President Roosevelt is convinc-

nominated on the first ballot and
there is no shrewder judge OF

Ambassador Takahira, former
ly japanese Minister to the Uni
ted States, who has just returned
as Ambassador, scouts the idea
that there may come war between
the United States and Japan,
precisely as has every other con-
servative Japanese statesman.
The Ambassador declares that it
reflects on the press of the Uni
ted States that bellicoSe stories
should have found their way into
print. With unblushing effront-
cry, some newspapers which a
short time ago were declaring
that war was inevitable are say
ing now that it is all a mistake,
that there is no danger of war
with Japan over the immigration
question, but that what they
meant to say was that the war
would be over the open door"
in Manchuria. But war they
must have at any price.

1t has often been asked why
Secretary Taft refused to agree
to a compromise with Mr.. Fora
ker. The Secretary offered to
use all his influence to prevent
his friends from working against
Mr.. Foraker's reelection to the
Senate, but declined to ask his
friends to help Mr.. Foraker to
gain reelection. This PROPOSE
ton Mr.. Foraker declined. The
Secretary then said that he stood
for the precise opposite of that
for which Mr.. Foraker stood. He
stood for President Roosevelt S
policies, Mr.. Foraker stood op'
posed to them. He could not
make an alliance with an out
spoken opponent of those policies
without deserving to be called a
mere timeserver. Mr.. Foraker
then declared it would be war
to the knife" between them, and
it has been-but Mr.. Foraker has
got the knife.

Obituary..

Charles Anderson Feeser was
born August %, 1889, and died
February II, 1908, aged Is years,
5 months and 10 days.
After more than a years hero
ic struggle with the dread white
plague, Charlie passed to eternal
rest Monday evening at 6:35 at
his parents home in Bradford.
For him the struggle and bur-
den-bearing of earth is ended and
we confidently trust that like one
who awakens from a troubled
dream, he has awakened to see
life'S endless morning break, at
home with the vast throng of
loved ones, missed from earth,
from the home circle, but at
home with the Heavenly Father.
Charles home instincts were
strong, his devotion to his par
ents, and especially to the ailing
mother, were particularly note
worthy, hence is the burden par
ticularly heavy upon the bereav-
ed parents. They will miss his
kindly smile and friendly greet
ing, and the jovial laugh, leaving
only their memory to serve as
balm to the wounded hearts.
"Cold in the dust the perished heart may lie
But that which warmed 1t once can never
die"
1t is sad at any time to stand
beside the bed of the dying and
watch life's ebbing tide drifting
the loved one slowly perhaps, but
surely, into the great ocean OF
eternity, but when there comes
whispering from parched lips,
Though | walk through the val
lev of the shadow of death,
will fear no evil; for Thou art
with me; Thy rod and Thy staff
they comfort me-" it brings a
balm to the wounded heart. Thus
closed the life of this noble young
man.
His life was passed in our
midst, coming into our commun-
ity from near Gettysburg while
but a prattling child, he has
grown up with us, entWining his
life lines about our hearts, almost
as our very own, full of sunshine
and good fellowship, endearing
himself to his schoolmates and
associates, the rare flowers en-
towering his narrow resting
place are mute emblems of the
esteem of true friends.
Thus would we remember him,
in memory keep him, sWeetly re-
posing among the beautiful and
fragrant flowers.

The idea suggested by M. O.
Leighton, of the Geological Sur
Vey, that disastrous floods can
be prevented by constructing
conservation reservoirs along the
banks of those rivers which run
through mountainous country is
likely to command considerable
attention. Mr.. Leighton saws
that the Ohio river is especially
adapted to the construction of
such reservoirs. His plan is to
construct the reservoirs in nat
ural overflow basins, to keep
them empty under normal con-
ditions but, when the river rises
to the danger point, to turn the
overflow into the reservoirs.
There it could be conserved un-
til period of low water when it.
could be turned back into the
channel thus facilitating naviga-
ton and maintaining effective
waterpower. Mr.. Leighton points
out that the last flood cost the
Ohio valley about 100000, 900, |
and it is probable the present one
will cost as much, and that by
the expenditure of the like sum
once, for the construction of res
ervoirs, all future damage could
De averted.

There is reason to believe that
the Senate will ratify the new
arbitration treaties which the
President is preparing to send in,
the French treaty having been
submitted already. This is as it
should be. The United States

hitting to arbitration rather than
go to war, and no man has done
more to promote the worlds

Well, by far the most particular
part of all your plans is to make
sure that the right paper goes on
the walls.
The cost of the paper is worth con-
sidering-but style, newness, suit
ability is your main lookout.
For it is quite possible for you to
pay us DC a roll and get new de-
signs, while at other places you
may pay as high as 40c a roll, and
still have patterns away behind
the times.
The hint should be plain enough.
We've a whole NEW stock to
show you-a bright, dependable
lot of paper. Wall paper that you
can buy from in safety without
knowing anything at all about
Wall Paper quality.
We are really anxious to have you

trouble over week ago and we
understand he is in a critical con-
dition. We think there are too
many operations for abdominal
pain, where cool medical treat
ment and correct diagnosis in
the beginning might save life
without the operation.
A week or so ago we were kept
in on account of the ice on the
sidewalks as we feared to go out
even to get milk or beer(?) But
we had to get out for bread and
meat. No one fell to their in

Mr.. Editor, don't your paper
cost about double>no to what it
did two years ago? You had bet
ter add on a little more to your
subscription price and say you
can't help it. The paper for the
Commercial Review here costs
about three thousand dollars
more this year than it did two
years ago. The Muncie Star has
raised the price to ten cents per
week or two cents for single copy
and five for Sunday issue. So
subscribers should not kick on
the price if it is raised a few
cents as paper costs more than
double now. Pork, corn, wheat
and oats fuctuate in price, and
we hope in our next election the
price for votes will go way up,
for if we have to sell we want it
to be worth while! We go back
on 'tWofer" candidates-it must
be cash. We are glad that vote.

will hardly be navigable only for

The dredging cost the farmers a

SAMUEL {. COOPER
KILLED BY CAR
Retired Auctioneer, Aged 20
Years, Struck by Fast Moving
II Street Trolley
Crew Place Man Aboard and
Garry Him to Beach Before
Given Treatment

Sampel E. Cooper, a retired auction
eer. 20 years old, was killed yesterday
afternoon about 4:30 o'clock by an out
bound H street car in charge of Motor
man Martin L. Honke and Conductor
F. T. Sinclair. Cooper, who lived at
1473 Ninth avenue, Sunset, was cross
ing the street at Forty-sixth avenue
and II street at the time he was struck
by the car. As soon as the motorman
realized what had happened he stopped
the car and placed Cooper aboard.
Instead of switching back and rush
ing the man to the park hospital the
car crew resumed its trip to the beach.
Detective Jack Fitzgerald boarded the
car at the beach for the return trip
to the city, and when he discovered
the injured man, ordered the motorman
to run his car at full speed as far as
the hospital.
The surgeons at the hospital declared
the man dead without removing him
from the car. The body was taken TO
the park police station and later to
the morgue, where Frank Hammond,
son in law of the man. Identified the
body. Honke, the motorman. was ar
rested by Fitzgerald and charged with
manslaughter.
Detective Fitzgerald stated last night
that the mans life might have been
saved had the crew placed him .on an
other inbound car instead of carrying
him all the way out to the beach.
