Helpful All Round

tR EDWARD BARTON, prem
.sMlllA nifrf fof the Australian Fedora
\s,.,I'stion, believes that the Morgan
~, ship combination is IA very
scDdcthing for England. A good thing
undoubtedly it Is for both countries,
financially, politically and commercial
ly. Financially, because Great Britain
Is the recipient of an immense sum of
money which will naturally be en-
ployedins expanding and fortifying her
Industrial activities; a good thing for
the United States in that we have be-
come possessed of magnificent fleet
which will form the nucleus of our
maritime industrial independence. The
political Importance of the acquisition
of the paladin of finance is not so obvi-
Gus, but 1t Is none the less real. The
International association between Great
Britain and the United States does not
rest upon sentiment. but upon mutual
reciprocal obligation Sentiment, ia
be sure. counts for much; but In the
long run 1t must be reckoned subor-
ainatesfto the capillary attraction of
buying and selling, which keeps the
arteries, and the veins of the life of
nations in healthy and natural con-
6ition. a"i 'f ta,
England is our Oldest and most profit
able customer. We have no wish TO
see her eclipsed either as a great power
Or a. great Industrial country. 1t is
one Of the most delusiye fallacies of
narrow minds and obfuscated tradi-
iionssthat the increasing wealth of one

a paradox Of the humane purposes
which actuated his emancipation.

Here Is an excerpt from the presl-
dents Labor day speech Mt Rutland,
VT, which Is worthy of remembrance:
our complex Industrial civilization
means that we cannot rely as we for
merly could upon such simple methods
as suffice while men are brought close
together with their relations neXtric-
ably interviewer. We must meet the
new conditions, where necessary meet
them by legisation-if Legislation cam
not serve then meet them by combina-
tion among ourselves as you here bear
ing the banners in this procession have
met them. Much of great good can
come by such associations, something
can be done through wise legislation,
but do not forget. gentlemen, in the last
resort you cannot find Il substitute for
Il mans own energy, resourcefulness,
skill. courage. and honesty Work
through association in combinations
with your fellows. but do not, under
any circumstances. let any man lose
his own capacity for self-help.' In
other words, put the man above the
union.

~HE BROOKLYN millionaire
who endowed SO iavishly and
l. luxuriously the Baldwin ex-
pedition to the North Pole
has not even the poor satisfaction of
knowing that the attempt proved abor-
tive through no lack of strenuous
effort. Mr.. Baldwin was provided with
all the paraphernalia for the journey
that a century of the experience Of
others could suggest. No other eX-
plorer faced the hyperborean rigor
within the Arctic circle with larger
or healthier pack OF the Indispensable
Esquimaux dogs. He had tons upon
tons Of food which all the discoveries
OF preservative art or chemical science
could supply. The members of the ex-
pedition were Mr.. Baldwn's own selec-
tion and upon his Judgment alone
rested the responsibility for their etficI-
ency and behavior So much, or rather
so little. for his preparations. We must
now turn to the cause Of its ridiculous
failure, SO far as they have been re-
vealed.
In the first place, Mr.. Baldwin was
to reach the North Pole and nail the
Stars and Stripes on it's vertable apex
Nothing else would do. No meaner
success This was not scientific ex-
peditiOn. That is to say, it was to be
first and foremost emblematic of the
large enthusiasm of American adven-
ture The next mortal who reached the
North Pole was to find it staked out as
Baldwin's Heights. Peary, Nunsen,
Jackson, to mention only cOntemporar
were particular to insist that while
they aimed to reach the highest luti-
tude possible or even the Pole itself.
they were primarily prompted to i'm
peril their lives and to endure the in
calculable hardships OF the journey in
the interests of science. and the scien-
tif1c world is immea surably indebted to
them for their observations and dis
coveries. Now where they so admir-
ably succeeded in their commendable
ambition, Baldwin in his egregious
pretensiOns absolutely failed.
Mr.. Baldwin seemed to have begun to
lurch on sea OF trouble before the
prov of his ship had quite turned
northward from Aberdeen. He was
right undoubtedly in insisting upon be-
ing regarded. or addressed IL necessary.
rs the plenary leader of the expedition
nut the man n such position who
could not keep from quarreling with
the commander of his ship over these
ceremonial matters before he had
reached the point of his departure over
the frozen seas had much better have
stayed at home.

JOHN NELSON is
WELL KNOWN HERE
Was Once Principal in an IN
pleasant Scene in Richmond.
Charges Against Him.

John Nelson alias c. B. Lewis. who
now awaits trial at Norfolk upon four
charges-grand larceny. abduction, be-
trayal and enticing hfteen-year-old Myr-
tie Joyno from her home for the pur-
pose of defauling-was the principal in
an unpleasant scene in this city on last
thanksgiving day. Nelson was known in
tnls city, posed as a man of strict reli-
sious and temperate character and by
MS atfabie manner won his way into
the hearts and homes of several fami-
lies OF this city. None suspected that
beneath his Sleeps clothing there dwelt
the heart and purpose of a wolf
On the particular occasion referred to
Nelson was the guest at Thanksgiving
Gay dinner at the home of an estimable
resident on North Sixth Street, in this
city. Around the table sat the family
Nelson and several guests. among them
two ladies who had only become ac
| Guainted with Nelson just before the
repaSt The conversation during the
meal was largely upon religious subjects,
upon which Nelson appeared perfectly
conversant. at the arrival of the time
for the dessert to be served an elegant
dish of old Virginia mince meat was
brought in. The host was in the act of
serving it when Nelson suddenly jumped
up from his seat and exclaimed: Any
one who eats that mince meat. seasoned
as it is with sherries, is not a Christian
nor a fit disciple of temperance.
The host, his family and their guests
were Mortified. a male member of the
family. unable to control his anger and
the insult offered the ladies present. re-
scented the remarks and asked Nelson
to leave the house. He did not out put
his sauve manners into action and dip
Dramatically turned off the insult by de
clarns his speech was intended as an
admonishment OF a lady friend who was
| present and was a member of the same
temperance lodge to which he belonged.
Nelson never visited the home again.
and it was only q short time after tnat
the family learned of his alleged double
life.

HIS RECORD AT GOLF
Brief, Assault by Stout Man on the
Game al Van Cortland Park.

"A stout man carrying a dress suit case
entea sd the clubhouse at the Van Cort-
lanG't Park golf links the other afternoon
Ten minutes later he emerged in spotless
hannelS. carrying a, set of5new golf clubs.
Wi thout cadde or companion he walked
over to the first tee and with scrupulous
care built a neat cone of wet sand. On tor
of this he placed q, golf ball, the snowy
Wilderness of which proved that 1t had
had no acquaintance with a, club
Petaling off his flannel coat the man
rolled up his sleeves. displaying q. muscu-
lar arm to the few people interested
eno Ugh to watch him. Then he took, I,
posi- don which was all that form de
marrded, mads a mighty swing-and
A puzzled expression crossed his face.
He examined the ball, then examined the
cone.
Z inaliy he put both back in place, got
in position again and made another swing.
Thu result was the same. The base OF the
club passed two inches above the ball
The man looked troubled. 1t was rather
grief than evaporation that came across
his. face.
when a third trial resulted like the first
two he scratched his head a. moment, and
tn en- without aim or any delay made
fourth vicious swing. The CLUB didn so
ckbse enough even to fan the ball from Its
seven times in all did the man swing
at the ball. and not once did he hit IT.

cacy and his case was continued. Thomas
Coleman did not fare SO well, and went
to Jail for sixty days.
Mrs. Frank Diggs accused Norman
Walton OF cursing her. The testimony
was such that Justice Crutctfeld post
roned the hearing until this morning.
