Kansas is trying to wipe out the i'm
preston that it is one of the young
states of the Union by making plans
for the celebration of it's semi-centen-
NAL as a state. To be sure, the 5Oth
anniversary of it's admission to the
Union does not occur until 1911, but
Kansas is nothing if not wide-awake
and up-tO-date, and 4 state convention
will meet at Topeka, January 20, and
lay it's plans for the great event. This
is reminder that during the opening
years of the century a number of states
will celebrate their centennials. LOUIS
lana was admitted in 1872; Indiana ir
1S1G; Mississippi in 1917; Illinois in 1918
Alabama in 1919; Maine in 1920 and
Missouri in 1921. After Missouri, nc
state was admitted until Arkansas and
Michigan in 1886 and 1887 respectively.

A Tribute to Senator Hale.

Elsewhere on this page, this morning
the Journal publishes the splendid edi-
torial tribute to Senator Hale of Maine
which appeared in Wednesdays issue
Of the Washington Post, and Neknow
that it will be a matter of interest and
a source Of pride to the people of oul
State. The Post, which gives q
prominent place in its editorial columns
to this high praise of Names senior
senator, is an independent and con.
servative newspaper which is every.
where Acknowledged to be one Of ths
ablest edited in the country. 1t is
absolutely non-partisan and is not in
the habit of gushing over men promi-
nent in public life. It's reference to
Senator Hale was occasioned by his
activity in the recent investigation OF
the work ard plans of the Panama
canal commission and his attitude upon
the great national problems with which
this Congress has to deal. 1t is nothing
new to have words of praise of Senator
Hale from those whose praise is worth
having, but we are glad to give our
readers this new evidence that he Is
appreciated at his true worth at the
national capitol. Here in his home
State where he is known and loved, and
where the people have hOnored them
selves in honoring him, the tribute of
the Post finds Il prompt and hearty re-
sicnse.
Senator Hale is unqueStionably one
bubble life at the present time, and
those associated with him at Washing
ton will unhesitatingly endorse all that
the Post says regarding his ability
courage, integrity. high purpose and
energetic application. Again and again
his wisdom and foresight in great
public matters have been demonstrated
in way that has redOunded to the
credit and welfare of his party and his
country His influence is not second to
that Of amy man holding seat in the
halls of national legislation and no man
there is more respected by his coll
leagues or honored by the country at
large. Maine has right to be proud
Of such an illustrious son and to re-
joice that he continues to represent her
So well and to serve the whole tAuntry
50 well ut Washington.

PlrtIand'S vote, this week, on the
subject of annexation of South Port
land. while by no means as large as
that cast at the municipal election
showed that there was much more in
t..rpst in the question than had been
supposed A total of 1895 votes We're
cast, of which 1885 were against annex
alton and 1860 in favor. South Port
land has already voted in favor of an
n.Xaticn and by the terms of the en-
aiding act Portland may vote twice
more, at intervals of not less than enc
year, before the act expires. From one
point Of view. Portland would gladly
annex the younger city, for the combi-
nation would swell it's population above
the GO. 900 mark and have other advan-
tagcs, but on the other hand, South
Portland needs a lot of things in the
line of sewers. school improvements
letter streets. etc. The prospect Of in
creased taxes was mainly the ground
upon which Portland has refused by Z
majority of 3115 to approve the con.
solilation. Portland absorbed the city
of Drcring half a dozen years ago, bu
It does not Seem quite ready to take l.;
similar step as regards South Portland
which was set off from Cape Elizabeth
n decade ago and began life as a cit,
three years later. There is little doub
that il will ultimately become a part o
the city of Portland.

1t is worth noting that during the
whole year of 1896 the importations of
diamonds and other precious stones
into the United States aggregated in
value only 81 ,933173 That was a year
of business depression, following two
years of hard times. During the IL
months of the present year to Novem-
Der. like importations aggregated in
value S31, 359,l 1877. Here is another
measure of the prevailing prosperity
for diamonds enjoy the consideration
only CT superfiuous wealth. Moreover
according to this measure of prosperity
the present year is far more bOuntiful
in its yield of material riches than any
preceding year; for the impOrtations OF
precious stones for only 10 months far
exceed those of any previous entire
year contrasting with $21, 7G6052 II
1904 $2S.4S93 l4 for 1903 and $26, 81 ,Ois

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Hon. Eugene Hale.
(Washington POSt.)

washington POSt.)
The prominent part which the Hon.
Eugene Hale is now taking in the de-
libcrations and the acts of the SENATE
should furnish occasion for Senefai
gratitude and reinsurance. 1t is not
only that Mr.. Hale is Il public servant
Of long and honorable service-coVerliis
a period of nearly forty yearS-nor does
the significance of his present activity
eliminate in the fact that he is Il man
of special courage and intelligence
The equation is completely formed ohly
when we insert the factors OIL HIS
demonstrated probity and patriotism.
We have in public life unlimited ma
terial of elOquence integrity, devotion,
high purpose, and energetic application.
Compressed into Mr.. Hale's single per-
sonality we have almost, If not quite
all the qualities of wise and patriotiC
craftsmanship. We congratulate the
country, therefore, upon the evident III
tention of this distinguished senator 10
play leading role in the drama Oh hd-
tional affairs upon which the curtain
has just been lifted.
The future does not present ItseH
in particularly alluring garb. In one
way or another, we have bluhdered
or been betrayed into all sorts of sin
lister complications. The Panama
canal enterprise has resolved itself INTO
Il deplorable and bewildering muddle'

with each succeeding day. We have
gradually yielded to the reckoning OF
strange adventure and succumbed 10
the Establishments of feverish am
bition. Millions have been expended
ir one direction without visible results.
Grave responsibilities have been as
sumed in another direction without
sanction or precedent or law. with
the Hon. Elihu Root in charge of the
portfolio of State, we have already seen
our mischeviOus policy in respect OF
Venezuela relegated to the limbo of
obscurity. Under the Root dispense
ton, moreover, we shall probably hear
no more of foolish staggering in far
off waters and costly junketinss on
Pickwickian commercial prOpa gandaS
But there are carking problems here

He is no time-serving trimmer, nc
matter what illustrous wind may blow
He is brave and honest gentleman
who gives enlightened service to his
country without fear or favor. 1t is
good to find him to the fore at such q
time. He makes for strength and
refuge in this hour of evil possibility
