The Coming Peace Celebration.

In considering the movement looking
to the celebration of the Tooth anniver-
sary of the signing of the last peace
compact between the United States and
Great Britain, we must not overlook
the estimates of it's historic value
which competent observers make.
There is agreement as to the feasibili
ty, as we'll as to the necessity of a
great celebration in 1914 of the centen-
NAL anniversary of the signing of the
treaty of Ghent. 1t was at first thought
that this celebration might be partici-
pated in only by the states in the
Union at the time of the signing of the
compact and by Ontario, Quebec, and
the Maritime provinces, but the propo-
sal has taken on a more comprehensive
phrase.
Richard Olney, former secretary of
state and no ideal sentimentalist. says
thal the treaty Of Ghent by its eXclu
sion Of warsnips from the Great Lakes
mas presented All ellt uTIlS oDJttl les
son of what two countries, peacefully
disposed, may accomplish toward keep
ing war at a distance. President A.
Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard, himself
an authority on government, speaks of
the provision in the treaty forbidding
the maintenance of naval fleets on the
Great Lakes as having been scrupu-
lously observed for q century. Other
mer Of advancement and spirit agree
that the celebration should be made
national in character.
1t certainly should be more than Sec
tional and we believe that the triumph
of good understanding, of fraternity,
OF sanity in the adjustment of disputes
between neighbors, for which such a
celebration will stand, will invite the
participation of peace-lovinS people all
over the world

A Little "Line Storm" Nonsense.

An exchange complains that the
differ. The eQuinoxial came this year
about eight days early, according to
the old storm deluson
A properly conducted and well-man-
nered line storm should arrive about
the twentieth of September. according
to our grandfathers, our fathers, and
even some of us. and we usually ex-
pect disturbing influence upon the
elements when the sun crosses the line
Science has repeatedly sought to cor
rect this notion of ours. but with only
Il small degree of success. "It is by no
means unlikely that we shall have one
of the largest storms of the season in
the near future" says the Boston
tions sufficient even partly to make up
the difference in precipitation from
which we have suffered since the year
opened, or in fact since the opening of
the last three years. it will be little less
than a cataclysm. And then the line
storm theorists would doubtless have
their 'ahas' all ready for us. 1t would
still be the old fiat, and they would
continue to be unable to show the re-
lation of cause and effect"
That the moon eXerts an influence
upon the tides has been demonstrated
and science has declared the reason for
it, but that the sun when passing
southward. mobiliZes the winds and
marshals the clouds for an angry DEM
onstration is one of the delusions that
has thus far resisted all assaults. One
authority says: The equinoctial storm
is simply name given to the heaviest
storm that happens to occur within a
few weeks of the date of the equinox"
Sometimes it does not come until Oc-
tober. and the believers in it say that
it has been delayed, as though the
sun occasionally failed to get through
its operations on schedule time. Some
times 1t occurs in early September or
late August. and then it is described
as ahead of time.
AS matter of fact there have not
been in two hundred years more than
a dozen storms in close connection with
the equinox. AS many as that could
have been connected with any other
arbitrary date at this season of the
year. The beginning of the stormy

Simple Dress for School.

Out of the variety of items pertain
ing to school and college life. these
days, stands forth one truth above all
lit is the beginning of the real work of
men and young women in this country.
1t is the rough hard climb of confident,
happy youth. The path of study may
seem hard to the young, hut in reality
it is agentle down-hill stretch as COM
pared to the after work which leads to
real success. To the real student-the
real man or woman of progress, life is
one continuous course Of study, to
some of us barely a moment is wasted
in busy round of duty, which from
very application becomes pleasure ra-
ther than work.
But this is not what we started out
to say. In watching the hundreds of
students on their way to school in Au-
gusta, this week, we have made note
of few points to which we shall re-
fer from time to time, by the way of
friendly criticism. One of these is in
relation to school dress. 1t seems to
US an unwise habit that many school
girls have of trying to outdO each 9TH
er in the matter of dress. Some of
ed for an elaborate social function, and
attention thus devoted to dress cannot
but detract from that given to study.
to say nothing of the unhappy and un-
comfortable contrast it sets up against
children who are unabl" to match
them. Some OF these petty iealousies
are pitiful, and our Sympathie are al
ways with the child whose parents are
unable to crafty their desire to dress
as we'll in the school-room as some of
their more pretentious friends.
This is a matter wholly for the con-
sderation of the parents. Teachers
cannot handle the problem. They may
recommend, but the cooperation of ia
theirs and mothers is necessary to do
away with some of these silly notions
Perhaps Augusta is as free from the
overdressing habit as is any city in the
land. and we would congratulate ia
theirs and mothers on their sensible
views of these things. However, an
occasional case even here comes to no.

utmost friendliness. hoping that ou,
suggestion may appeal to some little
girl who is trying to outdress her
friends. and who may of her own ac-
cord forbear to further injure those
who are unable to dress as eXtrava-
gantly as she does.
If girls would only remember that
artificial adornment should be left to
the older people and that no iewelry or
ribbons can equal the beauty of the
healthy cheek, the glowing eye and the
laughing face of a healthy girl. Ma
ture has done more for these than it
would he possible for any costumer or
jeweler to do. Simple dress but sets
forth the beauty of the form and fea-
ture of the girl herself. but eXtrava-
giant attire and jewelry outshine the
natural beauties of the girl herself

comes the effect of beautiful pictures.
These are days when children should
devote every energy to climb high
enough to get real view of life and

all the most important thing before

A WelI-Preserved Man.

My Uncle John is well preserved,
Though he is over fifty;
Of sturdy build, and iron nerved
is he. and very thrifty.
He will let nothing go to waste,
Especially his victuals
re carves fowl with style and taste
While to the bone he whittes.
But that does not explain his vim
Nor all his actions youthful:
Ills foodstuffS are preserving him,
10 be exact and truthful
The milk contains formaldehyde. /
AS chemists oft have noted
me bacon with which he's supplied
Has all been creoSoted.
The jelly that he buys contains
Some salicylic acid:
ihis stops all his rheumatic pains
And makes my uncle placid:
The maple syrup for his cakes
Saves him from qualm and quiver-
Sulphate of soda in it makes
For him healthy liver.
The CLAIMS he eats may have been dug
Back in the age Jurassic.
And still are fresh through some such
As acid that's boracic
The soup he sips he knows are canned.
But takes them like stole;
They have been most precisely planned
The acids are benZoic.
Corned beef-you see my Uncle John
Is quite a hearty eater
Is fit for him to fatten on,
Tis doctored with saltpeter
Canned peaches. pickles. vinegar
Ice cream and wine-he's sated
With things extracted from coal and tar
And spirits methylated.
If he should be downtown for lunch
His menu is the snuggest;
He merely takes the time to munich
Some things bought from the druggist
And so you see my uncle is
Preserved as nature planned him:
The drugs affect that frame of his
As though some one had canned him.

One Who Was Ready.

So few are ready when the call
Is waited Shoreward from the deep;
The summons that must come to all.
The trySt that mortal man must keep.
But he was ready: through the day
He did his task and lived his prayer.
A weary hill made hard the way
He saw the roses growing there.
And when the twilight hour drew near,
He stood beside the silent sea:
And in his heart there was no fear
OF all its dread immensely.
He waited there in perfect faith,
The while the fading day grew dim;
The boatman's hail., the voyage of death
Meant only going home to him.

GOLD
INTO THE SEA
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICAN
INSURGENTS WILL FIGHT SHIP
SUBSIDY BILL TO THE LAST
DITCH.
(5y Tav.)
Speciat To the .Iotyrp,I

Washington, Feb. 10.-The Demo
Gratis and some Of the Insurgents are
today lined UP to fight the Taft-Hum-
phrey ship subsidy bill to the last
ditch, on the ground, as Rainey OF T.
lineis put it, that it sanctions the
pouring of gold into the sea-"
While opposing the Taft-Humphery
bill, the minority will offer a meas
ure which they contend will solve the
problem of the declining American
merchant marine without any cost
whatever to the people. Thus the
Democrats will not be open to the
charge that although opposing ship
subsidy, they failed to offer any
thing in the way of constructive legis-
lation as substitute.
Present indications are that the
measure which will be offered as a
substitute for the. Humphreys
bill, and will be supported by the
Democrats, will provide for:
1. Free ships.
2. A five-per cent discriminat tory
tariff duty in favor of goods carried
in American bottoms.
3. The feature of the Taft-Hum-
phrey bill exacNng heavier tonnage
tax on foreign vessels.
A bill comprising these features will
be reported by the minority members
OF the committee on merchant marine
and fisheries. This will place pc.
fore the house two measures aiming
at the restoration of American ships
upon the sea.
1t is doubtful If any bill offered at
the present session OF congress will
result in as hot and as close a fight
as will the ship subsidy bill. There
is no warrant for either side to claim
that success or defeat Of the ad-
ministration measure is certain. The
result is uncertain, and it would be
waste OF space to predict either
that the ship subsidy will pass or fail
to pass. All that can be said is that
the men who will benefit by the pass.
age of the Taft-Humphrey bill, which
provides for the payment of S5,OOO,.
900 annually from the public treasury
to private ship owners, have resorted
to every device known to politics TO
secure the support Of q majority of
the members of congress. These men
have spent great sums Of money to
influence public opinion, and have not
hesitated to charge lack of patriotism
and even dishonest motives against
all who oppose ship subsidies. Mis-.
representation has been. one sof the
chief features Of the campaign that
has been carried on by the subsidy
proponents. President Taft's innu-
ence has been used in every way
possible to force Republicans into
line for ship subsidy, but it is said
that in spite of the presidents en-
dorsement that as many as forty Re.
publicans will refuse to vote for the
bill
Now that the general character Of
the bill that will be supported by the
minority is known, it becomes posi-
BILE to contrast the position of the
two parties on the subject of ship
subsidy.
The Taft-Humphrey bill provides
that the profit of the foreign mail
branch of the postoffice department
about S5,000,000 annually-shall be
used to establish lines of steamships
to China, Japan Australia, the Philip
pines and South America This
would add from eight to twelve ships
to the American merchant marine.
