The other day Roosevelt delivered
a great address In Europe in the in
terest Of peace. w. J. Bryan was on
tn program at the big peace congress
in the state of New York and deliver
ed great address in plea for uni
versal peace and Senator Root is on
his way to the peace conference at the
Hague. It is interesting to note that
while these things are being said and
done this government is launching the
Florida, the largest battleship in the
world, and the congress of the Unit
ed States is about to make an appro-
priation for the navy for the biennial
period Of $751;, 100000. Why talk peace
when such reckless expenditures
are being made in the interest of bet
ter war equipment?

DAVID SHELVER,

At the time OF going to press last
week there occurred the burial ser
vice for the remains, Of a young man
who, for a long time was a dear friend
and a pupil during a year of school. In
all that time we never knew him to
do an unmanly act or to shirk a dutv.
He was always courteous, always dill
gent always kind. By both student
and teacher he was universally re-
spected, admired and loved. His loss
will be felt the more keenly because
somehow he was the friend of all, both
OF those who knew him well and those
who knew him little. 1t is as If we
had lost a brother, a kind, honest, true
comrade, whose example was uplift
ing, Strengthening, and inspiring.
His state and community viii miss
his promised ability, integrity and en-
ergy IN after life. Honors and iuflu
ence We looked forward to see him
reach IN: the future. These are lost:
but the: example Of his honest upright
young manhood, his contempt for VIVA,
was false and untrue, his WILLINGNESS
to DO his duty whether pleasant or un
pleasant these are not lost. The mem
Org Of what David shelver was viii
live with us long. His memory /,
worthy to live, for 1t will bring ma M,
alone sorrow and regret, but hope and
strength and a deeper realization O,
the worth Of honesty, kindness and
duty wen done.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Z, Memorial Day has come and gone.
Another year has taken its toll from
the ranks Of the Grand Army Of the
Republic. The men who, back In the
days Of slavery, OPPRESSION. and disun-
ion, shouldered the musket and march
ed forth, not to conquer a nation, but
to free their fellow men. are today
thinned in numbers, growing grayer,
feebler and more near the end. Yet
when the time comes to decorate their
comrades graves, to listen to the old
songs, and patriotic addresses, the
same spirit that called them forth in
81 stirs in their hearts and calls them
forth once more to honor the flag that
is doubly dear to those who have
fought for it. =
See them now as they wend their
way toward the resting place of their
comrades-a thin line in blue, grey
haired and bent with years, yet each
head straightens and each hat is rails
ed in salute as the colors are passed,
each veteran heart of fifty years ago
thrills to the martial music of the
past. A nation which can produce an
army Of men who for fifty years thus
keep alive and green the memories of
the days when they fought that the
nation might live, has in it a store
house Of patriotism which no time
and no deeds can destroy.
Do we realize the inestimable gift
that is ours to be allowed to see the
patriotism. the love Of country, the
unselishness, OF these men whose days
will soon be over? Though we honor
them greatly, they ask not honor TO,
themselves, but for the flag. To them
in the dark days of the Civil war was
taught the one great lesson of life
the lesson Of sacrifice. There was
nothing they did not undergo, no hard
ship they did not bear, no danger they
did not encounter. And for what? Mo-
for fame or fortune or wealth, the
| things which stir men to achieve grea1
deeds, but for principle, for a natior

Now and Forever .,:,. = F.. - =
May we~translate something OF taei1
courage, their loyalty their sense so
duty, their supreme patriotism, int
the affairs of our lives. May we catct
something of the spirit till the sect
OF their sacrifice shall grow into thu
splendid flower Of citizenship which
shall blossom In our midst.
We can not repay them for theI
toll; : No nation Of the world could re
pay them. We can only resolve tina

Cumberland county inventor, to whom
many people give the credit for being
the originator of the modern tele-
phone. is organizing a company and
planning to erect big factory for the
manufacture of a coin separator which
his brain has recently evolved

allow coin OF a certain size to slip
through, and no larger. Mr. Draw

dollars drop into a tube; another turn
and out come the halves, etc. Pressure
of button in the tube separates the
coins into piles of five, ten, twenty,
etc, for easy rolling into packages.
Mr.. Drawbaugh says two sizes of the
separator will be marketed, one re-
failing at SOS and the other at SIS.
The price, he claims, will bring the
machine within the reach of every
financial institution or counting room
