Americans Everywhere.
the Chicago Inter-ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Americans have come to regard the
world as their field of useful endeavor.
American branch houses are by no
means confined to Smyrna. They are
to be found in all parts of the globe,
competing with the branch houses Of
English. German, French, and italian
establishments, and, generally speak
ing competing successfully.
We are rather new in the desert
trade, but our caravans are con-
stantly growing in number and in size.
Our empty tin cans mark distinct
pathways around and up and down the
globe. Wherever man has a fondness
for preserved things. there we are also.
Wherever man uses things, there We
are likewise
Our camel trains are distributing
not only the necessities but the luxur-
les throughout the sandy Orient, and
it is a backward oasis in these days
that does not possess an American
phonograph equipped to play the ma
tive airs Of an ancient pastoral neople
or the tunes from the latest Broadway
musical comedy.

THE ANSWER.

A SUSSEX paper asks The Evening
n Journal whether il believes that
Mr.. Lea when he becomes Governor win
favor the repeal OF the Voters Assist
ant law. We answer, in the first place.
that the matter of most vital concern
is what kind OF a man he is, in what
mold he has been cast?
OF course Mr.. Pennewm favored the
repeal or non-enforcement of the law.
Probably he is honestly opposed to IL.
but at the same time. he realized that
to repeal or nullify 1t would work to
the advantage OF the party which NOM
mated him. But il has not occurrerd TO
us 10 inquire where Mr.. Lea stands. 1t
is SUFFICIENT for us to know the charac-
ter and standing Of the man who is so
soon to be Governor.
For all We know should a bill for the
repeal Of the Voters Assistant act come
70 Mr.. Lea he may refuse his signature;
he might return 1t with the recommen-
dalton that It's repeal be accompanied
with a general election law providing
some assistance for the unlettered
voter
We don't know IN detail what Mr.. Lea
viii do as Governor; nobody knows In
fact. one promise OF his strength lies in
the fact that he has not made promis.
cuous promises and pledges. Even al
the time when there was some doubt
about his election, he refrained from
protestations OF any plans and pur
poses, possibly because he did not hav
to make them.
We believe from a Democratic stand
point Mr. Pennewill would have mad
a good Governor, and we believe tina
Mr.. Lea has every whit as much char
acter and even greater ability, becaus
OF his vast business experience.
Now one thing more: lIr. Lea ha
been elected Governor Of Delaware and
Providence willing. ne Will serve in tha
capacity FOR four years. It is prope
as well as polite for our Democratl
friends to salute him as they chief exc
cutive and to expect only a wise, cleai
administration. We do not believe the,
will be disappointed.

In Favor Of ! strona Navy.

From the New orleans Plcayune (Dem)
AS yet there has been no popular de-
mand for the stoppage Of naval ex-
pansion. and there is no indication that
such a demand is impending. That the
naval expenditures must continue graz
dually to increase IS inevitable. and it
would be folly to build expensive ships
II they are not to be kept IN comnis-
sion. The personnel OF the navy must,
therefore. be added TO both in the COM
missioned and enlisted ranks, no mat
ter II a few million dollars are added
to the already large expenditures. For

not a party question. but q patriotic
one, hence it IS not likely to be ap-
preached IN any narrow OF partisan

What facts? Did the inspector who

while the sealed boxes We're in the Gus

EDITORIAL OPINION

A japanese Experiment in Florida.
From the Boston Transcript.
The steamer Manchuria--slgniHc
name-has just landed in San Francisco
five japanese, en- route for Florida.
They are the advance guard OF a colony
Of forty or fifty families that propose to
locate in the Peninsular State and en-
gage in the cultivation OF $4,000 acres OF
land. They will devote themselves to
the raising OF silk, cotton, tobacco and
pineapples. So far as we know, this is
a pioneer movement by these people in
this country. and the results Of the ex-
pertinent will be watched with interest.
We rather expect Il to be a success, be-
cause the Japanese are accustomed to
succeed in their various lines OF in
dustry.

Tho lewis and clark Fair.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Tri-
bune.
The Lewis and Clark Exposition is a
matter largely based on sentiment. but
much more largely based on business.
IL viii open In the summer of 1905. and
continue with open gates for four and
one-half months, In a magnificent expo
sitlon of the wonders Of the great
Northwest and the Pacific Coast, with
appropriate remembrances and relics Of
the two great explorers and pioneers.
Because their work pointed 10 the fu-
ture so strongly the managers Of the
enterprise call the exposition the "Or-
entail Fair" and an Oriental fair 10 will
be. Japan and China and the Philip
pines will be represented in all depart
ments Of trade and commerce, and the
manufactured fabrics for which the
Orient is famed.
It will be a great fair, and with the
jamestown tercentenary the era Of fairs
and centennials viii pass until the
coming of July 4. 1876 and the opening
Of the expositions of that year-the de-
tails whereof concern no man Of the

THE TRUE ATTITUDE.

THE SUNDAY STAR in commenting
\ on things political says several
pertinent things. for instance:
The way 70 punish violations Of
the law is to file information against
the offenders and bring them to
trial before our courts. Any citizen
who is possesses OF a knowledge OF
such violations can take this course,
and we judge from what Every
Evening says that its publisher has
this knowledge If that Is the case,
let him file an information and thus
put II up" to the proper officials to
prosecute. or by their failure TO do
so to demonstrate that the law Is
inadequate.
Yes; enough has been said about the
violations Of the election laws to bring
home to every citizen a knowledge Of
the actual conditions. The only thing
in order now is a discussion of rem
edies. The star suggests the filing Of
information with the Attorney General;
we further suggest that the Attorney
General call upon persons claiming to
have information of frauds on the peo-
pie to lay their information before him.
The Star says again:
The Evening journal makes some
good suggestions In this direction.
We would like TO see something
done along the line mapped out by
the Journal. but it must be admit
ted that the case Is rather hope
less from the fact that the very men
to whom we must appeal for re-
dress have mostly arrived at their
position as lawmakers through the
very agencies against which any
effort for reform must be made
Stil Il Is worth while to make the
effort, for there must be many
members Of the Legislature.--even
though they be benehciaries Of
vicious system,-who will see the
wisdom Of correcting an evil that
sooner or later, II permitted TO con-
unue Will sap the very foundation
J OF free government and thereby
menace their own individual liber-
ties.
Here 1t hits upon another truth. Leg
islators are not always as corrupt as
the system under which they have been
elected. Paradoxicaly as 1t may seem.
many man is proof against bribery
whose election in part is due TO II. And
we doubt not that there are members
Of our Legislature who have proated
by the system who really loathe IT,
and who may be induced to take q
hand in trying 10 eradicate it. Ther,
is our hope; let's take advantage Of it
