THE NEW POLICY.

Many people in our country are too
apt to forget the object and purpose in
organizing our government. At this
Time it is proper to consider these when
those in power are engaged in imperial
schemes of annexing distant islands
with different races not far removed
from barbarian.
This new policy will involve the coun.
try in large expenditures without a
doubt. A large increase in the army
and the navy, to say nothing Of other
expenditures and complications are in.

the late election 30 decreed. Some i'm
agine it will be the way to civiize, and
Christianize the eight or ten millions
who inbabit the Philippine islands and
belong to the Malay race.
All this may seem very nice to those
carried away with such ideas; but self
preservation should always be para
mouLt. A full, complete and sufficient
answer is contained in the preamble to
the constitution which clearly states
the purpose, thereof. 1t reads:
We, the people OF the United States,
in order to form q more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tran.
guilty, provide for the common de-
fense, promote the general welfare and
secure the blessings OF liberty to our
selves and our post9rity, do ordain and
establish this constitution of United
States OF America.
1t will be seen that the wise men who
framed the instrument and the Ameri.
cans who endorsed it, and the people
who have con inued to endorse and sus
tain it, thought the proper policy was to
take care OF yourselves and our pos
terity" by establishing justice, ETC."
This new policy may involve the
country in costly and dangerous ways
that even the leaders in the schemes

sity" is claimed as II there was anything
in such claim. The President speaks
Of "duty and destiny" His duty is to
obey the constitution which he took an
oath to sustain.

JOHN LAIRD'S LONG LIFE.

The remains of John Laird will be
laid away Today. His span CT life be-
ginning in 1906, was continued till the
morning Of the Goth inst.
When Mr. Laird was born steamboats,
were unknown. 1t was in 1907 when
he was over year old that Fulton run
his steamer that demonstrated the pos
sibiIity of prJpelling boat by steam.
1t was long years after this that ocean
steamers became a success.
Illuminating gas was first used in Lon
don in SO4, but was not in general use
for years af er. Mr.. Laird was in his
tenth year when the battle Of Waterloo
was fought and he no doubt heard
rousing cheers over the battle OF New
Orleans.
Mr.. Laird was young man of %

lived to see railways come and the
canal become OF little use. 1t would

in science and otherwise, and the inven-
tions that have taken place during the
life of John Laird. He lived to see and
realize the wonders of telegraphy in
crossing oceans and continents, and
also electricity as an illuminating and

No doubt Mr., Laird rfjoiced at being
permitfed TO witness these numerous
miracles and wonders crowded into this
century. And to think that the genera
