II Is NOT TOO LATE.

1t is hoped and expected that the
present Republican administration will
repair the blunders made by Cleveland
In his dealings with Hawaii. What
Cleveland did was from no conviction of
right. He simply set out to Overturn
the work of General Harrison and the
action of a Republican congress. His
efforts to restore the disreputable queen
and TO break down the provisional Re
publican government were endorsed by
40 one, not even by his own party.
Article 30 of the constitution of Ha-
waii contains this clause: 1.-The presi-
Gent, with the approval of the cabinet,
Is hereby expressly authorized and en-
powered TO make a treaty of political
or commercial union between the re-
public of Hawaii and the United States
Sf America, subject to the ratification
of the senate" Here is the initiative.

land, to the exclusion of all other ma

prize so freely offered, a Pacific hold
ing of so inestimable stragetic value.
or procrastinate until our welcome
grows cold, and Hawaii turns toward
more appreciatiye hearers?

BETTER FIGHT 1T OUT.

The time of the United States senate,
and the attention of the country, is
largely being taken up with the proFis-
ions of an arbitration treaty proposed
between England and the United States
which looks 10 the dong away with
war. If such treaty even tended to do
away with war, who can say, or prove,
that il would be blessing? Peace
has always meant accumulation and in
the end stagnation. In times of long
continued peace evils grow and -four
fish such as only war can wipe out.
Morals decline in peace: the greater
virtues flourish ia war. The greatness
Of cations have been Of war, not Of
-eace. Heroes come of war, not of
peaceful times. the heroes Of peace
are degenerate statesmen. Political cor
ruptions and dishonesty come of peace
ful intrigue. The great leaders of the
worlds history have been warriors. But
for war America would not now boast
Washington, Lincoln or Grant.
That "Peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war; is a very taking
saying. but of doubtful truthfulness.
Even the sciences and inventions are
stimulated by war. The victories OF
peace are too often eneryating, if not
debasing. The kings of money counsel
together in times of peace and form
combines and trusts and corners to OPP
pose and enslave the people. Wrongs
not only flourish but become bold and
defiant in times of peace. But for war
slavery would still be an American in
siitutiOn. The only hope of the grinding
slavery of poverty under which the
masses Of Europe groan today, is war.
Combined capital has the lab0rer of
Europe by the throat, has him down
and hopeiessly bound in industrial
chains. Peace means luxury for the
few, but degeneration for the many.
The methods Of peace are not equal TO
the wrongs which it evolves and fosters.
Bright peace has ever its dull. sOmber
side. The black cloud of war finally
bursts with blessings. If the cause of
Crete is finally patched up by arbitra-
ton or other peaceful methods. there re-
mains no present hope for Crete.
If a treaty of peace should
terminate the present struggle in
Cuba, the people of that island
would remain enslayed. Gods chosen
people became nation and a great peo-
pie only by waging innumerable wars.
When they ceased to fight they ceased
TO be. Had Solomon and his successors
expended their wealth and revenues in
wars instead of in palaces and tenn
pies the Hebrew race would have DOM
mated Asia, Africa and eastern Europe
by the time of Christ's appearance. War
is heroic, peace craven.
This one-sided talk for war may,
doubtless does, embrace indefensible
propositions Still. an honorable war for
principle or for the right, is preferable
to supine peace; and any arbitration
scheme which contravenes the right TO
whip England when the opportunity
presents itself will prove wrong TO
millions of British subjects themselves, |
to say nothing of the disadvantage |
which this country would be left to Ia
Dor under.

women, cleaner politics, better school
administration. an increase of temper
ance and social purity and better nomin-
atoms. She asked for proof of these
from the women of Wyoming, and they
frankly told her that in none Of these
respects was the state any better of
than before I'm Colorado" she says.
"women's wages are just as they are
everywhere else; municipal affairs are
quite as badly managed, the school
elections are corrupt, and no women
are at present on the Denver school
board; the laws concerning social puri-
Nv. the rights of married women, local
option. ETC.. are not yet abreast Of some
of the eastern states, and the purifica-
ton of politics is still an iridescent
dream" In one respect the situation is
improved; there is order at the polls
and a better choice of polling places.
Drunkenness on election day is almost
unknown and a woman feels no more
sense of publicity in going to the polls
than III going to the church or to the
postofice Nevertheless, the writer OF
the article in The Outlook remains I'M
convinced. Colorado" she says, 'does
does not seem to have proved the case
for equal suffrage as yet.'
One pretty fact remains to be noticed,
and that is that the experience of Colo
RADIO proves that wives are still inclined
20 cling to their husbands. One Of the
ablest and most indefatigable of the
woman politicians explained the lack
of reform in her state in these words:
"Women will not combine with women,
nor vote for women, to any great extent.
They vote with men and for men, and
Just about like men," This is an amia-
BILE quality in the Colorado woman, and
it is suspected that her sisters in other
states and territories share it.

Attempted Robbery

Last night about o'clock an at.
tempt was made beyond a doubt to
burgalrlze the New York Racket store.
A young man passed two strangers
on Chemeketa street at the rear
of the store about that time, and a
few moments later heard pane of
glass break after which he saw the
pair run down the alley. Shortly
after Chas. Atwood who sleeps in the
store, came in and discovered the glass
in the back door broken out, and re-
ported the same to Mr.. Barnes, the
proprietor, forthwith. This morning
a pane Of glass was also found to be
broken out of the south window, and
it looks as though the intending
thieves had been frightened from
their undertakings by the breaking
glass. The case was reported to Chief
Dilley. and a close watch since been
kept. Several suspicious looking char
acters have been seen in town for
some days, and it is believed this is
the work of their class.

John Gamble as Policeman in the
City.

John Gamble as Policeman in the
| City.
ITO the Mayor and Common Council
of the City of Salem, OregOn:-
1--WE the undersigned citizens and
property owners within the city limits
of the city of Salem, respectfully re-
tition your honorable body, and ask
that Mr.. John Gamble be reinstated
upon the police force of this city.
''In doing so permit us to say that
Mr.. John Gamble, during the two
years and eight months that he has
served as policeman has contributed
toward maintaining good order, with
out running our city government into
unnecessary expense, by making un-
called for arrests. He has made ar
rests when necessary and, in the case
of hobos, he has under the direction of
a majority of the council and many of
the taxpayers of the city succeeded in
persuadinghundreds of hobos to depart
from our city and by so doing furn-
ishing us with good government with
out piling up expenses against the
taxpayers by arresting such hobos and
filling up our jails with them, as has
been too much the custom In the
past.
1--WE further add that we do not be-
lieve in the doctrine of dismissing any
man from office before the expiration
of the term for which elected, until he
has been duly proven guilty of neglect
of duty, or conduct rendering his dis
miSSal necessary"
