THE SCoRN OF WAR.

The SrOrn of war, says Gen. IIO-
 mcr Lee, and the denial of death belong to the same category of iSclf-dcccptiOn. Ii is the hate of realities and the drrisiOn of the non-apparrni. Sn mankind hides it away from him in the deep eel lars of his consciousness, where Inc burics his hidden fears. In d logical exposition of ihiS subject called 'Thr Day of the Saxnn," General Lee points out again that Ih"rc is no such lhinG for inc American or British nal ion as inI- muniiy from invasion. In the I:'Nalnr of Ignorance" he rndrav- pred fn arouse the Anglo-SaXnn from his fancird security, and
 now, in "Thr Day of the SaXOn,"
 Inc sounds trumpet call tO Eng
 land. The book is dedicated IO
 Lord Roberts and strives to al tract the concentrated attention
 of the English toward the fact
 that it is prone to ignOre-namc-
 ly, that neglect of ones country is to perish with it.
 General Lee argues clearly that
 to evade the recognition of in dividual extinction is identical with that subterfugc practiccd by Iunmartial nations toward war. His arguments lead to the con- clusion that while it is difficult
 for the AnglO-SaxOn tO under Istand that German expansion is not circumScribed by the Euro
 pran continent, that this German Icypansion must lead ultimately lO T struggle with the AnglO-SaxOn
 race and, in proportion, as it blocks the German power, to the
 same degree are the German en-
 crgicS directed toward the de-
 struclion of that power. There
 now is no part of the earth open tO TcutOnic extension without en-
 croaching to corresponding de-
 gree upon the rights and sov- Iereignty prc-cmpted by the Sax on. The Saxon's problems and
 rival powers arc the keynote of this scholarly discussion.

THE LoRIMER CASE.

IOriIncr has returned fo his constituency supposedly in dis grace, but in fact was acclaimed as a martyr by thousands of his constituents, who filed the second largest hall in Chicago Io tender him n homo welcome and fo at l"sl their loyalty tO him.
 Lorimcr has not been cOnsign- cd to oblivion, but instead has be- come a factor in national policies in the staIc of Illinois. The par lizans of Taft and the hcnchmcn of Roosevelt arc beginning to call culaIc what effect the power of Lorimcr will have on the chances Of their respective candidates in the state, of which Lorimer was

the representative in the higher
 branch of Congress.
 How comes it that d man eX-
 r: He'd in disgrace from the Sen
 ate of the United States can re- 'arn to his own home and remain
 a power in public matters. The
 people of the state of Illinois arc
 no better or no worse than those of any other of the congcstcd statcs supporting a large foreign
 born population.
 LOrimer insisted from the be- ginning that he was not the pro- duct of fraud, and, if money was spent in his behalf, it was done without his knowledge. In this position he was supported by many able lawyers in the Sen ate, who firmly believed him to be the victim of circumstances rath- or than the victim of his own dis honesty. In fact, few persons who know IorImcr accuse him of per s"nal dishonesty. He is regard cd, indeed, as a clcanly gentleman of fine qualities. The character of the pathetic address he made to the Senate in his own behalf $rr'nS to be the emanation of a clear rnnScIrncr, rather than the dcmaEngic appeal of man who Was trying lo hide his shortcnm- inHS.
 But that hr Was indeed the pro- duct of evil conditions there seems tn be little doubt, and this Was the ground upon which many or the senators voted lo rXpcl him. olllriS were pressed by popular clan"r, no doubt, much against their friendly desires, 'lu vote for his expulsion.

HITCH YOUR WAGON TO A STAR

some good friend in Valdez mailed in the writer a postal card, i'll common with a number of oth- CTS. On the card sent the editor was printed the following cpl gram: I've are very apt tn meas urc ourselves by our aspirations instead of by our performances"
 We are sad lO confess, we are all too prone in taking acpuunt of ourselves, in holding before us tn" mirror of our lives, iu set our selves as We wish in be, rather than as W. actually are. IL is one of the fraillirS of human nature. Al the best We are full of little personalities: We seldom live the life We would make ourselves he lirNr Wr did.
 The Good Book teaches Us that "" are nul perfect: some are bel ter than others and others are worse than the few. IL takes all kinds, except the perfectly good, tn make lhis world. Of the lat fer there are none. The good are only comparatively so. We arc very apt to measure ourselves by our aspirations" is the one hope held out to all of Us, for, without those aspirations we would soon sink to the level of the savage.
 Some one, in writing of our as piratiOns said we should hitch our wagon to a Siar,' meaning that our aspirations should hcl high and noble: we should not aspire tn snrdid or selfish things. for after all is said and done, our aSpirat ions is the lnadSlnnr which guides Us on in the iracklrSs sea of life Iu our final haven. where We are iu anchor for time ind d'ii- nii". Noble aspiration will car ry Us on a definite and straight course io our ultimate destination no matter what the local altrac- lions may hr, in. temporarily sway uS from the straight course. Without aspirations wr arc ship al sea without ru,ldrr or compass; ] We are unfortunate indeed. no matter how well ordered our lives may br. who journey on through life without aspirations. A good man does not exist without as piraIionS and yrt man of frail spirit and of comparatively weak character, with high aspirations can accomplish much good for both himself and his fellow man, yet take from him these higher higher thoughts and ambitions and you have but the drOss in your melting poi.
 We thank our unknown friend for having sent the card. IL re- 'ninds Us how far short we have fallen from what we might bn dreaming wr are. We are so apt in our weakness to deceive our .>rlvcs a. ln the whole truth and il is only those little jars on our conscience which awakrnS us to true realization of our actual self as We are. We sincerely hope our friend has high and lofty as- pirations, and, what is better yet conscicnliously tries lo live up to them. cW arc sure his life will be the better and happier for it, as will be the lives of those close to him. The writer can only hope that in the years io come he can model his life closer to his as- pirations than hc has in the past.

Ever since flags were used in war
1t has been the custom to have the

self hopelessly beaten 1t hauled its
flag down far enough for the flag Of
the victors to be placed above It on
the same pole. This was q token not
only of submission. but Of respect.
In those days. when a famous sol.

to public life Of all kinds, the flag fly
