Peace and The Big Stick.
served

Col. Roosevelt gave lucid state
ment of his views as to peace which
appears to be, Let US have peace,
lif we have to fight for tin his
recent address on international
Peace at Christiana. Here is a char
acteristic extract: In our COM
pick industrial civilization Of today
the peace Of righteousness and JUS
tice. the only kind Of peace worth
having, is at least as necessary in
the industrial world as it is among
nations. There is at least as much
need to curb the cruel greed and ar
rogance Of part Of the world Of cap
ital, to curb the cruel greed and yio-
lence Of part Of the world Of labor.
as to check cruel and unhealthy
militarism in international relation
ships.
1--WE must ever bear in mind that
the great end in view righteous
ness, justice as between man and
man, nation and nation, the chance
to lead our lives on somewhat
higher level, with broader spirit
Of brotherly good will for another.
Peace is generally good in itself, but
it is never the highest good unless it
comes as the handmade of righteous
ness. and it becomes very evil
thing if it serves merely as a mask
for cowardice and sloth, or as an in
strument to further the ends of des.
potisnl or anarchy. We despise and
abhor the bully, the brawler, the OPP
pressor, whether in private or pub
lie life; but despise no less the cow
ard and the voluptuary. No man
is worth calling man who will not
fight rather than submit to infamy
or see those that are dear to him
suffer wrong. No nation deserves to
exist il it permits itself to lose the
stern and virile virtues, and this
without regard to whether the loss is
due to the growth Of heartless and
all-absorbing commercialism, to pro-
longed indulgence in luxury and
soft, effortless ease, or to the delft
cation Of warped and twisted SEN
timentality.'

LET THE WHOLE PEOPLE SPEAK.

/ President Northrup recently ex-
pressed his attitude to the county
option movement in terms which
practically tell the whole story. as
the movement presents itself to the
unbiased citizen whose only desire
| is for fair play for the whole people.
President Northrup is quoted as
saying that ''he appeared not as a
partizan but as citizen to say that
the people of Minnesota have been
denied the right to say whether or
not they want saloons long enough. :
His view of the county option move
ment is thus tersely stated:
Il have never been a third party
Prohibitionist. In my native state
of Connecticut saw the Maine law
passed by the legislature and then |
saw it go into desuetude and not be
enforced. / believe in law and / be-
lieve in the enforcement of law, and
believe in progressive law just as
fast as public sentiment will stand
back of the law and enforce it. am
therefore. in favor of giving the
people of the various counties of
the state the opportunity to say
whether they want saloons or do not
want saloons.
We are not asking the legislature
to abolish the saloon in a single
county; we are merely asking the
legislature to let the people of the
various counties say whether they
will abolish or keep the saloon, and
that is fair, that is just. and / mis-
take greatly the spirit Of the people
of Minnesota if they do not mean
now to demand as right from the
legislature the privilege so to vote
so to express their sentiments upon
this question"

is due to show up tonight and we
shall watch results with some skep-
ticism as to the Indian prophecy.

By the American standard of hui
man values, the loss to the world by
the recent death Of England's king
is not irreparable. The English
people would manage to get on very
well without any royal figure head
at all, quite likely, but they have
the habit and consequently have
taken on another ruler of name
not the pleasantest to American
ears King George. Any one who
has read Thackeray's candid size up
of the four Georges will get the idea
that they were very common clay.
The reign of Queen Victoria has
done much to redeem the reputa-
ton of the Hanoverian line, how
ever. Her successor had many of
the redeeming qualities which dis
tinguished his royal mother, in spite
of a past that savored more of the
Hanoverian Georges and which
would have effectually disqualified
him from chance under an elect
i've System of government. And the
newspapers hint at bar sinister on
the early career of King George the
last. while maintaining he is a
model husband and father since he
became Prince of Wales. Previous
to that time, it is asserted. the prince
fell in love with a young woman of
ordinary rank and was faithful TO
her until the responsibility of a
crown prince devolved upon him
through the death of his brother.
when in some way a convenient ar
rangement was found for placing
the unfortunate woman in the case
on the shelf. the prince ultimately
mating second time with lady in
the princely rank. This is stated as
a matter Of no particulr Importance
10 the newspapers. but an American
citizen who should be so unfortun-
ate(?) would find it difficult to get
an endorsement at the ballot box as
ruler. But perhaps this is lese ma
jeste. They do these things diff
ferently in royal circles than in the
common herd.

| Samuel Y. Gordon was born at Lex.
ington, a small town in southern
Indiana, Sept. Ia, 1861. His line OF
ancestors were of Scotch and Irish
blood and were in their turn pion-
GERS of Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana
and Minnesota. In the early part OF
1862 he moved with his mother and
grandparents to Meeker County
Minnesota. where they located on a
homestead few miles from where
the city of Litchfield now stands. his
father at that time serving as
Union soldier in the Civil War.
| Late in the summer of 1862 the
Minnesota indian massacre took
place, and Mr.. Gordon's people were
driven out of Meeker county, return
ing to Indiana where they remained
until the indian uprising had been
Quelled when the family again re-
turned to Meeker county, where the
subject of this sketch resided until
the winter of 1880-81, when he NOV
ed to BrownsValley. He was at first
employed in the implement business
by his father, but soon branched in
to the newspaper field, founding the
Inter-Lake Tribune in Augu st 1885,
which paper he has con tinuously
published ever since, a period of
nearly quarter of century.
Mr.. Gordon has held many posi-
tons of trust in his home commun-
ity. Is years as member of the board
of education. and is at the present
time the president of that body. He
has served as president of the Com
mercial club and the County Fair
association and is at present presi-
dent of Browns Valley Telephone

OF keeping down rates. Aside from
his other duties. Mr.. Gordon has

The News Tribune Of Duluth takes

The News Tribune Of Duluth takes
an optimistic view Of muck raking.
its cause and effect. It points out
that in the past few years there
has been no end of muck politically
speaking, and that the people were
growing hardened to the grating
habit until aroused by the disclos-
ures of the press. But it is probably
true, as the News Tribune asserts,
that times have changed, and much
for the better. The signs of the
times point to the present as the
time of public awakening, as shown
by the driving from high places all
over the country of the grafters and
of the increasing demand for the
commission form of government
for cities. 1t might have added as
another favorable symptom. the lin
ing up of voters on moral rather
than political rallying points. The
independent voter. instead of being
the exception. is now almost the
rule.

ment arose on Wall avenue between j..
D. Hanson and his wife as to the corner
al which they were TO alight, precipitat-
ed a row between the two men. which
reached the police court this morning.

According TO the testimony, Hanson,
who was accompanied by his wife and
another woman. asked the conductor to
stop the car at Twenty eighth street
Mrs Hanson demanded that the car he
stopped at Thirtieth street. Strickler
sniled--he may have laughed-at the dis :
agreement.
l. Becoming enraged, Hanson is said to
have made sighting remark TO Strick-
Ter, The latter resented this and struck
Hanson In the fight which followed a
revolver dropped on the floor OF tho
car and WAS recovered by the conductor.

Hanson and that he grabbed it from his

fore the fight started. Hanson was not

Ogden. The shirt worn by the dead
man has been examined by the woman.
and the inclsion from the jewel ia plainly
discernibe. This indicates that the dia-
mond was taken from him after he had
been shot down. The two diamond rings
which he wore also are missing.
The character of the dead Jap led the
police at first TO believe the story told by
Kawshata that he shot in self defense
after he had been twice fired at. care

of the kitchen in which the tragedy oc-
CURED has failed to show any mark left

The inquest will be continued Wednes-

some sensational evidence may be pro-
duccd. The body OF the dead man WAS
taken to Salt Luke for burial Sunday.
