The lot of the inferior and unprogres-
sIvp races is hard, but there is no way
of protecting them against the march
Of civilization except when strong
movers differ as to the disposition Of
the land occupied by them. For in
stance. we can keep European poHti-
cal systems out Of South America, but
we cannOt-or at any rate we have
not tried to-keep Europeans from set
fling in South American countries.
And if large numbers of Germans and
Enclishmen were to make their homes
IN Venezuela, for example, the coun-
try would become German and Eng
lish. even though there were not a
German or English soldier within the
country. 1t will be so in Manchuria.
The land will be conquered without
the help of soldiers and no power or
combination of powers can prevent it.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1903-06-18

In this day of common motive and
combined activity the individual seems
to be at discount, comparatively in
significant beside the great purpose
and progression of which he Is part
He is mere bit Of machinery rather
than a complete, individual engine.
Apart, by himself, he Is of small mo-
ment; it is only his strength as unit
in the collective whole that counts. To
be an effective factor he must sink
individuality. The whole training Of
the persent day Is toward self-repres-
sion, and this is as it should be. 1t Is
somewhat anomalous that self-repres-
sion makes for character, 1t does, just
as self-denial makes for power just
as mute, unquestioning service makes
for generalship, ability to direct. Thus,
instead of cheapening manhood the
present day business life gives it CO.
ordination. fiber and tone. 1t is a re-
filming yet strengthening process.
1t is a more even yet a more potent
and effective life that we lead these
DAYS. 1t is concerted effort and COM
mon. enterprise, gradual, sure, continu-
ous as against a riotous individuality
Of former times, sporadic, full of mis-
takes, uncertain. 1t is the difference
between trained energy and misdrec.'
Hon, concentration and waste. Finely
tempered and powerful individuality
brings success to-day no less than for
merly. Perhaps the road Is little
longer now, but achievements are
more substantial and enduring. On
the whole, there is no good reason for
the man Of to-day to despair because
he is ground down." If he has the
intrinsic merit, the grinding will de-
velop it. If he lacks it, he is perhaps
even better off as a factor in the big
machinery than he would be in indie
pendent action.

WORE RINGS ON HER Toes.

All London is still talking of the
fashionable dress ball given by the
Duchess of Devonshire. There were
many startling costumes, but the Prin-
cess Hatsfeldt. an American woman,
the adopted daughter of the late Coils
p. Huntington, eclipsed all the others
She impersonated Queen Esther. Her
own was a wonderful oriental creation
bedecked with precious stones. Her
headdress alone contained enough
stones TO set off a crown, but most
marvellous of all were her sandals.
They were made so that the toes were
free and on each toe was an enormous
ring blazing with diamonds. 1t is said
that her costume cost over 100000.
