OUR SE0R6E IS THEIR 6E0R6E
The American naval Meet has been
down in the far South-Pacific and paid
its beat and most sincere respects to
New Zealand and Australia and by th?
people of those countries been received
and feted with an enthusiasm so sincere
and genuine that it ha? iung clear and
stong above that of all other places
visited -even our own. It will be noted
in this connection?all the world has
noticed It? th?t the ships of war of
America went away down there direct
from America, with no stops not
necessary, and by special and earnest
invitation from those distant people.
The manner of the reception was so
"different" that all the world has
lifted its eyebrows and taken on "the
pale cast of thought." All the world
sees some deep meaning In the fact
that half a million people stood all
night on the headlands under the shin
ing Southern cross, looking out to sea
with the chance of being first to see
tht darkening shadow on the skv ? 'ine
that would signal the coming of these
ships of war. which they meant to.wel
come with so much joy. All the world
understauds the significance of the
strange event? that it meant a sort of
swearing of eternal friendship without
the taking of a formal oath? which is
a way of forming a bond that binds
rather than merely frets, as is the case
with the written kind? a bond against
? common (understood but not stated}

menace.
And now the Meet has returned and is
today paying its respects to and being
feted by Japan with prodigal display of
goodwill. One of the manifestations
oi good will (according to the program
at least) was the lining up so far as pos
sible of the entire naval strength of the
>1 ikado, a display of strength greater
tbao that of the visitors. A force al
most as strong went far out to tea ? or
waa to go if not prevented by the storms
that hare prevailed? to meet thp Am
ericans. There is every expression of
good will being shown today and to be
reported every day of the stay over
there and then the fleet will come
away with, also, from Japan, a God
speed for the departing guests.
But the world marks the distinction
!o the "difference" referred to. Those
Kofllsh colonies away down In th?
south seas are divided from tbelr Wind
by thousands of miles of ocean, their
nearest neighbors art; dark orientals
In swarming mllliocs. These colonies
are young and ambition* but unequal
to this condition and deeply feel their
isolation. Far away as Kngland is
they are further away from America
but America is on their side of the
hemisphere, at ieast, and they "feel
that they know us better." It Is this
that made them press their Invitation
upon ua and to express their
keen pleasure at our acceptance.
This spirit is breathing all through the
"Fleet-Visit-Number" of the Auckland
Weekly News which has come to hand
just as the fleet is entering the harbor
?t Yokohama. This is a la 'ge GS page
edition Illustrated in handsome shape
and wiih great double page pictures of
the fleet, pictures of exciting street
scenes showine a city buried in bunt
ing and flying from the housetops
banners of welcome that were sent
from every town and hamlet in the
Islands. This paper, in its mere ap
pearance, is token of what the people
of New Zealand feel the visit to mean
to them. tJut a few paragraphs from
its "Foreword" will better convey an
Idea than all the many words that
the host of newspaper and magazine
correspondents have flooded us with.
This, for instance? this is the opening
word:
"The visit to New Zealand of some
of the war vessels of the United States
is as great an event in oar history as
vu the first visit of the intrepid voy
ager Captain Cook." It need not be
pointed out that this is going some.
"The trend of Empire, it has been
said" continues the forword, "is west
ward and it is no longer who is to rule
?I 11^^ "Igir !??? ?,! rt-*MH*Whw
in lh- Mcditcrrcau or to be master of
the Atlantic, but who is to dominate
the Pacific." Devoting a column to a
recital of the "mistakes" made by the
mother country in the Pacific, the
foreword says on:
"The visit of the American fleet
emphas zes tne fact that the United
States is not going to take any second
ary position in the Pacific." Recount
ing our positions of strength It contin
tinues, "We are further fiom America
than our fellow citizens of Britain,
but I feel that we know tbe Americans
better and like them more than our
British kin do. We have read tbe
masterpieces of literature that the
States have produced. When in Aus
tralia and New Zealand we discussed
federal matters to who did we go for
light and leading but to Hamilton, Mad
ison, Jay, Franklin, Jefferson and
others, who were founders of the
states. Who of our reading public are
unacquainted with Hawthorne, Lowell,
Irving. When two people drink of
the same Pierian spring, a com
radship is created that politicians can
not destroy. But this comradeship is
not fed only by literature. In tbe
cords that have drawn us together
there is a red strain. It is said that
the stat.es were fouoded by the quarrel
between the two Georges? 'our
George' and 'their George'? But who
was "our George f ' Was it not George
Washington?"
Pretty straight conversation this,
Kh '/?set down in cold type? an edi
torial of the leading newspaper of
New /.ealan 1.

Rumor and Philosophy
By DUNCAN M. SMITH
? ? ?
NOTHING DOING FOR HIM.
No person lows a quitter.
On looking you will Hnd.
Unless ho qul'.s his meanness
Or something of tliui kind.
Tlu< quitter may L>o noisy
Till sonic one calls his bluff.
Ho ducks then, nml the stayer
Proceeds to take the stuff.
In piling up a fortune.
In winning out a niaUl, ,
In getting a position.
In working at a trade
In fact. In any calling
Or task? It will be found
The quitter Isn't In It
With thosu who stick nround.
Though In at the beginning.
With prospects that arc full.
Backed up by papa's money
And something of n pt'll.
The outlook may be rosy
For any largo amount.
But If he Is a quitter
The outlook doesn't count
So. children, be a slnvor
If you would cop the prize
And win success or something
Much like It in disguise.
Keep bravely plugging at It
In season and in fact,
And some time ready money
Will rush to praise the act.
Poor Job.
"See that shabby looking party yon
der'/"
"That last year's bird's nest?"
"The same. Well, he Is a seeoiul
cousin to the great financier M. Jler
pon l'orgon."
"Might have kuowu It. Beiug sec
ond cousin to a millionaire Is about
the least nourishing occupation a man
can work at."
Sure Indication.
"Hard times must have lilt the
wealthy. 1 understand there are many
secondhand automobiles on the mar
ket."
"Still, that is uo sure sign."
"Where Is there a better one?"
"You might Inquire around and see j
if the Newport monkeys are having as
many banquets as usual."
Cautious.
'Will you love me whon I'm old.
Love me more and more each year?"
"That depend*." ho whimpered low.
"Will you then have money, dear?"
Easy Way.
"They killed him by kindness."
"You don't say."
"Yes. they told him he could borrow
their auto any time he wanted It."
Retort.
'You tell all you know."
1 still hold a slight edge over you."
'Indeed!"
'Yes. for I know all I tell."
Been Thero?
WVion you're seated In the street ear,
Placid, cool ml quite at ease.
Comes k \v.>man wide and solid
And without an "If you please"
Plants herself upon the car seat
Which erstwhile you'vo occupied.
Crowds tlKht against the panel.
Takes the comfort from your ride.
Why. oh. why will heavy women.
Wide and ample, stout of girth.
With a nv.isly little nickel
Cet an option on the earth.
Smile with vapid, sleek contentment,
While in agony you squirm,
Quite efface your slim proportions
An.l then treat > " i like u worm?
PERT PARAGRAPHS.
It seems a lot more to their taste
for some people to talk about them
selves than to pay their debts.
Self satisfaction, while extremely
comforting to the Individual, can't see
Its way clear to extend Its sphere of
Influence.
If bralu power were stimulated half
as easily as self conceit, we would In
deed be a marvelous people.
You can't expect an all round crook
to know very much about a square and
straight deal.
A stick o t dynamite placed under a
man will guarantee his rise In the
world, but it Is not recommended as
pleasant during the heated term.
