yaPas's ATTITUDE TOWARD
AMERICA.

whichever way you may look at
the situation, the one fact stands
supreme. The new Anglo-Japanese
treaty marks the new era OF peace
I'm the Far East Another fast Is
that the new treaty Is the direct
come OF the Anglo-American arbi-
tration treaty.
Whether the AngIo-American trea-
ty pass the United States Senate or
not. no one can say. The angus;
Senators will probably decide It's fate
early next month. As far as Asiatic
diplomacy is concerned. IL matters
not at all. Article " Of the ne@'
Anglo-Japanese treaty Is the chief
contribution OF the American ar5i-
tration treaty TO the diplomats OF the
Far East. And the most eloquent
thing about Il all is the prompt and
eager manner in which Japan took
/ to the new provision excluding the
United States from the list Of posi-
BILE powers against whom. in time OF
| trouble, she may expect British help.
Here is the death blow to all the
! entertaining talk Of the American
| Japanese war lunacy. If there were
bare ghost Of a possibility OF ia
pans getting into trouble with
America she would have hesitated
over the pregnant Article " OF the
new treaty. Did she? Did she at
| least insist that the treaty should not
be murdered four years before its
natural term Of life? Not at all.
. The new treaty was concluded in a
manner and time scandalously brief
and sudden for so important an
agreement.
| 1t came at the right time, also.
! The so-called four-power loan to
; China was successfully negotiated
this year. Much talk has been man
ufactured over it, some of it not in
tended for the funny sheet Of Sun
day newspaper. There were proph-
cts among the American newspaper
correspondents in the Far East, who
told us that America is bound to
fight Japan over Manchuria. They
talked as If America would actually
send her soldiers six thousand miles
over sea to fight and die for money
mot for the life Of Mr.. Morgan and
others of Wall Street Or Mr.
Straight who represents them, but
for their money invested in China
The new treaty makes it plain that
if the American soldiers insist or
going out to Manchuria to die fol
American bankers money, they viii
have to find some other power beside!
Japan to furnish shots and powder
Moreover, there are people in japan
who think that the Chinese, not the
japanese, would give the American
bankers all the worry they may wish
to have over their investments il
China. Witness the revolutionary
volcano upon which the dragon
throne of the Manchu dynasty rests

AUTUMN THE BEAUTIFUL.

Autumn the beautiful stays. and IL
glad;
In exquisite raiment she lives and
ie clad:
We are all praying that autumn may
stay.
For her life Is a summertime every
fair day.
Autumn a beautiful minister proves;
She wakens in hearts that were fear
full new loves;
Her rays are so sunny, the birds sing
for giee.
And autumn is gracious 10 you and
10 me.
Do you know what the tress are like
in these new days?
Who could tell you their wonders in
hundreds Of lays?~
Some are great punches of yellowish
gold.
And some are of colors too fair to
be told
Can # be summer is saying good
bye?
Autumn the beautiful scarce can re
ply.
She still keeps the summer for all al
her gate
We should scarce mourn the spring
II this autumn could wait.
Yet she is dying, alas! and alas!
And we know what must shortly be
coming to pass;
But she does her best to join summer
with spring.
And her powerful ministry comfort
must bring.
Who fears to die in the glory she
shows?
She is quite ready for quiet repose.
And though we cannot pass with such
exquisite sway,
Autumn the beautiful shows us tht
way.

Certain to Catch.

A Capitol Avenue lad of eight
wished to go fishing, but his mamma
refused to permit him to go near the
water. Johnny, nevertheless, slipped
out and went to Fall Greek, where
he f1shed for an hour or more. On
his way home he met a neighbor,
who was surprised to see Johnny car
rying a fish-pole.
Hello, Johnny" said the neigh
Dor. Been fishing?'
Yes, SIR Johnny answered.
What did you catch?"

1.-THE Blues"

There are two opposite tendencies
day. One regards mental disturb
ances as dependent upon abnormal
physical states; the other looks upon
the mind as the regulator of, or at
least exerting a very marked inf1u-
ence upon, the health of the body.
right in part, and both are wrong in
their eXclusiveness, in refusing to
admit that the mind and the body
exert a reciprocal influence upon each
other. Mems sana in corpore Sano, a
sound mind in a sound body, was the
ancient definition of perfect health.
In it was the recognition of the fact
that both mind and body have to do
with health, and that neither can be
disordered without acting refexly
upon the other.
Putting aside the discussion of
the influence Of the mind upon the
body, which no one who has given
thought to the subject, however ma
terialistic in his conceptions he may
be, can doubt, it may be interesting
and profitable as we'll to note an in
stance of the opposite influence: OF
the effect upon the mental vision OF
a slight bodily defect.
Every one knows from sad expert
ence that uncomfortable condition
most appropriately called 'the blues. y
It is state of temporary pessimism
during which the unhappy victim can
see no silver lining to the clouds that
beset his soul. The mental facul.
ties are not impaired, reason and
judgment remain, and one will even
admit, when argued with, that things
are not as black as they seem, YET
he cannot dissipate the fog that sur.
rounds him and shuts out from his
mental view all the blessings of his
lot.
1t seems as if nothing is more
purely mental than an attack of the
blues, yet in fact nothing is more
purely physical. 1t has no founda.
ton of real grief, neither is it due
to any apparent diseae of the body
In fact, as has been argued very
plausibly by California physician
it is frequently due to abdominal con
gestion. This may seem absurd, bu
it's explanation is rational.
The mind, in it's prison of ths
body, is dependent upon the healthy
function of the bIain cells, and this
function depends upon supply OF
good, pure blood. Stagnation any
where in the system prevents thi;
supply, and nowhere is stagnatioI
more apt to occur than in the alb
dominal organs. Any one suffering
from the blues can prove this b.
nerving himself to a course of alb
dominal exercise, bending over tt
touch the toes, twisting from side tt
side, and contracting the walls of tbs
abdomen fifty to one hundred times
at the same time expanding the ches
and taking long breaths. Follow
these exercises by a good brisk walk
and then search yourself for your
blues-Youth's Companion.

A Word to Our Subscribers
Who Are i'm Arrears.

In about a weeks time we
expect to begin sending out
out statements to all our SUBJ
scribers who are in arrears on
subscription to The Caucasian.
AS our list now stands, the
postage alone on the state
ments would amount to more
than fifty dollars. We have
continued to send the paper
through the dull season with
out saying anything about
money, but this is the season
of the year when almost every
one has a little money with
which to meet their obliga-
tons. Look at the date on the
label of your paper, and if
your subscription is past due,
kindly remit at once and save
the expense of mailing you a
statement.

Cursed God and Has Been Helpless
Ever Since.

Ever Since.
Mr.. Henry Sheriff., of the Iron Sta
ton community, while on a visit to
relatives here last week, told an in
teresting story concerning one of his
neighbors, Abe Hester, a man of fifty
years and well-to-do farmer. He said
that in June Hester, who had evil
IDENTIFY worried about the drouth and
the loss of crops until he become I'M
alanced-although up to the mo-
ment he appeared sane enough-got
in his yard one day and cursed the
Almighty to all the variations Of pro-
family he could muster, because no
rain fell to relieve crops. Following
this, says Mr.. Sheriff., he got out his
shotgun and discharged it three
times in the air as a token of his
feelings toward God. All at once he
collapsed, and from that day to this
has lain helpless on his bed, unable
to move or speak, recognizing no one.

TRAIN BANDITS
 ARE SENTENCED

Gainesville, Ga.- March 3.-George An derson, alias "Old Bilr' Miner, George Hanford and J. E. Hunter. accused of being members of the gang which held up the United States fast mail, South ern railway train, near White Sulphur Springs, Ga, on the morning of February 1S. were convicted at special term of the Hall county superior court held here today and sentenced to prison, Anderson for 20 years, and Hanford and Hunter 15 years each.
 After being sentenced the prisoners arose and thanked the judge for not im- posing heavier sentences, Anderson say ing, "Thank you, judge. Robbery Is rob- bery, and here's another case"
 The selection of jury, introduction of testimony, argument by attorneys and rendering of the verdict required only a little more than eight hours Upon be- ing arraigned Anderson entered a plea of not guilty. but Hanford and Hunte. pleaded guilty and turned states evil dencc. On the witness stand they stated that Anderson was the leader of the gang. which was organized in Pennsyl- vania, they said, with the avowed pur- pose of committing train robbery in this state.
 Anderson is wanted in Victoria, B. O., to serve the remainder of a term for train robbery, but his conviction here today means that he will not be sur rendered to the Canadian authorities un- til after the completion of his sentence in Georgia. AS he is 0 years of age he probably will never be required to complete his term in Canada.

 the old style "carbon filament lamp expired in 1884, an organized monopoly of the trade was planned and enected although the right to make, use and sell became free to all as a matter or law.
 The introduction of the so-called "tung- sten and tantalum'' lampb adds another chapter to the story and the petition alleges that the defendants have un- lawfully acquired the patents to that style of lamp.
 Contracts were made with foreign cor porations by which 1t is alleged control was secured of all the patents on the manufacture of tungsten filament "'fore- stalling the possibility of any competition whatever" Unfair competition, the sale of inferior lamps to customers of independent com panies- at greatly reduced prices, sales of lamps under false brands and other cffenses of a similar nature are also charged
 Although 1t was the announced inten- ton of the department of justice not to file any further antitrust actions until the Standard Oil and tobacco cases had been decided in the supreme court, the electrical case is an exception as it re- yeals around questions of patent law and to what extent patents may be acquired to create a restraint of trade or mon. opoly.
