What the World Needs.

Andrew Carnegie is quite optimis-
tic over the prospect of universal
peace in the near future. He be-
lieves that the recent suggestion of
President Taft in favor Of arbitration
and the speech in the British parla-
ment by Sir Edward Gray endorsing
that suggestion, has brought uniVer-
sal peace within measurable distance.
Perhaps it has, but it Is just as well
not to be too sanguine. 1t is not
forgotten that the same belief was
expressed 60 years ago on the oc-
casion of the first Great Exposition
in London. Yet within three years
Russia, France, England. Turkey and
Sardinia were engaged in war, and
that struggle was followed in quick
succession by many other wars In
cluding our Civil War and the con-
flict between France and Germany.
That events are tending toward gen
eral disarmament and universal peace
there can be no question, but the day
of converting spears and swords into
plowshares and pruning hooks is still
in the distance. But that does not
destroy the fact that the greatest
need of the world today is universal
peace. Let all the nations pray that
it will soon come.

How Hero Worship Arises.

The report that Gen. Hector Mac
donald, the distinguished British
general, is not dead but is engaged
in drilling Chinese army may be
dismissed as nothing but fancifnl
story. 1t will be remembered that
while under a moral cloud, which
subsequent knowledge had proved to
be we'll nigh false, General Macdon-
aid committed suicide in Partisan
hotel.
That a story like the above has
risen Is due to that hero worship and
appeal to imagination which is by no
means infrequent. King Harold was
killed at the battle Of Hastings but
the credulous hero-worshiEers
claimed that he escaped from the Bat
tie, lived to an extreme old age, and
that on the battlefield of Tencbbray
he turned the tide of battle in favor
of Henry /. and his English troops
by appearing suddenly upon the fielo
of battle clad in armor and by giving
the rallylng cry, Engllsnmen, re-
member Hastings"
In like manner thousands of
French soldiers would not believe
that Napoleon died at st. Helena, but
fondly. locked for the Little Cor
porar to again lead the French to
victory. A similar superstition pre-
vailed among the Russians, who were
convinced in the Crimean War that
the white Gar" as they. called Ma
poleon, would, command the French
troops and seek to avenge the disas-
trous retreat from Moscow.
History records similar stories OF
Barbarossa and otter heroes, real or
mythical, and they invariably. arise
from a peculiar mixture of supersti-
ton, credulity, and hero-worship.
Take the many stories published
about Marshal Ney. lhey were be-
lieved b. thousands of people, and is
believed yet by thousands. But there
seems to be no doubt but that he was
murdered in FranceIby the Bourbons
because he was true to Napoleon.

Solving the Problem.

It is oftentimes difficult question
what to do with prisoners and
tramps. Idleneas is bad and on the
OF her hand the honest laboring man
rebels at having cheap prison labor
compete with him. But if the object
of punishment is corrective something
must be done to stimulate and awak-
en- honest desires, and this can be
attained to a large extent through
the medium of useful labor. In Mil
waukee the plan is to be tried OF US
ing prisoners to raise all the vegeta-
bles used in county institutions. The
experiment will be watched with keen
interest. AS to tramps the New York

"Mending the Roads,"

There is an unconscious sarcasm IN
the term, "mending the roads" This
process Of "mending" is done every
year and in general It is glaring
display Of "how not to do it." 1t is
an expenditure of time and none!
which leaves the condition of the
roads worse than ever. There mas
been enough money waster in spelling
roads that if wisely used would, ere
this, have made the highways of the
country good to travel on in all kinds
Of weather. 1t seems strange that
farmers, usually so alert to every i'm
provement in their farms, should, as
rule, be so remiss in the improve
ment of the road by which the farm
must be reached, and over which eV-
er hing taken to or from the farm
must be carried. Fortunately in our
county the conviction is rapidly grow
ing that the money spent in making
good roads is the best sort of econ
omy and that such roads add greatly
to the value of the farm. The scien-
tific supervision now given our roads
have resulted in building them UP to
a great state of proficiency. and If
it is kept up and the necessary mon
ey spent on them they will all soon
be il apple-pie order. Supervisor
Fielder understands how to- build
good roads, and what Is more ne Is
building them. He is the right man
in the right place, and we take pleas
ure in saying so.

We hope that all the friends Of
The Times and Democrat, when they
come to town to do their trading,
will patronize the business houses
that advertise in this paper. Re-
member that without these liberal

p-ising business men, the price of
subscription would be at least So a
year for such a paper as The Times

that the men who advertise are wide
awake and on the alert and can give
yop better bargainst that those who
do not advertise.

legislature has just voted s1,OO0,O9O
to be spent on farm where the
tramps will be set to work. AS most
tramps have an inborn hatred OF
work they may be expected to give
the farm wide berth. However,
these experiments are worth trying,
and if they work out satisfactorily
they can be adopted by other cities.

To those interested in government
ownership, whether they favor it or
not, it is suggestive to learn that IN
Manitoba, where the government
owns and operates the telephones,
the revenue from telephones was ST.
100000 resulting in a surplus of
$4,000, that the system has had a
marvellous growth since the govern
ment took over the lines, and that the
number of rural subscribers had ris-
en- from l ,523 to 1880. This is by no
means conclusive evidence that gov
ernment ownership of public utilities
is wise, but it goes to show that such
ownership can be made to pay when
rightly managed.

Census Of the British Empire.

The census of the British Empire
to be taken on April 2nd will be 4
much simpler and less expensive af-
fair than was our own. This is oe-
cause far fewer questions have to DE
answered, and for the further reason
that the count is al made in one, day.
The entire army Of enumerators on
ADril 2nd calls for and collects the
blanks that have been left at each
house the day previous to be filled
out. and to assist in filling out if the
householders are at loss how to do
it. The comparative fewness OF the
questions prevents the information
being as complete as that given by
the United States census, but on tne
other hand the simultaneous taking
of the census undoubtedly makes this
count more accurate, as there is not
the asme opportunity for padding OF
for a person to be counted in two OF
three different places as is some
times the case under the method pre-
vailing in this country.
