Time to Think Over Expansion.

Representative Loudenslager of New
Jersey arrived yesterday and registered
at Wizards. The New Jersey Congress-
man is full OF cautiousness, in the matter
of expansion, and is disposed to urge de-
liberation. Before declaring himself he
is going to wait and see what the Senate
does.
Il have not heard so much positive talk

Two POINTED Questions Ans,ercd

What is the use of making better ar

How can you get the public to know

If both articles are brought prominently

tried and the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only the bet
