
and the public. 1t often happens THAT a
player makes an error which brlhsS deieat
on the nome club-much more o1teh IMAM II
can be laid to the umpire, yet no one ever
saw the players of "a club surround ana zap
at the fielder whose error lost a game, nor
yet has a home crowd ever threatened 10
MOB the maker of such a costly error. II
would be considered highly unsportsman-
IKE for either players or spectators TO mai
treat a player who brought defeat on MS
side. Why is it any less unsportsmanlike
70 Derate an umpire for the same tnlns!
Take the major league umpires of today,
as RUE, ana no player on any team tries
hardef TO DO his work perfectly than 90 the
men who handle the indicators. Including
iiA.o VI caiiS ana 81 heS' - N'P
IN every game has more "chances to make
errors than all the rest of the players put
together IL shortstop has busy day
and misses one out Of a dozen or fifteen
chances, he is excused even If the mistake
lost the game. If an umpire makes one
mistake out of $50 he is rotten and many
worse things in the minds of the fanatics.
ms Is an entirely distorted view of things
ana an honest, impartial umpire is entitled
to as much consideration as hard-wofk-
ing payer. IL the player is incapable ne is
not Kept in the game longer than Is neces-
sary to md better man for his place. The
same is true of an umpire. But there are
pires, good bad or Indifferent, consequently
the task of replacing an incapable umpire
is difficult one
