ANTI EXPANSION
VIEW OF HAWAII

And now they are disappointed and sore
and full of complaints because the
change has not resulted as they had an
ticipated. If they are chagrined over
the material failure of annexation, have
we in the United States any reason for
thinking that we have profited by the
annexation? That is the other phase of
the question that deserves also to be
considered.
Our answer is that the United States
has gained nothing substantial by the
absorption of Hawaii which was not
ours without absorption. From the Am
ercan point of view, the advantage of
controlling Hawaii lay largely in mill
tary considerations. BY reason of it's
location in the Pacific, the archipelago
presented attractions as naval base,
which, in the hands of another naval
power, might have been inimical to our
interests. But in order to monopolize
those advantages our country did not
need to make Hawaii American terri
tory. Have we not monopolized all the
advantages inherent i'm Cuba as a naval
base without anneXing that island? BY
treaty Cuba has granted to the United
States several harbors for use as naval
or coaling stations, and no European
power can gain a similar foothold there.
The same course could have been pur-
sued with Hawaii, which was already
Independent. In fact, the old Hawaiian
government had long since coded to the
United States the exclusive use Of Pearl
Harbor, the only sheltered water on the
coast of the islands available for such
uses.
The United States government for
many years, moreover, had maintained
substantial protectorate over Hawaii,
as against the possible earth-hunger of
other powers, under a principle not dis
similar to the Monroe doctrine. The
conditions, in short, were fairly COM
plete for settling the Hawaiian ques-
ton on the basis of continued Hawaiian
independence supported by a moral in
fuence emanating from this country
like that which now encompasses Cuba
and makes her as safe from foreign pre-
datory raids as any small state in the
world. The continuation of the reci-
procity policy, which had been in force
for some years between Hawaii and the
United States, was all that was needed
to perpetuate the commercial prosperity
~
Such was the policy which this news
paper advocated in dealing with those
islands even before the Spanish war,
and which six years of unsatisfactory
experience with the annexation policy
has visibly strengthened. In it's main
lines, this was the later Cuban policy.
The Republican craftsmanship in the
Hawaiian case has not been WISE nei-
Their our lot nor that of the Hawaians
has been materially improved. Nor can
it be convincingly urged that the only
error made was in not placing Hawaii
in the same status as Porto Rico and
the Philippines. Both those dependen-
Cies have their grievous commercial
troubles, and it is certain that in max
ing Hawaii a colony outside the consti-
tuition the natural conflict between the
spirit of republic and the spirit of an
empire would simply have been intensi-
fed.-Springfeld Republican.

By having a large tank kept full of
water and another small one connect
ed with it, and the water trough in
front of the cattle, the animals will
always have a continuous supply Of
water. The small tank is so arranged
with float that as the cattle drink
the water in the trough the water in
the small tank is lowered. This
causes the float to fall, opening the
valve and allowing the water to come
in from the large tank. AS the water
rises in the small tank It also r0ses
the float which shuts of the water
from the large tank. The water in
the troughs in front of cattle is there

The water troughs are put in front OF
hangers. and can be arranged SO as to
have lid on hinges at one side of

will drop back OF its own accord.

When everything is ready the leader

laughing by the time the handkerchief
reaches the floor. and If any one does
not stop and the leader catches him

You know that your eye sees objects
upside-down, the head being down
ward, as 1t were, and the impression
being reversed in the brain. This ap-
pears strange. doesn't 1t? But 1t is
not more so than what follows.
Take a soft pencil in your right
hand and write word upon your
forehead; then look in a mirror to see
what you have produced. You know
that when writing is reflected in a
mirror the characters read backward
in the reflection.
If you wonder why your playmates
laugh when they see what you have
written. look at yourself in the mirror.
You will find the word reflected SO
that the letters are produced toward
the right, when they should read to
the left, so it will be backward upon
your forehead.
Now write upon piece OF paper
and place this on your forehead; this
time the writing. when reflected. will
appear to be produced from right to
left.
Another amusing experiment con.
sists in taking a pencil in each hand
and in trying to write or draw a de-
sign with both at the same time. The
movements of the two hands must be
simultaneous.
The left hand will make exactly the
same movements as the right, but in
the opposite directions. You will then
have two words or designs, but one
will be just the reverse of the other.

In Japan the theater goer leaves
home as early as $50 or 10 O'Clock
in the morning. The play lasts all
day and sometimes far into the
night. During the play attendants go
about continuously, dispensing to
patrons small handless cups of pale
yellow tea, with which the air is
made fragrant. The Japanese theater
has several features novel to Ameri-
cans. A revolving stage, allowing the
scene to be changed Immediately, is
used and naturalness is given to the
general effect by means of two walks
leading direct to the stage on either
side of the theater and extending its
whole length. Sometimes these walks
are enlivened with flower borders,
and here the action of the play some.
times begins. A character will ap-
pear. not from the wings. but on one
of these walks. He will repeat some
lines, which the heroine perhaps, or
other character, will answer from the
opposite walk, and so by degrees they
make their way in the most natural
manner to the stage proper.
