! pacfty of the nation see only a move for
! the betterment of the world and incidentally
| an enlargement of American opportunities.
| The fact must be admitted by even the
most ardent opponents of the policy of ra-
tional expansion that Washington's days
are not these days: that the conditions I'M
der which he gave his sage advice, that the
country be kept in an isolated position,
have radically changed. Isolation is today
| impossible. No nation calling itself fac
tor for civilization can withdraw into its
own shell and deal only with itself The
world is undergoing transition which in
evitabiy forces a change of continental dis
positions.
around the world. Travel educates Ameri-
can citizens to the opportunities for in
vestment. Cosmopolitanism has become
common. The telegraph and the printing
press have combined to break barriers and
to bring the nations close together. Educa-
ton is making monarchs of individuals, and
the day is at hand when the judgment of
the humble citizen is worthy of considera-
ton along with that of the most profound
statesman. Isolation under such circum-
stances Is folly. Conditions demand a con-
tact between the worlds units. In the fric-
ton which necessarily ensues the United
States stands in best position of all to serve
as lubricant. But it must make cations
with the powers, must participate in world
affairs, and guarding its enormous trade
interests, it must have such outposts as for
tune has recently sent to it.
The United States will remain a peace
factor, as NJ. Goblet hopes, as long as it is
held to the ideal of craftsmanship which
sees benefit and not burden in such new
responsibilities as have recently come to
the republic. With interests of its own in
the far east to protect, it's voice in asking
fer a peaceful guardianship over China will
have strength and effect. Without such
interests it could not properly raise voice
OF protest against the maEeuverings of the
European powers which must If unchecked
sooner or later cause a disaster.
The United States is not acting in this
Chinese enterprise as the tool or ally or
pupil of England. The interests of the two
countries coincide. Both are large con-
directly interested in the maintenance of
the open door of trade. They are trade
rivals, however, and will continue to be as
long as there are goods to sell and people
to buy them. In the proportion that the
commercial prestige of the United States is
extended and maintained in those frontiers

A Tip for Senator HOar,

rom the Kansas City Star.
1t Is not right that one mistake shall be
allowed to discredit and neutralize gen.
eral line of conduct in the right direction;
neither can it be expected that even a long
record of good deeds and proper behavior
Will excuse al the end persistence in error
This observation is respectfully submitted
to Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts, who
after years of patriotic service to his coun-
try, now insists on hauling down the Amer
lean flag where it has undoubted right
to wave.

Would make us moderns smile
The warrior took his battle-ax,

And met the foeman hand to hand,
With each an equal chance

And mingle in the fight.

Advertising Always Necessary.

The best time to advertise is when it is
desirable to draw profits from a business
venture. Since the enjoyment of profits is
the permanent object of financial invest

necessary. All successful merchants have
found this to be true

The use of pasty cereals is not advisa-

Of the intestines and nerves.
Cereals, such as wheat and oats, can
be cooked long enough and well enough
to fiji them for human use, but the ofol-

A gentleman from Evansville. Ind,

MIR. Smith and Response by
MIR. Clarke.

Rev George w. Clarke, who last Sun
day morning resigned the pastorate of the
Barton Heights Baptist Church, VIII leave
for his home in Bedford county within
few days.
During his ministry here, which has ex-
tended over a period Of two years, Mr..
Clarke has, by his most faithful and
earnest work, not alone endeared himself
to the members OF his own congregation,
but to the citizens OF Barton Heights and
vicinity generally.
a PRESENTATION.
Last night, at the residence of Mr.. w. l..
Anory, on North Avenue, there was a
large gathering Of Mr.. Clarke's friends,
members Of his late congregation and
others, who desired In some special form
to emphasize the feeling of esteem and
respect in which they hold him; and. on
their behalf, Mr.. Robert Lee Smith, in a
brief address expressing the sincere sor-
row and regret at Mr.. Ciarke's departure,
and the warm affection with which ha will
always bs remembered, presented him, as
a slight token OF the esteem of his many
friends and admirers in Barton Heights.
with a purse containing $50 in gold.
THE RESPONSE.
Mr.. Clarka responded tenderly and affec-
tionately. He referred to the pleasure
which he would always experience in re-
memberng many cherished friendships
formed by him during his passionate of the
Barton Heights Church, and, while 1t was
with no inconsderabe sorrow no felt i'm
PEELED to saver his connection with the
congregation, it was his earnest prayer
that it might continue to grow in men,
bers and In grace.
1t may be OF interest to mention that
during Mr. Clarkes pastorate of two years
tho membership of Barton Heights Bap-
tiSt Church has increased from 70 to 12t
largely due to his earnest and consecrated
efforts; to which. likewise, may be attri-
buted the fact that the church is now on
firm financial basis. having nqudated
the greater part of its debt during the
past eighteen months.
