highly Interesting Lecture.

Dr.. David Spencer. for 20 years resi-
dent Of Japan. lsetured at the N. E.
church Wednesday evening. His prssen-
tation Of tho national characteristics Of
the Japanese was most interesting and
instructive. The remarkable progress
which this nation has made In 40 years
has no parallel in tho history Of tho world.
From hermit empire. automatically

Of tho outcome Of tho present war woro
not touched upon. r.r-
The good influence which Japan's pro-
gress Is having on tho surrounding ma
tons was foreibly presented.
Tho general educational advancement
Of Japan drives tho young mon and wo-
mon from idolatry but does not make
them Christians. DR.. Spencer pleads for
a most liberal support Of missionary Of
forts in Japan as there is no more prom
ising field. Many prominent officials arc
now active. earnest Christians and tho
graduates Of the missionary schools arc
sought fer for government positions in
greater number than can be supplied.
Japan has most kindly feeling for tho
United States as Il was Commander
Perry Of our navy who opened for her tho
door to the western civilization Of which
she has made such magnificent use.

A penitenuary sentence awaits some Of
Rocky Ford's boys. Of late there has
been an unusual number of fires, all small
buildings, of no great value. and under
circumstances which point plainly to ins
cendiarism. Two Of the fires occurred
on Wednesday, one in the afternoon and
one at loi,p. m. Both were outhouses
and the damage small, but in both cases
there were possibilities of great loss. An
investigation should be started to locate
and punish the guilty. parties.

and the question of voting bonds for a

upon. We understand that it is the desire
Of the residents of the vicinity Of the La
fayette school to have such an addition to
the present building as shall furnish ao-
combinations for eight grades. The cost
of the proposed addition and its furnishing
will probably be between $4,000 and

issued.

The Swift Packing Co. recently laid of
some Of its butchers. the amount Of busi-

full force. Tne butchers union has de-
manded that all men laid off be reinstat-

dictate that none but union men be en-
ployed. and then allowed to fix the hours
and price Of labor, it would seem that the
concern which pays the wages should
have the privilege of saying how many
men should be on the pay roll. Such un-
reasonable interference with business
management as shown by the Chicago
butchers is one cause of unions losing the

No labor union has tho legal or mora
right to say that non-unionist shall not

called "seab" has Just as good right to

Tho unionist has no more right to set
himself up in Judgment over his fellows
than has the capitalist. Tho way to win
battles is by reason and acton. No bat
