The War as an Adyertisemen ent.


The war between Russia and ia
pan, now practically at an end, may
be regarded as the most stupendous
advertisement of modern times-if
not, indeed, in the whole history OF
the world.
1t has advertised, for the Russian
nobility, their land hunger, their dis
regard Of solemn pledges, their boast
fulness and their incapacity to lead
their forces to victory on land or on
sea-
1t has advertised, for the Russian
people, their terribly oppressed condi-
tion, and has turned so fierce glare of
publicity upon them that for very
shame their rulers must consent to
some amelioration of their unhappy
lot.
1t has advertised, for the Japanese,
their previously unsuspected ability In
military and naval operations, the
wonderful capacity of their medical
department in time Of war, their dig
nifty and moderation as victors.
It has advertised, likewise, the tre-
mendous possibilities of the vast en-
pire Of China, as a factor Of immense
Importance In all future consideration
Of the far East. whether commercially
or otherwise.
Finally, 1t has advertised to every
thinking man In this country. in Great
Britain and in the nations Of continen-
tai Europe. the fact that In what ia
pan has done. and done so admirably,
there Is lesson Of becoming humility
to all other peoples on the earth.
The immensely costly publicity-in
other words, the advertising-of this
great war, has been such as to change
the aspect Of the whole world for all
mankind.
BY as much as we now have more
just appreciation of those who dwell In
the great areas abutting upon the
western shores of the Pacific ocean
by as much as we hold them in In
creasing respect because Of the events
Of recent months-by just so much
are we broadened in our conception Of
what Is due from us to them In the
future; and likewise are we taught the
truer patriotism Of moderating our
own national self -esteem.-Wade's

KNEW SOLOMON ALL RIGHT.-A little
girl who attended regularly a Sunday
school where the international lessons
were taught went one Afternoon to the

tions and was much mortified not to
be able to answer them.

Executive Departments at Washington
Contain Many "Failures."

Contain Many Failures"
That the executive departments at
Washington are veritable burying
grounds for disappointed hopes and
ambitions Of men trained for careers
in other branches Of life Is proved
by an interesting inquiry which was
made recently by Chief Clerk Will
liam H. Bayly Of the pension office,
There are 1900 clerks in the pension
Office, and Mr.. Bayly made a can
vass of them for the purpose of as
certaining the former occupations OF
the employees. The results were sur
prising.
It was found that the register Of
clerks contained the names Of near
ly 400 men who had prepared them
selves for the professions Of law,
medicine and theology. The gradu-
ates In law numbered 267, In medi-
cine 100 and in theology 20. Forty
clerks had been authors, AZ were
editors, IS were editors and publishers
81 were printers, 151 were newspaper
correspondents, were reporters, were
writer's and one confessed to having
been q poet. A total OF LA clerks
held diplomas from colleges and uni
versities.
Among the men now passing on
war claims who formerly held mill
tary titles are 1 major general, 1
adjutant general, s brigadier gener-
ais, s colonels, Z lieutenant colonies,
12 majors, 4S captains, 80 lieuten-
ants and 8 second lieutenants. the

who formerly had helped to frame
state laws, there being ex.mem.

her intimately, for, in point of fact
she does not go about much. I ran
across her at friends house the other

to 1t, and even the teacups shuddered
with horror at the woman's reply.

was half asleep. This would help the
claims of those who endow snakes with
power to fascinate birds. But there
is nothing to indicate that the snake
in question meant injury to the child
A bush clergyman visited me on one
occasion, and, dismounting, threw his
saddlebag on the veranda. The flar
fell open and a green whip snake pop
ped out. 1t happened that there was
no weapon handy, and the snake dis
appeared under the house. The clergy
man was greatly frightened. He cal
culated that the snake must have been
in his bag during his last ten mile ride
and reflected that he had put his hand
in several times for one article or an
other. He carefully examined his right
hand for marks of fangs, and became
reassured when not a single scratch
could be discovered.
We kept sharp lookout for some
days for the snake, and renewed ac-
quaintance with 1t under singular cir
cumstances. Minnie, the child pre-
viously alluded to, was overheard CIV
ing something like words of command

was no optical illusion. There, in real
fact, was a green whip snake dancing
before the child.
The inference was, of course, that II
was the clergymans whip snake. Its
motions were most grotesque, its head
lolling from side to side and occasion
ally shooting straight up. 1t evidently
danced for the entertainment of the
child. and responded with alacrity to
her words. The spell was broken by

and not with a spirit Of partisan
feeling so intense as to interfere
in business and social harmony.
Not few people have express
a desire for a crizens ticket TO
be placed in the field regardless Of
politics. If this can be brought
about we believe good would re-
suit to the city by doing away
with the strife so often found in
POLITICAL times and which is SO
unnecessary in city elections. II
this sentiment should not prevail,
the party members should use
good judgement in selecting our
city fathers.

Order In Churches.

Without doubt there are num-
Der of young people in every
community who do not sense the
sanctity of a place of worship.
Whose coduct indicates lack of
appreciation of the environments
or purposes of a religious gather
ing.
When speakers and listeners
are annoyed by whisperings or un-
necessary movements of thought
less people in church, something
should be done to teach the i'm
portance of order. Children from
10 TO IS years of age often cause
annoyance by unbecoming con-
duct. We do not desire to place
the whole responsibility for this
upon parents, but suspect that
they are entitled 10 considerable
censure for allowing their children
to go 70 meetings unaccompanied
by older persons who can and
should look after their behavior
Children should be taught that
order is the first law of heaven
and likewise a fundamental quality
Of worship. They should know
that there are times and places
where it is proper to be quiet and
patient. That the rights of others
should be respected as well as the
house and object of meeting
Aside from the necessity of or

the welfare Of the many. its value
to the individual should never be
lost sight of. He who would be-
come strong must govern ;elf.
Boys and girls should be taught

into practice the principles
taught until strength, spiritual,
intellectual. or physical will result
Willing compliance with es-
tablished justice is always best,
but when people consistently dis
turb meetings by whispering OF
passing in and out during service,
some one should correct the evi

Election.

Another election will soon be
here when the right of franchise
will be exercised in choosing city
officers.
Signs Of activity are apparent
in Salt Lake City among the
political parties, but thus far very
little interest has been shown in
the local election II is high time
that "yellow dog" politics should
be relegated TO the background by
every voter and little judgement
exercised when voting for city
officers. We are for the best men
for our city government, whether
dark or light complexioned, tall or
short, republican, socialist or
democrat. 1t often occurs that
the best man IS not the best poll
tician when radical politics control
the party worker or financial sup
port usually receives the nomi-
nation in spite of his better quail
fed fellow citizen. Thereby
men are elected to positions for
which they are wholly united
and the city may be handicapped
IN its prosperity by a poor adj
ministration.
We have no desire TO find fault
with the past nor present but be-
lieve that every citizen should be-
gin at once TO canvas the sit
uation with view Of participant
ing in the proceedings Of their
respective parties with WISDOM

Charged with an assault with a
deadly weapon on three different par
ties John w Aiken, of Harnett coun-
ty the lightning rod agent who stirred
up things at Wilborn near Holly
Springs was yesterday bound over to
court under a $3.50 bond by Justice

The trial was in the court house
and was attended by a very large
crowd of witnesses and spectators.
Aiekn was defended by Mr.. Herbert
E. Norris, Col. J. 9. l.. Harris, and
Mr.. w A. Stewart, of Dunn while
the State was represented by Solicitor
Armistead Jones, Mr.. w. I. Dortch,
of Goldsboro, and Col. +. NJ. Argo.
There were many witnesses but only
one was put on, this being Mr. Bran
ton Stevens, and the defendant sub
mitted, only the question of the
amount of bond being argued. In the
testimony given it was brought out
that Aiken had made assaults on John
Lyndon, Branton Stevens and Castor
WelIhorn, the attack on Lyndon be-
ing particularly fierce, Aiken having
nearly killed him. shooting at him
three times, kicking him and pur-
suing him. while Willborn ran and

Lyndon got out his knife and cut

and went after Willborn and Stevens
