privilege Of fighting in battle, but in
doing the duty that was nearest he
performed a greater service. This
story illustrates how we may, in long
ing for opportunities that are beyond
us, neglect the present duties on
which our destinies may turn.
There is a solemn duty for every
man in this republic. This is a gov
eminent, in theory, of the people, for
the people and by the people. If it is
not SO in fact anywhere the people are
to blame. Whenever corruption grows
upit IS not because the people govern,
but because they do not govern,
through Indifference.
/ wish the duties Of citizenship were
taught to the young more in every
school, SO that all might appreciate
what it means to be an American
citizen. The selfish people who would
make money at the expense of the
common good are morally. blind, and
cannot appreciate how the individual
serves his interest 1y promoting the
public good. Those who understand
the relation Of the common good to
the individual interest should incul-
cate among the people the supreme
value of this doctrine.
It would be well to have the pupils
rise in their places each morning and
put the question, sHow can man serve
his best INTEREST," and then give the
answer, Man serves his best interest
by promoting the common good"
This idea is the foundation of char
acter-building, and is most i'm
portant subject of education In a
monarchy all authority is in the
crown, and is delegated by the king to
those beneath. In a republic such as
ours the people are sovereign. Each
American is one-seventy- five-nilliont
. of a sovereign on the throne ofAmeri-
can manhood. It may seem small, but
it marks the difference between the
citizen and the subject. -
Men have died and millions have
been spent in order to give us the
right of free citizenship, and we would
give up our lives rather than lose it.
Yet there are many who do not ap-
preciate the privilege of citizenship
and are unmindful Of it's responsible
ties. Some may think If the govern.
ment were left entirely to them, public
evils could not exist. But they have a
portion of the responsibility now. Are
! they faithful to that trust? He that is
faithless with a portion cannot be
trusted with the whole.

ing to war and fighting for their coun-
try, and then forget to take part in the
selection of those who represent the
people in official capacity, might prize

more if they could see how those who
lose it beg for its restoration.

be contended against. The greatest
enemies to a representative govern
ment are those who promote lawless.
ness. In a republic the government
rests entirely upon the law, which the
people make for themselves. The
rule of law means the reign of the
people, for a majority OF the people

/ do not refer to men in public Office
alone. It is a mistake to suppose that
one must hold public office to serve
his country. 1t is just as essential to
good government for private citizens
to discharge the duties resting upon
them as it is for officials to carry out
faithfully their obligations in the pub
lie service. For the greatest obstacle
in the way of good government gov.
eminent that represents the best there
is, not the worst there isis the in
activity Of good citizens.
When these disregard their obliga-
tons to their country they leave con-
troll to undesirable elements. These
demand of those elected to represent
the people that they be served even IL
the public interest suffer. If an Off
cial refuses to prostitute his trust, he
is put under the ban of their disap-
proyal, and forever after that debarred
I from holding public Office that is, if
these elements have their way. But
they are swept aside when the people
are aroused. No matter how strong
the lawless may be, their strength does
not amount to much when it comes in
contact with an aroused public con-
science.
This was demonstrated in the cleo
lions of 1905. Wherever the issue was
made between the law and the lawless,
the law was triumphant. What was
done in Philadelphia, in Cincinnati and
in Pittsburg can be done everywhere.
The people of any locality can over
throw civic evils whenever they wish,
and can secure a government just as
good as they want to make it, or as
bad as they permit it to become.
There is hardly a community in all
the country where the law-abiding peo-
pie are not in the majority They are
generally quiet, though, while the law
less are usually so vociferous as to
deceive many as to their number. A
dozen lawbreakers can make more
noise than five hundred law-abiding
citizens.
Go wherever you will, whenever the
lawless have strength in politics or
grafters rule, it is because Of the de-
fault of the law-abiding.
To combat the things of evil, men OF
courage are wanted to stand in the
front ranks of truth and repe1 the as
saults of the enemy: men are wanted
to meet the sophistries Of error and
subtle attacks Of the enemies OF
the peoples welfare. Soldiers for duty
are the greatest need.

Soldiers Of Peace--By Hon. Joseph w. Folk
Gnd in eYouhxc ompanon


~oME years ago in one of the
YyN great cities there was held a
banquet, attended by number
of prominent business men. After the
repast was over the band played
America and the audience stood and
! sung the familiar words. AS the last
strains of the song died away, one Of
\ the men, with tears trucking down his
cheeks, said, "Oh, that could die for
my country
Just three weeks after that this
same man was cringing at the feet Of
Justice, confessing that he had bribed
an entire municipal assembly to pur-
h chase a railroad franchise ordinance.
This man seemed anxious to die for
his country, but his conduct showed
he had been unwilling to live for his
country. He aspired to be a patriot of
war, and he was in fact a tritor Of
peace. He was but a type of many
other men a few years ago, before the
great awakening of the American con-
science. #
Under the inspiration Of the spirit of
civic righteousness now abroad, we
are learning that the man who lives
for his country may bet as much of a
1 patriot as he who dies for 1t. 1t should
not be forgotten that there may be as
much patriotism in giving ones time
to the improvement of civic conditions
and in electing good men to Office as
in barring ones breast to the bullets of
the public enemy.
The country needs patriots of peace
as we'll as patriots of war. 1t may not
fall to the lot Of many to go to battle
under the flag, but every young Amer
lean can rest assured there is place
for him in civic life where he can be Of
service.
It is the everyday patriotism on
which the safety Of the republic rests,
not that which lies dormant until
thrilled by flying banners and martial
4 music. Yet history shows that the
great republics Of old --Rome, Garth
age, Athens, Florence, Venice were

the young man asks. He may reside
In a rural district, where the opportu-
. mites are few for doing anything; he
may live in the teeming city, one
among so many that he feels lost and
helpless when he tries to be Of serV-
Ii Ice.
There was country boy once who
had no advantages Of education, who
was Of what he termed common"
origin, in a new country with rough
surroundings. His environment could
4 hardly have been more discouraging.
He wanted to serve his country, yet
opportunity seemed lacking. He did
not waste time deploring his situation;
he did not exhaust his energies in
dreaming of the impossible nor in
waiting to hit the high places. He
did what he could among those with
whom he came in contact. Step by
step he rose, and to-day the name of

myself back to the door by which
had entered, watching those beautiful
eyes and crushing under my feet the
remnants of some broken china with
which the carpet was bestrewn. l had
no thought of her, hardly any Of my
self. To cross the room was all; to es-
cape as secretly as 1 came, before the
portiere so nearly drawn between me
and the main hall should stir under the
hand of some curious person entering
1t was my first sight of blood; my first
contact with crime, and that was what
1 did fed"
The last word was uttered with a
gasp. Evidently he was greatly az
fected by this horrible experience.
II am ashamed Of myself" he NUT
tered, but nothing can now undo the
fact. l slid from the presence of this
murdered woman as though she had
been the victim of my own rage or
cupidity and, being fortunate enough
to reach the dressing room before the
alarm had spread beyond the i'm
mediate vicinity Of the alcove, found
and put on the handkerchief, which
made it possible for me to rush down
and find Miss Van Arsdale, who some
body told me had tainted. Not till
stood over her in that remote corner
beyond the supper room did l again
think of the gloves. What | did when
l happened to think of them you al
ready know. | could have shown no
greater cOwardice if l had known that
the murdered woman's diamond was
hidden inside them. Yet l did not
know this or even suspect it, Nor do
l understand now her reason for plac-
ing it there Why should Mrs. Fair
brother risk such an invaluable gem to
the custody of one she knew so little?
An unconscious custody too? Was
she afraid of being murdered if she re-
tanned this jewell"
The inspector thought moment, and
then said:
"You mention your dread of some
one entering by the one door before
you could escape by the other. Do you
the divan opposite?"
"No, my friend had left that seat.
The portiere was sufficiently drawn for
me to detect that. If | had waited a
minute longer" he bitterly added, Il
should have found my way open to the
regular entrance and SO escaped all
this"
"Mr. Durand, you are not obliged to
answer any of my questions, but if
you wish you may tell me whether, at
this moment of apprehension, you
thought of the danger you ran of being
seen from outside by some one Of the
many coachmen passing by on the

window don't know why-but, if any
one passing by did see me, hope they

The inspector made no reply. He
seemed to be thinking heard after
ward that the curtains, looped back in
the early evening, had been found
banging at full length over this win
dow by those who first rushed in upon
the scene of death. Had he hoped to
entrap Mr.. Durand into some damag-
ing admission or was he merely test
ing his truth? His expression afford
ed no clew to his thoughts, and Mr..
Durand, noting this. remarked with
