NECESSITY FOR A NAVY
Rev. Dixon of New York breaches q
Sensational Sermon

NEW YORK, June 20.-"Necessity for the
Construction of Mighty Nation" was the
subject selected by Rev. Thomas Dixon, in
the Grand Opera House last night. He said
in part:
progress always had its tragic element.
There is always the struggle of two forces,
the one pushing forward, the other pulling
back. Monasticism, which is the term to
describe the principle of that class who
want isolation for this nation means decay
of the mind, means death in the individuals,
and as much in the nation. In the condi-
ton with which we are face to face now
we have all been brought to realize the ne
cessity for mighty navy. The Westerner
who before did not see why the construc-
ton of court house at his particular cross
road was not of more Importance than the
building of battleship now sees. We have
discovered that a navy cannot be bought
in crisis, or over the counter Money
counts for naught. We tried that. We have
proved that it takes foresight and skill to
make navy. With that knowledge we
have bought dearly it is now the immediate
duty of the United States to begin building
the mightiest navy in the world at an ex-
penditure of not less than $1O00,OO 900. 1t is
great unsettled issues in this world that
cannot be settled except by the way of
force and life and death. Because we were
not prepared for war Spain dared to fight
Now we are spending more than $1,O00,0OD
day to carry on war, the end of which
we do not yet see. In less than four years
the 81, 900 ,0O0, 900 will have been spent and
nothing to show for it. If we had spent this
money in building such navy we would
still have the money virtually in our country
and the lives of our men. Such policy Is
In the end the most economical that we can
adopt. The only defense is the power to
strike to kill the power of aggression
Diplomacy must have something besides
wind to back it up. Efficient diplomacy
must be prepared to speak with lips of metal
W hen 1t gets through with words.
1--WE have a Monroe doctrine which is a
dangerous policy unless we have adequate
means to enforce 1t. We must have a navy
to hold our new territory, and hold 1t we
must We can't give it back to Spain with
out complete qualification of our policy.
1t would be contrary to every principle for
which we have fought. 1t is our destiny to
keep it and we must be prepared to live our
destiny.
"A nation that can forget its Deweys, a
nation that could sit down and not build
ships when it has such men to command
ought to de-

STUDENTS DRAMA
St Vincent's College Boys Play to a
Full House

"Sedecias, the Last King of JUDAH" a
drama, was given last evening to large au-
dence In the Los Angeles theater by The
students of st. Vincent's college. "Sede-
cias" was presented in Los Angeles first by
the late Father A. j. Meyer some twelve
years ago. The scenes are laid in Cha!dea
when Babylon was in the height of it's glory
and the Babylonan monarchs had taken
captive the kings Of Judah and the children
of Israel.
The characters were we'll cast and the
actors acquitted themselves with great
credit There was no hesitancy in recall
ing lines and no false movements. Every
thing went forward with the dignity that
befltted the words. 1t was evident through
out that much careful training study and
practice had been given the play by in
structors and students alike. The charac-
tiers were all handsomely costumed.

Stories Of blossoms Almost Too Good
The brilliance Of the colorlng Of the
Central American orchids Is beautiful
beyond description. found the trees
and plants 81 Costa RIGA exceedingly
prolific The most surprising Of all
were the immense Towering trees in
the jungles and forests, resent bling our
grand old oaks, covered with delicate
pink blossoms like azaleas. often as
many as thirty blossoms in a bunch,
and hundreds Of them on tree, says a
lady recently returned from Costa Rica
to q New York Tribune reporter. Zone
OF the most beautiful pictures of Costa
Rica which recall just now is plan
tation OF coffee, with its snow-white
blossoms, fenced in by old posts, out
OF which were growing shoots from
ten to fifteen feet high, crowned with
brilliant red blossoms. The flowers of
the coffee trees are fine and grow in
little punches at the section of the
leaves and on these slender branches
as many as twenty of thirty punches
may he seen, running down their en-
tire length, In fact, covering the trees,
which stand from eight to ten feet high.
This feathery mass of blossoms soon
becomes coffee beans of a bright red
or brown color at first. Another thing
which interested me greatly was the
blossom of the banana tree, which
stands out in wonderful contrast with
the coffee blossom. 1t is of immense
size, pink and delicate green in color,
turning into brilliant red and brown
before falling and leaving the young
banana in it's place. While the wild
flowers of Costa Rica grow in prodigal
profusion and are rare and beautiful
to northern eyes, the cultivated flow
ers surpass in beauty anything ever
imagined and they blossom the year
round. I saw a white climbing rose
with hundreds of buds and full roses,
from which my hostess told me she had
cut roses every morning for eighteen
months. The stands in the markets
are covered with flowers, and one can
buy bunch of orchids there for five
cents, each one of which would cost
over 81 here. For ten cents one can
buy all the flowers one can ce"w'
