which the dowager empress was honorary commander -
ST. Petersburg dispatch.
SO THIS is the saddest note-eh?
St Petersburgs peacock set has lost of it's best
strutting most gorgeously -hued peacocks.
AT last things besides people have encount-
cred slaughter and into the exclusive salons and bou
dors of the houses of the mobiles themselves goes the
viction that ''war is hell"
The blood soaked plains of Manchuria dotted with
hundreds of thousands of greves of slain Russian soldiers
The waters of the eastern and straits dyed and
cogged with the blood and bodies of thousands of Russian
sailors The homes of Russia have been turned into houses
of mourning and the waing and moaning of widows and
orphans penetrate all the world except the thick walls and
the hard hearts of the bureaucras of Russas capital
These sad notes. but not the saddest Oh no; the
saddes that few perfumed and befred dandies got
in the way of the impartial shot of the jap
One Of the worlds greatest navies has been annihated
of the world greatest armies has been shatered
of the worlds greatest nations has been brought close to
ruin.
But the sad thing that the houses of the Russian mob
les have at last suffered personal loss and social events
at ST. Petersburg will for while be less ornamental than
heretofore.
For year, the lifeblood of the Russian empire has
been gushing in stream and its bone and snew have
been crunchng under the uggernaut of hopeless war
The nation money has been spent and its credit ruined
its industry and the spirit of its people deadened

worthless mobiles was spilled in the Korean strait.

No Pardons For Bank WreCkers

President Roosevelt has no executive clemency to be-
stow on bank wreckers
In this respect his administration shows departure
Both Cleveland and Mckinley exercised freely the pardon
ing power In behalf of convcts in federal prisons under
gong punishment for embezzement and bank wreckng.
Roosevelt believes in the square deal" applied to
all law breakers.
Extraordinary pressure has been brought to bear upon
HIM recently to the pardon of two bank presidents
who are in the pententary for embezzng the funds of
their banks
The president is not hard hearted man. On the con-
trary he has warm heart and mpusve and generous
nature He is not only intensely human but intensely hui
name But he has also strong of justice and high
regard for the majesty of the laws The of the
laws according to his view know distinction of
men.
Moreover
The Rooseveltian idea is that where there is great
trust there is a great responsibility.
The banker who voluntarily the charge of the
peoples money must be held to strict accountability He
trades confidence He is the only in the
ity of whom security, beyond that of his word, is
quired His promise to pay is sacredly binding obliga
ton In his betrayal of confidence is or crime
Roosevelt does well in such instances to refuse pardon
There must be bending of the federal laws to shield
the rich culprts.
