As may be noted elsewhere in
this issue a call is issued for a
meeting of the property owners
on Smith avenue TO be held in
the st. Clement school house
Thursday evening, May 29th, for
the purpose Of discussing ways
and means for hard surfacing
this important thoroughfare. II
is TO be sincerely hoped that the
property owners will attend the
meeting and decide upon i'm
proyement, as Smith avenue is
one of the important arteries the
city possesses, and It's hard sur
facing will have a tendency TO
rapidly develope and increase
the value of the property. II
will cost no more TO do so now
than five or six years later and
the Bancroft Bonding Act pro.
vides an easy mode of payment.
There has been a diversity of
opinion as TO how the property
should be improved, but IL is TO
be hoped that this variance will
be abridged at the meeting next
Thursday evening. Let all at
tend.

The clerks and deliverymen of
the various grocery and general
merchandise stores of ST. Johns
are petitioning their employers
TO adopt Thursday afternoon Of
each week during the summer
months ms half holidays. We
understand that the merchants
are looking with more or less
favor upon the innovation. II
would seem To us that the petit
TONERS are deserving of this
concession. Their labors are
long and arduous. and IL all the
merchants grant the boon no
trade would be lost. since we un-
derstand IL is the purpose of
Portland stores TO give a half
holiday on the same day. And
the public would be put 10 no
particular inconvenience. For
one day in the week the patrons
could do their shopping i'm the
morning. The proprietors them
selves would doubtlessly enjoy a
half holiday each week. I'm the
mad race that modern times have
established, too little heed is
given 10 recreation and relaXa-
tion. The increasingly daily
grind gives no opportunity TO re-
cuperate. Men grow old before
their time. Nature asserts t.
self finally in no unmistakable
way, With constant toll infrm
tiles come quickly. The en-
ployes would feel much the bet
ter for the half holiday, would
resume their labors more cheer
fully, and all would be the hap !
pier for il. Surely the merchants
should get together and am
nounce a half holiday for the
summer months. beginning June |

There is one portion of a street
in particular the Improvement of
which is a decided public neces-
sity. and that is the improve
ment of Crawford street between
Burlington and Pittsburg street
leading 10 the ferry landing.
This street has been in almost an
impossible condition, and it is
the only feasible route to reach
the hard surface on Burlington
street from the ferry. The
street should be hard surfaced.
There is no reason why at least
one good roadway should not be
provided TO the ferry. The i'm
mense amount of traffic demands
il. Council should take the ini-
tiative in this matter, and not
wait for property owners to petit
tion for it. Any excess cost
should be borne by the city with
out a murmur. Il is a frequent
query of many visitors to st.
Johns: "Why in the world
doesn't the city make good
street to the ferry?" The nee
essity is so obvious that there is
no ground for hesitation.

Kaiser Must Extend Territorial Holdings for Growing
Millions of Population and Strong Fleet OF the
Fatherland Is a Constantly Growing Men,
ace to the United States

! What is the definite reason behind tn
, urgency with which Admiral Dewey an,
the Navy Department are pressing Con
| gress for. three battleships a year?
Ask any naval officer, and, il he choose
to speak frankly, he will tell you tina
| our government fears armed conflicts
| with Germany, and that this is VIII,
| more ships are wanted.
England for some time past has fell
much alarm on account of the rapidly
growing sea power OF the German En-
pire, which threatens her maritime su.
premacy; but there is growing belief
both here and on the other side of the
water that the Kaiser's naval prepa ra
tions are aimed at ourselves, and not
against Great Britain
But why? We have no Quarrel witt
Germany. Relations between the two
nations were never more peaceful. What
should cause an outbreak of war?
Look for the answer in the Monroe
doctrine. The Kaiser is getting ready
to smash it,
Such, at all events, is the opinion COM
monty held among navy men. 1t is not
that the Kaiser is looking for trouble
or wants war, but. from his point of
view. there is no other way out. There
is something he has got to have, and
he cannot get II without fighting the
United States. Accordingly. he is max
ing ready to fight.
Must Have More Territory.
Germany. with an area only four-fifths
as great as that of Texas. has n popu-
lation Of eS.O0p.OCO Race suicide is un-
popular in that country. and cradles there
oh,
ritory must be had to make room for
the people. Unfortunately. she possess
IS no colonies worth mentioning. and
tall the rest OF the world having already
been grabbed by other nationsD she has
long cast a covetOus eve upon South
America.
The only reason she has not already
annexed a large part Of South America
to the German Empire is that. in order
to accomplish this. she must fight the
United States. The Monroe doctrine
stands in the way.
But why should she respect the Mon
roe doctrine?
The answer is that she doesn't She
does not care tuppenCe for it. But she
has had a very wholesome respect for
our naval power. which, until recently,
was superior to her own.
The Monroe doctrine is exactly as
strong as the navy Of the United States.
and not one bit stronger. This means
that it is now a feeble barrier indeed,
for Germany's sea power to-day is far
superior to our own. While Congress
has been higgling and haggling over
naval appropriations. the kaiser's gov
ernment has been building battleships
at the rate of three every year, and We
are left far behind
Lest this be deemed an cxaggeration,
take a look at the figures:

HOLLYHOGKS.

Experiments are continually being made

no case are they attended with SO many

hollyhocks, says Prof. George Webb. in

mote. mention OF it being made over 800
years ago. At that time the only two
double varieties were red and purple-the
parents of all the fifty or so double va
rietes that are known to-day. a shoe
maker OF Saffron Walden first made ex-
periments in crossing these two varieties
early in the last century. and he produced
many shades of a semi-double character.
These were handed on to the late Mr..
William Chatter. the most famous of
hcllyhock growers. and in his hands they
took many new and beautiful forms.
A chapter in the history of the holly
hook now began which touched more upon
the romantic. perhaps, than has been
the case with any other flower. With
new and more beautiful forms came in
creased popularity. The growing of hol-
lyhocks was taken up by many. and there
was great competition until the sudden
appearance of a disease. the cause of
which has never to this day been def
nitely traced. No means were found of
guarding against il. while its effect was
so sudden and so complete that hundreds

We have four more Dreadnoughts

Two years from now We shall have

ing three mora total of six. These
are cruiser Dreadnoughts, swifter than
the battIeships. carrying guns of the
largest caliber Though not quite so
many. and capable of taking place in

How many cruiser Dreadnoughts

Thus. it appears that. including these

When all vessels now building are

paper strength" II gives no adequate
notion OF Germany's real superiority,
because most OF her ships are much
newer than ours. Much of our hoating
