lava AND PORTO RICO.
Sir George Sydenham Clarke Thinks
America Should Annex Them.

London, July 26.-Sir George Syden-
ham Clarke, the expert on naval tao
tics and coast ~defenses, writes to the
Daily Graphic today, strongly approx
ing American annexation of Hawaii
and Porto Rico. He says:
at is for the best intents Of the world
that a canal connecting the Atlantic
and Pacific should be controlled by the
United States, and whatever attitude
the European powers may take. for
eign interference in Central America
is out OF the question. because the in
terests Of the United States and Great
Britain in the future will be perma-
nent.
"Dhere, Lord S%ailsbury's policy to-
ward the United States is statesman
like"
The letter was evoked by an article
in the Daily Graphic calling atten-
tion TO the reversal Of Englani's ira
ditional policy to prevent the United
States from acquiring s%trategical po-
sitions in the Atlantic and Pacific, en-
abling 1T to control the possible canal.
The Daily Graphic. in an editorial
this morning, says it agrees with Sir
George Sydenham Clarke. but is Gu
rious to know what induced Lord Sails
bury to adopt an attitude which has
so much facilitated the United States.

TIE CAMP
United States Special Agent Visits the
Head of Brush Creek.

The Tribune learns that the large
tie camp of southern Carbon county is
no more. The cause OF the demise can
easily be stated. United States Spe-
cial Agent G.. b. Abbott paid the camp
a visit asst week and made the discov-
cry that the ties were being IL upon
unsurveyed and u%noccupied public
land and that tie contractor, j. c. Tel
Ter, had not even a shadow of title to
the timber which he was cutting. Mr..
Abbott, it Is learned, closed the camp
for good and seized all OF the ties
upon the ground for the government.
Mr.. Teller practically admitted that
under proper construction Of the law
he was a ~trespasser upon government
property. but says the closing Of the
camp will entail a heavy loss upon him
and throw $50 men out Of work. The
tie camp was located near the head Of
Brush creek and not far from the old
Aztec placer mines. and Brush creek
n the North Platte river were util-
lied to get the ties to the railroad at
Fort Steele. The first drive Of the sea-
son, containing many thousand ties,
reached the railroad last Saturday, and
forty men, earning 50 each per day,
brought the ties down.
Mr.. Teller's contract for these ties
was with the Union Pacific Railroad

THE PRESS AND THE CHURCH

Owing to an enlightened and influen-
tiaI Press. the Rev. Mr. Kincaid will
find his new charge, the Central Union
Church in a flourishing condition. The
Rev Mr.. Birnie carefully wound it up
at the close of his pastorate, oiled its
machinery and adjusted its parts, so
that the new pastor would find it as
the insurance men say, "a first class
risk" The Rev. Mr.. Hill occasionally
looked over it and made such tempo
rary repairs as the usual wear and tear
required. 1t is almost needless to
say, however, that it is to the local
Press that the credit is really due for
maintaining this church in its integri-
ty during it's periodic change of the
pastorate. The vigilance of the Press
has checked any slight tendencies on
the part Of the trustees to undue
worldliness, owing to the absence of a
spiritual guide. When the Higher
Criticism has knocked at the door, and
appealed for an opportunity to offer
strange doctrines, the Press has hustl-
ed that vicious person off to some theo-
logical reef When evil disposed per
sons have thrown into the church the
doctrinal apple of discord, the Press
has picked it and thrown it out of the
window The efforts to induce the sis
ters to remove their hats, so that those
behind them might view the platform

PERRY'S VICTORY.

The recent celebration here, by the
Sons of the American Revolution of
the victory won by Commodore Perry
over the British ships on Lake Erie
during the war of 1912, recalls Chaun-
cey Depew's words in q late number
of the North American Review, to this
effect: that if there ever is a war be
tween the United States and Great
Britain it viii be due to the school
books that keep alive the hatred of
Great Britain in the minds of the
children by recounting the stories Of
the war.
So far as the recital of Perry's vic
tory, or any other victory over the
British fosters meek, gentle, quiet
spirit of national amity, and broad
Christian charity, it is a most desirable
act; and ought to be repeated frequent
Iy If the soul of our excellent friend,
DIR. Emerson is filled with holy joy, and
benevolent aspirations in recounting
the SCIENCES of a bloody fight in which
one set of Gods creatures blew to
pieces another set of Gods creatures,
he may be justified in the recital.
Usually, however, such recount
ings only stir up the savagery in man
and increase his delight in personal
triumphs
If the society of Sons of St. George
in it's annual meetings here celebrated
with enthusiasm the capture of the city
of Washington, and the burning of the
public buildings and the capitol during
the same war, and then drank toasts
to the flight of the American braves
who abandoned the front and the city
in the "Blandenburgh races, and left
it to the enemy, would this not tend
to personal collisions? Would it not
so exasperate the Sons that, aged
and respectable as they are, they
would take off their coats, march over,
and "clean out" the Britishers? And
would it not end in scenes in the police
court, and the services of Judge Will
cox?
At a time when Brother Jonathan
and John Bull, each with his weather
eye open on the other, are fondly en-
bracing each other, and sucking the
"cobbler" of alliance through the same
straw, does it tend to harmony for
