UnaIterable Duties of America

In foreign affairs we must make
up our minds that whether we
wish it or not, we are a great peo-
pie and must play a great part in
the world. 1t is not open to us
to choose whether we will play
that great part or not. We have
to play it; all we can decide is
whether we shall play it we'll or
i'll. And l have too much conf
dence in my COuntrymen to doubt
what the decision will be. Our
mission in the world should be one
of peace, but not the peace of
Cravens, the peace granted con-
temptuously to those who purchase
it by surlendering the right. No!
Our voice must be effective for
peace because it is raised for
righteousness first and for peace
only as the handmaiden of right
eousness. We must be scrupulous
in respecting the rights of the
weak, and no less careful to make
it evident that we do not act
through fear of the strong. We
must be scrupulous in doing JUS
tice to others and scrupulous in
exacting justice for ourselves. We
must beware equally of that SIMS
ter and cynical teaching which
would persuade us to disregard
ethical standards in international
relations, and of the no less hurt
full folly which would stop the
whole work of civilization by a
well-meant but silly persistency in
trying to apply to people unified
for them those theories of govern
ment and of national action which
are only suited for the most ad-
vanced races. In particular we
must remember that in undertake
ing to build the Panama canal we
have necessarily undertaken to
police the seas at either end of it;
and this means that we have a
peculiar interest in the preserva-

A Printers Odd Mistake
Chicago Record-Herald.

Chicago Record-Herald.
One Of the comical errors that
at times appear i'll print was
furnihed some years ago and is
recalled by the recent electrical
disturbances in this city. A fierce
storm had ragged in the city, one of
the tall buildings being struck by
lightning and badly damaged. In
the rinted report one sentence read
that the lightning had appeared to
enter the structure with a $4,000
motion.
Everybody was puzzled at what
the phrase meant. and there was
much speculation even by meteor
ologists, but a close examination
of the reporters copy disclosed
the answer to the riddle. He
wrote a bad hand, anyway, and,
besides, had been compelled to pen
the storm story in great haste, 1t
was discovered that actually he had
written zigzag notion" but the
penmanship was so bad that the
intelligent compositor who put the
sentence in type thought the
zigzag" was $4,000" The
blunder furnished a nickname for
both reporter and compositor that
to them until they died.

JUDGE HUNT TO TRY CASES.
Will Probably Take up the Work of
Probing Land Frauds.

Washington, May 13.-Attorney Cen
eral Moody had conference with the
president regarding the successor to
Charles B. Bellinger, district judge for
the district of Oregon, who died Fri
day night Judge Bellinger was to
have tried the case of Senator J. H.
Mitchell and others indicated for con-
spiracy to defraud the government in
certain land cases. No decision has
yet been reached as to who will be
appointed as Judge Bellinger's success
sor. The situation in Oregon is Pc
culiar One senator and one repre-
sentative are under Indictment. They
can not be consulted, of course, as to
the appointment. In view of the con-
dition existing, it is quite probable
that Judge William H. Hunt of Mon
tana will be designated to try the land
fraud cases. 1t may be some time
before the permanent successor to
Judge Bellinger is named.

Lewiston, Idaho, May 15.-The
Lewiston & Southern Electric railway
Sunday countered upon the Northern
Pacific by putting so men, with teams
and scrapers, to work upon the right
of way three miles south of this city,
at the mouth of Tammany hollow, the
gateway from Lewiston to the prairie
country. The men are divided into
two crews, one working toward the
city and the other working in the op-
posite direction. This force will prob
ably be doubled tomorrow.
This move was wholly unexpected,
even by many citizens who have been
leaders in the subscription campaign,
as it was only last night at midnight
that Colonel Judson Spofford closed
the contract with Naylor & Norlin for
six miles of grading.
The men were at work at o'clock
Sunday morning, and at s o'clock
some of the promoters of the project
gathered at the mouth of the gulch
and drank toasts to the success of
the enterprise. Toasts were given by
