He Has Two SIGNATURES.

There is one New York business man
who is reasonably proof against the
forger, as he has two signatures ana
the forger must first get hold of one
of his bank checks to get any action.
Seeing the signature on letter or no
tel register would do the forger no
good. The bank would not recognize
it. II don't particularly fear the
forger," the business man admitted.
'but my two signatures make me feel
safer just the same. am surprised

knack Of signing your name two sep
arate and distinct ways."-New York

NEED THE ISLANDS
United States Did Well ina

Says Dr.. Bartholomew.
Commercial Value Steadily Increasing,
While They Occupy Strateeica
Position.

THE United States made no mis-
take in anneXing the Hawaiian is
lands said DIR. E.. F. Bartholomew,
professor of philosophy and English
literature at Augustana college, in
speaking yesterday afternoon about
his visit to these islands this summer
THE Japanese, more than anyone
else. appreciate the great value of
these island possessions and look with
a jealous eye cn Americans occupation
In the event of a conflict between the
United States and Japan, the Hawai-
ian islands would undoubtedly be the
first object of Japanese attack, before
they would even think of molesting
the Philippines.
'The reason for this is very ap-
parent The Hawaiian group occupies
strong strategical position in the Pa,
cific. The Pacific is rapidly becom-
ing the principal highway of the
nations Within a few years the num-
Der of steamship lines has increased
rapidly and commerce is growing at
an enormous rate All these lines
find it necessary to stop at the islands
to take on coal and food, which makes
their Importance easily apparent
More Necessary Now.
'Our acquisition of the Philippine
lislands makes the Hawaiian group all
the more necessary. for if We are te
hold the former it is necessary to have
a midway station in the Pacific, a
link to connect the Philippines with
the United States All this, the Jap
anese understand full well. and they
know that the Hawaiian islands con
stitute the strategic point. The one
source of danger to the United States
lies in the great number of japanese
citizens in the islands. Fully 81 pei
cent of the population are Japanese.
/ From commercial point of view
the islands are of almost inestimablt
value to the United States. The sol
lis very rich and is particularly adapt
ed to the raising of certain valuable
crops. Sugar is still the great produc
of the islands and the output is grow
ing from year to year. A new rail
road line has just been built whicl
circles around the coast line of tn
island Oahu. offering splendid shir
Iping facilities to sugar planters. Thi
line runs into Honolulu. The suga
planters are all becoming immensel
