TOGO and Nelson.

Togo's signal was In substance that of
Nelson at Trafalgar. The Japanese did
their utmost and smashed the Russians.
The English did their duty. as England ex-
pectcd and smashed the French. In both
cases the victory was complete. And in
both cases the character of the author en-
phasized the signal. 1t was not merely a
call to battle. 1t was call to battle by a
commander who knew how to do battle
and whose men believed in him implicitly.
No man in Nelson's fleet ever doubted the
result when Nelson headed for the enemy.
That meant a grapple to the death by
sailor whose eye was as unerring as his
heart was stout And we have the same
thing in the case of Togo. With his men
he stands for victory. They obey him with
all the more ardor because they believe in
him. He has proved his quality to them,
as to all the world. When he commands
them to do their utmost they know that he
Is doing his utmost, and that that means

Shooting Burglars and Others.

a householder who is aroused at night
by a burglar who has entered the house
has a perfect right to shoot to kill But
this right does not go so far as to warrant
him in shooting at anybody outside of his
house whom he may believe to be fleeing
thief. The difference is accentuated by a
case just reported from New Brunswick,
n. j. A householder was awakened by
noise at one of the windows, and went out
of doors to investigate. He saw nothing
suspicious little later he heard the
noise again. and he and his sons rushed out
OF the house with guns. A man darted
from the vicinity of the house into the
shelter of some bushes too quickly for
the pursuers to fire. Just then a young
man, who had been calling on young
woman a little distance up the road and
had sat up In the parlor with her rather
late. went humming along on his bicycle.
The men with guns thought he was the
fleeing burglar and called to him to halt.
He thought he was being held up, and.
after declaring that he would shoot If mo-
Tested, scorched along down the road Two
loads of buckshot were sent after him and
he was severely, perhaps mortally
wounded.
The theory on which public sentiment
and the law justify a man In killing night

The citizen cannot safely constitute him

One, Two, Three in the Race.

The international yacht race for the
kaiser's cup resulted in manner to en-
courage the belief that the contest will be-
come a permanent institution. The three
leading yachts. Atlantic, Hamburg and
Valhalla represent the three nations en-
tered in the competition. Thus all of the
rivals in some measure have reason to feel
satisfied with the showing. Perhaps in
view of this result the next contest may
attract a larger number of foreign yachts,
so that the German and English chances
for securing the cup will be increased OF
course however, in order to win they must
build better boats than the Atlantic. or de-

The Spark Of Civilization.

The instantaneous flash of President
Roosevelt's signal across the continent for
the opening of the Portland exposition
stands in eloquent evidence of the marvel
Gus changes which time has wrought in the
century that has elapsed since Lewis and
Clark traversed the land in exploration OF
the great northwest. When those intrepid
men pushed into the wilderness there were
no railroads, and of course no telegraph
lines. Letters went by courier, along per-
ilous routes. Starvation and attacks by
hostile Indians menaced the bearers Of mes
sages successful bearer of letter, trav-
cling as rapidly as possible with all the
necessities of provisioning and defense.
would perhaps have made inc journey from
Washington to Portland in 1905 in about
half year. 1t took Lewis and Clark
nearly fifteen months to cross the conti-
nent.
1t is difficult for the present generation
change. The men of middle age nowadays
have been familiar throughout their lives
with rapid railroading and instantaneous
communication. In city life they have
grown accustomed to rapid transit for cover
ing even fractions of a mile. They have &C
cepted the telephone as part of the daily
routine. They protest vehemently when
ever some accident interferes with the IA
cilities. When a great storm isolates them
for few hours from connection with the
world beyond they marvel at the disaster
and faint appreciation of their modern
blessings dawns upon them.
The lesson of the telegraph and the rail-
road is being steadily taught world
events occur in which the means of imme-
date communication are utilized. The
echoes of the naval battle in the Japan sea
are just dying out, and yet the whole world
save perhaps a small section under the
Russian rule-knows the details, knows the
extent of the losses the names of the slain
leaders, almost the number of shots fired.
And even more remarkable is the fact that
during his weeks of waiting in the harbor
of Masampho Korea, Admiral Togo was
kept accurately Informed of the movements
of the gradually approaching enemy by
means of wireless communications from his
scout ships. Had this battle been fought
hundred years ago Washington would have
learned the news perhaps by the first OF
September.

he is not, however, a candidate for another
term as President. he is not electioneering

Fitness for War.


From the New York Times.

forces at least this moral. that bad gov

Graf is to make war 1t is in the highest
degree necessary that his autocracy should

example of the Car of Russia, whose gov
eminent is one of the very worst in the
world, makes all that very plain. indeed.
