Swell Suits for Summer.
Our $40 Royal serges.

Ten dollars is our price-and that's
only because we went to the mills
before the advance in prices and
bought heavily-and then put the
cloth into the hands of our own
tailors, with instructions to do the
best they knew how. The result is a
suit for $40 that under any other cir
cumstances couldn't possibly be made
for less than sl2.5O-and perhaps not
that little. The color has been thor
oughly tested-been given the "acid
test the severest of any. The fabric
is that hard. twisted quality-and It's
guaranteed to wear like iron, almost.

they don't or should happen to pull

AGAINST IMPERIALISM.
Senator Jones Can See No Benefit In
Our Foreign Possessions.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July Ex-senator
James K. Jones, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, left Little Rock
tonight for Washington, d. c. The senator
preferred not to discuss too freely the dis
position of Spanish dependencies conquered
by the United States, inasmuch as the
question is one that the Senate will have
to pass upon when treaty is presented,
yet he is so thoroughly an anti-expansionist
that he could not attempt to deny that he
is opposed to what the British and part
of the American press term an simper;ar'
policy.
L believe in the principle embodied in
the Declaration of Independence, that gov
ernment must be by she consent of the
governed said the senator. 'Whilc 1t may
De true the inhabitants of the Spanish ISL
ands are practically savages and incarabIe
or self-government, as a matter of senti-
ment would not feel like seeing them con-
tinued under The domination of Spain. I:ut
as to what disposition should be made of
the islands am not prepared to say
would you javor protectorate:r
We want to maintain the military gov
ernment we have set up until some treaty
is made" he replied.
Then you see nothing to be gained bv
the acquisition of foreign territory?'
Nothing TO be gained and much to be
reared. There Is no constitutional warrant
IN the adoption of a colonial policy by the
united States. and it is utterly repugnant
TO our traditions The right of the people
10 govern themselves is too firmly engrafted
in the hearts Of the American people for
US to embark on a policy of land grabbing
in violation of our oft-enuncated principles.
Nor can see any particular boon to Amer
lean commerce in Imperialism Sentiment

The cheapest and best market gets the
trade. By the annexation of Hawaii sugar
duties aggregating $9,OOOOO0 annually are
lost to us. and the Sugar refineries are the
only gamers. There is no calculating the
endless complications the policy of i'm
perialism would entail nor computing the
enormous expense of maintaining an i'm
mense army and navy. We are too well
settled in our principles of government to

parture as that contemplated in the new

According to the impressions 1 have re-
