not pledged itself to refuse annexation,
if the Cubans ask for it.
AS annexation means the introduce
tron of Cuban products. especially
sugar and tobacco, into the States, free
of duty, the annexation movement will
be popular one in Cuba, and the mos
ignorant part of the population Will
gradually favor it.
Several years viii pass before this
movement takes an effective shape
When it does, the question will be be-
fore the American people, whether it
will annex territory, whose products
will compete with those of the several
States. The strategic and commercial
value Of Cuba is admitted But. are
these advantages offset by the disad-
vantages of competition? The Ameri-
can farmers of the Mainland will in
sist on protection So also the Amer
lean farmers who settle in Cuba will
demand equal protection"
While the Democratic party favors
free trade, it opposes the policy of an
neXatiOn, which is virtually a policy
which protects home industries. The
Republican party favors protection and
opposes free trade, but it can hardly
escape from the effect of expansion,
which is substantially free trade with
the people of its own territories or
colonies.
The conservative East is opposed to
movements which raise these perpleX-
| ing questions. The radical West is
| in favor of the expansive movements,
though these movements raise perpleX-
| ing problems. The West is therefore
| logically driving for free trade. This
| is just what the British statesmen de-
clared would be the effect OF expan-

Here at once arise the mOralistS who
declare that the regulation of vice of
any kind is an admission of it's right
to exist But the world is gradually
coming to the conclusion that abstract
right is a poor weapon, but an excel
lent maxim. John Morley in one of
his thoughtful essays says, the British
nation declares for the right, but sus-
ponds the right if it interferes with
reaching a definite and temporary
good.
Compromise is the condition of sue
cess in worldly affairs. Government
is itself a compromise. Abstract JUS
tice is not common. 1t is the ideal
towards which all things slowly move
Those who are sensitive about com
promising with evil will recall the fac
that the Lord compromised with
Solomon, and permitted him to have

FACE THE DIFFICULTY.

The crowded condition OF the harbor
recalls TO the old kamaainas the days
when the whale ships to the number
on several occasions of $50 laid 50 near
to each other than one could walk
across the harbor by stepping from
one vessel to another. Sailors to the
number of 5000 at times filled the
streets and temporary brothels were
erected on the stretches of vacant land
from the rear of the exQueen's resi-
dence to the foot of Punchbowl, and
a large number of native houses, if not
the majority of them were given up to
infamy. The saloons were many and
Honolulu was one of the vilest sea-
ports of the world. With the gradual
withdrawal of the whaling fleet the
conditions improved in a measure. But
commerce had left it's trail in poison
and death over the native race.
Expansion is now to repeat the I'M
savory, demoralizing conditions which
prevailed during the visits of the whal-
ing fleet. Only a study Of the sea-
ports of the world will enable one to
realize the undue and disproportionate
growth of the social evils, which COM
merce creates in them There will be
in the future a steady increase of
demoralizing conditions, and the laws
cannot prevent it here, as they can
not, and do not prevent it elsewhere.
Honolulu is a Federal port, and it's
into the hands of men who will not be
governed by any missionary" tradi-
tions. Commerce will dominate. The
army and the navy will soon bring

place. The enlisted men will not be

1t would be a great benefit to the

Among the ''heroes of the Maine''
was one ':Bill'' Anthony. He was the
man who, with the usual salute, calm
ly notified Captain Sigsbee that the
+ ship was blown up and sinking. His
"valor" then commanded the admira-
tion Of the world. He resigned his
commission, preferring private life.
that he might be with his wife and
child. Then he sought employment,
which he was denied. His family was
starving and he could not help. In
despair and desperation he committed
suicide. Then the very men who de-
MED him the right to work ''gave IL
berally for first class funeral" AS
the poet has said: 'Seven Grecian
cities strove for Homer dead, through
which the living Homer begged his
bread" That was and is a hero's re-
ward. In this connection, it is not i'm
pertinent to ask: What has been done
or will be done for our "heroes" right
here in Minnesota; who were so roy
ally "welcomed' home only a few

Most Costly New Testament.

The poorest can now buy the New
Testament in English for a nickel, and
yet-strange contrast!-perhaps the
most sumptuous copy of the New Tes-
lament in existence is that splendid
edition de luxe, presented to the dow
ager Empress Of China on the Occa-
sion Of her sixtieth birthday, the
presentation having been made in due
form by the British and American
ministers. The book is a royal quartO
volume, 2x10x1S inches in size, and
was manufactured by the Presbyteri-
an Press and Canton silversmiths. It
has silver covers, embossed with bam-
boo and bird designs, and is printed
on the finest paper with the largest
type, and with border of gold en-
circling each page, 1t was ihcased in
a solid silver casket, ornamented with
symbolical designs, the whole weigh
ing ten and half pounds, and upon
the cover of the casket there is a gold
plate which relates that the book is
the gift Of the christian women in
China.
Not long after the presentation. of
this magnificent volume, the eunuchs
were sent from the palace to the book
store to ask for a common copy, so
that the Empress and her ladies might
compare the two texts. Surely the cir
culation of such a book is one of the
wonders Of the world! "Age cannot
wither, nor custum stale, it's infinite
variety."-Dr. John Fox n Leslie's

Secretary Of State Chamberlain now
wants a triple alliance between Great
Britain, the United States and Ger
many, so that each can stand by the
other in combating liberty in smaller
nationalities. He is not particular as
to whether it is called an "alliance or
an understanding" as 'it would come
to the same thing" Ambassador
Choate used almost the same words at
Thanksgiving dinner of Americans
in London. In 1915 there was "holy
alliance of more than three "great
powers to suppress freedom in Eu-
rope; but it eventually fell to pieces
before the forces of progress. Any
alliance between the parties Of i'm
perialism in England, Germany and the
United States will meet with the same
fate.
