Rluntly put the choice is between two evils
That which seems to be the greater. war OIL
unknown but probably appalling magnitude
would have for Its ultimate result the Ylndcd-
ton of faith and justice. That which seems
TO be the less would wrong two or three peoples
and would make a mockeTy of international
faith but It would keep the peace unbrokeh.
On the whole responsibility for making tie
choice between them Is not to be coveted
The whole situation suggests the price when
must be paid for peace; or, shall we say TOT
Justice? If only there were obedience to the
child preac her's exhortatioD. "AH men, ne
good" there would be no difficulty. We should
have universal peace and justice. But all men
are not good and viii not be good, and so tie
world is periodically confronted with the ques-
ton whether it shall inexorably punish them
for their wickedness and compel them TO sur
render its spoils even at the cost of war, OF
shall to some degree compound their SINS for
the sake of keeping peace. In the last analysis
If is question whether peace shall be sac
rificed to justice Justice shall be sacrl-
feed TO peace Either Is doubtless heavy
price to pay and each is doubtless a precious
end to gain. But there are those who hold
that to seek peace through the sacrifice or
Justice is vain, since justice itself is essential
TO true and enduring peace.

TAKING HIS MEASURE.

Re fearless now ia 'rThe New York Worlds"
advice to Mr.. Chanler, for lodging and duck
ling the vital issues of the state campaign Is
poor way to lay foundation on which TO erect
"a fearless administration Of public office" Ire
comment is most true, and the public may Judge
what sort of courage independence and force
Mr. Chaner would be likely to show in office
from his present weak and timid attitude on TIE
stump.
But the advice will hardly help. AS well
urge a man TO be handsome, wise or witty as
TO advise him to he fearless. He is what he :
and Il crisis like that through which the Demo
cratic candidate is passing is sure to reveal
him. sincerity says Lowell, lis Impossible
unless 1t pervaGes the whole being, and the
'pretence Of Il saps the very foundatlon OF
character" SO of courage; 1t does not come
by conscious effort; and the pretence OF 1t merely
makes a man a blusterer, the kind Of man who
draws himself up to his full height" and says:
I'D like to see any one boss me 1t wouldn't
be good for his health 1 can tell you" and
NOBODY can hurry or worry me into answering
these questions man of real political cour-
age would not get into the sorry situation in
which the Lieutenant Governor finds himself.
He could not go far against his nature as
to suppress his convictions. He would rot SHIFT
from a Hearst radical to Ryan conservative
for the sake of Office He would not dodge the
issues Of the day. And thus be would not De
squirming before the state under his adversary
fair and reasonable questioning. Mr.. Chanler
is either going to aid the gamblers who are
spending vast sums to elect him, or he is not.
He is either going to restore the palmy days
of the traction hooters in whose interests his
platform was drawn and who are active in his
,pport or he is not. The state is entitled to
know where he stands on these and other is
sues General professions Of good intentions
will not do.
It is a good deal more to the point to warn
Mr.. Chanler to be fearful now. The state IS
taking his measure.

An advance chapter from the United States
Geological Surveys report Oh mineral re
sources for 1907, just published, is devoted eX-
clusiyely to precious stones. It contains details
concerning the hunt for and the discovery Of
diamonds, which will be regarded with lively
interest. Arkansas, where these stones were
found two or three years ago, is at present the
most promising field known to exist In this
country, though there is no telling how long
It may enjoy that distinction At least one
hundred ard forty diamonds Of Undoubted
character had been found in Arkansas when
the report was written and it is safe to as
sumo that since then the number has increased.
The largest weigh about six and One-haif
carats, and in size and quality the stones are
said TO compare faTOr8bly with those of South
Africa

Kentucky before It was found in Arkansas
but while the sign was extremely encourag-
ing, it had not at last accounts been followed

monds have been found in Butte County, Cal
by men who were washing gravel for gold, and
there has been much speculation as to the
source from which they came. Those which
were picked up in Wisconsin and other north
states many years ago were believed t"

BUDGET ECONOMJ.

The framing of the budget for this city is at
tracing more public attention at this time than
eve- before. Various efforts are being made by
taxpayers associations TO keep down irs in
crease this vear TO the lowest figure possible
while equally strong represo citations are being

with Applause.

New Haven. Oct. 15.-AIn5assador Bryce "Pe"eu
the annual Dodge lecture course tonight Dy au-
dressing a large audience at Yale on "Indolehce
as a Hinarance to Citizenship" In beginning his
lecture he said he wouldn't comment on cuTreht
American politics. Mr. Bryce said:
Absorbed in business or pleasures. we think little
of what our membership In a Tree nation means
The eloquent voice Of a patriotic reformer some
times breaks our slumber, but the daily round OF
business pleasure nils the mind, and puollc
duty again fades in the background OF lie. Lead
ership IS essential in democracy. To lead Is now,
I'm cur great cities, difficult than II was or
we're. Personal responsibility does not mean the
vain conceit Of knowledge and Judgment where
knowledge is wanting and judgment Is unframed.
Civic duty requires of every to raise the
level of citizenship by trying diffuse among his
fellow citizens. whose opportunities have been less
favorable the knowledge and the fairness or mind
and the habit OF graphing with political questions
which democratic theory requires even rom the
average man.
The fellows who good to for minor
offices may we'll take example from that s0ung
man who. than twenty years ago, did not
consider himself above going 10 the lower house
of the New York Legislature, and who has now
become eminent statesman.
The crowd warmly applauded this apparent ref
erence to President Roosevelt.
