What is to be the attitude of this government toward Spain. Are we to hold Spain respons- ible for our war expenses, and if we do that are we going to demand territory as a security for its payment? If we go after a war indemnity with a real estate security we shall certain ly be obliged to foreclose the mort- gage on the property. It is morally .certain that Spain.will never be able to redeem the pledge. ‘The Phillip- pines and Porto Rico would thus fall into our hands and the career of ex- pansion hegun by the theft of Hawaii would be well under way. Cuba would still remain a problem. fiw all signs points to the occupaticn @ that island also on the real or pertended grounds that Cuba is not fit to govern herself. It is true that before the war began we sympathized greatly with Cuba as a down trodden people whom we were,going to assist to free- dom, But since the war began we have heard less and less of that strain and more and more of the incapacity, the cruelty and the offishness uf the Cubans. Aa far as, the republican party is concerned it will be as ready to grab Cuba as it was Hawaii, and the kind of Cuban republic that will be established cau be ,relied upon at the right moment to ask for annexation. The era of expansion is coming and we are going tu have statistics of how much laud McKinley’s adminis- tration ‘added to cur domain” and al! that kind of eutchy rot. We shall also be informed (hat high, pure and unadulterated patriotism dictates that “where the American fiag has gone up, itshall never be hauled down.” This is a very loud and showy kind of patriotism, but it is exceedingly cheap. It makes no great draugh. ou the moral courage oi a peopie to say that. ‘True bravery ap- pears more in the open where care as taken nob to dun up your country’s tag where it has nv business and to stand ready tv haul it down when- ever convinced that it has been im- properly raised. here is asort of dural brow beating and natural anar- cby in insisting tbat the tlag shall never be hauled down. ‘The flag is ouly.an embiem of the uatioual houur if the embiem gets;iu the wrong place national honor is vindicated in re- moving it rather than iu “rallying” Lo the effect that right or wrong it shall never come down. If this doc- urine is allowed to prevail the Amer- ican fiag will never come down in Cuba, even though we are most sol- emy pledged tu assert no parmanent jurisdictiowin that island. So many republican leaders had their eyes on Cuba before the war that it will be surpising if a way uround the estab- lishmeut of a Cuban republic is not found. <As early as 1395 Senator Lodge, the aurthor of the Hawaiian resulution, declared that Cuba would soun become “a,necessity tojus.? lo Lhesame year Seuator Cullon, another Hawaiian anuexationist, said, “Cuba is the natural property of the United States.” He declared a little later that it was the duty of the great re- publican party to assume the j b of unnexing it, Senator Frye, who stands next to Senator Davis un the foreign relation Committiee, when Spain seemed to be in a conciliatory mood, remarked that he had hoped that it would be otherwise that Spain would assume such an arrogant and belligerent tone that it would be necessary for the Uhited States to go over and take possession of Cuba. Now that we are taking possession, will these leaders ever admit that we are there only temporarily or will they vociferate in tones of truculent patriotism ‘‘where the American flag has once been run up it shall never, no never, be hauled down?’’—Minne- apolis Times.

RETURN—10 MONEY IN THE MOUTH It Is Dangeroas as Well as a Dirty Hobit. “Did you notice that?” asked Dr. J. J. Clarke of this city to me as we were riding on a Sutter street car, says a writer in the San Francisco Call. What he drew attention to was a Chinese passenger, who, when asked for his fare, took a nickel from the in- terior of his left ear and gave it to the conductor, “A queer place for carrying money,” [ said. “I kngw of many odd places that people carry money in but that is the oddest.” “It was with the view of drawing your attention to a dangerous prac- tice that I asked you to lock at that Chinaman,” said the doctor and then nudged me to look in the direction of a well-dressed lady who had a moment before taken her seat and was fumbling in her purse for her fare. She found the coin she was in search of and placed it between her lips while she closed | her purse and then taking the coin from her mouth held it in her hand until it was called for. “I suppose you saw that lady place that coin between her lips?” said the doctor. “Yes; what of that? I have seen that done a hundred times.” © “Did it ever occur to you that the practice is a dangerous one and the source of more disease than many peo- ple imagine? Does that lady know where the coin was before she placed it in her mouth? May it not have been in the ear of her Chinese laundryman or cook or may it not have been in the pocket of some individual afflicted with 4 contagious disease? If it were in the ear of an individual who had an af- fection of that organ the microbes of the disease would cling to the coin and when placed between the lips, if there should happen to be a cold sore there or, as it often happens, a rupture of the tissue, the germs of the disease would find lodgment there and the per- son guilty of the practice would won- der how. {t happened that there was anything the matter with her. The mi- robes of contagious disease will attach themselves to coin and now you can see how easy it is to transmit disease not only by a cold sore, or a lip that is what is commonly. called ‘cracked’ but by in- -halation. “The practice,” added the domor, with some vehemence, “is not only dan- gerous but it is Positively diev-. 1g and I cannot understand wi af ladies are given to it.” oimesteaders | Can save time and expense by proving up before E.
