We are glad to see that the Attorney
Generals Department is taking SEN
sible view of the blue laws and that,
in Mr.. Dole's opinion, no useful purpose
can be subserved by closing soda water,
mineral water, ice cream and cigar
stores and eating houses on the first
day of the week. AS the Advertiser
has repeatedly pointed out, the sale
of such commodities in no way inter-
feres with the Sunday peace and is a
question closely allied to the comfort
of our citizens. So far as disturbance
goes the fzz of the soda water bottle is
much to be preferred to the barbarous
clangor of church bells and the grind
and rattle of overladen trans carrying
people to Sunday picnics.

straight to the mind and conscience OF

Of sugar. The grocery stores and poor

At the Fourth OF July dinner OF the
American Society in London Mr.. De-

This will give US superior facilities
for imitation. and II we industriously
rub garments and jostle elbows who

the gilt of royalty may rub on.
We are not more surprised at De-
pew than at Roosevelt who calls our
military operations In China IAN OBJ

Expansion simply means that peace
must be brought about. In the worlds
waste places 1t means that peace can
not be had until civilized nations have
expanded"
Here is the old imperial cry of mill
tary force. In order to expand we
must conquer other races by cannon
and bloodshed. In the dlsmemberment
of the Chinese quarry we shall prob
ably grab leg or something and hang
on with the rest. This is Expansion"

1t would have been a laudable thing
to have saved our legation and our

on which this election turns. We should
have President devoted to the repub-

We should have a President who has
pledged himself to what we at tho
