Every time a British or American
statesman or man of parts responds TO
toast i'm this the banquet season, he
has something to say on one phase or
another OF expansion. His listeners ex-
pect II. and he says IT. Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain told the Conservative Club
in London the other evening that the
United States. Germany and Japan are
one with England in the demand for
an "open door TO China. He regards
the United States and Germany as hav-
ing worldwide commercial interests in
common with Great Britain, and Japan
as coming to the front as It partaker
of the trade Of the Eastern Empire.
Mr.. Chamberlain declared that Great
Britain welcomed the United States on
entering upon their career as a coloniz-
ing nation.

Now here on our own side the pond
is Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, address,
ing the Boston boot and shoe clubmen.
Senator Lodge SCOTS at the protest that
the United States have no interest in
the Pacific Ocean. and points out that
we are today the greatest power i'm
the Pacific. with one great side OF our
country washed by its waters and our
Hawaiian islands one-third the way
across TO China. 1t is nonsense for this
great nation to permit some other
power to open a back door to Eastern
trade while keeping the big front en-
trance locked tight to our trade and
commerce. The United States must
have their fair share OF the worlds
commerce everywhere, and If China is
to be opened TO Russia it must be made
wide open to all hands to trade in. The
speech of Senator Lodge and the speech
of Mr.. Chamberlain were both made on
the same evening, they touched the
same subject. and they viewed It in
identically the same way. And, more
over. also on the same evening, Presi-
dent Low of Columbia College. taking
a view less broad than either Mr..
Chamberlain or Senator Lodge urged
upon the Unitarian Club of New York
that no other course was left open TO
our government in the Philippine mat
ter than to hang on TO the islands, take
them with all their possibilities of en-
barrassment, but take them. face the
difficulties man fashion and do the best
we can. There still remains, OF course.
in our country a considerable and in
telligent opposition to the expansion
policy i'm some or all OF fits various
phases. But IT is to be hoped that this
minority sentiment will some day re-
joice that II could not prevail. as such
sentiment I'm years gone by i'm our ma
tional history has found reason to re-
joice when the fruits II new policies
have ripened.

Advertising mediums have Increased
marvelously in the past decade. There
are more people on earth today than
ever before, and so more customers.
There are more buildings. and so more

car take people out in the country, and
so there are indicated more bill boards
More people demand more barber shops
so more barber shop ceilings are Of

OF development is not limited so long
as there is a spot on earth bare OF adj

the widening Of the advertisers oppor-
tunity does not necessarily mean in
creased advantages. Freaks are tempt

the palate. but 1t commands a fancy
price and is not good for the stomach
The newspaper is today the first and
best advertising medium. as It WAS be-

If any, businesses can show a history
OF success that has been built up by
advertising that has not included the

of an unexpected attack by a thousand
natives on a Russian post garrisoned by
300 infantry at Andijan, Ferghana

uprising, in which 20 soldiers were kill
