thing is to conceal their colors.

THE PACIFIC QUESTION.

Take a map which shows the west
ern coast Of the western hemisphere
and the eastern coast of the eastern
hemisphere and trace the routes Of
trade between the two. The result
will be revelation 10 the mind which
has not a contemplated the growing
importance Of the Pacific ocean in
the worlds affairs.
That this is true is of fulfilment Of
prophecies made many years ago.
William n Seward. secretary Of state
under Pres. Lincoln foresaw this thing
Whiches now coming to pass, and as
early as 1851. Greasy. the English his
torian. saw that great changes would
take place in the orient due primarily

by the United States.

the reader Will observe with the map
before him that the United States al
most rubs shoulders with Russia. Ber-
ing straits is not much more than a
broad river and though it offers small
inducements to travel now must be
come a growing temptation to inter
communication. Following along
down the coast the steamship lines
begin to start at Siska, then Seattle,
Portland. San Francisco. Los Angeles,
San Diego Guaymas, Salina Cruz.

There are a dozen or more routes
crossing the Pacific in addition to
those coming out Of the Panama ca

these lines cross at Hawaii. others

and several concentrate on the Phil

The situation brings the United

FROM JEST TO EARNEST.

FhOm J6o y EARNES !.
H.. n favorite joke that often recurs in
the German comic papers is the con-
versation between the two little girls,
one of whom says, When | grow up
/ am going to be a suffraget," and
the other replies, "Oh, no, I'd rather
get married and have family"
Evidently the germans no longer
jest about suffragettes. Their jokes
have been carried too far for that.
Arson is beyond the limit of testing
in Germany. As a result, the latest
news from the Vaderland is that a
lady who called a school teacher a
suffragette has been fined, because
that word carries with it a distinct
implication of insanity.
Our German friends are very
matter of fact people. 1t is easy to
understand what short work they
would make of Englands most ser
ious political problem. This legal de
cisiOn is the first step toward that
definite recognition of the lack of
sanity of the English suffragettes
which has recently been so manifest
1t should be taken as a precedent the
other side of the North Sea.-New

EVANGELIST TALKS
CHURCH OF CHRIST
COMPARES ITS ORGANIZATION
WITH THAT OF, FRAZIER.
NAL BODIES. @st

The revival meeting at the Christian
church continues with undated inter-
est, the largest audience Of the series
being present last night. The sub
ject Of the evenings discourse was
1.-THE Church of Christ"
"Fraternal organizations" said
the evangelist, have their foun-
dation and principles; so, too,
the church has its foundation
and fundamental principles. The
foundation of the church is the fact
of the divinity of Jesus Christ estab-
lished by His death, burial, resurrec-
ton, ascension and coronation. These
facts were not established until Pen
tecost. Pentecost is the birthday of
the church. The method of induc-
ton into the kingdom is therefore
that laid down by the King and fol-
lowed by His apostles.
"Fraternities have their several de-
grees, and man must take all before
full membership; so also man must
take all steps, comply with all condi-
lions, in order to full membership in
the church of Christ"
The singing was especially good, the
men entering heartily into it, The
sweet voices of the McClung sisters
pleased the audience. Subject for to-
night is, What Shall l do to be
Sated?"
