TIBERTAS IMPERATRIX."

So reads the heading of the leader
editorial In the Hawaiian Star of the
30th of May. On that date the people
of Honolulu observed with the same or
der of ceremonial we maintain the
beautiful ministrations of Decoration
Day. Away in a foreign land the dead
heroes of America are remembered and
flowers are strewn in their honor
And this is the people whom Stephen
NJ White, renegade from California po-
litically, and its enemy in all that can
constitute enmity, since he fights it's
highest and best interests, declares un-
fit to be taken under the shelter Of
our protection Hear how a leading
paper Of the chief city Of Hawaii speaks
of us and our Memorial Day, and then
turn to jabbering Mr.. White in the
United States Senate, abusing the high
trust reposed in him. and ask ourselves
which? The "Star" opens it's editorial
thus.
Decoration Day has for many years
been an especially honored day in
Honolulu. There have been reasons
for this. Many of our honored citi-
zens were men who had fought in the
great war, and as they passed away
the. town, apart from any patriotism
in the direction of the United States
naturally drifted towards a beautiful
idea.
But the tendency has grown and we
have come to honor the United States
as we honor no other nation upon
earth. We admire the others, our ear
~ instincts may go to the others, but
TO the United States we give ourselves
from our very hearts, as to the coun-
try to which they belong. 1t is some
thing to say that not the mere acci-
dent of birth, but the mature judg-
ment Of the men and women makes
us choose the United States as our
ideal and as our goal.

The American Cross.

Eds. Record Union: We are stand
ing face to face with unsurpassed brav-
cry in war; Why should there not be
some national recognition of this?
Every country in Europe has, and wise
~ has, such a distinction. To take only
two examples, we have the Iron Cross
of Germany and the Victoria Cross of
England. Is it not too much to say that
in this latter case the distinction is
priced above the Garter? Let America
honor her heroes as every other nation
does, and let the American Cross, or
the Washington Cross, be the most COW
eted mark Of honor that the country
can bestow. Let it be made from the
cannon Of our vanQuished enemies, and
let every one who sees it on the breast
of another, however poor, lift his hat to
the hero whose breast it covers. Let
Congress be appealed to to create this
great distinction, a hundred times more
welcome to a Hobson or a Dewey than
any mere advance in numbers; and
let the "Record-Union" have the honor
Of initiating this great order of merit
to the glory and the lasting pride of
those who die or who survive with brav-
cry unexcelled inwar. The records of the
Victoria Cross are among the noblest
ia Hisioiy. Imagine the IeellnS OF MS
proud mother could such a mark have
been placed for an hour on the coffin Of
her son by the mother Of a Hobson or
Bagley, and transmitted thereafter as
heirloom to his family! Surely some
such sign of imperishable honor is due
from this country to its sons, and If 1t
is strictly confined to unexcelled brav-
cry in the army or navy will tend still
more to encourage and develop a race
of heroes ARTHUR H. VIVIAN.

The 'Oregonian" comments upon the
text that adventure Is patriotism's ally.
OF course it is. We give to the young
and vigorous men enlisting for the war
all credit for devotion to their country.
But it is certainly true that the spirit
of adventure is also a prompting cause.
The natural desire to strike out along
new lines, to seek adventure for prob
able personal betterment-these operate
always to push the volunteer soldier
into expeditions moving for distant
parts. There is nothing unnatural or
unreasonable in it. 1t is worthy of
being cultivated and encouraged. We
are not piratical or conquesting peo-
pie. but the spirit Of legitimate ad-
venture is strong within US, and we are
glad that we have that motor force in
our composition as Americans. 1t en-
ables US to outweigh personal peril
with hope Of betterment. as well as to
encourage us to stand for and push to
the front beneficent American institu-
tions.

START EARLY.

In the present warm weather the
early mornings and the evenings in
Sacramento are paradisical. Tempera-
ture more delightful, air more balmy
and restful, skies more clear and in
spring cannot be imagined. The mid
day will probably be warm on the
Fourth of July, just as it should be.
just the kind of weather we need. But
since there Is to be an immense con-
gregation of children in the procession,
and as all the people want to see that
splendid line with so many Americans
on foot in civic and military formation,
let the officials in charge be moved
upon to give us that parade at a very
early hour. Nine o'clock would not be
a moment too early for the movement
of the line. By that order the process
sion and the splendidly programmed ex-
ercises in the Pavilion can be over by
noon, and in the heat of the day the
home reunions and lunches, and rest
for afternoon and night exercises can
be enjoyed. BY all means let the pro-
cession be moved as early as 9, which
is five hours advance into the day at
this season of the year. They are wise
up at Marysville, where the celebra-
tion begins at 8 a. m, just as it ought
to here, and secure thereby the oom-

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug.
gle to regain health after the birth o1
her little girl:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val.
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I had. leucorrhna badly, and q
terrible bearing-down, pain which
gradually grew worse, until l could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men.
situations were very profuse, appear.
ing every two weeks.
"I took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in q
paper. 1 sent at once for bottle OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
ponnd, and after taking two.thirds OF
the bottle felt so much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine fol
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf.
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written TO Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkhami
address is Lynn, Mass.

If any have a doubt concerning the

Spanish rule in the Philippines they
have but to read the cold, pulseless
chapter on the Philippines in the

enters, but only cold record of facts
for the year, as the historian and the
statisticians find them A more bloody
and pitiful record is not on the page
of any history than that of the cruel
ties exercised by the Spanish upon

Philippines, that when peace is ne
gotiated the United States cannot show
that it holds enough of the territory
to entitle it's claim Of capture to con-
sideration. That is very nice OF the
Spanish, to be sure. But do they take
into account the fact that we believe
just about one-tenth of all they pro-
test? Even if this latest Spanish state
ment is true, how about our contest
ing their occupation, at Iloilo, for in
stance, or some Manandoa port, as we
will be able to do before the war is
