LIFE OF a COUNTRY EDITOR.

That is why they, as a rule. are not
great financial successes and. on the
other hand. get the most. fun out of
life
Specialization seems to be the mex
orable price of financial success Some
country editors attain financial success
by Specialization in the business end,
others by paragraphing, others by chas-
ing locals, others by bearing down on
the subscription list pedal. others by
job printing, and so it goes
The job of the country editor is in 4
class by itself There is no more SINH
larity between the work of a country
editor and that of a city newspaper
worker than there is between peeling
potatoes and playing a tuba. The city
man is specialist. He writes para
graphs or attends police court or oper-
ates a linotype-just one thing and
nothing more.
Out in the country town his COM
posite brother is the whole works,
jumping lightly from the. ink key to

collecting bills, washing rollers or
writing paragraphs. He cannot. be
master of all trades. but, he can be
master of one which will bring him

~ NE hundred years ago this month
the United States was in the
thick of war with Great Britain.
1t was the first serious dispute
after the Revolution.
Trouble had been brewing since the
fight for freedom had ended. In view
of the attitude of England, the general
congress asked the several states to
endow it with power for fifteen years,
by means of which it might cause Eng
land to be more liberal. 1t was in

peal of congress was in vain Difficult
ties soon arose between the United
States and Great Britain. each accus-
ing the other with attractions of the
treaty of peace. John Adams was
sent to England in an endeavor to ar
range matters, but he could accomplish
little.
Things became worse until congress
was placed on a higher basis and
George Washington was elected presi-
dent and John Adams vice president
This was in 1889.
TROUBLE OVER SEAMEN
About five years later millions of dol
ldrS WOTLn OI AlueriCdu SOOOS were
done away with by Great Britain.
American people We're violently agi-
tated. Another and more serious move
which perhaps did more to open HOSTILE
ties between the two countries was
the impressment of American seamen
into the British service. High wages,
humane treatment and security from
danger to be found in the American
service had attracted many British
sailors to it Threatened with a weak

At times American ships were left

seemed now Inevitable. Chief Justice

DJFSO Il second nOnlntGfcOufSe- ACT was
substituted. which. though it practi-
cally prohibited trade with the great
warning powers of Europe gave some
promise of improving the condition of
commerce. With this change Madison
became president, March 4, 1909. The
nonintercourse with Great Britain was
suspended three months later, but was
again put in force soon afterward. The
year 1909 proved the nonintercourse
ineffective, more injurious to Ameri-
cans than to England and France. for
now both powers had n chance to en-
rich themselves by enforcing the laws
of the United States against her own
commerce In 1910 Napoleon. with i'm
punity. seized S1O.000,000 worth of
property. In 1911 congress prohibited
all importations of English goods. This
caused some alarm in England, but
there was no abatement of impress
ments.
WIDENING OF THE BREACH
While the ire of America was con-
Stantly rising there came the news in
May, 1911, only three months before
most of the congressional elections
were to be held. tat the English sloop
Little Belt had practically annihiiat-
ed the United States frigate Presi-
dent. Other events occurred during
the summer and autumn of 1911 which
tended to widen the breach with Eng
land. The Indians on the western
frontier formed a confederation against
the United States. The famous Shaw
nee chief Tecumseh was at the head
of the movement. In a battle on Nov.
Z, 1911, in western Indiana, General
William Henry Harrison gained COM
plete victory. TecumSeh soon after

that the British had instigated his at

and Henry Clay was made speaker a

After long and weary debates war final
~ was declared against Great Britain
on June IS, 1872 The army at that
time amounted to 6,744 regulars. which
was increased to $4,000 by congress,
and law provided for a second volun-
teer army of $4,000 men. The regular
army during the war never exceeded
10000.
The conquest of Canada was first
sought after. General William Huh
crossed the Detroit river with 1850
men in July, 1912. but was defeated
by Major General Brock of the Eng
lSh army. More than 1000 men.
thirty-three guns and the whole state
of Michigan were thus lost in the first
part of the contest.
