WHAT is OWNERSHIP.

Stewardship is not ownership. was
the burden of the talk OF Bishop
Ingram in Trinity church, New York.
That church is at the head of Wall
street and most of the bishops au.
dltors were from Wall street. In
law. the bishop was a little mixed
There is in law a vast difference
between stewardship and own
ership. but In morals he
was right. Private property is the
result OF the social compact. II Is
artificial. 1t is not a matter OF reli
gion or morality. but OF compact
Yet all solemn and general compacts
must be respected. Good faith re
quires this. But bad faith on the
part OF the holder, or owner. of pri
vate property Is. and always has
been, a ground OF forfeiture. Bat
faith Is treason to the public. Wha
the good bishop meant was tha
ownership being matter OF compact
amounted Virtually TO stewardship

erty for the benefit OF the commu

used In self defense only, Its u.s.
is lawful and just. But when use'
to destroy his neighbor as a mean
of self.aggrandizement or mere re
venge. such use Is criminal; and 4
that case forfeiture is the only rem

One fact looms important when
looking back at the great convention
at Memphis OF the Lakes-to-the Gulf
Deep Waterway association. at which
President Roosevelt among others
helped to stir determination that the
waterways OF the country should be
put to proper use. The Illinois Cen.
trail railway was found to be n friend
and not an enemy of waterway I'M
provement although It's line will be
paralleled by the deep channel from
Chicago TO New Orleans. President
Harahan expressed himself In no un
certain way and gave his reasons
The railroads have been utterly un
able to handle the tremendous traf
| fic which has been offered them dur
ing the past few years" he said
In my judgment they will be unable
to handle all the traffic for many
years to come, so that no matter
how many waterways there may be
the railroads VIII not be hurt by
reason OF tonnage taken from them
On the other hand. n deep waterway
would furnish an outlet for n great
mass of low.grade tonnage and slow
freight and thereby give the rail
roads a chance to better take care
OF the high-grade freight. also
think It Is easy OF demonstration
that the proposed highway would
give great impetus TO the develop
ment OF the South. especially In O
manufacturing way. The railroads
could afford 20 let the waterways
haul the raw material. because In re
turn they would get me vastly in
creased tonnage of the finished prod
uct which has to go everywhere
away from the line of the water
way"

A RoosEvELTlAN WAR.

That entertaining republican news
paper. the Wv rJ-k Sun, declares
that sending the fleet Of battleships
to the Pacific is not for practice
purposes. but for war with Japan.
As the Sun has unusually good op.
portunlties for probing the inside
mysteries OF the administration, 1t
is alarming to learn its opinion that:
The navy is going to the Pacific
ocean for war with Japan. and Japan
rcCc g.iiies the fact and is energet.
ically preparing for It. once the OPP
Grafton OF transferring our ships to
Pacific waters has been accomplish
ed war is inevitable.
II is an insane project.
The American people do not want
to go to war with Japan nor with
any other country; but the Ameri.
can people are apparently without
recourse or voice. There is little or
no hope that congress will dare TO
oppose the presidents plans.
1t is one OF the many serious sltu-
ations that have confronted this
country, and the only mitigating con
slderatlon that we are able to dis
cern In that activity of the navy
department-an OF the war depart
ment. too-is at the present moment
indicative OF full sense OF the
gravity Of the impending crisis"
Possibly the sun may be right in
its diagnosis " the Rooseyeltian In
tention. for any Don Quixote project
Is probable by the present admins
tration, but It can hardly be posi-
bic that majority of congress could
be brought to do so wicked and
foolish thing as TO declare waI
against Japan. The only real reason
for such action would be for tn,
purpose of perpetuating the repub
lican party In power and the break
ing OF all precedents by the re-elec
ton for a third term of Theodor,
Roosevelt. These two calamitie'
would be co-existent. AS the majority
OF the American people are not ye
daft, we will still hope that the SUI
is mistaken.

Blouses are Of universal interest
and women are constantly needing to
add to their supply Of these most con-

tration above we display variety OF
patterns. from which helpful sugges-
tons may be obtained for the making
of these garments.
The special features Of fashion
which vary from those Of the fall and
winter season Of 1895 are the skirts
and the sleeves, both having become
considerably smaller. The ordinary
tailor.made mans sleeve ID prominent
~ adopted ON the long coat. while the
skirts invariably at closely round the
hips, and boast their little fulness In
the center Of the back.
The short skirt and the long skirt
are alike In evidence, and since each
may most successfully play different
part, there is no reason that the
charms of both should not be recog-
mixed impartially.
Although there is much talk Of max
ing velvet dresses with the short
skirts and long coats. would hold
that, a. general rule. the long skirt
looks far better in velvet. Velveteen.
however. may have success as .

already spoken. have met some with
blurred spots upon their surface. and
others with q pattern Of some conven-

style. the only alternative being the
