THE KONAWA CHIEF, KONAWA, SEMINOLE NATION, IND. TER., MAY 26, 1905.
News and Comment
As Keeper of the peace of Eu-
rope King Edward has no sine-
cure.
If Rojestvensky finds many
more neutral waters his voyage
will rival that of Columbus as a
voyage of discovery.
They might at least placard
the cars which contain dynamite
so that the train crew may
know that it is necessary to take
extra precautions.
If New York really prohibits
woman and girls from betting on
the races it will prove hard on
those show girls who are fre-
quently credited with such large
winnings.
Cannot Deacon Rockefeller in-
duce those wicked Standard Oil
directors whom Dr. Gallden says
have been "playing with loaded
dice and stacked cards" to at-
tend young John's bible class?
We supposed that "marrying
the family" was only a figure of
speech, but we note that a Pitts-
burg girl has brought suit for
breech of promise against a man,
his father, mother, and three
sisters.
Count Cassini may leave the
United States with the convic-
tion that his diplomatic efforts to
popularlise his country in the
IJnited States was at least more
successful than Dr. Burchard's
efforts to elect Mr. Blaine.
The Igorrotes will indulge in
dog feasts for the benefit of the
Coney Island public, this sum-
mer. Between the example of
the Igorrotes and the machina-
tions of the beef Trust we may
be converted to a canine diet
yet.
The reports from Ohio indicate
that the Republican party in that
state is preparing to rebuke the
President for his tariff readjust-
ment policy by coming out with
flatfooted stand-pat plank in its
State platform, soon to be draft-
ed.
President Roosevelt got his
hand in by killing bears in the
Rockies. Then he braved the
Indians in the Iroquois club and
conquered them and now he has
laid down the law of rate legisla-
tion to the railway men. What
will he not do to the stand-pat-
ters?
Booker Washington says there
were only 13 lynchings in the
south in the last six months as
against an average of 103 for
each six months of 1895. Evi-
dently the southern negro is
learning that it is unsafe to
treat white women with disre-
spect.
Count Cassini may have been
a clever diplomatist but he was
never able to pursuade the Amer-
ican people that the Japs were
wholly in the wrong or that the
shooting of women and children
in Petersburg, Kishenoff or War-
saw were manifestations of brav-
ery on the part of the Russian
army.
Russia has been for a long
time pursueing exasperating tac-
tics on the northern boundaries
of India, despite the roar of the
British lion. Now that Russia is
somewhat preoccupied with af-
fairs in Manchuria it would sur-
prise no one if the lion did a lit-
tle marauding on his own ac-
count, along Russian boundaries
north of India.
It is to be hoped, for the repu-
tation of the United States as
well as for that of the adminis-
tration, that the Bowen-Loomis
affair will be sifted to the bottom.
It is also to be hoped, not with
any ill will to Minister Bowen,
but for the reputation of the
country, that his charges against
Secretary Loomis will prove un-
founded. In any event the coun-
try will never be satisfied with
anything but a thorough and
open investigation of all the facts
and unless both men can be com-
pletely cleared of the imputations
which stand against them the
President should dispense with
their services altogether.
The decision of the Secretary
of War to buy the materials and
machinery with which to con-
struct the Panama Canal where
he can buy them the cheapest
will command the respect of
every unselfish American. Even
the protectionist can hardly ob-
ject. The decision in no way af-
fects the American market
which it is the aim of protection-
ists to preserve intact for the
American manufacturer and pro-
ducer, in so far as it can be done.
The construction of the canal is
a unique enterprise, largely pa-
triotic but it is also for the bene-
fit of all nations, and of future
generations. On the same prin-
ciple as philanthropic and relig-
ious insitutions are exempted
from taxation in this country, so
the Canal should be exempted
from the burden of the tariff tax
which, it is already demonstrat-
ed would increase the cost by
considerably more than 50 per
cent. Of course, there will be
tremendous pressure of Congress
to extend the protective system
to the materials and machinery
for the canal but it is to be hop-
ed that in this instance the mem-
bers of Congress will show some
evidence of broad minded patriot-
ism. It is generally understood,
although not officially determined
that the eight hour law will ap-
ply to the work on the canal and
that of itself will materially in-
crease the cost of the enterprise.
