STUDENT DROWNED.
Walter Johnson, Studying at Nasho~
tab, browns in North Lake.

Nashotah, Wis, July 29.-Walter John.
son, theological student from ST. Louis,
studying at the Episcopal seminary at
Nashotah, was drowned in North lake
early yesterday morning. There is no
reason to suspect that the disappearance
is a case of suicide. In his room was
found a recently-written prayer, and it
was not of a morbid tone. He had been
preaching each Sunday at the lake and
it is supposed that the prayer was for
next Sundays service. There was not a
scrap of writing to show that he antici-
pated his sudden end. He was unusually
bright, and was favorite with all who
came in contact with him.

OF public instruction, has kindly favored
THE HERALD with neat little pamphlet
of fifty pages containing manual of ex-
ercises for the public schools for WASH
ington's first bird day, to be observed
Nav 9th. This beautiful tribute to the
birds of our state will be paid under the
auspices of the Washington state fedora
ton OF women's clubs.
The little book contains many very
pretty little poems about birds, besides
many articles descriptive of the life and
habits of Washington birds, that are in
structiye and highly entertaining. We
hope the day will be carefully observed
in all the public schools Of the state and
especially in North Yakima.

Senator Jones of Arkansas continues TO
raise his voice against imperialism He
sounded a similar note while Congress was
in session. But he Is no clearer in his ex-
Dlanation now than he was then, unless
L may be assumed that he regards the an
nexation of Hawaii. which he opposed, as
the first step in the new and dangerous di-
fection. and that the annexation of Porto
Rico when carried out will be the second
step.
why should the annexation of Hawaii
and Porto Rico by the United States be
accepted as evidence Of the Inauguration of
a policy of sweeping conquest-of imperial
ism? The country's purposes with regard
to both possessions are clearly defined.
Hawaii Is TO serve the double purpose of
aiding in the better protection Of our
Pacific coast and of contributing to our
control of the Pacific end of the Nicaragua
canal Porto Rico will serve base for
our control of the Atlantic end of the
canal Besides, as Spain must leave the
western hemisphere, Porto Rico must find
new home, and 1t Is naturally within the
sphere OF American influence.
Senator Jones is in favor of the Mica
ragua canal, and so Is the democratic
party. The party Is formally committed to
the project. But Why advocate the canal
and at the same time oppose the acquisition
of territory absolutely essential to its per-
feet control and satisfactory operation?
The canal is to be an American institution
of worldwide Importance and American
control must be complete.
These deliyerances of Senator Jones are
10 be read in the light of the fact that he
Is chairman of the democratic national
committee. Does he speak for the COM
u1Ittee? Is the cry of anti-imperialism 10
be raised by the democracy in this years
Congress campaigns? If SO, some definition
that will define must go with the term.
The people will want to know, and be justi-
fed in a demand to know. precisely what is
meant by imperialism by those who insist
that the country must not enter upon such
a policy. What is the danger. and where
is It? The country has indorsed the ac-
quisition of Hawaii, and there is no doubt
about what its decision will be respecting
Porto Rico. Where does genuine imperial
ism begin?

The Hawaifans Are All Right.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A contemporary which doesn't know how
TO gracefully fall into the march of events
sneers at the news that the formality of
annexing the Hawaiian Islands is to be
celebrated with fireworks, brass bands and
chorus singing ''These are three joys" 1t
says, ''for which an Hawaiian would not
only desert his flag, buff obtainable in
no other way-would even work" The Ha-
waiians are all right. Even those who
were claimed to be attached to the mon
archy have enthusiastically welcomed an
nexation to the United States. The occa-
sion is one amply justifying fireworks and
music. 1t has been shown lately that the
United States made even better bargain
than was claimed in the annexation of the
islands. There is not the slightest indica-
ton of friction. The Hawaiians have es-
capped an unhappy thraldom. They have
acted as wisely and patriotically as our
revolutionary fathers did when they aban-
doned the British flag.

Regulate the Ash Carts.

The superintendent OF street cleaning
rightly calls attention in his annual report
to the need of reform in the method of re-
moving ashes and similar refuse from resi-
dences and business esta hlishments. This
city is variously striving to improve its
condition. seeking more thorough means Of
street cleaning, more modern and scientific
methods of garbage and sewage collection
and disposal. mere complete police and fire
protection, more efficient food inspection, and
in many other ways is tending steadily and
surely toward the ideal Of municipal man
agement that should prevail at the capital
city of this nation. 1t seams incongruous,
therefore, that no check should be placed
upon the reckless and promiscuous hauling
of ashes and other like materials through
the streets, not only littering them with
droppings, but offending the principles of
cleanliness in other ways. The average ash
cart is a ramshackle affair, barely self
sustaining, patchwork of wires and odds
and ends of boards. disreputable in appear
ance and inefficient in service. The ashes
are usually handled in a careless manner,
the air is filled with dust and odors. and the
dumping is by no means always in accord
ance with the rules of health or the local
regulations. Unsightly heaps of this refuse
offend the eye in the less densely populated
sections, wherever convenient sunken areas
invite the deposit of all manner of trash,
which is forthwith raked over by scaven-
gers for the pitiful spoils of the back lots.
No safe estimate is to be placed upon the
degree of danger that this decidedly anti
quated method of disposal involves. Were
the refuse composed solely of ashes the case
would not be so bad, but the average do
mestic lash barrel is a receptacle for all
manner of discarded materials, often con-
taminated with disease germs and capable
of such deterioration as to give rise to un-
wholesome influences. Some modern COM
worth of as deep thought as that which
has b. en- bestowed upon the garbage ques-
tion. Remedies have been applied and the
case is found TO be- readily regulated. Strict
rules for the handling of all sorts of do
mestic waste are required, but above all the
means of final disposition should be closely
and scientifically studied and the hauling
devices must be as carefully attended to as
are those which convey the garbage and the
cleaning5 from the sewers. Ultimately the
city should undertake this work just as it
should undertake all other forms of mu-
nicipai endeavor, such as the cleaning of
of the garbage. Until that event, however,
the corps of volunteer ash collectors should
assuredly be placed under some sort of re-
strietion as to their carts and their methods
1t will not do to be particular in one branch
of the municipal housekeeping and sloyenly
in another.

1t has just come to light that Hawaii
undertook a little annexation business on
her own account just before she was taken
into the United States by the same pro-
cess. On the morning of the day when the
Coptic arrived with the news of Hawaii S
absorption an expedition put forth from
Honolulu. dispatched by the government to
locate two small guano islands in the ex-
treme northwest corner of the Hawaiian
group and to take possession of them In
the NJ me of the republic of Hawaii. These
Islands are named Noreli and Byre but
have never been definitely placed on the
map, being approximately indicated by ty-
pcgraphers with the symbol 'PD,'' meaning
position doubtful" 1t is not certain that
any trace of them viii be found by the
explorers. for they may be mere reefs or
atolis that have been swallowed by the
sea since their first location by some pass
ing voyager. If they exist they assuredly
belong to the Hawaiian system and are
probably valuable only for their guano.
However the expedition may result, the
enterprise shows that the Hawaiians were
eager to turn over complete assortment
of Islands to the United States when the
latter should appear with demand for
possession. There were to be no broken
lots in the case. The process of annexa-
ton Of Norell and Byre by Hawaii and of
Hawaii by the United States savors OF the
