THE OLDEST ORPHAN

A melancholy plant is offered by the
governor of Hawaii, which would have

1ppineS and Panama, were they not al
ready aware of the sort of master to

age Gov. Carter declares that the an
neXation OF the Hawaiian islands to
the United States has been CONNER
cial disaster as far as they are con-
cerned. They have made no progress
internally. They have no trade ad-
vantage which they did not possess
before, under the reciprocity treaty.
Their domestic affairs are checked and
regulated by an authority at a dis
lance They are subject to embar-
RAISING laws of the United States.
We do not improve their harbors or
develop their trade. We have DESTROY
ed their internal revenue and gathered
millions into the treasury, which they
have had to contribute. 1t is one
sided bargain. The Hawaiians. who
entered into it only by force and
fraud authorized by the United States
government, are powerless to repeal a
compact to which they never for a mo-
ment consented. No man can live
among them with "a sense of Justice.
decency and fair play such as Gov.
Carter has, and not feel for them an
indignant sympathy.
If we have punished Hawaii with
whip of thongs, we are chastisine the
other colonies with the lash of scor-
piens. We have crushed hope out of
the people of Porto Rico by our treat
ment of her chief product and leading
industry. The tariff regulations an
piled TO the Philippines are little less
than infamous. So that we obtain and
hold our trade advantages in the ISL
ands, we care nothing about what be-
comes of Philippine industry or Philip-
pine trade. Down on the isthmus. al
though our authority there can be
counted by weeks, the people already
see that it spells disaster and are af-
frlghted by the financial ruin that
confronts them. Hawaii is only thu
eldest orphan of a brood that has
found out how cruel are the tender
mercies of the United States.
This is the working out of an inn
mutable law. Ii could not be that
good should come from our evil de-
parture from the old ways. The
United States has no more business
with subject colonies than it has With
thrones and crowns and titles of no
bility and secret dungeons and an
planes of torture. 1t has made
long step backward, which we do not
lose hope of retracing. 1t is as i'm
possible that we should manage sue
cessfuliy the business of colonies as
it is that an honest man should make
success of keeping fence for stolen
goods The principle is wrong. and
from that ill-smelling fountain pure
waters cannot issue.
Everywhere the story is the same.

former clerks and deputies. Mr.. Dunn
does not deny the allegation of fact,
but says he signed. the Mabel Evans
lease on one piece of property, worth
on Mr.. Dunn's own showing some mil
lions of dollars, without even looking
at it, Mr.. Dunn's theory is that it is
none of the public's business if that
lease now turns up in the hands of the
clerks who prepared the lease for his
signature. The public is likely to hold
to a different theory.
The charges made in the Johnson
report are strengthened by the lame
and impotent defense offered by Mr.
Dunn. The total want of a defense, the
astonishing admissions made by Mr.
Dunn regarding the mineral leases. the
obvious conformation of offenses de-
scribed by the statute as misdemeanors.
makes it clear that Mr.. Dunn holds
official obligations lightly. His defense
to the charges made regarding the COL
lection of stumpage imposts may be of
more avail 1t is technical and appears
to be specific. 1t involves contention
between Public Examiner Johnson and
State Auditor Iverson, both presumably
experts. Further light is needed here.
"a, But it is now apparent that Robert
c. Dunn is not the man the people of
this state will want to trust with the
office of governor. There is a cloud
upon his official record, and when that
cloud is dispelled there will be exposed
a. crew of sinister aspect and active
capacity for official evil. When clerks
come into possession Of millions
through the signing of single docu-
ment by their official chief and that
chief holds his duty SO lightly that he
does not deign the most cursory inspec-
tionsof the paper, there must be some
thing rotten at the core.
The. ex--state auditor is a candidate
for an office to which no man whose
hands and skirts are not absolutely
clean should be elected. His official
record is irnpugned and he makes no
defense worthy the name. Opposed to
him for that Office is an able, clean and
capable man who has served the people
well officially. There should be no
hesitation in choosing between the two
men. John A. johnson is entitled to
the franchises Of every right thinking
man in this state. It is not a matter
Of politics, but of morals. The election
. OF Robert c. Dunn in the face of the
Johnson charges and his own admis-
sion would be unworthy of the state
of Minnesota.

THE PROBLEM OF THE ouRAR-
TER

"A yOutS 1NCW 1Ot h HOiliciiA las bSSA'
contributing to a popular magazine
series of articles in which she por-
trays the hunor and the pathos Of
child life in one of the foreign quar-
tiers Of that big city. The writer is,
or rather has been. teacher in the
public schools of Gotham, and it is in
her capacity as teacher that she has
met the small foreigners and has come
in contact with their parents. Tha
from her sketches is that racial clan
nishness is carried ta extreme lengths
in the quarter she pictures; that, aside
from the money making opportunities
which it presents America is only
a word to the immigrant who settles
in the quarter; and that it is exceed
ingiy difficult work, because Of the
suspicious of their parents, to make It
mean anything more to the children
public schools.
What is true of one foreign quarter
must, in a greater or less degree, be
true of every other. AS matter of
fact the immigrant who comes from
his home in the old country straight
to the quarter where he meets only
his own people hasn't much of a
chance to learn what Is meant by
American citizenship. In the new
country he finds conditions little bet
ter than they were In the old. HIS
surroundings are not improved, often
they are worse He is herded with
others of his kind in an unsanitary
tenement where he hears only his
own tongue, and America is as far re-
moved from him as it was before he
crossed the water.
The hope Of the quarter is the chill
/ dren, of course. In the public schools
these obtain a glimpse of different
kind of life, and they begin to realize
that just across the threshold Of their
tenement lies a country called Ameri-
ca. But the magazine sketches re-
ferred to show with what suspicion the
parents, who have no knowledge of
America, view their offsprings slow
transformation into Americans. Nat
urally the influence Of the elders is
against the effort of the public school
nj cbo dc Ia
icapped in her work. And when, as
frequently happens in large cities, ed
ucation is denied the children of the
quarter because Of the crowded eondi-
ton of the schools, they are doomed
as are their parents to remain for
eigners or two-thirds foreigners, at
least.
The problem Of the quarter will be
solved when some means are found
of introducing America into the quar-
ter Bringing the quarter into Amer
lea, via the public schools, is satisfac-
tory in the end, doubtless, provided all
of the quarter is brought to the
schools; but it is slow process and
the parents of the children remain
largely unaffected by it. If the quar-
ter could be abolished altogether it
would be an excellent thing both for
the foreign citizen and for America.
So long as it exists in it's present con-
dition it Will be a menace to both.

Mr.. DUNN's DEFENSE

I h e Clio b e this morning prints
ar. X. {. Dunns rejoinder to the
charges made by Public Examiner
Johnson in the latter's report on the
administration of the office of state
auditor under Mr.. Dunn. AS defense
the statement, of Mr.. Dunn is a most
lamentable failure To the charge
made that clerks in his office are par
ties to contracts controlling the min
eral rights to lands of enormous value
Mr.. Dunn replies Zone mans money
is just as good as another's to the
state. And that is the keynote to
the defense offered to a series of accu-
sations of staggering Importance, to
the commonwealth, going as they do
to the very foundation of good gov
eminent, which requires personal as
well as official integrity in public
functionaries.
With Mr.. Dunn's attack on Gov. Van
SAINT and the present administration
the public has nothing to do. The
nature of the Johnson report precludes
the necessity for speculation as to the
animus of Gov. Van SAINT and the pub
lie examiner. We can very we'll I'M
derstand that so far as the adminis-
tration of public affairs is concerned
the party that has been and is now in
power is represented by self-seeking
men who would take any advantage
that would rebound to their personal
and political advancement That has
been demonstrated in so many ways
That 1t is matter of superiority for
Mr.. Dunn to call attention to it. 1t
may be admitted that Van SAINT and
Dunn, and there is some evidence that
Mr. Dunn esteems both the Others
lightly. But that haseno bearing on
the fact that the public examiner of
the state of Minnesota has said in an
official report that, under Mr.. Dunn,s
administration, the clerks in his office
were permitted to acquire for them
selves and their friends privileges or
enormous value in lands absolutely
under the control of the state auditor.
and that, through official negligence or
incapacity, vast tracts of land belong
ing to the state We're denuded of their
forest wealth without proper consider
alton to the people.
1t would appear from the reioinder
OF Mr.. Dunn to the charges made or
implied in the Johnson report that the
Republican candidate for governor is
under the impression that he is en-
gagged in polemical discussion with Mr..
Johnson. AS matter of fact the pub
lie wanted from Mr. Dunn some evil
dence that he was wrongfully accused
in the Johnson report. Even under
such elastic rules as might be applied
to the sort of contest that is going on
1t is no proof of high minded integ-
rity on the part of Mr. Dunn for him
to say that Van SAINT is guilty of sharp
practice. Let that be admitted and
where does it leave Mr.. Dunn?
Denuded of their envelope of official
verbiage, the Johnson charges imply
under Dunn's administration of the de-
partment of state lands leases on iron
lands of enormous value were issued to
dummies and that now some of these
leases are controlled by Mr. punn's

The strong man threw aside his

This one weighs 200 pounds, gen

With only his left hand he plucked it
from the mat and poised it in the air,
letting it fall a moment later with a
ethud that knocked down a stack of
coins in the box office of the Grand.
(Greater applause.)
"One hundred and sixty five, gen.
tlemen." This weight the strong man
toyed with, striking some very effect

HES wearing himself out" said the
villain under his false mustache as he
fingered bunch of cutlasses and
divers weapons. Ssh h-h."
1.-TWO hundred and eighty-five
pounds, gentlemen" said the strong
man sententiously. (Subdued "Ohs.")
The modern Samson then tossed the
two eighty-fve dumb bell from one
hand to the other and dropped it on
the stage amid prolonged applause.
Hes worn out" said the villain, an
attitudinous individual, who posed like
a pouter pigeon. With this remark he
passed the cutlasses to his eight pals
with the command to cut the Her
eules to bits. The strong man. how
ever, possessed himself of q cofIpIe of
broadswords and swinging them as
though he We're merely taking exercise
with Indian clubs. he stretched the
eight out in picturesque attitudes
around the gymnasium.
The above is the piece de resistance
of the entertainment captioned For
His Brothers Crime" There are other
denouements, but even the sustaining
of the wrecked bridge while a team of
horses passes over it is less spectacular.
Mr. Montgomery Irving, the modern
Samson, is a wonderful physical speci-
men. and unlike many specialists of the
modern melodrana he is not a bad
actor. Far from it. He displays ex-
cellent Judgment and does not over
act. He appears to be very modest for
one possessed Of such unusual physical
accomplishments. His voice. though
hoarse from a cold. is pleasing.
The play is sad affair. The lines
allotted to the role of the villain are
atrocious. Throughout the whole play
he is going to cut the hero to bits or
poison or brain or shoot him or his
sweetheart because the latter refuses to
become his, the villains. Much license
has been allowed the melodrama mix
ers, but of late they have abused ii.
There is no reason why a melodrama
should not have some semblance of
common sense.
A very good specially is performed
in the second act by the three Her
bert brothers, acrobats. Little Miss
Claire Schade sings very prettily, the
ballad, For Sale: A Baby and also
dances very well. Celia Rosewood
sings and dances acceptably. Don C.
Merryfield gets a few moments relief
from the silly character he essays by
singing a clever song called 'sTippe-
canoe"
The play is adequately staged.
