Presuming on Ignorance.

Answering n request for his view
OF plan to have the United States
dispose of the Philippines and
use the proceeds for developing
our national resources by reclama-
ton, irrigation, etc. w. ]. Bryan
writes to the Denver Post. saying
am not in favor OF selling the Phil
ippines 10 any country. I 90 not agree
with those who believe that people can
be rightfully bought or sold. The sale OF
the Philippines islands would be virtually
the sale OF the people The question OF
price is not to be considered In a matter
OF this kind.
This is a Characteristic Bryan an
swer No one in this enlightened age
would favor the buying or selling
Of people, and yet money indemnity
is regularly claimed and taken when
territorial possessions pass from one
country to anther without involving
the sale of the inhabitants.
When Thomas Jefferson bought
Louisiana from France for the
United States, he paid the price de-
manded, and there were people. In
the territory acquired whose wishes
we're not consulted, much less their
prior consent obtained. Would Mr..
Bryan denounce and renounce the
purchase OF Louisiana for that rea-
son?
When Alaska was bought by Pres
ident Grant from Russia, the same
thing took place so far as the IN
habitants of Alaska were concerned.
What the United States paid for was
Russia's title to the public domain
and the priceless natural resources;
which have since then turned back
many times the money considera-
ton.
When the United States acquired
the Philippines as an incident of
war. the peace treaty nevertheless
called for the payment to Spain Of
s2o,ooo.OOO, and Mr. Bryan threw
Up his commission In the army to 20
to Washington and exert his personal
influence 70 secure its ratification.
OF course. we did not buy the people
then, but we Unidentified Spain for
the public property which 1t had
possessed---lands. buildings. wharVes,
fortifications--and Mr.. Bryan saw
nothing wrong in It.
The Bee is no more IN favor Of
selling the Philippines TO some other
country now than Mr. Bryan Is. but
II We should ever adopt the policy
he advocates. by promising the
Philippines their independence, and
later recognizing It, we would still be
entitled to repayment of the money
paid to Spain. and money since ex-
pended on public works as q condi-
ton OF reliquishment OF our rights
This would not be a sale OF people
to themselves, but II would be q
sale Of our property. to which no
objection could Justly be made.
We admit that the whole question
is remote. but evidently Il IL not
remote enough to prevent Mr.. Bryan
using Il to make demaRogioal point
presuming wholly on ignorance.

President Tart makes it clear In his
speeches that he is touring the west, not
as political campaigner, but as presi-
dent of'all the people. He properly wishes
the public to become familiar with the
work Of his administration in their be-
half, and his efforts in this direction are
commendable and praiseworthy. The
president wants the people TO understand
that his conception Of government is a
government Of the people and for the
people-that this is their government and
he their personal representative.

war of 1870, NJ. Klotz. French minister

had been accomplished for the army

strength. he said, had increased from
4e6.591 in 1875 to 6sl. 4s1 In 1910 notwith-
standing the fluctuations In the birth
rate. Thanks to the elastic provisions Of
the short service system. 10000 reserve
lists, belonging to the recently discharged
contigents would be available on the first
day Of mobilization, and, together with
the sanding force would form q perfectly
trained and equipped mass OF nearly
100 men. The so-called second lines would
be constituted by a similar number Of
reservists belonging to earlier contingents
With the 10000 territorial troops,
France. therefore, could count upon
nearly 100000 combatants, 2,sOo,oOO Of
whom would be fully trained and
equipped. while the second-line troops

Land Problem In Germany.
Industrial Germany. grown great and
powerful, the pride OF the empire" has
for q background the ominous shadow OF
decreasing rural population and pro
portionate increase in large landowners.
The cause Of the steady drift from coun-
try TO cities is practically that which
provoked In Ireland an unarmsd revolu-
ton against landlordism. Tenancy is
the rule in Germany, as Il was in Ireland
until the passage Of the land reform law.
Rack-renting is common and inability
TO become owners Of the land they cult
vate deprives the farmers OF the incen-
tive OF permanency. without which cult
walton is haphazard. In these circum-
stances the lure of the industries at home
and the cheap lands of newer countries
are well nigh Irresistible. From 1856 to
1900 the plains OF eastern Prussia lost
10000 habitants. At the present time
two-thirds Of the territory eastward of
the Elbe has less population than in 1870
The number Of rural towns has decreased,
others are gradually decaying, "choked
to death" as described by the Frank
furter Zeituns, by the vast idle estates
that encircle them The gaps the Ger
mans leave In their native land, the
Zeitung explains. are partly filled up

Pen Picture of Tripoli.

The neglect which the city and harboT
OF Trlpoli has experienced at the hands
OF the festive press agent viii end, doubt
less, as soon IS Italy finishes the war
and restores order. For the present q
pen picture OF the captured city written
by John Horn for the Travel magazine
last November must appease the demand.
Along the waters edge, viewed from
the steamer" Mr.. Horn writes, lays the
most truly eastern town I had ever seen.
Before its snowy domes and spearlike
minarets Algiers. TuIs and even Con-
stantinople paled and we're as nothing.
Tripoli could not lay claim to The splen-
doris Of these others, but here was no
mixture Of east and west. no blending of
styles. II was the purity OF line and the
complete absence of European architec-
ture which made one feel that this at
least was the true Arab east. Away
along the oasis, framing the white town
with its dark green; while in the center,
bathing It's gray portions in the sparkling
water. lowered an old Spanish fort. half
in ruins, but still used as prison and
residence of the Pasha The rest was a
maze of white roofs, with there and here
a splash of red, where the cloths Of the
bath houses fluttered in the sun. On the
south the desert touches the very walls
of the town extending away in arid
grandeur over hundreds of miles Of gray
hills and valleys. Under the terrible rays
OF the midday sun II seems an inferno OF
monotony and heat, but at sunset q very
fairyland Of rose and purple takes the
place of the palpitating gray

Jap Treaty Ratified.

President Taft's proposed new
treaty with Japan was ratified by
the Senate.
While the apprension OF western
senators that the treaty might let
down the bars to coolie labor was not
entirely removed. these senator's con-
tented themselves with expressing
their solicitude. They interposed no
objection to ratification.
The action of this government in
promptly confirming the new agree
ment is expected TO do more to prove
the feeling Of cordially that this
country has for Japan than snSthing
that has been done tor many years.
1t is regarded as a manifestation OF
highest confidence in the advanced
civilization OF that nation. The effect
will be to permit Japan to enter at
once on reorganization of it's fiscal
system and the making OF new tarin
with all nations.
