SeeEiN6 Satisfaction,

BISHOP McCABE IN the course of a sermon at
st. Paul's M E. Church at Hartford, Conn., said:
II do not wanttwars and / do not like them, but
there is Just one war would like to live to see
would like to the United States and the British
government form an alliance and make Turkey stop
her Armenian murders
The bishop is right. Turkey should be brought to
book. These Armenian atrocities should end. In
this age such barbarties are out of place But is it
necessary to go to war? This would check one evil
at the expense Of another While seeking satsfac-
ton for the assassnatons already committed such
war would entail further sacrifice Of human life.
War would not benefit the dead Armenlans. War
would mean the massacre of thousands of human be-
ings whose death would greater loss to hu-
mainly than those already killed In war with
Spain we fought for satisfaction We received it.
But at what a cost The dead sailors still lie in
Havana's cemeteries. The battleship Maine still lies
at the bottom of Havana harbor. In the Philippines
the war still goes on. Satisfaction! It is expen-
sive luxury. Nations cannot afford it. Neither
individuals. When the latter take the law into their
own hands and seek satisfaction, they are quickly
apprehended and punished. No, it does not pay to
seek satisfaction. The price is too great.

Our Grand J11rY.

FROM time to time the suggestion has been adj
yanced that the grand jury should be abolished As
yet the suggestion has not been received very ser-
ousIy nor is the subject being discussed at any
length. Those who have proposed this constitution
al amendment advocate dispensing with indictments
by grand juries. This power they believe, should
be delegated to the prosecuting attorneys. In the
light of history this move is not justifabe. Modern
conditions may demand such change; but would
the change remedy any Of the alleged shortcomings
of the present system?
The system is sound This much is granted. If
any defects have been discovered these defects exist
in the grand jurors whose duty 1t is to administer
impartial justice. In such cases the grand jurist
should be held responsible and not the grand jury. If
this proposed constitutional amendment were adopt
ed, would it remedy these defects? What amend
ment proviso could any human being suggest that
would make prosecuting attorneys invulnerable
against public opinion, the narrowing appeals of
friends, or the ever present bride giver?
Now, if our grand jurists have allowed them
selves to be swayed by public opinion, it is reason
able to suppose that this public opinion would be
accentuated if county attorneys had the power Of
returning indictments. On the other hand if these
public prosecutors infallible the change would
not only facilitate the legal machinery, but would
prove beneficial from an economical standpoint
Considering that politics is more closely connected
with the public prosecutors Office than it is with the
grand jury, the proposed change not likely to be
received very enthusiastically.

Japanese MYths.

The following is one of many weird stories that
have recently emanated from Japan AS it concerns
Admiral Togo we copy it verbatim: "In his youth
Togo and his fellow students at the Japanese naval
academy we're accustomed to attend an annual ban
quet. They sat at circular table around slowly
revolving loaded with ball and trained to
the level of their heads The trigger was so arranged
that it could be touched from hidden source out
side of the banquet hall That at some time during
the banquet the cannon would be fired everyone at
the table knew; but just when or in what direction
it would be pointing mystery OF course,
there was a possibility that the ball might crash
harmlessly between the heads Of two banqueters but
it was equally probable that it might carry off the
head of some student. Yet no one finched The
chances were equal to ALL
This sounds like romance. But it is nothing
compared to the method we have in America for
teaching the general public to be fearless and
calm in the face Of death. Have not our passen-
ger trains? Japan may boast Of her to teach
the naval aspirant coolness but her method is prm
tive in comparison to our railroad trains Our
method can't be beat.

Whither fire We Driftin6?

The presidential election is over. The smoke of
battle has drfed away. AS the atmosphere clears we
perceive how sangunary the contestants have fought
We can now review the methods used by these ex-
pert campaigners. AS pass upon their work,
ask himself "Whther are we drifting?" When the
chief magistrate of country is assaulted by vtu-
peratve language too crude and vulgar for repetition
it is time that a pause made. To refer to our
leading citizen as "The Big Stick" "The Boss, y
"The Peanut Politician, may be good(? p politics,
but it is poor manners. Expediency may Justify
such procedure; but decency and responsibility de-
mand higher code of ethics when referring to the
man whom the nation has exalted with the highest
gift within her power.
This is free country. "A free press is of our
cherished institutions But what must Europeans
think of us when they confronted by some of the
inappropriate phrases which are constantly being
hurled at the head Of the nation? Surely they must
imagine that we have lost caste since the days of
Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, and Adams. lie we
do not respect our presidents, foreign nations are
not likely to do so. Our public officials should be
worthy Of respect; but if we refer to them in the
language of the ward heller, precedent will have
been established that will add to the danger sur
rounding the republic
This coarseness is not confined to yellow jour-
nalism Some of our highly respectable papers have
left the conservative ranks and joined the radicals
both in thought and dignity Even that bulwark of
conservatism the Re0iezO Of RevIeaOs, condescends
from it's habitual dignity and reprints many cartoons
which attack the president in vulgar suggestions

MosT of the men who are considered great have
made mistakes at one time or another in their ca
reers The man who has never made mistake is
usually one who has accomplished nothing worthy Of
praise or condemnation District Attorney Jerome's
methods often severely criticised. The mistakes
which he may have made however, are infnitesimal
in comparison to the high ideals which he inculcates.
Mistakes have made many men great, while others
have been sent to the penitentiary for making them
The man who profits by the mistakes others make,
is success. But the who fears to push ahead
on account of his timidity of making Mistakes will
never get any further than his pluck will take him.

Increased Use of Electricity.

An excellent il1ustration of how
electricity is superseding steam in
many quarters is found in contract
recently awarded by the Empire Ship
building company, of Buffalo. This
company has decided to use electric
power to pump out it's floating dry
docks in the Erie basin. The motors
to be constructed will work the pumps
much faster than the steam engines
formerly in use, it being estimated
that the docks can be cleared in two
and one-half hours less time. To ac-
complish this thirty-fve horse power
motor will be located on each of the
two docks, and the electricity will be
supplied by cable laid along the bot
tom of the basin.

REQ HARD TO DIGEST.
Philadelphia Canary Swallowed Sol
itaire and Died.


For pecking a valuable diamond
from an earring belonging to Mrs.
Frank Paul of 5S41 Arch street. a pet
canary bird paid the death penalty.
Mrs. Paul had placed the bird cage
on sitting room table and was en-
couringing the canary to MARBLE for
some visitors when the little crea-
ture ate the unusual repast. The ear
ring was lying on the table alongside
If the cage and within reach of the
canary. The bird examined the jewel
for some time, and after arriving at
the conclusion that it was a worm of
some rare species, pecked at it and
swallowed the stone in a gulp- The
loss of the diamond in this manner
caused a sensation in the Paul fam
lily. and every one planned out one
scheme after another for recovery of
the jewel. The bird was not in the
least embarrassed by the rich diet
adopted, but while the hostess griev-
ed it sang merry songs of joy in all
the bird languages. Finally Mrs. Paul
decided to send for physician. She.
did not wish to lose her pet, and still
less her diamond. so she intended to
ask the doctor to perform a surgical
operation on the bird. While Mr..
Paul was on his way for the physi-
clan the canary died suddenly from
acute digestion.-Philadelp In

Rent Radium by Hour.

When one reads of the considerable
use that is being made incidentally Of
radium it seems hardly credible that
so much can have been made of SO
little The amount procurable in Lon
don to-day is considerably less than a
grain. Consequently, as only a linn
tied number of medical men can have
an opportunity of utilizing this weird
chemical, it is suggested that chem
lists should follow the example of one
of their number, who has obtained
small tube containing five milli-
grammes of radium bromide. and
hires it out at 81 so an hour This is
surely the strangest development OF
modern pharmacy.

That well-known legal light of the

Lewis, is fond OF telling Of the .yicissi-

''In Boise City, Idaho" says Mr..
Lewis. Il was once called upon to
undertake the defense of Texan who
Turing visit to our city had in the
course of an alteration rather seri-
ously done up one of our prominent
citizens.
During the progress of the trial
observed that our Texan friend seem
ed not in the least worried as to the
outcome. Things looked bad for him
and I told him so. Yet he didn't wOr-
ry bit. One day I said to him:

matter a trifle too complacently. I
desire to impress upon you the fact
that there is a very fair chance that
you'll be jailed for this.
"Whereupon, for the first time, the
Texan began to evince signs OF
alarm.
'--Say, sport said he, is that right?'
1t certainly is 1 replied.
AT this the Texan began to stride
about the room, all the time pulling
fiercely at his big mustache. Finally
he stopped and, bringing down his fist
upon the table between us, he yelled:
