LONESOME NEW CABLE COLONY
on A BARREN MIDGET or A SAND
ISLET- IN THE PACIFIC.

Hawaii and Guam 90 Ne on . Midway
Island Whero There IA Now No llfe
hut the Sea Birds and the Sea WINDS.
When the late John W. Mackay conceived
the idea OF laying an all-American cable
between the United States and the Philip
pine Islands, he didn't know that he would
have TO colonize an island In the Pacific
to complete the job. Such is the case,
however, and here Is the story.
Mr.. Mackay proposed to the United States
Government to lay what should he known
as an all-American cable between San
Francisco and Manila, with cable stations
at Honolulu and Guam. His company
got the concession.
When the surveys were made, IT was
found that IL would be too expensive and
pretty hazardous TO lay the cable from
Honolulu clear through to Guam without
q midway station. There were plenty OF
islands between the Hawaiian group and
Guam, owned by various foreign Govern
ments, any one OF which would have been
only too glad TO give the cable company
the necessary concession TO land the cable
and erect cable station.
The handiest Of all the islands between
Honolulu and Guam would have been the
Marshsll Islands. owned by Germany.
The German Emperor was not only quite
willing to let the company appropriate any
one Of those islands for cable station. but
let IL be known 10 the company that II would
be a very nice thing all around II one Of the
islands was taken.
President Roosevelt would not tolerate
the idea Of the cable touching any land be-
"A Manila Athor than
land owned by the United States and so an
American island had TO be found. The
only other land in that particular part OF
the world owned by our Government was
the Midway Islands. These islands, were
they on q straight limo between Honolulu
and Guam, would be about equidtstant
between the two. Tho islands are, however.
considerably to the north Of both Honolulu
/ and Guam. They we're the only available
| territory, though. and 80 the cable station
had to be put on one OF those islands.
Probably not many persons in these parts
know very much about the Midway Islands.
| Tho name is rather pretentious, but as
matter Of fact the group consists OF Just
two small islands. and both are about ~
barren as the Desert Of Cobb. One OF the
islands is called Green Island. because as
many as four skimpy. sickly-looking shrubs
are 10 be found growing on one Of the sand
dunes. The other island is Sand Island
| and its name doesn't belle Il. So far as
ANYBODY has ever discovered, not a living
thing ever allowed itself TO grow there
That ia the piece OF land which has been
selected for the cable station. Sand lslnnd
was selected rather than Green Island
because the shore approaches were better.

GRAFTON to generation, as methods OF
achieving good government change in
civic affairs; but the fundamental
qualities which make for good citizen
ship do not change any more than the
fundamental qualities which make
good soldiers. In the long run in the
civil war the thing counted for more
than augbt else was the fact that the
average American had the fighting
edge; had within him tho spirit which
spurred him on through toll and dan
ger. fatigue and hardship, to the goal
of the splendid ultimate triumph. So
In achieving good government the
fundamental factor must be the char
acter OF the average citizen; that Az
erage citizens power OF hatred for
what Ii mean and base and unlovely;
his fearless scorn OF cowardice and his
determination to war unyieldingly
against the dark and sordid forces Of
evil.
The continental troops who followed
| Washington we're clad In blue and buff,
and were armed with clumsy, flintloclf

wore the famous old blue uniform,
and your weapons had changed as
had your uniform; and now the men
OF the American army who uphold the
honor Of the flag In the far tropic
lands are yet differently armed and
differently clad and differently trained;
but the spirit that has driven YOU all
TO victory has remained forever un
changed. so 1t Is In civil life. As you

type Of character now that was need

citizenship and to good public service
now are In all their essentials exactly
the same as In the days when the
first congresses met to provide for
the establishment Of the union; as In
the days. seventy years later. when
the congresses met which had to pro

There are many qualities which we

three for the lack of which no brill

those three are courage, honesty and
