NEUTRAL ISLANDS.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. 7
shouio IKE to indulge in political proph-
ecy concerning the final disposition of
the islands now held by the United States
We shall ultimately invite the great
powers to join with US in an alliance
offensive and defensive, under which the
contracting powers will agree that any
island or islands now belonging to any
OF the contracting nations that NAV be
given their independence shall have their
independence sustained by each and all
the contracting powers, on the following
conditions:
First. That such independent islands
snail at all times maintain free and open
ports to all nations Except small inn
port duty and port charges to apply
equally to ALL
second. That such islands shall main
tam no standing army, or navy, or any
coast defense, and only volunteer militia
sufficient to maintain local order.
Third. That the ships of all nations,
IN peace or at war with each other, may
at all times enter the ports of such islands
Tor supplies, repairs or for refuge, and
that within three miles of such island
coast, no ship or its crew, passengers,
freight or armament, shall be molested
by the ships or men of any nation, under
penalty of full indemnity to the party in
Jured, and to the island, if the island
was innocent.
Fourth. That such islands shall main
tain cosmopolitan population by such
immigration restrictions as shall forbid
more than ten per cent of its immigra-
ton coming from any one country.
Fifth. That while such island main
talns absolute neutrality and complies
with the stipulated conditions, it shall
have the right to establish, maintain or
alter any form of government for itself
that 1t may choose by majority vote, and
may call in the aid of any nation to main
tain or restore the same in case of in
surrection or rebellion.
Some of the reasons why such neutral
island policy Sc ems to be inevitable are;
First. Because the world has natur-
al right and natural need for such neu-
trail territory.
Second. Because the carnage of war
between great contending powers nat
urally falls upon such innocent terri
tory.
Third. Because nation island pos
sessions are the strongest temptation to
international conflict and jealousy.
Fourth. Because such possessions are
source of national weakness and ex-
pense.
Fifth Because these islands are now
stimulating demand for greater navy,
which is our worst and greatest stlmu-
liant in international rivalry.
Sixth. Because neutral island policy
would be great starter for information
al peace, and the United States is best
prepared to start it.
Seventh Because as such neutral
islands they will be of equal or greater
benefit to US, and at no expense.
Eighth. Because there seems to be
no other safe way to give the islands
their independence, or any just cause for
refusing or delaying it on these terms.

Paradise In The Will OF God.

dante; Paradise iii: 70-9o.1
Brother, our will is quoted by love,
Whose power makes US only to desire
That which we have, nor other thirst doth
move.
If we aspire to be up higher,
Then our desires discordant all would be
Unto His will who doth US here retire;
Which in these circles can not, thou wilt see
If to abide in love is needful here.
And if thou dost consider what it be.
Nay it's essential to this blessed sphere
To keep ourselves within the will divine,
By which our very wills do one appear.
And what from stage to stage He doth assign
Throughout this realm to all doth pleasing be,
AS to the King whose will doth ours incline
In His will is our peace; it is the sea
To which moves onward all of beings train
1t doth create and that by nature be.
Then clear it was to me how in heavens do
main
Each place is Paradise although the grace
Of God not in one measure there doth rain.

INSTANT RELIEF FROM lTCH.

Instant Relief from that itch.

Instant Relief from that itch
A few drops of a soothing liquid
And the itch is gone as if by magic.
Just drop or two on the skin and no more
of that torturing, endless, nerve racking itch
Can you imagine how it will feel-that itch
ing agony swept away in moment?
You can know the relief if you just try the
simple remedy-simplest of external liquid
remedies-oil of wintergreen as compounded
in D. D. D. Prescription.
We positively know that it alleviates the
itch immediately-we vouch for this and guar
antee it--for we have seen it used in too many
cases, and the cures that follow, as far we
know, seem to be permanent.

been solemnized in beautiful, historic
St. Stephens Lutheran Church, mono
have been marked by greater beauty
