Iaps Defy Ennnarnr.

One of the most striking features ol the correspondence of Japanese leaders during the present war is their deifica- ton of the emperor of Japan. After one attempt to bottle up the Port Arthur fleet Admiral Yanamoto, minister of marine at Tokio, wired to Admiral Togo: Result splendid. While attrib- utable to the emperor's illustrious vir- tue. the loyal and gallant actions of of- fcers and men play conspicuous part. !" Admiral Togo, not to be outdone as a humoristand courier, declared that '.the fact that rot one man was injured in these attacks must be attributed to his majesty's glorious virtue

SECRECY IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Considered Bad for the Service to AL low Individual Acts of Hero
 ism to Be Exploited.

Secrecy is the keynote of the admin istration of both the army and the navy of Russia.
 Even eases of individual heroism are similarly concealed, except in time of war. The theory of the service is that every man is equal in all respects to his comrade of the same rank. He is as brave, as efficient and as loyal. It is considered bad for the service to al- low the limelight to fall upon partic- ular men, however heroically they may have acted, says the Louisville Courier Journal. And it is considered to be bad for the men, too--in which belief the Russian administration shows pretty good knowledge of human nature.
 A sailor may jump overheard and rescue his captain from death in shark infested waters or stoker may dare appalling danger to save the life of a comrade In an engine room accident Tn due course he will be rewarded and promoted, and throughout his career his superiors will remember the deed in his favor, but it will never become public. Rewards, promotions and dis functions are announced only in war time or in cases of very exceptional merit, and even in those cases no refer ence whatever is made to the occasion of the reward or special commendation in any published reports or orders.
 One branch of the Russian army is totally unlike any force possessed by other civilized powers. It is, of course, the Cossack levy, which numbers 142,- 900 men. Every able-bodied Cossack is liable to service, without limit of age He becomes liable at IS, and the liabil- ity does not cease so long as he is able to ride horse or carry gun But only a proportion of the CossacIs serve at one time. The rest are granted "un- limited leave" or belong to the reserve.
 The stimulus which provokeg the en- ergy and fighting qualities of the Rus sian soldier, melting to greater patriot ism and love of country, is unquestion- ably traced to the great interest mani fested by the ruler of all the Russias at all times for the men who fight his battles.

 Word comes by way of New Orleans that the Mississippi delegation to the democratic national convention will en- deavor to secure an anti-negro plank in the democratic platform. They do not ask for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment, but wish to deal with the subject of negro federal officials and the negro claim for social equality, while declaring in favor of education for the negro and his protection in all his civil rights. The idea of the Mis- sissippi politicians is that as Mississip- pi has been the chief point of attack by President Roosevelt it shall have some say in a declaration on the negro question.

The new science of criminal anthro- biology has done much to disclose the cause of criminal disposition in men, but it has no suggestions to make as to the prevention or punishment of crime, says writer in the National Magazine. It can only classify the facts 1t observes. Suggestions from expert criminologists are Of no more value than suggestions from any oth- CT kind Of men. The criminologist can tell us (and small comfort it is so to be told) that the professional thief is born and not made, and that thief he will remain by nature his whole life long. The cr1minologdst can tell Us that 1t is impossible to reform" the criminals character without re- forming his brain. The counterfeiter who has spent forty years in prison and is returned thtther at the age of seventy three does not argue much hope for the reform of criminals. But what is to be done with him? How is it possible to prevent a typically primitive, reversiye man such as the late Czolgosz, from using political methods which were quite common and natural with the savage ancestor of whom he was a type born out of time? Czolgosz did not slay because he was an anarchist. He slew be- cause he was primitive man. He was not an habitual criminal, and it was possible that he might never have acquitted himself in an extraordinary manner had not his environment, joined with his reversive brain, set up the association of ideas and the con sequent chain of circumstances that eliminated in his amazing deed The normal man is stupefied by the con- duct of Czolgosz and his kind; nor can the normal man understand the conscienceless burglar or highwayman who stays to rob.

TIE SOUTH SURE TO RESPOND

The Democratic Ma ional Committee
is already receiving some slight re-
Spouse to the appeal for financial as
sistaYce made IN the South a few days
ago by Chairman Peabody. The Re
publican party has It's millions, con-
tri' uted by the giant trusts to elect
r ,ostvelt, while the Democra ic COM
mittee has no funds except the volun-
tary contributions of citizens. Hence
the appeal of Chairman Peabody. Sew
eral Southern bankers in Savannah
end Atlanta to whom Mr. Peabody
has written, asking them to serve as a
finance committee to raise funds for
the campaign, have replied by sending
their personal checks, saying that
while they are in hearty sympathy with
the movement to secure the money
Which a proper conduct of the cam
paign requires, that better result can
be obtalne d if the work of raising cash
is done by the Democratic State Com
mittee. This is quite true, The
State Committees are the proper
authorities to appeal 10 meet the re-
quitements of the National Com
mittee. The officials of the State COM
mittee in every commonweal in the
South should at onte address them
selves to the task of soliciting con-
tributions from Democratic bankers,
man ufacturers, business men as well
as Individual citizens. Our people
should not loose sight of the fac that
if President Roosevelt is elected he
will be in position to make reprlsal on
he South for its resentment of his
negro policy, and that the negro ques-
ton will be reopened in a more dang
gerous and aggravating way than il
has yet been; that conditions VIII be
pre- cipitated which are sure to result
in seriously disturbing the p ace and
industrial progress of the whole
South, if nothing worse than that oc
ours We are glad to note that this
fact has impressed itself on the minds
of some of the Southern people anC
they are determined to give the Dem
ocratic National Committee the as
sistance Ii needs IN this, the most i'm
portant and critical stage OF the presi
