TERRITORIAL ExPANsIoN.

A stock argument OF those who favor
territorial expansion to all parts Of
the globe, is that the United States was
committed TO the policy IN acquiring
territory on this continent from the
Spanish and other nations. They point
TO the Louisiana purchase, covering the
territory lying between the Mississippi
river and Rocky mountains. the annex.
alton OF Texas in 1915, the Mexican ees-
sion Of 1913, covering the Pacific coast
territory south OF Oregon, and other css
sion OF contiguous Territory. II is unjust
10 make comparison between this terri.
tory and the Philippine Islands. The
former is American soil and was contiS
nous 10 that embraced within United
States territory. 1t was taken for the
purpose Of accommodating the overflow
from our increasing population. On the
other hand the Philippines are inhabited
by millions Of half civilized aud barbar-
Gus people, are unified as a place Of
abode for Americans By their location in
the topics, and must, for generations, be
governed by military force if they be-
come dependencies OF this country. 1t
may be true that from a purely mer.
cenary view. the annexation of the Phil
ippines would prove profitable: but this
can be accomplished by simply holding a
eoaling station at Manila and keeping
the bay as harbor for our naval vessels.
The expansionists say that jefferson ia
vored territorial annexation. That is
true, but he favored only the annexation
OF contiguous territory. Washington. in
his farewell address, warned the Ameri-
cans against the policy that the expan-
sionists now advocate. It is but a step
from imperialism to the throne, and the
dangers that threaten republican gov.
crnment from the adoption OF the Impe-
rial policy are even greater than those
that were settled by the war OF the re-
bellion. The popular wave that swept
over the country during the war, Of hold
ing onto the spoils, shows signs OF having
spent it force, and the people are awak-
ening to the fact that territorial expan-

policy fraught with the greatest danger to
our form OF government. They see in it
a gradual concentrating and cemtralizing
OF power. the increase OF governing DOW.
er by military force, a closer union OF
imPerialists, and government farther
removed from the people. They see
these things in the cry for territorial ex-
Pansion. In the unprecedented recon-
m9ndation OF Secretary Alger for the ap
preparation OF $l66,OOO,OOO for the main.
tenance OF the regular army, they also
see constantly increasing burIen of
taxation.
All these things are being considered
by the American people, and that is Why
opposition to the expansionist doctrine
is increasing.

DIR. P. Harold Hayes, of Buffalo, N. Y,
announces that Asthma can be cured so that
it stays cured, and says: IF patient is
loyal to the conditions of cure, then there
is no uncertainty as to the result. In all the
world there is not an Asthmatic, free from
Heart Disease, Bright's Disease, Tubercles
in the Lungs, or other organic compiled
tons, who cannot be cured of Asthma and to
stay cured" Dr. Hayes has now treated
more than forty thousand cases of Asthma
and Hay-Fever, and sends to all applicants
such testimony and proofs as cannot be
gainsaid or doubted. Among his patients
are many who have not had particle of
Asthma for more than ten years and some
of them have now stayed cured for nearly
twenty years. No charge is made for con.
sultation by mail and all sufferers are in.
vited to write about their own cases.

AN IDEA FROM WISCONSIN.


state will be divided into districts, CO.
extensive with the political divisions
set apart for the election of state as
semblymen. Each of these districts
will be in charge of a captain, who will
see to it that his lieutenants obtain the
signatures of every citizen who is inter-
ested in road Improvement. 1t is pro-
posed to have each assemblyman head
the list in his respective district, SO that
the legislature will simply be petition
ing itself.
Every wheelman and wheelwoman
who signs the petition agrees to give
one dollar for road building as soon as
the state has made the appropriation.
When the monstrous petition is COM
pleted, it is proposed to have 1000
wheelmen visit the state capital and
present the document to the legislature
in support of a good roads bill. Of
course the local centurions in all the
towns will lead their respective dele
cations to the capital. As an aid to the
enterprise, State Centurion Marshall
has caused to be made a sketch of the
state in outline, with the proposed road
ways running through it. A cut of the
design is published herewith, and it
will be used on the backs of envelopes
by all enthusiastic cyclists and their
business friends. Speaking of the pro-
ject, State Centurion Marshall said:
Members of the Wisconsin division
have long realized that only by active
work could anything be accomplished
in the way of road improvements. In
such an enterprise we are dealing with
politicians and the only way to treat
with q politician is to allow him to
make no promises. Performance is the
thing, and we propose to make the pol
iticians perform. All the talk in the
world would not build mile of road.
What you need is sand. and perhaps
gravel, not to disdain few rocks to
help out the plan.
II have realized all along what
great task this is, but think it can be
accomplished. Our petition cannot be
ignored by the Legislature, when it is
signed by all the members before it is
presented. 1t takes nervy politician
10 deny his own signature. We who
ride only on the highways are compe
tent to judge of what is needed. We
propose to give dollar for dollar with
the state, and shame the common
wealth into an act of civilized progress.
The design have made is for use on the
backs of envelopes, and we want all the
members of the Legislature to begin us
ing these designs, even if we have to
present them with their stationery. We
do not expect to do much talking about
this matter, except where it will pro-
mote the project. What we need more
than anything else is little action."-

COMPLETELY DISCOURAGED.

As a result of our changeable climate
catarrh has become one of the most preva-
lent and universal diseases known to man.
Nearly one-third of the people of the United
States are afflicted with catarrh in some of
its many phases or stages. Add to this fact
that catarrh rapidly tends to become fixed
or chronic; also the further fact that it is
capable of producing great many other
diseases, and we begin to realize the true
nature of this dread disease. So formidable
has catarrh become that in every city or
town of any size numerous doctors are to be
found who make the treatment of catarrh
speciality. Mr.. Ralph w. Chulip, La Porte,
