No GROUND FOR PEACE TALK.

I NJ GHOt NJ Fuh FEaAA r TAIN
France would like to bring about
! cessation of hostilities in the Far East
| In some Of the Paris newspapers there
/ have appeared articles which indicated
that the French government would well
| come cooperation in the direction of
| peace between Russia and Japan. 1t
! is said that it is tbs opinion of French
| statesmen that it wouldn't he to the
interest Of the nations most interested
in the Far East TO have Japan's as
sendency too marked there, and it
would be very marked if she should
! succeed in driving Russia out of Man
churia. Therefore it is Frances idea
that the United States, Germany and
Great Britain should interfere and
bring about peace.
1t seems to be the understanding
that Germany wouldn't be averse to
rendering her good offices if she
thought there was a probability that
they would he accepted. Her infor-
nation is, however, that any such offer
would be rejected.
The truth is no doubt that the Car
has no thought Of seeking peace. He
wouldn't consent to negotiate for peace
except upon his own terms, even if he
should meet with a defeat at Lao
Yang and Port Arthur should be cap
tured. 1t may be that his finances
will soon be in such condition as to
cause him uneasiness, but the re-
oe l.
the war show no signs of exhaustion.
The thing that troubles him the most
is the difficulty in getting men and
supplies to the seat Of war. If he should
suffer great defeat at Lao Yang and
should have to yield up Port Arthur
he would fall back upon Hardin, and
wait for reinforcements. Doubtless he
could hold out there for a long time,
certainly long enough to enable him to
forward soldiers and military supplies
enough TO continue the war.
1t is the opinion in Paris, if the
dispatches from there are to be cred
tied, that if the Gar should win a
notable victory at LAO Yang he would
be willing to talk peace, for a victory
would restore somewhat Russa's pres
tige, but it is questionable if such talk
would amount to anything The Gar
understands that if he should be driv-
en- out of Manchuria by the Japanese
his influence in the Far East would be
gone. 1t would be a half a century,
if not longer, before he would dare to
attempt to advance his empire again
in that part Of the world. And he
might have trouble in other parts of
his empire where there is dissatisfac-
ton.
France is anxious, of course, because
Russia owes her such vast sum of
money, and the longer the war con-
tinues the poorer the prospect of gets
ting her money will be. She would like
the United States, Germany, or Great
Britain to move in the direction of
peace not so much because she is
afraid of japanese ascendency in the
Far East as because she is afraid if
the war continues a long time Russia
will not be able to pay the vast debt
she owes the French people

relative of the late Walter B.
Brooks tells of dinner upon one oc-
casion at that gentleman's house when
a clerical guest was requested to ask
a blessing, says the Baltimore Sun
The reverend gentleman complied. but
once started on his flow of invoca-
ton there seemed no indication that
he ever intended to stop. On and on
swept the stream of eloQuence while
the soup turned stone cold and the
hostess looked appealingly at her hus-
band. Suddenly Mr.. Brooks broke in
to the blessing with a fervent and
final Amen" The clergyman stopped
and with beaming eyes CALCULATED:
"Oh, thank you, thank you. l could
not think Of the word amen to save my
life"

In the September Success" Judge
Alton b. Parker comments at length
on the need Of educated men in pol
itics. Without hesitation he asserts
! that it is the duty of every educated
American citizen to give a portion of
his time to his municipal government
and to assist in regulating local af-
| fairs. Then. as his fitness is demon
strated, he viii rise to higher posi-
tions and the result will be a benefit to
the entire country.
There isn't any doubt but that Judge
Parker is right. AS he points out,
many of the errors Of municipal gov
eminent are due to the fact that the
mon in power are not properly fitted
for their positions. The best business
men in nearly every community devote
their entire time to their own bust
nesses and the cities thus lose the ben
eft of their experience. Mismanage-
ment naturally ensues, taxes increase,
and the people are unnecessarily bur
dened. AS the distinguished jurist
shows, the strongest argument for the
truth of his position is the fact that
important powers of Council are being
gradually transferred to the Mayors
and their appointive officers. This is
construed as a tacit admission that
popular government in certain regards
is more or less of failure.
The commonly raised cry that the
boss doesn't want educated men in
office isn't capable of being justly sus-
tanned. The successful boss is a prac-
teal politician and he clearly sees that
educated men can give a better gov
eminent than the uneducated. He also
knows that the better the government
under his rule the less will be the gen
eral dissatisfaction and that opposi-
ton to his power will gradually dis
solve. Therefore he will welcome
educated aspirants for office, even
though he does it from the merely
selfish position that it will help per-
petuate his rule.
Judge Parker disposes of the Oft
heard claim that municipal politics is
DOlIllllR
out that the greater part of direct tax
alton is levied for the purpose of de-
fraying local government expenses.
Then, too. politics must be learned by
beginning at the bottom and working
up to the higher positions, just as any
mercantile business is learned. The
man who demonstrates his fitness in
governing his city will soon be sought
for higher offices and will continue ris-
ing until he reaches the top.
Altogether, the article is an excellent
one and one that appeals to men of the
truest patriotism everywhere 1t was
written by a man of lofty ideals, and
yet a very practical man, and it isn't
to be doubted that if his advice were
followed and educated men entered
more freely into politics, we would be
immeasurably benefited.

It was reported some months ago that
the government would discontinue the
printing of crisp $40 bills and would
use soft. velvety paper for bills OF
that denomination. After thinking the
matter over however the authorities
have reached the very sensible con-
clusion that soft, velvety paper would
catch and hold dirt and germs with
more facility than the old sort of paper.
hence the crisp, cracking bills are to
be retained. What is really needed in
connection with our paper money Is
some system by which AN OF the old.
dirty and ragged bills may be rapidly
retired and replaced with new. clean
bills.

BOTHERED BY THE PHILIPPINES.

Since Judge Parker has made it
clear that he stands squarely on the
Democratic platform in the matter of
the Philippines-that is. that he fayors
independence for the Filipinos and the
shaping of the Philippine government
so as to prepare them for 1.-THE Re
publicans are saying that they, too,
favor independence for the Filipinos.
They are afraid to come out boldly for
the policy they have been pursuing,
and which, no doubt, they intend to
continue to pursue. namely preparing
the Filipinos for becoming permanent
colonists of this country.
There are a great many anti-irn-
perialists in the Republican party and
the Republican leaders are afraid Of
losing their votes if the party stands
by its Philippine policy in it's cam
paign speeches and political organs
Until Judge Parker wrote his letter to
Mr.. Milburn, of Connecticut, they pre-
tended to think there was no difference
on the Philippine question between
Judge Parker and Mr.. Roosevelt. The

clear there was a difference that they
were compelled to change their tao
tics.
In a speech at Montpelier, VT, the
other day, Secretary Taft, speaking of
the Filipinos, said: THE Republicans
hope that the time may come when
they may be safely granted indie
pendence, and think it will come" If
that is the Republican view, why didn't
they put it into their platform? What
authority has Secretary Taft for say
ing what they propose to do and what
they don't propose to do?
As a matter of fact it has always
been the policy of the Republican par
ty to hold on to the Philippines per-
manently, They are talking little
differently now, because they are seek
ing votes. 1t is doubtful, however, If
the people will be Influenced by state
ments of Secretary Taft, as to what
the views Of his party are in respect
to the Philippines.

Oklahoma Girls
EXCITE THE POET AND
THE ARTIST
Are Described by Eastern
Writers as Types of
Western Beauty

Eastern newspapers are constantly
reproducing the pictures Of western
girls and, as a rule. the Oklahoma
iassio is in the lead. The Oklahoma
girls do not particularly h, niger after
this SOFT of advertisement as they
are modest and never have sought to
be painted by artists or described In
angelic terms. They are popular
enough at home among their own
people and that is satisfactory.
But in recent years the biggest
newspapers in the country have been
forcing 1poH them a widespread fame.
Their pictures have appeared far aud
wide throughout the land They hava
been described as beautiful All Of
this they are truly deserving of aud
a great deal more II It is compliment
ary.
The western girl who has made OF
herself what she is on the frontier
IS worthy Of considerable more praises
than are ever sung in her favor. Her
education may have been limited but
she has that natural ability that gains
FOR her the notice OF the eyes of the
world wherever she goes.
