farewell sermon Sunday night. A.
very large congregation gathered tn
hear Kennewick's most popular
pastor. During his short stay here
in Kennewick as pastor Of the First
Presbyterian church Mr.. Smith has
won host of friends. Not only
was his going keenly felt2bx his
own church but Ivy the city at largo.
He was the prime mover in secur-

The Japan Treaty.

Recently there was signed in
Washington, a general arbitration
treaty between the United States
and Japan. The treaty, which viii.
continue in force for five years pro-
vides that all disputes of a legal
nature or in regard to the interpre-
tation of treaties shall be settled by
arbitration, but questions of honor,
independence and vital interests are
reserved for the arbitrament of war.
1t is similar to those already negoti-
ated by our State Department with
England, France, Norway, Spain,
Portugal and Switzerland, but it is
much more important because it
should put a stop toj this infamous
talk of war between Japan and
America, which has been so in
sidiously and mysterious!y preva-
lent of late. We believe this treaty,
therefore, marks one Of the greatest
steps forward in that movement,
now fast becoming irresistible, for
substituting law for war.
Not only our solemn protestations
at The Hague require this of us,
but it was our duty to take the
initiative in the matter, because we
first provoked Japan and started
the war talk. Secretary Root and
Baron Takahira deserve the thanks
of civilization for carrying to such
a happy conclusion their negotia-
tions.
We would not, however, overstate
the Importance of this treaty with
Japan. As long as honor" and
vital interests are excepted from
arbitration it will always be easy to
find pretext for going to war, TO,
honor and vital interest cover as
great a multitude of sins as of vir-
tues. The time, we fear, has not
yet come when it will be safe to re-
fer all disputes to arbitration, for a
nation might lay claim to another's
territory or independence, and this
no spirited people would or should
submit to the arbitrament of an out

AS your vices or your evil will:
For daily habits make up you,
Az stones make a stony hill.
Then let your daily deeds, however
small,
BE stepping stones toward the true;
Come forth from the wicked all,
And join the noble few.
Let's have links secure and strong,
In lffe's chain OF deeds:
Keep from all sin and wrong,
And follow righteous sreeds,
Then we may have links Of gold
In our friendship chain.
Links that will not rust or mold.
When riches begin to wane.
While we fleeting knowledge drink.
And superior wisdom feign;
Each member forms q shining link,
In our dear class chain.
Each link I'll now describe to you:
One Ia long, yet very bright.
He Ia slim. hut sure and true,
And strong forever In the right.
Another ia short. lively and gay,
Gentle shepherdess means her name;
One IL quiet. sober In her way,
A link that will gain fame.
One n great debater ia.

One n collection ofI,encils ia making,
Aud pennies with acid burning;

And ali but sweet boys spurning.
Yet we are. I'd like to say.
Ever wiser growing;
U. b. citizens we'll be some day,
And will become moro KNOWN
And when Into the world we 70,
Each taking different way:
When tested by trial and woS.
The chain Will be our strongest

For how fast the tie doth bind.
Which twines around our heart.

But sadness. when we part.

As tiny strands make the rope.
Links united form a chain;
Each link Ia firm and sure,
In one weak link is no gain.
For the chain would not endure.
Life ia called chain OF deeds,
History. u chain of wars,
Church is called chain of creeds,
Kingdoms, q chain of powers.
Let us review the ancient Rome,
Its chain of deeds We'll see:
Its rule abroad and cen at home.
Just as it used to be.
1t conquered most OF the known
world,
All lands 1t Overcame.
Every where it's flag unfurled.
And gained undying fame.
But when victor over all it stood,
Itself it could not rule.
For it lacked moral worth and good,
AS the rich were proud and cruel.
Its vast host of soldiers brave,
The true men of the land,
Could not their native country save.
For In the law they had no hand.
Mighty bulwarks tho they stood,
Strong links in the chain of Rome;
But guard the country as they would,
Corruption reigned at home.
An awful curse fell on the land.
When serfdOm came on with Il
stride;
This formed link. a link OF sand,
And the old freedom was iefied.
The Roman faith 30 deep and stern,
Vanished from the heart:
Riches was their one concern
And each one tried to get his part
The Sena te gradually lost it's power,
And the people thus lost theirs;
A monarch then plucked Freedoms
flower.
And filed the land with cares.
The army lost their strongest stay,
And like Il crumbling wall
The rusty links gave way,
And caused great Rome to fall.
And thus thru the ages we shall find.
How faults corrupt and decay;
How rusty links cease to bind.
And make the strong fall way.
Quebec on cliffs OF adamant reared,
A fort with walls of stone;
For NJ enemy ever feared,
And stood supreme alone.
1t was gained thru it's weakest link.
BY Wolfe and his few men;
And now on it's watery brink,
II will ne'er he safe again.
Napoleon was a warrior great,
Whose name was magic every.
where,
But thru pride he met his fate,
And died on an island bare.
He bridled the great Revolution,
And remolded the life of France;
And 10y his stern resolution,
Made the country to advance.
Greater lands he wish ed to gain,
More countries to subdue,
As q monarch now to reign,
And to fields OF conquest new.
was his weakekest link.
Great powers his chief aim:
OF oath or honor he ceased to think,
And unfalteringly fought for fame.
And when his sun of fame,
Dawned DER the battle field,
With mystic mein lie gained u name,
And made the enemy yield.
AS dew before the morning sun,
They faded before his sight;
But ere his fame had we'll begun,
Ambition began to blight.
And then his sun began to wane,
In a sky of bloody hue;
But he remained true to his aim.
Till it set in the field of Waterloo.
Slavery, a mOldy link was felled,
In Columiia's fair hand,
And free blood and life did weld,
The cIain again In one enduring
land.
Now friend I've briefly shown to you
lfchains would last for long,
How sure they must be and true,
Aud the links he new aud strong.
So vnnr character is as good and
true,

VISITS A BALLOON FARM.
Palisadian Tells How Prof. Meyers
Produced Artificial Rain.

Manager A. H. Dexter, of the Pail
SADIE Amusement Park, returned last
week from Utica, where he went to
ruralize at the balloon farm of Prof.
Carl Meyers near that city While there
he negotiated for new. flying machine
in the shape of a guaranteed dirigible
balloon for next summers attraction at
the park. Prof. Meyers has already
made thirty-two balloons for the United
States Government, and has the material
on hand all vanished and ready for
fifty more.
While at the balloon farm Mr. Dex-
ter saw Prof. Meyers receive a check
from Uncle Sam for $3.50 for producing
rain storm in the Adirondacks that
extinguished the forest fires Besides
this bonus, another is expected from the
State, and also remuneration from pri-
vate individuals whose property was
saved by the homemade rain. Prof.
Meyers merely sent up some balloons
containing high explosives, touched them
off, and after few hours the detona-
tons echoed and reached through the
caverns of the skies, and pretty soon
there was a drenching rain.

BULBS.
BY LEONARD SUMNER WHEELER.


For THE PALIsADIAN:
There's neighbor whom l often meet on ter
ryboat and car,
Who always carries bundles, and l wonder
what they are;
They're of various shapes and sizes, some seem
heavy, some seem light,
But | can't tell what's inside them, for they're
always wrapped UP tight.
I've done my best to find out what these bun
dies have inside,
I've felt of them, I've smelt of them, I've
looked and poked and pried,
l have even asked my neighbor, who always
Bulbs, only bulbs
| must believ my neighbor, for he is truth
full man,
But sometimes when he answers thus, I don't
how |
| know that bulbs may vary much in size and
shape and weight,
And So before l doubt his word, l have to
hesitate,
Yet when his bundles long and round, as it
is in a while,
Although, l have said before, my neighbours
without guile,
| hate to have him murmur, and never crack
a smile,
Bulbs, only bulbs"
My neighbours lot is something like acre
in extent,
And on it he has built the house in which he's
resident;
Now, taking out the space for that I've rec
koned up the size
OF what is left, where he can plant all those

Neil Paulson's Cleverness.

THE PALIsADIAN has from time to
time elaborated upon the cleverness Of
Nils Paulson's work as a carpenter and
cabinet builder Nils is now SO tarna
ton busy that he cant stay at home more
than a few hours at time, and this
after midnights He touches nothing
that is not made better by his handi
craft, and any article he repairs that is
not better than the original wouldn't
be worth fixing anyway. He often works
till midnight, besides going it all day.
This isn't right, but it shows his popu
larity And he's the best there is.

A SENSATIONAL PURCHASE.
Ferdinand Stabel Buys Six Unrestrict-
ed Lots Adjacent to Palisade.

A sensational sale was concluded last
week by the Realty Trust of New York,
with Ferdinand Stabe1, Postmaster of
Palisade, for lots on the corner, adjoin-
ing the Hudson River Realty Co. office.
This property is the west end of the va
cant stretch between Palisade avenue
and the present residence of A. H. Dex-
ter. The lots are twenty feet 'front.' thus
giving Mr. Stabel 100 feet along the car
tracks running east from Palisade ave
nue. and running back about 100 feet
1t is understood that Mr. Stabel will put
up one-story building upon the prop
erty, to be used as bakery, drug store
and post office. These lots are a part
of the park property, and are wholly
unrestricted. 1t is understood that con
nections can be made through the sewers
Of the Columbia Land and Investment
Co. While it cannot be said that this
purchase will be injurious to Palisade,
at the same time there are many who
wish the property could have been held
for other purposes.
Mr.. Stabel personally confirms the
above report to THE PALIsADIAN.
