EVERYTHING IN IT'S PLACE.

There is a time to eat and a
time to sleep, time to fight and a
time to take up the pillow, time to
pass resolutions and time not to
pass resolutions. While we appre-
ciate the feeling of the many loyal
members Of the community that
the Government should not keep in
its employ men whose disposition
toward the existing rule is open to
serious question, we hold that the
propriety of mandatory resoiu-
ton passed by a military company
at the present time is a matter
worthy of thoughtful study. We
believe there was nothing dictate
rial intended in the expression of
opinion made by Company
D, yet a resolution passed by
the unanimous vote of a military
company might be interpreted in a
different manner by those 30 dis
posed. It behooves the community
to beware of possibilities both here
and abroad. The Government will
undoubtedly ferret out each and
every one Of its enemies, and no
one is better able to decide when
and how this is to be done than
the officials themselves. There are
plenty of methods open. to let the
Government know the spirit of the
military other than resolutions, and
We would recommend careful con-
sideration before organizations
make haste to put their sentiments
before the public.

We Charge Less
For Perfect Work

than you have been used to paying for
inferior work right along.
AS a matter of fact, the ExPERT( p who
cleans your watch with pair of bellows
and crow-bar for so cents makes more
money than the honest workman who
does an honest job and charges an
honest price.
Because your watch is returned to you
running fairly well, it is no criterion that
it has been properly repaired. The great
annoyance attendant upon the repair
ing of watch, is that 90 out of 90 cannot
tell if the work is we'll done-but are
satisfied if the watch is keeping some
where near the correct time.
Who can see the jewel protruding half
way out of the plate, or worse, sunk down
through the plate, fastened in with q
little glue, or hammered in with sledge.
How often the EXPERT grinds off the
broken staff, sinks the Jewel q little
lower, tells you he has put in a new
staff and charges you little less than
tn g price and you go on your way rejoic-
ing. But some day you will discover the
fraud, such work cannot last long. It is
dear at any price, which you soon dis
cover to your sorrow.

sue. A Government exists which
must dispose of the matter 1t
must be sustained, even if it makes
an error, provided it acts honestly.
Let the man who breaches "ven-
geance," and the man who breaches
forgiveness" leave the issue to
those who have the serious, sad
and thankless task of deciding the
matter. The best and safest senti-
ment we can hold is that the Gov
eminent must be sustained, what
ever it's conclusions are. These
are not the times for falling out of
line.

THE BURDEN OF RESPONSIBILITY.

The recent revolt, so far az it
was open and armed, was quickly
suppressed, but pending investiga.
tions disclose the fact that the
agencies which created it are still
at work and menace the peace,
and justify the present course of
the authorities. We are yet in
days of grave anxiety as to the
future, so far as it may be infu-
enced or shaped by the pending
punishments for treason, and mis-
prision of treason. We do not,
and cannot, comment on the pro-
ceedings of the court martial. But
We are free to express our concern,
and the concern of responsible
men, in the polite and just dispo-
sition of the fate of the revoltere.
We must carefully look to our own
safety, hereafter, and we must,
also, keep in mind that we are,
owing TO circumstances, on trial
befo@ the world. Any error now
Committed may seriously affect us
at home and abroad.
While citizens are expressing
conflicting views on this subject,
and are rather impatient with each
others opinions, they must not for
get that the solemn responsibility
of decision Is upon the Govern
ment, and it cannot be shifted.
If, hereafter, in cooler moments, it
should be conceded that there has
been an error of judgment in the
matter, it is not the citizen who
has no immediate responsibility in
the case, who will be censured. In
the event of error, he will not
stand up and take the blame, but
will only be too swift to say that
"the Government should have
acted with more wisdom"
The final opinion Of a commun-
ity ID usually correct, but, before it
reaches that conclusion, there is
much webbing, ill-advised and in
judicious talk. The acts of COM
munities, done in moments of ex-
element, are the blunders of his
tory. Men and women run about
crying out, 1--WE must do so and
So" as if the solemn responsibility
ofdoing it was cast on them.

oUrspoKEN PRINCIPLE IS RESPECTED

Thomas C. Plat, of New York,
better known as "Boss" Plat, the
great Lam of the Empire State, has
called down an avalanche of criti-
cism upon his head through the
issuance of letter to the rural
Republican editors of the State In
which he maps out a policy for
them to pursue for the laudation of
the Republican party, the belittling
of DR.. Parkhurst's efforts, and
more particularly the protection OF
T. c. Plat from the epithet of a
political boss. It has not taken
very long for Mr.. Plat to discover
that this method of dealing with
and influencing editorial opinions
is not attended with signal success.
The aversion to wire-pullers In
New York State has not been en-
tirely confined to one party and
Mr.. Plat touched an unfortunate
spring when he tried to turn the
refectors of public opinion in order
to cast disparaging light upon DR..
Parkhurst and his work in other
words, to put into the mouths of
editors inclined toward Republic
canism, what he dare not openly
express himself.
The whole world admires a man
of principle, one who will not stoop
to playing into an opponents win
ming hand just so long as he can
make use of that winning hand
to keep his own interests well
protected. He who fights in the
open, backed by the courage
of his own convictions COM
mands the ready support of
friends and the respect, to say the
least, of his foes. Nothing is more
disgusting to the true democratic
spirit of republican form of gov
eminent than the man whose faint
hearted fear of possibly being on
the losing side leads him to put out
political feelers to do the disagree
Bile work, while he, we'll guarded in
the rear, pulls the wires, prepared
to desert his best friend should
public opinion for the time being
go contrary to his sentiments.
Money and a political pull, ire
spective Of principle, carry weight
for time, but honesty of purpose
is bound to come to the front. The
politician loses in the end who,
once his ambition is attained, turns
to cast disoredit on the source of
his success. The Republicans of
New York city, to say the least,
would now. be in the doldrums of
defeat but for the campaign of
publication inaugurated by DR..
Parkhurst. While we can appre-
ciate q mans desire to outwardIy
keep himself solid with both the
opposition and the followers
through whom he holds his power,
it is not an attitude whose path is
paved with strictest honor.
