ON A WAR FOOTING.
President Roosevelt's Strenuous
Peace Policy Suspicious.

The question: Is the United States being
prepared for war may well be asked. Joseph
Pulitzer in his open letter to President Roose
welt, says:
''We are spending more money now on our
navy than any other country in the world ex-
cept England a third more on our army than
Austria Hungary, with nearly 400, 900 men
under arms, and twice as much as Japan in
time of peace. and more on army, navy and
pensions than is spent for the same purposes
by any of the overloaded military powers OF
continental Europe without exception. Our
navy is costing US sos, 000,0 COO this year.
France. hitherto the second naval power IN
the world, is spending S61 100000 on hers,
and Germany, under your lllustrous counter
part, the Emperor, $50, 100000 On its face,
our activity looks as if we were preparing for
certain war.
1--WE are building thirteen battleships to
England's ten, Germany seven and France S
six, and thirteen great armored cruisers, prac-
tically battleshlps, to England's sixteen,
frances six and Germany's two. We are
Just finishing half dozen smaller cruisers.
We have more first class batteships already
built than any other country in the world ex-
cept England. and the English Editor of Bras
sey's Naval Annual says that in ten years at
the present rate we shall displace Great Britain
as the first naval power of the globe. Yet VOC
keep prodding Us on How much do YOU
want? Fifty years ago our navy consisted of
a few wooden frigates and our peaceful mer-
chant fleets covered the seas. To-day we have
over 600, 900 tons of steel battleships aud
cruisers. and our merchant marine in the
foreign trade has shruuk until it IS hardly
larger than the navy that is supposed to pro

KILLED. Drowned. Hung, But Lives

The rapid recovery Of Thomas CahiH, who
was taken to Liichdeld Hospital ut Winsted,
Conn. last week, Is pronounced one Of the
most remarkable on record. Czhill had fallen
% feet from a bridge, striking his head on
rock, in Naugatuck river. HIS body rolled
into the stream aud for five minutes bubbles
showed that be was swallowing impure water.
While being drawn up the rope slipped aud
left marks upon his throat. Within few days
he had recovered
When he was taken unconscious to small
shop an old woman asked. Whats wrong?''
A small boy replied. Its a dead man. He
was killed, drowned and hung" "Umph!''
said the woman. Its Tom Cahill. He won't
die. Hes vowed to live hundred years.
Cahill is a local celebrity known as the pos
SCISSOR of Il iaismau against death. He is
called The Iron Man and The Human
Football" Twelve years ago huge stone
dropped from n derrick. crushing his right leg
and foot Later he fell from load OF stone
and wheel OF the wagon passed over his Jaw.
This only cured his speech, as he had been
tongue tied. Three years ago he fell from a
roof. breaking his colarbone and fracturing
his right arm. Last winter he cut the instep
of his left foot while chopping wood.

A Wild Guess.

In discussing Judge ParkeF's letter Of ac-
ceptanee the Sentinel says
The tariff question is discussed at some
length and the stale platitudes Of the anti.
protecuonists repeated in much the same form
and phraseology as have been employed by
free traders generally, from year to year.
The Sentinel simply made guess al what
Judge Parker said in regard to tariff revision,
aud we venture the assertion that Judge
Parker's letter of acceptance was not read in
the Sentinel office. At most it was simply
glanced over. Had it been read no such
comment would have been made. There are
no stale platitudes' in it, Judge Parker
advocates a revision of the tariff, wisely and
prudenty, so that no great disturbance result
to business interests. A reduction of tariff
taxation does not mean adjustment of such
taxation

1nsular Tariffs Unconstitutional.

The largest and most representative gather
ing in the history of the American Bar Asso-
citation marked the opening session of the
twenty seventh annual convention OF the AS
ISOLATION, which convened on the Worlds
Fair grounds. St. Louis. last week. Among
the 600 members OF the Association who were
in attendance, together with the many foreign
delegates to the universal congress of lawyers
and juristS, were Associate Justice Brewer of
the United States Supreme Court; Hon. John
w. Foster, former Secretary of State, and Sir
William Kennedy, Chief Justice of the High
Court of England.
President James Hagerman said. in part:
''Since the last meeting of this Association,
Congress passed one very important act of
far-reachiug consequence, to regulate shipping
in trade between ports of the United States
and ports or places in the Philippine archi
pelago and between ports or places IN the
Philippines
I'm my Judgment, the need of the times is
that the mandate should 90 forth to the Amer
lean people as the judgment of their bench
and bar that Territories can only be perma-
nently held by the United States upon the
condition that the residents and inhabitants
shall be citizens of the United States, and
that there shall be no tariff laws between such
Territories and the States of the Union, but
al Sldlt bt "tlDth tue zone OF Tree tEdue winch
has heretofore included our States aud Terri
tories
In the light Of such mandate, aud with
knowledge Of the conditions which it exscts,
the American people may intelIigenuy decide
what Territories are to be permanently re-
tanned ! am not one of those who think that
it is absolutely essential that all Territories of
the United States should be admitted to State
hood, for | believe that under our system Tel.
ritories can be governed Is such in harmony
with our Republican Democratic constitution p
al principles.
The point which l emphasize is, and it
seems to me that the ultimate judgment Of the
lawyers of the country will enforce IL. that the
inhabitants OF our Territories must be entitled
to United States citizenship, and they must
have free and invoked trade relations with
Us. Otherwise there will be- departure from
constitutional methods aud principles which
Viii be revolutionary in their nature and lead
Us to an imperialism which j, Inconsistent

No Canal Route There.

Some citizens of small piece of territory,
recently decided by arbitration as being part
of Brazil, have set up an independent govern
ment and named their domain the Free
State of Counani." Adolph Brezet, the head
of the government, applied to President
Roosevelt for recognition. The application
has been refused. 1t is not needed for canal
purposes, as was Panama, and no benefit to
this country could be discerned, hence the
independence of the Free State of Counani'
will not be recognized. No State, old or

the social equality of the black and white races
he discovered that he was not 10 accord with

cause he believes in the social equality of the

Railroad Tunnel on Fire.

ROANOKE, Va, October 4.-The Pocohon-
tas Tunnel, on the Clineh Valley Division of
the Norfolk and Western Railway, located in
Tazewell county, is a seething furnace. The
cribbing, which caught fire from engine sparks
yesterday, continues to burn with fury, and
every available man is working day and night
to quench the fame. General Superintendent
Needles and Division Superintendent Caples
are on the ground experimenting the work.
Traffic will be blocked for at least a week, and
this necessitates the idleness of a large num-
Der of coal miners who are cut off from their
work. Tons of rock and dirt have fallen from
the roof, and more than half fill the passage.
This tunnel has given the road vast deal of
trouble in the past.

In his charge to the grand jury of Prince

George C. Merrick criticised the Legislature
for taking away from the Judiciary in that cir
cult the power to draw jurors. Judge Mer
rick's criticism rests on the ground that he
cannot put negroes on the jury, as formerly.
