War and Its Cost.

W 1890 ~ - . SsssNA r..
war-preparedness or unprepared-
ness? In frontier days it was
known that nothing made q man
SO quarrelsome as "gun" in his
pocket. Personally, l have no
more use for war among nations
than for each fellow to settle his
own quarrel by arms with his. neigh
Dor, as they used to do in the good
old days of knighthood. Not only
are you told that the courts then
could not settle quarrels between
barons, but even the courts settled
questions by the foolish trial BY
battle. But personal quarrels are
no longer settled so.
/ read that the countrymen of
that Gar who proposed the Peace
Tribunal are Draining and disem-
boweling the countrymen Of the
Mikado, and the countrymen of the
Mikado are found dead with their
teeth in the Threats Of the Russians;
that women are weeping and men
groaning by the hundreds Of thous-
ands, and I'll venture to say that
not one of the Russian soldiery
knows any better reason why he
should disembowel a Japanese arti-
san than the bulldog knows why he
should fight in the pit for his master
and the same with the Japanese
artisan soldier.
Whose fight is it, anyway? What
is it for? And what is the good?
At the end of all the slaughter and
waste, it will be settled by treaty
in which all Europe will take a
hand. And the United States, too;
for are we not great big boy now?
And is not Senator Lodge greater
than Washington?
Keep out Of European politics.
Nonsense, George! We are world.
power! Senator Lodge is states
man. We have governors, too,
and we, too, run out and get killed
whenever they tell us. We are
flea bitten with statesmen. See
Chauncey Depew. He is a states
man, too. And we build great big
battleships, everyone costing more
than college, and sometimes they
hit a rock, and some day they &c
up in smoke. Who builds them
Well, the statesman order them
and the people pay for them.
Faugh! I've smelt corpes rot
ting myself, and know he is foo
who gets killed save for principa
he knows and approves. Wars ar
not prevented nor victories won b,
battle ships, but by the moral powe
and the wealth OF the nation. TIL,
battle is not to the strong in battle
ships, but to the strong in re
sources. We are bitten by kill
ing bug. We are full Of strenuous
ness. Our soldies wear caps lik
those of the Germans. We are
military world power and the pee
| pie pay the bills.-Pacific Monthly

NO "REVOLUTION" ANTICIPATED

If President Roosevelt had not come
out In a statement announcing that he
would not be a candidate for president
again, the yellow journals would not now
be talking about the cabinet, says the
Des Moines, Ia, Capital. They would be
talking about imperialism and Roose-
velt's determination to make himself solid
In order to secure a third term. Certain
papers would have had a picnic If the
president had not been too wise for them.
But the yellow journals must say some
to demonstrating that the victory is so
big and so strongly personal that the
president intends to ignore his own party
and to fill all the offices with mugwumps
and Democrats. No one has suggested
that he put Bryan In the cabinet, but
that suggestion may come later. The
Philadelphia North American devoted two
CT three columns to demonstrating that
the president feels under no obligation to
his party, and that he is now going to
fulfill his cherished desire to run amuck
and do as he pleases. The American also
announces that the president feels under
no obligations to leading Republicans. nor
individuals of any class; therefore he is
going to act on his own judgment. The
papers publishing these things do so for
the reason that there is nothing else of
a political nature in sight n the brilliant
young journalists employed at Washing
ton must fill their allotted space. But the
American people believe that Theodore
Roosevelt Will make an administration
in the future very much like the one
which the American people nave en- or ed.
The people did not endorse an imaginary
administration, nor one which they hoped
the president would make. They endorsed
the administration that had been and
will be satisfied If the president contin-
ues on the lines of his former work. They
want him to go after the beef combine,
but proceedings are pending against that
organization already. They want him to
enforce the laws regardless of the inter-
ests of anybody, rich or poor. and such
has been his career. Therefore. no rev.
olution can be expected from the new
administration.

THE FOREIGN MAIL SERVICE

were dispatched by sea to foreign coun-
tries in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1904,
according to the annual report of Super
intendent Brooks of the foreign mail

per cent over the preceding twelve
months. The bulk of this mail, or more
than 100000 0 pounds. was for Transact
lantic destinations The cost of this serv-
ice was 81. SIG. 900.
The international postal business is a
source of considerable revenue to the
government. In the fiscal year 1904 the
sum of $s.5s2. 322 was collected as postage
on articles exchanged with foreign coun-
tries. Increases are noted in the parcels
post business between this and other
operation.

offices and as to the number OF letter
boxes in use, second in proportion of

tradictions in the expressions of western
thought on the subject.
There seems to be universal fear that
the Chinese and japanese may o our

ais. That. is to say, they will pick up
those forces in our progress which have
made US expert In the manufacture of Dig

They also may copy our methods of trade
and acquire a taste for expansion and
conquest. Our chief regret is that they
may forget to adopt our golden rue,
which we pretentiously claim is the guild
ing force in our political and business
life.
But when the situation Is carefully con-
sidered 1t may be better for us II the
Oriental nations do not accept u stand

protesting Christianity have jocularly
discussed the slicing of China, have
taken seaports and established an opfur
traffic at the point of bayonet.'. If 5 ch
acts are consistent with the Occid ntas
combination of morality and high civlliza-
ton, or If our religion is una1le to re.
strain such ruthless performances, IL will
