London. Oct. 4.--The possibility OF
war between the United States ana
Japan is not regarded seriously by
either press or diplomats here. Inc
States by the projected cruise of
battleship fleet in the Pacific is gem
orally interpreted as party politics.
The English and all the European
papers print the speeches of President
Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft
and reproduce comments of the Amer
lean papers which are attacking the
battleship project. Few English pa
pers comment on the matter in any
form, and these few say nothing note
worthy. The stock exchange, where
premonitions Of war in any quarter of
the globe are felt first, has not shown
any reflection OF the war talk in
some of the American papers. Japanese
securities are strong and Americans
are no worse than during recent
months.
Several extracts from certain Amer
lean papers limiting that President
Roosevelt desires to bring on a war
with Japan to make his reelection
logical have been printed here. but
We're received as partisan political
charges. Diplomats generally believe
that Japan wishes to avoid war, and
consider the probability of war to be
small unless the newspapers fan the
two peoples into hostility.
France Declines to be Alarmed.
Paris, Oct. 4.--Secretary of War
Taft's visit to Japan and other points
in the far east, and President Roose-
velt's speeches, coupled with the sem
sational utterances of certain Ameri-
can papers which have been cabled
here. have served to attract renewed
attention to the relations between the
United States and Japan.
The French papers are devoting
much space to the subject, but not one
of them regards the situation as be-
ing acute, tho they all think that it
contains elements of danger. This
however, has not affected the tone on
the bourse, altho prices remain near
ly in sympathy with the New York and
other markets of the world.
The Temps this evening expressed
the opinion that there is fire smolder-
ing under the ashes, which the two
governments must extinguish" Never
theless the semi-official organ holds

practically the faults of portion OF

sible for the moral tension between the

FReeMASONRY.
News-Leader. }

Beyond question. Freemasonry ha.
been a most honorable and useful insti
tuition in human history. King Solo.
mon is claimed as a Mason. But,
whether he was of the order not, he
speaks like worshipful grand master
IN one of his wisest utterances:
Through wisdom is a house builded
and by understanding it is established.
and by knowledge shall the chambers
thereof be filled with all precious and
pleasant riches"
Freemasonry is the founding, build
ing, establishing, furnishing and glori-
Tying OF man; contemplating the per
tectlon of manhood: after the divine
image. All its ideals, conceptions. flo
ures, methods and instrumentalities are
Illustrations and teachings, ways and
means of attaining wisdom and virtue
and grace. Its Qualifications are like
the visions of the old see-ers. Its
Jewei Is the Beauteous Eye of Heaven:
the Light of God. 1t is Masonry. be-
cause its business is Building: 1t is
Free, because of the Truth that gives
IL Llte. Its grand contamination is its
Royal Arch; the Arch of the universe
whose capstone is the Throne of God
And according to the fullness of Ma
sonry, the soul of man in its grandeur
and expansion, is the type of the King
uom OF Heaven; the Supreme Being
the Archetype.
Whether John, the Evangelist. was a
Mason, may be thing to be proved.
But many likelihoods point to that con-
ciusion. The stone to be given to the
triumphant saint, in which was written
mysterious name, is very suggestive
OF Freemasonry. The Revelations"
might well be taken as the Textbook
OF Freemasonary.
Freemasonry seems to have been
strange natural growth or inspiration.
sprnging from the depths of human
nature.
mat Masonry should be so identified
with and enwrapped in mystery is an
indication of its naturalness. All of us
i've and move and have our being in the
profoundest mystery. And the .Provi-
dence of God that controls US. over and
ABOVE and in spite of us and our DESIGNS
and efforts, is all miraculous; indicating
wisdom and power and tender mercy.
Every human being is deep mystery.
And the plainest teaching of common
sense is:
Stli keep something to yourself
I ou' d scarcely tell to any.
IL Is only fool. whose inward parts are
made known; wrong side out.

Bailey and Hearst.
Richmond News Leader)

Young Hearst's yellow newspapers
were eackling and shrieking triumphant
ly yesterday over the impending defeat
Oh Bailey, of Texas. for reelection to
the United States senate. It appears.
however, that the defeat didn't impend
and didn't arrive. Mr. Bailey has a clear
majority of each house of the Texas
legislature and an ample majority on a
JOINT ballot, as shown by the first official
ballot, taken yesterday.
We are not at all interested in Bailey.
OF Texas. He has impressed us from the
beginning of his public career as a spec
taeuiar and frothy statesman. intent on
advertising himself continually. His
conduct in the face of the serious
charges, affecting his personal and poll
tlcai integrity, which he has been called
upon to face, has not been that of n
courageous and honest man. He has
lodged Investigation instead of demand
ing and counting it. We have sent from
the South to the senate a good MANY
wlndbags, good deal of froth and /.
number of wooden heads: but so far .s
we Know, Mr.. Bailey is the only South
ern senator since reconstruction DAYS
VINO has grown rich in the senate or has
even been suspected of corruption mr.
betrayal of his State and constituents
Our representatives in that body have
not been creditable to us or to them
selves always; they have had their
weaknesses and faults, but they have
not been receivers of brides directly or
indirectly, and in their official condnct
they have been honest and sincere
therefore, we would not be at all sorry
TO see this Southern State of Texas wine
from her records the blot Mr.. Ra;lev
seems to have put on them.
IL is not impossible that if Hearst had
kept his meddlesome and mischievous
hands out of the affair, Bailey might
nave been beaten. There is a general
impression that the fight against Bailey.
10 great extent, was the expression
OF Hearst's personal vindictiveness and
political ambition for the qualification
OF which his newspapers are chiefly
used. From time to time articles have
appeared announcing that Hearst in
tended to attack all the leading and con-
sp'cuous Democrats in detail, and to kill
them off one by one by vicious assaults
upon them, with the insane hope that
everybody else being out of the way. he
might come in for the Democratic NOM
nation for the presidency and for the
opportunity 70 use the party further for
advertising himself and his publications.
Events and developments have given
Cnese remarkable stories some color of
truth We cannot blame Texas leg
lSia'or Tor voting for Bailey or anybody |
else IN resentment against the bombas-
TIC and mountbank methods of Hearst

" AAlduStpnld ITeSS-
During the Spanish War General AL
ger was storm center. but the out
burst of criticism was long since seen
to be aggravated and unfair, and with
his death the kindier feeling which was
restored will find full expression.
He had large and successful career.
Like so many Americans with small be-
ginnings he carved out his own for
tune. In business life he achieved
great wealth, and stood at the head of
his special industry in the country. He
was good soldier and won his stars in
the Civil War by meeting a soldiers
duty wherever tried with a soldiers
spirit and capacity. His personal dis
tinction in affairs, his ample success
and his natural tastes carried him into
politics, and in his own State, where he
always had strong hold, the people
elected him Governor.
While he was Secretary of War in
President McKinley's Cabinet the Span
lsh War suddenly came on, and found
the country unprepared and the army
unorganized. Peace had prevailed for
more than thirty years. No sign of
conflict had awakened the slumbering
forces. The struggle with feeble and
decrepit power like Spain did not try
the highest energies of the nation; but
though not great contest it presented
the necessity of instant and ample or
ganization. Fortunately the navy.
which requires time, had been built up,
but the army had to be mustered. 1t
was felt that the true way to save lives
and wage short and successful war
was to raise large and overwhelming
force. A quarter of a million men
were enlisted and the war was over in a
hundred days.
The organization, equipment and
camping of such body of men and the
transportation of large contingents to
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
all within three months, was a stupen-
dous work. In the nature of the case
1t was marked by some istakes and
mishaps, which were exaggerated. and
General Alger as the head of the War
Department became the victim of much
apprehension. The criticism was chiefly
directed to the character of the admin
istrative work and the allegations of
embalmed beef in the supplies. For a
time a violent tempest ragged around
General Ayers head. But the inves-
tigation showed that the charges as to
embalmed beef were exaggerated, and
with the lapse of time came the feeling
that the vehemence of criticism on the
administrative side of the question had
been excessive and unjust.
General Alger was conscientious and
sincere in seeking to discharge his du-
ties faithfully, and his election to the
Senate by his own State after his re-
tirement from the Cabinet was crate
fully accepted. He was genial and
amiable, with estimable personal quail
ties, and won the regard of all with
whom he was brought in contact.

Curtain STYLES.

Lace curtains will be used this fall
but the artistic printed linens and
lightweight materials are going to
be more popular. These fabrics cost
less than lace and harmonic more
with the furnishings. especially in the
small apartment. The new printed
linens have cream-colored back
grounds, with bright floral designs in
both large and small figures. Among
these artistic materials are the print
ed and plain linens, madras and light
weight grass cloths. This style of ma
terial looks particularly we'll with mis-

POLITICAL GAMES AT WASHINGTON

POLITICAL GAMES AT WASHINGTON.
1t has been interesting and at times
amusing to watch the political games
that were in progress at the last session
OF Congress and that were resumed at
the beginning of the present session.
These games to some extent have been
triangular, and have been unique in the
American political field. The Admins
tration has been playing against two
antagonists, the Democratic Represen-
tatives in Congress and certain Republ-
can Representatives and Senators, who.
for peculiar reasons, have been anxious
to break President Roosevelt's hold on
the Republican party. While a small
minority of Republican leaders, most of
them, perhaps, under the influence of
the corporations, have been antagoniz-
ing the Administration in its advocacy
of certain reform measures, the Demo-
Gratis have been giving the President
pretended honest support in his policies.
The object of the Republican adversar-
les has been to drive Mr.. Roosevelt
from the leadership of the party, and
the purpose of the Democrats has been
to assist in this effort by a seeming sup
port of the Administration. The Dem
ocrats think that if such rupture can
be made in the Republican party that
Democracy can again secure control of
the Government.
The Republican recalcitrants and the
Democratic schemers in everv move
ment they have made to discredit the
Administration or weaken the Republi-
can party have been foiled and defeat
ed Every reform movement inaugu-
rated by the President has been adopt-
ed, and by sufficient support from Re-
publican representatives to nullify all
claims made by the Democrats that the
reforms have come from their initiative
or their assistance. Discontinue has
also been the portion of the Republican
kickers. The President has won out on
all the great measures that he has plac-
ed before Congress; and he will contin-
ne to win. There is no trouble in find
ing the secret of his success. He is an
earnest and honest advocate of what is
right, and does not seek to attain his
ends by concealment or indirection. His
honesty of conviction and steadfastness
of purpose have won the support and
confidence of the people; and it is
through that support, manifested in
every conceivable way, that he has been
able to checkmate his insidious Demo
cratic friends and his selfish Republican
foes.
Roosevelt and the people have been
winning at every movement in the DO
htical games at Washington.
