the cork out. He said: If j live to get

straight from Providence. John is very

IMPERIALISM IS COSTLY.
''Thc Necessity of Continuing Large
Outiays" VIII lie Contin-
ucd Indefinitely.

1t is generally admitted. the news
reports tell us, that no general river
and harbor or public buildings bill will
be passed by the congress now in ses-
sion. I'm view of the heavy expendi-
lures for the army and navy" it is
stated, land the necessity for continus
ing large outlays indefinitely, the re.
publican leaders do not feel justified in
favoring internal expenditures that
cen be deferred"
This announcement is significantly
typical of the course TO he followed by
the imperialist congress prepared to-
ratify the presidents policy of militant
expansion in the eastern hemisphere.
1t is logical beginning for Imperialism.
Ii may safely be taken for granted that,
the necessity for continuing large OUT
lays indefinitely" for the strengthening
of the army and navy will exist coinci-
dent and equal in duration to American
imperialism itself. The two evils-im-
perialsm and militarism-ca be
separated-the former creates the lat-
ter, from which in turn it receives the
imperatively necessary support of the
strong hand.
Under these new conditions. what is
so natural as that republican leaders
do not feel justified in fayoring internal
expenditures" Basing their demand
for the large outlay for army and navy
increase that must be continued in
definitely upon the national revenues
as at present in force, it is seen that for
the increased military expenditure there
must be corresponding decrease of
expenses in some other direction The
retrenchment will be made in internal
affairs-just as is the case with the
great powers of Europe, where every
thing is subordinated to the necessity of
maintaining big armies.
1t will be well for the people to un-
derstand why there will be no appro-
priations for river and harbor improve
ments, for the erection and mainte-
nance of public buildings and for other
internal betterments by the present
congress. IL we are resolved upon be-
coming world power, we must pay the
price of such power-pay it in money
and in American blood and in the arr
rested development of our country's
Legitimate growth within it's own con-
tinental limits. This necessity is as in
evitable under an imperialist policy as
that darkness shall follow daylight.
The price of imperialism VIII be high,
and the terms will be both ''your money
and your life Are the American peo-
pie willing to pay imperialism's price
and accept imperialisn's terms?-St.
Louis Republic.

the store say is very good" replied the
young woman. 1t is called 'Virgie's
Betrothal; or, the Stranger at Birch
wood Manor. It's by 1mogene Sybil
Beauclerc."
IF it's what il sounds TO be it's just
what | want, said Mr.. Payson. showing
his teeth at the young woman with a
devilish glee. You say the girls here
in the store ike it?''
''les: Miss simmons, in the hand
kerchief-box department, says it's just
grand"
"All right. I'll take it,"
lie felt his happiness rising as he
went out of the store. His joy shone in
his face as he stood at the skate coun-
ter.
Il have brother who is 46 years old
and rather fat" he said to the sales
man. Il don't suppose he's been on
the ice in 25 years. He wears a No. 8
shoe. Give me pair of skates for him."
A few minutes later he stood at the
silk counter.
What are those things?" he asked,
pointing to some gayly colored silks
folded in boxes.
Those are scarfs.''
We'll, if you've got one that has all
the colors of the rainbow in it I'll take
it. ! want one with lots of yellow and
red and green in it. | want something
that you can hear across the street.
You see, have a sister who prides her
self on her quiet taste. Her costumes
are marked by what you call 'unobtru-
siye elegance Well, / think she'd die
rather than wear one of those things,
so 1 want the biggest and noisiest one
in the whole lott
The girl didn't know what to make
of Mr.. Payson's strange remarks, but
she was too busy TO be kept wondering.
Mr.. Payson's sisters husband is the
president of a church temperance So
ciety, so Mr.. Pay son bought him buck
horn corkscrew.
There was one more present 10 buy.
"Let me see" said Mr.. Payson. ''What
is there that could be of no earthly use
to girl six years old?"
Even as he spoke his eye fell on a
sign: Bargain sale of neckwear."
Il don't believe she would care for
cravats." he said. Il think I'll buy some
for her"
He saw box of large cravats marked
''25 cents each" sea
"Why are these so cheapa" he asked.
