"when We see.,.

"When We See."h Editor The Advertiser:
 When we see the Govertor of great State elected on well-nigh the sole is- sue of railroad "regulation":
 When we see that Governor moulding legislation judicially declared unconsti- tutional:
 When we see the Governor of great State bartering away or attempting to barter away the prerogatives of the Legislature in exchange for compliance with questionable Legislation already
 When we see a great State forget it's dignity and loyalty to the union and attempt by threats and punitive legis- lation to force a foreign citizen to yield
 When we see great State put in the unenviable position of trying to club it's fellow litigant into its own and fair enough to be tried in any court open to its fellow littgant:
 When we see the Governor of that great State in his message lead the people to believe the question of States rights is involved in foreign citizens' resorttng, under his constitutional priv ilege. to the Federal courts:
 great State call the Legislature in ex- traordinary session to enact new laws before the issues raised by the old can be decided in the courts:
 When we see a great State thus forced from error to greater error, from excitement to madness, from madness to hysteria: .'
 When we see a Governors message descend to the personal plane and soi- emnly warn the legislators that a Mir. Smith is in town and they must look out for their characters: s
 When we see a great State. already trembling in financial crisis almost worldwide. about to be deluged with another lot of half-baked legislation:
 When we see this financial crisis coolly put upon Wall Street and no mention made of the demagogue. the ust-buster, the predatory legislator and his socialistic legislation:
 When we see our people, already shifting socialism in the air. already inflamed against corporations, already highly excited over financial and pulitf- cal Administration we see the peo- pie told deliberately that the question of States rights is involved in legal contest in which 1t is not involved:
 When we see all this undue excite ment and turmoil. let patriots rise and call halt at least until the courts can tell us where we are at.

asm on the subject. and especially on the use of airships in naval warfare. If they can be made to navigate the air successfully and reliably they may be of great use in carrying messages. and even in conveying ammunition and stores in an emergency, but when it is proposed that they shah be used in the actual lighting we must ask to be excused. Fighting on land or sea is bad enough, but there are compensa- tions. An army may be defeated but it can retreat. A ship may be sunk by projectiles or torpedoes but the crew will have some chance of rescue.
 These things are common and there is some chance to provide against the worst. but with an aerial warship it would be different. One of these ships loaded with men and poised or sailing high in the air might be totally dis abled by a well aimed shot and come to the ground like a dead bird. and there would be little chance for any one to escape. This would be result to be expected if two of these ships should engage in battle, and it is re- suit which cannot be contemplated with equanimity. It is bad enough to Le in a wreck on the earth but it would be thousand times worse to be wrecked mile or two above ground. The coming down would be swift and the stoppage sudden and unpIeasantly jarring.
 And yet,-in spite of the possibilities
 --or certainties-of such a mode of warfare it appears to be surely com. ing. Airships in war may at first be used only, as messengers and carriers. but that they will come into use as fighting machtnes is hardly to be doubted. Perhaps the ghastly horrors that would attend such warfare may have strong influence towards mak- ing war more unpopular and lead final ly to it's abandonment among civilized people, and such consummation would be worth almost any initial cost. Just what success will attend Admiral ches ter's proposition is doubtful, but as Congress is generally ready to appro- priate money we suppose 1t will not balk at this demand, so we may expect the Department of Aeronautics to be organized and a suitable head appoint ed for 1t. It will never do, don't you see, to fall behind other nations.

The loeker-licker feature of the Geor. gia prohibition law is already causing some complications and inquiries as to its real scope and intention. The comptroiler-GeneraI has sent out an official opinion that the $500 tax is in no sense to be construed as a license to sell liquors In these places but is merely an occupation tax" authoriz- ing one or more persons to keep a supply of liquors on hand for the use of the members. We predict that this tax is going to add very materially to Georsia's annual income. Lockers will be considered among the necessaries of existence in Georgia.

Reforming the Indian.

Indianapolis Star.
 The secret of the Ute outbreak is re- vealed by Captain Johnson's report. The Indian agent had put the Utes on half rations because they failed to work as he directed. Captain John son says the Utes are hungry-that their women and children are suffer- ing. When the Utes became indignant the agent sent for the soldiers. 1t is the old story over again, and the sur prfsing thing is that Commissioner Leupp supports the agent with the statement; We believe fin providing them to go hungry if they will not ac- cept the opportunity to make a living"
 That sounds yell but what about had possession of most of western Coli orado and Utah. Our miners and pros pectors wanted their lands Their agent; MT: Meeker. very excellent with this same idea, that the important point in the Indian problem was to make the Indian work. He got into a lndians thought the troops were com ing to make them work, and the re- sult was the White River massacre ate damage was not great but it drove at least 100000 white people away from their work in the mountains, lost more labor than the whole Ute nation could perform in ten years and cost thous- ands of dollars.
 When we forced treaty with them, tons agreed to P give 'nim them on food sn not word in the treaty about their working. The Indian men had never worked. They had been taught not to work. and no adult Indian ever gets over that teaching, The only possible way to change Indian ideas is to edE- cate the children.

As Captain Johnson says, "One hundred pounds of flour and a in the solution of this problem than 100 soldiers" There has not been an Indian war in the last fifty years that would cost to meet the reasonable dee mands of the Indians. Captain John son says now that If these people are tain life through the winter, and they be allowed to send their children to day school, they will be just as am en- able to control as as the sioux" And we Why not try honesty instead of the bu- reau's theories of ctyilizatiOh2

CONTROL or R4ILWlYS.
Merican Minister Tells Of Talk 7cih
President ROOspTPH.

Mexico City. July 1.-THE Minister of Finance,
Jose Yves Limantour in an interview to-day
discussed the report that President Roosevelt
had under consideration the proposal that the
railroad question IN the United States be solved
by the adoption Of the Mexican plan.
Minister Limantour said that some months
ago, while he in Washington, both Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root consulted
him regarding the method by which the Re
public Of Mexico had gained control Of its great
trunk lines without in any way causing the
railroad companies or officials 10 surrender any
OF their rights.
The cardinal principle OF the Mexican plan,
you term it," said the minister lis the
absolute divorcing of railway control from poll
tics
The federal power mostly exerts controlling
Influence over the great trunk lines Of the coun-
try by the purchase OF a majority Of stock Of
the principal lines Of the republic. Details are
left the directorate and the executive officers
Mexico does not want TO control the railroads
within her domain The scope Of the plan Of the
control only entertains the proposition that the
government exercise a dominating Influence
and be in n position TO dictate when an attempt
to bring about an unjust condition as to rates
makes itself apparent. We believe that Thu
sort Of control VIII be success.
