ter of the Fond du Lac and North East
ern lnterurban project, has been in this
city recently looking over the
ground and testing the sentiment of the
people. Last Saturday he aud Otto
Joerns, the Shebovgan engineer, atten-
deda meeting of Rapids property owners
at Silver Lake The question before the
meeting wts whether or 10 II franchise
should be granted the company. The
subject of the route of the proposed line
was discussed and ii was finally voted
to instruct the town supervisors to
grant the franchise providing the com
pany should buy one rod Of land along
the route through the town
There is some question, however, rs
to whether the company will agree to
this proposition and it is possible that
the townspeople will have to abandon
it. 1t is claimed by the promoters that
such procedure would involve the ex-
penditure of 10000 mile or more and
that it would not pay.

ed2 How can the conquerors ever be
made willing to relinqulsh their prey,
except by oompulsion, by new wars9
That Is the problem which appears ut
terly hopeless. except to the eye Of faith,
which sees far beyond present condl-
tions and rests upon that part OF mans
future history, when all power and
dominion. and government shall have
been yielded UP TO Him whose right It
Is to rule" Then there will be no OPP
preston, no injustice, no wrongs left
to the future to right There will DO
no cause for war.
The question how to promote uniyer-
sal peace is therefore, IN the first in
stance. the question Of how TO rem
der all men willing TO submit to the
rule Of the Redeemer, In the solution
OF that question, the universal peace
question will be solved. Parliaments
and congresses on peace. are helpful in
the degree they point out the correct d.
rectlon in which to seek the object
at which they aim.

A PEACE CONGRESS.

A peace congress has recently been
held at Manchester. England. II was
attended by about $50 delegates repre-
senting various organizations In the
United Kingdom, The presiding officer
was Mr.. Leonard Courtney one Of Eng

gates entertained no Illusions respect

hearts are given. They admitted that
the conditions Of the present hour APP
pear to be peculiarly adverse to their

were as a voice crying out IN tho viii
derness, but they nevertheless see rea-
sons for hone for the future.
Mr.. Courtney pointed out that we
have something more to acknowledge
as Weighing against our hopes and aims
than the war between Russian and ia
pan, and the expedition TO Tibet. We
have TO recognize, he said the state OF
feeling amongst civilized countries

LIGHT Is NEEDED.

Complaints come from Toxic, to the
effect that Russian soldiers are COM
hitting acts OF barblrty upon fallen
Japanese soldiers. They claim, for in
stance, that bodies recovered show that
they had been submitted to torture,
before finally killed. In one instance
the report is that the victim was par
TALLY skinned before life was extinct
Similar reports always come from
battlehelds, No matter how civilized
war H. It is savagery. II Is the reign
Of the beast. And where the beast is
let loose, such occurrences must be ex-
pected. But the Russian soldiers are
net, as rule highly civilized, or ma
tlrally gentle. Where they have a
chance, they are sure to follow their
Instincts.
This Is all the more certain because
even the Russian press, In some In
stances, advocates savage warfare. The
Moscow Gazette is quoted as follows:
"In our war with Japan we are like
a
enough to frighten II and leave 1t TO
hide In bush. 1t must be destroyed,
and we must do this without consider
ing whether England and the cosmo-
polltan plutocracy object or not. To
burden Russia with thousands OF Jap
anese prisoners Is perhaps in accord
ance with humanitarian principles, but
II is very unwise. No quarter, no pris-
oners, should be our motto"
II Is hardly conceivable that the pa
per mentioned could advocate this mo
quarter" policy without the approval
of the government censor. II that is
the case, II Is but natural that the sol
der In the field should carry out the
order thus indirectly conveyed to him.
But then, the rest OF the world should
enter protest against that kind Of
warfare, The nations OF Europe cam
not afford to permit the revival OF 18th
century massacres. Every such revlv-
al means a backset TO progress, And
therefore the entire world Is interested.
Could not the two combatants be pre-
vailed upon to fight this deplorable duel
IN the open daylight OF publicity, In
stead Of in the dark? They have almost
excluded journalists, and the conse-
quence is that what passes between
them Is almost unknown, until It is
no longer news. The spanish Aneri-
can war was fought In the light. Eve
ry step Of It was seen by the entire
world. There is no reason why this
war should not be conducted in a
similar manner, as to publicity. III It
were, there would not be 30 many
atrocities of the nature complained of,
for even Asiatic soldiers would be
ashamed Of torturing wounded enemies,
II the rays of publicity were turned on
them. Such acts seek darkness. They
are no longer possible in broad day
light.

Another man active In the ranks or
his party has succumbed while yet In
the prime Of his years, to the fatigues
OF n severe political campaign. Elk
Governor Robert Il, Pattison, OF PENN
sylvaba, lies dead at his home near
Philadelphia from pneumonia that was
brought to fatal termination by weak
ness Of the heart, from which he had
suffered since the fall Of 1902. His ex-
haustlng labors In the campaign at mat
time he being Democratic candidate
for governor OF Pennsylvania, and his
disappointment at the result, enfeebled
his constitution and he had not been a
well man al that time. The heat and
excitement at the ST. Louis convention
a few weeks ago made further inroads
upon his vital forces, and he became an
easy prey TO the malady with which he
was attacked few days ago. HIS
death at 80 furnishes another illustra-
ton In the long list Of object
which show that politics as vocation
does not pay.

Republican state as Pennsylvania

honor from his party In the natloni

email success as vote winner In Phii-
adelphla and the state, was never await

The dispatches state that Mr.. Patti
sons deacese Is attributable TO Sc
we're cold contracted at the st. Louis
convention, and the fact Is now re-
called that a number Of men who took
leading parts In tina, gathering were
stricken with illness. Bryan, Dam
iels, Williams, Sheehan and several
others left the big powwow sick and
exhausted. The unseemly hours that
were persisted in, the terrible heat and
the all-around strenuousness OF the at
fair could scarcely fail of such a result.
Among those who thus physically
over-reaehed themselves was the la
mented Pattison. Strong and young
and robust as he was, he went down
In the ordeal, and by his taking of a
useful life is ended and bright career
cut short in the midst Of Its work aud
hopes.

Since Mr.. Pattisons retirement from
the governorship, Pennsylvania has
been more than ever dominated by. the
very machine which he fought so well.
II Is certainly a mournful reflection
that the man who gave Mr.. Pattison's
greatest enemy, Quay, the most COM
fort during the last years of his ras-
cally life and paid him a tribute when
dead, was no less person than Theo-
dore Roosevelt. To him many outraged
Pennsylvania Republicans once turned
as to a Moses to lead them out Of the
wilderness of Quaylsm.

Undoubtedly, Mr. Pattison's death
was fastened by his prominent particl-
patton In the affairs Of the Democratic
National convention In the o7er-heated
city OF 81. Louis. Alling before that
and subjected TO hard and protracted
committee work, he was unable TO
stand the strain, and has finally yielded
up the ghost,
