TWO STRICKEN HOMES.
A Murdered Infant, a Wourded Mother,
A Beaten Wife and Suicide
Husband
RUM, WHlSKEY, BEER.

Elkins, West Virginia, has had
The bitter exp rience OF many other
towns for the Ignorance of that part
Of God 5 word which says: Woe
unto him that putteth the bottle to
thy neighbors lips. Elkins, by
her ballot put the bottle to the lips
Of one of her citizens until the city
has been made to hang its head 10
shame. The history Of murdered
infant, wounded mother, beat
en- wife and suicide husband fills
another blood stained page in the
chapter which the saloon l. writing
for our children TO read a. the work
OF christian nation.
The following letter speaks none
TOO strongly. Read wnat II says;
ponder what it means:
"Score up two stricken homes.
Score up in one murdered irflnt
and a wounded mother Score up
IN the other beaten wife, a hus-
band sped into eternity by his own
hand Whisky was alone to
blame, says the paper Murder
spelled backward, Is red rum and
red rum only too commonly spells
murder.
OH says the liquor man that is
trite, that is an old story Yes. 1t
is so old. yet when will our eyes be
open and we learn wisdom as peo-
ple? Still there are those in Bar
bour county who advocate the open
licensed saloon and a commissioner
who will vote fJr wholesale house
contrary to his election promise
Swee. must be the sleep OF him who
sold the rum that induced that
bloody deed in Elkins. Sweet
must be the thought OF citizen or
commissioner who could feel that
rum was sold with bis consent and
sooroval. The blood Of the limo
cent cries out against them !
Revenue you say. Go ask that
stricken father and husband what
this is worth in revenue. Can you
pile up gold to hide the blood OF
that innocent child killed in the
trns OF its mother Revenue when
will our eyes be open to the tact
that rum costs the people ten dol
llrs for every one il pays In reven-
u? On the testimony OF lawyers
and jndges, three-quarters TO nine
tenths OF the cases in our courts
can be traced back to rum.
In an adjoining state, within a
month. mother was dishonerec
and murdered and the husband
came home at Loon to find his wife
dying and his beautiful three-year
old child in a pool of its own blood
with its throat cut. dead. 1t cos
the state 500, 900 to catch, keep
and convict the brute who commit
ted the crime. 1t cost the brute,
probably ten cents for rum to get
into condition to do it. The state
gets one mill IN taxes, ana our lonS
headed, short cared citizens talk ol

Count up the murders that Ran.
d)lpn county has had in the past
three years Rum has been the
cause Of nearly all Of them. Gc
ask the widow and the fatherles'
child, 90 to the home stricken with
shame through the son dying OF
the 5caffJld! Contrast the com
paratively clean record Of Barbour

Barbour have occured-where run
flows freest. What is the lessons
More rum?' Nol Not on our hands

Caesar and Caesars Wife.

There is q whole lot OF food for
solid thought in the recent ruling of
a Western Judge, that the wife has
the same right TO remain out at
night, to drink and to gamble that
the husband has.
This ruling suggests for our con-
sideration q most vital truth, truth
which has, from the beginning Of
human history, been for the most
part overlooked.
The truth | refer to is this, that
Right and Wrong are not questions
OF sex, but are, ever have been, and
will continue to be the same for
both man and woman.
False as il is dangerous aud de.
grading is the idea contained in the
too familiar phraas-"The Double
Standard Of Morals.
Such standard never existed save
in the minds OF immoral men, and
had it never been heard of the world
would now be great deal better
than it is.
There 10 but one morality, and
this one morality holds good for all
moral beings, Of whstever race, sex
or age.
Alike for all men and for all wo-
men, there 10 the way that is right
and the way that is wrong.
A wrong in q man is wo 9 in
woman, and, conversely, that which
is right for the man is ais right for
the woman.
There is but one moral Law Gnd
whoever breaks il breaks il; and
whoever keeps it keeps it and that
is all there is to il.
As has been already intimated, il
is only our moral ignorance that
csusee usto do this. Ii is decidedly
wrong for a woman to smirch her
woman hood but it is not tit
worse than it is for a man to degrade
his hood.
Man has no more right than wo.
man to uifie with the moral law.
Our old friend, Caesar, was q
very great man when it came TO
manipulating political caucuses and
wiping out hostile populations, but
he was a mere tyro when it came to
the canons Of human decency and
goodness.
! He wss one Of history's most con.
spicuous champions OF the "double
standard" idea. For such standard
he was, in fact, a mighty sti~ kler.
No matter what happened, Caesars
vile had 10 be "above suspicion. "
But Caesar? Ah, that was an
other mattorl Caesar was Caesar
AMI Caesar 8 vile was Caesars wife !
Wise as be was-and intsllectu-
ally he was one of the greatest men
whom history gives US any informa-
tion-the great julius did not seem
to understand the simI le ethical
principle that the moral law that
applied to his wife applied also and
with equal force to himself
II is this miserable inconsistency
and hypocrisy that is making the
most OF our domestic trouble for us
1t is this old lie Of the double stan.
darn that is at the bottom OF the
greter number Of our divorces.
Let man be what he wouln have
women be and all will be we'll.

Japs in Pursuit.

st. Petersburg, By Cable.-Generai
Linevitch, in telegram to the Emper-
or, dated August s, reports that the
Russian forces operating to the east
ward of the mandarin road advanced
August 5th towards a detlle near the
village of Chagon, "a miles south or
Taulu. The japanese assumed the Of
fensive and turned both f1anks, COM
pelling the Russians to retreat to the
northward. The Japanese followed in
pursuit and again encountered part
of the Russian force, which halted in
the Nadoulin gorge. but after hot
fusilade they returned to the south
ward. The Russians in the Hailung-
cheng district, the general says, occu-
pied the village of Yulangtse after

vcrCally observed in Russia as a day
of rest.
The Russians had not been anxious
for session, and the Japanese took
the initiative. and. through the inter-
medlary of Mr. Pierce, it was decided
10 postpone the sitting until Monday
morning. The situation therefore re-
mains the same. 1t would perhaps not
be too much to say that the general
feeling is more hopeful. in spite nf omen
negotiations that before next Sunday
the plenipOtentiarieS will reach a"
pa&Se where a rupture will become inev-
liable. This peSSimistic view Is n+>'1

big barriers to an agreement-indein-
nlty and Sakhalin-remain as high and
1nsurmOuntable as ever.

The real struggle is only postponed.
The main problems are no nearer SOlu-
tion than when the plenipOtentiar1es

miSm lies in the fact that. confronted

tlOn of Japan's "prepOnderating influ-
ence' over Korea, involving her right
to control the administration of the
hermit kingdom, use the 1ittOral for
StraSetlc purposes, etc. was of re-
markable character. Indeed the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Witte was sensa-
tlOnal in the extreme. His attitude re-
veals plainly the Russian tactics They
propose to raise before the world the
spectre of the yellow peril" Russia
claims that Japans present purpose
is to get 4 fOothold on the Asiatic con-
tlnent from which to extend her in1u-
snce and dominion.
Mr. Witte made no objection, but he
declared that the words "preponderat-
ing influence" did not adequately de-
scribe what Japan proposed to do, and
he insisted that the language used
should show Japans true purpose
which he contended was to make jap
anese province of Korea.
BASIS OF NEGOTIATION
The cession of the Russian leases to
the Liaotung Peninsular, comprising
Port Arthur and Dalny.
The evacuation of the entire province
of Manchuria, the retrocession to Chi
ma of any privileges Russia may have
in the province and the recognition by
Russia of the principle of the "open

The grant of fishing rights to Japa-

Finally limitation upon the naval
strength of Russia in far Eastern
waters.

as exceedingly hard by the Russians
In addition to the two principal condi
tions. which cannot be accepted under
Mr.. Witte's instructions. those relating
to the limiting of Russia's naval power
in the far east and the granting OF
fishing rights upon the Russian lit
toral are considered particularly Of
