character. The richest age ought to be
the most spiritual age.
The substance Of the peach comes from
the soil. but the blush and perfume and
the dripping juices come from the invis-
fble elements OF the air. The basis OF
national prosperity comes from farm and
factories and comforts and conveniences
and houses and ships. But the glory OF
the nations life Is It's character and
manhood. And these are spiritual.

DEVELOP MANHOOD.


The only way to develop the civiltza-
tion on the outside is TO develop manhood
on the inside. Would you have books?
Strengthen the reason. Would you have
pictures. Waken the Imagination. Would
you have laws? Stir the sense OF justice
Would you have tools? Rouse the IN
ventive faculty. And these truths that
appeal to reason and to love and cons
cience and seh-sacrifice. these stimulants
that the preachers hold and use are the
most powerful stimulants for the pro-
duction of. great civilization known TO
the world.
And this is our task. the keeping alive
in mems minds the sense OF the presence
of God. the spiritualization OF things
that are material. the maintence at
tho old convictions OF honor and truth
and duty and patriotism
Our fathers founded our institutions
and handed them over to us. Our task
IL to guari these institutions to use
them for the manufacture OF manhood
OF good quality, and TO hand these In
stkT.ons unimpaired 10 another genera
ton.
II Is a little thing that We are increased
In goods. II our sons decay. IL is OF
small consequence that our towns are
crowded with stores, and our stores are
stuffed with goods. or that our goods
oNeTtdN the snspS, III all THESE things on
the outside bother men and character
within.
We do not have 10 ask the good God for
material treasure. He has already grant
ed that in abundance. Rather is IL ours
to ask Him for the strength TO dedicate
orselves anew TO the work that our faith
ers began.
To care for the American home and
keep its ideals bright: to care for the
churcn and spread His truth among all
new peoples; to care for His day and
keep the Sunday as the souls library day
and gallery day and day OF brooding: to
keep alive in men the sense OF God and
His loving providence. OF Christ and His
redemptive mercy; the sense OF duty, the
sense of sin. the sense of sympathy and
self-sacrifce and the hope of immortal
ity.
And so long as we uphold the faith OF
our fathers, love their institutions and
spread manhood among the people that
long will our institutions continue firm
az the mountains and stars. and all the
families OF the earth will look TO the
as their educator and their lead
er in liberty. And so through us i'm this
new land shall all the families OF ire
earth he blessed.

A Victim of Labor Trouble.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-John Osukowskwi
was shot and MORALLY wounded last
night when passing the American Hide
and Leather Company works. He ran
few steps after being shot and dropped
dead. As he fell he shouted he had
been shot by strikers and the police are
working on the theory that he is the vic
tim of some labor trouble. At his home
it is asserted that he had probably been
killed by one of his fellow workmen in a
trunk factory. The fact that Osukow-
skwi had $50 and a check for 81, 800 in
his possession is evidence, the police say,
the motive was not robbery.

SENATOR HANNA's Presidential boom
refuses to subside, and suspicious Of the
Senator'S purposes are shown openly by
the President and by most of his friends.
This is in spite of Mr.. Hanna's prostest-
atoms that be will not be candidate
for nomination, and recent assertions
from both the President and the Senator
that there is no misunderstanding be-
tween them. President Roosevelt is in
vestigating matters for himself, for he
can but see that the tide ofpublic opinion
is running strongly against him. Senator
Hanna is saying nothing. He appears
to be getting amusement out of thesitna-
ton and to grow more genial with the
increase of the suspicion with which he
is regarded by the Roosevelt men.

ALTHOUGH republican members have
introduced measures in both houses OF
Congress looking to an investigation Of
the Postoffice Department frauds, it is
plain that their purpose is to stave of
the investigation and have it entirely in
the hands of 'its friends. =" They are
evidently afraid to let all the facts in
the matter be made public on the eve OF
a presidential election, and besides, there
are others "higher up" than those al
ready implicated who may become in
voIyed in the scandal.

the officials who drew up and signed and

THE Navy Department officials claim
that the landing of United States marines
on the isthmus of Panama is JUSTIFIED
by the orders cabled Rear Admiral Glass
last Thursday to take every means to
prevent the invasion of the isthmus by
Colombia. Now that the Panama canal
treaty has been ratified by the Panama
Junta, it is held by the administration
that to all intents and purposes the
canal strip is the property OF the United
States and that this country is justified
in taking every means in its power to
prevent Colombia from making any
hostile movement on the isthmus OF
Panama. The placing OF a consider
able body of troops at strategic point
on the isthmus is not likely to 60 I'M
observed by Colombia, however, and the
strained relation between that country
and the United States will thus be in
creased.

May Establish Dreyfus's Innocence

Paris, Dec. "a staff officer con-

10 an interview that Minister of War
Andre had ascertained that the accom-
plice Of Colonel Esterhazy, who was re-
sponsible for the altering of bordeau ia
the Dreyfus case, and for other forgeries
in the caseis civilian. As aresult ofthis
disclosure when the revision of the
Dreyfus verdict is ordered, the officer
says, not only will Dreyfus' innocence be
unequivocally established, but that the
affair will cease to be an army scandal
and will become but an ordinary trial.

THE MORE evidence taken by the
Senate military committee concerning
General Wood the palmer is it shown
that he should never have been APP
pointed general in the army. Evl-
dence heretofore taken brought General
Woods integrity strongly into question:
and that given by Commander Young on
Monday shows him to be guilty OF du-
pljcity. Commander Young swore that
while in Cuba General Wood, though
protesting to be his friend, had him
Swallowed by detectives, and in reference
to his recall from the post at Havana
Young said be was assured by General
Wood that he was very sorry and unable
70 understand the order which had been
received from Washington, but that
when he arrived at Washington he
learned that the recall had been at the
suggestion of General Wood, and that
there is correspondence on file at the
War Department to prove the assertion.
