Words Of Wisdom.

Now that the President is really in
California how silent have the Demo
cratic papers become.
One would wish that it might be
ascribed to courtesy to guest yet he
must needs believe it is nothing but the
cowardice of prevaricators that keeps
them quiet. With servile fiattery they
would seek to gain long interviews
with President Mckinley.
A few weeks ago almost every Demo
cratic paper in the land was berating
our chief executive about some thing.
If it was not about Cuban government
it was the unnecessary slaughter of the
Philippines, ETC., ad infinitum.
How much better it would be for our
people if all the newspapers, no matter
what their political faith, would pub
lish simply the actual facts concerning
such things instead of trying to be-
smirch the character of the man whom
the people have made the incumbent of
the highest Office in the land.
He cannot make or unmake laws.
He is the servant of the people; being
we'll paid because his duties are such
that not every one could discharge
them.
But it has ever been that "He who
climbs the heights must stand alone
and look down on the hate of those
below"
There are other things nearer home
that might better occupy the minds Of
the people. For instance the Chinese
and Japanese labor which takes away
so much work from our girls and boys.
Why not expend their energies in an
effort to COLOMBO the Philippine Islands
with the Chinese from California.
Cinnamon can stand, or rather with
stand, the climatic conditions there;
they are industrious, frugal; good gar
deners and would make veritable
garden of Eden OF the Islands. Then
perhaps, our girls would learn to cook
and do nice ironing. Our young men
would be able to find more easily,
sensible young women who could and
would be able to keep house and save a
little on an average income. Our
young men would establish modest
homes of their own and the moral
standing of very many communities
would be raised several degrees.
In the homes of our Nation lies the
only surety of its stability; then let us
look to home conditions and seek for
betterment of each lowly home, and we
will find plenty to do and reap reward
in added happiness for ourselves and all
whom we may chance to meet.
AMADORIAN.
