HOAR AND EXPANSION,


One of the clerks at the capitol in.
Washington, who spends considerable
of his leisure time in reading expansion
literature, has come across a speech by
Senator Hoar, OF Massachusetts, which
he regards as quite remarkable, in the
light of the senator's more recent ut
terances on the Philippine question.
The passage is from an Grafton deliv-
cred by Senator Hoar at Plymouth on
Dec. II, 1895, at the celebration of the
2l5th anniversary of the landing Of the
Pilgrims. The speech was reprinted in
pamphlet form in Washington in 1885.
In it. toward the close, are found these
words:
This is the one story to which, for
US, or for our children, nothing in hui
man annals may be cited for parallel
or comparison, save the story of Beth
lehem. There is none other told III
heaven or among men like the story of
the Pilgrim. Upon this rock is founded
our mouse. Let the rams descend ana
the floods come and the winds blow and
beat upon that house: it shall not fall.
The saying. of our prophet-our Daniel
lis fulfilled. The sons Of the Pilgrim
have crossed the Mississippi and pos
sess the shores Of the Pacific. The tree
our fathers set covered at first a little
space by the seaside. 1t has planted It's
banyan branches in the ground. 1t ha<
spread along the lakes. 1t has girdlee
the gulf. | has spanned the Missis
sippi. 1t has covered the prairie ant
the plain. The sweep of It's lofty arche!
rises over the Rocky mountains anC
the Cascades and the Nevadas. 1t
hardy growth shelters The frozen re
gion of the northwest. It's boughs hans
over the Pacific. And in time in GOO
time-it will send its roots beneath tn
waves and receive under its vast can
opy the Islands of the sea.

OFFICE OF STATE PRINTER

The Times Republican is developing
into reform journal! 1t proposes 10
reform the state printing by abolishing
the office of state printer-that fat If
scandalous Place for partisan reward.
Two years ago the iowa State Register,
to the Amusement Of the entire state,
made a great If self4interested war on
the methods Of the state printer, but
not against the office If We remember
correctly. Now the Times Republican
says sit is self evident that the office
cannot be a very fat thing for both
state and printer and il IS the purpose
of this journal to defend the interests
of the state Then it proceeds TO out
line its position and argument against
the office and in favor of contract
printing. 1t has taken a long time to
bring 1t around to this position, for ii
has been known for years that the
worst hole in the state treasury was
the state printing office. But better
reform would be for the state to run
Its own print-shop on the line Of the
federal government printing office.
The above from the State Center En-
terprise, although somewhat doubtful
praise, is believed to have been we'll in
tended. The Times-Republican would
rather not pose as a reform journal as
the term reform" has become too
closely associated with radcalism, but
it will be heard on every subject of pub
lie interest that arises. In this case the
offices of state printer and binder have
seemed useless and extravagant insti-
tutions and it was the duty of an hon
est Journal to point out the fact now as
the state legislature is about to assem-
BILE. It is true that attacks have beer
made upon these offices before but they
+ have been animated by personal inter
ests and have been directed against
the fortunate incumbents rather
than against the offices as state insti.
