"dare." These papers ride high
horse and shout defiance at the
powers of the old world which have
the temerity to send naval forces to
the coast of the western continent
with menace. They remind the
captains of the war ships that Ad-
miral Dewey is within sound of
their guns and if they get too fresh
he will bring his squadron of "Holy
Terrors" and serve the British and
Germans as he did the Spaniards in
Manila bay. Such talk is bragga-
docio; it is puerile twaddle; it is
foolishness.
In the first place there is no occa-
sion for such talk inasmuch as both
the British and German govern
ments assure us that they have no
intention of interfering with us, nor
to do anything in South America
that will infringe upon the applica-
ton of the Monroe Doctrine even in
accordance with our own interpre-
tation of it, and what they have on
hand with Venezuela is none of our
business. In the second place we
are not in condition to court
trouble with the great powers of
Europe. True we have some good
ships, ships of which we are justified
in cherishing pride, but we haven't
enough to warrant a victory in a
fight with Germany, not to mention
France, Russia and Great Britain.
The latter country is easily mistress
of the sea, and will remain so for
years. England has IA IS war ships
and 248 torpedo boats, the fleet
carrying 1o,34o cannon, nearly as
great as that of all other nations
have. Senator Stewart says it will
require two generations for us to
build such navy. In the meantime
let us behave ourselves. 1t is cheap |
er than il is to get clicked" and in
the long run much more satisfactory. |

1t is a great satisfaction to know
that all citizens Of this republic, re-
CARELESS of what party they affiliate
with, are equally patriotic. AS
against the world we are united.
This is manifest in the general de-
mand for a strong navy. Cleve-
lands first administration started to
boom the navy, and subsequent adj
administrations, both Democratic
and Republican, have advanced the
policy of a strong navy. All recog-
nize the fact that great navy is the
bulwark of our straightforward.
We fear no foreign invasion of our
territory. No European army, no
matter how formidable, can ever
gain even temporary foothold
here. But our influence abroad and
the safeguard of our commerce de-
ponds on the adequacy of our navy.
We want navy as big as the big
gest. Why not?

a cause for congratulation that the

sentiment we fail to grasp the op-
portunity for our advantage and to

This Office acknowledges the re-
ceipt of a copy of the biennial report
ofthe Secretary of State-IooI-Ioo2.
The report contains the financial
account-of receipts and disburse-
ments of the state together with
considerable statistical matter of
general interest. Among other
things list of marriages and births

list it appears that ia 1900 the num-
Der of marriages reported was 49,

The United States is a party in a
number of permanent international
enterprises of charitable or scien-
tific character. In these societies
nearly all the nations of Europe are
concerned. Among these are: the
Hague Commission court of in
ternational arbitration; the interna-
tional bureau for the publication of
custom tariffs; the international
prison commission; the international
geodetic associatiorv-for the meas
urement of the earth; a commission
to suppress the African slave trade
an international bureau of weights
and measures. The cost of this
country's share in the support of
these organizations is about 100000
annually.

Action and Success.

1t is only the strenuous life that
counts. A purpose, high endeavor,
and consuming industry are needed
to bring results of value. What an
inspiring example is President
Roosevelt of this strenuous, striding,
exultant and successful life While
he does no public act without de1ib-
Grafton, he has SO disciplined his
mind as to be able to act quickly
and wisely. Such man will make
few mistakes and still keep on the
high road of constant progress. He
can give good counsel and demon
strate his teachings by virtue of a
public life rich in accomplishment.
To young men especially should his
teachings be an inspiration to action.
His words are clarion calls to duty.
They inspire courage with the pre-
sage of victory. The excerpt given
below from speech the President
made at Detroit this last fall is an
example.
"I believe in the future not in a
spirit which will sit down and look
for the future to work itself out
but with determination each of us
to do his part in making the future
what it can and shall be made. We
are optimists. We spurn the teach
ings of despair and distrust. We
have an abiding faith in the grow
ing future, of the mighty young
nation still in the flush of its youth
and yet already with the might of
giant which stands on a continent
and grasps an ocean with either
hand. Succeed? Of course We shall
succeed. How can success fail to
come to race of masterful energy
and resolute character, which has a
continent for the base of its domain
and which feels within its veins the
thrill that comes to generous souls
when their strength stirs in them
and they know that the future is
theirs. No great destiny ever yet
came to nation whose people were
laggards or faint-hearted.
"No great destiny ever yet came
to people walking with their eyes
on the ground and their faces
shrouded in gloom. No great des.
tiny ever yet came to people who
feared failure more than they hoped
for success. With such as these we
have no part. We know there are
dangers ahead, as we know there
are evils to fight and overcome, but
we feel to the full the pulse of the
prosperity which we enjoy. Stou
of heart, we see across the dangers
the great future that lies beyond
and we rejoice as giant refreshed
as a strong man girt for the race
and we go down into the arena
where the nations strive for mastery
our hearts lifted with the faith tina
to us and our children and oul
children's children it shall be giver
to make this republic the greatest 0
all the peoples of mankind"

How it Works at Trenton.

Prophets of evil, who predicted
calamity for the town when the sale
of whisky was stopped, are not in
evidence now. The town has not
been hurt but has been benefited.
Money that was spent for whiskey
by those who could ill-afford to
spend it is now spent to benefit
wives and children. Men who never
came to town on public days and
went home sober, now come and re-
turn to their families sober and hap
ply. The frequent broils and fights
that went to make up ''first Mon
day. are now things of the past.
Three months without saloons in
Trenton is enough to convince the
most skeptical that the open saloon
is curse to any community. -Tren-
ton Herald Dem ocrat.

monument in Union Cemetery Sun
day afternoon, erected to the memo
ry of the late julius Crawford.
The beautiful ceremony of the ritu
al was followed and was witnessed

Mrs. w. ]. Savage. The poem,
..Why Should the Spirit of Mortal
be Proud?", was recited gracefully
and impressively by Miss Pearl
Savage. Sovereign j. A. Foster
delivered the address and his re-
marks were appropriate. He re-
ferred feelingly to the many virtues
of the deceased, who was one of
most active members of the Camp,
whose numerous deeds of charity
and kindness will ever be cherished
andwhose honorable, upright life is
we'll worthy of emulation. Quite
number of handsome floral offerings
we're placed upon the grave.
The monument is made of the
finest Georgia marble, is six and
one-half feet high, represents the
