There are few Of the old landmarks left,
and they are fast becoming indisti"~
Democracy and as little government as
possible. which. according to Jefferson,
was the great desideratum. is sadly out
of tune with the prevailing notions of
the Chicago platform organization,
drifting steadily as the latter is toward
Populism and paternalism. And this
modern Democratic cry against the ex-
tension OF our domain, our trade and
our influence is hardly in keeping with
the professions and practices of the
great founder who thought seriously of
America by annexing Florida, Mexico
and Cuba, and actually did remove the
national emblem of France by a mag
nifcent purchase without the consent
OF congress or the people.
It is meet that the Democrats should
talk OF Jefferson If 1t is only to show
how far they have drifted from what
Jefferson believed in and how slight
the resemblance is between modern
Organism and Democracy one hundred
years ago. The time may come when
an exchange of opinions upon the life
and teachings of the great Democrat
may result in an awakening, and the
partys misguided mentors may be
brought to realizing sense of the fact
that they are foundering hopelessly far
from the track which Jefferson pointed
lowed.

Keep At Work.

The passage by the senate of bill
for constructing a cable from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu works for rather than
against the plan for a cable from Sc
attic to the Orient. 1t Is the acorn from
which that great oak will grow. The
Hawaiian cable was inevitable. It was
an immediate necessity. With the
adoption of a form of government
for the islands, some speedier communi-
cation with our shores than that by
steamer was demanded. And the trade
OF Honolulu, by the grace of the sugar
trust. Is still so largely with San Fran
cisco that It was certain the southern
route would be chosen.
But let us mark two facts. One of
these is that this is to be government
cable. II is to be built under the direc-
ton of the secretary of the navy. using
United States vessels as far as possible
II Is public and not a private enter
prise. This sets a precedent Other Pa
cific cables win also no doubt be laid
at government expense. Private COM
panies will not determine the route And
on the ground of merit we have nothing
to fear. This is indicated by our sec
ond fact. the statement of Senator Hale,
In these words: at might be deemed
desirable in the light of the experiment.
to start the Philippine cable from some
point like Seattle, and proceed to Japan
by the northern route"
The public mind Is already open. IL IS
practically convinced by the facts IN
the case. We believe that Pacific ca
BILE with it's terminus at Seattle is one
of the assured developments of the flu
ture. Only let us keep up the cam
pagn OF education. Let us lombard
congress with the facts. Let our Cham
Der of Commerce keep urging It. Let
the statistics which show our natural
advantages be spread broadcast over
the country and placed in every news
paper office and in the hand of every
senator and representative. 1t is win
ming cause All that we need to do Is
to keep diligently at work on our part.
Our facts and our arguments are ire
sistible.

thought; that of promoting the interests
OF the party and the city to which they
are Loyalty devoted. They gave express
sion to the feelings Of pride and of as
suranee for the future that fill the
hearts Of all Republicans today. They
pointed out wise and a winning pol
icy in advising all Republican, of this
city TO lay aside whatever personal diff
ferences they may have cherished and
to work unitedly for that place and that
influence in the party councils in this
state TO which King county is entitled
1t was a most suspicious beginning of
an organization which all Republicans
hope may become a power in the party
and the state. If the spirit that pre-
vailed last night and the counsels that
awoke the echoes with applause when
presented by eloquent speakers shall
guide the Republican club and govern
the acts and policies of its members. 1t
