TIE RUSSIAN SOLDIERS TEST.

That the Russians have fought SO
we'll after three months of steady de-
feats and retrograde movements
sreaks highly for the character OF the
rank and file. Overwhelmed and i'll
shod as they have been. fighting far
from home in tropical heat, for reasons
unknown to most Of them, the position
of the enlisted men has been bad
enough to try the Spartan three hun
dred Should there now be a severe
defeat, followed By a rapid retire
rent of the army upon Mukden or
Harbin. the troops will be subjected
70 the severest test to which armed
men can be exposed. Only an army
splendidly disciplined, well command
Ell. devoted to its officers, and enthu-
siastic in its cause can come through
such an experience without disastrous
results. OF the Russian army OF TO-
day it is only known that the men are
generally devoted to their officers. IL
must not be forgotten, moreover, tha'
the early disasters of 1877 in Bull
raria did not prevent the Russians
from going to the very walls or Con
stantinople later.-New York Post.

RUSSIA SHOULD RECALL HIS
TORY.

Few. if any, incidents in her history
have reflected more credit upon Rus
STA than her declaration OF neutral
rights. in 1880, which led TO the lot
nation of the first armed neutrallty.
It is true that that declaration was
formerly, perhaps first, made by Fred
erick the Great of Prussia, and that
from him it was carried to Russia ana
suggested to the Russian empress by
France. But Russia has always hau
the popular credit of it, and it would
seem ungracious to try to rob her Oh
it. Rather is it profitable TO recall
that in that famous declaration Russia
limited the list of contraband articles
to the items of arms and ammunition
and sulphur. Nay, more. the lmme-
date provocation of that act OF Rus
sia's was SPANS seizure of two Rus
sian vessels laden with foodstuHs!
II would be a strange turn about TOT
Russia now to repudiate the principles
of her famous declaration of neutral
rights and herself to approve and com
nit the very acts against which II
was q protest and prohibition. In
1870 she organized an armed neutral
ity to uphold the principle that fooo
was not contraband of war Can IL DC
that in 1904 she will set herselI
against all the world by declaring /
Is contraband of war? In a centur!
and a quarter has the world, in he
opinion, relapsed so far toward par
barism?-New York Tribune.

Whenever a crime of unusual turpi- |
tude is committed, and particularly
whenever a number of such forbid
ding events occur in quick succession.
we hear much about the epidemic or
crime" accompanied by lugubrious
comment to the effect that wickedness
is increasing, that it is outrunning
the growth of population, that the
country is rapidly degenerating. IL
has become the settled conviction OF
minds chemically indisposed to look
upon the sunny side of things that the
criminal population is increasing at
a more alarming rate than at any
time in the country's history, yet no
prof is at hand to support this pessi-
mistic view.
Penologists are awaiting trust
worthy and sufficiently comprehensive
statistics on this interesting subject.
Samuel ]. Barrows, Commissioner for
the United States on the Interna-
tional Prison Commission, declared in
paper published in 1903 that for
want of any comparative statistics In
the United States it is extremely diff
ficult to say whether criminals are in
creasing with reference to the popu-
lation, inasmuch as so much depends
upon the activity of the police. Mr..
Barrows observes that as social rela-
tions multiply the standard of pro-
priety and good conduct and OF social
protection is constantly raised, and
when new laws are rigidly enforced
1--WE may expect an increase for the
time being in the number of offenders
until society has adjusted itself to the
new requirements"
1t may be noted that the system o.
news gathering has been brought to
high pitch of efficiency in our day
Every crime of Importance occurring
almost anywhere in the country is i'm
mediately reported. We hear yer!
much more about crime than our FOL
bears did. The diligence OF the re
porters and the news agencies create
the impression that the world

Knew His Masters Voice.

The wonderful instinct and intelli-
gence of dogs was illustrated few
days since where one recognized his
owners voice over the telephone at a
distance of some fourteen miles. The
dogs master, who was going out of
the state, sent the animal to a SUI
burban city, where he was to be cared
for. A few days after the keeper OF
the animal was called up and the
dog placed on a chair and the tele-
phone receiver placed at his ear. His
master spoke to the dog, who recog-
nized his voice and demonstrated it
by vociferously barking. 1t was with
much difficulty that the animal could
be induced to go away from the tele-
phone long after his master had rung
off, the proprietor Of the kennels at
terward informed him.

A CHANCE FOR PUBLICITY.

If it were possible to compel the
national committees to keep an accur-
ate record of and publish a true ac-
count of their expenditures for cam
paign purposes a work of the utmost
Importance would be accomplished.
England has virtually eliminated the
bribery of voters in her parliament
airy elections by requiring that each
candidates campaign expenses shall
be recorded and made public.
II the campaign fund accounts were
made public, instead of being kept
secret. there would be no need to
"fry the fat" from corporations or
men. All the money actually neces-
sary for an honestly conducted CAM
paign would be willingly contributed
by public spirited citizens of either
party. Only through publicity, full
and complete, will campaign funds
cease to be corruption funds.-Phila'

JAPAN's EMPEROR.

Very few people have ever known
the emperor of Japan closely. lie
must be undergoing something Oh al
evolution, for theoretically he Is de-
signed as a national figurehead rather
than as a natural ruler. The present
crisis must have brought him out as
never before.
The English sometimes date their
pedigrees back to the conqueror Win
certain pride. But Mutsuhito-tenwo'
emperor of Japan, is the present rep
resentatiye of the Oldest royal dynas-
ty ,extant. He is the 121st emperor OF
his dynasty, which dates back IN an
unbroken line 1856 years. He is the
direct descendant OF Ginmu, the "di-
vine conqueror," who, according 10
Japanese mythology, descended from
heaven on the white bird or the
clouds"
Up to the opening of the present
war the Japanese always carried the
| Oriental notion that their emperor
should maintain certain seciusloh
appropriate to his position. The fact
that he was hardly known personally
to his own people made him, however
more free to go among them incog
nito, which he is said to have done
extensively.
In the emperors reign the bands OF
feudalism that bound Japan to the
middle ages have been broken. He
granted a constitution voluntarily
Literature, science and industry were
encouraged. 1t was only the remark
able advancement in the reign OF Nut
suhito that made it possible for orr
entail Japan to be equal to the tasl
of a possible successful war witt
Russia.
War is costly, but it often lends tn
most powerful stimulus to advance
ment. Japan has made more pros
ress within few years than othe
. Oriental nations have accompnsne
in centuries.-Boston Globe.

SPORT AS A PEACEMAkER.

international sporting events are OF
immense value in promoting good feel
ing between neighboring peoples. Men
are like boys in that respect; good
playmates seldom become very bitter
enemies. Orientals break bread to-
gether and are thereby debarred from
lifting their hands against each other.
Occidentals break records" in friend
ly competition, with like effect.
The Upton races for the America
Cup have been great promoters of the
Anglo-American entente" They do
not, of course, decide the question for
statesmen; but they incline the com
mon people-who are the rules of both
nations-toward a friendly policy.
The automobile races between the
French and the German chauffeurs
have also been having an undoubted
effect in bringing those two peoples
together.
King Sport is a peaceful Prince
Friendly sporting clubs can do quite
as much for the worlds peace as sc
many peace SOclelleS WIFI theh ooi

tions of war. Peoples who visit eacf
other as competing athletes and who
entertain each other so generousl!
that the visiting club never has quite
a fair chance for the trophy, can will

TRAITS OF PRESIDENT KRUGER.

Poultney BigeIoW Writes OF o'Sos
South African Statesman.
Poultney Bigelow, writing before the
Boer war, gave a very interesting I'M
preston of ex-President Kruger. THE
president of the South African Repub-
lic." he wrote, sis indeed grand old
savage from one point OF view and a
noble statesman from another. He Is
theoretically the first citizen OF the
most democratic community, yet In
practice he surrounds himself with a
tawdry splendor that would shock
many crowned head OF Europe.
When I first had the honor OF meet
ing this anachronistic phenomenon he
was drinking coffee and throwing out
cloud of strong tobacco smoke but
still greater volume Of violent Ian
guage, emphasized by the humping or
his massive fist upon the table. The
room in which he received was crowd
ed with long-haired, full-bearded and
stolid-featured fellow burghers, who
reminded me partly of Russian priests,
partly of Californian miners, and part

| apostles. l feared that l had unwit-
tingly interrupted cabinet meeting
' but later it turned out that this was
Mr.. Kruger's usual at home When
the president is not at his Office he
delights in nothing so much as enter
tanning his countrymen with coffee

harrangues his visitors with the voice
of a bull in distress, and they like 1t
He governs by personal contact ant
