No business man has vestige of

can business men afford to anita
gonize an unbiased home printed pa
per got out along the lines now used
by the, Echo? We do not, theraten
to become antagonistic in return, but
we do call the attention of the busi-

and ask. them to be considerable. In
fact, follow the Golden Rule. Your

N"One interesting thing about news

bringing possibilities have never yet
been sounded. No enterprise has ev-

The telegram received by the
Democrat yesterday afternoon an
nouncing that the jury in the Thaw
case had returned a verdict, was
denied later. but before the denial
was received. the despatch was in
type and the paper printed and on
the streets. We do not often take
such chances, and had We time after
receiving the telegram to have it
confirmed before going to press, we
would have done so, but it was re-
ceived just in time to get in the paper.
We have always been very particular
to publish nothing but accurate and
reliable news, but in this instance We
were possibly too eager, to get the
latest news. This report was sent all

crat received its wire, the report was
being circulated, and we felt little
doubt shout It; being true.

@aMEx~ ALONE NOT MUCH GOOD.
Savannah Morning News.)

savannah morning NeWS-D
Mr. w. 7. Stead, the London 4edi-
tor gave an emphatic revised version
of the proverb that faith without
works is dead before the Methodist
Church Conference in New York the
other day. Mr. Stead is in this coun-
try as a peace missionary. He wants
the coming conference at The Hague
to amount to something more than a
Pow-wow and junket, wherefore he
has evolved a new departure in inter-
national politics that he hopes will
bring results. Mr.. Stead is more ia
nous for his new departure, by the
way, than he is for his arrivals.
His new scheme is to have the
church interest itself in the promo
ton of international peace and to use
its influence upon the meeting at The
Hague to provide that there shall be
days of grace established between
quarreling nations during which Sob
er second thought may be taken be-
fore actual hOStilitieS are declared.
Mr.. Stead thinks that if two disput-
ing nations were held apart for a
time while they and their friends
talked over the subject at issue, the
probabilities of war would be great
ly lesSened. He was explaining the
details of the plan to the Methodist
preachers. in conference in the Forty
eighth Street Methodist Church when
a number of sonorous "Amens" came
from different parts of the auditori-
UNI. Mr.. Stead, was nettled. "No-
body cares d for your 'Amens'
unless you do something" he de-
elared. - The preachers were a little
startled at the warmth of the Ian
guage but again they said "Amenl"
indicating their agreement with the
principle of the thing.
After the speech somebody moved
a vote of thanks to Mr.. Stead 81
don't want any vote of thanks" he
said with emphasis. 81 want to know
what you are going to do to help
along in this work" A committee
was appointed to draught suitable
resolutions and the conference indi-
CO ted that it would do all in it's pow
er for the promotion of Mr.. Stead's
suggestion.
As a matter of fact Mr.. Stead's
swear word was not wasted. 1t is
too often the case that we say
Amen" to virtuous proposition,
and then go OFF and forget all about
it, or at least neglect to do anything
to back up the Amen. Mr.. Stead's
vigorous language will doubtless have
the effect of impressing upon the
preachers who heard him the fact |
that they can do much towards 1
public opinion with respect
to the conference at The Hague, and
It is public opinion that will govern
IN that conference. The meeting
will not bring about disarmament,
nor will it result in the reduction of |
armies and navies. But it can and /
may devise ways and means for the
settlement of disputes between ma
ions by arbitration and without
DloOdshed in the majority of instan-
les. ... ..

TIE MEANING Of acALlnnR. Y

All who have to do with firearms
know that the word "caliber" refers TO
the diameter of the bore of a shooting
piece. Thus pistol Of .22-caliber
means one in which the bullet is
twenty-five ne-hundredths Of an inch
in dia meter, while .45-caliber means
one with a diameter OF forty-fye one
hundredths. There is however, a more
extended use of the word which is
understood by comparatively few
people outside of army and navy cir
cles and gunmakers. "A 50-caliber g.
inch gun" says naval man. means
one that is fifty times six inches, or
twenty-five feet long, the length being
given in terms Of the diameter of the
bore. In the same way a 10:45 pistol
means one the barrel Of which is ten
times the diameter or four and Il half
inches long This nomenclature is
found convenient because the shooting
qualities OF piece depend in some
measure on the ratio of its length to
it's diameter
