ia tins closing year OF a century whose
progress has been the most remarkable in
human history that which hopes to survive
must stand upon its merits. America has
entered this new period of time with au
irresistible momentum. And he who can
not read that the nations destiny is not
pent up in the isolation of a single contf-
nent is indeed obtuse.
There is no better aid to the comprehea-
sion of the vast possibilities confronting MS
than a map of the world spread cut for
careful inspection. That chart to an intel j.
gent mind presents situation with two al
te1natives-expansion or isolation, growth
CT stagnation, progress or contraction in
this age it is impossible TO remain station
airy. Nations must advance or reeede.
They must rule or submit They ma

superior forces, retrogressive movement
that means annihilation if it signifies apv-
thing.
Never was there an epoch in world his
tory so momentous as that of today. The
crucial test is the survival of the fttest.
Utility sits in the court where judgment is
TO be rendered according to the weli-de-
fined and universal laws of evolution. The
trial is that of nations instead OF indi-
viduals. The verdict will be as inescapable
as death.
From the map alone those who are other
than superficial may read the mission of
America. The divinity that shapes the ends
of nations as of men has given the U.ited
States a position which, in relation TO the
rest of the world, makes leadership inevi-
table. provided the people, whose dominion
it is, declares for strength and repudiates
yaciIlatiug weakness. Nature has showered
her bounties upon America with a lavish
hand. Not only in the riches of the earth
and the variety of climate, but in an IN
matched system of natural waterways is
this evidenced Enterprise has become a
habit, and in. the past ready appreciati, n
of advantages has enabled us to keep veil
forward in the front ranks OF progress
By a war for humanity, the irresistible
spirit of the age has pressed the nation
onward to another stage of that evolution
which is working toward the highest civ
ilization. 1t has broadened the American
horizon and proffered an opportunity for
the extension of human liberty.

(From the PhlIadeIphIa Ledger.]
There IS no reason at all why our Government
should not now make treaty of commerce with
that of Spain, and thereby resume peaceful re-
Iations In fact, the old commercial relations
have been gradually reinstating themselves for
the past year. and they may well be made
official. 1t is eminently proper, also, that Span
ish trade should receive special privileges in the
Philippines for period sufficient to enable
the merchants now doing business there TO pre-
pare for and arrange their business in accord
ance with the new order Of things, well as
to enable the people to become accustomed to
American ways and learn the value Of American
goods; besides which, it is only courtesy, in
dispossessing a tenant who has been in occu-
pancy for many years to allow reasonable
time for removal.

Go~,y TO bed in India is a very different process
from going to bed at home. To begin with, it is
a far less formal process. There is no shutting
the door, no cutting yourself off from the outer
world, no going upstairs. and finally no getting
into bed. You merely lie down on your bed
which, with its bedding. is SO simple as to be
worth describing. The bed is a wooden frame
with webbing laced across it. and each bed has
thin cotton mattress. Over this one sheet is
spread, and two pillows go to each bed That's
all
