The Beers Moral Courage.

"Englshmen feel something like pride
in Cronje, even as foe. In position
covering only square mile. hemmed IN
on all sides, circled with a chain of fire
from rife, Maxim and howitzer, played
on by lyddite, bursting in its own sickly
green light, his hastily built trenches
enfiladed by a stream of lead sweeping
down the river from the north bank.
Gen. Cronje still elects to fight. 1t is
magnificent courage"
This is what the. London Daily News
echoed wherever man has respect and
admiration for the stout heart which
weakens not even in the face OF fearful
odds. 1t may appear to some that
Cronje's resistance is useless; that 1t in
vites only unnecessary slaughter; that
It is waste Of many brave lives which
might be saved were not the Boer leader
recxlessly stubborn. Defeat is inevita-
BILE. humiliation probable, and this aw-
full martyrdom can but awaken SYM
pathy and admiration from every man
who reads the heroic story OF these dy-
ing patriots and their leader.
why did Cronje decide to endure this
merciless fire. cooped up as he was. with
the enemy on every side and no OPP
portunity to reply aggressively? The
reason is plain. The surrender OF the
Beers at the moment it was demanded
by Lord Kitchener and the British had
completed their fatal chain around them
would probably have meant a death
blow TO the Transvaal cause. The road
to Bloemfontein would have been made
clear. and the whole Orange Free state
left open to the advancing victors. A de-
lay of few days. or a day or few
hours. might enable part OF Joubert's
army or other Boer forces TO assemble
and offer resistance to the foes over
running the land. The advance must
be stopped at all hazards. II was nee
essary that there be delay, and in order
to gain 1t there was a wholesale offering
of lives as the purchase price.
True moral courage Is one of the rar-
est and most admirable OF virtues, and
II is something approaching this which
Cron1e and his men have shown. II Is
that ffrmness OF principle which enables
one to do what he deems to be his
duty, although his action may cali for
immense sacrifice and subject him TO
adverse criticism. 1t Is more than brav-
cry, which IL instructive and often
blind: 10 Ia feariessness coupled with
caution, Judgment and counting OF the
costs The stand OF the Beers was de-
liberate They realized the awful con-
sequences and were ready to take them.
II meant for themselves REIMBURSEMENT
of hope. and probably death: but they
were equal to the sacrifice. knowing that
81 was che only means to an end offer
Ing. and that their own annihilation
might bring salvation for the cause OF
their country, This is patriotism
which even an enemy Is forced to ad-
mlre.

acquaintance, would have been funny IL
it had not been so genuine. Must 1
go?" he asked. Ought to go? I love
life here in California I have no
thought even to go to my Japan again.
I can work here. can grow here. why
should l go to the East and be given
a BOOM What is this thing, to be
given 'boom?' Is 1T not to hurt the
work."
This is the simplicity Of inspired wis
dom. 1t is not very often in this work
a-day world that a poet gets chance
to decline a ready-made boom such as
the one Mr.. Markham might have re-
fused, had he been sufficiently Spartan:
but certain it is that all poets who
value the quality Of their output would
do well to ask with Yone Noguchi,
should similar temptation come their
way: What is this thing to be given
a boom7 Is 1t not to hurt the work."

Shortly after the opening there was
renewal Of the usual bear attacks. They

somewhat doubtful irtsmunh as there
were no evidence to show that any large

signal for an upward turn In the market
