GUYING DANES AT A BARGAIN
The Inhibltanta of the Danish West In
dlt have protested against the Islands be-
Ing sold to the Vnitcd States They have
demanded that before final action be taken
the question be sabmlttrd to n popular
vote tn the Wands that the people may
choose their own destiny
It was known when negotiations were
began for the purchase of the Islands hy
the United States that the Inhabitants
ere unwilling When representations of
the trn state of the ease were made to
the king of Denmatk Instead of roloping
the bold course of refusing to allow the
people to determine their future by hnlot
en the generous and Just course of granting
their request he wade replv that he would
take the matter under consideration Then
his wily Danish majesty proceeded to push
the negotiations for the sale to the United
States to a roncltislnp as rapidly as possible
In order that he shonld ba able as
speedily as wight h to add the 5000
< V > purchase price to the meager treasure
In the royal coffers And now the Inbnbl
tants of th Danish Islands have pro-
tested
The protest Is slcnlncant of two things
first that we hare grown Imperialistic to
s rh a degne that we proceed to the rn
negation of territory without taktug the
pslns to ascertain whether the Inhabitant
sre willing or not and second that th
Inhabitants of neighboring Ulands prefer
to remain under the rule ot a monarchy
than to come lander our republican form
f government
What disinterested observer can wonder
st any little people particularly Islanders
fearing our peopledevouring republic We
freed Cuba from Spain tint Is Cuba free
Did not the United Plates simply take
Spains placet Iorto Itlco under Spanish
rill had representation In the eorles nnder
onr rale not enly Is there no represen-
tation In congress but as American coin
nl ts tb Iorto means have less trade
rights and cnmmerrlal privileges than thVy
enjoyed as Spanish subjects Then In tho
Phlllpplna Islands has not our 111 treat-
ment of tho natives been sufficiently bad
to Justify the coinage of a new word
so that whan wo wish to apeak of the most
outrageous oppression which ono man com
rnlts upon another we will aay he flit
pined hint

Carding early rreneh settlements In the
United States
A Leaving out all of the vast territory
west of the Mississippi acquired from
Trance the French had much to do with
settling the country east of the great river
The Pren < h held and settled the whole of
Canada from the takes to the Atlantic nnd
they planted their settlements far down
lnt6 the rtrltlsh colonies which anbsetinently
became the l lilted State In 1T0I Antolno
niHllac who had been governor of Louis
iana under Crojint founded what 1 now
the city of Detroit at the Straits o Huron
In what Is now Michigan At an enrlv day
the Italian villages of Onhnkla and Kan

Alnlmmn ware Imnmtant fdctnM In the

Ktenchraen of the Sixteenth and Seven-

them In all the qunlltlns that went to mnkti
explorers conquerois and colonisers In the
most dlstMHt and savage regions Tnat they
lost tbelr proud mprntnaey In the new
world seems mote the result of fate than
of any fault of their own They were
