CHILDREN AND sNOBBlSHNESS

All children are SO snobbish as they know how to be; and I fancy that the child's perennial delight in fairy tales is not due solely to the epic instinct. One is interested in princes and princesses, when one is eight, simply because they are princes and princesses. Of royalty, one is perfectly sure. l have never known a child who did not prefer the goose-girl to be princess in disguise, or who felt any real sympa- thy with the princess who was only . disguised goose-girl. You do not have to expound the divine right to any one under twelve. Peasants are an acquired taste; and Socialism is an illusion of age.-Katherine K. Gerould, in the Atlantic.

WHO ARE YOU?"

Adversiting is telling who you are, where you are, and what you have to offer the world in the way of service or commodity. If nobody knows who you are, or what you have to offer, you do no business, and the world is the loser through giving you absent treatment. Life IS too short for the consumer to employ detectives to fer ret out the merchants who have the necessities of life to sell. - Ebert Hubbard.

New York. Sept 7.-Ex-President
Theodore Roosevelt deals with the ar
bitration treaties recently presented to
the senate in an editorial article ap-
pearing in the Outlook today. He says
in part:
TT is one of our prime duties as a
nation to seek peace. 1t is an even
higher duty to seek righteousness. 1t
is also our duty not to indulge In
sharns, not to make believe we are get
ting peace by some patent contrivance
which sensible men ought to know
cannot work in practice and which If
we sought to make it work, might
cause irretrievable harm. 1 sincerely
believe in the principle of arbitration;
I believe in applying that principle so
far as practicable; but I believe that
the effort to apply where 1t is not
pra cticable cannot do good and may do
serious harm. Confused thinking and
a willingness to substitute words for
thought. even though inspired by an
entirely amiable sentimentality, do not
tend toward sound action.
Il think that the great majority OF
those persons who advocate any ana
every treaty which is called treaty
for peace or for arbitration would no
less often be drawn into a position
that tends to humiliate their country
If they would take the trouble to for
nulate clearly and devitely just what
it is that they desire. OF course there
are persons wholly Indifferent to the
national honor and interest who, In
consequence, cannot be reached by an
appeal to national honor and interest;
and there are other persons whose IN
grained personal timidity is such that
they are more afraid of war than of
any dishonor, personal or national.
BELIEVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
"we the American people, believe
and ought to believe IN righteousness
first and in peace as the handmade OF
Righteousness. We abhor brutality,
wrong doing. whether exhibited by ma
tions or by individuals. We hold that
the same law of righteousness should
obtain between nations and nations as
between man and man. I for one would
rather cut off my hand than see the
United States adopt the attitude either

President Diaz and said that General
Reyes was trying to rob him of the
fruits of victory. Madero accuses
Reyes of criminal acts and said he
hoped that the general would be forced
to leave the country.
When Madero mentioned the name

oMMENDS THAT THE POST
THERE BE ABANDONED.
RX Associated Press.

washington, Sept. 7.-Unless the
navy department comes to the rescue
of the F1oridians, the military post at
kew west barracks and at Fort Taylor
probably will be abandoned. This, fol-
lowing the practical closing of the
Pensacola navy yard, will leave very
little of the United States military ma
val establishment on the peninsula.
Brig. Gen. A. L. Mills, commanding
the denartment of the gulf has pointed
ont TO the war department that the
principal value of the Key West bar
racks and Fort Taylor seems to be for
the protection of the naval base at
Kew west, which has not been of much
value since the acquisition OF Porto
Rico and of a naval base at Guantana-
mo, Cuba.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Sept.
7.-Prosecutor L. o. Wendenburg de-
clared today that he had decided not to
request for the re-opening of the Beat
tie case on account of the discovery of
an alleged eye witness.
I'VE have a strong enough case
without It, he said. I'VE could not
get the man here for a couple of days
at least, as he lives out west But we
have asked him to come here just the
same to see what there is to his story.
OF course we have received. as is usual
in murder cases. many letters from al
legged eye witnesses. This one, how
ever. signed his name and we find that
he did once work as a farm hand at a
place near the scene of the murder.
We are going to investigate it further
but you can take the story now for
what it is worth"
The writer Of the letter said that he
actually saw young Beattie kill his
wife-saw hi::l> knock her from the au-
tomobile with the butt of a shot gun
and then shoot her as she lay insen-
sible on the ground. He wrote that
Beattie threatened him when he found
that he had witnessed the deed, and
clothes and money with which to go
away.
HE WAS AFRAID.
Though he kept quiet at first be-
cause he as afraid, the man says now
he does not want Beattie to escape
punishment and is willing to testify.
Several Of the writer's statements
were soon corroborated. The Chester
field farmer mentioned in the letter
acknowledged that q man OF the name
used by the writer was employed by
him until few days after the murder
and further declared it was a fact that
the farm hand was chasing a runaway
COW on the night of. the crime.
The declaration that Beattie dubbed
his wife before shooting her is consid-
cred by the lawyers and detectives for
the prosecution with peculiar interest.
It is said that physicians who exam
ined Mrs. Beattie's body reported that
the frontal bone on the night side of
the skull probably was broken. though
the charge Of shot had entered the
left side and penetrated to the back
of the head. On account Of this, 1t is
understood Mr.. Wendenburg thought
seriously of referring to a wound on the
right side of the forehead In the indict-
ment drawn for the grand jury If the

Washington, Sept. IA crisis has
arisen in the turbulent province of
Szechuan, China. and foreign offices of
the United States and other countries
have taken precautionary steps for the
safety of their citizens in that section
An American gunboat will be brought
into play to guard American citizens,
and a formidable international navy
array is at hand in Chinese waters.
Cables to the state department say
that tax offices have been destroyed
and several officials have resigned, but
the resistance to the government in
general is passive, rather than active.
Admiral Murdocks, with his flagship
the Saratoga, is at Woo Sing, and
other United States gunboats cruising
in the Lang Use river will be placed,
according to orders today. in a manner
best calculated to forestall any danger
to Americans.
An imperial edict recently placed
under the ministry communication and
construction of all trunk lines in the
empire and cancelled concessios for
private obstruction of lines previous to
1911. This measure affected the line
to the province of Szrehuan, according
to the state department, and doubtless
precipitated the present manifestations
in the province, which are considered
more than ordinarily turbulent.
