VENTS WRATH IN
SCARLET LETTERS
Disgruntled Sailor Daubs Cruis.
er's White Sides With Tale
of His Woes

The crew of the United States cruiser
Galveston may not be in sympathy
with the man who used the red paint
and Lieutenant Commander David w.
Todd, the executive officer, may be and
probably is the agreeable gentleman
he appears, but it is sure and certain
as the expiration of liberty that there
was not a very keen lookout on the
ship during the dark interval between
Wednesday and yesterday morning
Daylight found the Galveston safe at
anchor none of the guns We're missing
and the port gangway was still at the
left hand side of the ship. The white
sides of the ship, however, were marked
from bow to stern on both sides with
crimson letters, each two feet or more
in length.
The letters on one side of the ship
spelled out the information: This is
Davy Todd's madhouse." On the other
side the crimson legend read: Bum
chow, little liberty, but plenty work.
The artist neglected to sign his work
and was not on hand to explain how
he had managed to do so much letter
ing without being observed or why he
had chosen the ships side as the field
for his brush work.
Whoever did the work made it plain
to all the world that he disaproved of
the Galveston, but the only immediate
effect of his enterprise was to give all
hands busy morning covering his
criticism and the ships sides with a
new coat of white paint.
The Galveston sailed yesterday after
noon for the Bremerton navy yard,
where the cruiser will go out of COM
mission and the crew to other ships.
The ship returned the other day from
the Asiatic station after four years in
the orient and tedious voyage home
Among the crew are many short term
men and it is believed on board that the
artist was one of these who adopted
this method of getting even for some
past grievance, fancied or real
While in the orient some of the CAL
veston's crew Were sent to prison for
stealing and selling brass and copper
that formed part of the ships equip
ment, and in the reign of strict dis
cipline that followed the discovery OF
the thefts it is believed that the ex-
ecutive officer may have hurt some
bodys feelings. Lieutenant Todd has a
good record in the navy and the men
generally speak well of him.

rubber anti-skids, wear virtually twice
as long and have many advantages over
other anti-skids. The buttons on the

so large that they give practically the

cally as long as a smooth tread before

THE PAPER WORTH WHILE.

After somewhat lengthy prelude
upon the responsibilities and privil-
eyes of the average newspaper editor,
the Homer (La.) Guardian-Jo Journal
thus discoureses upon the newspaper
editor, and upon the power which a
properly conducted, independent news
paper yields:
1T is beyond the computation of
the finite mind to measure the far
reaching influence of widely circd-
lated journal. Newspapers are the
mediums through which the public
keeps posted and informed as to all
current events. They are the great
est educating factors of the times, and
the editor of the great modern daily,

visits, perhaps, few hundred homes,

lister of the sacred gospel, is charged

WHY MEN CHEAT.

Prof Hugo Munsterberg, of Har-
ward says men fail to personify the
government, and consequently have no
hesitation in cheating it.
This explanation may be satisfac-
tory to Prof. Munsterberg and other
psychologists, says the Nashville Ten
nessean, but to even the stupidest of
creatures it surely cannot seem to
be an adequate defense for defrauding
the government.
There is no reason why morals and
ethics should be waived when man
is dealing with corporation or a gov
eminent rather than with individuals.
1t is not likely that former Governor
Rollins, of New Hampshire, thought
he was doing right in smuggling in
goods upon which he should have paid
a duty.
He simply thought that there was
no chance that he would be caught. 1t
was not the lack Of personality in the
government which persuaded him to
defraud it, but the thought that the
lack of personality Iessened the chance
for detection practiced on the gov
ernment
A corporation is not impersonal. 1t
consists of all the persons who are in
terested in it, and a crime against the
corporation is a crime against all
of them. When a corporation vio-
lates the laws of the land, the re-
sponsible members of the corporation
are at fault. No officer can properly
sanction any action by his corpora
ton which he would not sanction if
he were to do it personally.
Neither is the government ,fmper-
sonal. A crime against the govern
ment is a crime against all the per-
sons who make up the government.
Millions of American citizens stand
ready to take up arms and risk their
lives in defense of the United States
government. 1t is million of men, wo-
men and children who make up the
happy homes of this country and en-
joy it's liberties.
The time is rapidly coming when
citizens of all classes will defend the
from other evils as will
ingly as they defend it against a for
eign foe. TIE government is the peo-
pie. Every year it becomes more es-
sentially the people as they exercise
the ballot with greater wisdom.

DECORATION DAY AT ANDERSON
VILE.

What a great improvement over the
old conditions at Andersonville was
the celebration yesterday.
The day of terrorism, of drunken
debauchery by an army Of negroes
bordering on the verge of a bloody
riot, was succeeded by day of calm,
of peaceful tribute TO the memory of
the Union dead inferred in the ceme-
terry.
Floral emblems and flags marked
their last resting places, music and
orations testified to tlSair patriotic
sacrifice, and the final volley be-
spoke the living soldiers tribute to
the host whose arms have been stack
ed forever on flames eternal camp
ing ground"
In the old days the Americas mill
tary company did duty at Anderson
vile, but with far different purpose
in view from the service rendered yes
terday.
In the past, with bayonets fixed and
guns loaded with ball cartridges, they
stood guard at the historic town, as
a barrier to violence and rapine, as
a breastwork of the law against a
turbulent mob ready for deeds of an
archy unless restrained by strong
force.
Yesterday their duty was a far MOI
pleasant one, that of attesting that
true men, South or North, recognize
soldierly qualities and honor soldier
ly sacrifices, that in the hearts of the
Georgia people there fingers no senti-
ment of resentment against the men
of Illinois, and Iowa, and Wisconsin,
and New York, and other states, now
resting peacefully under the beautffn
green sward of the national "bivouac
OF the dead, that the sacrifice of their
lives upon the altar of duty as they
saw it is recognized as of the same
high type as, the sacrifice that untold
thousands of the brave men in grey
made from the same high sense of
devotion to principle
Fortunate it is, indeed, for the com
mon land when both sections can
honor the memory of those who died
for their country's sake without re-
gard to the color of TIE uniform or
the flag that fioated over them upon
the field of battle Fortunate for all
that the day has come when -Ander-
sonville, with all its painful histo-
ry, is no longer the scene of drunken
revelry by half barbarous blacks, but
a picture of serene beauty on the
Northern Decoration Day, with a pro-
gram closed by a salute by Southern
boys, boys whose fathers and grand |
sires were also soldiers, boys in whose
hands the flag and honor of their
country is ever safe, and in whose
hearts are treasured the noblest SEN
timents and grandest traditions of
that South whose spirit of self-sacri-
fee has never grown less with the
passing years.

IF ALL WHO HATE WOULD LOVE
US.

If al who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue:
If the cruel words were kisses,
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses would ne'er tighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would brighten
Above the grave of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff
If hearts were only jolly,
If grieving were forgot,
And tears of melancholy
We're things that are not
Then love would kneel to duty.
And all the world would seem
a bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
If men would cease to worry,
And women cease to sigh.
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die;
If ne ghbor spaEe to neighbor.
AS love demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall.
Then every day would glisten,
And every eye would shine,
And God would pause to listen
And life would be divine.

JAMES NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

1t is no exaggeration to say Mr.
James Bryce, the BRITISH ambassa-
dor at Washington. is the most popu-
lar diplomat ever accredited to this
country, and the rumor that he has
sought his own recall and will retire
to private life in England will be
heard with regret throughout the
United States, says the Nashville Ten
nesseean.
Long before Mr. Bryce came to
this country as the representative Of
King Edward he visited America and
gathered material for his American
Commonwealth probably the most
comprehensive work ever written con
corning this government. His work
is such an authority that Americans
relish it even better than foreigners,
and It has endeared the author to
every loyal citizen of this republic.
Mr.. Bryce did not win the love Of
The American people by aatterr, but
tough a sympathetic study Of tae
United States and its people and a fair
presentation of what he observed in
this country. The suggestion that he
was to be sent here as ambassador a
quarter of a century after he had
published his famous work on Amer
lea was greeted with enthusiasm, and
no more popular move than the az
pointment of Mr.. Bryce to his pres
ent post was eyed made by tie Brit
| ISL foreign Office. Beneath the ap-
pointment could be seen the shrewd
diplomacy of King Edward
A man of Mr. Bryce's democracy
and mentality is an ideal ambassador
for post like that at Washington
There is no wall of Formally stanl-
ing between Mr.. Bryce and the hum
blest man who approaches him. He
is little given 10 rep tape and sug-
gests the shrewd, intelligent bus ness
man who seeks information wherever
he can find it. AS a consequence.
Mr. Bryce has always been able tc
feel the real pulse of tie American
people, and has been as gracious as
any OF his predecessors in fulfilling
| his more formal duties.
Whenever a school or college has
asked Mr. Bryce to visit It he has
gladly done so. From ocean to ocean
he has addressed large bodies Of stu
dents and given them wholesome aa-
vice. Mr.. Bryce isver fulsome IN
| his praise, and his Criticisms are Of
such a constructive nature that TREY
never offend. He stands somewhat
n the position of being a big, sen
sible brother to America, and his re-
turn to Great Britain would be a dis
tinct loss to this country.
Mr.. Bryce has been much affected
by the death of King Edward. They
were extremely fond of each other
and had been intimate friends for
years. Then Mr. Bryce is no longer
young, and some of his friends on the
other side say he desires to pass his
last years at home. But it is to be
hoped that the rumors of his with-
drawal are without foundation It
would be fortunate for King George to
have such an able ambassador here
in the opening days of his reign, and
it is barely possible that the reports
of possible withdrawal may be
based upon the proffer of a resigna-
ton which an ambassador would make
through courtesy upon the coronation
of new king.
