TIE SIMPLE LIFE FOR MARS.

Without doubt the next Nobel peace prize
ought TO go 10 that wise champion OF peace
who has been helping hostilities along in Near
aqua by shipping arms and ammunition 10 the
militant hosts Of that empire. Excessive mod
esty and love Of peace keep this great irenIst
IN nameless obscurlty at present. some Near
aguans do not like him, 1t is said. But we hope
he will soon become known personally TO fame
as the man who solved the war problem. Our
hero secured the contract for supplying the fire.
breathing hordes of Nicaraguan warriors with
deadly weapons He sent $4,000 worth OF
arms and ammunition whose limited efficiency
would please the most lrenc peace propagan-
dist Firmly convinced that 1t was his duty to
work in his own humble way for the worlds
peace, he sought 10 mitigate the horrors of war
by sending the begerent Central Americans
boxes OF scrap iron, broken bottles, brickbats,
pieces Of coal, ashes and junk instead Of rifles
and bullets
Reports say that the Agamemnons OF Near
aqua misunderstood the irenist's motive and
froth at the mouth over the $4,000 swindle he
has perpetrated But what could you expect
OF the hotheaded Central Americans, who have
no appreciation Of the worldwide peace move
ment and its methods? In the fury OF battle
the Ncaraguans are blind to the higher wisdom
of the junk shipper; they feel that when shat
tered pop bottles are substituted for Mausers
and broken stove legs for smOkeless powder
grim War Is put in a straitJaCket. But those
who stand beyond the smoke OF conflict will
agree that our peace hero has merely taught
War to go back to Nature. The Simple Life
IS. he believes, just the thing for Mr.. Mars, who
has been running his nerves and his bank ac-
count by trying to follow the fashions
To be sure this doctrine of the Simple Life
for Mars Is not altogether new. But its de
tails have never been worked out satisfactorily
until now; scientists, statesmen, philanthropsts
and professional peacemakers have puttered at
it-and there's the rub. The whole matter
should be ntrusted to the armament agent,
who, If he has free rein, will see to 1t that
$4,000 Will buy the simplest weapons COM
patible with national honor. For his own in
terests are identical with those Of the peace
apostles. The profits a cargo of junk at
$4,000 are slightly greater than those the
military fris now In vogue. Brickbats being
less deadly than cruel long range rifles the
combatants will need more Of them: and as
an economical junk dealer could recover most
Of the missiles after battle and sell them over
again at war prices, he can be trusted to hasten
the return to the inOffensve Donnybrook Fair
yearned for by the irenists

THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE IN GEoRGJA

THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE IN GFORGIA
The Inauguration of the Hon. Hoke Smith as
Governor Of Georgia will mark the beginning
or new era in the politics Of that state. if the
ambitious legislative programme sketched In
yesterdays inaugural message is carried out
MI Smith expects 10 purify elections and leg
isiatlon, abolish lobbying, regulate the public
service corporations, stop the issue Of railroad
passes, improve public education and limit the
franchise The preparation and submission of
constitutional amendment limiting the right
OF suffrage are logical sequel Of the new Gov
ernors campaign last year against Mr. Clarl,
Howell. He made the adoption of a "grand-
father clause" and other franchise ouaIifca-
uons his chief issue on the stump. and the vote
In the Democratic primary showed that Geor-
ela' arter holding of for many years, is now
ready TO follow her Southern nelghbors In aban-
doning universal manhood suffrage
1t must be said in favor of the amendment
which Governor Smith proposes that it is freer
from objection than those adopted in several
other Southern states. and much more mod
crate than that submitted and defeated two
years ago in Maryland. Its authors are conf
dent that IL does not conflict with the nrovi
sions OF the Fifteenth Amendment To the Fad-
eral Constitution, the Maryland schema did

THE GENEALOGY OF RADIUM.

When that wonderful element radium acted
In manner which seemed to indicate dlsinte-
grafton two Inquiries were suggested. One re-
lated to the products of the phenomenon The
other dealt with the origin OF radium. From
the rate at which the mysterious substance was
going TO pieces it was suspected that any which
had existed more than 5000 or 5000 years ago
must have completely disappeared ere this, and
that the present supply, small as 1t is, must
have been manufactured in the earth within
that period OF time If such were really the
case, perhaps its ancestry could be discovered
Radum is invariably found in intimate asso-
citation with uranium. The same ORE pitch
blende, yields them both. On the supposItion
that this fact might furnish useful clew. tests
were made 10 see whether uranium was con-
verted into radium. Almost exactly two years
ago Mr.. Frederick SOddy, now of the Univer-
sity of Glasgow, reported a somewhat encour-
aging result. From a preparation of uranium,
carefully freed at the outset from radium (as
the experimenter believed), he obtained a mi
croscopic quantity Of the latter after keeping
1t In storage $50 days. The amount was yezy.

OFF FOR CHINA.
(Daily Telegram.

Mong Wah, perhaps the best
known Chinaman in Deadwood, who
for thirty years has done the washee-
washee act for the Melican man In
Deadwood, left this morning for
Hong Kong, China.
With his cue nicely plated and
ornamented with pink ribbons, the
sign of his return to his native land, !
Mong Wah took the Burlington train;
this morning. 1t is a great event
in Mong WaE's life for 1t marked
the end of thirty years waiting and
working and dreaming Of the day to
come, when, having amassed enough
round American dollars, he would re-
turn in triumph to the home of his
ancestors. = 4 a;s
Mong, in his thirty years, accu-
muiated nice little roll Of green
backs and intends to settle down for
the remainder of his life and smoke
his pipe in peace under his own
vine and fig tree. Mong Is not a
reyolutionist, and as becomes man
of substance and property, has no
use for Boxers and is loyal sup
porter Of the Ming dynasty. In re-
sponse to the questions as to w1leth-
er he intended to Join the Boxers
upon his return to his native land,
Mong blurted out Indignantly: Me
no Boxer, Boxer heap bad man all
sammee horse thief. Ne get married
lin China all lightee.'' ..3 .
The belief is current among the
Deadwood Chinamen, that Mong. in
spite of his fifty-two years, has an
aged sweetheart waiting for him In
the Flowery Kingdom.

Thursday a number of young peo-
pie went to Cleghorn springs for a
picnic, and it wa sa successful one
until it came to coming home. when
Ed. Smith, of the Milwaukee force,
was thrown from the buggy in which
he was riding and quite badly hurt.
He was dragged hundred feet or
more and it was feared that his hip
was broken. Miss Morey, who was
riding with him was thrown also,
but fortunately sustained no serious
injuries. Little Margaret Herman,
who was with them, showed consid-
cradle bravery and cool headedness
IN jumping from the buggy as soon
as It was possible and running back
to tell her father of the accident.
When the remainder of the party
reached the scene, Mr. Smith was
lying unable to move, but still had
llol dof the reins, having quieted the
horse. He was resting rather easily
last evening.

The. shonts Gospel for Girls.

Theodore P. Shonts, railroad man
canal builder limited, and head of O
family, has been giving excellent ad-
vice to girls. He has daughters OF
his own, and he speaks with feeling
and conviction. His gospel may
seem rather dry and prosaic, but
that is because of few unguarded
and sweeping expressions. In reality
it is not devoid of poetry and ideal
ism quite the contrary.
Shonts warns girls against mar
rying men solely on account of their
position, personal appearance, clothes
or other externals. He tells them
that impulsive and purely sentimen-
tai unions are rarely happy. He
would have them Judge men from
moral and intellectual points of view,
and assure themselves of their sin
cerity, manliness, strength, essential
mobility of those who aspire to their
hands. The man who is handsome
and fascinating to boot will always
have natural advantage over the
worthy and nice man whose physical
qualities and other "externals" are
below par, and far be it from Mr..
Shonts to depreciate distinction of
manner or beauty Of person.
But the admirable Shonts gospel
lis rather one-sided. 1t ignores the
young men. Women from the be-
ginning of history have admired
power, courage, ability and SINGER
in men, and have instinctively sub
ordinated "externals'' to moral and
mental qualities. If they hadn't
what would have been the fate of
millions of useful but not ornamen-
tai specimens Of the rougher sex?
But men, and men of all ages, alas!
have never shown much discretion
in their affairs of the heart. Beauty
has drawn them by single hair. A
pretty face, dimple, a fine figure
of prudence and sense are thrown
an arch way and all consideration
to the winds. Mr.. shonts would
have said something to young men
in behalf Of the sweet, modest, brave
unselfish girls whose fortunes are
not in their face and figures. Sin
cerity, goodness and amiability
SHOULD not always be the brilliant
and good looking girls. Surely Mr.
shonts does not imagine that men
need no advice as how to discover
charm and gifts in the girls Of theil
acquaintance. s5
