A TRUE PEACE GUARANTEES.

"A TRUE PEACE GUARANTEE.
President Taft, aboard the yacht
Mayflower, as he passed between the
twin lines of naval craft on the Hud-
son river reviewing the highest dc
VelOpment of warship building, and
behOIding the most powerful American
armada ever assem- bled, was looking
upon our most potent guarantee of
peace. The war vessels, arrayed in a
line of fifteen miles along the Hud-
son, 127 in all, symbolized as much
this country's Industrial and CONNER
cialf status among the peoples of the
earth as they do the power of the
United States to prevent foreign ag-
greSsionS and to redress wrongs per-
petrated. Our naval force is compel

when John Paul Jones convinced the
world that 10 colonies in America had
navy superior in effectiveness, if in
ferior in size, to that of Great Brit
ain, Americans have been proud of
their prowess at sea. In the war Of
1912 the most brilliant series of vic
tories reached a climax in Perry's
triumph on Lake Erie. From thu
time of Barry, on the Delaware. to
that of Dewey at Manila and Schley
at Santiago, the American navy has
proved itself second to none in those
qualities which triumph over guam

about quarter of a century. To Will

bert, as secretaries of the navy, must
be given credit for taking the first
steps in movement which fitted this
country for the decisive victory of
1898. Since the latter date the most
stupendous warship building has pre-

Some Difficult Words.

Shakespeare and Dickens are by no
means the only authors who are diff
f1cult to put into other tongues, trans
lators of the Bible often complaining
of the obstacle they have to surmount.
How, for example, render such a
language of equatorial Africa, where
snow is unknown? In the language
of the Lengua, a tribe in Paraguay,
they were obliged to translate the
word eighteen" "chog- emek-wakthla-
mok-em mik-antanthal-m ," the liter
al meaning Of which is finished my
hands, pass to my other foot-three."
H. Ottewill Bruce cites the case of a
translator in New Guinea, who, get
it from me to do this thing" consult
ed an Intelligent catechumen, who
gave him the precise idomatic eGuiva
lent in a phrase that meant May I
speak to my mother-in-law before I
will do this thing!' For it seems that
in New Guinea it is an objectionable
sin for a man to speak to his wife 8
mother.
A book could be filled with curiosi-
ties of translation. 1t is, however, far
easier to criticise than to write
translation, and any one who has had
to do much of such work must take
off his hat to masters like Gilbert
Murray for his Euripides. to Charles
Eliot Norton for his Dante, to Jow-
EFT for his Plato, to Swinburne and
Rossetti for their bits from Villon, to
Mallarme for his verses of Poe, to Sir
Christopher North for his Plutarch-

FARMING AS A BUSINESS.

FARMING AS a BUSINESS.
It is pleasing to note that Leavenworth
county farmers are becoming real bust
ness men. There are many who VIII
never make more than a bare living OF
their places but the majority are men
who go about farming just as a business
man goes about his business. 1t isn't

a real farmer. And when you meet the
owner of this place face to face, you are
surprised to find that he is very ordt-
nary sort of man to talk to. To your
establishment he quickly convinces you
that he doesn't know all about farming
but is willing to learn. He is the man
who sends for the farm expert TO help
him set out an orchard or establish n
field of alfalfa. And he tests his seed

great care. The other kind of farmer
needs no description-you have met MIN
