The San Domingo Treaty..

We see II stated that the San Domingo
tready as endorsed, or recommended, by
President Roosevelt must. have the vote OF a
few Democratic Senators TO secure its ratih-
cation by the Senate. 1t seems that all the
Republicans are for 1t, and that already a
system bullying or bodgeripg Democrats to
vote right has. already begun.
It 10 fair TO assume that q division OF senti-
ment might be honestly entertained by those
who are brave enough to express their own
Judgment.
Any parrot may say me too, and claim
credit for party allegiance, even II lack o.
manhood force them TO be patriotic. How all
Republicans can vote one way, and all Dem.
ocrats vote the other has not been explained
except on the theory that there are = whole
lot OF men who lave no opinion OF their
own.
We respect the manly man, whether be
agrees with us or not. And we respect Dem.
ocrats and Republicans who have opinions,
but for ninpyhammers who can do nothing
but vote with 1.-THE party" we withhold e1-
preston Of opinion, for the reason that we do
not wish to be disagreeable.
We believe IL Is q fact that there has been
opposition to every progressive movement
by this government. notably in the case OF
the Louisiana purchase, which included. q
stretch OF country that was inhabited by law
less bands. But these ugly creatures have
disappeared.
We feel no great interest in the San Domin-
20 matter, but II We had a vote. we should
vote for 1t. II a Senator should vote for or
against II because OF honest convictions the
country should respect him. II be votes like
a parrot, with his party" that is his right
and is the easiest way for him to reach a
boom proof. without asserting manhood or
assuming responsibility.
1t all depends Upon whether cowardice or
manhood governs the Senator.

Winthr0p's Holidays.

The House OF Representatives has passed
a Bill which grants a suspension OF exercises
in Winthrop College during the Christmas
holidays. This on petition OF numerous
students or their parents.
The suspension is an act Of gross injustice

parents are unablet 10 stand the needless ex'
pense OF having their daughters come home
in the middle OF a session. 1t may be right
and proper to grant leave I absence to such
girls as are able 70 stand the expense and are
willing TO forfeit a week OF tuition. but to
force the struggling poor to any such expense
and deprivation because the rich want a
frolic is little short Of IN outrage on COM
mon sense and common honesty. It Ia g
matter OF pleasure for Us to note that Senator
Tillman has correct views on this subject.
1t lie now with the Senate to say whether
this gross Injustice shall be authorized by
law.

Record.
The vista of years which stretches
back ward into the dim distance of the
sixteenth century presents an impos-
ing avenue of events and deeds. MO-
mentous occurrences loom up as era
makers in the country's progress, some
of which are spectacularly brilliant,
and yet there la perhaps no. event OF all
