Half-breed organs whiningly COM
plain that the exalted position occu-
pied by La Toilette as Governor,
should shield him from adverse criti-
cism. When Governor goes about
his state, and on the rostrum public
ly charging wholesale bribery of
members of the Legislature without
making any attempt to sustain his
charge, and does many other things
equally reprehensible, disgracing his
position and himself, he removes the
barrier which many enormously
suppose should protect him against
unfavorable comment on the part of
the "common herd" La Toilette
has, by his own acts, forfeited what
ever exemption from criticism the
glamour of the executive position
may ordinarily have thrown around
him. Besides, if the position of
Governor places man beyond the
pale of criticism, how would the
same rule strike the half breed press
when applied to a member of either
house of Congress?

Well, did he? Senator Spooner

Could Gov. La Toilette have been
elected without the carrying of the
ticket? If Senator Spooner refused
to make fool of himself by an

tainly to his credit as a man. And
it is patent fact that the larger

The most astute diplomats and
statesmen of Germany assert that,
as an outcome of the war now be-
ginning in the east, Great Britain,
Japan and the United States will
combine to dominate the Orient.
Japan, as the central figure, confined
to the northern islands, is fighting
for it's existence. The United States
must defend the Philippines. Great
Britain must maintain its supremacy
in India. The Great Northern
Bear moves ponderously along to
control all eastern, and possibly,
southern Asia He must be fenced
into his legitimate preserves. A
combination as intimated above will

Well, they don't tell all of the truth /,
evidently. But we know the war
correspondents are liars, and they
tell too much. They do not even
make good guesses. Many of their
stories are patent falsehoods. A
week ago the Emperor of Japan or
dered his troops and battle ships to
take Port Arthur at all hazards on
a certain day. The Mikado was
very kind to tell the war cores
pondents Of this order before it was
given! The Russian Vladivostock
fleet was demolished three times
last week and is ready for final de-
struction yet. The latest news is
that the Russian Commander in the
Orient has decided to march his
forces between the two armies of
the Japanese in Korea. Place his
army between the supper and neither

1t would seem reasonable that the
inaugurating of a policy abandoning
the insuring of the public buildings
of the state contemplated a sufficient
business capacity and sagacity in
officials to make preparations for the
prevention of fires and their ready
extinguishment should they occur.
The insurance companies taking fire
risks look carefully to the contin-
gency of fires. Surely those who
have the states property in charge
where there is no insurance should
be as exacting as the insurance COM
panies. The capitol fire should not
have occurred. Having happened,
means should have been available
for its quick extinction. The horse
has gone, but a lock should be put
on the stable door to save the har-
| ness.

faith in the credulity of the people.
With one hand he is striving vigor-

pie to a condition of serfdom, while
with the other he is theoretically
engaged in an attempt to secure the
election of a railway attorney to the
position of Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court. Before it is ever
lastingly too late, La Toilette should
heed Lincoln's admonition that,
"You can fool all the people some
of the time, and some of the people
all of the time, but you cannot fool
all of the people all of the time.'

The great powers, other than
Russia, are partly responsible for
the war in the Orient. Ten years
ago Japan went to war with China
in contention for the independence
Of Korea. She won against China
and occupied Port Arthur, the key
to Korea and Manchuria. The
great powers interviewed and COM
PEELED Japan to give up this strong
hold. Then Russia steps in, gets a
lease of Port Arthur and occupies
and fortifies it and overruns Man
churia. Again the powers inter
vene and demand that Russia shall
vacate Manchuria. This she agrees
to do, even setting a time limit to
her occupation of the territory. This
time limit expired long ago-in
October, we believe. Japan, seeing
Russia fortifying all strategic points
and garrisoning them with full COM
plements of troops with an apparent
disposition to remain permanently
and dominate not only Manchuria
but Korea, thus menacing her own
existence, commenced the war, and
was amply justified in so doing.
The great powers should have
compelled Russia to vacate Man
churia and thus have removed the
occasion for this war.
