Despite his age, he still has the bear

OF the Chilean war in 1881. He was

and every honor in its gift is his.
Speaking through an interpreter he
said he wished to express the kindly
feeling all Peruvians have for this
country.
There are many great opportun-

he said, "and especially for those who
have capital to invest. Peruvians

WHAT CAN MAN DO.

There may be a limit to human achievement, though nobody is sum. ciently wise and fsr-seeing to tell where the limit is. provided there is one, for often those who think they know what is impossible find later on that they were not wise in their day and generation. Many of the predictions put forth by wise men of former days; or. to put it more exactly. many of their assertions as to what could not be done, sound almost ridiculous pie. we call to mind an assertion made less than sixty years ago by an intel ligent and well-informed Congress- man. To be exact. 1t was in 1851 that Hon. A W. Venable. member of Con- gress from North Carolina, a man of talent and wide information. used this language in one of his speeches in the House: "The power conferred on us by the Constitution to build ships for navy for the public defense was never intended to be used for the con- struction of steam vessels"
 Does not that sound absurd to us of the present day? Mfr. venable. as we said, was a man of knowledge and in- huence in his day, yet 1t plainly was his opinion that it would be a violation of the Federal Constitution to build steam war vessels. He plainly thought that such ships could not be made ef fective and that 1t would be a waste of the public money to expend 1t in any such way. That speech was made at such a comparatively recent period that there are many now living who were grown men when he solemnly voiced his want of faith in steam ships.
 We give this as one among the many notable examples of short sigh t. edness on the part of good men of the past, and to show that 1t Is never safe to say that a thing cannot be done. But. as we started to gay. while there may somewhere be a limit to what men can do in these days, there seems no bounds to what they believe and are ready to undertake. as is made evi- dent every day to those who keep track Of what goes on around us.

TWO or A KIND.

The New York Hearst-Americsn looks on 1t as silly for the United States to talk or leglslate about Jap- anese exclusion. unless we have big navy to enforce the exclusion laws and regulations. If any attempt is made to defy them. It's idea seems to be that if we pass laws to keep out Jap anese labor Japan will send fleet over here and, if necessary. force our Gov ernment to receive all the foreigners who desire to come here, regardless of our Governments wishes in the mat ter. To put 1t in another form, we must do nothing to give offense to the Orient until we are prepared to keep all other nations away from cur shores.
 It all sounds very silly. of course. but not more so than much of the stuff that is printed by the Hearst newspapers. Sensational yellow jour nalism is among the important assets of that press. and just now Mir. Hearst thinks it popular to join the jingoes who are making themselves ridiculous by continually predicting and declaring that war with Japan Is almost at our doors. wars horrid front Is ever looming up in their line of vision and giving them cold shivers along their spines.
 All this shouting and bIoviation Is only in line with the opposition of the President, who is as much of a jingo as any of them. In his speech at New port last wednesday he made 1t plain that he thinks a big navy is just what we must have, or soon find ourselves holding up our hands while Japan takes possession of such part of our real estate as she desires. Tn fact, he seems to think If we try to exclude undesirable immigrants. Japan will send her fleet over here and colonize the Pacific Coast from Alaska to Mex leo. They shouldn't get 'skeered" over such a thing as that. Roosevelt will be a private citizen next year, and if the Japs attempt to wipe us out. he can go over to the Pacific and shoo 'em back. Let not the Jingoes throw any more fits just yet.
