destiny in the part we are playing
there. No one dreamed what the ac-
QUESTION of California meant to us nor
that we were getting it in the nick of
time. 1t was supposed we were vast
ing our money when we bought Alas
ka. What would we have to pay for
it today if it could be had at any price?
We had no inkling of what we were
doing when we got the Sandwich ISL
ands or that we were getting them just
on the eve of great development in the
Orient and on the Pacific. Who can
say that the trouble in Cuba was not
a part of the Divine plan for placing
the United States in commanding
position in the Orient? How else
could this nation have been forced into
a position of influence in the Far
East?
There is no one who can guess the
magnitude Sof the development and
changes that will be made during the
next century by the nations bordering
on the Pacific ocean. Japan aspires
to become the mistress of the Pacific,
to WELD the predominating influence
in Asia. The United States has no
designs on the territory of any nation
but it stands for a square deal for all.
We have in Pearl Harbor strategic
point that will enable us to control the
Pacific with an adequate fleet and for
tifications. We cannot afford to ne
glect our opportunity. While we
have no desire to dominate the Pa
cific we cannot afford to take a secon-
dairy place. We must be in a position
to insist upon our rights and to pro-
tect our own interests and to see that
there is fair play. Who knows that

tablish in the Philippines may not be

PRESS ON PEARL HARBOR

Governor Frear. of the Territory of
Hawaii, meeting the fleet of battle
ships in an address of welcome, re-
marked that this day and this year
mark the beginning of the realization
of long cherished hopes of a naval sta
ton at Pearl Harbor'
Let us hope so.
Pearl Harbor has been a long time
coming, but there can be no denial
of the fact that the government would
be wise in insisting that naval sta
ton of great strength should be es-
tablished there as rapidly as the work
can be done.
Nor can the government go to sleep
over the Importance of founding a
station of impregnable strength in the
Philippine With Hawaii in the pos
session OF an enemy the Pacific coast
would be menaced With the Philip
pines captured by the navy of a for
eign foe, our influence in the Far East
would diminish to the vanishing point
and we might as well give up our
dreams of commercial supremacy or
even of commercial Importance.
In the end the Filipinos may be
granted self-government, but that can
not come until we are so well forti-
fled that navies would no more think
of attacking our base than they would

the successful administration of
county agricultural schools, which
many counties, including this one,
are now, in the face of opposition,
planning to establish under the new
law, and will seriously handicap
the efforts in this direction by
being seized upon by the opposi-
tion. Of course the indicative
and spiteful agitators who are con-
demning the action of the State A.
and M. Board of Trustees and per-
scouting President Hardy, care
nothing about this, if they can car
ry their point; but it is quite a
sufficient reason for the Board and
the intelligent, minded people
of the State who are interested in
making these agricultural schools a
success, to stand pat in support of
the board and President Hardy.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT.
One to be Held in BrOOkhaVen in
October Under the Auspices Of
the Farmers Union.

A delegation of the Farmers
Union of Lincoln County met at
the Union Warehouse in Brook
haven last Saturday and took the
initiatory steps to have an agricul-
tural exhibit at their warehouse
some time in October, the date to
be fixed and announced by the
committee having charge of the
preliminary arrangements. This
committee is composed of c. B..
Raulins, H. F. Middleton and Lee
Maxwell, and in due time they will
make out and publish the list of
premiums offered, with date of
fair.
This is a commendable movement
and the people of Brookhaven and
the county generally should do all
they can to help make it a success.

THINKS 1T WOULD NOT BE SURPRIS.
ING TO LINCOLN, WHO UNDER.
STOOD THE NEGRO.
A LamentabIe Occurrence, But It Will
Not be Without Its Lesson
to the North.
The Governor Speaks Out in His Usual
Candid Style.

jackson, Miss, August 17.-In
answer to request from the New
York Herald for an expression of
opinion regarding the race conflict
in Springfield, ILL.,, ex-Gov. James
K. Vardaman said:
Il am sure it is not surprising
to the spirit of Abraham Lincoln,
who is doubtless cognizant of all
that is taking place in his former
home.
No man reared north of the Ma
son and Dixon line understood the
negro better than Lincoln. He
said repeatedly that the two races
could not live together in the same
country on terms of social and poll
tical equality.
These conflicts are the natural
outgrowth of abnormal conditions.
The negro has never been able to
live in the same country with the
white man on terms of social and
political equality without conflict.
If he is to remain in America with
out conflict such as is disturbing
the capital of our sister State the
door of hope Of social equality
must be closed in his face by deny
ing him all political equality.
These conflicts are profoundly
regrettable, but they are liable to
occur in any part Of this republic
where the negroes live in as large
numbers as they do in Springfield,
ILL.,, and where the white man con-
cedes to him the rights of citizen
ship which he enjoys there.
Il syrnpathize with the unfor-
tunate woman whose life has been
blighted by the black brute. / am
sorry that innocent negroes have
been punished. But it matters
not what / may desire or Others
may say, white men are going to
hang and kill negroes just SO long
as negroes persist in raping white
women, and | think they ought to.
Such sad experiences as Spring.
field is undergoing will doubtless
cause. the people Of the North tc
look with more federation upon the
methods employed by the Southern
people in dealing with this race
problem.
knowledge obtained by such
bitter experience comes pretty
high, but some people will moi
learn in any other school.

Struck a Popular Chord.

The strong lead of DIR. Tom Nc
Nair for City Treasurer, in Mon
days city election, over several
popular competitors lacking only
62 votes of receiving majority
over them all put together, is on e
of the significant straws showing the
revulsion of sentiment among the
people of this city as well as in the
county against improper influence
by banks and bank officials in city
and county politics in order to con-
troll the handling of public moneys.
Though an officer of the Central
Bank, DR.. McNair, at the very out
set of his candidacy, declared and
made it plain that he was not and
would not be the special candidate
or representative of any bank, but
if elected, would divide and depos-
it equally, as near as practicable,
all the public moneys passing
through his hands among the three
city banks, showing special par
tiality to none and wearing the col
lar of none.
That is popular platform with
the people and is likely to become
more so, since experiencing the OBJ
ject lesson they have of some bank
methods in the politics of Lincoln
county.
