-Emperor William wrote a poem

Emperor William wrote poem
once, which he submitted to a great
literary man who dined at the castle
for that purpose particularly. The
critic read it, and found his dual du-
ties in conflict. He had to advise an
amateur poet with an exceptional pow
er for resenting hostile comment. He
yielded only a very little to the ext
gencies of the situation. "This verse,
your majesty" he began, seems to
require alteration in certain respects"
The author took the manuscript and
conned it thoughtfully. Then his brow
cleared. "Why," he cried, as one see
ing a sudden light. Il have actually
not signed the poem. Give me a pen!"
And the only fault he saw in the work
was forthwith remedied.

Wires.

The city that now, with the example of
Baltimore's experience before 1t, permits
It's electric wires to remain above ground

Philadelphia newspapers puts the case In
commenting on the subject. There can be
no doubt Of the evil effect Of the wires in
Baltimore. They hampered the flremen at
every stage. especially at the outset, when
they had a chance to conquer the blaze
They menaced life and disabled some of
the fire-fghters including the chief of the
department. In fact, in the Judgment of
practically all observers Of the fire. and as
now uniformly proclaimed by the Balti-
more newspapers, they contributed directly
and heavily to the destruction of the city's
business district.
Probably one-tenth of one per cent Of the
total loss involved in the fire would have
sufficed to put the Baltimore wires under
ground. An investment of proportionate
sum In Philadelphia. in Boston, in Chicago,

Mr.. Bryan's Prize Offer.

1t is often asserted that Mr.. Bryan has
no sense Of humor. Perhaps not. about
some things. But what shall be said of his
offer of a prize of 500 for the best demo-
cratic platform for this year, the decision
to be rendered by committee of demo-
cratic newspapers all opposed to him and
his policies? If that is not humor what is
it? 1t is at the same time a fair and square
challenge. Mr.. Bryan outlines his platform
very frankly. He starts with the Kansas
City deliverance, and would add to that

The War News,

TIE war news from eastern Asia con-
tiulIes chiefly to affect the operations on
the sea, and the almost total lack of in
troops now strongly suggests yelled prep
arations for an encounter of magnitude on
land There have been persistent hints of
large bodies of troops of both armies NOV
ing toward the Yalu river. but no reliable
reports to that effect have come this way.
Communications with the scene of the op-
eracions are slow and uncertain, owing to
the seizure of cable and land lines by the
Japanese and the rigid censorship exer-
cised by the Russians.
On the sea the trend of events appears
to I've all the way of Japan with the single
exception of the destruction by Russian
waIships of Japanese merchantman. The
only significance of this confirmed report
Is the indication Ii conveys that the Rus
slams have at last managed to get their
great protected cruisers out of Vladivostok
harbor. where they were supposed to be
ice bound. If these cruisers are freely
roaming about In the Japan sea they may
do much damage to the coast towns and
the shipping before they return to vladivo-
stoil are attacked and crippled by the
japanese fleet. That the latter will at once

Personal Tax Law Amendments.

The weIl-intentioned. il as the event sug-
gests somewhat injudicious. efforts of the
District Commissioners to cure few of the
more obvious defects and fnjustices of the
personal tax law Of the District have re-
suited in a refusal by the House District
committee to assent to most of the changes
proposed by the Commissioners and to the
substitution in the measure of other altera-
tions of the existing law, not asked by the
Commissioners. which tend to make the
personal tax provisions more drastic and in
certain respects distinctly less equitable
than they stand today. The Commissioners
asked for bread and received a stone. The
District committee left undone the things
which it ought to have done, and did the
things which it should have omitted to do.
The people of the District find It hard to be-
lieve that the committee could have taken
this unjust and injurious action otherwise
than hastily and inconsiderately.

The Evil Of Worry.
From the Atlanta Constitution.


Doubtless there has been more or less
worry since Adam hid in the bushes, but 1t
is curious Observation-Disclosures, it may be
a psychological-fact that real worry, the
worry that has a definite cause, is not so
wearing as the imaginary worries that we
persist in taking to bed with US. We can
not rest and be busy at the same time, and
1t is not hard to guess what will happen to
tie brain that insists on fretting and worry
ing when it should be enjoying the serenity
of repose. There are doctors who can ex-
anime your eyes and tell you whether you
have kidney disease, but how much better
it would be If some specialist could arise
who can locate worry and pluck it out as 1t
were by the roots. 1t is a baleful source of
poison at best, and at its worst, it is ruin
Gus. Happy the man who is able to take
the measure of his worries and troubles and
value them for what they are! Happy,
thrice happy, is the man who can present
to their attacks the impenetrable armor of
serenity! His years shall be long and full
of charity. His head shall be in the sun
shine, and there shall be no shadow about
his feet. Old men will follow him. and little
children shall be his companions.

1t is timely, popular topic. 1t Appeals 10
the whole country 1t is not partisan IN
any sense. nor can it be twisted for paru-
san purposes. The navy of today is the
outgrowth of patriotic pride, and OF gen
erous recognition IF patriotic duty. Repub-
lican and democrat, northern man and
southern man, alike share in the credit or
our strength on the sea. and alike may be
depended upon to keep us strong there AS,
therefore, there is a general appreciation OF
what the navy means to us, and money
enough to provide well for it, no fear need
be entertained of the success of any policy
which has for it's object stunting the growth
of that arm of the national defense.
