IN HANCOCK.

Harry. Corgan, young attorney of
this city, yesterday announced his in
tention of entering the race for the
Republican nomination for the office of
Justice of the peace. Mr. Corgan is

John Eichkern, Leo Ebertoski and
Harry Corgan endeavoring to win the
favor OF the Republican voters who
will choose the delegates to the party
convention.
More Candidates Appear.
The third ward lists so far as the
Republicans are concerned are now
about filed candidates for alderman
and supervisor having appeared in the
persons of Abram Ojala, of the Eilola
store. for the former, and John c.
Condor for the latter.
The candidacy of both of these was
induced only through persistent urging.
Both are men of marked ability and
would do credit to themselves and
their constituencies If elected. They
will be opposed on the citizens tickets
by two exceedingly strong candidates,
both of whom have faithfully served

,.'y board. Messrs Dan Holland and
Supervisor John FunlIey. who are can

The fourth ward situation is still as
unsettled as ever efforts to pick out
available candidates having as yet
proven futile. Eric Anderson, who was
spoken of as possibility for the SUI

Moses has yet to be found to lead the
Republicans to the seat to be vacated

Campaign of Courtesy
A marked feature OF the present
campaign is the notable absence of
any acrimony or bitterness and the
amicable and friendly relations main
tanned by the various candidates and
their supporters. Each of the mayoral-
~ candidates has expressed his es-
teen for his rivals for the honor and

The Best Kind of an Army.

From the Boston Globe.
The immense standing armies of Eu-
rope are praised as system because OF
the discipline they give the youth who
are forced to serve In them and the les
sons in obedience and loyalty that they
teach. Americans, however. have reasons
for preferring their own. The free school
Is our standing army. The discipline its
soldiers gain Is not in touching caps and
handling guns. Their minds are drilled
more than their feet and 1t is moral
discipline we aim to give them. They
should learn obedience not to kaiser or
king, but to the laws Of nature, and
should be taught to be loyal to the ideals
that rule the republic Girls as well as
boys are drawn into this standing army
of an educated democracy and share its
advantages equally.
The European system of standing arm
les, while carrying few incidental bene-
fits, Is by unanimous admission griev-
Gus burden. The American system, faulty
though 1t may be, Is an unmixed blessing.
Ours costs far more-New York city alone
is spending <37.O0O.O00 on schools this
year-but 1t pays back to US every dollar
with usury. Thus while the countries Of
the old world are praying for the day
when their soldiers may dispense. We are
ever striving to recruit and incease our
forces. In the cities Of continental Eu-
rope there rise the high walls of great
military barracks, filled with wasted

enormous power for good which reverence

The first act presents a boarding house,
with all the vulgarity. meanness and
seH-seehing said to be prevalent in many
such places. The landlady is worn and
bitter woman, who has learned to cr1nge

about a room on the third floor back. In
the other two acts he changes the outlook
and spirit of each one. He is quiet and
reticent. but appeals to their better
selves, to the love which was once in
their hearts.
The play is essentially a symbolic
drama, and the stranger who works
these miracles is throughout n symbolic
