Then ing at the United states that his the Pacific. But Hawaii has, up to the Present, been just out of reach. The United States has beén able thus far to create :uch a barrier to trespass around the group that England hes today only a chance to profit by the continuation of a policy of neglect which has been enter- tained by this government toward Hawaii during the last four years. Yet the Queen’s scouts cre ever alert to obtain a focthold there. Three years ago they discovered that Necker Island, a barren rock scarce a mile long, lying about a hundred and fifty miles northwest of the Hawaiian group, had never been formaliy occupied by the government at Honolulu and forthwith a vessel was dispatched by British orders to take possession of the rock in the name of Victoria. The spot was wanted as a terminus for a cable. But it would have been of much greater value as a nucleus for future holdings in that vicinity. But the Hawaiians were sufliciently alive to thre importance of frustrating England's de- d they sent a steamer hurriedly to Island and forestalled the Queen. England has large commercial interests In Hawaii, for her subjects and for the great volume of her commerce sweeping past the group. Her desire for possession is entirely natural and proper from her point of view And if this country shculd reject the overtures of the Hawaiiars for annexation to the United States, we could not blame them for seek- ing alliance with Great Britain. The great- est danger to the stability of the Hawaiian gcvernment at present is the Japanese in- ion, yet England stands to win in case element should force the despairing awaiians to seek the protection of a great friendly power against the Asiatics. ——_+ +2 —___ Tenement House Reform. A city like Washingon should have no slums. Its poor should have clean, whole- some homes, supplied with all the requisite facilities for preserving health. Over- crowding is unnecessary in a city laid out upon the spacions plan of Washington, and great tenement rookeries are abominations that have for existence here. that the tenement commission created by the bill just ed by the Commissioners is not only rable but nec There has been a al revival 1 interest in this subject of hou poor of late and the conviction hi in the s of sing the taken roct that while affairs loca ums are not at their worst the ily bad.

The public do not seem ever to have srasped the fundamental principle on which the Associated Press was organized. It Is not a money-making, but a money spending organization. It is simply a so- ciety of newspapers pledged to assist each other in the collection and interchange of news. Co-operation enables the papers in the association to collect the news of the World far more economically than it could be done independently. The United Press was organized on an jfntirely | different basis. It was primarily a corporation formed to sell news to newspapers, this pe does not seem to work suc- cessfully. ie Associated Press is formed on truly democrat lines, and hence it now occupies a practically unassailal Position. and feels a commendable concern | pias 5 1328 F St. aur up If you want one.
