1 and high intelligence OF our people,
aud the marvellous resources of our
| country would enable US, in the
peaceful rivalry of commerce, to
dominate eventually the markets of
| the world. To that end. we had, for
more than a hundred years, held our
| selves aloof from foreign complica-
tions and sought to make ourselves
strong from within, with no thought
of colonial conquest. Meanwhile,
American enterprise and ingenuity
and push may be depended upon TO
develop the resources of the islands,
and make them an added source of
wealth 10 our country. The wise
craftsmanship of the president and
our able secretary of state has already
brought from the countries of Europe
recognition of our right to share in
the vast commercial advantages
which will follow the opening of the
Chinese empire TO foreign trade; the
Nicaraguan canal will be soon con-
structed; Hawaii, with it's valuable
harbor. is ours; we possess the best of
the Samoan islands, with it's magnif-
cent roadway; the Philippines are al
most at the door of China, and if
generation will see the American ma
tion girdling half the globe with its
flag, extending it's foreign commerce
to the uttermOst parts OF the Garth,
and taking it's place among the great
world-nations, a power for good, for
peace, and for righteousness.
Dawn of New Century.
I'VE stand at the dawn of the new
century. Before it shall have reached
its meridian the youngest here will
have passed beyond this life or be-
yond the sphere of usefulness. New
recruits will step into the ranks as
we fall out. This very year thous-
ands of young men will for the first
time exercise the right of citizenship
and cast their ballots at the national
election. The safety of this republic
must ever rest in 'the courage of
young hearts and the vigor OF a noble
manhood Youth is buoyant and
hopeful. No snarling criticism, or
gospel of little America, or prophecy
of despair, will find response from
hearts that beat full and strong with
and with faith, and whose
creed it is that
God : in His heaven.
