VIKING.

!! ! ltE
More fancy than fact may be CLEAN
ed from the Vikings at present. To
be sure the fault may lie with the
cleaner to some extent, considering
that he is in the same predicament
with the others, viz: being kept at
home making hay while the sun
shines Z Occasionally there may be
incidents and accidents which would
all but surprise the possessor of the
knowledge Of them. We could, and
probably with success, for want of
other news to be had, describe some
tumble from a load Of hay; or an up
set, downset or somerset of whatever
kind, whether intentional or other
wise; allof which, if they have not
yet happened, are almost sure to be-
come facts in the near future, at the
rate in which the Viking thriftiness is
now being pushed. Still, as we prom
ised the editor to "jot locals,'' we
might not be justified in anticipating
events, at least not without saying
that they are expected to occur sub
sequently. But as there is hardly
time to read antedated news at this
time of the year, we shall cease to dis
cuss the subject.
At the annual school meeting held
in district No. 81, Mr.. T. T. Loge

day. They report very bad roads
caused by the heavy rains. r.

A year ago there were several quar-
ter sections of free government lands
left in this town. Now, if we are
rightly informed, it is said to be just
so acres left. Only a few days since,
David Gustafson, youthful Viking,
fled on quarter in section 13. This
/ shows the tendency of our people to
continue to engage in agricultural
pursuits, and the assertion that the
best of our young country people are
going to the cities, will hold to be for
the greater part erroneous. BOB b.

Now that hat-pins are selling for
81 600 downward. the minds of inventive
geniuses are turning toward a pin that
will stay in the hat, past all danger of
falling out. Recently there was pat
ented a split pin that was provided with
a little spring which worked by pres
sure.
A very nice hat-pin. with head Of
amber, had an amber fastener accom-
panying it and fastened by gold chain.
The fastener was stuck in the hat, so
that to lose the hat-pin you must lose
the hat also.

FOR HOLDING \ hAi-PlN
A very ultra little piece of jewelry
is a band of pearls connected with the
hat-pin by gold chain. The pearl
band is used as a brooch or as a pin
upon the breast. The gold chain bangles
from the hat-pin and makes a pretty
bit of fnery for the woman who likes
"fxings." The band may match the
bat-pin and be Of any jewels or plain
gold.
ANY device is good so long as it holds
the pin: and when you reflect that every
wear there are hundreds of dollars lost
in bat-pins. the economy of a little
fastener is easily computed.

form on which Mr.. Mckinley was
elected, "having lost control of Cuba,
and being unable to protect the lives
Of resident American citizens, or TO
comply with It's treaty obligations,
we believe that the government Of
the United States should actively use
its influence and good Offices tn restore
peace and give independence to the
island"
Again the st. Louis platform says:
"We watch with deep ana abiding in-
terest the heroic battles Of the Cuban
patriots against cruelty and oppres-
sion, and our best hopes go out for the
full success OF their determined con-
test for liberty"
Not only is the administration do
ing nothing to ''give independ to
Cuba" but it has gone further, and
has diplomatic understanding with
Spain that it will keep its hands off
and give the new captain general ain
pie opportunity to put back the
shacHles upon the Cuban patricia.
This is another example Of this
growing tendency to gain power by
promising principles with no intent
to carry out the promise.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1896-1899, 1897-12-09

While In our own nina we are in
clined to think there are substantial
reasons why our country should own
Hawaii and Cuba and build and oper-
ate the Nicaragua canal, we find. the
following pertinent questions asked
ln the Springfield Republican,:
The people would like to know
If it is not true that only very
small minority of the inhabitants of
the islands desire annexation.
If 1t is not an outrage on American
ideas TO impose a government upon
a people without the consent of the
governed.
If the present government OF
Hawaii be not an oligarchy based on
property, and If such government,
continuing under American auspices,
would not be antagonistic to Demo-
cratic principles.
If it is not true that Chinese and
japanese coolie labor, for climatic
reasons must continue 20 be en-
ployed to do the bulk of the work of
production on the islands.
If 1t is not true that the islands, on
account of climate and present occu-
patton offer no attractions to the
masses Of the American people to
emigrate there and take up land as
small farmers; but that, on the con-
trary American labor will be injured
by being brought into further COM
petition with the coolie labor of the
islands.
If the competition Of coolie labor
will not injure American beet sugar
interests.
If Hawaii is to be made state, and
our presidential elections decided by
the returns (behind which we could
not go) from the Portuguese, China,
japanese and Kanaka wards of Homo
lulu.
IL Hawaii can be kept from state
hood any length Of time with our
political parties forever and bitterly
competing for the control of the
United States senate.
III immense sums of money will not
be needed for Notifications and a
larger navy because Of this extension
of our coast line 2cO0 miles into the
heart of the Pacific.
These are fair questions, asked with
perfect sincerity. 1t would be pleas
ant to have the senate discuss the
treaty In open session, so that answers
might be made to them, but it is
doubtful If answers will ever be made,
