Justice and The Dinner.

New York Globe,
 Among the guests at Mir. Roosevelts Tabor dinner last evening were Mr. Justice Holmes and MT. Justice Moody. gentlemen took part in the discussion, and 1t is said that MT. Moody was the first to retire. But the two stayed long enough to hear tho quizzing of his guests by the President-question and answers both implying that in some way the courts of the. country have been unjust" to labor-have an nounced doctrines in their decisions which are at war with those funda- and equity which the courts are estab- lished 10 protect.
 As a private gentleman MT Roose- welt Is privileged to invite to his table what guests he pleases. No one has right to sit in judgment and the con~ version may take such turn as mu- tual taste may dictate. But this was not a private dinner, and 1t is idle to pretend that it was such. Those who Sat down al 1t were invited not as men but as representatives. The sole topic considered S eminently "a public one Such being the case. 1t Is unnecessary to enlarge on the impropEiety or nav ing members of the Supreme Court hear discussion and offhand adjudi- cation of questions that they may De called on a. judges to pass upon what would be thought If members or the Supreme Court should attend dinner ample should be argued, with me most and the fellow guests saying that the government had no case?

4 MORNING THOUGHT
BY J. MARVIN NICHOLS.

A great many fires are caused by friction between a building and an in- surance policy.
 Some men turn themselves into whole sections of the Judgment day in order to punish.
 The advice of the Vicar of wake6eld will do: Let us be inflexlble, and for tune will at last change in our favor"
 It Is noble to admit when disap- pointed In the friend that forsakes ? And yet. could there be more over. shadowing eclipse.
 life by it's intensity. The one who keeps his eye on the crawling hands of the clock never finds the secret.
 In some quarters a man may tote a set of golf clubs but he dare not be caught with a hoe.
 A heap of the worlds bad luck is no more than a conjured makeshift for indifference or inability.
 Study the phase: What others say of me matters but little. What I my self say and do matters much"
 The ghoul preys upon the dead. What shall we call the nameless van dal that preys upon the living?
 doubt every mans worship of the Divine until he first kneels at the shrine of some poor old human.
 Some mems continent of freedom is bounded on the one side by the land of MisgiYing.
 The happy man is he who can hold himself back from the maddening crowd. yet close enough to feel the thTob of every human heart.
 That man is very poor who has lots of money and little brain; that man is very rich who has little money and a capacious brain.
 It is easy to be true when no strain is brought to bear upon your conf dences. And, then. it Is so easy for some to be false-without the strain.
 Don't be a consummate slave. Quit doing like somebody else. Do Just like you feel you ought to do. Be free be king in your own kingdom.
 Every act completes its circuit. Each one that goes forth must return to us again. You are your own fate. Destiny Is self determined. We create our hells we make our heavens

STARTLING DECLARATIONS.
Made By The Chief Of staff Of The
 Army.


 Boston Special.
 Some of the frankest admissions ever made by a high army officer re garding the unpreparedness of the United States, were heard at the dtn- ner of the Hooker Association. when Major General J. Franklin Bell arose to speak.
 General Bell, who Is chief of staff. declared that while war might pe forced upon us at any moment, under present conditions 1t would cost tne United States countless millions ana hundreds of thousands of lives: oefore the army could be put on a ngntng basis to enable 1t to compete with other world powers. Here are some of his most startling assertions;
 ''Frightened by the bogy of military, ism and imperialism, the Unltso States is drifting along in an aim less, purposeless way" the government hardly knew what 10 do. i'm tempted to add that tnese same things would be true today

Something suspicious there certainly IS in the promptncss and resigned perspicacity with which Senator Dan iel, Of Virginia, named a number of things for which the South is SO Thankful that 1t an aeeeat defeat fin the election with equan.mity if not pleasure. In fact the Senator comes very nearly to making us believe that It was not a defeat after all. so many good things have we really got in store from what really did happen People are beginning to think that the tears of . whole bunch of leaders over the result came from a convenient onion-Chattanoog Times.
 It is certain that the Virginia Sem ator did not look favorably on the nomination of Mir. Bryan and it Is not at all unreasonable to suppose that he has no tears to shed over the cleo ton result. If he should even grin a little it need surprise no one.

he was freed. From the plantation to
the coal mine; then the struggle for an
education, and last the founding of the
Institute at Tuskegee, and the work
which he accomplished here for the
enlightlnent of his race entities him to
rank with our national benefactors.
How the Europeans scoffed at the idea
of President and Mrs. Mckinley and
the cabinet visited his Institute at
Tuskegee, and how they stormed when
President Roosevelt invited him to
luncheon because he was negro and
of such humble birth. But in our own
free America height of intellect and
breadth of humanity count for great
ness in any man whether his skin be
black or white.
There is literally no comparison be-
tween the civil rights of America and
Russia. The American government is a
pure representative democracy in which
the people are recognized as the foun-
tain of all power. The Characteristic
facts in the condition of America are
the non-existence Of titles and priv
ileged classes. The Russian govern
ment is an absolute monarchy. The
car is advised by a council of mobiles
which he himself selects. The people
and their rights as human beings are
not considered. The throne decends
from father to son, while in America
the office of chief executive is within
the reach of the poorest boy.
There is "Our Lincoln" of class
called the poor white trash who by his
noble qualities and persistent efforts
gained the greatest place of promin-
ence the world today offers, President
of the United States. So this is what
America means; these rights and priv
ileges, these advantages and opportun-
tiles, which are greater today than they
have ever been before. America has
the utmost faith in all her boys, but tbs
the poor boy who holds the position Of
greater advantage. He is better off
than the son of the rich man, because
he is prepared to do what the latter
will not, plunge in with his hands and
learn business from the bottom. 1t is
to them, the sons of our hardy Amer
leans, that we look to carry into the
future the wonderful progress of the
present. All that is needed is to awaken
them to their opportunities, and for this
we must depend on our educational and
religious institutions whose duty it is to
point out the streets, the byways and
lanes Of opportunity that are open to-
day to American youths.

Must Give More Time.

The passenger conductors on
the Southern Pacific have been
instructed to give the passen-
gers boarding trains at the larg-
er stations more warning when
they are ready to pull out. The
reason for this order is that in a
number of cases, one at the
Deming station, conductors have
given the engineer the high ball,
and pulled out of the station
without giving the ticket hold
ers any warning whatever. This
has resulted in much confusion
and inconvenience to the passen-
gers boarding the train and in
the future the conductors are to
call all aboard" loud enough to
be heard on all parts Of the
platform and in plenty Of time
before the train is ready to
start. FL Paso Herald.
