think that annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands was better for the United States
than for the islands. The islands gain
nothing by annexation which they did
not get under the reciprocity laws, and
they lose 4 great many favorable laws
and take on American laws that are
hardship. The high tariff laws, for in
stance. Before annexation we never had
q tariff law that was over 10 per cent.
But the people are enthusiastic over an
neXation and the act has given great
boom to new industries. l don't know
whether Hawaii is Republican or Demo
cratic. You cannot tell by the election
just past. They sent an Independent
representative to Congress. The natives
haven't indicated which party they will
affiliate with. The Republican vote was
heavier than the Democratic, but that
was among the Americans. If the ma
tives come to one of the national parties
they may disturb that balance.
Alonzo G. True of Sitka, Alaska-It
seems to me the gateway to the north
pole is through Alaska. When the region
of the Klondike becomes thoroughly OPP
ened up explorers will have far north
ern base of supplies. 1t would be an easy
matter to winter at some mining camp on
the Yukon and start with the early spring
for the trip north. 1t would be overland
travel to Point Barrow, or the mouth of
the Mackenzie river, and when the sea
was reached the explorer would be many
miles within the arctic circle. Point Bar
row is in about the same latitude as Baf-
fin bay on the east, and the explorer
would have the advantage of being able
80 travel north from there in a straight
line, instead of having to thread the tor
tuous and ice-choked channels of the
eastern passage.
Alfred c. Harmsworth, Editor of the
London Mail-There is as great a differ
ence between English and American pa
pers as there is between the two peo-
pies An Englishman would find moth
ing interesting in one of your papers, lust
as an American would find but little in
an English paper. If | secured the ser
vices of an American reporter l would
keep him six months before he would be
able to do the work. He would not know
what we considered the news. Another
thing, l do not believe that the present
big headlines will be used in the future
l tried them over in London
for three days and gave them up. They
were not wanted.
Samuel Nandersal of Helena-Utah
has had $500 cattle brands recorded
since the last Legislature wiped out the
10000 brands that We're in existence two
years ago. The books were loaded down
with dead brands and it was almost i'm
possible 10 get new ones-so the Legisla-
ture wisely decided TO begin all over
again. Montana now has $1,000 brands.
with yearly addition Of $50; Idaho has
5000 brands, Nevada 10000, eastern
Oregon about 5000, ArizonaHSOOQ. New
Mexico 5000, Colorado 1890. North Ind
South Dakota 10000 together. while
Texas has 10000. Brands multiply as
the number of small herds or punches of
cattle increase. and these latter increase
as the population does.
Prof. Walter A Wyckoff Of Princeton
L niversity-The present state of society
is artificial. Still. think. we are deveI-
oping toward i form of social solidarity.
In my opinion. the institution OF private
which IS at the center of all
life and moral ideas. will IN
dergo many changes and notifications
during the present century. l also think
that the wage earners viii be the owners.
