NATIONAL EXPANSION.
Portland Oregonian: National expan-
sion has become necessary through the
logic of events That is our justifica-
ton to-day for the annexation of Ha-
waii: but if we needed any further ar
gument for our action it would be
easy to present historical proof that
the annexation of Hawaii is not justly
open to the objection that it stands
for the spirit of innovation 1t might
stand for innovation and still be alb
sOlutely justifable on the ground of
national protection and Self-interest.
To the naked savage the decent gar
ments of civilization are worn in the
spirit of innovation, and yet that is no
argument in favor of barbaric nudity.
The Pope of Rome once denounced
Copernicus as a pestilent innovator.
and every architect of a blessed revo-
luton in behalf of individual liberty
of action in matters either secular or
religious, from Pym and Cromwell
down to Sam Adams and Washington,
We're of course open to the charge of
being not only innovators in thought,
but iconoclasts in action.

VOICE OF THE PRESS.
EXTRACTS FROM EDITORIAL
EXPRESSION.
State and Coast Opinions on SUBJ
jects Of Living News
Interest.

Contra Costa Gazette: The people
have realized that our navy is de-
fective in two points, in that 1T is not
large enough, and that it was built
simply for defensive and not for Of
fensive campaigns. We need much
larger navy Had we possessed one
rs large as Great Britain, for instance,
1t is not probable this war would have
ever occurred. The way to preserve
peace is to command it. We must have
q great modern navy. The vessels we
have are all right, but there are not
enough of them, nor are they fast
enough.
UNGENEROUS CARTOONS.
Riverside Press: There is a tendency
In many of the yellow journals, and
some that are not yellow, to publish
cartoons on the present war that are
not only uncalled for, but coarse and
brutal. Whatever else one may say OF
the Spaniards in this foolhardy and un-
equal contest, they have shown them
selves brave and patriotic. The half
starved men who fought against our
troops in the trenches during these
terrible days of the siege of Santiago
are too courageous and loyal to their
country to be made the subject of cheap
ridicule by the cheap cartoonist OF
some sensational paper. And the brave
marines who went down in their ships
at Manila and Santiago are heroes,
and nobody recognizes that any more
fully than the Americans who fought
against them.
SPANISH ASSURANCE.
Humboldt Standard: The immaculate
assurance, generally called gall, which
the Spanish papers and statesmen
show when talking of terms of peace
would astonish us if we had not learned
to be surprised at nothing the Span
ish may say or do. If any Spaniard
thinks we will allow the Cubans to
pay tribute to Spain for twenty years;
to give up Porto Rico or the Philippines,
or any other island wrenched from
Spanish control, they may as well be-
gin to appreciate the fact that Uncle
Sam Will dictate terms of peace and
not the Spanish. From the present out
look, Spain will have a revolution on
her hands before she can propose terms
of peace, and the Government which
began the war will not be the one with
which we shall settle the terms of
peace. If any Spaniard thinks we will
make terms Of peace that will compel
us to pull down the American flag from
any island in which it has been hoisted
during this war he is sadly mistaken.
OVERRATED SPANISH VALOR.
Los Angeles Express: 1t should be
observed that the intense valor of the
Spaniards is manifested chiefly in the
utterances of men who are personally
safe. Premier Sagasta, for instance,
declares that the Spanish army in Gu
ba will fight while man is left Cen
eral Linares, in command at Santiago,
says his garrison will die, but never
surrender And the Spanish newspa-
pers are apparently willing, like Arte-
mus Ward, to sacrifice all their wives
relatives on the altar of their country
But when we come to look at the facts
so far as we have reliable data there

Two Lessons.

The Klondike episode has taught two valu-
able lessons.
The first is that there is vast difference
between the qualities of different baking
powders.
The second is the great superiority of the
Royal Baking Powder over others.
These lessons are enforced from practical
experience, and are entirely convincing.
Mr.. Ladue, the famous trapper and miner,
for many years agent Of the Alaska CONNER
cal Company and present owner of Dawson
City, says that no other powder gave equal
satisfaction in that climate, and the experience
of his customers was such that they always
insisted upon having the Royal.
Mr. McQuesten, who has lived and traded
in Alaska for years, says the Royal is the
only baking powder that will endure the cli-
matte changes of that region. ,
The qualities which make the Royal the
only baking powder profitable to use in the
Klondike are quite as indispensable oapowder
that shall work perfectly at home The short
comings of other powders are quite as fatal to
their usefulness and healthfulness here as in
Alaska; they are only made more apparent by
the peculiar conditions under which they are
used at the North. The superior qualities of
the Royal are peculiar to itself and make it
the best for use everywhere.
