The people have long since learned
that the most disagreeable medicines are
not necessarily the best. In fact, as a rule
they are not. What is wanted is some
thing mild and sure, such as Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Dlarrhoea Rem
edy. That is really pleasant to take when
reduced with water and sweetened. Then
it is acknowledged everywhere to be the
most successful remedy in the world for
bowel complaints. Ask any number of
druggists for the best remedy they have
for diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten
will recommend Chamberlain's. In

Mrs. Carmen NJ Llewellyn of this city
and Mrs. Hubert Waithman of Haywards
have climbed the sides of mighty Popo-
catepetl and stood upon it's summit. Sur
rounded by the sulphurous vapors from

American continent, awe-stricken by the
mightiness of the works of.nature. Their
experience was one of a lifetime. Both
women are members of the Sorosis club
of this city, the members of which are
justly proud of the honors gained by the
daring mountain clim bers. In letter,
written in the city of Mexico on July 90
to member of Sorosis, Mrs. Llewellyn
describes the trip in an interesting man
ner, and gives some valuable hints to
travellers who may contemplate an assault
upon the rugged and dangerous slopes of
the great volcano.

ascent of Popocatepetl, She writes, "do
not give your friends time to discourage

country intended 20 seize the islands
that the people would not believe them.
AS last resort the cry is raised that lit
tie Japan intends to annex the islands,
and therefore the United States must
proceed with haste or it may be too late.
!. All this talk about Japanese annexa-
ton of Hawaii is, of course, groundless.
The principal reason for believing Japan
will not annex Hawaii is that the Uni
ted States will not permit it to do so.
The established policy of this country
that NO other nation shall acquire con-
troll in Hawaii will not be seriously
questioned either by European or Asiat-
ic powers. It is by no means essential to
the freedom from domination of these
islands by some other government that
the United States annex them. The i'm
pregnable position for the United States
is that the islands shall always be free
from domination by any outside power
whatever, this country included. That
is.a contention which would be allowed
probably by every civilized or semi-civ-
ilized nation on the globe. It would be
far more in kee ping with the traditional
policy of this country than an attempt
at territorial aggrandizement.
The acquisition of Hawaii would mark
an undesirable change IN the foreign
policy of this government. The adyo-
Gates Of annexation now say the acquisi-
ton Of the islands is desirable as giving
control of an outlaying point for the
protection of our own coast. But no
sooner would acquisition become fact
than it would be found that the islands
needed "protection," and in order to
give it the government would have to
prepare for a policy of militarism as OPP
posed to q policy of peace
The United States can secure no bene-
fits from annexation over and above
those naturally pertaining to the nam
tenance Of friendly relations with the IS
lands, together with . guaranty Of free
dom from interference with autonomy
by outside powers.

The Chicago Record has the follow
ing on the question of Hawaiian annexa-

The annexationists are now trying to
make Japan appear to the American
people as the bogey Of the Pacific. This
is rather hard to do, because the Ameri-
can people are so little inclined to take
seriously the suggestion of Japan as a
formidable competitor and antagonist,
but the effort is being made all the same.
For some time the annexationists tried
to make it appear that England stood
ready to seize Hawaii, and declared that
if the United States did not not take the
islands the British would. But there
was so little ground for the charges that
