MOUNTAIN CONGRESS- SUGGESTED,

The suggestion Of Mr.. e. b. Field,
Jr., Of Denver, for the organization Oh
the Rocky Mountain States into con-
ference or congress for the purpose OF
making a united demand for those
things which are essential to the de-
velopment and progress OF this great
region, has much merit. 1t is probably
not the intention Of Mr., tleld TO
transeress especially upon the functions
of the Transmssssippi Congress; but
the fact is that the Transmississlppi
Congress covers so wide n region, or
such diversified interests, and mas so
little specific or definite function to
perform, that it loses itself in the I'M
mensity of the area that il undertakes
to cover. and in the wide diversity
of the manifold interests of that re
gion.
An association or congress such as
Mr. Field now proposes wonld be CON
fined more directly 10 the Rocky Noun
tain States II would leave out the
west coast regions, and the regions OF
the eastern plains west of the great
river. The mountain country has so
much similarity OF conditions, its In
terests are so concentrated, and its well
fare 30 much unit, that such con-
gress as is now proposed could work
to definite aims and specific purposes
The idea Of Mr.. Field has evidently
been pretty well digested in his mind
and the underlying plans as set forth
by him in Tho Tribune yesterday
morning are both practical and feast
bic. We hope that Mr.. Field may ne
able TO organize such an association
as he proposes. for there is evidently
an ample field for it, and great work
for it to do.

APPEAL OF A PRINCESS

There has often been discussion on
the question Of the passage Of n Con.
stitutional amendment giving Congress
the power to legislate in tho matter of
marriage and divorce. Most commonly
this power has been urged by reason Of
the polygamic relations in this imme-
diate region, and for the extirpation of
polygamy by making it National of
fense and transferring the jurisdiction
Of such cases 20 the Federal courts. We.
however, in discussing this question
have always presented this as only one
Of the reasons why Congress should be
given such jurisdiction. Invariably we
have urged in discussing this question
that the International marriages that
have become so frequent often raise
questions that arc unsolvable under
present conditions. Questions Of the
legality Of such marriages, of tho status
Of heirs, and Of tho distribution of
estates, quito commonly arise, but so far
as this country is concerned, we are mt
disadvantage as compared with other
countries, since our National Govern
ment has no function In relation to any
Of these matters, while the several
States of the Union, which have iuris-
diction, have no international functions
And so the rights of Americans must
fall by the wayside merely for want of
competent jurisdiction.
A cnse illustrating the point has Just
come under public discussion. An
American girl two years ago marrieds
cousin of the Khedive of Egypt, and
few mouths after the marriage he de-
serted her. She is now reported TO have
appealed to Secretary Bryan for diplo-
matte assistance from this government
in compelling the Prince to provide for
her out Of his estates, which are repre-

NO MORE DOLLAR DIPLOMACY, >

It is announced from Washington
that Secretary Bryan is clearing the
slate Of all tant Of f'dollar diplo-
macy especially MS applied to the
South American states and to the
Central American states. He has re-.
called the special arbitrator appointed
by President Taft to settle the dispute
between the government of Ecuador
and the Guayaquil and Quito Railwa,
Company, an American corporation,
leaving that matter to be settled in
Ecuador, He will also withdraw all
support by the American Government
for the promotion Of loans or for pri-
vate enterprises, He will recognize to
the full the complete independence Of
all the Central and South American
states, and wilh withdraw everything
that may be considered to be in any
way an interference with or An over
sight of their affairs
All that sounds very well and
doubtless is we'll meant, but we fear
that the result may be disastrous to
American interests; for the South
American states are much inclined to
take the European view, that diplo.
macy is properly used in our times for
the purpose of extending trade and
commerce, for the making of loans, the
securing of concessions and invest
ments, and in general that diplomacy
is so interviewer with commercial en-
terprises that it is practically impos-
sible to segregate the two; and that
tho country that does undertake to
segregate the two is thereby likely to
lose both
Accordingly, when the Central and
South American states find that the
American Government will not have
anything to do with loans, concessions,
or commercial enterprises, the Amer.
lean financial and commercial men are
likely to be put at a disadvantage as
compared with the financial and com
mercial men of Europe, and the South
and Central American countries that
have been accustomed in their dealings
with the other powers OF the world
TO consider commerce, finance. and
diplomacy as practically united, will
look more and more to Europe not only
for their diplomacy and their politics
but also for the extension of their COM
merce and trade.
It sounds very fine. very altruistic,
and very philosophical to say that we
wall get up on high plane and Will
have nothing to do in our diplomacy
with the meanness and dirt OF mere
trade and finance. But the danger is
that when we climb so high then our
neighbors 10 the south will not be able
to reach us, they will strike hands with
those nations Of Europe that are on
common plane with themselves in con.
sidering that modern international in.

CALIFORNIA; PERSISTENCE.

California appears determined to per
sist in her passage Of the land law
which is designed to prevent japanese
from owning or controlling real estate
in California. At the same time. the

appear 10 he showing sound sense and

President Wilson. instead of making a

The California law as drafted is
impartially. No other nation than ia
pan has made any complaint about it,
although our treaties with other ma.
tions are practically the same as with
complaints are inconsistent, since the
japanese government does not allow Of
any landholding by aliens in Japan,
there is no Just foundation for the re-
monstranees that Japan is making
against the proposed California law
declaring that aliens shall not hold
lands in California; for such a law as
that in California would place the
Japanese on precisely the same footing
in that State with respect to laud-hold~
ing that Californiaus are placed in ia

But lest IL be said that this is a
mere evasion or trick. let il always be

is that Japan does not allow Califor.
