The wonderful accuracy of the gum
ners on the Japanese vessels has at
tracted the attention of the entire
world. A war correspondent has writ
ten from Japan to his home paper stat
ing that at a practice shoot he had
seen three torpedoes discharged with
perfect accuracy at a target 5000
yards away. The first shot was so
accurate that a naval attache re-
marked that the gunner could rest
content. The other two were fired,
however, with equal accuracy. Under
these conditions it is not to be Won
dered that the Russians seem disin
clined to take their vessels out of
safe harbors when such marksmen as
the little brown men appear to be are
waiting for active practice"

One of old Jobs desires was that
mine adversary had written a book"
Whatever else the Democratic National
Committee may complain Of there will
be no necessity of uttering this his
toric cry of Job. The President has
written more books than one and they
are continually causing him worry and
delighting his opponents. Just at
present his managers are busily en-
gagged in explaining to the Quakers
of Indiana that Mr.. Roosevelt was
casting no slurs on them when he
wrote to the effect that the man who
always refrained from war and fight
ing was more dangerous in a COM
munity than the fre-eater. The
strenuous actions of the President
since he has been in the White House
will make it hard for the staid old
Quakers to determine in what way he
has changed his opinion.

Chairman Taggart and his assist
ants in Indiana have come to the con-
clusion that the Democrats have a
chance TO elect two United States
senators from the Hoosier State, ac-
cording to a story in the indianapolis
News. Can 1t be possible that Sena-
tor Fairbanks agrees with them to the
extent of fearing that the only way
he can keep 1t from being a certain
chance is by retaining his seat in the
Senate. When his action is contrast
ed with that of Judge Parker there
does seem to be considerable lack
of confidence In the Democratic vice
presidential candidate as to the out
come Of the approaching election.

manhood.
When a lad be gave his heart to his
Savior. and united with the Baptist
church here in 1896, and since that time
he has lived q consistent Christian life.
From human point OF view his death

who doeth all things well, has ordered 1t
otherwise. Many shall miss him, but
none as much as bis grief stricken and
devoted loved ones. He leaves TO mourn
his departure his two sisters, Mrs. r. A
