“The Most Mated Nation’
(Boston Daily Advertiser.)
Joseph H. Choate says that the Un
ited States is one of the “richest and
mosi: hatedoiation” in the world to
day. Americans have been so accus
tomed, in their treaties, to being class
ed with the “most favored nations,”
that it may come to some optimists
with a jolt that a man like Joe Choate
does not say these things without facts
to back him up. Unfortunately we
are about the worst-hated nation in
the world today, and partly because
wo are the riches'. Our position in
the earth’s cosmos just now is very
much like that of the village squire,
who can be found in almost every

i by loaning money to those who have
I met with some sort of disaster. What
we are doing is perfectly legal, and
a refusal on our part to assist might
even be a crushing catastrophe to the ;
unfortunates who apply for ?id; but

we drive just as shrewd bargains as
we can. And the richer we grow the

Mr. Parker says that in the so-called
swamp lar;f? of Beaufort and other
counties of that section great changes
are being made by the colonists," at
tracted to the section by its “immense
possibilities.” Veritable mansions are
springi"g up miles av/ay from the town
on land reclaimed from swamps. Be
cause of the comparative isolation of
some of the redeemed plantations lit-]
tie has been heard of them. There are |
several houses recently built within a
few miles of Belhaven that would do

a few moiiths after operations have
l-,een conunenced to put the reclaimed
land in cultivation, and it will produce
as abundantly as any ifi the \vorll such
stutr as can be grown in the climate.
Tbousai\ds more are to come to east
ern Carolina in the next few years,
and the section, now progressing at a
remirkable rate, will become the
finest part of the United States. Mr.
Parker, who built the Plymouth-Wash

Railroad and the hne of the same com

An Alien Idea of Morals
Claiming to speak for 12,000 Ameri
can citizens, the United German Soci
eties in a memorial to Congress refer
in munitions of war as “the most ne
fari3us, immorals and despicable occu
pation in which a human being can en
gage.” The business thus denounced
is recognized everywhere as lawful
and it has always been carried on ex
tensively by Germans themselves.
While we are on the subject of im
moral occupations, how would it do for
the American citizens w’hose alien
sympathies believe their naturalization
papers to cosider some other phases of
human activities? The attempted as
sassination of bankers, the purchase
of labor strikes, the blowing up of
railroad bridges, the bribery of new'S-
i papers, the dynamiting of factories,
I the theft of supplies, the intimidation
' of public officials and the planting of
I incendiary bombs in steamships are all
I practised here to rhe glory of Ger
