PEACE VS.. WAR

While the fleet lay al anchor in the
harbor of San Francisco, the San
Francisco Star said that it represent
ed an expenditure of s18O.0O0. 900.
That represented the amount foc the
construction of the ships alone, and
did not take into account the enor-
nous expenditure for keeping the
same afloat.
Suppose that all the moneys that
have been appropriated for the navy
in the direction of war had been ap-
propriated for good roads in the di-
rectiOn of peace, what a great country
We would have today, for the great
ness of a country is measured largely
by its good roads.
And see. too, the class Of people
that the appropriations would benefit.
The great agricultural masses. the
bone and sinew of our great republic.
Good roads would mean better vehi-
Giles, closer communication, cheaper
freight rates, larger schools and
churches, quicker transportation; in
a word, more JOY and happiness il all
directions.
We want our statesmen to think
less of the things of war and more OF
the things Of peace.
The inhabitants of the interior
should form a solid phalanx and de
mand Of our law makers for every
million of dollars appropriated to the
purposes of war that two millions OF
dollars should be appropriated to the
things that beOng to the white-winged
messengers of peace.
Let us demand the construction of
good roads, the same as the improve
ment of rivers. Why make fish of one
and fowl of the other?

Mr.. Cleveland was nothing OF a doc
trinaire. He had never been a stu
dent. His success was his integrity.
his courage and his common nsense
within the radius of his mental vision.
He was a good judge of men for work
ing purposes. Himself a kindly man
he wanted 10 do generous things. I'm
patient of restraint, he had a leaning
toward the lOwly and a distrust of the
official great; somewhat oyeruuicI, to
resent advice and to regard it as in
trusion. In point of fact he was
sympathetic, though not an emotional
or efusive man, and as sensitive as q
wOman.-COuriepJO
Mr.. Cleveland will go down in his
tory as one of the great men of the
century, but if he had been more of
d tactician, enough to have KEEP, his
party from drifting away from him.
ne would have held it in power for
many years and he would have been
idolized while living and canonizpd af-
ter his departure to the Great Re
yond.

THE GOOD COOK KNOWS

That by sailing the water when
pOaching eggs they are rendered whit
er and clearer. A certain French
cook adds half a teaspoonful of vine
gar to every two quarts of water when
pOaching eggs.
That pork sausage are less greasy
when brOiled. Prick the skin Of each
sausage once in the center before
cooking
That pulled bread is delicious with
soup. To make it. cut crusts from a
loaf of bread just from the oven. With
a fork pull the bread apart into strips
five inches long and quite thin. Dry
them in a slow oven until crisp and a
delicate brown. They are often used
at formal dinners.
That ordinary fried eggs are deli
cious with Drowned butter. Put
three tabIespoonfuls of butter il a
frying pan. Set the pan over a brisk
fire. Let the butter turn a light brown
color, then add two teaspOonfuIs of
good vinegar. Shake the pan slightly
to mix the butter and vinegar well.
Then pour it around and over the
eggs. Serve immediately.-Live Oak

BEGINNING TO LOOK GOOD FOR
THE NEWsPAPERsR

Recent decisions of the courts are
not encouraging to the politicians in
this state who are bringing suits
against the newspapers for the pur-
pose Of intimidation and the suppress
sion Of free speech. A libel suit was
recently brought against the Column
bus co. State Journal for 100000
by the county auditor for criticising
his conduct as an official The paper
said that the conduct of the office was
marked by a disregard of public in
terests, etc. The jury returned a YER
dict in favor of the newspaper and
the court held that the newspaper
had the right of exposure.
So again, Sidney Radcliffe and his
wife Of Louisville, Ky, sued the Her
aid Publishing Company for $4,000
for a headline which appeared in the
paper rejecting upon them. The
newspaper owners said that the head
line was put over the article in the
haste of getting out the paper and
was not intentional. The verdict of
the jury was in favor Of the newspa-
per.
More latitude is being given news
papers BY the courts and juries

it were true that he had drawn 800

Oil stock in the past ten years; that
the report that he is building the

as a director of the Standard Oil Com
pany. and instead of being in feeble
health his health is most excellent.
With these corrections. the item that
this paper recently printed is correct.
We are certainly glad that he is en-
joying rugged health. and regret that
his dividends have not been largely
more than printed: enough. indeed.

LET'S BE SENSIBLE AND DO
AWAY WITH FOLLY

The S1SO,0O0,0 900 invested in the war
ships now in San Francisco harbor
would irragate 6. 100000 acres of land.
and provide homes for 100000 families
giving to each family fifty acres OF
land. That amount of money would
build a railroad from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and such a road owned by
the people would squeeze every drop
of water out of railroads Of the coun-
try.
That amount of money would build
and equip a national telegraph and tel
ephone system. which, if properly con-
ducted would go far toward relieving
the people of the tremendous monop-
oily burden now resting on their backs.
That amount of money would build
from 90 to 100 great electric power
plants for the people and free item
from a monopoly that is now SHINING
them.
Instead of building more warships
isn't it time to call halt? With tens
of thousands of our citizens begging
for an opportunity to earn a living,
isn't it time To call halt on this wick
ed waste of money and energy? If We
are going more and more into the war
ship business, let us be honest and
pull down our churches. If We are to
glorify war, let us quit being hypo-
crites.-San Francisco Star.

mates that the cost of the ammunition
expended at target practice in Magda-

of $150,000. THAT expenditure" he

finitely superior to the armored
cruiser ten vessels of this type having
