INFAVOR OF EXPANSION
Mr.. N. H. deYoung Of San Francisco Inter
viewed in New York City.
NICARAG UA CANAL A NECESSITY
With 1t We Could Defy Competition For
ever-The Philippines should BE Pro-
tected by "A Tariff System-The
Pacific Coasts Advance.

The New York Journal last week
printed an interview with Mr.. M. Fl.
deYoung, proprietor of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, on the national policy
and current topics Of the present day.
Mr.. deYoung believes in retaining all
of the islands taken from Spain and
urges the building of the Nicaragua
canal. He says
California national politics are, am
sure, in favor of expansion. Our course
in the Philippines is absolutely wise.
The Philippines are our pest acquisition
They produce indigo, coffee, tobacco,
rice, sugar-an enormous revenue. We
ought to develop for ourselves the full
est trade with the natives. We have
sacrificed noble lives for the Philippines.
We have spent $50, 900 600 to buy them
and other millions to subdue them. We
ought to include them within our tariff
wall.
The open door is in favor of Europe,
and we are under no obligations to Eu-
rope. 1t is an idea of England We
must not be allies of England III any
thing save courtesy. There is a busi-
ness rivalry between us and we must
take our advantages. They are numer-
ous. One essential quality of our manu-
| factories is that they surpass those OF
all other countries. We have the genius
of invention and the knowledge Of ma
chinery Our workingmen are more
learned than all others.
''One American workingman is worth
two Englishmen, four Frenchmen, eight
South Africans. We pay higher wages
than any other country and still are
able to undersell any other country.
The trend of business in this coun
try is from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean. We shall civilize and trade will
the 400 600, 600 in China and the Pacific
Coast will have the most of it.
I'VE must, as the journal insists
build the Nicaragua canal. 1t vii
divert the trade Of the East from Eng
only twenty-one days for vessel sail
ing ten knots an hour to reach Sal
Francisco from New York through tn,
Nicaragua canal. while it now take
eighteen days by railway for heav,
freight. The charges by water woulC
be eight times cheaper than by laad
l nat Is why nlOnOpOllStS oppose I'M
Nicaragua canal. With it we coulC
defy competition forever.
Il am in favor Of retaining not onl,
Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines anC
Porto Rico but Cuba. l don't know
why we should force independence upoi
Cuba. 1t would not appreciate indie
pendence; it would not know how tc
make use of it; it would be the prey o.
intrigue.
There is one thing that | have a,
heart. California is at the height Of it,
prosperity. 1t never had crop a.
abundant; its fruit was never so plen
tiful and so luscious. All the values il
California have risen amazingly. Prop
erty there was never worth as much as
it is now. | can talk to you Of thai

I had to lay down beside the fire to
keep from getting hit. We live well

The enemy have Mauser rifles that

Don't let anybody persuade you to
come to this country, JACK, without
you have money enough to get back
on. The mosquitoes will eat a fellow
up at night, and You will roast up to a
cinder during the day. We have had
pretty nice weather during the war, sc

The Copper Combine.

Concerning the recent copper combine
in which Montana is so vitally inter
ested, Senator Z. H. Carter in Butte last
week expressed himself as follows:
The recent interview with Mr.. Mar
Gus DAILY in regard to the consolidation
Of copper interests is worthy of the most
serious consideration by the people of
Butte. Since my arrival in Montana
nearly twenty years ago-the constant
demand has been for adequate capital
to properly develop the latent interests

Arbor Day in PhiIipsburg.

Arbor day was observed at the Phil
ipsburg public school by appropriate
exercises. Tuesday morning, the plant
ing of trees forming the most import
ant part. About forty trees We're set
out in the school house grounds which,
if properly watered. will in few years
add greatly to the attractiveness of the
surroundings. Each grade planted a
tree, as did each member of the gradu-
ating class Masters Ed Ballard, Fred
Baxter and Tom Morton). Each of
the teachers also planted tree, max
ing total Of forty in all. Uncle Sam,
Lincoln, Dewey, Hobson, Col. Rose
velt. Bryan, North Star, Wisdom, and
others too numerous to mention, are
names given the trees planted. Upon
the request of the state superintendent
vote was taken on state tree, which
resulted in 200 votes being cast for the
fir, the remainder being scattered
among dozen other species. The
vote of the primary class was cast
unanimously in favor Of the Christmas
tree. The grounds in front of the
school house have been seeded with
lawn grass, and with some care the
Philipsburg school will have the most
attractive surroundings Of any public
institution in the state.

Manager Martin, of the Pierson drug

great run on Chamberlaln's Cough
Remedy He sells five bottles or that
medicine to one of any other kind, and
it gives great satisfaction. In these
days of la grippe there is nothing like
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to stop
the cough, heal up the sore throat and

Thieving has begun with a boldness
that is remarkable considering the
presence of the police and military. 4

clubs, the Regina and the Dawson,
composed OF leading men-bankers,
merchants and officials. The Elks or
ganiZed TO give benefit for the pur-
pose of defraying sick and funeral ex-
penses of needy brothers, at which all
the leading talent, amateur and profess

ternal organizations, including the
MasOns, Odd Fellows, Knights of
Pythias, Elks, Woodmen, Red Men and
United Workmen, have combined to or
ganize a social club and erect a fra
ternity temple. A benefit performance
is soon TO be given for that purpose.
Capt Jack Crawford the poet scout,
has organized a series of Sunday even
ing entertainments of high class which
men of family may patrOnize, and they
have become extremely popular at the
popular price" of $3.50 per ticket.
Capt. Jack, though at the head of a
large mining concern, finds ample time
to devote to the cultivation of better
social atmosphere, and thus gradually
the saloon is passing away as the chief
factor in Dawson's social existence. A
skating rink has been opened on the
flats back of town, the rink having
been flooded by the fire department.
Three hundred pairs of ice skates are
the attraction. Admission, 81 a head,
including skates.
Ben Davis, a San Francisco society
young man, is another prominent fac
tor in the evolution Of Dawson's social
life. He is inimitable as an amateur
entertainer, and has made himself the
most popular man in town by his en-
gaging manners and his art Of enter
tanning Davis will be remembered by
L
the Concordia Club and of the San

Emile Sutro, son of San Francisco's
eX-Mayor, is also winning hosts of

MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES,
Town Election Results.
CoIratn, Orange and AthoI Come into
the Liquor License Column.

CoIrstn, Orange and AthoI Come into
the Liquor License Column.
Elections were held Monday in many of
the Massachusetts, towns. OF those in the
western part of the state Buckland and
Belchertown, which have had saloons the
past year, voted no license. Deerield
went for licente as usual by a large major
ity, aud Colrain, Orange and Athol voted
to have open saloons the coming year. No
license carried the upper precinct in Athol
by one vote, but the majority of 1853 for IL
cense in the lowerprecinct was unexpected
and overwhelmed the temperance people.
There was a radical change in town Off
GERS the former town clerk being defeated
aud changes being made in other offices.
TIE vote for the six candidates for select
men was: Hunt 1907, Hapgood $685. Has
kell $50, Wells 426, Mellen 423, Cotton 4O6.
The new municipal club, an organization
of Roman Catholic voters, tried their
strength for the first time. They elected
their candidate for constable and rolled up
an unexpectedly large vote for Wells, their
cho ce for seectman. There was no town
meeting, the vote being by precincts. The
vote was one of the largest for years, be-
ing 81 at the upper precinct and 1873 at
the lower. The total registration was less
than 1900
At Orange the license vote swung from
1870 against license last year to SO in its IA
vor this year. and the old board of select
men were victorious again. The opposi-
ton to Messrs. Fowler and Herrick faded
away before the public sentiment of the
voters The $15, 900 asked for by the
school committee for an addition to the
High school building was given cheerfully.
Following was the result at Bernardston:

SUI More Coun,erf.i,inr.

The Secret Service has just unearthed another
band OF counterfeiters IN a suburb of New York
city, and secured large quantity of bogus S.
bills, which are so cleverly executed that the
average person would never suspect them Of be-
ing spurious. Things of great value are always
selected by counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated Hostetters Stomach Bitters
which has many imitators but no equals for COM
mon disorders like fever, ague, malaria, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, constipation, nervousness and
general debility. The Bitters set things right in
the stomach, and when the stomach is in good
working order 1t makes good blood and plenty of
It. In this manner the Bitters get at the seat of
strength and vitality, and restore vigor to the
weak and debilitated. Beware Of counterfeits
when buying. Always go TO reliable druggists
who have the reputation of giving what you ask
