ITS BLUFF CALLED.

The Florida Times Union has
punctured the circulation wind bag
of the Jacksonville Metropolis and
"Dufus, the chief engineer of the
aforesaid W. b has hit the earth. In
performing this service the Times
Union has earned the gratitude of
every newspaper man in Florida and
ninety-mine in every hundred of the
laity who read the Metropolis.
There isn't mothers sou of US that
hasn't been nauseated with the itera-
ton and daily reiteration of the cir
culatiOn claims feature of the Me-
tropolis None of us doubted its
original statement and when "Dufus"
swore to it we felt that while heaven
aud earth MIGHT PASS AWAY
those "hggers' WOULD STAND.
But "Dufus" got bold. He was not
cOntented with telling the people
all and more than he knew about his
own papers circulation. He must
needs forget to mind his own bust
ness and tell the people what he
DIDN'T KNOW about the circula-
ton of other papers.
These other papers remained pa
ticnt and kept quiet until patience
ceased to be virtue and truth de
mandcd they should speak.
Now comes the Times Union with
this statement:
"To tn public: The Florida Times
Union will deposit $500 to $1,000 with
an investigating committee of repu-
table business men, to be paid to one
or more CHARITABLE INSTITU-
| TIONS as may be agreed upon, il
it cannot show umequiVocally that

| disposed Of on the lines suggested, in
| the event the llmes-UniOn does not
make good its claim. This PROPOSE
ton is extended to he met by Satur-
day noon, April |, 1900"
The proposition is a fair one, but
the agility with which "Dufus" is
side-stepping it is II sight to behold
Fair as the proposition is, 'Dufus''
meets it with II counter one thai
seeks to becloud the issue.
The Florida Sun, however, meets
the statement in II manly way. Il
says:

A Plain success Story.

This is another success story-a
plain. unyarnished tale of a man who
succeeded in an ordinary way. II is
the story of the success of Robert NJ
Fair. who has recently retired as one
of the managing partners OF Marshall
Field & Co. OF Chicago. worth $4,000.
900 or more. At the age OF 13 young
Fair went into the Office of dry goods
store. His salary was 81 per week
Asked the other day why he accepted
such "A wage. he said: 1t was all
could get. tried To- get s1.5O. but
couldn't. You see. I wanted to learn
the business" The boy was willing
and anxious to begin at the bottom
round of the ladder. The young man 5
wages were slowly increased. And he
was getting experience. Finally he
quit the New York firm and went TO
Chicago. That was in 1863. He landed
in Chicago with 80 in his pocket. But
the next year he had saved his first
s1O0.
In 1879 he was taken into the Office
of Marshall Field as "a young man ac-
Puainted more or less with conditions
in Chicago" He had been keeping his
eyes open. Fair became successiyely
credit man. member of the firm, man.
aging partner. He made himself in
dispensable. The firm could not well
get along without him. Mr.. Fair SAYS
the greatest lesson he ever learned
was when as boy his employer gave
him this motto. Don't keep busy TO be
working. but keep busy To do some
thing He made his work count. His
story is simply one of hard work intel
ligently directed. His career contains
no sensational splurge or shrewd do
ings. He did not get rich quick. He
got rich because he improved his
chance and came up naturally-,be on
u safe way. His motto would be a
good thing for any young man To- paste
in his hat: Don't keep busy TO be work
ing. but keep busy To do something.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-07-02

The slight ripple of excitement re.
Gently caused by an expression OF
opinion that Japan was looking upon
our Philippine possessions with longing
eves-thereby threatening to involve
JUS in war in the near future with
the new power of the east-has hap
PLY passed away. It has left behind
it a surface of sufficient smoothness
new argument for the necessity of
so strengthening our hold upon the
Pacific Ocean that we shall not be
found unprepared, when the increasing
keenness of the rivalry for the trade
of the orient precipitates conflict for
the mastery of a situation to which
we hold the key.
AS world-events go, the steps in the
development of the Pacific Ocean, and
of trade with the far east, have fol-
lowed each other with marvellous ra-
pidity. The markets of the orient mean
a trade with 500,000,000 people, and
mo commercial nation intends to be a
laggard in the race to secure this rich
prize. The chapter in our commercial
history that tells of our disastrous de-
feat in the effort to secure an influence
on the Atlantic is one from which we
turn in the belief that the new one
that is to be written regarding the
Pacific Will reach a conclusion more
satisfactory to every patriotic feeling.
On the Atlantic our influence has al
most reached the vanishing point.
England and Germany have pushed
their advantages until today that ocean
is gridironed by the wakes of the
steamships of our rivals, carrying
ninety-two per cent of our commerce,
while there is not single regular
line of American-ow ships engaged
in that traffic.
But the present situation on the Pa
.cifc is full of portent. The trading
nations may be said to be deploying
for position. Already in the arena
may be seen England, with her Cana
dian and Asiatic possessions, Australia,
New Zealand, the FIJI Islands, and her
protectorate over the Gilbert Islands,
and her interest in Hongkong and
Singapore; France appears with the
extension of her dominion in lndo-
China, Siam, and Madagascar, as we'll
as in New Caledonia and the Society
Islands by the taking of the Marque-
sas Islands and the Low Archipelago.
Germany, by her requirement. of a
controlling interest in Kiaochau and
its 100000 people, has a footing
here as wen as at Shantung, and, her
appetite whetted for more power, has

creaSing their military value
In time of war they may be a bur-
Qeli ana menace, or a tower Of
strength, according as we leave them
in their present defenseless condition
or take advantage of the value they
offer US as a base of operation which
increases our effective striking distance
by $500 miles. Undefended save by our
fleet, our navy is decreased in size by
just the number of ships required to
prevent an enemy from establishing a
base here against us. Used as a base for
our own operations, that base defended
by land batteries, and high-power
coast-defense guns, our navy is re-
leased from the defense of the islands
ana the radius of activity of each ship
Is doubled thereby increasing the eff
cheney of our naval force. With Ha-
Wan in the hands of an enemy our
fleet would be driven back to the de-
tense of our coast-line-a line 1000
miles in extent-instead of being CEN
tralized at a single point. A triangle,
having its base at the extreme ends of
our coast line, would have it's apex at
Id " oil. IOl1 the apex Oh lnlS Cfl-
angle any attack must come, and it
scarcely needs deep learning in the art
OF war to realize that our first de-
Tense should be at the point rather
than at the more extended base line.
Should war-cloud appear on our
horizon and develop with the rapidity
OF that which overspread our relations
with Spain-especially with any nation
having a foothold in the Pacific-it
would then be too late to establish a
naval base at the Hawaiian Islands or
to defend them except by the use of
strong fleet detached for the purpose.
Under present conditions that fleet
would be practically at the limit of it's
radius of action when at the islands. if
operating from base on the Pacific
coast, with no adequate facilities for
repairing and for coaling-save at sea-
and for general supplies. With the ex-
