East to establish in Cuba protectorate which will
end only with the annexation of the island to the
United States, peaceably if We can forcibly if we
must.
This evidence is to be found in the reports OF
special correspondents writing from Cuba to the
leading imperial organs OF the East and setting forth
with much elaboration the excellence of our admin
istraton there the number and variety OF benefits
that are being conferred upon the people, the bright
prospects of commerce and the inability OF either OF

coMMENpED BY EDUCATORS.

IRON the moment the plan OF The Call for
providing courses Of home study for its readers
under the direction OF OF the foremost
authorities OF the country submitted to the con
sideraton OF persons engaged in the work OF educa-
ton il received their cordial approval and commenda-
ton Their praise has been given frankly and in en-
phatic words. They have perceived in the plan
movement in the direction OF higher journalism and
popular culture and have been prompt to recommend
it to the public
Mrs Mills, president Of Mills College, in letter
to The Call, says Your plan OF presenting to the
readers OF The Cali different OF study WILL
am sure commend itself to all who are interested
in good journalism and in the proper education OF
the public 7 heartily indorse the plan and shall be
glad to commend it to our faculty and students, and
through them to their friends
President Wheeler OF Berkeley says: Your plan
Of readings for the home study circle is admirable
The list OF contributors brings together remarkable
body Of men, all recognized leaders in the fields they
represent l bid you godspeed in your undertaking.
President Jordan OF Stanford says: Il very
much in sympathy with the home study circle work
which The Call is now taking up. I am personally
acquainted with most OF the men and women engaged
in writing for the circle, and l know them to be
among the most eminent OF American scholars
These statements from such high authorities show
the sentiment OF educators generally the subject
In a certain sense Mrs Mills, President Wheeler and
President Jordan represent the educational force Of
the commonwealth and express the thoughts OF all
engaged in the work OF instruction. Our courses OF
study are therefore recommended to the public by
authorities whom all will respect and entitled to
the careful consideration OF every family in the State
When once the series has begun the papers will
carry their own recommendation. They will have
sufficient merit to and hold the attention OF
intelligent readers Writers OF such established repute
as Edward Dowden, William J. Rolfe, Hiram Corsoa,
Albert S. Cook Isaac N. Demmon, Albert Bushnell
Hart John Bach McMaster, Charles H. Smith An
drew c. Mclaughlin, John c. Van Dyke, Russell
Sturgis, A. L. rockingham Jr., Mrs. Helen Camp
bell, Mrs Margaret E. Sangster, Mrs. Kate Gannet
Wells, Miss Lucy Wheelock and Miss Anna Bar
rows hardly need any introduction Endorsement
to recommend them to the favor Of the American
people President Jordan has rightly characterized
them as among ''the most eminent Of American
scholars" The studies which they will contribute
will prove OF instruction and OF interest to every
household and The Call will be more valuable than
ever to its readers.

SOMETHING TO BOAST OF.

NUR esteemed contemporary, the Examiner
| ] published yesterday morning with much dis
~ play a brief telegram announcing that the
telegraph line from Skaguay to Dawson has been
completed and that the dispatch itself was the first
newspaper message sent over it. Having reached
Skaguay the telegram was brought down by mail
to New Westminster and thence sent by wire reach
ing our contemporary within six days after having
been dispatched from Dawson. Now says the
Examiner with pride this is something to boast of"
1t is indeed something for the Examiner to boast
Of since it has the appearance OF being legitimate
news and not fake 1t has that appearance because
it does not purport have been piece Of enterprise
on the part OF the Examiner but OF the Yukon Sun.
It is somewhat important piece of information, and
we are glad to note that our contemporary is at least
trying to gather and has enough to recog-
nize it when sent in by outsiders.
We must however, direct the attention Of the Ex-
amner to the fact that the most important item Of
current all the world at this time is the
of The Calls wireless telegraph service under the d
rect supervision OF the gifted inventor, Marcon In
comparison with the feats which the tclegraphy
has accomplished in reporting the yacht race, the
opening of a wire line between Skaguay and Dawson
is a. very insignificant thing
By the enterprise Of the Yukon Sun the Examiner
gets a message of some sixty words from Dawson
within six days. pretty feat truly and one Of which
the Yukon Sun has right to boast But think OF
receiving messages from far out at sea- messages ag-
gregating many thousands of words, transmitted
across the continent and buletined in three minutes
That is something to boast of.
Wireless teegraphy is the most important the most
interesting and the most marvellous news item Of the
time By means OF it The Call is giving to the pub
lie bulletins from the far ahead OF its conte-
poraries. revolution has, in fact, been effected in
newsgathering. A new era in telegraphy has begun
From every part of the civilized world of science
bankers merchant princes commanders of armies and
ravies and great statesmen watching intently the
wonderful feats now being performed by the magic
science and genius of the gifted Italian youth who
IS serving the public through The Call and the New
York Herald. Still sluggish contemporaries
know little Of all that is going on Their readers
learn nothing of the narves of wireless teegraphy
but are told with immense display Of big type that
it is something to boast of that message has been
sent by wire from Dawson to Skaguay.

Sunstrokes.


In discussing the Oriental trade San
Francisco people have insisted on the Nj
caragua canal as benefit to them. The
Sun years ago took issue and insisted that
SO far as trade with the Orient was con-
cerned the canal would prove detrimental
to that city. A superficial talker by the
name of Barrett seemed to set the mer-
chants Of the metropolis wild about the
coming trade with the Orient, but he went
on to tell them about how it was neces-
sary to have another Senator in order
that We might get the canal, and he
seemed to take it for granted that San
Francisco wanted that great waterway in
order to foster her trade with China and
the islands The Call took him up on it
and says a great deal in the following few
words:
''The west coast of South America lies
east OF New York When the canal is
built that coast will be nearer to New
York than to San Francisco. Therefore,
if nearness is an element in the problem,
New York Will do the trade of that coast
which we do now. Again, New York S
trade with the Orient now has to go
around Cape Horn or the Cape of Good
Hope; or, avoiding this doubling of either
continent, 1t passes the Pillars of Her
cules and travels by the Mediterranean
and the Suez canal. When the Nicara-
qua canal is built San Francisco will be
no nearer the Orient than now, but the
distance from New York to the Orient
will be cut One-halfi"

the unftness OF the people for self-governmcnt it
will not be hard for these various forces to accom-
plish it.
There already the horizon signs of prepara-
tons made to retard the organization of an indepen
dent Cuban government 1t has been announced from
Havana that movement has been started there to
form a government from which the negro race will
be excluded. Such movement would of course
precipitate issue at once and fill the island with
confusion. The cry of the annexatonists would then
be that is the duty of the United States to estab
sh peace before it withdrew its forces That would
mean in turn the indefinite occupation of the island
It seems fairly certain, therefore, that we are to
have Cuban as well Philippine question to
settle at the coming session Of Congress- The
declarations made in favor OF Cuban independence
at the beginning OF the with Spain are to count
for nothing. The imperialists would have us treat
that country the British have treated Egypt and
the great principles upon which our Government is
founded to be sacrificed in the interests of i'm
perialism and territorial aggrandizement.

A Kansas lady now in San Francisco
writes that the people here are preparing
to give the Twentieth Kansas an even
more rousing welcome than has been ex-
tended to any of the returning volunteers.
Il think more fuss will be made over the
Kansas boys than any of the others for
two reasons. The first is because the
regiment mas made a splendid record.
The second is because the people here
look upon General Funston as quite the
heroic feature of the war, and, as he

as one of the family These blessed
