THE GREATEST WAR OF
HISTORY, SAYS GEN. MILES

Notwithstanding all our advocacy of the
principles of peace and good will; notwith-
standing our boast that we have made
great progress and reached a higher civili-
cation; that we are living in an era of en-
lightenment, of general intelligence, OF edu-
cation. of reiinement--yet the savage and
barbarous elements of our nature do pre-
vail and the harsher measures of maintain
ing government, perpetuating and expand
ing the rule and power of nations, is used
today in greater degree than ever before.
Sometimes this theory of promoting com
mereial expansion opening countries for
commerce, is called spheres of influence
and missionary work, yet the result is that
the stronger powers are using the engines
Of war
Fleets, battleships, divisions and corps
of wcil-drilled disciplined troops and all
the appliances of the science of war are
used to expand the territory of nations or
to subjugate peoples of foreign countries
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1904-04-01

standing armies of the world-are con
cerned. and the result of which is destined
to affect, perhaps seriously, more people
than any war yet prosecuted in ancient OF
modern times.
Whether it shall result in the successful
invasion of Asia by the European powers;
whether after the exhaustion of treasure
and human life it shall result in com
promise or settlement by arbitration, OF
whether it shall arouse war spirit in the
breasts of the hundreds of millions of the
Asiatics until they shall become not only
a dangerous element but possible menace
to our industries if not our civilization,
remains yet to be determined
Before proceeding to the consideration OF
description of the countries at present
directly involved, it may be we'll to note
in brief some of the more salient features
concerning the great celestial empire,
which was primarily the one most concern
Ell and whose destiny is most likely to be
affected by the war now pending. In my
next letter | viii take M the matter OF
China.

to the control of the central power.
Never before in the history of the world
were so many millions of intelligent,
skilled, welldrilled and well-armed men or
gained among the civilized nations. Never
before were so many semi-civilized men
and savages organized instructed, drilled,
disciplined and trained for war to carry
out the purposes and designs of the power
controlling not only their own native lands
but using them and transporting them to
different parts of the world to be used in
the subjugaton of other countries to the
ahiect subserviency that has been required
of them in the countries to which they be
longed.
The great problem now being slowly
solved in the orient is one in which more
of tibet great powers OF the world-the
powers that control the great fleets and

the Democratic platform which reads as
follows; To promote and preserve the
purity of the young men and women of our
city is a most sacred duty. In obedience
to this duty every law enacted for the
protection of minors should be strictly en-
forced, and any vice that cannot be sup
pressed by law must be restrained by
strict police surveillance and the peace
and good order Of the city maintained
That is the platform upon which
stand, and If am elected | shall certainly
live up to IT,"
o. G. Ellis spoke at length, devoting
the most OF his time to the same subject
and attempting TO show that the immoral
element is supporting the present admin
istration; that they are satisfied with it,
and that they fear the election OF George
=. Wright to the position of mayor of
the city.
He also took up the matter of voting
straight tickets and strongly urged every
one to vote for the best man in every
instance, regardless Of what his national
politics might be.
j. I. Eshelman declared that Candidate
Wright was and always had been in favor
Of the independent voter; that. in fact.
he himself was one. He urged everyone
to consider the best interests Of the city
before voting, and charged them all with
the responsibility that attached thereto
T.. l.. Hiberly and John Leo both made
short addresses urging the election of Mir.
Wright and the balance of the ticket.

STREET PREACHER
USED HIS FISTS

SEATTLE, April l. An itinerant
preacher who was expounding his doctrine
on the corner of Pike street and Second
avenue last evening became incensed at
the remarks of one of his auditors and
decided to use other than moral suasion
on him. The sinners who had congregat-
ed to listen to the sermon seemed to
relish the change Of program. the congre-
cation increasing in numbers rapidly, UNI
til e. w. Rossman. Renton coal dealer,
arrived and separated them. No arrests
were made.

the latter filed the formal appointment in
the office OF the city clerk. Later in the
day Chief Delaney filed his oath of office
and official bond and left the mayors Of
flee, prepared to enter upon his new du-
ties with the beginning of the new day.
Chief Delaney's induction into office was
somewhat out of the ordinary, in that
every available member of the force was
assembled at headquarters, where Mayor
Ballinger addressed them informally and
introduced their new chief

\ Thought.

Alfred Jeffries brought the JOURNAL
an armfull of huge grapes few days
ago, home grown.
Which suggests soil-value here far
beyond current recognitiOn-not for
grapes merely, but for kindred growths.
This, in addition to an intimation by
one of Cumberland's wisest economists,
constitutes the surest basis for Frost
burg's continued importance as town.
That intimation was this-that the
eastern slopes of the Alleghanies here
about should be early dedicated to and
utilized for sheep growing industry
which places two ever-valuable products
in market-mutton and wool.
Is it too early to consider this section
as valuable only for the production of a
declining supply of coal?
Since the foregoing paragraphs We're
placed in type Miss Rose Haberlein, of
the Beall High School faculty, has con-
tributed basketball of massive grapes,
which "cumulates the testimony" as a
good lawyer would very nearly say.
J. w. Shea, too, found monster
apple on Maple street tree, and now
the JOURNAL has to add the word,
orchard" to vineyards and sheep
farms.

Death Of a Good Citizen.

Many people were saddened Thurs
day morning by the intelligence that
"Charles H. Wade is dead ~ He had
been i'll for some time and confined to
his house several months. Early this
week he became unable to take nOurish-
ment and thence steadily sank until
death came to his relief.
Mr.. Wade was son of the late
Henry J. Wade and was born on Or
mand street, this place, October 7, 1855.
Had he lived one more day he would
have been 40 years old. He was a
grocer, occupying for many years the
western corner of Union street and
Broadway. He served one term as
Mayor, and in all his relations with the
public was a quiet, good, exemplary
citizen. His fortitude and patience
under tie adverse conditions of his last
months drew to him the admiration as
well as sympathy of all who knew him.
The survivors of his family are the
widow, a daughter-Miss Florence, and
three sons Clarence. Clayton and
Frank Not the least among the many
who deplore his death is his good
mother, Mrs. Henry J. Wade. Several
sisters and brothers also survive.
Mr. Wade was n member of both the
Ancient Order of United Workmen and
Modern Woodmen.
The funeral will be held at the
family residence, Broadway, this (Sat-
urday) afternoon at IL o'clock.
