WIZ. RUSSIA FAILS.

Count Cassini's statement that Rus
STA was unprepared for war merely
acknowledges what all the world has
seen. Interest does not center instf1at
fact SO much as in the explanation
given by the Count as to why Russia
was not prepared Assuredly she had
ample warning and at the time she
acted as if she was profting by it.
But, Count Cassini says, she did not
anticipate anything else than a peace
full course of negotiation and did not
grid herself for contingencies such as
came to pass.
The truth probably is that Russia,
with her great naval armament in the
Far East. felt able to command the
sea, and having that reliance saw no
need of making large preparations on
land Command Of the sea meant
everything if war came. By exercis-
ing it Russia could keep japanese
troops from crossing into Korea, could
blockade Japan's ports and, by driv-
ing the fishing f1otillas of the ocean
deprive the people of some of their
necessary food With 76 war vessels
of all classes, torpedo boats and de-
stroyers included. a fleet headed by
seven hattIeships, Russia did not think
ii. possible that hostilfties could be
transferred to Manchurian soil She
could see no possibility of her naval
arm being paralyzed. And blind in
her security she hardly looked to see
what the enemy was doing until his
torpedoes began to explode under the
bulls of her greatest ships
With the sea cleared for the Japan
csc, Russia had. to change her whole
plan of campaign. She was obliged
to crowd her one-track railway with
troops. horses, artillery and supplies
and she could not get them to the East
fast enough to enable her to make
stand in Korea or even in southern
Manchuria. Indeed she can do little
now but to beat sullen retreat

points of contact, is less than that Of

tant. There has never been a wholly
civilized nation on the earth. But Or.
Abbott might soon convince himself
that the United States has advanced tar
towards the best ideals and standards
and is a leader Of civilization What
people has ever been moved and gov
erned by moral conceptions beyond our
own? Our revolution originated in a
pre- sInbie. The sentiment against slav-
cry never rested till settled by the Civil
| War. The general aspiration for peace
and unity welded the North and the
| South into a fraterpal nation. Our re-
| lations with Cuba were not controlled
| by material considerations. The ques-
| ton of the future of the Philippines is
| discussed all over the Union from its
moral side. Even INSCRIPTIONS parti-
sans know that, to affect the American
people, principle and duty must never
be ignored. Public opinion upon all
issues, material, state municipal, is set
tied ordinarily in conformity with the
highest practical standards of morality.
The ultimate fact is that. in the United
States. civilization has attained its
highest level. The impressions left by
DR.. Abbott are sophisticai. With all our
vast interests, compelling and receiving
definite treatment, the historical esti-
mate of President Roosevelt's adniflis-
tration viii be that it has raised the
moral precedents of our national poll
cies to still higher altitude. The
tribute paid by Alfred Moseley, leader
of the Moseley Commission, when he
reported to the British public that the
average American boy, when he leaves
school. is infinitely better fitted for his
vocation and struggle in life than the
English boy, is fair. estimate of

aspects, which determines and stamps

There is fast set everywhere, unless
Honolulu be excepted. London has Its

society can for this reason be properly

The complex and multitudinous details
of a vast governmental system proceed
with automatic regularity in Washing

AMERICAN CIVILIZATION.

At the Berkeley University in Califor-
divine, reproached the United States
because it is not wholly civilized.
Bishop Satterlee also administered a
severe rebuke lately to Washington So
ciety on the ground that it has false
ideals and makes social pleasure the
business of life.
1t is always well to attack evil and
there is some truth in these criticisms.
They lead to false differences, however,
because they do not express the whole
truth and are founded upon selected
facts. 1t is amazing to observe the
fallacies that are propagated and the
injustice that is wrought by learned
men in the professions for want of the
judicial faculty. A competent Judge
never looks at part but at the whole of
a record. University professors, cele-
brated preachers and professional re-
formers are too apt to extract the wick
edness that is too conspicuous in the
world and hold it up before the public
as if it We're to be considered apart from
its surroundings. This practice leads
to false and exaggerated views Of
| actual conditions.
1t has been sometimes claimed that
the press is mirror of life, whereas the
fact is that, outside of business and
routine, it is necessarily a record of ex-
eeptional incidents. If, for illustration,
crimes, divorces and personal contro-
versies were to be considered as rep
resenting the actual state of commune
ties, the world might easily present the
| aspect of pandemonium. A rule may
be proved. but it cannot be defined by
exceptions. In a large city, like San
Francisco, there may be hundred
crimes in one day, but that does not
alter the fact that the bulk of its pop
ulation is law abiding and respectable.
| Out of five hundred thousand inhabi-
| tants, twenty-four hours may produce
| five or six applications for divorce, and
seventy-five thousand families still ex-

politicians or scandal-mongers may APP
| ply the most opprobrious criticism to
good citizens, but that does not mean
| that an entire city is given up to false
hood and malignity. And the unusual
| occurrences in a commercial metropolis,
in varying degrees, are multiplied wher-
ever human beings are to be found.
Dissected or isolated truths may be
readily and even innocently used as
the basis of most inaccurate conclu-
sions. Job was spoken of as a perfect
man, but he was only relatively per-
feet, when contrasted with other men
of his generation. When he attempted
a discussion with his Maker, he turned
cut to be very imperfect. To reach
genuine and just differences. all the
relevant facts must be grouped togeth-

EARLY CLOSING
 AFFECTED CARROLLTON.

The following paragraph from a paper at Carrollton, Mo, indi- cates a retrospective view of the matter of early closing:
 Twenty years ago a night on our streets was very different from what it is at this time. Then all the stores were open until 9 or 10 o'clock and a crowd of loaf CTS could be found in each store and the streets were full of peo- pie until II o'clock. Down on saloon row there was a crowd until 12 o'clock and some of them did not go home until morning. This is all changed. A large number of the stores close at 6, all the grocery stores at 7, the book stores at 8 and the drug stores at 9, and there are a very few loafers on the streets or in the stores. On saloon rosy there is only a small crowd and Oy II o'clock all is quiet in the city. More people stay at home nights than twenty years ago and the merchant has time to be with his family. The present plan is by far the best and the improvement is noted by any one who has lived here all these years. Soon the remaining stores will close at 6 or ' o'clock and the streets de- serted after dark. This is the way it should be, for then the busy man has time to rest.
