SERMoNETTE.
The Man of the Hour.-It has
been said that grave crises Gre
ate great leaders. Strictly speak
ing, this is not true.
They do not create.
They reveal.
That Is, the leader has been
in the process of making dur
ing all the years which have
gone before and the great is
sues when they arise find him
prepared and ready to meet
them.
The need Of the hour has been
the door Of opportunity by
which the man of the hour
could step forth and show
what manner Of man he was.
Il is the shallow reader Of
history, indeed, who estimates
the great characters with the
measuring rod of chance and ia
VorabIe opportunity.
That the boy is father Of the
man was never more true than
with those who have stamped
their personality and character
on the pages Of history.
The discipline, the influences,
the struggles, the victories Of
the earlier years was the rug
sed, stern pathway which led
to the place CT great opportu-
mites.
Way back through the years
there has been the gathering
Of strength, of skill, of moral
courage, Of mental vigor for the
doing Of the great task, the he
roic deed.
Othniel, the one man in Is
raeI whom God could trust with
the great task of delivering from
the oppression of the Mesopo-
tamian king, had been prepar-
ing for that hour all through
the long years which had gone
before.
We read that "the Spirit Of
the Lord came upon him" and
then he Judged Israel and
went out to war;"
But let US remember that II
was the prepared man upon
whom the power of God came
for the doing of the mighty
deed.
There is good deal Of silly
dreaming on the part of people
Of what they might and would
do If they had the Spirit of
God to aid them.
Shame be to such, who have
never learned the sacredness Of
the daily task, and stood the
testing of the daily discipline.
God uses tried men. Gods
spirit comes upon prepared
men.
Oh, that boys and girls, young
men and young women, would
awaken to the truth that the
present living is shaping the
future destiny; that the man
of the hour OF tomorrow is in
the making to-day.

it is acted upon the poppy will become a more and more valuable crop, and the interest of every grower will be to bribe the local official not to see his crop. Such a decree, in fact, can have but one effect-namely, 1t will give the local mandarin an opportunity of squeezing the poor farmer. The prac- tical difficulties of the situation have prevented the decree's being published in many districts of China. In the same way it was desirable to regulate and diminish the opium dens. but to close them altogether is merely to en- courage secret resorts for the enjoy ment of the vice. The good these de- crees seem likely to do is only this, that they give moral support to the efforts of the missionaries to arouse people to a sense of the danger.
 This looks reasonable. If prohibition of rum in this highly civilized and truly Christian country doesn't pro- hibit, it is more than possible that prohibition of opium in semi-civilized, heather China will also not prohibit.

AN ACCEDER.

If all the Trusts have been as con- siderately conducted as the American Tobacco company has they are very considerate affairs. This company has been charged with using companies controlled by it to break down op- position and secure for itself the ben- eft of public sentiment against trust made products. It denies that 1t has been mean and sly in this way It points out that the minority stoclS- holders and managers of one suhsd- iary company have preferred that u c ownership of a part of their business hy the American Tobacco company should be known, with the belief that 1t would strengthen their busi. ness in public esteem" In cases of this kind 1t has been the holding com pany's policy to accede to their wishes. Tn other instances it has been believed by those who were to I'll /, the business that it would be more successfully run by keeping from the public the fact thai shs .Amolrcar To- bacco company owned q part of the stock, and it has been the policy of the American Tobacco company to accede in those instances also to the wishes of those who were to conduct the business.

be justified by a review of the past two years of inquiry, warrants the sus- picion, if not the belief, that the list of promoters and thimble-riggers is not yet complete. If this is the state of the public mind then the sudden suspension of house-cIeaning could on- ly produce one result and that really disastrous result There would have been no corporate duphcity to investi gate had the prosecuting officers en- forced the laws. The existing situation was not made in a day; it took more than a generation to produce it. It will take more than a generation to even scratch 1t with the pin of reform unless the new standards which have been set up and approved by the common conscience insist upon full recognition.
 The country Is in fact learning just what it ought to know and what it can learn at less cost now than hereafter. The job of making money on the old prin- ciple is being learned in the school of l repentance and confession. Legitimate riches are not being brought into con- tempt. The discoverer of some new de- vice for the increased convenience of the human race still has a fortune and applause awaiting him. The com mon people are not fools even though they lack the acquisitive faculty, They do want, however, all the linen on the line washed and they are right in
 demanding 1t after the latest exposure. Nor need they fear the consequences
 They will be good for all concerned
 This is a big country and it Is filled
 with honest folk, if careless folk. Now that they are assured that there is more linen on the line to be cleaned
 and ironed they are in a mood to bear
 the afFliction with a resolute confidence
 in the fundamental integrity of thing;
 and in the future greatness of theil
 country. The only thing to be feared
 is that counterfeit washers may un
 dertake the task for them. That Is tho Isoln Aapcar tn be draadcd

SLOW, BUT COMING.

Perhaps few men who go to war are brave because of the medals or badges which sometimes follow bravery in war, but when man has been to war and been brave enough and fortunate enough to get home alive he takes some interest in medals or badges which serve to distinguish him from other men not so brave or fortunate
 So there is impatience over the delay in the issue of the forty thousand medals and badges which are to be distributed on account of various
 classes of service in the Civil war, in the Indian campaigns, in the Philip pines, in China and In the Spanish American war. Of course there are not 40, ,000 persons to receive these badges, but some who are entitled to the dec- oration will receive as many as four. Everything has been arranged for ln6 OldHuldCIuIS Ol lllG uduSGS, which is being done at the United States Mint in Philadelphia. Some delay was caused in obtaining a ribbon which would answer the purpose am be sufficiently distinctive. This has now been procured and it remains to receive the badges from Philadelphia. Before the medals are sent forth it will be necessary to classify the names ac- cording to campaigns as we'll as al- phabetically. Many entitled to receive the badges are not in the service now and there will be more or less difficult ty, perhaps, in tracing them or their descendants. The badges are limited to those who were in the service on the

4 TIMELY FARMING.

This Is a generous country, but 1t can't stand everything. So the assist ant government forester, William l.. Hiu, predicts that the hard wood of the country will be exhausted in 1925. Figures submitted to give emphasis to the serious nature of the condition that confronts us show that we are us- ing up about 12,OOO, ooO,0 900 feet a year. and thatathere are perhaps about AGO, ,o00. .000,006 feet standing, of hard wood It is stated that excepting in one region, the land stripped of hard wood will never grow a second crop, and the necessity of casting about for a new source of hard timber is ap- parent. This is. said to be found in abundance in the Appalaehians, where lit is thought that proper system of forestry would eventually produce s. 1000, 900 900 cubic feet a year.
 About time to sit up and take no- tice, isn't it? We shall continue to need hard wood, or something just as good, and 1t doesn't now seem that even re-enforced concrete is just as good,

(New York Tribune.)
 There Is one peculiar and unique cause for rejoicing at the happy turn which American and Chinese relations have thus taken. That is, that thls restoration of complete friendship and confidence occurs simultaneously with the opening of the new era in Chinese affairs. IL was well for us to be on good terms with China under the old order of things, It Is far more import ant for America to be regarded as the true friend of China and to enjoy intl- mate relations with her at the very time when that country is adopting an enlightened constitutional system and is experiencing that awakening which has so long been subject of more or less visionary speculation. The future of China is tmmeasurably great, and with the best features of that future, in diplomacy and in commerce, Amerl- ca ought to be and. if the present holds good, will be closely and bene- flcently associated.

4 PROMISING BEGINNING

When anything good is going on Massachusetts is never far from the head of the procession. This is a time when 1t seems important that crim- inals should be taught respect for law. The other day Massachusetts court sent man to jail for thirty days for stealing an umbrella. That ought to have been warning, but it wasn't. Since that was done Charles Smith of Westboro found two of the cows of his son-in-law in the pound. He calmly and yet criminally let down the bars and drove the cows home. This proceeding caused the arrest of Smith on the charge of rescue and pound breach, the first of which the Westboro authorities have any know ledge as being brought in Massachu- setts in eighty years.
 Massachusetts Is beginning right. | When she gets all the umbrella thieves, pound-breakers, etc, cleaned up she will doubtless tackle the crim- lnals of high degree. If quarter oi what Lawson says is true she has 6 good opportunity, and some who have taken Lawsons advice think thai when she has spare moment she might do we'll in tackling him.

DIFFERENT AND REASoYABLE

Wonderful accounts of how the opium habit was being abolished in China by anti-opium edicts have been going the rounds, and it. has seemed to some that they were a little too
 wonderful. Another side of the story is told by the Rev. Lord William Cas- coyne Cecil, one of the sons of the late Marquis of Salisbury. who has been travelling extensively in the inter-
 for of China in connection with mis- sion work. According to these edicts all smokers must be licensed, and those under sixty are summarily re- quired to free themselves within a giv- en time from a habit which, however immoral, is proverbially one of the most impossible vices to break off so difficult, indeed, that death sometimes ensues as result of such an effort
 How any legislator could hope that such a law would not remain a dead letter Lord Cecil Is unable to see. He points out that such a decree might alter the form in which opium is taken, it might encourage the sub stitution of opium pills for opium smoking, but it can do nothing else The other branch of the reform Is equally impossible. The land under
 poppy is to be diminished every year
 till the poppy is extinct. The moment

sELECrToN OF JrDGES.

Those citizens of the State of Con- necticut, of whom there are not a few, who advocate the popular election of judges should direct their attention to what is going on in the city of New York, where soon the popular vote is to determine what men shall wear the ermine. If the lesson being taught there has any meaning at all it is that the good old Connecticut way of leav- ing it to the governor to appoint is as sound as a gold dollar,
 As we have said, 1t is the practice of New York to elect its judges, who when placed in nomination are promptly assessed for the party fund That at once opens up an association which necessarily strikes at the inde- pendence of the judiciary, which is one evil of the practice. This year Tammany Hall has nominated ticket of It's own without reference to other parties, which so far as the principle involved is in every sense self-respect- ing. The Republican organization, un- der the leadership we regret to say of misguided Yale man and in order to pull off its quota of judges, has made deal with the so-called Inde- pendence League, which is the person. al property of William Randolph Hearst. The negotiations have been on for some time and reached their fruition Thursday evening, when as might have been expected the Hearst outfit walked off with the majority of the offices to be conferred by the cleo torate. Self-respecting Republican campaigners and district lead CTS protested in vain. Their ma chine had made the bargain and Ii must be ratified; it was ratified an6 the Republicans of the county of New York have their choice between ma. chine made ticket put forth by Tam. many Hall and plural machine-mad, ticket put forth by their own organ. ization.
 It is only year ago that the Re, publican organization was wildly con demning the Democrats for havint made deal with the Hearstltes. Presi dent Roosevelt sent Secretary Root tc enter an official protest for the fedora administration, in the course of whicl that eloquent gentleman charged MT Hearst with being responsible for tn, ldeath of Mckinley To-day MT. Hears Ihas made the Republican party the tai of his kite. Wholly aside from the dis graceful alliance which has been mad and which is sure to have far-reach ing consequences, the people of tn State of Connecticut need only to hay, their attention drawn to the inevitable result as instanced here In it's wors lphase, of making judicial selection the football of practical politics. Tn
 point of legal ability is not involved
 Judges are as human as other peopl
 and if they know that they get thei
 elevation to the bench as the price o a practical political arrangement the
 can only wear the ermine apologetical fly. The public can only have con
 tempt for tickets made in that man
 ner.
 The Connecticut plan is far the bet
 ter one, even though at times a gover
 nor may exercise a personal prefer
 ence The only possible result of dis
 tributing judgeships after the Nev
 York fashion, with It's periodioa wrangling, is to lower in public respeC
 the judiciary Connecticut has yet t
 learn anything from its neighborin State in this particular.

If our people were permitted to buy ships where they could buy them cheapest, 1t Is practically certain that within very few years there would be ships enough owned by Americans not only to carry the coal for our naval fleets wherever they might go, but also for carrying all of our vast foreign commerce. If there Is doubt about this let the laws be changed, and give our people a chance to get ships on the same terms that the people of other nations get them. The fact that coal for our battle ships has to be carried by ships of another nationality ought to strongly influence congress to change our navigation laws
