"No VISIT so WELCOME"

Americas big battleship fleet has ar rived in Australasian waters The first leg of the long trip from san Francisco around to the west and home to the Atlantic again has been completed. Save for the six days stay at Honolulu, this leg of the journey, which has been thirty-three days long, has been nowhere so eventful as the next promises to be.
 Auckland was a mass of flags and bunting Sunday morning, when the American fleet sailed into it's snug har> bor, punctual to the minute The school children have been given a weeks vacation that they may partici- pate in the celebrations over the com ing of the Americans There will be speeches, receptions, balls, reviews, banquets, parades and athletic contests almost without number. A handsome souvenir book to be presented to all of the American officers contains the fol- lowing glowing greeting for them: "No visit of foreign warships was ever So welcome us is yours today In receiving the fleet, q sense of kinship stirs our hearts, for we feel that the greatest na- ton of the west has come to visit us, this fleet being the visible embodiment of It's might, majesty and dominion, President Roosevelt, in act and deed of his llfe-work, reflects and voices our national ethics and aspirations. The name Roosevelt in New Zealand stands for national righteousness and is cher ished honored and revered. The fleet stands for peace, justice and freedom. These are the thoughts and feelings that are stirring our hearts today
 But Auckland is only one of a great many ports to be visited in quick rota- tion now. Al each of them a welcome no less sincere may be expected, such as promises well to make dispeptics and blase society Chesterfelds out of every one of our sailors Especially does the welcome awaiting our men in Aus tralasian ports promise to be a hearty one. The fact has beer tlttingly pointed out that the United States is nowhere
 in the British Empire more popular, save perhaps in Ireland than in Aus

LIiley Not In Control Here. lWinsted CitizenD

We can speak for ourselves, however and we wish to say that notwithstand- Ing the reported boast of Mir. Lillcy the state there is one here in Lltchfeld county that he does not control. Lay Ing aside all personal refeSences as to his racetrack gambling. tuHSey and fur niture deals, we believe, as do a great army of citizens in this state, that Mi, Lllley as result of the congress sonal submarine investigation, brought national shame and disgrace upon this commonwealth, and that politically he should be laid away on shelf There Is only one public office that Mir. LIl- ley could with good grace ask for tho support of his constituents. and that IS that he be returned to congress and retrieve his record. But the difficulty there Is that he knows very well that congress would give him such cold reception that his beef refrigerator as compared to 1t would be like 99 in the shade Mir. Lilley charged that there was corruption among his fellow mem bers in congress. He said, With a flock of 3S3 here 1t would be strange If there were not some sheep In 1t that had the footrot or scabes." The in- vestigatlng committee found that there was one who did have some such ail- ment. In it's report and in it's finding which was adopted by congress the committee repeatedly charges MT. Lil- ley with acting in bad faith with de- ception and with allowing himself to be used as tool It says that he made false charges and that when he made them he knew he was making false charges, that he violated his ob- llgatlon as a member of congress and that he acted in contempt of the house in destroying a forged letter That is what a majority of the congress- men of the United States has to say about MT. Lilley. Do we need to say any more to give sufficient and good reason for being opposed to him as governor

tralasla Not even does our near-neigh- Dor Canada love us and our principles mord than these peoples of the south seab,Fih whose breasts our democratic hellefs'are duplicated, So great Is this love of the United States with them that the Providence Journal does not hesitate to express It's fear that 1t may overdo itself, "They seem capable of placing an excessive, at least an undi- plomatic, emphasis upon the word-cir- cling voyage of our battleships," says that paper, and any such development might have embarrassing consequences, It Is to be hoped that in welcoming the fleet the Australasians will not of fend Japanese susceptibilities by open ly interpreting the presence of the re- publie's fighting ships in those waters as threat to Japanese interests or pretensions, yet the peril of such man lfestatlons of hostility to the great ori- ental power in conjunction with the demonstrations over the fleets appear ance, ls likely to arouse anxiety In at least three capitals during the next few weeks"
 This Is side of the situation not to be overlooked. The man who is reason ably moderate in all things even in welcoming the visiting sailors of q much-beloved and friendly people, Is the wise man, But no complications of this nature need be expected If our naval officers see the wisdom of not al- lowing their subordinates to indulge in too many shore festivities.

LiIley's Ambition.
Savannah News, )

MT. Lilley doesn't seem to care if some of his colleagues in the house were smlrched. Probably he had the idea that if he could show there was corruption and he had uncovered it he would stand before the country a much bigger and more important man than he really is, Whatever his motive, 1t is certain that he failed completely to sustain his charges The attitude In which he has been placed Is very humilatlng one, He has dIscredlted himself In the estimation of his col leagues and his usefulness to his con @ stituents has been greatly impaired, If not entirely destroyed. He will find that his influence is gone and that his colleagues will not care to have muen to do with him when he returns to his place in the house.

 At the outset of his remarks Colonel ullman paid a great tribute to the newspapers as great institutions and moulders of public opinion. But he said that they sometimes became self-ap- pointed dictators, and referring plain ly to the Journal Courier he said that the principal gentleman" behind 1t was seemingly taking pleasure In an attempt to disrupt the party organisa- tion of the state by his opposition to one of he candidates for the republican nomination for governor.
 But said the colonel, T have told this gentleman that no one man can disrupt the party any more than one man could build it up
