ity to a foremost place among the
world powers, must necessarily find
more and more that it has world
duties also.
There are excellent people who be-
! lieve that we can shirk these duties
and yet retain cur self-respeot, but
these good people r in IT
Other good people seek to deter us
from treading the path of hard but
lofty duty by bidding US remember
that all nations that have achieved
greatness, that have expanded and
played their part as world powers,
have in the end passed away. So
they have; so have all others:
The weak and the stationary have
vanished as surely as and more rap
idly than those whose citizens felt
within them the life that impels gen
erous souls to great and noble effort.
This is another way of stating the
universal law of death, which is it,
self part of the universal law of life.
The man who works, the man who
does great deeds, in the end dies as
surely as the veriest idler who cum
beers the earth's surface, but he leaves
behind him the great fact that he
has done his work we'll. So it is with
nations. While the nation that has
dared TO be great, that has had the
will and the power to change the
destiny of the ages, in the end mEst
die. Yet no less surely the nation
that has played the part of the weak
ling must also die, and whereas the
nation that has done nothing leaves
nothing behind it, the nation that
has done a great work really con
tinues, though in changed form, for
The Roman has passed
away exactly as all nations of an
Biquity which did not expand when
he expanded, but their very memory
has vanished, while he himself is
still a living force throughout the
wide world in our entire civilization

through countless generations,
through untold ages.
WE ARE IMPELLED TO OUTWARD 10

1t is because we believe with all
our heart and soul in the greatness
of this country, because we feel the
thrill of hardy life in our veins and
are confident that to us is given the
privilege of playing a leading part in
the century that has just opened,
that we hail with eager delight the
opportunity TO do whatever task
Providence may allot US. We admit
with all sincerity that our first duty
is within our W household that
we must not merely talk, but act, in
favor of cleanliness and decency and
righteousness in all political, social
and civic matters. No prosperity
and no glory can save a nation that
is rotten at heart. We must ever
keep the core of our national being
sound and see to it that not only our
citizens in private life, but, above
all, our statesmen in public life,
practice the old commonplace virtues
which from time immemorial have
lain at the root of all true national
we'll being. Yet while this is our
first duty it is not our whole duty.
Exactly as each man, while doing
first his duty to his wife ard the
children within his home, must yet,
if he hopes to amount to much, strive
nightly in the world outside his
home, so our nation, while first of all
seeing to it's own domestic we'll be.

it's part among the great nations
without.

LABOR.

Labor day brings out a strong Ameri-
can element which is III refreshing con-
trast with, the dominant labor of the
group. Without it we should be at the
mercy of the Orientals; with it we have
dependable working class which may
be trusted, withal, to guard the ark of
the American covenant in these islands.
To increase the numbers of those who
celebrate this day is one of the highest
duties of our craftsmanship. Hawaii
needs all the white skilled labor it can
support and ought to support all it gets.
The Advertiser, though believing that
the American citizen Is not fit to be-
come a peasant of the cane fields and
that the hewing of wood and the draw
ing of water is the function of a servile
class, believes with equal tenacity that,
In the skilled trades and mechanic arts,
the American should have the right of
way here as elsewhere under the flag.
It would welcome a law denying the
right of Asiatics to carry on trades any
where in the United States and denying
the right of people living in the United
States to teach them trades. Such a
law would add materially to the white
American population of this group with
out disturbing the foundations upon
which rests the prosperity of all our
people. capitalist and laborer alike.

The COURTS
Chida Released on Habeas Corpus
and Rearrested : No
Courts Today,

Habeas corpus was given another bad
twist in Circuit Court Saturday and the
old game of hide-and-seek between the
Attorney-Generafs department and
Judge Gear still continues.
Chida MaHzaboro, the Kahuk,1 rioter.
is the instrument of ,iIe capers between
court and prison. and Saturday morning
he was before Judge Gear IN an effort
to regain his freedom on a third writ of
habeas corpus. Attorney Brooks appear
ed for Chida, and argued that the pris-
oner was entitled to his liberty, having
once been released upon the charge for
which he was now in custody Mr.
Carhcart objected to a hearing and ask
ed continuance until he could prepare
for trial. but this was refused by the
Court, who offered to call special grand
jury to consider the cases of these rlen
To this Mr.. Cathcart would not con-
sent, and. the matter Went over until the
noon session.
At the appointed hour the Court grant
ed the petitioner his freedom and init
mated that no more arrests on the same
charge would be tolerated.
Chida was rearrested upon leaving the
court house, as being an accessory to
the murder, of which he was formerly
convicted as principal
Another application was made Satur-
day for q writ of habeas corpus for
George Wade, the negro who killed the
steward on the Australia. He will with
out doubt be released by Judge Gear en-
the same grounds as were given for the
discharge of Chida, and will also be re-
arrested. He pleaded guilty at the first
trial to a charge of manslaughter in the
first degree, and may on his new hearing
have to stand punishment for murder
in the first degree.
CASE AGAINST LUND DISMISSED.
The case against John Lund, first mate
of the bark Foohng Suey, was dismissed
Saturday by Commissioner Robinson,
upon the motion of United States Attor-
ney Baird. Lund was charged with as
sauit upon the high seas in four different
complaints but the evidence against
him was SO conflicting and unsatisfactory
that Attorney Baird thought his con-
viction under the circumstances to be
impossible. The witnesses against him
either knew nothing of the alleged as
saults or would not tell what they did
know.
NO COURT TODAY
There will be no session of court today,
either Federal or Circuit, as Labor Day
Is a legal holiday. Tomorrow the habeas
corpus case is set for Judge Estee's
court, and the constitution and flag will
be given another turn.

TAUGHT BIRDS TO SING TUNES

An oldtime Philadelphia barber train
ed dozens of young canarieS to sing
tunes, and some of them had quite eX-
tensive repertoires. He used to have a
little hand organ that played Yankee
Doodle Home, Sweet Home" Dixie
and other familiar melodies. With the
aid of this he would spend hours with
his birds, displaying a patience that
was little short of marvellous. Grad
ually the birds would acquire the
various airs until they would sing
them, without the accompaniment of
the organ. Many persons were attract
ed to the shop by these birds, and when
a good offer was made he would sell
them. lie never. however, got $1,000
for one, or anything approaching that
sum.

HIS ROYAL FLUSH SAVED HIM

There was a big game of poker in
progress at a New York hotel the other
night The game had lasted for hours
and finally the players decided to stop,
after a last "jackput'' had been played.
A well known lawyer did not draw any
cards. He had been a heavy loser all
evening. Finally the betting narrowed
down to the lawyer and another man,
until there was $1,000 on the table.
When the call came the lawyer laid
down a royal flush. The other fellow
had two jacks and a heavy heart.

w. j. SHELDON DEAD.

Mr.. Sheldon died Sunday evening
at the home Of his daughter, Mrs. W
T. Brown and was buried in Elmwood
cemetery, Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Sheldon was one OF the pioneer
of this vicinity and this county. He
came to Neosho county in 1859, and
has lived here ever since. He owned
good farm on the bottom just east
of town, and considerable town prop
erty. Mr.. Sheldon's life work was
a success. His only ambition in life
seemed to be to make money. He
succeeded remarkably well as the val
liable property he left behind will at
test. Nature dealt kindly with him
He lived out the three score and ten
allotment in almost full possession OF
his faculties and powers. He only be-
gan to fail some two or three years
ago. at his death he was 10 years
old.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The prevailing complaint has at
tackled the teachers Of our schools and
spirit of INSTRUMENTATION seems to
have attacked the pupils.
The school board has taken hold of the
matter and are forcing rigid quaren-
tine against four or five Of the most
refractory.
Prof. Abbott filled vacancy in the
the third ward last Friday but the
pupils made life so unbearable for him
that he stepped out with one days
trial and the room was turned over to
Mayor Roe. after five Of the ringlead-
ers were suspended.
We are inclined to think If Mr.. Roe
had full use of both arms he would
simply pitch three or four of the I'M
ruly ones out of the window and set
tie the matter.

hold of the matter with firm hand.

The HERALD has no words to say
against the character and reputation
OF the gentleman on the republican
ticket who is running for commission
er in the third district. AS a gentle
man and good citizen he is alright
so far as we know. But on the other
hand, the populists have placed an ex-
ceptionally good man before the vo-
tiers. John Hageman who has served
the people for two years as county
commissioner, stands before the tax
payers with an unblemiShed social,
official and political career. His rec
ord is the best recommendation that
can be given him. The voters all
know John Hageman as he has served
them so honorable, obliging and faith
full, that words Of commentator from
the HERALD or any other source
seems unnecessary; yet we cannot re-
frain from paying him such compli-
mentS as he has SO honorably earned
We hope to see him reelected by an
overwhelming majority.

The populists of the third district
made no mistake at the Hillside con-

Hageman is man of exceptional alb

regarded for years as leading citizen
OF Granite township. The taxpayers
Of his district should bear in mind
that there is no Office in Phillips
county of any more Importance than
commissioner, and as Hageman has
the ability, moral courage and
strength of will power to stand by the
right, in face Of opposition, he is most
essential for the position, as the
voters OF the third district know.
