INSECT PESTS MUST BE COPIED
WITH.

Editor Advertiser: Please note that
if the Islands are allowed to remain
infested with insects, only those few
industries can flourish that are not af-
feeted by the pests.
The less possible it is for small in
dustries, the more accessible the land
becomes for the one industry of sugar.
This industry, while not evil in itself,
has, by virtue of insect difficulties af-
fecting only other crops, resulted in a
monopoly that can not be assaulted SO
long as the barriers remain.
To be sure, they afford men the OPP
portunity of employment, meaning
board and clothes, while in the prime
of life. We need more for men than
this kind of employment affords. No
arrangement of rewards for toll in life
win build up a nation that does not
provide for youth and old age and the
possibility of that essential foundation
for greatness-the American home.
If the young industries are not
strangled by monopoly's intricate
string, or suffoeated by plague of
insects, then, and only then, can the
home builder lay his foundation and
hope to succeed.
The present system of unfairness is
one that makes the rich richer and the
poor poorer, degrades labor and lowers
the standard of intelligence of the
people.
/ gladly acknowledge the kindness,
intelligence and many admirable traits
in the character of the sugar men. L
like the men, but not the system.
Justice and fair opportunity to all
should be our slogan.

OF Standard Oil in Ohio, recently pub
lished by MIR. Foraker, may set forth
pretty nearly the extent and the char
acter OF the relations between the
senator and the trust as attorney and
client. But this correspondence does
not justify that kind of employment
by servant of the people, no matter
how conventional it may have been
few years ago. Nor does it touch
upon the more vital points in the
Foraker letters published by Hearst.
However, it did not need the Hearst
letters to convince the country and
Ohio that Senator Foraker should not
be returned to his seat. His course
in the last two sessions of congress
was almost wholly opposed to the
policies urged by the president and
approved by the people. He was one
of the biggest of stumbling blocks in
the way of progressive legislation.
He identified himself with the side of
the special interests rather than with
the side of the people. He has been
one of the frankest and most agrees
sive reactionaries. He made a might
Ter effort than any other one man to
encompass the defeat of Mr.. Taft for
the presidential nomination, not so
much because of any fabulous hope
of securing the nomination himself
as because Mr.. Taft stood for con-
tinuation of the Roosevelt policies,
which Mr.. Foraker had opposed.
If Mr.. Foraker has been sincere, as
he protests he has been, then the
mildest construction that could be nut
on his case is that the employment
he accepted from the most abusive,
most powerful and most law-defyins
trust of the country has prejudiced
him against the legitimate claims of
the public in relation to corporations
generally. And if this be true, then
the argument that public servant
should not become an attorney for
great corporation holding charters or
franchises of great value from the
people is made conclusive in the case
of Foraker.

Elizabeth Goodall's Double

1t was only recently in England
that dead man was infinitely iden-

relatives, only to be resurrected a
few days afterwards in the person
OF another, who proved unquestiona-

THE NEW CHINA.

few years ago the death of a
Chinese emperor would have been of
no concern to the United States. To-
day conditions have so changed that
the policy of China is of real impor-
lance to the rest of the world.
The combined import and export
trade of the United States and China
in 1897 was thirty-two million dol
lars. Ten years later it was fifty
nine millions. Already business men
are looking forward to a great de-
velopment of the Oriental market so
that the Chinese empire. with it's four
hundred million inhabitants, shall be-
come one of the important customers
of the United States.
All other considerations aside, It is
of great moment, for commercial rea-
sons alone, that the new process of
undermining China shall be maintain
ed under the new regime. A begin
ming had been made under the rule
of that strange, but talented woman
whose death has been announced. AL
ready the ancient classical examina-
tons for political office have given
way to a modern system in which
knowledge of current problems was
requisite. Already a decree has pre-
pared the way for parliamentary gov
eminent.
These changes, it is inferred, are
approved by the new regent who is
understood to be committed to prog
ress. II is impossible to make over
a nation in a day or a generation. But
it may be hoped that under Prince
Chun the empire will continue that
revitalizing progress which eventual
ly will make it a real part of the
modern world.
