v. ]. BRYAN ON EXPANSION,
An unansWsFabIe Argument In Fayor
Of Americanism and Against
a Colonial Policy.

On former occasions I have quoted
authority against the policy of imper-
ialism and have insisted that the adopt
ion Of European colonial policy would
endauser the perpetuity Of the republic.
While every lover II his country should
be willing to surrender pecuniary ad-
vantage, however allufing, if that
advantage would in the least jeopardize
our national existence, still the oppon-
ents Of imperialism are fortunate in
having upon their side the dollar argu-
ment as well as the arguments based
upon fundamental principles.
The forcible annexation of the Phil
ipplne Islands land, in my judgment,
even annexation by the consent Of the
people) would prove q source OF pecun-
iary loss rather than gain. Heretofore
our acquisitions have been confined to
the North American continent. the
nation having in view either security
from attack or land suitable for settle
ment. Generally both objects have
been realized. Florida and the territory
between the Mississippi were necessary
for purposes of defense, and, in addition
thereto, furnished homes and occupa-
tion for an increasing population.
The Hawaiian Islands are nearer to
the western than to the eastern hemi-
sphere, and their annexation was urged
largely upon the ground that their pos
session by another nation would bs .
meuace to the United States. When
objection was made to the heteEogene-
Gus character Of the people Of the is
lands, it was met by the assertion that
they were few in number. In the opin-
ion of those who favored the annex
alton of Hawaii the advantages to be
gained from strategical standpoint
outweighted tho objection raised to the
population. No argument made in
favor of the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands can be used in support of the
imperia)istic policy. The purchase of
Alaska removed one more monarchy
from American territory and gave to
the United States q maximum of land
with q minimum of inhabitants.
In the forcible annexation Of the
Philippines our nation neither adds to
its strength nor secures broader oppor-
tunitiss for the American people.
Even if the principle Of conquest were
permissible under the public law, the
conquest Of territory so remote from
our shores, inhabited by people who
have no sympathy with our history or
our customs, and who resent our
attempts to overthrow their declaration
of independence. would be tax upon
our military and naval strength, the
of which cannot now be
determined.
Who can estimate IN money and men
the cost of subduing and keeping in
eight million of people six
thousand miles away, scattered over
twelve hundred islands and living under
a tropical sun?
How many soldiers did Spain sacrifice
in her effort to put down continuous
rebellion in Cuba? How many perished
from wounds and disease in the vain
attempt to keep the Pearl Of the Antilles
under Spanish dominion? Yet Cuba
has only about = million and halt Of

The ancient and royal game OF golf
is about certainty in this locality
For several years efforts have been
made to organize a club, but so many
obstacles have stood in the way, that
they never materialized. The Difficult
ty in finding desirable and convenient
territory at moderate charges. was one
of the greatest drawbacks. The
passive interest taken In the sport
was another; but the popularity of the
game all over the United States has
finally penetrated this section, and as,
a result sufficient number of gentle
men have banded themselves into
club with the determination of making
1t a go. Already a charter has been
applied for, and the territory selected,
on the Woods farm on the left OF the
Bethany pike after leaving the Ma
tional Road. There will be some
twenty-five or thirty acres OF terri
tory. The link will comprise six
holes. and competent person win be
employed to lay them out. erect
hazards wherever required. SOW II in
grass and put 1t In good condition for
play. II is understood that in conse-
quence of the size of the links. the
membership will be limited to forty OF
fifty in order to prevent congestion
The holes will be far enough apart and
sufficiently varied in the approaches
to give full swing to good play. and to
sufficiently penalize poor play.
Golf is recognized as the best and
most healthful all around outdoor sport
for all ages and both sexes. which ex-
lists, and Wheeling is TO be eongratu-
lated that the game is to be inaug.
urated within her precincts. We opins
that after the sport is senewally under

golf courses nearby, as there are two
courses already, the Highland link on

and SO many requests for an appear
ance of 1.-THE Players" Wheeling's
pride in dramatic work, this winter
they have about decided to produce a
play shortly after the holidays. The
Wheeling people are justly proud OF
this company of Thespians from the
fact that their work has been such as
would make many professionals envy
them. 1t would be a very difficult
matter to find in any city of its size
in the country more finished COM
pany of amateurs than ''The Players"
Their work is varied from pathetic to
the most humorous society plays of
the day. Their past productions, such
as Young Mrs. Winthrop" THE Spec
ulator" and Sweet Lavender" were
highly enjoyed by all who witnessed
them, the house being filled by our best
people on every occasion. But one
play will be put on by them this sea-
son. Their object in doing this is to
give their friends and the public a
production far exceeding anything they
have heretofore attempted. The piece
in contemplation is the one played for
two seasons by Mr.. Sol Smith Rus

We're driving near to Christmas ume'
A season ever dear;
There's evidence on every hand
That 1t will soon be here.
OF presents most desired,
And often come precise details
OF something long admired.
At times an interesting talk
Is most abruptly hushed,
Because some unexpected one
Has through the doorway rushed,
At other times some work IN mana
Is quickly dropped from sight.
Because the unexpected one
Has come with footsteps light.
The children now are wondering
Exactly how they'll fare
When good old Santa in his sleigh
Comes flying through the air.
The longest stockings they can find
Are being brought to view
And closely scanned for holes so that
No treasure can drop through.
A bright array of things,
From tiny dolls with curly hair
On up to diamond rings.
There's everything to tempt the purse,
All things to please the eye, so
And crowds are going through the doors
To see or price or buy.
And Santa Claus is on the jump,
And working night and day,
To gather up the cash to meet
The bills that he must pay,
For Christmas time is drawing nigh,
A fact that's very clear,
With evidence on every hand
That it's a season dear.

The approach of the holiday season
brings with it many demands upon
the purse, and also upon the time and
patience of the average person, as both
are called into requisition in the Sc
lection of Christmas presents for
friends. The shop windows look very
attractive, and there is suggestion
of December JOY in the wares which
are displayed The number of social
entertainments at present is compar-
atively small. There are very rev
elaborate affairs, but the clubs are
all holding heir regular meetings, and
these are sufficient to crafty the de-
