SIMPLE LIFE FOR CHEAP LIVING.

With all our efforts to bring down
the cost of living 0n.y few have
quietly and effectually solved the prob
lem. Their method has been to re-
themselves within the limits of their
incomes, as in the days of old, buy
with scrupulous care, practice economy
and avoid waste. People who cut their
garment according to their cloth ap-
parently succeed now as formerly and
live we'll within average means.
According to the history books, the
o d. fashioned frugality and sterling
endurance made our forefathers what
they were-the stolid reliable sons of
a hardy race. They lived frugally, per-
haps, not from choice, but from nee
essity, and they saved the extra cent"
In these modern days Of plenty, we
complain that we cannot 'get ahead
and lay up something for rainy day.
If our expenses seem large we think
nothing about it and simply let it go.
Americans are not apt to stop to equa-
lie the income and expense of the
family budget for what we want we
usually get regardless of the cost
The spirit of the frugality Of other
days applied to our modern conditions
would be one way of meeting the prob
lens of the cost of living, but it is not
likely to be embraced by many, be-
cause we live in a different atmosphere.

KEEP THE POWDER DRY.

1t IS the fashion to decry and de-
nounce those Americans who would
keep the powder dry when coming
in contact, automatically or otherwise,
with apan. The lady doth protest too
much, methinlIs. Everybody in
Japan is insisting that a war between
that country and ours is both absurd
and impossible: but that is precisely
what they said about the threatened
war with Russia that came suddenly
and proved costly and bloody.
1t was e clap of thunder from a Sc
rene sky-the assault on Port Arthur,
that was the unheralded beginning OF
one Of the greatest and one of the
bravest wars of mankind 1t is rather
persistently asserted that Japan has no

The child pulls things apart. The
man put them together. In order that
the child may know how to put things

him the use of words by giving him
sentences to pull apart. After the
child, however, has broken the SEN

predicate, we inconsistency will not
let him treat these two parts as indie
pendent wholes. We will not let him,
for instance, pull the predicate INTO
pieces to find out what relation the
words therein bear to one another as
parts of the predicate. On the contrary,
We insist upon him Juggling the sub

We tell him that this, that or the
other word in the predicate is related

if she should begin to imagine that 1T
would turn out a profitable enterprise?
We all know what an immense indem-
nifty she expected from Russia as the
price of defeat and how the president
of the United States brought about
peace without so great sacrifice on the
part of the vanquished.
If Japan Is absolutely friendly, she
cannot take offense if We take meas
ures to protect ourselves even from a
struggle they say is impossible. AS
Oliver Cromwell said, Trust in God,
but keep your powder dry" AS for a
japanese alliance, it is simply out of

CHILL AND PERU QUARRELlNG.

The withdrawal of the Peruvian le-
CATION from Chill creates once more
critical situation between the South
American republics mentioned. The re-
lations of the two countries have been
more or less strained for a consider
able time owing to the refusal of Chilli
to restore the conquered provinces of
Tacua and africa to Peru, as provided
in the treaty of peace negotiated at
the close of the war between the coun
tries nearly 80 years ago.
The immediate cause of the renewal
of the i'll feeling was the expulsion of
the Peruvian priests from the disputed
provinces by the Gillian government.
Whether the priests were interesting
themselves in the political dispute be-
tween the countries or not does not
appear, but their expulsion has been
undoubtedly construed by Peru as be-
ing connected with the Tacu- africa
dispute.
The trouble between the two repub-
lies, although of long standing, is very
difficult of adjustment. Although, ac-
cording to the treaty, Chill was obli-
gated to restore the provinces to their
old-time sovereignty at the end of a
period long since past, the new inter
ests that have developed since the
treaty was entered into have rendered
| the Chilians unwilling to release their
hold on the rich prize they won by
! force of arms.

NO MONOPOLY.

Most persons will find it difficult to
appreciate the fine point of view which
would shut out any explorer from
searching for the south pole by any
route that he wished to follow. There
has been some agitation, more or less
violent, in Antarctic exploration cir
Giles lately as to the intents and pur-
poses of the various expeditions
which are planned or being planned
for far southern journeys. 1t is because
of this agitation that Lieutenant FIJI
elmer, Of the German expedition,
ems to assure other intending explor-
ers that he does not purpose poaching
on their preserves. AS a matter of
fact, he is not going south to try to
discover the south pole. What he
wants to know is whether the Anarc-
tic continent consists of two islands
divided by frozen straits extending
across the land from Weddell sea to
Ross sea. .
Now that seems to be such very
modest object that really we don't see
how the British or American explor-
ers can make any objection. Further
than that we really do not see why if
Lieutenant F'ilchner wanted to make
an attempt on the pole itself he should
be denied the privilege because some
one else has the same thing in mind.

Of representative in passing Mr..

of the wreck of the Maine and the pro-
per disposition of the remains or the
crew which may be found. The rea-
sons for such work are numerous and
urgent while not one has been pre-
scented against it which is of serious
weight
We owe it to Spain and to ourselves
that the wreck should be carefully
raised and expertly and publicly ex-
amined, so as to secure from it the
fullest and most convincing evidence
concerning the cause and character
of the disaster. If the first explosion
was external no Spaniard should OBJ

If it was internal no American should
hesitate to have the truth proclaimed
We owe it to Cuba that her principal
harbor shall be freed from an obstruc-
ton which is dangerous to commerce

ATLANTA, Ga, March 3l.-As eVl-
dence that Senator Tillman is regain
ing his faculties. he discussed politics
for an hour yesterday at the local san
itarium, where he has been patent
since coming here from Washington;
His theme was the recent eruption"
as he termed it, in the house.
"The Democrats played their game
noorly." said the senator, when they
called for that vote to declare the
speakers chair vacant. Cannon had
been shorn of practically all power
when they took from him the privilege
of naming the committee on rules,
and if the Democrats had let matters
stand he would have been politically
lost. The result of the call for the
vote to declare the chair vacant re-
stored in a measure his prestige"
Senator Tillman believes Cannon VIII
retire from the speakership "at the
first favorable opportunity" He be-
Iieyes. also, that the speaker will have
no trouble in securing reelection to
congress if he asks for another term.

FIND BONES IN A BOAT;
INDIAN CRIME INDICATED

hunters returning from the coast coun-
try of Lower California report the dis
covery of the trunkless skeleton OF a
man in a small boat which had been
beached on the sand of the Gulf of
California. There were no clothes or
other means of identifying the bones.
but they are supposed to be those OF
a prospector or a scientist exploring
the gulf coast country. The theory
is that the man came TO ms death at
the hands of the fierce Seri Indians,
reputed to be cannibals, who live on
Tiburon island,
The same party on its return trip
discovered inland the body of another
unknown man, half eaten by wild ami
mails. Evidently the man mad lam
down and died on the road, as a black
coat and dark shirt. hanging in tree
near by furnished the only clew to his
