The Farmsr,n rurnin..

A. Barton Hepburn. at the convention of the American Bankers Association in Atlantic City, said of Q certain argument:
 But that argument fails to cheer On the contrary, 1t fills us with gloom and foreboding. It is like the cry, in- tended to be reassuring that came to the farmer across the turnip field.
 "A farmer, on frosty autumn af- ternoon, went out in his turnip field and began to gather turnips. The ear ly sun sank in the west and ase the bluish dusk came on the farmer per ceived, at the other end of the field two men who, laying down @ bag, be- gan to dig with frantic haste
 "The farmer watched the pair In some perplexity. What could they ba doing And he was just putting his hand to his cheek to shout and ask them their business, when one of them rose up and yelled, loudly and reassuring- ly:

of the integrity of the life of the na- ton itself
 What folly to allow the national de- tense to drift along till It becomes nec- essary to turn the whole nation away from its useful pursuits and transform our citizens into soldiers, citizens with such a high standing of comfort and used to such wide latitude of of indi- viduaI liberty that military life would rove a sore hardship. discipline would be difficult and the expense per soldier would be comparatively enormous.
 what folly to drift to the point where Americans would have to com pete in endurance of hardship with the iow-standard- of comfort hordes of other continents
 What folly to compete with the great military powers with soldiers when we could compete with ships.
 What folly to have our whole peace- full nation engulfed in militarism, when with control of the cea we could remain at peace and in good will with all the world. working out our great des- tiny in security and tranquility.
 How much greater this folly Is when we realize that because Of our peacelhi activities our resources are ooundiess and the cost of maintaining perma- nent control of the seas, though great, would not be felt on the broad shoui- ders of the nation.
 The conclusion of this paper, as or the prevoius paper. Is that we must send our whole fleet to the Pacific ana send it quick and keep it there perma- nentiy. and that we must proceed with all dispatch to build two more fleets for the Atlantic and during the build ing we must refuse war no matter what the provocation-Richmond Pear son Hobson.

Not In to Dnte.

The Vostok, a Russian journal pub lished at Dalny. says the experiences of the late war have convinced the Japanese government that the gen. eral instruction of the corps of offi- cers did not come up to the require ments of a modern army. The Japa- nese War Department has. therefore, decided to make the conditions to be fulfilled more severe as regards gen. eral instruction. not only for comba- tent, but also for non -combatant of- ficers. With this object a special com mission has been formed at the War Department to elaborate new programs of instruction for military schools by giving greater elasticity to the regu- lations in force.

 ''The race" said MT.

It was luck, pure luck, that decided their bet.
 These three men sat rather late over their bridge at the club one night. As they were separating. they dis cussed a little nervously the reception that awaited them at their wives hands. and, more for mischief than any thing else. they agreed that he who didn't do what his wife told him on getting home should have to treat the others to a turkey dinner.
