Just American.

PhlTadeIphla Ledger.
 The spirit of Americanism has no place for Italian" Irish" German" Jewish" or any other sort of political clubs. Our naturalized citizens from whatever country they come, commit a serious blunder when they align thcm- selves politically under any distinctive racial or religious banner The strength of our nationality has been in it's power 10 absorb all foreign new corners into the body polite, and there must be no differentiation in American citizenship. The naturaliZed alien who appreciates this proud title will frown upon and reject every proposition that would mark him off as anything differ ent from or less than a free American

Territories Barred Oui.

Ex-Governor Murphy of Arizona is
here for the purpose Of opposing the
admission OF the Territories of Ari-
iona and New Mexico as one State.
He will have the sympathy of friends
Of the Territories.
Whatever real basis there may be
for the struggle to bar Territories
from the natural right of Statehood,
the matter has not been discussed
with frankness. Even so worthy an
authority as the editor of the Re
view of Reviews" decries the posi-
bility of creating States to become
pocket borougLs of the INSCRIPTIONS.
II political purity is the thing sought
to be conserved, his attention is called
respectfully 10 Pennsylvania and Del
aware as samples of such purity as it
prevails in the settled and proper
East.
Two mistakes have been made in
admission of Territories. One was the
letting in of Nevada and the other of
Utah. The first was an industrial
bubble and the second a false pre-
tense. Neither Arizona nor New Mex
leo belongs under either classification.
According to the census of 1900, Ari-
iona had a population of more than
10000, and New Mexico OF more than
1875, 900. The combined area of the
two amounts to 135, 800 square miles,
only exceeded by Texas. California
and Montana Either Territory alone
exceeds several of the States in popu-
| lation
| The desire to keep these two Terri
tories out, or to make them enter as
one, is due to political bias solely
The complexion of the aspiring pair is
Democratic. They could not be a Sc
Tiosss factor in national legislation
even if admitted singly. The states
men who are fighting them probably
will win, but the victory will be not
i economic, and not disinterested, but
purely political move. The welfare
and rights OF the Territorial residents
| are not being considered

TREATMENT FOR WIFE BEATERs

To the Editor of The Times:
Apropos of the wife beater problem
now being discussed by the local press.
7 take the liberty to suggest ia you the
Offering of a prize for the best solution
of this question ] think it would make
Interesting reading. All seem to agree
that something should be done. and it
is also quite generally realized that the
whipping pest would be a step back
ward for an enlightened and advanced
community
One high in authority has suggested
a much simpler remedy for much
more serious and aggravated evil, name
ly: Publicity.
Assuming a wife beaten to be found
guilty. why not give the case the widest
publicity, so that his fellowrnen may
know him?
OF course, our trials are public, but
few people attend them, and the affair
is soon forgotten. Now l would make
the culprit wear scarlet letter for
a specified time, so that every one ne
meets will know of what he has been
guilty. Let him report once every day
TO some officer in his locality, to show
that he is wearing his badge of iniquity,
and If he IS ever caught without 1t, let
then the time be extended.
IF he continues 10 disohey. let him
be tatooed or branded on the side OF
the forehead Ee can then be alioE=e ed
to brush his hair down over it. but the
public viii always know that man
who cannot show Il clear front has a
brand OF Cain to hide.
what a blessing if this could also be
applied TO thieves and murderers.
| Certainly those wearing the ''scarle'
letter would not permit themselves to
/ be seen in public any more than nee
essary, and being Stunned by their form
er companions. would be happy wheT
the time for wearing the badge OF in
fanny had expired.
! After ALL is not publicity in such mat
| tiers as good a remedy as can be devised
particularly as it would put every on'
on his guard against such offenders
and permit honest men and true Il
walk the streets with head erect.

Burning Cotton.

Burning cotton is an act of reck-
less waste. There is not more cotton
in existence than the world needs
Allowing the law of supply and de-
mand TO work unhampered, supple
mented by fair and adequate system
Of transportation, and all the cotton
raised would find market at a fair
price. Farmers in the West have been
known to burn corn, but not in a
spirit Of animosity nor to affect prices
They burned it because there was no
sale for it at figure that would pay
for fuel. To burn corn was cheaper
than to burn coal. In many instances
the coal could not be obtained.
Doubtless the cotton spectators are
to blame for the anomalous spectacle
of planters destroying crop grown
with care. The tendency to gayble in
staples is a distinct evil, because the
gamblers have no concern for real
values They seek to set a fictitious
value, high or low, according to the
tenor of their own bets Sully year
ago was King OF the cotton market
His word was law, and pretty bad Law
at that. He ran prices so high that
he closed many New England mills
and caused reduced wages in others
Then cane the reaction. Sully wa.
ruined, as he richly deserved to be
but his wreck carried down many
others, some of these wholly innocen1
of wrongdoing. They had been in
duced to put money into a deal ex
planned to them as legitimate and III
cratiye.
Now, cotton is so low that the own
ers make bonfires of it rather thar
sell to the spectators, for they know
IL the crop once got into the hands o
spectators, prices would soar agei.
and the profit ali be TO the gamblers
A demonstration that there is to-
much cotton in existence could not b

WINTER.

Soft as the plumes of sleep drifts down
The pure white silence of the snow;
The bells make merry IN the town.
Where happy faces come and go
The breeding quiet of the trees.

And keen. sweet song OF winter wren.

Is warbled when the .grosbeaks sing;
And IN the msaning pines is heard

An English View.

OCCdSlOudiIy Tue Spectator says
something that may be considered as
having weight Generally, its utter
ances concerning the United States
are about equally grabbed and illogi-
CAL Recently it has been treating of
the Monroe Doctrine. 1t is of opin-
ion that this Government should en-
body the provisions of this doctrine
in diplomatic note to the powers,
and secure the consent of Europe
1t adds that If the United States de-
sires to secure the worlds acauies-
cence to the Monroe Doctrine, it must
become a great naval power The
belief is also set forth that in any
serious war with European coali-
ton Great Britain would be found
on the side of the United States.
The doctrine under consideration is
purely American. 1t embodies SEN
timent in favor of which the people
OF this country are essentially unit
The necessity for asking the approval
OF Europe has not appeared The
very root of the matter is that the
| United States will attend to its own
business, not aggressively but decisive
| 1y This country is not consulted by
Russia as to what is a proper attitude
on any grave question. Germany
sends no appeal here for advice
| France is friendly in a patronizing
way, but asks no Yankee counsel. So
with all the rest. The Monroe Doc
trine is a definite policy. SO far as
it concerns Others, they will have
to adapt themselves to it.
| The United States is a great and
growing naval force: It is not part OF
the design to do the police work
of the world, but merely to safeguard
/ itself against a possible ebullition OF
hostility, ana to be enabled to back
any demand made in justice. There
is no fear of a coalition in Europe
purposed to harass this country. In
the first place, the different elements
there hate each other too cordially tc
gather under common standard. TIC

to aai-y and to ali of them physical
impossibllity, and none of the lot has
ships or men to throw away.
AS for the support of Great Britain

Port Arthur Fall.

No disgrace is involved in General
StoessePs surrender of Port Arthur. So
long, brilliant, and determined was his
defense that he is fully accorded all
the honors due a soldier. He is the
heroic figure of the war His con-
quering foemen praise him.
The effect of the surrender is hard
70 surmise, although there will be
paper experts ready with the whole
problem worked out II the change
causes nothing but the retirement OF
the Russians from the place, and the
elimination from activity of the bat
tered handful of men who have been
ON duty there, it is of less Importance
as a military achievement than as a
triumph of sentiment. There are still
Russians in the field and afloat, and
cities yet to be conquered, some Of
these as justly as Port Arthur en-
titled to be called impregnable.
As the world knows, the Russians
never had any right to Port Arthur
They were there as interlopers, and
that it was by consent of the powers
had no moral effect. 1t simply made
these powers in part responsible for a
condition that led to the present aw-
ful war Possession of Port arthur
was one step in the Russian advance
upon the checking of which depended
the life of Japan By force OF arms
and in fir fight the Japanese had won
Port Arthur from China. They were
ousted upon the simple pretext that
Russia deemed the port necessary to
its own purposes. The pride OF Japan
was wounded, and in all the years
since there has been yearning for
vengeance, and justice The victory
means more to the japanese than the
mere taking of a stronghold
