paper OF his time, and country, could

to itself the privilege of general criti-
cism, cannot consistently complain
when It is the object of criticism.
And, considering the faults and fail
ings that are inspearaple from jour
nalism, the blast blown by one jour
nal in the direction of another might
well be tempered by a sense of mod
esty, IL not of humor. Before the

AIMING FOR PEACE.

AIMING FOR PEACE.
Fortunately the, available wealth
of the world, is limited and credit
can reach only so far. Some day the
German war lord with his extrava-
CANT naval program and the Japs
with their commercial ambitions will
exhaust the patience and strength Of
their tax-burdened people and then
that will happen, which will turn
the attention of their respective
governments from menacing foreign
rivals to menacing conditions ut
home.
What does the average man want
more than the peace and comfort of
and prosperity of himself and his
neighbors and the hope of a future
existence? What does he care for
international politics or the exteu-
sion of imperial policies?- ,
England sees in the vastly grow
ing armament of Germany a pIr-
pose to dominate the seas. In Asia
the japanese royal family by tax
ing the subjects to subsidize ships
and by lodging customs duties and
exacting rebates from government
controlled railroads, are destroying
competition for their slave-made
goods; but all the time they are de-
stroying the virility and loyalty Of
the class on which they must depend
to turn the spindles in times of peace
and carry arms in times OF war.
Germany must necessarily be doing
the same thing to in her warlike
preparations. and national decay is
certain to be the ultimate outcome
We never witnessed a better sign
of approaching peace than Ger
many's demonstration against ii. 4
rainbow of promise shows in the
trailing smoke of her line Of ships.
Men can go to the Hague confer
ence and talk of peace and plot the
overthrow of governments; but when
the people, who must pay for the
ships and man them, get enough OF
warmly, then war will cease.
AS for this country, conditions
impose upon us the necessity OF
keeping an up-to-date navy sufficien:
to guard our coasts; but our main
reliance must be our people and the
wealth of the country, and money
spent on developing resources ann
cheap means of interior communica-
ton are worth more than superior
fleet in the trial of endurance. As
far as the cost of fleets Is concerned.
we can build and bankrupt every
other nation in the world. aud still.
have money left 20 build more. and
when the show down comes, II come
IL must. we will get the ships and
get the men and dictate terms OF
peace TO the world.

sible did not keep US too busy to
spend time In the contemplation OF

served that those people and those
newspapers, which have time TO de
vote TO their neighbor's affairs, have
much in common.
However, occasionally the best
regulated newspaper makes an error
that Is more embarrassing to its
management than to the parties in
volved; and apology is almost as diff
ficult and unayailing as an explana-
ton. In such a case one can only
hope that Mr.. Taft's confidence In
the American sense of humor is not
misplaced. and that the lapse on this
particular occasion Is so extreme as
to be classed as an unusual circum-
stance and not evidence of a general
disregard of facts or .carelessness in
the handling of news.
Indeed, some errors, far from in
dicating carelessness, only go to IL

The Tale Of a skirt.

Miss Agnes MaeDonogh is wear
ing pretty dance frock of pale blue
chiffon made slightly empire"-From
a Philadelphia newspaper.
No one is more regularly the butt
of ridicule among the sophisticated
and smart" dwellers in large cities
than the country editor whose news
columns are customarily filled with
reports of the small events Of small
community.
In conversation, In comic weeklies,
In comedies presented to amuse met
ropolitan audiences, the country
editor of the country editor. 1t may
be said Is derided for regarding as
news the fact that Mr.. Smith or Mr..
Brown has painted his barn. sold his
riding horse, killed his hogs or sold
his crop Of corn or tobacco. But in
defense that the scope OF his opera
lions Is not wide. The financial sup
port he receives does not warrant him
in filling his journal with expensive
articles, and, finally, the community
is interested in knowing whose barn
has been painted, whose crops have
been sent to market. The city news
paper has its reportorial staff, its
special correspondents. its telegraphic
news service, wherewith to fill its
space. IL Is a trite saying that in
making the modern, city daily the
problem is not that of filling the col
umns, but of eliminating the least in
teresting OF the valuable items.
1t is impossible TO eliminate all
minor items to give space to lengthier
reports OF events of worldwide, state
wide or city-wide Interest. The rule
under which the country newspaper
reports the painting of barn holds
good In the local room of the largest
metropolitan journal. The fact that
Mrs. Jones, or Brown. Is in or out
of town, is news" The personal
