that this case will not drift into the mys-

an environment also to their nkfng on
other grounds to pitch their tents IN any
new field. Hawaii win continue to be their
home. We shall see nothing Of them here
In the United States.
The Asiatics IN the islands are in the
main laborers under contract. This fact
alone will bar them out OF the United
States. When their contracts expire.
therefore. they will return to the countries
from which they originally came And So,
on no account Is there anything to fear so
far as our present systems and security
are concerned from the step that Is now
about to be taken. 1t Is safe in every par
ticular.
The change will not come about In the
United States. but In Hawaii Once the
Stars and Stripes goes up the staR at
Honolulu to stay, Americans will flock
there in numbers. The islands are inviting
to men of substance and enterprise There
Is plenty of room for large population
and opportunity for all who may seek to
better themselves there. Annexation
therefore. instead Of injuring us here at
home, will not only strengthen the country
In the matter of its Pacific coast defenses,
but open up a new field for American bust
ness and settlement. The extending of the
barriers two thousand miles seward from
San Francisco will simply give US that
much more elbowroom for the employ
ment of our energies and the placing of
our own people.
Nor is it to be forgotten that whatever
contributes to the building up of Hawaii
contributes to the welfare of the native
population. They will share in all inc
progress made. Just as they are better oil
today in every way than they were when
the rotten monarchy existed, just 50 much
better off will they be when the wise and
statesmanlike work inaugurated by Presi-
dent Dole and his coadjutors reaches its
meridian under the fostering care of this
larger government and greater power.

Senatorial Discourtesy

FRI M the Philadelphia Times (ind dem)
While there is much talk in the Senate
about the duty of standing by the execu-
tive, even in some matters In which the
Senate Is entitled to its separate judg-
ment, there Is very Objectionable dis
position TO hamper the executive in some
matters that should be left entirely TO his
discretion. The diplomatic relations oil
The country are necessarily entrusted to
the President. While treaties that he may
enter into are not binding without the u.s.
sent of the Senate, the negotiation of trea-
ties and the adjustment of minor interna-
donal difficulties that may not require the
formality of a treaty, are entirely within
the constitutional duties of the executive
whose action ought not to be hindered by
petty senatorial objections.
The conditions created by our present
war with Spain make this most favor
able occasion to adjust a large Number
of minor disagrsen ents with Great Britain
and Canada. most of which are not of very
great general Importance, but are the
cause of frequent friction and annoyance
The Canadian government and that OF
Great Britain, as we'll as our own have
agreed that conference of representative
men at this time might recommend such
agreements as would be mutually accept
able and the President mas asked Congress
TO make a small appropriation for ouI
share of the expense of such a conference
The appropriation was passed unhesitat.
ingly in the House. but it has been struck
cut by the Senate committee.
The Inconsistency of this action is almost
grotesque. 1t seems to imply that while
the Senate ought 10 stand by the Presi-
dent when he makes war It should oppos5
i'm when he undertakes to preserve peace
OF course the proposed commission coulf
not alter any existing laws or treaties by
its own unsupported authority, so that its
work would be generally subject to the
subsequent review Of the Senate. To re-
fuse consent TO the conference, by with
holding the appropriation, would be TO dis
play a churlish and suspicious attitude
most unfortunate at d time like this AMI
entirely contrary to the dictates of en-.
lightened public opinion.

There can be TO doubt of the unofficial
American view of the assemblage of a

that assemblage is unmannerly and pro-

tect existing German interests, but to find
new interests to protect. 1t Is engaged.

He is TO blame. IF he tells you

hiding your mail for the pleasure
of having you call for it two or
three times day. Ask him to

REAL LESSONS OF CHRIsr-
MAS.
There Can be no Love for God
Which is Unattended by Love
for Man.

"Too often in our Christmas re-
ligious observances is this thought
almost entirely lost sight of, or
not sufficiently emphasized, :"
writes Edward Box in the Deem
Der Ladies' Home journal. "There
can be no love for God which is
unattended with love for man.
The final test of the Christian life
is not the worship of God, but
always the love of man for man.
IF the message of Him whose birth
we celebrate at Christmas teaches
us one thing above all others, it is
not that we shall try TO do for Him
as a person, but that we shall seek
to do for one another. That is
knowing Jesus and clearly under
standing Him. And wherever this
true conception of His life and
teaching is IT ached, there we find
men and women thrilled with the
passion for giving. The little child
wakes on Christmas morning with
it's heart full to OVERLOOKING with
gladness. and by ever gift in stock
ing. or bedside cradle or had, is
taught anew the old, Oh. i, eson of
love. Husband and wife, brother
and sister, lover and sweetheart,
friend and friend, as they receive
their gifts are reminded once more
that love is not dream, but re-
llity- and reality which grows
more vital, more precious and more
enduring with the years. The sick.
in chair or in bed, as they open
heir Christmas packages are al
most reconciled to loneliness and
Jain. The friendless, the poor,
the outcast, the waits on the streets,
those who have sinned and seem
shut out from God and from man,
all begin to feel strange thrills of
hope and renewed aspiration as
hey are taken up and EMBODIED in
the richness and fullness of the Di-
vine love as it comes to them
through human love or attention
IN Christmas Day That is know
ing Christmas in its highest and
noblest sense; in its truest con-
ception; knowing it in that spirit
from which we derive the surest
happiness"
