Trade Rivals Not Enemies.
Trade rivalry should, however. never
be a sufficient reason for political antag-
onism or animosity between nations,
which would only be justified IL the COM
merce of the world had now reached its
utmost limits and If the great manufac-
turing countries we're engaged In life
and death struggle for commercial SUI
premacy. No such conditions exist. The
trade Of the world is no& only a fraction
of what il will be In years to come. AZ
the years go on Germany and the United
States will increase indefinitely their pro-
duction and their consumption. their for
eign purchases and their foreign sales.
Colonies do not increase the power of
the mother country because they are its
possessions. nor-yet because q few NIL
Hons Of its emigrants, with their descen-
dants. live in them. but because by the
trade with them the wealth and the de-
fensive strength Of the mother country
are increased. Colonies which do not pro-
duce that result are Of little value; and
countries which possess this Importance
for a nation, even though they are not
Its colonies. are In this decisive point a
substitute for colonial possession in the
ordinary ense.
Era Of Colonial Expansion Past.
Moreover. in our days we notice
symptoms I'm all great colonies and de-
pendencies which seem to prove that the
era Of colonial expansion is past. In
nearly all colonies and dependencies We
notice a growing spirit Of independence
which must some day lead from self
government to political independence
The mother countries will then have no
other economical advantages over other
states besides those afforded by the bonds

Germany Policy Misrepresented.
In speaking of Germany as a world

that our world policy has often been

Germanists. who are of no importance at

the latter the pan-Germanists are even
considered a very undesirable element of
German journalism, because they stir up
Ill feeling abroad against Germany by
putting forth questions and aims which
are quite beyond the scope OF practical
politics. Even Mr.. Coolidge. whose book

that the pan-Germanists express freely

quieter patriots cherish I'm some degree.
This erroneous assumption Heads him

be the result either of a foolish policy
or of an outburst of unbridled popu-

of difficulty between Germany and the

Count Won BernstorT, who was intro

Some months ago | read a very in
teresting book, which was written and
given to me by my friend, Mr.. Archibald
Cary Coolidge of Harvard University,
and which deals with the subject of The
United States as a World Power In
the introduction Mr.. Coolidge explains
that the expires sion world power is
political commonplace, but that the term
is lacking In exactness, which. however,
seems rather natural, as it conveys
conception o: very recent origin. The
author defines the term world power
as meaning powers which are directly
interested in all parts of the world, and
whose voices must be listened to every

II think we can accept this definition
and need not argue with Mr.. Coolidge,
IL he further names five states as having
a claim beyond question to the title Of
world powers. Be this as 1t may, we
all seem to agree with Mr.. Coolidge, that
Germany has such a claim. as you would
on this subject. OF the five world powers
named by Mr.. Coolidge, Germany and the
United States are decidedly the two
youngest. January 49, 1871. was the

all the west side streams which head
in the lofty Bitter Root mountains, is
a raging torrent the hrst half of the
yea, and placid stream inlet furnish
ing scant supply of water during
the latter part of most seasons when

very similar on every mountain

whatever water may be required. But
these dams cost money.
For more than 20 years the farmers
on Canyon creek have been talking
about building reservoirs. A stock
company was formed and several half
hearted attempts made but unity was
lacking and the funds were not forth
coming.
