NEWSPAPER OPINION
No Backward Tracks
From the Now York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
An inspiring and particularly timely
note was sounded by the President on
Friday night in his brief address be-
fore patriotic society. He spoke OF
the men of distinguished achievements
in the past who did justice, as strong
men. not as weaklings," and of the
desirability of our following their ex-
ample and maintaining their ideals.
And then he reminded his hearers that
we can no more afford to show weak
ness than we can afford to do wrong.
Where wrong has been done by any
one the wrOngdoer shall be punished
but we shall not halt in our great work
because some man has happened TO do
wrong"
That was an uttorance of practical
common sense and OF high excellence.
and. as we have said it was most time
~ for the reason that just now some
seem inclined to think more Of the
evil that few have done than Of the
good work in which the many are en-
gagged. Il is unhappily quite true that
some men have done wrong. Their
names and deeds are still fresh in our
memory. Rathbone and Neely in
Cuba. are names to be recalled with
humiliation. Nor are these the only
ones whose conduct has brought re-
proach upon the American name. Yet
they are, after all, only few, and are
conspicuous only as exceptions to the
rule. II has been ever thus. The
President was speaking to the Sons Of
the American Revolution. 1t was not
necessary TO remind his hearers that
in the heroic days of the FATHERS Of
the Republic" there were a Conway
and q Gates and a Charles Lee and a
Benedict Arnold. But the Revolution
was not abandoned because Of these.
Washington did not turn back from his
Trenton campaign because of Gates
desertion. nor relinquish West Point
and the Hudson because OF Arnold's
treason. It would have been folly to
withdraw from Cuba because a clerk
or two went wrong. It would be in
credible haseness to refrain from do
ing good because evil has been done.
We shall yield precedence to no one
In ready and relentless condemnation
of evildoers, be they American or Gu
bans or Filipinos. Where wrong has
been done by anyone the wrongdoer
shall be punished" But We have no
admiration for and no sympathy with
those who can see. or who affect to
see, the spots upon the sun more clear
" than they see the sun iself. II
well to condemn and to punish the
two or three unfaithful administrators
in Cuba. But is is well. indeed in
dispensable, to remember also the
hundreds Of faithful, upright, unselfsh
men who have loyalty toiled and sac
rihced themselves for the honor OF
the American name and for the ad-
vancemnt of the best interests of an
alien people. We may condemn what
seem cruel and inhuman acts of a few
of our soldiers in the Philippies. But
It would be monstrOus injustice to ig-
more the bearing Of "the white mans
burden the patient labor, the tender
sympathy, the humane forbearance
amid all but intolerable provacation
of tens Of thousands of our fellow
Americans all through that archi,
pelago.

Funston and Hoar
From the Chicago Tribune.

from the chicago tribune.
The Presidents verdict in the case
of Brigadier-General Funston mani
festly is mot guilty. but do not do it
again. The description of Senator Hoar
as the possessor of an "overheated con-
science was altogether too felicitous
TO so unrebuked. 1t hit the nail square
ly on the head and drove it home.
Senator Hoar undoubtedly is a
Grand Old Man." but he has OF late
years been approaching dangerously
near the line which separates the
Grand Old Man" from the Grand Old
Nuisance" Senator Hoar is unQues-
tionably one of the wittiest and wisest
men of his time. but he has during re-
cent years become extremely self-opin-
iOnated and self-complacent, impatient
OF adverse argument or difference o.
! opinion. Sometimes the Senator forci
bly, reminds one of Mr.. Gladstone il
his later years, when il was said hi
cabinet conferences were prolonge,
lmonOlogues. He was testy and irri
table to such a degree that he coul,
not endure the slightest intimation O
dissent from his opinions to say moth
ing of actual opposition. 1t is not un
usual in great public men when the
approach the period of old age to be
/ come difficult to manage. They are S
! intolerant OF free discussion and dc
bate that in the council chamber the
must speak ex cathedra or not at all.

AT the Bala Country Clubs golf
links. near Philadelphia, on Wednes-
day afternoon, golf game was in
progress. when the caddie Of one Of
the players fell into a pond and was
about TO drown. The player threw off
his sweater, plunged in and brought
the dripping boy to shore and then re-
sumed his game. He won. too, as such
a person is apt to. If the gentleman's
game produces such characters, we all

Dover has a new paper, the Della

The nethermost depth of human de-
pravity was shown yesterday in the
cruel murder Of Paul Leicester Ford,
the novelist, by his own brother, who
then proceeded to take his own life.
The younger brother wanted money,
and this being refused, he deliberately
committed the crime. There is a
touching pathos and a heroism in the
dying words of the young novelist,
who said to his wife, Il want to die
brayely." No one could prepare for
him finer epitaph. It is a text upon
which sermons might be preached, and
shows the possibilities Of heroism
latent in humanity.

DELAWARE BEAUTIFUL NOW


One having an eye for the beautiful
need not travel far these days to have
his aesthetic taste gratifed. A trip
from Claymont through the State to
the Maryland border by carriage would
be a delight TO anyone wishing TO see
nature in all her freshness and prod
igality OF promise. All the hillsides
and valleys of New Castle are green
with verdure, with a sprinkling OF bios
SONS to give the final artistic touch;
while in Kent and Sussex the variety
Of plants covering the fields breaks the
monotony. Delaware is never more
charming than at this season of the
year. and it may be doubted whether
there is a more beautiful country any
whore.
In lower Delaware there are no jut
ling rocks. no hills but there is an oc
casional strip of woodland, and tn
orchards Of a wide variety Of foliag
help to break the monotony. At time
we travel afar and exclaim in ecstac
over that which is novel and strang,
when from our windows here at HON

quisite landscapes

OF bud and blossom and lush foliae

how il is that the national spirit OF

Germanizing Policy of the Prussian

paper on "The Degradation of the Pro-
fessional Office" brings to an end re-
markable series of criticisms of the
present academic situation, which is
also discussed in President c. L.

educational topics dealt with in this
number are "The Example of French In

Gle is contributed by Henry Gannett,

The republican mass meeting at Mesa last night was as well attended as the meeting at Tempe the night be- fore, and there was possibly even a larger crowd.

He spoke of the trusts as a consequence in part Of the loose cor poration laws of this territory and democratic states, which had given them powers beyond the control of the people without new legislation. Their power in the territory was almost un- limited, thanks to the carelessness with which the matter cf legislation had been handled by legislators. All the evil of the trusts could not.

Manila, October 1.-The Maciu Moros in Mindanao have offered but slight re- sistance to the column under Captain Pershing of the Fifteenth cavalry. After a series of skirmishes on Monday and Tuesday Of this week the Moros re- treated into six forts on the shores of the lake. When the courier left Maciu yesterday for Camp Wears Captain Pershing was preparing to assault the last Moro stronghold.
 The American column reached the former camp at Maciu on Sunday night On Monday the MCros opened fire or them with brass cannon and rifles from a series of new forts which have been erected since Captain Pershing's first visit to the place. A battery under Captain William $. McNair scaled ;. ridge commanding the position of the Mcros and shelled them out. Engineers under Captain Jay J. Morrow had con- structed a ttrail over a swamp fianking the Moros position. The men of Cap tain Pershing's column crossed the swamp by trail and captured and de- stroyed three of the Moro forts. The Moros stood but a short while and ran as soon as the artillery opened fire on them.

AN EYE-OPENER.
Didn't Believe it Possible that Coffee
 Was al Work

People often attribute their i'll health to some indiscretion in eating and change diet in the hope of recovering their wonted good health; finding no change for the better in their condi- tion. they are at a loss for the cause, never for moment thinking that the cup of coffee which they take in the morning is the true source from whence all their ills have come.
 A lady in Philadelphia had her atten- lion called to the pernicious working of coffee on the system by reading a little book on How to Live" She says,- Ut was truly an eye-opener to me. All the many symptoms of the nervous stage under which I had been laboring so long, were here directly traceable to coffee drinking. Especially was it shown to be responsible for the com plete breakdown of my nervous sys- tenn. which I had ascribed to many diff ferent causes and which had become SO great that my hands shook like that Of a toper whenever l carried things to my mouth or reached out to grasp anything. I found myself subject to frequent spells of despondency and gloom, a feeling of emptiness, with constant sour erucations.
 Now. like every slave to an inordi- nate appetite, I was loath to believe that my favorite morning and midday beverage was the true cause of all this nervous wretchedness.
 Having noticed the advertisements of Postum Food Coffee, I determined to test it, and purchased a package and had some prepared carefully as direct ed. l enjoyed my first cup immensely, and POstum has been my favorite drink ever since, and that is a year and a half ago. l had barely used it a week when l realized a general 'tone-up' of my system. First, my appetite i'm proved; next, I had no feeling of de- pressiOn for days together. and sen sation of comfort especially of my stomach, was noticeable. After a month, I was aware that my hands no longer trembled, my nerves were inn proved, and this improvement Contin- ued until l entirely recovered my health.
 Whenever I learn of a case of nervous prostra tion, dyspepsia, or stomach trouble among Friends and others, I al Cnce urge the abandonment of cof- fee as beverage and the use of Pos tum in it's stead. and I have yet to learn of single case in which it failed Of it's effects" Name given by PUstum Co, Battle Greek.
