Hold on! You must not do this You
have wronged Colombia" Following
that line of argument it is easy to see
that If democra lc house were elect
ed 1t would refuse to carry out the
work which this government now has
entered upon. We AL remember what
was done in the case of Hawaii The
people of Hawaii revolted, turned out
the barbaric native government and
established republic. To preserve
peace and to take care of American
interests which were predominant in
the islands the American naval COM
mander landed marines and hoisted
the American flag. Peace was preserv-
ed, business went on, no man was dis
turbed and a new government pros
pered.
Just at that juncture the Cleveland
administration came in. Commission
er Blount ("Paramount Bounty was
sent to Hawaii and hauled down the
flag. Fortunately this infamy was not
permitted to be perpetuated.
The republicans would not stand for
it and as result Hawaii is today a
territory of this country and COM
mercial and military outpost of the
United States in the Pacific ocean. Is
there any man who would undo that
condition?
And yet it is perfectly reasonable to
suppose, Judging from the expressions
of German and his democratic col
leagues in the senate on the Panama
question, and judging from the atti-
tude of Judge Parker on the Philip
pines. that the democrats if they had
even partial power would try to en-
barrass this government in its dealings
with Panama and perhaps advocate
the taking down of the American flag
on the Panama strip and the abandon.
ment of the great work of building an
Isthmian canal.
The only way to prevent embarrass-
ment is to re-elect republican house.
Then there will be harmonious &C.
ton between the legislative and exec
utive branches of the government and
the good American work will go on.

IN VIOLATION OF A TREATY.

Chicago Tribune.-The Iowa legis
lature has enacted an Inheritance tax,
law which discriminates against alien
heirs. The duties they are required to
pay are four times those imposed on
resident heirs. The law is invalid, at
least so far as German alien heirs are
Concerned for the treaty between the
United States and the German empire
provides that "in all SUGGESTIONS to in
heritances citizens of each of the con-
tracing parties shall pay in the coun-
try of the other such duties only as
they would be liable to pay If they
We're citizens of the country in which
the property is situated"
The German consul in this city has
called the attention of Iowa district
judges to the law and the treaty. AS
they know that treaties made under
the authority OF the United States"
form part of the supreme law of the
land" they will perceive that the dis
elimination against German aliens
cannot be defended.
1t Is always expedient for state leg
islatures when enacting laws which
may affect the citizens of other coun-
tries to study the treaties of the Unit
ed States to find out how far it Is safe
to go. The Illinois general assembly
passed law seventeen years ago re-
| garding the ownership of real estate
| py Aliens Wnlcn was discovered IN the
course of time to be in contravention
of an old treaty with one of the North
German states, and the law had to be
recast.
So the Iowa legislature will have to
amend it's Inheritance tax law. It
should not require any alien heir, even
though there are no treaty stipulations
to protect him, to pay higher duty
than if he were citizen of Iowa. Dis
| examinations of the kind rnantiop0d
cannot be justified. They are sort Of
relic of barbarism-of the days when
the stranger was regarded as fair
prey.

LET THE GOOD WORK PROCEED

While it is reasonable to suppose
that the presidential election will oc-
cupy the public mind in the coming
campaign to large degree the bust
ness interests of the country will not
overlook the fact that the COMPRESSION
! al election is very important. The
average man in the street is now talk
ing mainly about Roosevelt and Par
ker. He can take his choice accord

thinks for moment must realize that
there is something more than pres
ident to be elected
Suppose for a moment that the dem
ocrats should elect house of repre-
sentatives. What would be the result?
h Inevitably it would be confusion and
\ confounding of all the ordinary course
! of legislation. Even if the democrats
should elect the president it would not
help anything; there would be the re-
publican senate to prevent any legis-
lation which the republicans might
think inimical to the best interests
of the country.
At this time indications seem to
point to the election of a republican
president. Even the democratic man
sAagers admit that unless political rev.
blution occurs they cannot hope to

RoosEvELT's DOCTRINE.

'It is almost as necessary that our

''The true welfare of the nation is

The democratic orators when talk
ing of the tariff would have the peo-
pie believe that under their manage
