COMMAND OF THE PACIFIC.

The war department is re-
ported to have said that San
Francisco is fully protected bv
the great guns now in place. Perhaps
it is-at the front door. But there are
several side doors to the city which are
not even bolted. If San Francisco is
ever visited by hostile forces from over
the sea, they would probably copy the
tactics that sufIiced 10 turn the for
tresses of Valparaiso. Port Arthur and
Wei-hai-wei. That is to say, taey
would land at Halfmoon bay under
cover of their naval broadsides, and
march upon the city from one side. AS
Stunning TO protect San Francisco, there
fore, by merely defending the Golden
Gate is to wager the town that an
enemy would not know his business"
says the San Francisco Chronicle
There is no need to worry about the
defense of San Francisco or any other
Pacific coast city. So soon as Hawaii is
annexed all our Pacific cities and states
Will be fully protected. Are the people
not told that the government that owns
Hawaii will command" the Pacific?
This being so, just so soon as Uncle
Sam annexes Hawaii he will com
mand' the Pacific and all danger will
be removed

GERMAN IN MILWAUKEE,
SCHOOLS.

Every once in awhile the question of
the study of German in the public
schools comes up in Milwaukee and
forms the great issue in politics there
1t has just come up again, that which
brought it up being the existence of a
deficit in the school funds and how
best to meet it. The suggestion was
made that the appropriation for de-
fraying the expenses for teaching Ger
man be cut Off This immediately
stirred up the German element. and the
question of emitting German hae, to be
dropped. Cards were sent to the par
ents of all children in the public schools
requesting them to signify whether
they desired their children to take the
study Of German or not. The returns
show that three to one of the parents
desired that their children should study
German. In the face of such a vote
for such it practically was) the con-
tinuance Of the study of German is
eminently proper.
II this desire of the Milwaukeeans
to have their children study German is
because of the value to them of its
study and the great field of literature
and science it opens to them, it is most
commendable. On the other hand. if
the chief purpose is to perpetuate Ger
man ideas and the feeling that the
fatherland is still the land Of all 9TH
ers, it is not to be commended. What
ever tends to perpetuate the national
traits and traditions OF our foreign
born citizens - as to prevent their
complete characterization and assim-
ilation into the body polite IS TO be
deprecated and discouraged. In the

FAIR INEz.

o, saw we not fair Inez?
She got upon bike.
And folks that saw her start declare
They ne'er beheld the like:
She wore a pair of boomers,
A dickey and a vest:
The neighbors held the wheel for her
Fair lnez did the rest.
And with the lovely Inez
A gallant cavalier
Rode down the pike. to teach her
10 pedal and TO steer;
He whispered airy pothings,
He boldly secuted fear
Until he struck a jagged rock
And landed on his ear.
| saw the lovely Inez
Descend along the shore,
And there was dust all over
The boomers that she wore
Upon her face she larded.
She's beautiful no more
I'll wager such mixed-up mess
Was never seen before.
Alas. alas for Inez
She went away with song:
With ribbons on her handlebar,
And shoutings of the throngi
She came back all disordered
Nor brought her wheel along
The doctor says twill be a month
Before she's well and strong.
